what the fuck

Oh shit

#

This is awesome actually

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 1:04 AM

dang

#

~~aren't the tracks identical except for the credits lol~~

cinder kettle Jul 8, 2025, 1:04 AM

#

if OoT was so good why isn't there anothe-

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 1:05 AM

#

ok so seems like this is based on the NA soundtrack release

#

based on the fact it has less tracks than OoT 64 lol

solemn salmon Jul 8, 2025, 1:05 AM

#

well i guess there's still hope for wwhd then

#

lol

#

if they're going to add oot 3d

#

as a completely separate release

#

we got ocarina of time twice before one majora's mask

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

silent delta ok so seems like this is based on the NA soundtrack release

ok wait no it's a little different

#

somehow it still has the same amount of tracks but they split up the ocarina tracks and removed an equal amount of other songs

#

idk at least some song was removed

foggy hound Jul 8, 2025, 1:08 AM

#

Weird addition

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

ok looks like the difference between this and the other is removing "Ocarina Songs" but adding Windmill Hut

compact bluff Jul 8, 2025, 1:10 AM

#

If this means I finally get an extendable version of the Ocarina of Time title theme, I'll take it

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 1:11 AM

#

silent delta ok looks like the difference between this and the other is removing "Ocarina Son...

wait no it's still here

#

for whatever reason they swapped places

#

so yep, it's just completely identical to the promo CD they released in NA

rocky pebble Jul 8, 2025, 1:39 AM

#

HOLY SHIT OoT3D PEAK????

#

Not bc of it itself the music is nearly identical but like 1% better but REMAKES ARE BACK ON THE TABLE BABYYYY

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 1:58 AM

#

oh yeah it's pretty funny how End Credits 2 is like

the only staff credits song with a thumbnail that actually credits the staff

#

even if it's just the producers who technically aren't like
as directly involved in making the game as the rest of the staff

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

solemn salmon well i guess there's still hope for wwhd then

also its hard to tell for WWHD still tbh

#

because that one only got like
a really small soundtrack selection

#

it only had 50 songs

#

i do need to check if MM3D changed any of the songs because otherwise there's a chance they decide to release MM3D as covering both itself and the original

civic stag Jul 8, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

It absolutely did

#

Everybody loves to talk about how they slashed the heavy reverb of the original for the remake

#

Astral Observatory being a favorite example

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

damn chronically online people strike again Kapar

civic stag Jul 8, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

Well tbf that one song does sound noticeably worse in 3D

compact bluff Jul 8, 2025, 2:43 AM

#

What about Star Fox 64 3D? I'm assuming the music is different from the original in that remake also?

heavy hedge Jul 8, 2025, 3:02 AM

#

I guess because the soundtrack did differ ever so slightly, and it wasn’t just new song additions, did they feel the need to add the remake huh

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

well mostly it's just because they already made the soundtrack years ago

#

and because of that it's missing a few songs

dusk ravine Jul 8, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

Why didn’t they also do another remake at the same time

#

Zero mission moment

loud juniper Jul 8, 2025, 4:35 AM

#

Remind me, is the Fire Temple's music completely different?

silent delta Jul 8, 2025, 5:49 AM

somehow it's only now that I realize the mini dungeon theme from wind water is basically the same song as the one used for the deku tree dungeon in oot

A lot of the official playlists feels lacking in general

The Boss Battles one is pretty bad in that it only had like one song per game

Which is egregious when you consider just how many games have multiple boss themes

I feel the same way. I find the music app to be a pretty nice bonus for the Switch Online. I wanted an 'official' way to listen to Nintendo music for years. And all the issues I do have with the app aren't huge.

civic stag Jul 13, 2025, 7:07 PM

#

Exactly

#

I know it's not anything up to snuff with other music services but I also don't need it to be? If it was I wouldn't be using it in the same way?

compact bluff Jul 13, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

It plays game music, and we get (mostly) consistent updates. That's all I really need it to do.
The themed playlists and the 'Extend To...' features I consider nice bonuses

red ginkgo Jul 13, 2025, 8:42 PM

#

nintendo music is good when you realize the service is called Nintendo Switch Online

#

anything that isn’t switch related is a neat bonus!

