I modded the game files to hide the HUD so we can get a better uninterrupted look at the environment.

It turns out the KVM Hackintosh I prepared in the last video (youtu.be/YJuwKpc_xew) works great for Sonic Dream Team!
I can play with HIGH settings, 1440p and stable 60FPS, WHILE recording with OBS! This upload is just to test video quality.
As you might know Sonic Dream Team is an Apple Arcade exclusive, meaning that it can only be played on modern Apple devices, no Android, no PC, no Consoles. And while I think they will port it eventually, I saw this as an excuse to learn the QEMU/KVM and macOS experience. BTW, I don't think this will work on Windows, since KVM is a Linux thing.
This is a Single GPU Passthrough setup with RX 6600, which means that I have to log out of my host's graphical session to boot into Mac, and I need to SSH into it using my phone.
Apple arcade is supposed to be free for the first month and then βΉ99/month, but Apple scammed me and charged me the full price anyway π π . Later I will see if I can somehow "privateer" the Dream Team executable to launch it without Arcade subscription.
Specs:
Encoder: AppleVT HEVC Hardware, ABR, 25000kbps, Main
CPU: Ryzen 5600
GPU: RX 6600
RAM: 32 GB DDR4 3400
Host OS: Arch Linux (6.1.63-1-lts)
Guest OS: macOS Ventura (12.6), limited to 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU threads.
I spent 3 days just learning this shit to play Sonic Dream Team without an Apple Device.
the things I do to play these mid-ass blue-rat games man (π)...

It's tied with AM2R as my most re-played game of all time, Sonic 3&K (1994) is the most fun 2D Sonic experience in my opinion, possibly matched only by Sonic Mania!
Sonic 3 A.I.R. is a fan remaster of Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Sega Genesis) for modern systems. This remaster brings widescreen, QoL changes, prototype music, and several other tweaks.
I'll try to get all Chaos Emeralds before S&K split, so I can immediately start looking for Super Emeralds as well!

Apparently Super Emeralds aren't cannon, but the way the emeralds turn colorless and we must restore "color" to them, that seems to be similar to Sonic Adventure's ending? Some deep lore....

In the prototype the music doesn't loop properly, and was fixed in AIR.

I didn't swap out the music for the prototype versions as I just couldn't get the same vibe from that versionπ.

Team Sonic is the "Intermediate" difficulty team in Sonic Heroes.
In this episode, I beat the final levels Egg Fleet and Final Fortress, which take place aboard Eggman's airbase. Anyways, I get the last Chaos Emerald and beat the Egg Emperor. Unfortunately getting all 7 chaos emeralds is not enough and beating the game with all 4 teams is mandatory for the final story.
PS: If you notice a weird cut in the boss, it was due to the jank that threw me off just as I was 90% done.

Team Sonic is the "Intermediate" difficulty team in Sonic Heroes.
In this episode, I beat Hang Castle and Mystic Mansion, both of which share a "haunted house" aesthetic. How did the team get from a rainforest to a haunted castle? Is it Michael Jackson samples I hear in the BGM (at 0:40)? Why is the difficulty curve all over the place in this game? All these questions! Anyways, I get the sixth Chaos Emerald and beat Robot Carnival, moving onto the last two stages in the game.

Prime 2D is a fanmade 2D "reimagining" of the first Metroid Prime game. I would say I'm very excited to see how this fangame progresses. The boss fight already has me hyped. Praying that the Nintendo Ninjas don't C&D this to oblivion π.
Seems like the animation bugged out at 10:35. Only 2 things which seem like cons right now. There seems to be no visual cue when secret blocks are broken (I was confused if I had broken something at 25:35, but to be fair I didn't see my missiles go through the branch either). Another downside for me was the lack of controller support, but I don't know how well the aiming system will work with aiming mapped to right stick.

