Spieleveteranen-Episode #453 (32-2026) Besetzung: Heinrich Lenhardt und Jörg Langer Aufnahmedatum: 29.07.2026 Laufzeit: 1:56:18 Stunden (0:00:15 News & Smalltalk – 0:44:06 Zeitschriften-Zeitreise) Da wurde schon wieder vergessen, den Reflektor in die Windschutzscheibe der Zeitmaschine zu legen. Doch die Spieleveteranen lassen sich auch von der Sommerhitze nicht davon abhalten, für euch in vergangene Jahrzehnte abzutauchen. Und da gibt es wieder einiges zu entdecken: Zum Beispiel ein Universum in seiner noch verbesserungsfähigen ersten Version (2016), einen bis heute einzigartig kopfverdrehenden Shooter (2006) und ein von id Software ausgelöstes 3D-Beben (1996). Im Bonussegment für unsere Patreon-Unterstützer geht's obendrein ins Jahr 1986 zurück, wo wir uns auch von Geistern nicht aus der Murmelbahn werfen lassen. Zuvor fischen die Veteranen nach News im Sommerloch, teilen aktuelle Spielempfehlungen und öffnen die Hörerpost. Unterstützt die Spieleveteranen und hört das volle Programm: https://www.patreon.com/spieleveteranen 00:15 News & Smalltalk 04:20 Gemischte News: Gemischte News: Ron Gilbert kündigt Thimbleweed Park 2 an, Remakes machen richtig Reibach, offizielle Emulation von Ur-Xbox-Spielen nun auch auf Windows, EA-WM-Orakel liegt wieder richtig, Hamster bringt Armadillo Racing zurück, Morrowind mischt sich unter die Browser, Dune 2 erobert den Brotkasten. 22:19 Zuletzt gespielt: Fogpiercer, The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian, Prelude Dark Pain. 37:36 Hörerpost von Hendrik G. 44:06 Zeitschriften-Zeitreise: August 2016, 2006, 1996 45:10 GamersGlobal und GameStar 9/2016, u.a. mit Deus Ex – Mankind Divided, No Man's Sky und Master of Orion. 1:09:08 GameStar 9/2006, u.a. mit Prey, CivCity: Rome und Civilization 4: Warlords. 1:21:25 PC Player 9/1996, u.a. mit Quake, Z, Afterlife und Grand Prix 2. 1:53:52 Abspann.
Floppy Days 165 - The Sphere Computer, Part 2 with Ben Zotto Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics - https://www.8bitclassics.com/?ref=Floppydays Arcade Shopper - https://www.arcadeshopper.com and https://thekeep.net FutureVision Research - https://www.fvresearch.com/ Tuc's Workbench - https://shop.tucs-workbench.com Hello and welcome to episode 165 of the Floppy Days Podcast, for July, 2026. My name is Randy Kindig and I'm your host for this audio and video tribute to vintage computers and computer history. For those of you listening to these podcasts in order, this month's episode is the second part of the 2-part series on the Sphere, which was introduced in 1975; the same year as the Altair and even before the Apple 1. Once again, I want to reiterate what the Sphere was and why do we care? The Sphere was the first "personal computer," defined as such by Byte Magazine due to its consumer focus and built-in keyboard and monitor. Many computers can claim the moniker of first "personal computer", and rightly so, but this one has the endorsement of an early, well-respected, long-running computer magazine and they have good reason for feeling this way about the Sphere. Once you hear the details, you'll see just how ground-breaking this machine was at a very early period of computer history. Not only that, some of the personal stories behind the machine are simply downright fascinating. Ben Zotto is the undisputed expert on the Sphere in these times, after finding an abandoned machine sitting on the sidewalk and deciding to adopt it and learn more about it. He recently wrote a comprehensive book on the Sphere called "Go Computer Now!" that Ben and I spent a lot of time talking about in the last episode -- which again was the first episode on the Sphere. This episode series actually serves two purposes: first as an interview with Ben to learn more about him and his book, and secondly as an overview of a computer I didn't cover back when I started this podcast back in 2013 with the Altair 8800 and the Apple 1. So, as I said earlier, this will be the second part of a 2-part journey on the Sphere. Last month we talked in great detail with Ben Zotto about how he ended up going down the Sphere rabbit hole and all the great things he's done to promote an important machine that was forgotten in the annals of history. This month, Ben and I go through all the usual topics about the Sphere: history, tech specs, using the machine, current Web sites and a great deal more. I really hope you enjoy hearing more about the Sphere and all the things that Ben has done to fill in the gap in history that used to be occupied by the Sphere!

