Sounds good, I think I still have an IDA project for PGR which might help expand on that

I think there's a lot still to be discovered in PGR 1 - a year or so ago I found some unstripped debug overlays and a lot of assert messages, things that usually have to be removed for MS' strict cert process

PGR 2 also has some leftovers of "Test Crap Circuit" which is also amusing

Maybe it's them that's been confusing the old and new versions lol

New one is nice enough to catch your eye and be like "huh nice" but certainly nowhere near the greats

Yeah I think for them to address that one *immediately* really shows they're listening and trying

Genuinely thought I wouldn't be buying any new games in 2026 but FH6 had me convinced in minutes

Some recent developments - FM2 Randomizer now working on real hardware, and the randomizer itself is now optional for those who simply want the QoL changes

Today you learned it was the Yamaha DX-7 that made *that* sound

PCSX2-Cheats/Enthusia at main ยท TheAdmiester/PCSX2-Cheats Some .pnach files created from reverse engineering work - TheAdmiester/PCSX2-Cheats

Started making some little QoL cheats for Enthusia ๐Ÿ‘€

Hopefully others enjoy them, as for me personally they were so useful I ran a whole new playthrough

It's not, it's a conversion test I did from FM7

Celebratory sesh if and when you do - I'm sure @kusanagi765.bsky.social will take any excuse to get some PGR 2 going ๐Ÿ‘€

I've loved Neutraface 2 for over a decade now, so

In case you ever wanted to know what "popping to the city" MPG looked like with an old V8

I've never used it before unfortunately, I saw in my Discord that apparently this one runs on Mac and worked fine: github.com/marco-calaut...

Might be worth a try

I don't have a Mac so can't help with specifics, but if you can run GT4 then you can run Spec II

That's intentional, the AI cars were never that close to the original limit anyway, it's purely a change for the player

I don't think there was a set for GT4 Online Public Beta specifically, which is what Spec II is based on - it looks an awful lot like retail 4 but it's massively different under the hood, so it's basically making an entire new set

27.11.2024 14:54 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yep, there's a set in development although on pause for now: retroachievements.org/viewtopic.ph...

RA works off of memory detection patterns as far as I can tell, so I added a global variable that should make it easier for suXin to check if you're playing the mod

Accidentally did that 2000s press shot thing again

It was piggybacking off of some existing work so it wasn't crazy difficult, but still has some bugs that need to be figured out

Bit of a trend with 4s here...
