Hey Bob, I recently tried this one for Genlock and 240p/480i with the RT4K:
a.aliexpress.com/_EIVlrzW - it has two inputs and audio extraction, maybe this is something you want to test for your channel? Seems to be available from plenty of sellers, too.

Made a small change to the Neo Geo Diagnostic BIOS to add an option with a white screen for gain calibration and published it here: github.com/herrkuhn/neo... - Here's how I modified my NeoBiosMasta to switch four different BIOS, including this: imgur.com/a/2YZtwCb

No-Intro does preserve some of this information in their database, I recently built an importer for their dump format : bsky.app/profile/nrq....

That is far up on my list, too. :) Got a Kingwon KW-SC3000A recently, which might be related to Bung Dr PC Jr, which is said to be a Game Master with integrated Famiclone.... CD drive isn't working, but it does load Bung software. youtu.be/yxkKXvVmBCA

I just had to look up the name for a group of whales. A group of whales is called a pod. And I see a whole pod of white whales here.

This makes some pretty neat data analysis possible. ๐Ÿ˜

Great, thanks! Found that table at 0xFC00. Also experimented a bit. A ROM with "SUPER MARIOWORLD" in its header always gets the "AUTO PASSWORD" dialog. Super Mario World with an edited title doesn't get that dialog, so I guess it's safe to assume it's header-based.

I also grep'ed through various Pro Fighter BIOS images I have on my HDD and the list of games seems to be identical from Pro Fighter X to FX-64.

You're traversing 0x00 entries and connect them to each game entry that's 16 chars long, is that it? Codes are divided by 0x0A? Anything else?

25.12.2025 20:19 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Seeing the exact same list of games starting at 0xC000 in my Pro Fighter X2 V.G3 dump. Gold Finger Codes start at 0xD5E0 and start by with a leading 0x00? How do you connect game and Gold Finger code?

Interesting! I wonder if there is space for more? Did you find out how a game is being recognized?

Yes, these are quite cool. Anthrox made a homebrew for the Super Wild Card to use these to flash Super Smart Cards.

Super Smart Cards weren't battery backed, unfortunately. I made a few pictures for the bird site a while ago: nitter.net/herrkuhn/sta... There also was a parallel port adapter available for these.

Could be an alternative name, could be a clone company. OG Pro Fighter has so many clones, the design sure came around, wouldn't be surprised if PFX has been cloned, too.

That would be the right way to license all media, in my opinion. Since music isn't licensed exclusively, streaming services need to compete on service quality, and it doesn't matter where I'm subscribed. But that makes too much sense for the customer, I suppose.

I've been using Apple Music on Android for seven years now, with my whole family on my plan. And suddenly I'm not allowed to use the app anymore, because I decided to take ownership of my devices? Your loss, I know how to navigate the high seas. #AppleMusic #Android #root

Interesting information, thanks. I just learned that this mouse worked proportionally, while previous versions emulated a joystick. Looking really forward to trying this thing for the first time now. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, you're right. ๐Ÿ˜… The set also came with a 28.8k modem (top right, under the Wizard of Wor cart), which I assume isn't correct, either. I took that picture straight after unboxing, not pictured are tons of cables and boxes of floppies that also came with it.

Not only the R4. Looking at the sheer number of Pro Fighter clones alone that were around in the SNES era I'm convinced it was the same back then already.

Fuck Mod Retro and Chromatic. I know there's no ethical consumption under capitalism but Palmer Luckey is a Zionist who creates AI weapons. It isn't that hard to spend your money elsewhere
