Jim Silly-Balls posted:has the Blu-ray key been cracked open like the DVD one was? I can’t fathom having a Blu-ray drive in my PC for any other reason than to rip the movies to a format more useful in tyool2020 than a physical disk the key doesnt matter theres a thing called libredrive that sends microcode to the drive to ignore the encryption entirely and read the video data directly

yeah makemkv uses libredrive if your drive supports it if not, then it uses keys and normal bluray is cracked but idk about 4k blurays cause i think a lot of the efforts disappeared once libredrive came out

for a while (maybe still?) the only/best way of copying an SACD was a hacked ps3, so you had audiophile people buying old ps3s and hacking them just for sacd rips there was also dvd-audio which i think was much less successful than sacd, and there was also bluray audio which i think was even less successful than that

well, the ntsc vcd standard was strictly 352x240 at 1150 kbps video bitrate in mpeg1 then u had SVCD which was mpeg-2 at 720x480 (or 352x240 i think) with a constant or variable bitrate up to like 2500 kbps so maybe thats what ur talking about but there were a lot of people loving around with the vcd standard just for fun (easy enough to increase the bitrate etc) or making their own random offshoot "standards" and some vcd/dvd players would still play them without any issue u probably went from VCD to SVCD which would def have a big quality difference and i wrote this all from memory so dont be nitpickin

xd is basically a NAND chip in a little package. there were people who removed their xbox 360 nand chip and soldered in an xd slot so they could swap their firmwares easily

was there a laptop with a detachable screen, where the screen was an android tablet and the base was a windows pc, and when you put the tablet on the base it turned into a windows laptop, and it used basically remote desktop on the android tablet to connect to the windows pc rather than, like, just having the video output to the tablet was this a thing or did i imagine this cursed laptop

Beeftweeter posted:some dreamcast games had a little message if you popped it in a cd player. like i remember sonic adventure had sonic telling me not to do what i had already done, followed by extremely loud bits yelling at me for my intransigence the wallpapers/screensaver type stuff is called "omake" (bonus/extra or similar) and sega did that a lot, if you check saturn or dreamcast discs in a pc they sometimes have stuff like wallpapers, screensavers, even music or videos and stuff on the disc edit - sometimes removed from the us versions tho as sometimes the included pics get a little too horny
