DeleteMe international Plans: international.joindeleteme.com 🙌Mario Kart 64 is one of the very best games on the Nintendo 64, and its franchise needs no introduction - it's one of the most successful Nintendo franchises in history. However, the series has been long criticized for its use of 'Rubber Banding AI' - a game design technique that's applied to keep each race competitive. This also applies to Mario Kart 64. From disabling collisions, to invisible roads and reacting differently to items while off camera, the game simply cheats to try and beat you in every single race. In today's episode we explore the MANY different ways Mario Kart 64 cheats against you.Sources/Links:MK64 Decompilation Project - github.com/n64decomp/mk64MK64 Fly Cam Mod - gamebanana.com/mods/472638TimeStamps:00:00 - 02:31 : Intro02:32 - 04:24 : Sponsor04:25 - 12:21 : The Mario Kart 64 Cheating AI

Finally! Xbox One Emulation is here Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-09-30 | Earlier this year the first known public exploit for the Xbox One was released. Known as 'Collateral Damage' this exploit allowed for, the very first time, games to be decrypted and dumped. This has led to development of an emulation or a translation layer to be developed that can run Xbox One games on a Windows 10 or 11 PC. In today's episode we take a look at XWine1 the first Xbox One translation layer in development for Windows, however this is not the only one in development. We discuss what's been happening in the Xbox One hacking scene, dumping games, translation layers and much more!Sources:youtube.com/watch?v=k-2WsNho7EUyoutube.com/watch?v=EK41EWEmIJEhttps://x.com/XWineOne/status/1832740078658974168github.com/exploits-forsale/collateral-damagegithub.com/WinDurango-project/WinDurangoTimestamps:00:00 - 02:07 - Xbox One exploit02:08 - 10:30 - XWine1 - Xbox One translation layer for PC10:31 - 12:32 - ConclusionSocial Media Links :► X : https://x.com/ModernVintageG► Threads : threads.net/ModernVintageGamer► Facebook : facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer► IG : instagram.com/modernvintagegamer► BandCamp : modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com#xboxone #xwine1
How Pilotwings 64 on the N64 Revolutionized 3D Gaming Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-09-23 | Use Proton Mail to DE-GOOGLE YOUR LIFE: go.getproton.me/SH1AhIn the 80s, early flight simulators were limited to what they could achieve. On consoles like the NES, it was nearly impossible to provide a sense of realism and immersion that you could only find in home computers like the PC and Amiga. However, in 1996 - Nintendo released Pilotwings 64 - a North American launch title for the Nintendo 64, and one that was developed alongside experts in military flight simulation 3d technology - Paradigm Simulation. The result was a technically brilliant realistic flight simulation engine that's wrapped up in a fun and whacky Nintendo game. Pilotwings 64 defined what was possible with 3d on the Nintendo 64 and could sit right alongside PC flight simulators in terms of its graphics and technology in the mid 90s.

DeleteMe international Plans: international.joindeleteme.com 🙌Due to the limitations of home computers and game consoles, for years true 3d rendering was mostly out of reach for developers. However, by applying an isometric projection, a fake or pseudo 3D effect can provide a 3d like experience to the game. Isometric views in video games have existed around in video games since the early 80s. And during the late 90s, PC resolutions were large enough and CPUs were becoming powerful enough where developers could pre-render 3d models and combine them with an isometric view to produce beautifully realistic looking environments. In todays episode we deep dive into the world of Isometric graphics in video games.Timestamps:00:00 - 01:58 - Introduction to Isometric video games01:59 - 03:56 - Sponsor03:58 - 19:41 - Isometric video games over the years19:41 - 20:01 - OutroSocial Media Links :► X : https://x.com/ModernVintageG► Threads : threads.net/ModernVintageGamer► Facebook : facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer► IG : instagram.com/modernvintagegamer► BandCamp : modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com#Isometric #retrogaming