#

of course it isn’t perfect but, they didn’t have to do this

civic stag Jul 13, 2025, 8:45 PM

#

Unfortunately that's not quite that simple because they did go on a YouTube witch hunt

If it was just additive content then maybe, but they actively tried to erase the competition

The degree to which it was kind of was though

It's clear Nintendo wants this to be the definitive music listening experience, regardless of how good they've done at pushing that specific goal

Why would they not when several of those soundtracks have actual, physical retail releases?

#

Not to say they weren't doing it beforehand, mind, but it's the sort of thing that I feel is inevitable when you have plans to offer these soundtracks in some form to others

#

Nintendo Music simply adds another reason for them to hunt down reuploads

#

Though I feel that certain franchises and games are hit by it more than most

compact bluff Jul 13, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

Smash Bros. soundtracks seem like the ones that get hit the hardest

loud juniper Jul 13, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

Mostly those that received physical soundtrack releases, particularly NIPPON COLUMBIA releases which have more or less been the majority of Nintendo soundtrack releases that aren't Intelligent Systems or Monolithsoft

civic stag Jul 13, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

I can't quite understand your tone so I'm sorry if I'm misreading, but I am in agreement with you on this

#

Nintendo Music isn't just a bonus, it's a replacement

#

For non-Nintendo controlled uploads of their music

#

It's not a very good one, nor are they stamping out other uploads at all basically, but that's definitely how they would see it

loud juniper Jul 13, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

I never really treated it as a "bonus"

civic stag Jul 13, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

Because they tried to do so and made such a small impact they gave up

loud juniper Jul 13, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

As for treating it as a replacement... I would probably see it from the other angle instead

#

See it for the service that it provides, not the one it tries to usurp

#

As for the impact of stamping out non-official uploads...

#

I would dare say that is in part the tenacity of the collective community

#

They've been fighting the fight for years

#

and the amount of people who hear about this stuff and maybe also then start to contribute themselves - especially in the wake of notable channels that get nuked for it - only grows with time

#

I do feel like some games are much bigger targets overall

#

Particularly anything involving IntSys

#

And I feel like ban waves happen in particular when they gear up to release a soundtrack for a physical release

#

rare as they may be

#

Smash is a trickier case, but I imagine the swaths of copyright they have to deal with just getting the songs to appear in the franchise is why the big N chooses to strike them hard

#

but idk, I'm rambling in the morning and need to sleep

#

can't say I'm fully aware, but my two cents are on the table for you

loud juniper Jul 13, 2025, 9:18 PM

#

civic stag It's clear Nintendo wants this to be the definitive music listening experience, ...

It would probably take a lot of time and resources they don't have to make a definitive library at launch, that's just simply not possible

silent delta Jul 13, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

I've noticed that the songs they add often fit in at least one of three categories
it's a switch game or NSO game and they're cross promoting it (Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4)
it's a soundtrack they already made before (SMG, OoT3D) so the don't put effort into including missing songs from it
none of the above for some reason but is developed in-house so they kept the songs in their archives (nintendogs, brain age)
often it's first two above anything else

#

so I think Smash is only getting added to Nintendo Music after it gets added to Nintendo Classics first

loud juniper Jul 13, 2025, 9:47 PM

#

There are also way too many licenses and IPs for later entries

#

and too many composers

#

... not to mention, the sheer amount of songs in Ultimate alone numbers over 1100

compact bluff Jul 13, 2025, 10:08 PM

#

Smash 64 and Melee were developed by HAL and only have Nintendo IPs

#

Those two, in theory, would be the most plausible

It was never supposed to be in the first place

it was a bug that causes the second half to not play where it should have been

how you hear it in the album and here is actually how it's supposed to sound - two loops of each verse

#

I do wonder...

Did they do this to pad out the length?

#

Or are they gearing up to make playlists out of the Mario Kart cups?

loud juniper it was a *bug* that causes the second half to not play where it should have been

Though in the original game, the new section happened after the 64th loop of the original section

#

Which feels like too much of a coincidence to be a bug

loud juniper Jul 15, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

heavy hedge Which feels like too much of a coincidence to be a bug

Ultimately, it was a bug, though. Apparently something in the game's code is what causes the error for the first section to loop 64 times before playing the second

#

And the thing is, who would sit on that screen for a whole hour, burning in their CRTs just to listen to a second verse? You would only do that if you knew it was a thing

#

How would you even track the loops?

terse nova Jul 22, 2025, 3:14 PM

#

unfortunately we live in the modern copyright hell where like 2 seconds of a sample or even a similar melody can get you copyright dinged

#

to get earthbound on this app, nintendo would need to not only get permission from all three earthbound composers but also get licensing for every sample used (which will more than likely be very difficult in the case of the Beatles samples)

#

I played Zapper games and Super Scope games on real hardware

#

I also played with a Wiimote, it's not the same thing.

