![]() A few days later, another runner, Rain, showed off a complete tool-assisted speedrun that warps the player to the game’s credits scene much faster than even the fastest glitch-exploiting speedruns could do previously. Advertisementįray's proof-of-concept video goes into some detail on how the Paper Mario glitch actually works.īy mid-February, though, Paper Mario runner Fray had done the positional calculations and shown off a code execution proof of concept that could be performed with the assistance of emulation tools. Players eventually discovered that Morpheus had accidentally triggered a situation where the game was storing too much data in the “effects matrix,” a data structure the game uses to store details of visual effects like smoke from Mario’s hammer blows.īy using a menu glitch to permanently store what are usually temporary effects, a player can overflow that matrix and enter a portion of unrelated memory, which the game interprets as “garbage” machine code, leading to a crash. The story of how this incredible method was discovered goes back two months, when a Paper Mario speedrunner who goes by Morpheus stumbled on a mysterious game crash in the middle of a livestreamed run. Their new method requires some extremely careful character positioning, the exploitation of “junk” memory in the N64’s RAM expansion pack and, amazingly, playing a couple of games of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. There are now dozens of examples of similar glitches that use nothing but controller inputs to insert new programming instructions into classic games, including many that can be performed by humans (and not just button-mashing robots).Įven given all that history, though, we’re still a bit wowed by the speedrunning community that found a way to insert new code into Paper Mario for the N64, leading to a new record-setting speedrun of the game. Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony releases April 30 on PC.Further Reading How an emulator-fueled robot reprogrammed Super Mario World on the flyThe idea of using video games as a way to achieve some form of Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) on classic hardware has come a long way since seven years ago, when TASbot publicly reprogrammed a Super NES on the fly via Super Mario World. To play Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony upon its release, interested fans just have to visit its official website, download the game, extract it from a zip file, and get to shooting. It doesn't require ownership of any other game, as the developers have built it from the ground up. The complete Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony will be playable standalone. All of the work was done entirely without pay, otherwise Bethesda would have likely shut the project down. The diversity of the development team even allowed the project to be translated into ten different languages. The team behind Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony has been working on it for around six years, with all of its team members working remotely. That may not compare to Wolfenstein 3D's sixty levels, but it makes Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony a massive fangame.Īs with any fangame, the completion of Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony is impressive to a degree that most of its players will never understand. Combined with chapter one and chapter two, that makes for a total of 35 stages for players to complete. The result is that Chapter 3: The Final Confrontation adds a total of 16 additional maps to Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony, each progressing the game's story closer to its ultimate conclusion. In the third chapter of Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony, enemy and ally AI is going to be improved with dodging and taking cover, post-processing shaders are being implemented for better visual effects, new weapons and enemies are being added, and both chapter one and chapter two are being revamped for a more polished overall experience. It's also a massive update to previously released content. RELATED: Retro FPS ULTRAKILL Launches in Early AccessĬhapter 3: The Final Confrontation isn't just another chapter of Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony, however. Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony - Chapter 3: The Final Confrontation is arriving on April 30. Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony has already had two major chapters released over the years, but now it's ready to drop its biggest and most exciting update yet. Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony is heavily inspired by both Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, delivering a story-based experience building upon Wolfenstein 3D with gameplay closer to the original Doom. However, there's also the more traditional method of paying tribute, like with fangame Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony. Whether it's 3D Realms' resurgence with upcoming games like Graven, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, and SiN: Reloaded, or new developers like New Blood Interactive with Dusk, Ultrakill, and others, the genre is being revitalized. Nostalgia for action-packed first-person shooters from the 90s and early 2000s is reaching a peak. ![]()

