No thank you for telling me it was possible. I can't say I wasn't warned - I could see that it would take quite a lot of disassembly, I just wasn't ready for how many fiddly ribbon cables would be involved! Anyway, it's done and it works now!

Very much enjoying your CMR 2.0 finds. Interestingly, around the same time, the WRC changed their TV graphics and I'm sure they're inspired by games, even down to the background music. youtu.be/rsiLHXqRFak?...

I didn't get on with Mastodon and someone summed it up perfectly by saying that people who love Mastodon are like people who love Linux, in that most people don't care as much as they do about creating the "perfect" experience for themselves.

NeGcon! Such a glorious thing. I know we got better at subtle steering assist to accommodate analogue sticks but I'm still surprised that dedicated racing controllers stopped being a thing after the PS1.

As an aside, I think changing the setting to alternate universe LA was 100% the right choice for making the series accessible, but it's also a choice that no publisher would *ever* make these days.

For a hot few months after playing Phoenix Wright I really wanted to be a lawyer when I grew up (then learned that being a lawyer IRL is *nothing* like in Ace Attorney). The original trilogy is one of the best examples of longform storytelling in games.
