      The hardcore don’t need the industry’s help. We can now load all Genesis games onto a single cartridge and play on original hardware. People are figuring out how to hack old CRTs to get the best possible picture. Etc.pic.twitter.com/lrnt3faPZV

      We can translate games ourselves. We don’t need to yell at Reggie Fils-Aime to translate Mother 3. Just do it!pic.twitter.com/C2h2qjnJuc

      We don’t even need human authors! We’re now able to have games randomize themselves in perfectly playable ways! So, then, what CAN the industry do? What should their role be?pic.twitter.com/uDPYLmQlhi

      For instance, the SEGA AGES release of Phantasy Star did an amazing job of modernizing the game while wonderfully preserving the authentic experience.pic.twitter.com/nyT1NuroCB

      With its museum feature, SNK 40th is like an interactive art book about SNK in the late 70s and 80s.pic.twitter.com/sSdE2Hh5GF

      We wanted to include home console versions alongside arcade versions. Often companies are resistant to that, like “Why would you include the inferior version?” But we’re historians!pic.twitter.com/o6mvq4RpNx

      Cifaldi is now talking about the CONSIDERABLE thought and work that went into adapting the controls of SNK’s rotary joystick arcade games (the Ikari Warriors games, etc.) to modern gamepads for the 40th Anniversary Collection.pic.twitter.com/3DpKgddIrr

      But all of us in this work of preserving old games use MAME. It’s volunteer work that we’ve been exploiting for decades. Let’s stop being ashamed about this or pretending it isn’t true.pic.twitter.com/2te2YBMRgo

      MAME is not infallible but it is invaluable. You also need to research other sources. Like we watched YouTube videos of gameplay on actual arcade cabinets.pic.twitter.com/rPr7ZXTSJj

          If you own the intellectual property, put it on the Internet Archive! If you don’t own it...I’m not a cop!
