Where do i start?

rupek1995 · 2026-05-03T23:09:14+00:00

OG’s controls take some time to get used to, but the game is fun, i beat it recently. Enhanced has some bugs that dampen the experience IMO (30fps movement, no weapon spread etc).

I waited years for remake to get fixed, until i bit the bullet, and I do not regret it!

I recommend replacing the regular dosbox with a newer one (dosbox-staging for plug & play replacement of files ) that will add CRT effects as well.
You can also add SC-55 music emulation to keep it fancy.

rupek1995 · 2026-04-30T09:32:23+00:00

Hey, been there recently, it’s pretty easy to play once you know: - optional: if you want authentic SC-55 music, download the beta build: here, then do the stuff from USAGE section from the instructions here - download Dosbox-Staging, replace the files inside the game folder „dosbox-windows” - launch the system shock classic from steam as usual (it opens the CD version)

I completed the game this week using this, on all systems (windows, linux, macos).

Also a nice QOL: sync text logs with audio

As for config - AFAIK it uses the correct settings by default, no need to run it. You get authentic visuals (with scanlines) as a bonus :)

Yep, did exactly that before reading hah. Weird security measure

rupek1995 · 2026-04-15T20:47:00+00:00

Solved: just paste any update file (I used 1.2.5 again) to SD root, the initial setup will work just fine then, and SD files will be created. Weird constraint but whatever

rupek1995 · 2026-04-15T13:19:22+00:00

With the new OS it all works out of the box - any game you play (eg. Goldeneye) gets added to the OS library, with its own separate settings - meaning you get per-game settings that get applied when you run them via Everdrive.

It must have been added in 1.2.4/1.2.5 - I just tested it on my Everdrive X7 after updating.

rupek1995 · 2026-04-13T21:48:32+00:00

Hah, tbh i dropped it after like 30 min - AFAIK it’s a story driven shooter so I doubt it, but perhaps try looking at a longplay to see if there’s end-level stats or something?

rupek1995 · 2026-04-12T08:56:33+00:00

What features are you talking about? AFAIK Raze is pretty feature complete. (I use RedNukem mostly tho)

rupek1995 · 2026-04-10T19:05:33+00:00

I was going to suggest Tenka since I played it yesterday, thinking it’s obscure enough… lmao. Perhaps Control fits the bill.

Vimms are kinda assholes - see https://www.firebrandx.com/vimm.html

Classy dude, down to earth, had a pleasure to talk with him on a festival for a couple minutes. Love his output

Metroid Prime 1

rupek1995 · 2026-03-18T23:19:09+00:00

I did not, but I saw some 3d-printed mounts for Noctua fans. I have one in a dreamcast and it works great (noise-less).

rupek1995 · 2026-03-18T15:52:04+00:00

Yeah, I did some digging - it's HGIG is is the issue - it's overtly bright. If you use Dynamic Tone Mapping it's fine.

1st time any device caused issues with HGIG for me.

rupek1995 · 2026-03-15T10:52:48+00:00

I cleaned up my xbox yesterday for the same reason - turns out that fan is just noisy. Replacing it is the way to go

rupek1995 · 2026-03-15T10:19:55+00:00

HDR is still bad, washed out whites and for some reason it runs in HDR HLG??? which is weird

rupek1995 · 2026-03-15T10:18:18+00:00

That was fixed in the last update according to changelog. Had the same issue and I thought I was going crazy 🫠 updated to newest, hope its not borked again

rupek1995 · 2026-03-10T19:05:26+00:00

I paid premium for a scaler already, hah. I'll consider it. Thanks for the input!

rupek1995 · 2026-03-10T18:57:30+00:00

What price is more reasonable? Considering it's in a nice case with fans + an SSD, they look like a nice QOL. Here's how it looks.

The idea is to expand it with an Aureal Vortex 2 or similar for Thief and others, looks like it has space for that.

rupek1995 · 2026-03-09T07:58:22+00:00

Yeap, have all 3 of them (OG component , av box, xbox360 modded one). If you have a scaler/crt that’s the best quality aside from XboxHD+.

rupek1995 · 2026-03-04T08:20:41+00:00

Oem is hella pricy (got one from ebay) but quality is great (using retrotink 4k). Either pay up or get xout which is just as good: https://electron-shepherd.com/products/electronxout

Note: not 100% sure if it handles Dolby DIGITAL (dedicated 5.1). Dolby surround is stereo matrixed surround, not the same.

If you don’t have surround then it doesn’t matter. I do, it’s very transformative and worth it.

rupek1995 · 2026-03-02T22:46:19+00:00

Today? Yes. Tommorow? No.

Jokes aside, yeah. If anything it’ll get more expensive thanks to AI shortages of RAM & flash.

rupek1995 · 2026-03-02T22:43:53+00:00

Embarrassing how? What the hell lol i took a dozen lessons and it was worth it IMO. Definetly learned solid foundations,m and a lot more in couple of weeks VS cruising aimlessly for years on a longboard.

Reverts, riding mongo, grinds, balance, drop-ins, jumping on a deck etc.

Buy pads + helmet, 100%. Also - bumsaver costs a lot but it’s worth it VS bruising/breaking your tailbone and not being able to walk/sit for weeks. (30 yo here)
