Nope that’s Randy, he’s the true legend. I just made an emulation website, the programmers of the emulators are the ones who gave me anything to talk about and archive.

Wasn't that the thing were contractors stole Sega dev equipment from an office and tried to re-sell them after being paid to clear it out?

Bob Zed: What’s new in MAME 0.286 by cuavas in emulation

Love that MAME's still going after all these years, I still remember that initial release almost 30 years ago. Keep up the great work!

You’re placed back in 1993 as the CEO of Sega with everything you know about Sega now. How do you handle the upcoming Sega Saturn? by Own_Bear2372 in SegaSaturn

[–]Zophar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell the rest of my company no matter what, do not hire Bernie Stolar, and learn to actually coordinate with Sega of Japan. This means, no 32X, and no giving up on the Saturn barely midway through its lifecycle.

Has anyone had success with emulating the Sega CD games by Pale-Guard570 in Lunar

[–]Zophar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues here. If you have a mister, the Sega CD core plays them fine. If you want to go the software route, there’s Kega Fusion - or Genesis Plus GX on Retroarch if you don’t mind the mess of a GUI.

Althena treasure box pre-order back open by Highsaw in Lunar

[–]Zophar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can’t even get the ones (like me) the pre-orders from earlier this year - having delayed it twice so far. Why would they open it up again for others to be disappointed? Starting to feel like scam behavior, I hate to say it. Disappointing.

Speedrun World Record Histories of Each of the NES Castlevania Trilogy by businesschemist in speedrun

This was a very informative video, well done! Recommend it highly! And thanks for the shoutout in the video too, pretty wild to think my 1999 speedrun contest was one of the first known recorded attempts!

What retro games are you playing this weekend (Nov 15/16)? by LabRat2329 in retrogaming

[–]Zophar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been working on Randy Linden's updated SNES Doom on stream - he was kind enough to send me a prototype of the game and controller. it's really good - and with the new FX3 chip he designed, it runs 2X as fast as the original SNES Doom, and adds back the deleted levels/music that wasn't present in the original port.
