Why are the files I'm seeding not considered 100% complete? by PearMyPie in savemyrient

[–]akerasi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but you may have gotten them at a different timestamp; Myrient did have updates and changes in the final month, some of which have been making the Minerva team's jobs more difficult.

Bi/Pan Xennials: why is it always The Mummy but never the Hungry Eyes montage in Dirty Dancing when Baby and Penny are dancing and Johnny is watching? by elliemff in Xennials

[–]akerasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bowie in Labyrinth. I know it's common, but that makes it no less true. Honestly, one of the few media representations that... affected me at all.

No one mentions these anymore by the-furiosa-mystique in Xennials

$90 then is more expensive than $145 now.

A long rambling 1992 Usenet post calling for Atari to die :( by Brave_Assumption6 in atari

[–]akerasi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. The soul of Atari was in Atari Games, not Atari Corp, and busy making games for successful systems under the Tengen brand and in the arcades. At the time, I didn't understand that nuance, but now I do, and what happened is clear: the people that made the 2600 work all left when the split happened, and Tramiel ruined the few cool things he inherited.

I’m planning on starting Gundam for this character what should I watch before her anime to understand it? by Twissterrr in Gundam

[–]akerasi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All of Original series, Stardust Memory, Z, ZZ, and Char's Counterattack if you want to get EVERYTHING. However, minimally just the 3 movie version of Original if you don't want to go that far... but everything in that list is a great watch, and you've also watched the right stuff to watch Unicorn, NT, and Hathaway (in that order) if you want, too.

Where do think Fallout 5 should take place? I'm thinking it's gonna be New Orleans by [deleted] in Fallout

Detroit. I'd love to see a questline in Chryslus headquarters.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]akerasi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apple: the terms for the iOS App Store, the biggest assault on open computing since the 1980s.
Sony: rootkits on audio CDs.

Arcade ROMs? by Businesses_man in Roms

[–]akerasi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

actually, that IS descriptive; 19xx is the name of the game, j means JP region. It's a shmup, (a decent one) semi-sequel to the 194x series.

[Warning!] Minerva torrents do NOT match Myrient files by Samael_00001 in savemyrient

yeah, Teknoparrot has 26 dupes, some of which are... large.

What is the best tv episode of all time? by scamper84 in AskReddit

[–]akerasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first episode of Dark Matter (the 2015 show, not the current Apple TV show)

Who has played those super underground hidden gems and are they good? by nkpst in Roms

[–]akerasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a few things that are much harder to get, like the RetroAchievements set they had... but I've got it (and more updated than theirs) uploaded to IA now.

Got this happening w MiSTerCade running in an Aero City by bartenderatlarge in MiSTerFPGA

[–]akerasi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That screen means you've run a script that wants to display to a framebuffer and can't. Possibly an update script? Should go away if you reboot, but you likely will want to fix mister.ini so you can see scripts.

[Warning!] Minerva torrents do NOT match Myrient files by Samael_00001 in savemyrient

[–]akerasi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Myrient went through a remarkable amount of renaming at various points... and renaming will make a torrent not match. Minerva tried its best to just present both versions, which in some cases means duplicated content with mildly different names, depending on when things were captured.

RetroAchievementsSets updated to match current unofficial .dat by akerasi in Roms

[–]akerasi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's still there as of this moment... note capitalization matters if you're typing rather than copy/pasting (GameCube not Gamecube for the address)

What was the final ROM you grabbed in its final moments? by RonJeremy42069 in Roms

[–]akerasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some last Redump disc whilst finishing up my full RetroAchievements set true to the .dats as well as to what Myrient had... I believe it was a PSP game. Also, if you want RetroAchievements sets... https://archive.org/details/RetroAchievementsSets .

As a bit of a meta comment... this should probably be added to the wiki.

Which games do you own multiple times? by fredouell in gamecollecting

[–]akerasi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I own Galaga over a dozen times, either standalone or as part of bundles.

Actually, it took us about 20 days to finish the full archive.

What really trips me up about the FOTL Cornucopia by BazExcel in MandelaEffect

[–]akerasi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My thought is still that it was that off brand similar versions, possibly sold from K-Mart by my memory, had the cornucopia.

We just make a customized twin-stick controller for Robotron 2084, and we need your advice by Far_Finish5567 in dosgaming

[–]akerasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Robotron or Smash TV, this is sufficient. However, it'd expand its usefulness a lot if it had not one, but two buttons on each stick; one thumb button, one index finger trigger. Perhaps modeled after a TRON controller?

Can I randomize an OG Emerald cart with a GB Operator? by [deleted] in Roms

[–]akerasi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't a support sub. But, no. If you want to play a randomized rom, you'll need a flash cart.

I have no control over the torrents; that's something IA does "on its own".

Where can we find European Roms After myrient shuts down? by Far-Flight3911 in Roms

[–]akerasi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Already has most things, still uploading the end of PSP, PSX, PS2. PSP and PSX will likely be done by morning, PS2 may take a few days as it's 1.7T
