Long-Covid: The Lands Between
I post mostly about games, retro-tech and dev topics. Sometimes I write about fatherhood, sometimes I rant about politics. A few posts will be in German. I promise not to post or boost memes unless I really cannot help myself.

The latest 3.14d firmware for my Ultimate 64 Elite ran into trouble updating the WiFi modem, failing with:
> Could not set ESP32 to download mode
As the release notes mention, rerunning the updater resolves this. Applying update_v3.14d.u64 a second time fixed it. Reading the README is worthwhile. :P
One other change: the latest version no longer auto-detects the PAL region, resulting in grayscale video. I've updated my internal Wiki accordingly.
If you are having difficulty recompiling ffmpeg in order to address the current vulnerability, you can simply download the linked binaries (contain all external libs), which are compatible with most modern operating systems.

You can remove them, once the regular packages are available or got backported.
@Tijn OCD alert. I just compared the past 4 covers, and the logo top/left always has a different size and position. *short panic breaths*
So my template only matches Krondor, and isn't really a template.
@Tijn Morning! On the DGC mastodon about page https://dosgame.club/about a png with alpha is used: https://dosgame.club/system/site_uploads/files/000/000/002/@2x/fd82965c386f9948.png - it's not full quality, but good enough for use on the cover art.
I went ahead and made a template for you: https://serialkiller.org/flow/pics/template-cover.png
Oh, one last thing: we're currently putting together our podcast episode on pool & snooker games for MS-DOS and could really use an expert or enthusiast.
Are you really into pool & snooker for DOS and would love to talk to us about it? Please reach out, we have a guest slot available for the upcoming episode!
💾 NEW PODCAST💾 Remember when back in 2015 SkyNet took over Los Angeles? What a bummer that was, huh. Luckily Bethesda has a game in which you can do something about it.
The Terminator: Future Shock (1995) is a first-person shooter that has more of a narrative-focus than was common in shooters at the time. You can also control several vehicles. A very forward-thinking game, but is it fun to play?
Let's find out!