![]() If you are still awake, dear reader, this possibly means you! Here we go. 1Īfter spending some time with IL-2 BOS and overcoming difficulties lifting the plane off the ground, I decided to write a brief tutorial that might help someone interested in this excellent simulator. IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad ( IL-2 BOS) is the first map, dynamic campaign and collection of flying wood-metal-engine-and-guns contraptions in the third generation of the Sturmovik series, now known as IL-2 Great Battles. This means we did everything okay.” - Albert Zhiltsov ![]() “All we need to do is just for maybe ten seconds, you believe you fly. The best I have ever “flown”, in the sense of making you believe you are really flying, is IL-2 Sturmovik, originally published in 2001. More stability in my life after moving into a new apartment and a connection with two friends who share my excitement about flying and video games means a return to a childhood passion: Flight simulators, a type of computer software that helps one feel the experience of flying an aeroplane. I still fly with my Extreme 3D Pro and use my keyboard for other bindings, I don't need a full out HOTAS for $100 or more.The Joy of Flight in IL-2 Sturmovik Flight Simulatorĭance on to the sky and smile while riding a metal pheasant from the 1940’s. Point is, buy a cheap joystick if you intend on flying casually and don't have that much demanding flying to do. I also bought a Track IR, but thats another story. So I bought a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick (Refurbished) for $23 online. Later I started doing SEOW and playing other games like DCS, so I needed some kind of precision, especially for rudder controls. I only played this game and Microsoft Flight Simulator, I wasn't in need of anything fancy. ![]() It didn't have a twist axis for rudder controls, that was the downside. When I started playing this game I bought a Logitech Attack 3, it was cheap and cost me $20 at the local electronics store. I would recommend a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick (Does not have to be brand new, I bought mine Used/Refurbished).īuy what fulfills your needs and don't pay a premium for fancy features you won't end up using that often. I'll come back to this thread in the future to answer whether JoyMouse works with 4.13.4.įor buying a joystick it depends what you need. I'm more concerned about the game version, as to whether the JoyMouse programs still handle the same way they did on 4.09bm1. It should work on the current Windows versions. This guide was written before the release of Windows 7 (and Windows 8 and Windows 10), so it is no surprise that it mentions Windows XP as the newest Windows.Īgain, I have not had the time to test the JoyMouse method and verify that it works on newer Windows versions. I assume you read the MouseAsJoy_text.txt file and saw "driver for Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP". Otherwise I'll test it out myself later when I have the time to set it up. Let me know if it works and I might go through the effort to actually make a video tutorial of it. Look for my Youtube videos: my Youtube name is "Viciousslee" and the first video is called simply "Joymouse." The second video is called "Joymouse IL 2 Demo." It uses public-domain utilities (PPJoy, PPMouse, NewView, and CursorFX) and only makes changes to. This setup is not a mod no game code is changed. ![]() See his web page, which includes links to his Youtube vids: I used Google translator and my own efforts to arrive at something similar to what he does. Thanks to Youtube user "aleksalpine" for his Russian-language web page explaining his own setup. This zip file contains a complete guide to setting up the mouse in IL-2 to function as a joystick it's easier to fly with the mouse than you may think, and my setup allows very fast and efficient toggling of mouselook with a simple 2-key combo. I am not sure if the methods still work for the more recent version of the game, but you can try it.įly IL-2 with mouse instead of joystick - with easy and snappy mouselook ability! ![]() It's a set of various different programs set up together to emulate joystick movement with a mouse. However, other than buying a joystick, you can try to go through a lot more work by using the JoyMouse method. By default the game does not support mouse steering for aircrafts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anime Aniplex Attack on Titan Black Clover Blu-ray Bones CloverWorks Cowboy Bebop Demon Slayer.

Well, that's what I had done (ran the TMT installer and TMT works fine and properly plays back DTS-HD files), but when I run the command line "eac3to -test" to see which decoders are "installed" it always shows Arcsoft as not installed.Īnd this is where I've run into a dead end trying to resolve this. I'm just missing something or a componentĪfter pulling my hair out, Googling until my eyes fall out, I think I've run into the crux of my problems with DTS-HD files: eac3to doesn't seem to acknowledge that I've installed ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre, which I assume installed SOMEWHERE it's proprietary Arcsoft DTS-HD decoder.