My Life in Gaming

A pair of new mods for "2CHIP" systems now offers an alternative that can provide results close to 1CHIP systems in sharpness! Let's see how our modded console fares on CRTs and various upscalers, from the Framemeister and OSSC to the RetroTINK 5X and RetroTINK 4K! ► Episode Chapters 00:00 - Intro 01:05 - The SNES 2CHIP mods 02:59 - SNES video output overview 07:44 - The new mods revealed! 12:51 - SNES vs. SNES vs. Sampling! 23:14 - 2CHIP mods on Framemeister 24:09 - 2CHIP mods on OSSC 25:32 - 2CHIP mods on RetroTINK 2X Pro 27:04 - 2CHIP mods on RetroTINK 5X 29:48 - 2CHIP mods on RetroTINK 4K 32:56 - 2CHIP mods on GBS-Control 34:11 - 2CHIP mods on PVMs and CRTs 35:37 - Conclusion 40:29 - ???

This is not a typical MLiG video, but more of a "behind the scenes" look at how Coury and Try have worked remotely from each other from the last 10 years by using cloud storage and a NAS. Synology recently sent us their DS1821+ NAS and so we're both able to have onsite NAS units to sync all of the captured gameplay, B-Roll and other materials we've accumulated over the years. ► Episode Chapters 00:00 - How we've collaborated remotely since 2013 4:13 - The Synology DS1821+ 7:42 - Setting up the DS 1821+ 11:42 - Giving up the DS 918+ to Try 13:01 - A look at our organized footage archive

Have you ever bothered to play your black cartridge Game Boy games in any mode other than Game Boy Color? Sometimes the monochromatic shading of the original Game Boy creates a more cohesive image with additional depth! Sometimes Super Game Boy support is more robust than expected for a time when it was all but forgotten. And sometimes that GBC colorization really is spot-on! They're all worth a look! ► Episode Chapters 00:00 - Sponsorship 01:04 - Intro 03:12 - Game & Watch Gallery 2+3 05:47 - Konami GB Collections 07:57 - Dragon Warrior I+II 11:05 - Wario Land II 12:57 - Tetris DX 15:02 - Quest: Brian's Journey 18:20 - Quest: Fantasy Challenge 20:24 - Conker's Pocket Tales 26:41 - Donkey Kong Land III 31:17 - Extra Games & Ending
