Thanks for sharing! I managed to get this to work with the even cheaper Sony PCGA-DVD51 DVD drive that the readme mentions.

I was there too! Loved seeing the 9x BSOD again.

Were you also watching MeTV Toons? As soon as I heard that theme, I immediately turned it off.

コインいっこいれる！

I was originally excited about ATSC 3.0, even provided valuable feedback to station engineers with incorrect implementations... until DRM forced me to revert to 1.0, which is unusable during severe weather. So thanks DRM, no one will be pirating your life saving information. 💀

I remember playing this at Jillian's.

It’s good knowing someone else tried similar steps, I was maybe heading in the right direction. Before the disassembly I didn’t get anywhere, so thank you for that. Displaced Gamers’ YouTube series dealing with these issues helped me understand more, so I should revisit it.

I kind of remember that almost worked changing this. Slow frame rate, but it wasn’t stable. It kept crashing. I would’ve been happy if it was slow but stable, then I could look for any optimizations. But again, I don’t know what I’m doing.

That is exactly was what I was trying to figure out myself, but maybe I didn’t go low enough. If the viewport could be shrunk, that would have been my other hope for optimization. Storing some kind of optimized math routines in ROM would be my next guess, but also beyond my abilities.

Oh lol, I already took a stab at it with your documented version, but I had no idea what I was doing. I’m impressed you got it to work at all on NTSC, and would love to just try the terrible frame rate version on my NES (and see what changes you made!). At least it wouldn’t look all glitchy.

Hey, the NES version is 6502, right? Bonus points if you get it to work on NTSC, it thinks too hard during VBlank.

is it this?
