i found this 3ds project online in 2019 (which seems to be dead as far as i know), which had him modifying a cartridge, and experimenting the cart port to see how it works, which later he created an possible chance of being able to use it like a usb slot, and with that custom cartridge he can use it as an transfer/capture video device.

Sadly i don't really see anymore progress, except the last time i tried to ask "nothing on the project yet?" he said "Still hanging there trying to get some result" so maybe the project may resurface one day.

It did say on the bottom on his usb project on his website to let him know about any progress he could make, so I guess you can ask him on his twitter.

It's an interesting concept. The cartridge port is controlled directly by the arm9 as far as I know, so something pretty hacky would need to be done to make streaming work.
hmm well it could theoretically work, i hope that one day someone would help him or maybe make their own project based on this

    The PS2 was quite a good console for its time. Imagine how many people in Spain are still using one LOL.

    @K3Nv2, Exactly. Take note of the Switch, for example. Its underpowered compared to how older tech was capable of doing just about anything.

    @K3Nv2, Not gonna lie, about half of its game library was shovelware like its counterpart, the Wii.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, and the other half were just 1st party games

    @Xdqwerty, The Wii U was essentially an early Switch, before the Switch was a thing.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They already had the technology but the price to performance wasn't there

    @SylverReZ, and before third party companies were able to make games for the newest nintendo console

    Older systems I love some of the games but without filters and enhanced graphics they are difficult to enjoy

    That thing needs all the bandaids lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think my favorite PS1 enhancement is sub pixel precision, helps get rid of some of those wobbly polygons lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, By default, the polygons are filtered with differing to simulate depth, which doesn't make them clearer.

    Which GPU was hot in the ps1 era psi besides all of them

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There are ways to disable this by creating cheat codes, but this requires knowledge of the PS1 hardware.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I miss the old game shark books you could just go to Walmart and buy now it's instant ban or some punishefor using cheats

    @Psionic Roshambo, the filters i hate the most are the bilinear ones
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @K3Nv2, when the PS1 was out I had the PS1 the N64 and on PC I had the Voodoo 2 and glide looked soooo nice at the time 🥰
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Biliniar filters are OK but brz is better I like SuperEagle but out of all of them xbrz is probably the most computationaly expensive
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Emulation is the way to go for so many reasons NES get rid of flicker by turning off the sprite per line limit. Cheats? Ken Batocera is your friend almost every console has cheats in it
