プレイステーションでドリームキャストのゲームを動かした、伝説の『bleemcast!』というエミュレーター。 実はこの「bleemcast!」の開発に『セガが秘密裏に協力』事を、制作者がインタビューでサラッと告白し激震が走っている。 bleem!は1999年に米bleem! Companyが開発したPC用PlayStationエミュレーター。 当時は商用として販売されるエミュレーターは極めて珍しく、PC上でPS1ゲームをプレイできる画期的なソフトであった為に、このソフトは世界中でバカ売れした。 更にDreamcast向けに移植された「bleemcast!」では、PS1タイトルをセガの家庭用機で実行可能にした事は記憶に新しいが、もうこれも26年前の話。 その制作者がインタビュー動画で、セガとの興味深い関わりを告白した。 開発者Randy Linden氏によると、セガ社は公式支援こそしていないものの、開発キットや技術資料、MIL‑CDの存在など技術面で裏方支援を行っていたのだそう。 これによりセガ社は法的リスクを避けつつも、DreamcastでPS1ゲームを動かすことに一定の期待を持っていたことがわかる。 技術的なポイントはDreamcastのMIL‑CDフォーマット。 通常のGD-ROMとは異なるCD形式でソフトを起動できる仕様で、bleemcastはこの『抜け道”』を巧みに利用し、「Dreamcast上でPS1ゲームを動作」させる事に成功。 世界中の電脳キッズと、ゲーム業界を震撼させる事となる。 だがその結果、bleem!社はSonyから訴えられて法廷闘争に。 bleem!社は多数の訴訟により資金を消耗し、2001年には事業を停止。 ソニックがbleem!の墓の前で花をもって泣いている姿を覚えている人は多いであろうし、セガからのバックアップがあった上で「bleemcast!」が作られていたのであれば、これは非常に納得のいく話ではある。(添付画像がそれ) そして長年の謎が解けたのが、25年後である今なのだ。 URL(制作者のインタビュー動画) https://t.co/gkSJajSoPy

No more public access in the Barry Morphew case, and I'm going to need some help identifying who's the biggest asshole here. Background: Colorado generally allows the public to watch court proceedings, but they also prohibit recording and rebroadcasting their feed. JLR Investigates restreamed one of the hearings anyway. According to this report, the judge signed an order yesterday revoking public access because the YouTubers are threatening Mr. Morphew's right to a fair trial with their venomous commentary. There will still be a stream of the court hearings made available to credentialed members of the media. To get a media credential in Colorado, you generally have to show some sort of connection to a legacy media organization. Who's the biggest asshole? The judge for punishing all YouTubers and the entire viewing public because JLR sucks, JLR for sucking, or the media for enjoying their sinecure and doing nothing to represent the public's interest in seeing the hearings for themselves?

Jane Byrialsen has entered the chat, apparently once again joining Barry Morphew's defense team. She was involved in Barry's defense in the first case, as well as his civil suit. She dropped this absolute gem after Suzanne's autopsy results were revealed: "Barry Morphew is innocent and he could not have killed his wife," said Jane Fisher-Byrialsen, one of Barry's attorneys, at the time. "She got up the morning of Mother's Day, had her cup of coffee, that is now confirmed with the autopsy report. Also confirmed with the autopsy report is that she put on her bike clothes. She was on a bike ride and abducted. "The tranquilizer that was found in her bones, allegedly, is a very common animal tranquilizer that could be used on farms or by hunters, which are people who are very prevalent in that area of Salida," Fisher-Byrialsen said. An autopsy report cannot "confirm" she put on her bike clothes (we now know the bike clothes were likely added when Suzanne's body was moved). Suzanne should have coffee in her system under the state theory of the crime (assuming this is even true). And no, BAM is not "very common." Barry was the only private citizen in the area who had a prescription for it, and hunters don't shoot animals with tranquilizers. They fucking shoot them with bullets. #barryMorphew #suzanneMorphew https://t.co/xyXTmNEiA3
