This is a picture from TMK.

It shows 2 bottles of water, used to fill up the FLUDD.

The problem is, if you look at the edges, you'll find them "jaggy". This is a result of computer 3D rendering without using any anti-alias technology. The Gamecube processes 3D graphics in the same way.

My question is, how can they take pictures like this? They must be getting the image from the digital output port, not with stupid analog graphics.

Believe it or not, Intelligent Systems is the answer. They provide all digital screen-capture technology for Nintendo consoles.

But TMK probably nicked the screenshot off a website. They're not rich enough to own one of IS's screen-capture devices

Some day I'll hack into them (and HAL Lab as well for Sysdolphin) and steal their software...
Just kidding, though I really want to.

But, why is it... to get screen from a digital 15-pin display port, I suppose there shouldbe some simple hardware capable for this...

I know that IS has many tools avalible there, but I thought they're just software tools... never thought of they actually have hardware developed.

Speaking of IS, may I ask that is it originally a part of Nintendo RD1?

They had their own tool to capture graphics for GC and DS... wow. IntSys is just more than I can imagine of.

nocturnal YL: That's still quite early. The combat should feel better once you fill up all skill slots. Oct 18, 2024 21:42:54 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I took a look at my past Switch games and found that more than 40% of the games I played contain some kind of fishing. Oct 21, 2024 11:36:02 GMT -5 *

nocturnal YL: A bit late, but I started Aiyoku no Eustia. I have nothing to say about the story yet because the demo lasted 6 hours and I haven't got past that. There's no save data transfer feature, fast-forwarding takes a while, and I stopped to read at some points. Nov 3, 2024 6:47:31 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It has the best file management feature I've seen. 60 normal save slots, 6 autosaves, and 12 more slots automatically saved at decision points. And the save data can be moved, deleted and given comments. It's the most flexible I've seen on console. Nov 3, 2024 6:50:03 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I think I've gotten a better handle on the combat in Ys X, but I still don't think it feels quite as good as in Ys VIII and IX. Nov 9, 2024 15:18:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Interesting; that's the opposite of what I think. Which part are you in now, by the way? Nov 10, 2024 5:44:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I'm just at the beginning of chapter 7. I've seen very divided opinions on the combat among Ys fans. I don't dislike it, but maybe I'm just used to Ys games having faster combat. Nov 10, 2024 8:38:57 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia is quite something. I thought I've somewhat hardened myself having gone through dark stories like Fire Emblem (Jugdral, Hoshido/Nohr, Fódlan) and Surge Concerto, but I'm still stunned. (Still doesn't beat real life, though.) Nov 10, 2024 15:17:23 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia has branched endings, and I've reached two. I'm surprised to see three familiar names in the credits: Ceui (OP vocal in Atelier Lydie & Suelle), Yoshino Nanjo (voice of Kiria in TMS♯FE), Yuu Asakawa (Megurine Luka's voice provider). Nov 14, 2024 14:42:30 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It'll be quite a while until I'm done with this game. Each individual arc takes at least 6 hours, and there are extra stories. I recall reading somewhere that this game takes 60 hours to finish. Nov 14, 2024 15:02:04 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Quick update: I'm starting chapter 9 in Ys X. Overall, I've been enjoying the game quite a bit. Nov 15, 2024 9:12:40 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Ah, almost there! Nov 15, 2024 9:33:20 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I will go offline for a few days. My family is travelling to South Korea. I should be back around next Friday (22 Nov). Nov 16, 2024 4:32:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I haven't been to Korea for more than two decades, so I look forward to it. Nov 16, 2024 4:36:43 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Have a nice trip! Nov 16, 2024 8:41:09 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Just finished Ys X. I'll write up my thoughts when I get a chance. Nov 21, 2024 15:49:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Looking back over my previous Ys rankings, it's funny how most of the numbered entries are ranked in descending order: VI > Seven > VIII > IX. So, does Ys X buck the trend?? 🤔 Nov 21, 2024 15:55:24 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Looking forward to your thoughts! Nov 22, 2024 8:33:42 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I'm back home! It's been a pretty fun trip. Being able to see falling leaves on a mountain path full of trees in person made the trip worth taking. Nov 22, 2024 8:34:56 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Welcome back! Nov 22, 2024 9:11:24 GMT -5
