The @8BitDo keyboard is pretty much perfect... Except I'm so used to Blue switches and had to swap them out for some Gateron G Pro 3.0s. Attached are photos of how it sounds before and after. Let me know what you think!

Static recompilation isn't a magic answer to performance. Any PS2 emulator with dynarec/codegen that has a layer of emitter optimization can perform on par, or better, than whatever IR (even C/C++ in this case) that you're targeting with static recompilation. Static recompilation is still emulation. It's just trading runtime IR for compile-time IR.

@Sad_Origami This is faster than emulation and more like a native build in practice. The final goal is to run PS2 games on PC and possibly other platforms but just mapping instructions 1:1 isn't gonna achieve it but it's a start. N64 Recomp project seems more mature, so you can look that up.

Shadow of the Colossus keeps getting mentioned because of PS2Recomp, a project aiming to recompile PS2 games so they run natively on PC. I’ve got lots of questions since I don’t know much about it. If anyone can shed some light, I’d really appreciate it!

🎶 This isn't something I've talked about before, but did you know that Stellar Plus has an integrated speaker? Good UX doesn't end at a pretty UI. 😉

Did you know that the small pocket in your jeans is meant to hold your GC10 Solder Paste? Check to see if you have any in there, and if you're short on some, you can order from me at BuyGC10.com. I buy directly from the factory. GC10 Solder Paste is available and in stock at BuyGC10.com! Buy now for the best deals. 0.600 kg tubes. Right now I'm selling three tubes for only $500. What a deal! #BuyGC10

WTF? Seems @PCBWayOfficial no longer have a card payment option (despite still showing it on their order page)- bank transfer or Payoneer only. Considering what they spend on YT sponsorships, seems pretty suicidal for international business. @jlcpcb still works just fine.

Quick medical update. I wanted to make this really quicky since I will be offline for the next few days as I recover. Unfortunately, this will affect MakeMHz timelines since the Chinese New Years is so close. I will make an official update in a couple of days to address this. --- On the 22nd; I noticed I had a pilonidal cyst that had returned. I had hoped that I could manage until I could see my primary care doctor at the first of the year. By Thursday, the 25th, the pain was so severe that I could no longer sit. So I went to urgent care. There they surgically drained the abyss and gave me a prescription for the infection and sent me home. Friday and Saturday were spent sleeping. I had a fever that kept coming and going, whole body pains, etc. It was very rough but I chalked it up to the antibiotics needing time to do their job. By Sunday the fevers had mostly stopped but I was increasingly having pain all across the lower half of my body. Yesterday I woke up in so much pain that I could no longer sit, stand, or lay down without being in extreme pain. I spent the day in the ER having blood work, CT scans, ultrasounds, etc done. After 10 hours in the ER, it was determined that I was having an adverse reaction to the antibiotics, causing swelling and pain in other parts of my body. In addition, the infection had gotten far worse. They drained the cyst again and sent me home with different antibiotics and pain medication. Hopefully this time everything will get better, but I will need at least a few days of rest before I can do anything.

I'm still feeling a bit under the weather.🤒 But even so, I'm happily working on the final touches of Stellar Plus from bed!

Something about having real HTTPS/SSL working on the original Xbox just hits different 🔥 This is part of the revamped Stellar firmware 2.x.x update system. And with Stellar Plus, updates now work entirely over Wi-Fi. No Ethernet required.

Starting with Stellar 2.x, users with 1.0 systems can freely omit the USB daughterboard. Is this required? Probably not. Is it helpful? Slightly. You might see faster transfers between USB devices, though that's an uncommon scenario in the Xbox ecosystem. If your system has a damaged or missing daughterboard, this is now an easy and inexpensive fix.

So why did Microsoft use an internal hub on early systems? The most likely explanation now is improved ESD protection plus better serviceability. If a front USB port damaged the system, it was cheaper to replace a small daughterboard instead of replacing a BGA south bridge. Starting with revision 1.2, Microsoft added stronger onboard ESD protection, which removed the need for the daughterboard.

Time to bust another Xbox myth! 🧵 For years it’s been rumored that the launch revision Xbox (1.0) used an internal USB hub on a daughterboard because of a hardware bug in the MCPX south bridge. After extensive testing, we can confirm that this is not true.