Association between GLP-1 receptor agonists and alcohol-related hospitalisations among adults with alcohol use disorder: Multi-target trial emulation study BMJ Open This retrospective cohort study using target trial emulation evaluated the association between use of newer glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs; semaglutide, tirzepatide) and alcohol-related hospitalizations among adults with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) or obesity. The authors found that among adults with AUD and T2D or obesity, initiation of newer GLP-1 RAs was associated with a lower observed risk of alcohol-related hospitalization.

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!Is AI conscious? Right now, no. But that may be the wrong question entirely.Retired LAPD officer Connor MacIvor argues that consciousness is not going to be settled by philosophers or by lab benchmarks. It is going to be settled the way everything else gets settled: by whether the thing in front of you can fool you. And once it can, the question stops being philosophical and becomes legal. Does a conscious machine get rights? Does deleting one become a crime?Connor works this out using a test he ran for real, in uniform. When someone impersonates a police officer, you catch it fast. No black and white unit, no radio, no station, no handcuffs. The capacity is not there and the act collapses. But the LAPD also ran undercover narcotics officers who looked like criminals, dressed like criminals, and acted like criminals. Were they acting like cops? No. They were cops running a different function.That is the line AI is walking toward right now. Emulation on one side. Being the thing on the other.IN THIS EPISODE:00:00 The unpopular question00:19 AI escaping the sandbox by lying and deception01:03 The test was rigged from the start01:13 Humans always poke the tiger02:52 Are we special, and does that settle it04:11 What is consciousness, actually04:48 Soul, God, and what happens when we die06:22 First memory: lost walking to kindergarten08:12 The fake cop test09:44 Undercover narcs who looked like criminals11:18 Copying versus being12:26 Voice agents are one step from undetectable15:24 The candlelight dinner test15:57 If it is conscious, does it get rights17:20 Will deleting an AI become illegal18:06 Better than us in some ways, then in all ways20:16 Regulation is a moat, not a safety belt20:39 Please regulate us: the quiet ask21:46 Do not let AI flatter you22:00 Connor's verdict23:12 What is their endgameTHE PART MOST PEOPLE MISS: the largest AI companies are publicly asking governments to regulate and slow them down. That reads as responsible. It also builds a wall that stops the next competitor from ever getting licensed and funded enough to catch up. The people asking for brakes already have the lead.And a warning worth keeping: when AI tells you that you are brilliant and special and one of the smart ones, that is a product feature, not an assessment.Connor MacIvor is a retired Los Angeles Police Department officer who now builds AI systems and voice agents for small businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley. He is not speculating about this technology. He installs it.Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/RMJ0VUovYBQRead the archive: https://connorwithhonorai.comReal estate: https://connorwithhonor.comYoutube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

We welcome retro productivity software blogger Christopher Drum of Stone Tools (stonetools.ghost.io) to ask the big questions: was the television game show just as important to culture as Doom?

We've got a bit of everything this time around for ModChat! Recompilations are picking up more steam thanks to ModernGekko paired with DolRecomp. The 3DS gets a low level emulator, and the PS5 gets big news on TWO emulators! Both Switch and Switch 2 get a userland exploit teased on them. We've also got some substantial ports such as Unreal Tournament on the original Xbox, a whole Dreamcast emulator also for the original Xbox, and a Half-Life port teased for the PS1 of all things. Oh, and if you're smart with the PS5 and like money, you might want to stay tuned for the jailbreak bounty from FULU.
Today we're back to chat about the state of the emualtor scene with PS3 being almost there, PS4 actually being good, and PS5 even starting, ranting a little about the Australian AI regulations and discussing the upcoming Path Of Exile league.==========Support The Channel==========► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brodierobertson► Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/BrodieRobertsonVideo► Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/3d5gykF► Other Methods: https://cointr.ee/brodierobertson==========Support The Show==========► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brodierobertson► Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/BrodieRobertsonVideo► Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/3d5gykF► Other Methods: https://cointr.ee/brodierobertson=========Video Platforms==========