īut everywhere I read regarding eac3to and external decoders is that you simply "install said software" and basically, eac3to will recognize it no matter where you install the software, eac3to included. I'm sure there HAS to be a way, because, again, the option to convert to LPCM is there in multiAVCHD. Transcoding DTS-HD/TrueHD with PS3 Media Server, in my experience, causes the playback to be choppy, even with dual quad-core 2.8 GHz Harpertowns. Now, if I didn't want to experience high fidelity sound at all, and can live with standard DTS/AC3 5.1 audio, then I can either extract/convert to DTS/AC3, or have PS3 Media Server transcode. The USB drive method is rather clumsy in that I would have to attach a hard drive to my PS3 whenever I wanted to watch a particular movie, and I would have to pre-arrange the folder structure to that movie I wanted to watch (tho there are utilities to have multiple AVCHD folders present and be able to select which movie to watch). ![]() I stream via PS3 Media Server as I want one place to have all my media on. PS3 will not send out any DTS-HD MA or TrueHD audio to the receiver unless both conditions are met:ġ) Connection to AV Receiver must be HDMI (optical Toslink doesn't have the bandwidth to send DTS-HD nor TrueHD)Ģ) The source must be from a Blu-Ray disc, from an AVCHD folder structure on a USB drive, or as LPCM streamed from PS3 Media Server I have an HDMI receiver and 7.1 speakers. The main reason I want no conversion (down sampling) is to enjoy the fullest, high fidelity audio. But do I need more that what is normally bundled with multiAVCHD to actually get DTS HD to LPCM conversion to work as it seems multiAVCHD relies on eac3to?ĭo I need to get TotalMedia, and if so, does it automatically add a plugin to eac3to so I can then bring full functionality to multiAVCHD, or do I use TotalMedia as a stand-alone app and convert the DTS-HD audio track within it? Glancing at TotalMedia, it seems more like a media player than an AV toolset. MultiAVCHD from all that I've read claims to be able to handle DTS-HD MA conversion to LPCM heck, the option is right there on the Subtitles & Audio tab. ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre), but it does include libav to allow TrueHD decoding, which supports why I can convert TrueHD currently. Some Googling and I find that eac3to does not include a native DTS-HD audio decoder and the only available "plug-in" for it are commercial software (e.g. Now I'm trying to convert DTS-HD to LPCM but all of the m2ts files I throw at it fail, with the jist being that eac3to refused to convert audio. ![]() As the MAC Mini has no HDMI output you can never achieve more than 2 channel HD audio, the best you can get is SD DD/DTS or 2 channel PCM.I've been using multiAVCHD to convert TrueHD to LPCM with no problems. From what I can tell your amp can only handle stereo via HDMI so you are not getting HD audio.Īpart from PCM there is no other multi-channel lossless format available if you can't handle Master Audio or True HD. If your amp can only handle stereo (2.0) audio via HDMI you are getting Pro Logic II/DTS Neo 6 de-matrixed sound that is not as good as HD audio and arguably worse than SD DD/DTS. If your amplifier can take 5.1/7.1 PCM then you are getting the full soundtrack from a Blu-ray, the Blu-ray player is un-compressing the DD/DTS. The new DD True HD and DTS HD Master Audio have been expanded to full 7.1 channel and can losslessly encode all the PCM audio, and are a perfect copy of the PCM but requiring less storage. ![]() The standard DD and DTS codecs are like MP3 and cannot stores all the 5.1 PCM data so instead discard some of the information, this is NOT lossless and is LOSSY. The problem with PCM is that it takes alot of space and is therefore compressed with codecs such as Dolby Digital and Digital Theatre Sound. LPCM is the uncompressed audio, currently Blu-ray supports upto 7.1 on releases but it can theoretically continue increasing. ![]() ![]() Also contained within this set are two sub folders. ![]() Therefore you may have to manually update a few images to your liking or use an alternate name within Launchbox itself.

![]() ![]() Continue to attack only the Jargons and psyche yourself up. The more of them there are, the better the chance of them calling for backup. Leave the Dingalings alone, and continue to heal, psyche up, or use stat-raising magic. If you are psyched up, use one person to kill the Jargon. Eventually, with a little patience, one of the Dingalings will call for backup and a Jargon will appear. After only the Dingalings remain, psyche yourself up, heal, or use magic to raise your stats. Go to the area before Maella Abbey and run around until you get into a battle with at least one Dingaling. This will give you some earlier experience than Metal Slimes, and the experience gained is more stable than trying to kill Metal Slimes. Fight the Dingaling squads who summon Jargons, and only kill the Jargons with Yangus and the Hero from psyching. Also, do not always wait until your characters are at a few HP/MP unless they have the Evac and Zoom spells. Metal Slimes in the Ruined Abbey (after you acquire Angelo's Templar ring) are worth about 1,300 experience points per kill. When this happens, change locations and use Whistle. Additionally, standing in one location is slower - try running around until the slimes do not appear for awhile. ![]() Also, it is much faster to use Whistle by Yagus to get into battle much quicker, as the slime appears randomly. Thus, you have a definite kill, giving you up to 1,000 