🌠 Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - 242 Stars

After finishing the 120 stars playthrough with Mario four months ago, now Luigi waits for the takeover to achieve all 242 stars.
Luigi can jump higher than Mario but has worse traction. He also runs slightly faster but takes longer to reach top speed.

Also using a patch to play with Wii Classic Pro Controller.

🐉 Final Fantasy X International (NTSC-J PS2)

As we are getting deeper into the story, the skill and battle systems develop and become more complex.
Still not defeated yet, but there are so many boss fights to come.

I am running the #PS2 I recently fixed up through my recently bought #OSSC.
I struggle to believe how good it looks, especially if the game supports progressive mode.

I took the occasion to finally play BLACK, and I'm finding it quite fun. My taste in FPS might be quite outdated though.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Master System obviously should be played in 8:7 pixel aspect ratio like shown in the video below. It's recognizable by checking the ring in the counter at the top left. It's round now and not oval. That also means that the 4:3 display aspect ratio of CRT's for this game was to wide. 📺

Very likely this game will be my next 💯%-challenge. Looking forward to getting all emeralds. 💎🦔 💨

First attempts with the #OSSC work out fine so far. The generic profiles are ok but to get a quality, that is comparable to my RGB datapath capture card, fine tuning is necessary. 📏
Luckily retro scaling legend FirebrandX provides his heavily optimized profiles for the OSSC. The result can be seen in the video. 🤤

First assessment: Now I can and will stream original retro hardware on #Linux.
