This blog post goes over all of the work I’ve done to add HD resolution support to the Original Xbox version of Halo 2. From patching the game to modifying the hardware of the Xbox console to writing custom tools for performance benchmarking, my goal with this project was to push the limits of both and see how far I could go. I’ve tried to keep this blog post as short as I could and only include the most technically interesting parts but even then it ended up quite long.

The Video Game Remake Boom Is Producing Nostalgic Hype and Uncomfortable Questions
Video game remakes like ‘Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’ are the definitive single-player trend of the past decade. But they also represent a distinct set of challenges for an art form that doesn’t really "age" like other entertainment does.

TimeSplitters is another great game. I miss the PS2, GameCube days.
Me too! It is all I did one summer with my brother and a couple of friends. One of the best summers I had growing up.
Before PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo dominated the market, numerous companies took a shot at making their own video game consoles. Many have rightfully been forgotten.

In the video, Leepspvideo demonstrates his success at emulating the Nintendo GameCube on the Raspberry Pi 5. This is running on an emulator dedicated to the GameCube known as Dolphin. The performance is playable and as long as you keep the Pi plenty cool, it’s going to handle many GameCube ROMs without too much fuss.

References to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake have been taken offline by some of PlayStation’s primary social media accounts, amid a report of troubled development.
Hello again, Today, rather than discuss one of our upcoming projects, I’d like to share an update about the studio itself and outline our vision for BioWare’s future. In order to meet the needs of …

As part of this transition, we are eliminating approximately 50 roles at BioWare. That is deeply painful and humbling to write. We are doing everything we can to ensure the process is handled with empathy, respect, and clear communication. With that last point in mind, I want to take a moment to explain how we got here, what we’re doing to support our colleagues, and what this means for BioWare’s current and future games.
It was never the gaming revolution Microsoft thought it’d be, but Kinect found some utility in the business world

It finally happened. Microsoft has fully ended production of Kinect hardware. And no, you didn’t stumble upon an article from 2014. Yes, it’s 2023 and Microsoft, in case you didn’t know, has been still trying to make Kinect work, just not in the gaming space. Well, today Microsoft has thrown in the towel.
Hey, I know someone in this article!
Why? I was still buying Xbox 360 games on sale this year!

Last September, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund earmarked nearly $40 billion for a new conglomerate aimed at transforming the kingdom into the “ultimate global hub” for games and esports by 2030. In February, the Saudi fund became the biggest outside investor in Nintendo, and just this month the kingdom hosted a major gaming tournament with a record $45 million prize pool.

In the heart of Tokyo’s Shibuya district lies one of the most interesting collections of rare and unique Nintendo items, but only a select number of people have ever visited it.
Any one play on getting one?
I remember watching this when it was streamed. So glad a better-quality version has been found.

Atari has just announced a line of officially licensed and authentic reproduction circuit boards from some of their most beloved arcade classics.
And also are a 1:1 recreation of the original boards. So they would also work as an actual replacement for a damaged board from an original cabinet.
I have seen the videos on Instagram. Looks good.

EU has posted a document explaining new regulations set to begin in 2027 which will require all devices to allow easy access to their battery.
What a great find thank you for posting.
I am looking forward to watching this on my lunch break!
I thought the same thing. I remembering upgraded to a light-scribe drive which was cool. I thought it would take off more but USB keys killed it.
I use to do that, but the Steam deck is easier to fly with. Watch I'll end up getting a mouse and keyboard for it to not always use the Thumbsticks and this will be a moot point.
I have trouble getting into those games. I don't have much time and focus more on story games. Maybe when I retire, I can dedicate some time to a souls game.
I got rid of my physical collection a few years ago. It was just too much stuff, especially when it comes to moving. Digital made things a lot easier.