#

On a Wiimote you just guess the aiming based on the direction rather than actually aiming the screen

#

it's just more accurate than a gyro because it relies on an IR camera

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

novel pollen On a Wiimote you just guess the aiming based on the direction rather than actual...

I assume from the sounds of this that you're talking about using it on its own, without any attachments

#

Which, again, fair enough

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

the attachments don't do anything in regards to pointing

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:48 PM

#

Ah, I think I get you now

#

Due to the way the tech works, it can vary greatly depending on the screen

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

yes

#

or rather, it works independently of the screen

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

Just the unfortunate reality of how light gun games work...

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

it's still pretty reliable, but you don't aim at the screen

#

and that's one thing that gyro pointing and IR pointing has in common

#

but... just because gyro pointing is worse doesn't mean we shouldn't use it for light gun games

#

that's the only way to be close without using completely different controls like touch screen and mouse

#

and my point is to be able to play however you like

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

I fear that it's too easy to completely disorient the gyro

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

I played Splatoon 3 on Switch 2 there is a difference

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

Even if it is more reliable on Switch 2... That only matters if you go through the calibration beforehand

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

it's not THAT easy to disorient it

#

well yeah calibration is needed

#

recalibration is needed too

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

See, the thing with Splatoon is that you are moving a camera, not a pointer

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:53 PM

#

it's the same thing.

#

how it works for Splatoon is also how it works for pointers

#

Disorientation is just as noticeable when it happens

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

Where you aim remains dead centre on the screen in Splatoon, though

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

yes but that doesn't matter

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

It does for game feel

#

Mechanically they may work, but it's more than just a shared control scheme

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:55 PM

#

yes but game feel doesn't matter based on the problem you're talking about

#

disorientation exists regardless of the game feel

#

The way it works is still literally the same overall

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

All this just to play Duck Hunt?

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

yes

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

I feel like this is why they haven't done it

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

no

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

Too much effort for too little use

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

They just didn't do it because it's Nintendo they love to wait

#

Making a gyro pointer isn't hard.

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

And? What else could you use it for?

#

If you develop it for these two, maybe three games only those with a subscription have access to

#

Kind of a waste if you ask me

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 8:59 PM

#

If you knew of all the other things that needs more effort than a gyro pointer that they did to certain games on NSO you really wouldn't say that.

#

and those things are specialized to a single game

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:01 PM

#

... you're talking about the Sin and Punishment translation, aren't you

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:01 PM

#

no

#

That one is effortless.

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:01 PM

#

oh pfff, never mind me then

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:01 PM

#

It's just a texture replacement.

#

I'm talking about stuff that is way more complicated than that

#

They added all e-Reader content to F-Zero GP Legend's japanese version (it wasn't done on Wii U)

#

In the second Fire Emblem game on GBA, in the japanese version, you could import a save from the previous game that's Japan only which required two GBAs to link

#

They made a hack that bypassed the linking entirely to import the save

#

That stuff requires actual reverse engineering of the game

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

Huh. Wonder if they did that for Golden Sun

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

they didn't

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

RIP

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

Reverse engineering a game is harder than making a gyro pointer

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

And yet they still won't do it, curious

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

and then add the fact that just about every game on NSO have anti epilepsy hacks

#

less flashing

#

those are not always automated stuff

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

Wasn't that removed on the VC Wii versions of those Zapper titles? Or am I mistaken?

#

I ask because I know why the flash was there in the original game

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

Wii U did remove the flashing, yeah

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

Ah, Wii U did but not Wii

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

I say Wii U because they never released those Zapper games on Wii VC.

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

Ah, that would explain

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

My point anyway is that NSO emulation is not just putting ROMs

#

There's a whole lot more work that most people don't notice

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:08 PM

#

considering things like World-e in SMA4...

