@Mathieulh @retrotink2 I would like to interject for a moment. What you call 2K is in fact 2.5K, or if you'd like to round it, 3K. 2K is 2048x1080, not 2560x1440.

@Akina6128 @collingall @MARlOMASTA64 @webhdx That's not how computers work.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@webhdx @collingall The memory controller has a fixed configuration on Flipper HW3. The only thing you can change is skipping the mode register setting on the SDRAM, which is what BS1 does.

After years of struggling with technical problems and an absentee sysadmin, today the Redump game disc preservation project has moved to a brand new site, along with all 132,000 catalog entries: https://t.co/PvtXk0UsA1

Congrats to the community & looking forward to the future!

@W00fer @PixelFXco @retrotink2 Well, this is a full HD scaler. 2K is 2048 pixels wide.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@W00fer @PixelFXco @retrotink2 Wow! They're... the price of the cheapest new 1920x1200 monitor you can buy? Which is only twice the price of 1920x1080?

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@W00fer @PixelFXco @retrotink2 You would notice the difference between 1920x1080 and 3840x2160 on a 24" monitor at typical PC monitor viewing distances.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@W00fer @PixelFXco The size of the screen alone isn't relevant. You need to factor in the viewing distance.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@W00fer @PixelFXco 1K would be 1024 pixels wide.

@RobertDaleSmith This is fully supported in Game Boy Interface and Enhanced mGBA.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@sdmasteryoda @RetroRGB It works just fine with the recommended Realtek Gigabit Ethernet adapters.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@NESturbator @cloutiker @RetroRGB The speed with the default configuration is greater than the older passive-type SD card adapters, and equivalent to the newer semi-passive SD card adapters if you can use baby jumbo frames.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@RetroRGB You could've plugged it back in after and be shocked to see that it recovers, if you're quick enough.

Cube game on GameCube is now released as indev v0.1!
This release includes a new texture pack (shoutout to Pixel Brush!), and there's also support for switching textures, so if you want to use Minecraft assets, you can. You'll just need to bring your own copy.
This is indev v0.1 (Nov 2024), a snapshot of the project at that stage. I'm currently working on re-porting the latest 2026 build to the GameCube, which includes improvements not seen here.

@JnL_SSBM @emu_kidid If you want any faster GameCube dumps than on a GameCube or a Wii, look into OmniDrive: https://t.co/aVpa8iCdrj

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@JnL_SSBM @emu_kidid 1) It's not possible to use the FlippyDrive and the disc drive at the same time. Their dumper alternates between them with a large buffer, and a full reset is involved for each read.
2) SD Gecko and SD2SP2 are already fast enough to not be a bottleneck for 95% of the dump.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@collingall @CattManii It is supported by PicoBoot.

[Extrems (@[email protected]) @Extrems]

@topvint @jiiiiV The DVD device won't show up. I'm not sure how this edge case can be addressed currently.
