if the deal with sony hadn't fallen through and they weren't delegated to a non-game console, do you think the CD-i zeldas could have been good?

Has anyone here bought/used this (PS-IO)?

- Does it live upto the hype?
- Is it worth the high cost? (150AUD = 143CAD, still pricey)
- Easier to physically mod a smaller portion of your system (Switch Board Kit) versus a larger modchip?

It's truly tempting, and I do believe nothing like it (PS1 FLASHcart) has come out before, so it's a "part" of a flashcart collection that'd be missing, but I'm not sure it's really worth the cost.

Hey /vr/ I purchased Mischief Makers on N64 today. While testing it, I saw the game has a gorgeous sprite based style just from the intro, and it's a perfect example of why we needed more 2D games in the 5th generation of consoles. I feel like gen 5 is the perfect sweet spot for 2D games - consoles like the saturn and n64 were capable of 3D, but when they stayed in 2D, the result was for some gorgeous games; unfortunately developers solemn left in the safe zone that was 2D games. Symphony of the Night, Yoshi's Story, & Guardian Heroes are some notable examples. Post some 2D games from the 5th generation worth playing.

Sega updated all of their MD/Genesis games on Steam to launch from a 3D hub designed to look like a 1990's bedroom. More than that, they've added Steam Workshop support, meaning people can upload "mods" (i.e. romhacks).

https://steamcommunity.com/app/34270/workshop/

So far, most of them are just garbage sonic hacks, but somebody figured out that you can just upload an entirely different ROM and call it a "mod", even if that game isn't for sale on Steam. Currently, Contra Hard Corp is listed as a mod for Sonic the Hedgehog.

I would never pay for ROMs, but maybe this will help popularize romhacking and inspire people to get into it.