#

I don't find that surprising

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:08 PM

#

And I can't even say there's any less work for N64

#

despite how terrible the emulation is

#

which is the saddest part

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

If they did do gyro aiming... I wonder how it would be received

#

Aside from actually programming the pointer, what would they need to do?

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

emulate the Zapper itself of course

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

Remind the player each time that you need a gyro enabled controller?

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

no

#

well, you can

#

but you can just make it seamlessly work with gyro, or mouse, or touch screen tbh

#

but these are user interface concerns and that's pretty easy to deal with

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

I feel like they would have to stop you if no controllers connected at that moment have gyro enabled... which might be the case for those playing with the NES or SNES NSO controllers

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

you have a point

#

but again, not difficult to solve

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

Mmm.

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

The alternative is that it asks to change the controller

#

with that menu where you resync controllers

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:15 PM

#

I was mostly thinking about this relative to how Bravely Default HD is one of the few games I own which will stop you from entering the new minigames until you pull out both Joy-Con 2s (because they use both mouse pointers at once)

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:15 PM

#

anyway not difficult to deal with

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:15 PM

#

novel pollen with that menu where you resync controllers

That would pretty much be it, yeah

#

I just feel like if they did do gyro aiming, they should use it for more than just Nintendo Classics

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

Nintendo is the king of stuff that's only useful once

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

... I mostly feel this way because it is a standard feature of the PlayStation UI

#

when typing, you can enable gyro

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

Like, look at the IR camera on the Joy Con 1

#

look at the amount of games that uses it

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:18 PM

#

I have one of them, funnily enough...

#

I need to play Ring Fit more often

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:18 PM

#

You have that logic where everything has to be useful everywhere

#

That's not how Nintendo has been thinking

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

I doubt that was how the IR was conceptualised on the Joy-Con R, though

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

no, I have a literal quote from Nintendo about that

#

With Switch, we prioritized implementing something that could be used with any kind of software, such as the ability to play in both TV mode and handheld mode, rather than tasking software developers to create gameplay experiences that incorporate the hardware's unique features.

#

Rather than leveraging hardware features to create something unique, developers can now choose which software technologies they want to incorporate to make their games stand out. My honest opinion as a software developer is that just because a new hardware feature is added, it doesn't necessarily mean that various problems will be solved or that new kinds of gameplay experiences will be created one after another.

#

I am quoting the Ask the Developer Vol 16 about Switch 2

#

and they were talking about the Switch 1 here

#

this is Nintendo admitting that yeah the Wii & DS were cool but forcing gimmicks wasn't the best thing

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

I don't feel like it's the most apt comparison, if only because the subject we're talking about with making a gyro pointer for maybe one or two pieces of software is, IMO, slightly different to making the actual hardware features

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

My point is that the hardware features inside are not forced on Nintendo's devs to use

#

they do however they like with them

#

if they don't want to use some of them, they don't have to anymore

#

so my point here, if they want to make a gyro pointer just for one game, they don't have to worry about it and they can just do it

#

and anyway, they probably programmed so many gyro pointers that they can just reuse code

#

As I said, it's not a big deal

#

they don't need to justify the costs here

#

and that's what your argument is

#

and I have many examples where the costs are not necessarily justified and still did it

#

so, again, if they wanna do gyro pointer just for 4 Zapper games and 4 Super Scope games, there is nothing that prevents them to do so

#

they emulated the SNES Mouse

#

and the SNES Multi Tap

#

I can speak for myself, I can prove it that they did and is part of the SNES emulator on NSO

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

...

#

why'd I bring this subject up

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

Or else I just do not understand your argument

#

the only thing I understood is that you think it's not worth doing some things just for a handful of games

#

and imo Nintendo is precisely that kind of company that can do things just for one game

#

We did initially go about how gyro pointers are worse than Wiimote

#

and yes, I agree, they are

#

...doesn't mean they shouldn't do it when it's the only choice that works for most users

#

maybe they should release a custom Zapper for the Switch

#

but they can't force it

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

I still can't say I am a firm believer that Nintendo would go out of their way to make the Zapper and Super Scope games work, though this has less to do with whether or not they could and more about whether or not they should

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

I mean I do think they will eventually do it for the Zapper

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

The effort to get that done may not be that large, but would it be worth undertaking at all?

#

Resources are more than just money...

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:38 PM

#

to me it is worth undertaking

#

I can tell the NSO emulators are under a limited budget

#

A limited budget doesn't mean "Zapper games are not worth doing"

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:39 PM

#

Time and labour are part of it, too.