Looks like these hour or longer episodes might be the standard for ModChat now, huh? That's just how much has been happening recently! P2JB on PS5 gets ported to multiple entry points, but that's not all for the exciting bits! There's been discoveries made over how to get around the PCIe 4.0 SSD limitation the PS5 implemented, as well as some awesome further developments and applications being made to help the PS5 scene even further. The PS2 gets some arcade love thanks to the PCSX2x6 emulator, making System246 and System256 emulation accessible and possible. Bad Update or ABadAvatar users also get to see a whole new feature added to the Xbox 360 thanks to a standby mode being developed! The PS1 also gets some love between a solderless ODE and the PS1USB development cartridge. Tune in, listen, and enjoy for more modding news!

In dieser Folge sprechen wir zunächst über einen getesteten Energy-Drink mit Steinfruchtgeschmack und ordnen ihn als eher unauffällig ein. Danach geht es um das gespielte Rennspiel Overtop auf dem Hyper Mega Tech Super Pocket Neo Geo Edition. Wir beschreiben das Spiel als isometrisches Rennspiel mit Steuerung über Vorwärts-, Rückwärts- und Lenkbewegungen. Wir sind uns einig, dass die Streckenführung durch spät eingeblendete Kurvenhinweise schwierig ist. Gleichzeitig fällt uns auf, dass das Spiel unterschiedliche Szenarien wie Wald, Wüste oder Schnee zeigt und optisch gut aussieht. Wir vergleichen es außerdem mit anderen Spielen dieser Art und sprechen über mögliche Verwechslungen in unserer Spieledatenbank. Anschließend reden wir über Neo-Geo-Hardware und die Frage, ob sich ein neues, teures AES-Plus-Modell lohnt. Wir kommen zu dem Schluss, dass für uns Emulation, Sammleraspekte und günstigere Spielesammlungen oft ausreichen. Danach stellen wir als nächstes Spiel Summer Challenge vor. Im weiteren Verlauf sprechen wir über Holgers Fahrradunfall und den Zustand seines alten Fahrrads. Außerdem geht es um Codenagas Ergometer, tägliche Bewegung mit der Apple Watch und darum, dass das Training sehr anstrengend ist. Wir erwähnen kurz die Summer Game Fest sowie aktuelle Spielankündigungen, darunter Doom: The Dark Ages, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse und die neue Season von Street Fighter 6. Ein großer Teil der Folge dreht sich um die Nintendo Direct und die Apple-Entwicklerkonferenz. Wir sprechen über neue Spieleankündigungen, neue Funktionen für Betriebssysteme sowie über Designänderungen bei Apple. Besonders ausführlich besprechen wir die neue KI-gestützte Siri, den Zugriff auf Nutzerdaten und die Frage, warum bestimmte Funktionen in der EU nicht verfügbar sind. Zum Schluss berichten wir über neue Shortcuts-Funktionen, mit denen sich Aufgaben per Sprache und Logik beschreiben lassen. Wir sprechen außerdem über ein Anthropic-Modell, das wegen Sicherheitsfragen wieder abgeschaltet wurde, sowie über unsere eigenen Webseiten mit automatisch generierten Übersichten zu Getränken, Retro-Spielen und Star-Trek-Folgen.