DeleteMe international Plans: international.joindeleteme.com 🙌In 1993 a revolutionary next generation fighting game idea was born. It was set to raise the bar of what a next generation graphics would be. The fighting game would feature prerendered 3d robots in front of 3d rendered backgrounds all rendered in 3D Studio with 'hundreds' of animation frames. That game was Rise of the Robots and released on almost every major computer and console platform at the time. The media hyped up the game so much and when it arrived it was a disaster. Here is the story of how Rise of the Robots went from a unique idea to one of the worst games ever released and how the video game media lied to its readers.Sources/Credits:youtube.com/watch?v=b546GLPTodYyoutube.com/watch?v=omyoJ7onNrgyoutube.com/watch?v=lqHXaWoCuAYyoutube.com/watch?v=FcMRkyoHKeAyoutube.com/watch?v=v0ttgGe-RRsyoutube.com/watch?v=Nt4AztZ5UDsyoutube.com/watch?v=9j1ULagIEh0archive.org/details/EDGE.The.100.most.significant.reviews.2001/page/8/mode/1uparchive.org/details/NEXT_Generation_40/page/n41/mode/1upRise of the Robots SNES OST Composer: Richard JosephTimestamps:00:00 - 03:37 Introduction 03:38 - 05:51 Sponsor05:52 - 08:19 Formation of Mirage08:20 - 09:40 The Bitmap Brothers09:41 - 14:24 The Development team14:25 - 21:28 Marketing hype21:29 - 29:34 Release of the Game and ports29:35 - 31:04 What went wrong/Retrospective31:04 - 32:16 Rise 2: Resurrection32:17 - 34:26 ConclusionSocial Media Links :► X : https://x.com/ModernVintageG► Threads : threads.net/ModernVintageGamer► Facebook : facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer► IG : instagram.com/modernvintagegamer► BandCamp : modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com#ROTR #BrianMay

PlayStation 4 Emulation on the PC has hit a huge milestone Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-08-05 | PlayStation 4 emulation has been on fire lately with the emergence of a new emulator ShadPS4 which is capable of getting in game with 3d rendering. This has been a milestone that other PS4 emulators have been unable to achieve up until now. ShadPS4 can get in game and render 3D with games such as Red Dead Redemption, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered and more! And then there is Bloodborne - a game I never imagined would even boot and display the main menu, but it does, and this is a very exciting time for PS4 emulation in general. And we will be covering it all in today's episode.

What happened to Windows CE on the SEGA Dreamcast? Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-07-22 | Leading up to the launch of the Sega Dreamcast, in 1998 Microsoft and Sega announced that the up-and-coming Dreamcast would use Windows CE - an embedded version of the Windows Operating system for smaller portable devices. However, when the Dreamcast launched, all 18 titles did not use Windows CE at all. This was a very strange pivot, and many wondered what had occurred. In today's episode we take a closer look at Windows CE on the Dreamcast and what ultimately led to its decision to make it available only as a secondary option for developers to use.Sources :► news.microsoft.com/1999/03/16/microsoft-announces-windows-ce-toolkit-for-dreamcast► segaretro.org/Windows_CE► wired.com/story/why-i-still-play-dreamcast► cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/windows-ce-notably-absent-from-dreamcast-launch► 30pin.com/features/windows-ce-history► youtube.com/watch?v=Cp8EyqaI204&t=406sTimestamps:00:00 - 03:37 - Introduction to Windows CE03:37 - 08:46 - Misconceptions of Windows CE on the Dreamcast08:47 - 10:09 - Conclusion/Outro Social Media Links :► X : https://x.com/ModernVintageG► Threads : threads.net/ModernVintageGamer► Facebook : facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer► IG : instagram.com/modernvintagegamer► BandCamp : modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com#Dreamcast #WinCE

