Here’s the most of my playlist called YM2612:

Guess I’ll save this thread for later >:)

Couldn’t stop playing it for days when I first got it.

Not familiar with those MZCO books.

Same. Vol. 1 has a couple of nice games, but the 2nd one should have all the real good stuff.

I’m not just playing, I’m also seeding* eXoDOS and eXoWin95.

What a weird argument. People preserve all the digital games on consoles, too. The only somewhat fair argument would be that it’s slightly easier to preserve games on PC, but really both have their own challenges. On PC you’re fighting DRM, on consoles you’re fighting the OS security to break in.

The only real excuse for digital only is DRM free, where you can backup your installers.

They’re minerals! Jesus, Marie!

(Not the country)

Should’ve just said “True”.

Yeah, that’s what I meant with my second sentence, I’m just not 100% sure there’s no upgrade path.

False. My machine officially isn’t upgradeable to W11 cause it’s too old. Also, it’s possible that LTSC doesn’t even suggest to upgrade.

Good thing I’m not in US.

Not if you’re on mobile :(
(I mean the design, not loading speeds)

Isn’t not wasting food the default? You don’t have to eat the same meal all the time for that, you just buy what you intend to prepare/eat before it goes bad.

I think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it’s better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don’t see the full picture.

Thank you for your suggestion. That seems like a very nice JF client, but unfortunately it’s Android-only, and we do most of our watching on iPads.

I will definitely try it on my Android TV though.

I’m not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don’t show up despite being selected. I guess I’m really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.

Both will happen.

🤞. Hopefully it’s just JF getting better, of course, but that last app redesign on Plex was really rough. I had to downgrade the app to make it work well again.

Of course I can put extra work into formatting my subtitles to make them work everywhere. Sometimes they are embedded, sometimes they are an .srt file next to the video file. And I don’t want to spend time normalizing all of them. It already just works all the time on Plex, so I’ll simply wait until JF fixes the support.

Currently my biggest complain with Jellyfin and the reason I can’t switch to it completely is the bad subtitle support. There’s a bunch of clients and some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa. It’s annoying to jump clients depending on what you watch. Sometimes subtitles just don’t want to load by default and you have turn them on for each episode. And even though I have Bazaar, sometimes I still need to download subtitles, and Plex has that built-in.

Either way, I already have lifetime subscription, there’s no point in switching. At this point I’ll only switch if JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse.

For every game that breaks compatibility due to anti-cheat there’s 100s more new games that don’t have it and probably run on Linux just fine. So on average, the compatibility always goes up.
