Random yet fun stuff that are interesting to me that I can't put into a catogory
"It looks great on my old 90's CRT" type of stuff too.
----------------------------------------------
Here I am testing out the new free file repository service by posting a video.
THE video might have AN ugly aspect ratio and black borders,
due to having to compressed the original video,
I'm sorry, the service only allows up to 200mb but it's a sub 300p game
(I also ended up using windows movie maker
because adobe Premiere was being a vinager sniffer not exporting properly
and I've already spent an hour or two on this stoopid project. so here wii are!)
so at lease it's enough to display all of this glitchery
and a cacophony of a late 80's Casio keyboard having an aneurysm
every time it tries to simulate a bag pipe.
The color palette is that of a broken ps1's gpu getting an organ transplant of it's texture
processing-addresses from an 80's c64 computer
whom also had a generous donation from a zx spectrum computer that
has more eye crunching pallets, every time that the textures are not loaded in
they are replaced with high contrasted colors and garbage pixels.
And the video above shows the results.
Looooovely pitch processing going on
where everyone is on the verge of overdosing on helium.
I feel like my burned CD gave my ps1 just enough readable data to load the engine
then all hope is lost when anything of artistic and musical value was loaded in because
it went to a modern arts college in Paris.
at lease the cars was loaded in 80% fine except for some of the wheels.
The funny thing is that if I use a 2000s era CD-R it loads perfectly,
and after I looked around the internet I have found out indeed that
the ps1 does not play nicely with modern cds so do go on the hunt for those retro cd-r’s.
at your local thrift stores with all that luxurious sticky unsanitary goodness
so you too can play “backups” on your ps1 with that freepsxboot unirom goodness,
Without the stench of the computer science equivalent
of puke and the stomach flu.
Mario 64, can be such a pretty sight.
The game really affected the taste in art and music I currently have.
The Corny yet melodic and fun music and the jumpy happy A e S t H eT i C s
and colors really can give SSRIs a run
for their money. This angle is one of the best sights I've ever seen in the game.
so much so that I've tried making it a background for
one of my handheld computers that I use to browse the net and listen to tunes.
I'm a big fan of looking at the scale, scope and arciteture of a level and
this view gives you a good chunk of a idea of what this level is all about,
such a fun sight seeing how chaotic and fun the level has for you, and how busy it can get too.
An Amiga demo, with MECHA PANDA!!!!
(I forgot the demo's name but it's just a weird panda icon that floats
around a bit
I snapped this in time to make it look like it's attatching to the mech bot ready to blow
a set of polygons to bits...)
CRT shenanigans and CDI emulation
Sorry for the darkness, but hey, atlease there's some neat looking glows!
Here are some pictures of me messing around with a
PC hooked up via an A/V to HDMI converter with a modern OS
displaying on a CRT,sadly you need a older GPU to scale things propperly
so overscaning isn't such a bore, but eh,
it was fun and I got another semi modern PC hook up
that scales nicely to a CRT in another room for retro
gaming purposes.
(The bottom screen is my living room style Crt and the top is a boring
flatscreen used to watch Online videos about the Philips CDI.)
Hey were you reading my mind inside of those funny ()'s??
Ah, speaking of the Philips CDI...
I was able to get a working philips CDI emulator to work through Mame. Let me tell you... It was a pain.
the system is not much stronger than a snes
(Most of the tech though was just aimed for video processing and CD music,I feel like the gpu was a second thought due to it being more geared towards
a media device but eh,
atlease we got corny zelda memes that aged like fine wine and cheesey puns.) Even with all the pains,
atlease I was able to try out the CDI...
I was even able to use a 2001 "Duke" xbox controller to play some Tetris
(CDI style that is!!!) with all that Yani inspired 90's easy listening glory!!
and half hazardly made lego art.
makes the room a slight 7% more hotel atrium with indoor streaming water fishpound vibe.
More To Come and many More to do in the world of Maru!
