I've rewritten my #Console8 logo player -also works on #AgonLight - and updated the video file for 2 reasons. 1. it was a bit long playing the whole thing, and 2. I wanted to play a higher resolution video, covering as much of the screen as possible. With a bit of video editing (cutting and cropping to make the most of the logo at the end), plus taking advantage of the VDP code for both decompression and bitmap expansion, this is what my boot sequence looks like. I've left the logo to linger a little, but that's optional and a quick change to the script.

FPGA-PlayStation

Just discovered that Taki Udon's FPGA-based #PlayStation is finally out and apparently it's the best way to play #PS1 #games right now, real #hardware accuracy without the original #console degrading over time. This is what #retrogaming #preservation actually looks like, not remasters, not subscriptions, just proper #FPGA tech doing the work. Huge win for players.
