Time for more classic SNK action on this week's Battle of the Ports with Street Smart

Hi guys, Back with our pal Dr.Volk. Here we see the kind gentleman revisiting Magician Lord for the Neo-Geo. So glad to see him playing this fantastic gem of a title again. So let's dive right in in see what he has to say and watch his great gaming skills in action. Enjoy. From the description, "Episode 1 (Part 1), "Return of the Mag," has been abbreviated as "Ep 1" for your convenience MAGICIAN LORD IS BACK! Long-time commenter @Charlie-Cat. desired a rerun of his very first request on this channel and my first NEO-GEO game, back from 2018! Naturally, I couldn't deny his request. This is Magician Lord, the story about Elta, the last descendant of the legendary Magician Lord, who goes on a quest to stop the evil Gul-Ageize (or Gal Agiese, as the game says) from collecting the 8 spellbooks that contain the Dark Lord Az-Atorse, and resurrecting him! It's been 6 long years. My gaming, commentary, and editing skills have improved significantly. Will I be able to run through this game faster than before? Let's find out... THIS TIME on Dr. Volk! If you're reading this description: if you were a wizard or witch, what would your wizard name be? Mine would be something along the lines of Quivold Amethyst, maybe- Comment below!" Anthony..

We should get programming then.

OK, that gave the ability to download the update. Initially I tried it with the PlusCart being connected to the PlusStore, and it failed as expected. I then toggled to make it not connected and rebooted the pluscart. However, when downloading the wifi update this time, it also failed.

This version is beta and not release or pushed to the repository. As far as I can see from the logs no beta tester devices (except for my devices) have been able to update via the PlusStore.

I will need to send you an update Saturday.

I agree. That label has seen better days. I'd value that cart at about $80

Which repository is the new firmware file in?

Agreed. And to be honest, new games with super realistic graphics bore me to death. While I much prefer gameplay over graphics, when it comes to old hardware (especially Atari hardware), my curiosity about that hardware's true capabilities never rests 😆

I probably can't afford it.

This adapter works flawlessy with my CX40+ on my mini-PC and it also has a mode for Nintendo Switch. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B089LSHW4T

If anyone is using the raspberry pi image I made, I posted some info on how to get the updater to look at the new repo so it will work again back in January.

Yeah that's like 95% of the time I get absolutely PWNED by the Flamoids level. They are brutal indeed. Great scores!!! Congrats! Yes, I also psyche myself out when I get close to my personal best! Also... looks like I need to get back to playing Scramble, stat!

I think making fun games should be the first priority and after that pushing graphics. I would be happy with a Starfox / Panzer Dragoon like game.

I am working with a customer in his free time to do a 3D scan of one so I can see about shopping around a couple of small run production houses. They do not accept STLs, so I have to do some conversion (or native build) in something like AutoCAD.

After moving to ban TikTok in the US, the federal government could target the China-based DJI next. A report from The New York Times highlights a bill advanced by the House of Energy and Commerce Committee last month that could ground DJI’s fleet of drones across the country. If passed, the Countering CCP Drones Act would add DJI drones to the FCC’s list of equipment covered by the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019. This bars communications equipment or services that “pose a national security risk” from running on US networks. It also prevents companies from using federal funding to purchase banned equipment. Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE are already included on the FCC’s list. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/26/24141369/dji-ban-china-countering-ccp-drones-act

But it's yet to be seen if it's even possible lol

So would I!

Has anyone mapped one out? And would it be worth it to 3D print one? All tho that is big thing to print might not be worth the cost and would need a larger format printer bed as well.

Virtua Racing, or Virtua Fighter on the Jaguar at 60fps 480i I'd be happy if the Jag could do that!

The v2.3.18 you are using is PlusStore Nr. #1286 and was not in the beta test group. I have just added it.

AI is so good now, it invented a new special paper format that can play mp3 sound files complete with speakers.

Make me an offer and I'll let you know if it's enough by Sunday night. 🙂 You can PM me if you want to keep your offer private.

Touché

What’s the point of comparing the two? Both consoles are fantastic imho. The Neo-Geo and its arcade games and the Jaguar with its 3D titles and excellent homebrew releases. Both have (and do have) a place in my gaming room.