Team Sonic is the "Intermediate" difficulty team in Sonic Heroes.
In this episode, I beat Frog Forest and Lost Jungle, both of which share a similar rainforest theme. I get the fifth Emerald and beat Team Dark. Here you can see how broken the team battles can get, with the rapid formation switching that they did and a very stubborn Shadow. But this also gives us some time to vibe to the theme of Team Dark π§π.

Team Sonic is the "Intermediate" difficulty team in Sonic Heroes.
In this episode, I beat Rail Canyon and Bullet Station, which consist of rails suspended over a bottomless pit. These stages are the most difficult purely because the jank throws you off the rails for no reason, and there is no recovery from that. I get the fourth Emerald and beat Egg Albatross in a VERY LOUD battle. I turned down the volume, otherwise it is quite unbearable, and tried to defeat it quickly. If you couldn't tell already, on PC, this game has terrible audio mixing.

Team Sonic is the "Intermediate" difficulty team in Sonic Heroes.
Easily the most random and frustrating stages in the game, I endure Casino Park and BINGO Highway, and vibe to the music. Anyway, I got the third Emerald and encountered the first enemy gauntlet "Robot Carnival", which went slower than it usually goes. It's been a while since I last played the game fully.

In this episode, I beat Seaside Hill and Ocean Palace, both of which share a similar tropical theme and are analogous to the 2 "Acts" from older Genesis titles. I get the first Emerald and beat the area boss. I'll try to get all 7 emeralds in a single playthrough.

Very long episode, didn't notice the time because I was enjoying a lot XD. We spend most of our time infiltrating the Space Pirates' Research Lab Hydra in Phendrana. In the thumbnail is the FS-176 Solar System (apparently where Zebes and Tallon IV are). I also get the artifact of Elder early so that I don't have to go back through the labs.

Now I see why I wasn't finding anything, ALL good items were in the Distribution Center! After exploring a bit, we can go back to other areas to get crucial items like Speed Booster and regular Bombs. No more softlocks! Next episode we can start hunting all the Metroids.

We fight the remaining 2 major bosses in Chozo Ruins, the Incinirator Drone, and Flaahgra, the plant boss. Coming from the Trilogy version I noticed something off about the boss music. Apparently, due to a glitch, in the original NTSC version, the music for this boss loops only the first third of the music! Check this: youtu.be/JhnrH30411A?t=30. I was anticipating the bit which comes in about 36 seconds in, so it was weird when I never heard it.
Widescreen messed up emulator at 10:40 lmao.
Bit shorter episode this time but I felt reaching Phendrana was good breaking point.

This is my first Hunger Games match in Minecraft. Infact, since it was a casual tournament and open to all, it was the first time some participants were even playing Minecraft!
Unfortunately, I got disconnected at the end, but otherwise it was really fun!

Very disappointing run today, didn't find any cool item and got pelted by the Torizo Core-X. I took a break at few points so there might be awkward jump cuts at save stations. Next episode I'll explore the The Tower to see if I can find better powerups.

This is my first time playing the NTSC - 1.0 version of the game, which apparently has slightly different lorebits than the PAL versions and Wii Trilogy version, which I have played. So, I'll be scanning lore points and such.
I also learnt a few speed-tricks because I wanted to beat the game once quickly to pre-load all the shaders π. I won't be using any skips, except getting the Space Jump Early because it's just such a useful movement item, and I don't like heavy backtracking.

AM2R has three types of built-in randomizers, I'm not sure what exactly the difference is so I went with what I always pick, AM2Random.
I get space jump early, leave Golden Temple with a Power Bomb and Super Missile, but NO BOMBS! You need to manage PBs well if you don't have regular bombs. Don't be reckless like me!

Here I go fast through Hill Top Zone, the 2nd out of the 4 stages available, as it seems to be their signature stage judging by its advertisement.
Reminds me a lot of Sonic Utopia (another fangame from SAGE 2018)!

Omega Metroids are really a joke even on Fusion difficulty lmao.
PS : So I found out that the Extreme Lab Metroids setting is not tied to a file but to the entire game, so I could've switched it off at any time... well.
