Final Fantasy X International (NTSC-J PS2)
Starting into a new adventure with the completest version of the game on original hardware.
Checking out the OSSC Pro's motion adaptive deinterlacer of the new scaler mode.
Yesterdays Metroid Dread stream I started with an explanation of the Early Screw Attack Glitchless trick. 
Usually we need the Gravity Suit to get out of the water to reach the capsule containing the Screw Attack ability. 
But by using some exploits we can get the item without yet having the suit.

If a game with a cartridge's memory size larger than 2MB is attached, the console will not run the lock-on game but booting up the standalone Sonic & Knuckles game instead. 
The Sonic & Knuckles cartridge usually reads the second half of the attached ROM. As the ROM header is placed in the first half of the attached cartridge, it will not recognize it as a valid game. 
7/7

If the player inserts almost any other Mega Drive cartridge into the slot adapter, again a screen with Sonic characters and a scrolling text "No Way" appears. 
This time after pressing the A, B and C button at the same time the player gets to play only a single Special Stage without the password ability based on the serial number of the cartridge's ROM header data. 
6/x
Today we're diving back into a #BoomerShooter, but not the one you're thinking of. No instead for today's VOD we had just gotten our copy of the then newly released #BuildEngine game, #IonFury. This was such a fun return to form for #3DRealms, and aside from the quality issues on our end throughout the playthrough, the whole thing went rather smoothly.
Oh! And this marks the first VOD that used some form of branding/overlay, so welcome to the second era of our saga, the Glitch Era...
"I wanted to introduce a new kind of fear into the game, a persistent feeling of paranoia.
The Nemesis brings that on in spades.
When it disappears after the first confrontation, you live in constant dread of the next attack.
The idea is to make you feel like you're being stalked."
- Shinji Mikami, Resident Evil 3 producer, 2000

"I have always wanted to help create a video game that represented the reality and excitement of professional skateboarding."
- Tony Hawk, 1999
"If the player isn't tricked into believing that the world is real, then there's no point in making the game.
If you can captivate the player without having to trick them, then the game is worthwhile."
- Hideo Kojima, 1998
Today's stream I started with an introduction to the One Cycle Drogyga trick in Metroid Dread.
Usually it requires at least two cycles to defeat this boss, but this trick reduces it to one and therefore saves up to twenty seconds during the run.

If you attach Sonic 2 to the Sonic & Knuckles lock-on this unlocks "Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2", wherein the player can play the game using Knuckles and his abilities. 
Using these special moves, Knuckles can explore areas inaccessible with Sonic or Tails, where secrets such as extra monitors have been added.

Another try for a new PB in Metroid Dread tomorrow and a rare during the week stream, trying to play through Sonic 2 on Mega Drive.

Phew! That was a lot of #DoomII + #DoomRPG + #DRLA VODs... This is the final part of the original run. There's one more Mapset that this playthrough went through but that won't be for a bit. After this we've got some casual #Minecraft, the playthrough of #IonFury, some #StardewValley, and finally some rounds of #Kingdom before we get to that.
This was a wild playthrough, and I've honestly been itching to return to the mods now that they've been getting some updates and rebalancing and better support. It's a close second to #HideousDestructor as my favorite mod setups for Classic Doom.