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:39 PM

#

yes

#

Well they spent time doing things for specific games all the time

#

I can tell, I have datamined those emulators

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:40 PM

#

For what it would ultimately result in, could they justify expending the resources to go for it? Only they know the true reason... All we can do is speculate

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:40 PM

#

I have a huge question to the Game Boy emulator devs on why they did not emulate the IR sensor of the GBC and why they preferred hacking Pokémon TCG instead

#

or how the Game Boy Advance emulator is somehow more accurate than mGBA

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

... my only guess, assuming the two are related, is that the resolution of the IR is different between it and the Joy-Con R, but idk

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

no it's not a camera

#

it's just IR LED and stupid IR detection

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

What's even the function in question?

#

Is it a day/night thing?

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

no, it's to communicate between two GBCs

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

Ah.

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

wirelessly

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

Wonder if they just wanted to make the experience a little more seamless when doing multiplayer

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

Well I don't get why because they could have made it seamless without doing that

#

and in a way that works across all games that uses it

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:46 PM

#

... I do wonder if it is easy to program emulation of those functions...

#

Well, regardless...

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:47 PM

#

now sure maybe it's simpler via hacking instead

#

but that doesn't really explain everything

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

novel pollen I mean I do think they will eventually do it for the Zapper

What would one even look like...?

#

... must admit

#

I thought that sentence meant you thought they would eventually make a zapper attachment

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

no I didn't mean that

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

but that probably was not what you meant

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:49 PM

#

I just mean emulating the Zapper

#

I did mean they could make a Zapper accessory but they cannot force the user to own one

#

so the problem is still the same

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:50 PM

#

... I doubt they would make a zapper accessory

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:50 PM

#

I don't think they will

#

Just make no mistake I don't think they will do that

#

but I do think emulating the Zapper is a matter of time

#

and actually worth doing

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:50 PM

#

I feel like if they do, they should do Super Scope, too

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:51 PM

#

Well on Wii U they didn't do Super Scope for whatever reason

#

even though that thing is even easier to emulate than the Zapper

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:51 PM

#

Or at least give us, like, Yoshi's Safari or whatever else used Super Scope...

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:52 PM

#

novel pollen even though that thing is even easier to emulate than the Zapper

Just to be clear, did they use similar technology for actually detecting your aim?

#

(the ones which today's monitors would absolutely be incompatible with)

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:52 PM

#

no, it's more like on PS1

#

which is still incompatible with today's monitors

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:53 PM

#

Oh, huh.

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:53 PM

#

it is still a light gun

#

but it can tell which pixel you're aiming

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:53 PM

#

Just capturing things differently, huh?

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:53 PM

#

did you ever wonder about why the gun on PS1 needed to plug the video out through it?

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:54 PM

#

I didn't even realise that was a thing

#

I never owned any of the Guncons

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:54 PM

#

well you do need to plug the yellow video cable through it

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:54 PM

#

(my Time Crisis experience is mostly arcade...)

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:55 PM

#

Time Crisis on arcade surely does the exact same thing

#

it's just all done for you so you don't see it

#

but the video out is actually so the aim direction can calibrate itself

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:55 PM

#

Would explain the giant cables presumably hiding smaller cables for both gun input and video out

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

because the Super Scope does not have that

#

and asks for calibration at boot

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

I see, I see

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

You know how a CRT displays an image?

#

it's a beam that scans top to bottom, left to right

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

... I think this conversation has enlightened me on how the G'AIM'E is supposed to work

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

novel pollen it's a beam that scans top to bottom, left to right

Thanks, Slow Mo Guys, for teaching me this - and how thr NES Zapper works

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

Well on a technical level, what matters is that the beam is where it is the brightest on the moment

#

when it draws one pixel, on that moment it's bright

#

well on a light gun that isn't a Zapper, it can see which pixel is being drawn on the screen based on the light it gets, based on the time between the top and the pixel it's aiming at

#

Essentially getting X and Y position

#

and that's why you don't need flashing white objects anymore

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 9:59 PM

#

Oh, so that's why the tech doesn't work with a modern screen, huh? Because the pixels remain on instead of relying on a human's persistence of vision to build the image

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 9:59 PM

#

because it can just tell where the beam actually is

#

yeah

#

well the fun part about Super Scope games is like

#

Nintendo can just hack the games to force a calibration that always works

#

it's not hard because all of them uses the exact same Super Scope code

#

and you can just always tell which X,Y position it's aiming at

#

that's it, really

#

that's the "difficult" part and it's not that difficult

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:02 PM

#

loud juniper ... I think this conversation has enlightened me on how the G'AIM'E is supposed ...