or more experience points. It is not not important if Yagus lands or not, because Angelo's Metal Slash (which can do up to 2 HP damage) will definitely hit. When Jessica strikes, it is likely she will land at least one hit and take another HP from the Metal Slime. Since the Metal Slime is metal, when you strike it with a Metal Slash technique it is likely to take 2 HP from the 4 HP that the Metal Slime posseses. It is best to train in the Ruined Abbey after you get Angelo, as he also knows the Metal Slash with a sword like "The Hero". ![]() Equip a whip for Jessica and you must know the ability "Twin Dragon Lash", which she will strike twice (and make it very likely to land at least one). To get an easy kill, equip a sword with "The Hero", and you must know the ability "Metal Slash". Once you encounter a slime or slimes (up to three), concentrate on only one of them, as it is hard to kill one. They possess only 4 HP but are difficult to defeat because they either dodge or run away immediately. After a few battles you should encounter a Metal Slime(s). Once there, be patient, as at first you will encounter regular enemies. Use Angelo's ring to open the entrance underground. When Angelo asks you to check on the Abbot, go to the Ruined Abbey slightly north of there. If you manage to kill the Metal Slime(s), you will be rewarded with about 1,000 to 2,000 experience points, and about 299 to 499 gold. Do not use spells, as they have no effect. Make sure your main character is equipped with a Boomerang - if you fight two you can hit both of them. Metal Slimes have low amount of HP and sometime appear in groups of two. Metal Slimes will run usually on the first turn, but if not, try hitting it. Instead of flying through the dungeon, walk around until you encounter a Metal Slime. To gain about 1,000 to 2,000 experience points early in the game, once Angelo asks you to check on the Abbot, go to the Ruined Abbey slightly north of there.

Though the Cenacs and the Craftons continued to record sporadically until 1989, they didn't hit the R&B charts after 1986. ![]() Without a single as noteworthy as 'Jam on Revenge' or 'Computer Age', and with the advent of Run-DMC's organic, rock-influenced approach to rap music, Newcleus faded quickly. The first Newcleus LP, Jam on Revenge, was a bit of a disappointment, and their second album, Space Is the Place, did even more poorly upon release in 1984. 'Computer Age (Push the Button)' was a more mature single, with accomplished rapping and better synthesizer effects, and it also hit the R&B Top 40. The single hit Top 40 on the R&B charts in 1983, and its follow-up, 'Jam on It,' did well on even the pop charts. A huge street success, the track became known unofficially as 'the Wikki-Wikki song' (after the refrain) when it was re-released later that year on Sunnyview Records, it had become 'Jam on Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)'. The track, 'Jam-On's Revenge' impressed producer Joe Webb more than the other Newcleus material, and it became the group's first single, released in 1983 on Mayhew Records. With several minutes left at the end of the tape, Newcleus recorded a favorite from their block parties, with each member's vocals sped up to resemble the Chipmunks. By this time, Cenac had begun to accumulate a collection of electronic recording equipment, and the quartet recorded a demo tape of material. (The foursome named their group Newcleus as a result of the coming together of their families). Many members - MCs as well as DJs - came and went as the group played block parties all over the borough, and by 1979, the group centered around Cenac, his future wife Yvette 'Lady E' Cook, Monique Angevin, and her future husband, Bob 'Chilly B' Crafton. The origins of Newcleus lay in a 1977 Brooklyn DJ collective known as Jam-On Productions, including Ben 'Cozmo D' Cenac, his cousin Monique Angevin, and her brother Pete (all teenagers and still in high school). This was found on a recently unearthed cassette, and aside from a short dropout and some slight stereo drift actually has a fairly good sound quality.Although they recorded only two albums, Newcleus contributed one true electro classic in 'Jam on Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song),' which has been immortalized on hundreds of hip-hop mixtapes and often included in even techno DJs' sets. Along those lines, the main and most stand-out differences are the TR-808 drum track, replaced in the later version by a much more involved RX-11, and the smooth Pro One square wave solo at the end, which would be replaced by a DX-7 electric piano jazz solo. ![]() While much of the arrangement is basically the same as the later version, since this was done with the same instruments as the other Positive Messenger and early Newcleus material it has a much more straight-up Electro feel to it. ![]() Though it was included on the demo tape that Cozmo was shopping, when the group was putting together the “Jam On Revenge” album they felt that it’s melancholy vibe didn’t fit in with the more uptempo feel of the rest of the tracks. In actuality, the album version was a Jazzier remix done as the group’s first foray into MIDI technology in 1984.This original was written and recorded in 1982. ![]() This is the only Positive Messenger song that was redone for the 2nd Newcleus album “Space Is The Place”. ![]() ![]() ![]()
