Thank you for the feedback. I added draggable icons. I'll work on either making the start menu have more purpose or give it the axe! Thank you again, it helps me refine the project.


For everything that Apple does great. They really do drop the ball on the dumbest things. I used to use iTunes in place of the Apple Music app for my library and connecting my old iPods, and now with Retroactive being discontinued I haven't found a great alternative other than just buying an old Mac and I unfortunately don't have the space for one.


Having just recently heard about Ghidra and started using it with Claude. I am absolutely blown away how little resistance it has decompiling old Win95/98 binaries. It's turning into a bit of a hobby of mine to take old software, decompile and find hidden treasures like images or messages.


There's this unfortunate common misconception (that LLMs luckily don't tend to share) that reverse engineering is illegal or immoral, when it's both a great source of learning, a necessity for things like interop/preservation, and even has explicit carve-outs in the copyright laws of many/sane countries.

I know my government has a good amount of reverse engineers on the payroll (mostly in the security services).


I remember back in 2004 when the pentagon found an Israeli spy in the Pentagon. This has been going on for decades and I'm sure it will go on for decades more at this point.


Are there audio emulators out there that simulate VHS compressed warped audio?


VHS audio was superb.


It really was. I recently got on the VHS bandwagon and the audio feels much more richer to me than say a blu-ray or streaming copy. There's something about the imperfections that resonates with me.


Not only that but VHS gained "Hi-Fi" in the 80ies. Only a CD had higher quality, but considering the equipment it was played probably not by much.


These are both amazing projects, but why does NTSC-CRT feel more accurate to how I remember television looking than ntsc-rs?


From what I’m seeing ntsc rs “just” emulates VHS and NTSC artifacts, whereas ntsc crt also does all the fun that has to do with CRT rasterizing


Finally decided to see why "raster" and it was the Germans, from latin for "rake" ; and it meant scanning-field.
