@TheRealZophar why did he put these godawful rings of non-data all over the discs that make it hard to dump at perfect quality frustrating many a redump dumper, while not making it particularly hard to make a mid-quality but working dump?

If you could ask Randy Linden - the man behind such 90s-era emulators and games like "bleem!", "bleemcast!" and SNES Doom - anything for a couple of hours, what would you ask? Asking for a friend.

@nt_xander @RaymanGame @modretro I'm not getting into this discussion with you; it will lead nowhere and I'd rather not have the drama.

@RibShark @RaymanGame @modretro What genocide?

Our friends at @ModRetro are releasing a special Chromatic x Rayman bundle! Check it out over at modretro.com/products/rayman. To celebrate, we're doing a giveaway! Follow us, like and reshare this post to participate and try to win!

@GOGcom As a game modder myself (my Rayman 3 fix was even stickied on the GOG forum), is there any way we can apply to contribute mods to this? I would be more than willing to make changes where needed, I love keeping games alive and thriving with compatibility/modernization mods!

Modding is a huge part of PC gaming history. But for many, it isn’t the easiest thing to do. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce another initiative of ours: GOG One-click Mods – a curated selection of premium mods directly packed with the game for the smoothest installation! 👉 bit.ly/GOG_MODS While mods can breathe new life into games, especially classics, managing them can be daunting: file digging, installation guides, compatibility nightmares, and so on. With GOG One-click Mods, that’s no longer the case. Everything is pre-packed, pre-tested, and ready to go. You click “install”, and then you play. Right now, you can enjoy these absolute legends: - Heroes of Might and Magic III: Horn of the Abyss - DOOM 3: Phobos - Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines: Unofficial Patch - Fallout: London One-click Edition (an even easier way to play this beauty) And one more title joining later this year… Skyblivion! These mods aren’t just tweaks, they’re preservation work – passion projects. One of the reasons classics stay alive, grow stronger, and stay relevant. But enough talking, go try them out right now! 💜

@beast1x5 @trfightstick @brookgamingfans Wingman XE2 doesn't seem to work on Switch 2 for me.

Let’s go! Also just confirmed the @trfightstick octopus does in fact work on the switch 2 while holding 1K Which essentially means all @brookgamingfans products with switch support works on switch 2

@Foulowe59 any updates on this?

@RibShark @hard4games 'Twas recently for sale on eBay for quite a lot('round USD50 or 90-120€ for me where I live...) luckily,̶ ̶I̶ ̶k̶n̶o̶w̶ ̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶d̶r̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶n̶e̶g̶a̶t̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶e̶n̶e̶r̶g̶y̶ w/ some chance it might or might not come close to my house in a lil over 1 night from now on

I got sent a TON of development carts and prototypes to dump! youtu.be/Q39Fpw6zm1g

@Foulowe59 @hard4games ooh nice! please dump it when it arrives; probably matches one of the existing demos but there's no way to know for sure

@Foulowe59 @hard4games if he hasn't done it already I doubt I could convince him but I'll try asking for some details about it (a proto with that date could well contain the scrapped Xowar minigame, for instance)

@RibShark @hard4games Dude, I know this is unrelated, but I had found out drx, of Hidden Palace, apparently has a "rayman 3 preview 11/20" disc proto (among other things - most notably to me a Syphon Filter 1 but I doubt any interesting) in his possession & has been since +3 years at least now already

@Foulowe59 @hard4games ooh, never seen this particular demo before, is it for sale anywhere?

@RibShark @hard4games if you'd like to be the one to finally push him to release it :,) Btw, while I'm at it, do you know anything about this disc, aswell?

(and no, I'm not back on twitter, I'm only posting this specifically for people who haven't migrated to other platforms, which you should)

Other known codes are: "DVD 5051967 MPO 01 @@@@" "505 193 4 00" "Sono press ROM Z-4868/ RAYMANDEU A". If your (European big-box) disc has a different code, particularly if it contains "5051916" (without the "V2") or a lower 7-digit number beginning with "50", please reply!

When cataloguing all the various Rayman releases over the years, I noticed that the earliest copies of the PC version of Rayman 2 have "V2" on the disc ringcode, and often a sticker over the box barcode with the same "V2" serial (with the original on the box lacking the "V2").

Does anyone have the specifications for the Blu-Ray format, specifically "System Description Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Format Part 1" or an equivalent? They don't seem to be public which really sucks and I can't find anyone who shared them anywhere.

apparently the manual for Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 used the wrong image for the wrist strap warning, showing a "condom psa" worded parody instead. lmao tried to find the original source for this but couldn't

and yes this actually happened, my desktop wallpaper got overlaid onto the screen somehow, no idea how this even happened

omg I just got the extremely rare and elusive OneShot Screen of Death (OSOD).

@silverstee1 is there anyone selling these (or the GC2SD/SDGecko equivalents) pre-built at the moment?

and now the WiiSD 2.0 upgrade pcb is done :D github.com/silverstee1/Wi…
