I implemented a circular buffer on the second SH2, allowing me to queue procedures that the second CPU processes one after another without my intervention.
Here it was previously running at 20 FPS. Video recorded on a stock Saturn

Why are 90% of video game "analysis" videos just summarizing the events of the game with some lady jokes peppered in for an hour?

We have started a fundraiser to help our brother & friend Mel (Sega Lord X) & his family.
Mel's sister is battling cancer again, and his mom has gone broke doing all she can to fight it. He did NOT ask us to do this, but we have to help our brother out! ♥

We are looking for new games to try out and possibly review. We would love to meet new developers who are creating video games for platforms such as PlayStation One, Dreamcast, and Sega Saturn, in order to test demos and discover what’s out there in the Indie Retro Games world.

reminder that MasterCard and VISA are very okay with processing payments for guns and bullets, just not a video game where two fictional people fuck.

If you're tired of corporate and all of its abuse, bring clippy as a friendly reminder to fuck off.
Put the sign in their face and make it your profile picture; I'm tired of corporate molesting our rights.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

Tale as old as time:
*Three different names in three regions
*Average review scores
*Early in a system's life when it was starved for RPGs
*Still has lots of people who love it because average games are for normal people 🙂

I’ll leave my 02/13/25 warning right here and say it again. IF you aren’t up to date on ALL vaccines, get them NOW! With Measles still raging, you can add, get titers if you had your MMR in the early 60’s. Not all vaccines had live strains back then.

Newly scanned from us: an ad from the trade magazine Videogame Advisor (November 1995), which has Sega vainly telling retailers not to support PlayStation, right after the PS1 famously undercut the Sega Saturn

Basically the game industry version of "please don't put in the newspaper that I got mad"
