Weird-ass dream (2015-05-29)

People started to inadvertently make heads explode with direct eye contact, and the one who started it would also go blind. Turns out it was aliens messing with us all along...

Gaming & video capture ideas before I forget

Some PS1 and PS2 games tend to switch back and forth between 240p and 480i, and that can be pretty annoying when trying to capture. Looks like I'll have to get some cheap capture card (Ezcap) that treats everything as 480i. But if I want to play in the best quality (component) while recording in S-video, apparently the GunCon multi-out adapter cable thingy allows exactly that.

Also, I've always had trouble playing Tobal 2 on my Lik-Sang modded, 1st generation Japanese PS2. It just wouldn't get past the PS logo screen. Could it be the loading or smoothing settings on the PS2? Something to consider. (Update: No dice, it still won't work. But after a while of tinkering manual forced swaps with different discs at different times, Tobal 2 would start playing music. Interesting since it's not a redbook audio game!)
