I wasn't specifically talking about Majora's Mask.

I don't know how to explain how important emulation accuracy is to me, but I will try my best.

1. Many Super Mario 64 hacks can't run on a real n64 because they make inaccurate hardware assumptons. Doesn't affect my enjoyment when I'm playing it on the emulator at all.

2. Games like Pokemon Snap and the 64dd games are unplayable on less accurate consoles. I don't know much about those, but I can tell you it runs Ura Zelda perfectly.

3. Accuracy in emulation allows for tool assisted replays to be run on an actual console. Again, what does this have to do with enjoying playing a game?

4. Although meant for the snes, http://byuu.org/bsnes/accuracy">this article should explain some things. Pity it's incomplete though.

 While your points are valid, I honestly don't see how they have anything to do with whether or not somebody should play a game on Project64.  Maybe I misread, but I don't recall anybody saying they were trying to make a hack or a TAS, just playing the damn game.

I do admit that I am very technical minded. My laptop dual-boots with Debian. I hope I didn't come of as a "Stop having fun" guy. Also, what do you mean by "URA Zelda"? I thought that didn't exist, unless you are referring to the master quest of ocarina of time.

Also, if you've got a nintendo wii it's pretty cheap on the virtual console.  I emulate it on project64 (legally... I bought it on the virtual console then there's a way to extract the rom from that)

The problem with project64, and most nintendo 64 emulators in general is...how darned inaccurate they are.

Personally, I'm waiting for Cen64 to reach beta stage, as it will eventually set a standard in accuracy that should have been reached years ago.

So Slovak doesn't even have subtitles for the special editions?

You do know that blue milk reduces force capability, right? Why serve us such poison?

You can start by listing what you have, and in what language(s)

TAS - some episodes are really great, but most of them are just too childish, the animation is full of errors, the score is repetitive and actually annoying...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Filmation. ;-) 

It could be argued that the world of Filmation would have been even more wonderful if Hallmark didn't destroy everything except copies of the episodes themselves, and standard definition copies at that.

Oh God no. You're joking, right AntcuFaalb? PLEASE tell me you're joking...

...Goodbye Trident. I don't know why you want to leave the forums, but please let it be a non-fatal reason. :(

^Oy, the sensory overload! Now I know how Ray Milland's character in this movie felt every time he sat down to watch TV!

The sensory overload isn't *that* bad, and I would know, I'm the autistic one :P. To be fair, I wouldn't continue watching that after a few minutes. Still, pretty awesome.

Out of curiosity, are there any multistandard tv's or projectors that support 1080p or higher and can run interlaced content natively (no deinterlacing necessary)?

Explain. Better yet, don't. I don't want to know about your sex life.

Since the theatrical cut Blu-ray is a DNR mess, does anyone know if there exists a restoration of the theatrical cut using a de-greened recut of the extended version?  If not, that's something I'd like to tackle.

There are a couple scenes in the theatrical that aren't in the extended. Gimli's "These are the elves. We should go back." comes to mind.

I never had bear in my life. Then again, I'm underage.

"VHS quality is good enough"? VHS quality is good enough!?!

No. It doesn't matter what it is, it should be released in the best quality possible.

1. What is a TC?

2. The quality is lower than dvd quality, which means that unless this "TC" of yours is very special, the opening crawl might be the only important thing here.

3. What do you mean by "forms for Episode VII"?

4. Um...welcome?

The answers I got from Happycube:

1. I hacked up a video capture card to work as a direct ADC, then capture the raw RF signal from a test point on the Laserdisc player. This bypasses the signal processing/video output electronics, while the player itself works normally.

The raw signal is then demodulated into (analog) audio and video, then framing and comb filtering/color decoding are done in software. http://imgur.com/a/7VNff shows each stage of the process.

2-3. I think the X0 would win in either case, at least until the analog->digital conversion is upgraded. This is the best direct comparison I could come up with between the X0 and ld-decode (using a CLD-V2800, a rather low end player!): http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/128845

If my tinkering with an RF amp circuit is successful, the gap might close a little bit. Eventually I may cook up a circuit using the LPCLink2 (with the same LPC4370 chip found in the AirSpy), which I suspect will give better results.

4. Not much at all, I need good quality VHS RF samples (and/or the time to hack up a VHS deck, I've got a couple of Panasonics to butcher sooner or later). Also note that dealing with Macrovision will not be a priority.

I think you could get away with it.

I actually saw one of those a couple years ago at some state fair...and yes, I did wonder how they got away with it.

First thing I would do is change the name of the company so that I could advertise my films freely.

... Mr Lee wasn't a Doctor Who fan.

Do you have any conclusive evidence of that?

Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda said (with emphasis from me):

So are there any prevailing theories as to what exactly this is? ... it's not a bad dub - compared to the hundreds of EIAJ tapes I've transfered, this one is pretty good.  It looks first generation.

I have a new theory, it's strange, but...

                                                    Master

                                                /                \

                                            /                        \

                                        /                                \

                                VHS                                      EIAJ

It might have been a prototype for the initial rental vhs release.

Did anyone notice the hidden message in my rhyming post?

Waiting til marriage for sex is not normal sexuality.

That is correct.

So is the idea of "sexual purity" nonsense? Will the world eventually come to a place where everyone has sex with everything?

That. Was. Amazing.

Aside from problems others mentioned, my main complaint is that the audio is out of sync. In VLC I set it to -200ms. That was for the main part of the preview though. For the trailer, I had to set it close to +200ms.

Still, that was a pretty amazing experience.

I have a poem to write

A Hive-Mind is pretty

Much like a wild kitty

Nobody is safe from this foe

Oh who can withstand

The nuclear band

Assimilating at tide low

Much was said about the war that followed

Unfortunately the truth was immediately swallowed by a

Society of "handsome individuals"

Even to this day rumors are heard

Dat the leaders of the opposition fled like a bird

Ender was disappointed that it could not duel

Not one of its foes

Don't get on their toes

Even though their defeat is guaranteed in the night

Right now, none of us desire to fight.
