Another thing I wanted to share out of the stuff on my Switch:

I've been using emulators since forever, but this is still, by far, the best emulation collection release I have ever seen. The whole interface is amazing. You're comfortably in your room as quiet ambient sounds come in from outside (in day you hear cars quietly passing by and birds) with game posters on the walls and such and a shelf full of Genesis/Megadrive games that it actually puts IN a console shown on screen, then it plays on a TV on screen. (It can be set to load games directly in fullscreen which I recommend, but it was neater to show it merely zooming in on the virtual TV for the clip.)

I finally found a multi-emulator, an emulator that has many emulator cores within it, that has a game screen that TalkBack can get image descriptions from! And everything seems to be labeled well, too!

Did you know that on the Intel 8088, "IP" is not a real register?

That's right, nothing on the CPU tracks the position of the currently executing instruction.

Internally, there is a PC register that tracks the next byte to be fetched.

When a return address needs to be pushed to the stack, a special microcode instruction "CORR" subtracts the length of the instruction queue in bytes from the value of PC.

When you edit the value of PC in MartyPC, you'll see the IP "register" update accordingly. If you want to make a manual jump, you can change PC to where you want to go and then click the little "Flush" button to flush the PIQ. You're then ready to start executing from that location.

I'll probably let you edit IP directly and automate the flush for you.

If you like racing games on the #SteamDeck, then its hard to beat #Nintendo and #MarioKart for that fine balance between skill and pure arcade fun!

It emulates beautifully through Ryujinx (or Yuzu) if you want to play the objectively better Switch port. Though the Wii U version also plays perfectly via Cemu. The best game for #emulation

I was just reminded of how well local multiplayer works for it, and it reminded me you're hard pressed to find a more fun #racing game

The PCSX2 team today has decided to join many other excellent free and open-source software projects in creating a Liberapay as a companion to our existing GitHub Sponsors. This helps to keep the lights on and gives our team room to polish and innovate on PCSX2 so our shared goal of preservation can continue well into the future. If you use a FOSS application or library, we highly recommend checking Liberapay to see if they're on there as well! liberapay.com/PCSX2 #foss #emulation #liberapay