The Xbox Series S is STILL an Emulation Beast - New Updates! Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-07-08 | 3 years ago I covered the Xbox Series S and how its an emulation beast. But in recent times the Xbox Emulation and Homebrew community (running under devmode on the Xbox) took a hit in 2023 when Microsoft blocked unsupported UWP apps from running in retail mode. It all seemed like the community had abandoned the platform and moved on. However, in reality the community never left, its stronger than ever with new updates and emulators that have opened up the floodgates. Even in 2024 - for $299 the Xbox Series S is a series contender alongside any Mini PC on the market as the best value for money you can buy that can support emulators all the way up to Xbox 360 with impressive performance. In today's episode we take a look at the all-new advancements in the scene and why I'm excited about the future of UWP Apps on Devmode. ► XboxDev Store (Xbox UWP downloads) - https://xboxdev.store/► Buy Xbox Series S on Amazon (Affiliate Link) - amzn.to/3XPIbIDTimestamps:00:00 - 02:20 - Introduction to Xbox Developer Mode02:21 - 05:23 - Existing Xbox UWP emulator compatibility05:24 - 06:28 - Mesa Library UWP Port/Doom 3 UWP Port06:24 - 09:01 - Supermodel (Sega Model 3) UWP Emulator09:02 - 10:00 - Jedi Knight Dark Forces II UWP Port10:01 - 11:30 - XboxDev Store11:31 - 12:47 - Conclusion/Outro Social Media Links :► X : https://x.com/ModernVintageG► Threads : threads.net/ModernVintageGamer► Facebook : facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer► IG : instagram.com/modernvintagegamer► BandCamp : modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com#Xbox #DevMode
What was the Hard Drive in the Original Xbox actually used for? Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-06-24 | The Original Xbox launched in 2001 and it brought a few innovations never seen before to the video game console industry. The first would be a built-in hard drive that was not an optional add-on, rather it was a core component of the Xbox hardware. But did the hard drive provide any benefit other than large storage capacity for save games and custom soundtracks? In today's episode we take a closer look at the Xbox hard drive feature and how developers took advantage of it in different ways. Was it really necessary in the end?

Nintendo is erasing its history - The war against ROMS Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-06-10 | 🔒Remove your personal information from the web at https://JoinDeleteMe.com/MVG and use code MVG for 20% off. DeleteMe international Plans: international.joindeleteme.com 🙌The recent DMCA takedown notice from the ESA on popular rom sharing site VIMMS Lair is another blow to the preservation community. Nintendo believes ROM sites are haven for illegal activity, copyright infringement, and piracy and they have a history of taking down sites in the past including LoveROMs, Rom Universe and more. Can Nintendo be trusted to do it themselves? The Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) service is a fraction of the size of the Virtual Console and its unlikely it will ever exceed it. It's my view that Nintendo is effectively erasing their own history as more games are lost to time.

Was the PS2 Emotion Engine over hyped? Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-06-03 | Sony launched the PlayStation PS2 in 2000 to massive hype and promises. One promise was the brand-new Emotion Engine ( EE ) , the main SoC that powered the PS2. Developed in conjunction with Sony and Toshiba. It was the next generation of processor after the PS1. But the Emotion Engine was more than just a CPU. It housed other additional co-processors known as Vector Units and also came with powerful DMA Controller that could move data around the bus very quickly. However, was this all worth it? The Xbox, GameCube and in some scenarios, Dreamcast showed off many games that easily match the power and performance of the PS2 and in many cases, exceeded it. In today's episode we deep dive and take a closer look at the Emotion Engine and its use cases. After a slow start, developers got the very best from the chip and developed some unique and interesting post processing effects that really showed off the power of the PlayStation 2 hardware.

Doom didnt kill the Amiga...Wolfenstein 3D did Modern Vintage Gamer 2024-05-13 | Wolfenstein 3D released by id Software in 1992 brought in a change to video games. 2D games were no longer cool and texture mapped 3d rendered games were taking over. However, the ray casting technology presented a challenge if you owned an Amiga computer - it simply wasn't capable of running Wolfenstein 3d and in many ways Wolfenstein 3d can be seen as a major milestone that determined the fate of the Commodore Amiga that went bankrupt in 1994. In this episode we take a closer look at the Amiga and its many FPS clones that attempted to emulate the technology and success of Wolfenstein 3D, but ultimately led to the demise of Commodore.Credits/Sources:► youtube.com/watch?v=sFZqiSB8qH8&t=1935s► youtube.com/watch?v=doD7hmlKun8► youtube.com/watch?v=NBJOG2nfYVU► aminet.net/package/game/shoot/wolf4amiga► groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.amiga.games/c/MZb9cC0FMhwTimeStamps:00:00 - 02:18 - The Amiga in 199202:19 - 05:03 - Wolfenstein 3D and Mode 13h05:04 - 07:17 - Why the Amiga struggled to run Wolfenstein07:18 - 12:38 - Wolfenstein Clones on the Amiga12:40 - 14:18 - Doom Source Code releases.
