I’ve never wanted to see Cox get through successfully as much as I do now.

The only Star Wars I’ve ever seen is the holiday special, can’t say I’d recommend it. :0 I guess to some degree that’s one way to experience the franchise though!

I believe I know why! The original upload by BLR got copyright struck by Maroon 5, so it had to be taken down. This is an upload by someone else and they likely made some edits to the video to prevent it from getting flagged by the system :)

But yes I love both these songs hahaha Sassafras in particular fucks.

For me, it’s gotta be either “Haiku”, or “Sassafras”

Awesome, thank you for letting me know! I’m not an android user and the original app release implied that the play store had the same restriction so this is good to have complete info on. I went ahead and updated the original comment!

Oh yes, sorry should have clarified - for iOS you need to build it yourself. Android you can download the APK. Thank you for the correction!

And the App Store version limits which Peertube sites you can use it with to a pre-approved list, so its usefulness atm is really limited unless you build it yourself.

(Edit: Corrected to remove play store reference)

I’ve been working on archiving/restoring material from an unpublished musical that was written in the 1980s, the playwright who originally wrote it passed away and was never able to publish it. It’s a sci-fi show that got a disturbing amount of things right about the world now (for example, there’s a song about being kept up at night staring at a screen and falling into existentialism - aka doomscrolling. The link is the playwright singing so it’s not nearly as strong singing as the demo but it gives an idea), and it all resonated with me deeply when I first read through the material.

We’ve been able to transcribe by ear most of the music, and recover the other music projects from floppy drives, while recreating the synth patches he used. I’ve even been interviewing cast members who were part of the show when it was being workshopped, to get a better picture of where everything fits in the show’s history. My hope is that maybe by the time I’m done it’ll be in a state where it’s more likely to be picked up and produced one day - because before I got to it it was very disparate and kind of scattered across a lot of different folders without much context.

I’m working on a project that’s really important to me - and I think that there’s a good chance I’ll see it through to completion at this point.

Admittedly, outside of that project… my life has not really been doing much for me lately. I’m glad to have something right now that’s helping keep me stable and sane in a world that really feels like it’s falling apart, but sometimes it really feels like I’m working to finish it and get it out there before life becomes a bit too much.

Sadly, neither have I- in the closed source world there’s stuff like Soundslice which is pretty good but nothing really open source

It can, and it’s quite good! But I mean something more like a self hostable archive.

A Treasure Trove of Gaming History has been Recovered! Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII and an additional 18 Square Enix i-Mode games, thought lost to history, have resurfaced. This impressive haul includes various Kingdom Hearts titles, and the recovery process involved using a debug cable method devised by the Kahvibreak Discord member XYZ.

Read about the discovery

The incredible efforts of researchers like RockmanCosmo and Twitter user @NaoyaShinota, employing a custom debug cable and Linux scripts, have brought back games such as Final Fantasy 4 After Years, Final Fantasy Legends, and the Kingdom Hearts Card Struggle series.

For enthusiasts, this is an opportunity to revisit these titles on emulators like DoJa SDK. However, some games like Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII still require more work to be made functional.

Have you played any of these Square Enix feature phone games?

 

Per /u/Harcroft from /r/OriginalXbox:

I’m still plugging away at collecting and distributing original Xbox DLC. Currently we are missing around 300 Title updates and DLC packs.

We’ve made a huge amount of progress this year including:

-building a list of what we know is missing, it can be found over on ConsoleMods.org. (thanks to /u/Derf_Jagged to starting and hosting the page!)

-Milenko has coded Pinecone, a tool to scan through an Xbox file dump to look for lost content and updates

-I’ve built the database file for Pinecone with all known and archived DLC, this information can be access by anyone and be used for any other appliation or tool anyone wants to build

-16 new installers released in 2023 so far, with 2 more pending, waiting on testers

-The first Auto-Update for Halo 2 was found, rewriting known history for Halo 2 online

-The last missing update for Phantasy Star Online: Episode 1 & 2 was found!

-A partial set of Mechassault PAL/Region 4 DLC was found which allowed us to generate a full set of PAL DLC for that title (thanks /u/HoneySoakedSeagull!)

-A partial dump of Advent Rising DLC was found, allowing us to generate a replacement set of the missing 4 DLCs (thanks /u/CasuallyNoted!)

-Ignoring roster updates and duplicate DLCs we got the unique missing DLC list down to just 1 title! Shikigami no Shiro II

-We figured out a way to force the Xbox to load a title update from a different version of a game, paving the way to “spoofed” title updates to maximize compatibility between players on System Link and Xbox Live replacement services (thanks navipar!)

The year isn’t even half up yet and we’ve done so much, I can’t wait to see how much we get done as a community before the end of the year.

Please go out and find Xboxes that had connected to Xbox Live before the hard drives die! For PAL regions we’re badly in need of German and French console dumps. We’re also badly in need of console dumps from Japan and South East Asia.

Thanks for reading!
