My savegame exploit, running Atelier Elie (Japan, NTSC-J) on a PAL SCPH-9002 PlayStation, without modchip or Action Replay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2AEkmSHP0Y
None of this would have been possible without nocash's excellent work reversing the PlayStation: problemkaputt.de/psx-spx.htm
This is amazing: "The cymbal sound was created when chief enginer Tadao Kikumoto accidentally spilled tea onto the breadboard of an 808 prototype; according to Lewis, Kikumoto "turned it on and got this pssh sound — it took them months to figure out how to reproduce it, but that ended up being the crash cymbal in the 808."" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TR-808)
Over the curse of this project I've learnt MIPS assembly, a bit about the PlayStation hardware, and wrote my first software exploit. It's been fun (and frustrating)!
A thing I've been working on over the past ~1 week:

All set up for some vertical shmups

Got my SVSE5! This is one of the nicer controllers I've seen:

Yep, it's dead. Can't load levels now ;_;
After letting it idle for 10 minutes or so, the music started to skip. I think I might need to replace the drive in this thing, or just get a new Dreamcast altogether
Omg, my Dreamcast actually managed to boot a GD-ROM first shot
Sure, there's fan controllers, but this shows the peak level of the sound output in real time!
I wish I could get something like this for my PC's 5.25" bay(s) tbh. Unnecessary meter panels are my favourite thing.

Got a "new" tape deck, also I should remember to post here more

Omg, Amaroq's Awoo Mode even replaces "toot" as part of a word, so "Bluetooth" is rendered as "Blueawooh"
what's this
Ah yes, the notable mascot platformer,
why sleep when you can read fan-comics about witches