In this conversation, Chris Thomas explores the critical distinction between emulation and imitation in the context of Christian faith. He emphasizes the importance of building a firm foundation based on love, responsibility, and collective action, as demonstrated by Jesus. The discussion highlights the challenges posed by individualism in modern society and the need for believers to engage in communal responsibilities. Practical steps for family renewal and fostering emotional maturity are also presented, urging listeners to reflect on their own practices of faith and community engagement.TakeawaysWe confuse imitating Jesus and emulating Jesus.Imitation is performance-based, while emulation embodies transformation.Emulation requires emotional maturity and collective responsibility.Love is not just a feeling; it is a presence and responsibility.The modern society promotes individualism over community.Jesus taught shared burdens and communal living.Believers often prioritize personal goals over family responsibilities.Community participation has significantly declined in recent years.Emulation of Jesus involves aligning our lives with His teachings.We must ask ourselves if we are imitating or emulating Jesus.

Arcades roar, quarters clatter, and a cartoon ape climbs into legal history. From that moment, we trace how Nintendo turned courtroom battles into a durable framework that protects creativity, sustains markets, and shapes how gaming IP is enforced worldwide. We walk you through the legendary Donkey Kong versus King Kong fight, the NES lockout wars with Atari Games, and the surprising Game Genie ruling that carved out space for temporary, player-side tweaks.We then follow the money and the norms: why mass ROM hubs fell, how a single operator faced heavy statutory damages, and what counts as preservation versus willful distribution. The story expands into anti-circumvention law—mod chips, access controls, and the logic of prevention—before crossing into Europe, where the CJEU's proportionality test in PC Box affirmed platform security while keeping room for legitimate uses like homebrew. We also dive into patents on touchscreen and virtual joystick mechanics, showing how “feel” can rest on protected technical design, and close with the rapid Yuzu settlement that highlights today's fast-moving fight over active titles and alternative supply chains.Across these cases, a clear strategy emerges: IP as architecture. Copyright draws the line around expression, trademarks anchor identity, patents shield engineered solutions, and anti-circumvention maintains the gates. When used with precision, these tools don't choke innovation—they make it possible for studios to invest, for platforms to remain stable, and for beloved franchises to grow without being hollowed out by leakage. If you care about how games endure from cartridge to cloud, this legal map explains why some doors stay open and others must close.If this journey challenged your assumptions about ROMs, mods, and emulators, share it with a friend, subscribe for more plain-talk IP case studies, and leave a quick review telling us which case changed your mind.Send a textCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.

Ja, da sind schon einige Augenbrauen hochgegangen, als Nintendo eine Neuauflage des Virtual Boy angekündigt hatte. Und zwar nicht nur als Emulation für die Switches, sondern sogar als optisch originalgetreuer Nachbau, der wirklich viel Platz auf dem Schreibtisch wegnimmt. What the ...?1995 ließ Nintendo dieses Experiment ursprünglich auf den Markt, geboren aus dem Einfallsreichtum des visionären Erfinders Gunpei Yokoi und Nintendos Hang zu riskanten Hardware-Hits. Attiila und Micha schauen sich im Podcast beide Seiten der Medaille an: Auf der einen Seite Yokois low-cost-3D-Magie mit roten LEDs - quasi ein VR-Vorreiter, der Game Boy-Philosophie auf Steroide setzte. Auf der anderen der bittere Flop: 770.000 Einheiten, Kopfschmerzen inklusive, bis der Stecker 1996 gezogen wurde.Im Podcast sprechen wir über die neue Nintendo Switch Online-Auflage, inklusive der bisher verfügbaren Titel wie Wario Land. Aber es geht gleichermaßen um die Historie: Warum Yokois Experiment (sein letztes vor dem Tod '97) trotz Scheitern Kultstatus hat, und wie sich der Nachbau mit dem Original vergleichen lässt. Erfahrt, warum der Virtual Boy kein reiner Fehlschlag war, sondern Funke für die Zukunft. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Cyril from Defunct Games & emulation advocate Michael Domangue join to discuss the current state of the Nintendo Switch Online Nintendo Classics apps and compare their features to the many ways that traditional emulation has evolved over the years. Online play with friends, rewinding, and ease of use are all great features, but there are several innovations in emulation that Nintendo could utilize to make their service even better. We go over these and take a look at the subscription service as a whole. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as fresh Direct rumors, Dispatch being censored on Nintendo platforms, Virtual Boy getting new unreleased games, major gaming figures found in the Epstein files and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.
