Sorry I have been out of the loop

[jackhammersalm]

Sorry guys, been here on and off over the past couple of years

work has been claiming more of my time. anyways I will trying to return to the fold more often as gaming list has grown

along with my patience for crap which has reduced a lot. really need to start making content as in reviews and commentaries like I used to

its not much but  have been keeping an eye on the scene and I have been more of a lurker than a commentor over the past couple of years

Thats going to change 

in other words 

I'm BACK!!!!!

[brudibru]

So nice to see you back, your hyperspin reports were legendary !

[jackhammersalm]

speaking of which, what content would like to see out of me if I restarted the reports as a straight report covering gaming in general

need ideas from you guys so I can give you guys any information needed within the scene and outside the scene

 

I will present it as both a video for youtube consumption and with notes and edited on the article page itself

I plan on giving you content again with improved production and skills 

 

[brudibru]

Presenting the new media and contents available in the Hyperspin forum, presenting the new evolutions of the main emulators, presenting one retro system (emulators, games, media) each report. Maybe some mini tutos.

It would be a lot already but you know that the activity around the emulators and the contents made available in Hyperspin can vary a lot and are not what it used to be.

Maybe you should not look for a fixed periodicity of the reports but instead make them when it's worth it. What you did back then must have been exhausting !

[jackhammersalm]

Don't worry I got ideas in my head, don't worry about that

I will cover our beloved site because Hyperspin has transended just our little frontend as the artwork and themes are used in other frontends as well

I plan on covering the remakes scene as well. 

also plan on covering game engines on some of us true creative gamers who think they like their hand at creating an actual game

might cover modern games as well (NOT COD OR BATTLEFIELD as I don't play well with other)

will be covering the pinball emulation scene as well with respective frontends

if you guys have any other ideas I will look at them

 

[brudibru]

I can't wait to see that !

Remake, Game engines, Pinball, great ideas.

Covering modern "retro" games could be nice too, so many good ones the last few years.

 I felt completely in love with Noita recently and had a hard time getting out of my addiction.

[jackhammersalm]

My first article is out it more of a rabbling piece as I had way too much to cover in my mind with sort out format for next issue, tell me what you want to see 

the hyperspin report returns

[floatingyeti]

Love the article.

I was unaware of the Pinup Pinball and the game remakes.  I appreciate how broad the scope of your emulation coverage is and I look forward to reading more.

[brudibru]

Great stuff, I loved the game remakes part !

[brudibru]

Just one question about your article jackhammersalm: You say that the mame version in Retroarch is outdated but I thought the core was updated for each or almost each new version of Mame standalone. I think the latest update was from 5 days ago.

I am not an expert here so I hope you can explain the differences between the versions and how the libretro core is outdated.

Thanks in advance for your answer !

[jackhammersalm]

well I started writing the article about 2 weeks ago only finished it on Thursday

I will try and cover everything a bit more regularly

working on the format as we speak 

I am going to go to back and play crossing souls because a I love the game also I am going to review it for the next article

I will include more detailed views of the emuVR and and customizable nature of it, even if its a my personal views I include the movies and some music plus will show you the Nintendo line ups in the 3d environment. I will show you how good it is for a single developer. the artist scene is quite detailed. 

I will give you just basic info for emulators nothing too detailed as the readme's are normally are something like 10 pages long 

would you want a discord stream where I do the prep for the videos for the articles where I could do some video on the players 

will setup the pinball systems just for you. what would like a stream to be about even though it a private one will edit content for Youtube

[brudibru]

The discord stream would be a must !

[jackhammersalm]
