Have you considered contacting Neal (Loopy) to see if he could fix it? Or a local repair shop?

my genuine multiplayer box seems to have also been modified to accept bluetooth controllers - I'll probably open it one day and see how they did it.

it's a shame these weren't made by a proper distributor, the number of people who have asked for one to be turned down by grav is disheartening.

The Sims 1 console level data being portable to PC / vice versa is super cool. 2nd floors don't work on console and some unique console objects don't work on PC as they don't exist, but it's pretty awesome to see such good reuse of already existing code in a project like this.

I've been working on a long form video for The Sims 1 and it's very unique console ports on-and-off for about a year now and some of the things within these games are really fascinating to me. Hopefully one day this video will be done and shared online for Sims fans.

It's also not a holographic sticker unlike retail American carts.

The tiny piece of text on the label that says "not for resale" is what makes it rare. It's a cartridge that has no save battery that was used for a store demo kiosk

#SuperMarioGalaxy 1 has auto saving, no more prompt every single star asking "do you want to save?"

It has nicer textures (in some places), a cleaner font and runs in 4k (on switch 2)

It still uses gyro for the pointer aiming and re-centre with R, Mouse controls is only for P2

Boulder Bowl Galaxy does have a texture on the ramp, but when you knock it down, the lighting makes it look like it's not there at certain angles.

All this hoo-ha over a texture change lol.

Infinite Yoshi Flutter still works in #SuperMarioGalaxy2 for Switch 1 / Switch 2... (I'm very bad at it, sorry)

Well, there seems to be a reason he's explicitly said no to mods or randomizers, be it corporate or sponsorship l... Maybe he fears Nintendo... Who knows.

bought a rad2x cause using a gv-usb for Nintendo analogue systems in 2025 is ass.

Tried it with an iQue using an iQue to Nintendo multi out converter and yes, it works.

Judging by peta's post, that, but by an organisation that actually is ran by someone with a functioning frontal lobe, is what Nintendo were particularly worried about in the 90s.

It was most likely disabled due to ethical concerns. Nose rings are used to control aggressive live stock on farms but is seen ethically wrong as the procedure of giving them one is exceptionally painful. Nintendo were exceptionally culture shock minded in this period of time.

if we wait long enough the slime enemy will reproduce so much it will outweigh all the races itself.

I still want an explanation for who neko had to kill to get his own isolated house

it has the same fan base aura around it that Undertale did - obnoxious, loud people that demand you must hollowknight or try it.

Meanwhile we have no proof of team cherry got lucky once or are actually capable of making an even more captivating sequel

Yeah I can see that if you didn't like 4 then you'll be satisfied, for future remakes this however does not bode well as they built ontop of 4.

I'd rather see a new entry than touch THUG based on 3+4... I don't think ACTIV have given proper budget allocation for this project.

No thanks, not giving you my Credit Card, Passport or Biometrics.

I'll let you link to my phone via the app, but you're not getting anything more personal than that.

mods on 1 and 2 have been so far easily ported to 3 and 4 also as the core structure has remained the same...

iron Galaxy are clearly talented artist and level designers, but this is very much a Vicarious Visions product still at it's core and they won't be properly credited for it ever.

12.07.2025 17:50 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

bugs are still present that existed in 1 and 2 while new ones have been introduced.

60% of goal content from thps4 is missing and the removal of Carnival and Chicago for 3 new levels is such an odd choice.

12.07.2025 17:48 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

as a remake of 3 it's great, as a remake of 4 it's a joke.

really fun game but it's 1 and 2, it's vicarious visions work and hardly anything aside from the levels have changed, even down to the way the save file is constructed... you can pass saves between 1 and 2 to 3 and 4 on pc and it will work.
