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.

@hallomonster Als dein Bild vorhin in meiner Timeline auftauchte, hatte ich genau die passende Hintergrundmusik dazu. Dachte zuerst das kommt von deinem post.
For a friend at work, today.

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

@lucaslove Oh, wow. My brain has been secretly inserting that “r” whenever I've seen a post (and I'm still catching up on the podcast).

@PixelProphecy I personally love the "Crash in progress…"

"We haven't just crashed. No, we're right in the middle of it!"

@MrLovenstein So you can rubik’s cube yourself out of a bad situation.