For the record, this here is a light gun game thing on Kickstarter, using AI apparently to register where you're aiming (and apparently it scales up to HUGE screen sizes if you somehow have those)

#

comes with Time Crisis by default

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

AI is probably used to tell the position based on the camera VS game screen

#

The Sinden Light Gun uses a different process where there's a border all around the screen and uses that to tell where it is aiming at

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

Your explanation of how the old tech worked got me thinking about the G'AIM'E as I never actually looked into how it actually works, but have been following the project for a while

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

Well you're talking to a SNES dev familiar with the peripherals

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:05 PM

#

all I knew was that the G'AIM'E was AI powered, but didn't really have the insight on what it was actually using it for

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:05 PM

#

Well the problem is that LCD screens just don't have a beam anymore

#

some DO though, and sometimes it actually works on light guns

#

but it's old stuff

#

on the Zapper though it's way less complex and way more dumb

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:06 PM

#

I can definitely say this conversation has taught me something about how old light gun tech worked (and how the new AI-powered light gun is likely working)

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:06 PM

#

novel pollen on the Zapper though it's way less complex and way more dumb

Hence the flashes, right?

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

it's even dumber than that

#

because in reality there's like one white square per frame on everything you can aim

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

Again, the Slow Mo Guys vid on the Zapper showed me a lot

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

and then there's a delay on when the Zapper sees it and communicates back to the NES on what it saw

#

and the delay timing tells it what it saw

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:09 PM

#

it also needs a frame of black before anything to prevent cheating just by holding the zapper up to something like white paper, apparently

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:09 PM

#

on Wii U what they do is that when you fire the gun the screen freezes for a few frames to avoid the flashing

#

but honestly, freezing the screen to avoid showing stuff it shouldn't isn't even new to Nintendo

#

The Super Game Boy is such a good example of that

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:10 PM

#

Huh.

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:10 PM

#

Did you wonder how the Game Boy sends border graphics to the SNES

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

novel pollen on Wii U what they do is that when you fire the gun the screen freezes for a few...

Done through the emu or through the ROM?

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

emu

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

I see, I see

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

novel pollen Did you wonder how the Game Boy sends border graphics to the SNES

Oh, is there a whole buncha weird data being shown on the screen as it happens?

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

yes

#

but before that, the GB game tells the SNES to not render anything new on screen until told otherwise

#

There are two lines of communication to the SNES

#

one of them is just for short bursts, where telling the SNES not to render the screen is useful for, and just general commands

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:13 PM

#

I assume there's ways of seeing whatever's behind the curtains, per se

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:13 PM

#

and then it uses the screen to send a large amount of data

#

yes

#

the funniest part is still Space Invaders for SGB though lol

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:15 PM

#

oh lord, that sounds disgusting

#

how could you fit Space Invaders on a Game Boy...

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:15 PM

#

well imagine fitting a SNES game in a GB game

#

and actually run it on a SGB

#

that's what they did

#

and Nintendo allowed that

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:21 PM

#

Just took a look at a video of it... Wild.

#

I still say that Game Boy Space Invaders is disgusting, though. Those tiny, tiny sprites...

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

at least it's not the Atari 2600 version

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

True...

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

it's still a decent handheld version

#

but yeah if you have a SGB you'd be playing the superior version

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

Years before they offered a separate SNES cartridge version, from what I hear

novel pollen Jul 22, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

yes

#

it has more options

#

on GB it was gutted out a bit

loud juniper Jul 22, 2025, 10:37 PM

#

Like if they added Kirby Air Ride on Nintendo Music, does that mean it will appear on NSO Gamecube?

civic stag Jul 29, 2025, 1:02 PM

#

It's probably the opposite in this case

#

Because it was being added to SNES NC, they added it to NM simultaneously

#

We got Luigi's mansion before the switch 2 was even out though didn't we

#

So, who knows

solemn salmon Jul 29, 2025, 1:08 PM
