Having this would be a good (and simple?) way to reduce context-switching in Godot, wouldn't it? Or am I missing something?

Seems like HAL are having(?) to use some kind of frame-upscaling algorithm for distant objects in Kirby and the World Beyond, at least when the game is running at 4K. This is from a 4K .png screenshot from the press kit.

Keep in mind that Xbox One/Series discs don't consistently work offline like PS5/Switch/2 physical games do.

About this - was the original file modified by someone? And the new one is the unmodified dump?
![UPDATE 3/31/25: The ROM we previously released is discovered to have been a bad dump. We have uploaded the good dump here, and the bad dump remains along with it for posterity.

Question: how many degrees off was the WarioWare Twisted gyroscope nearer to its release in 2005? I'm not sure if this is hardware degradation or if its normal?

32%? Those are rookie numbers, you've gotta get those numbers up. (At least its 40% or something for Windows users as a whole.)

Yeah, they're still making "Nintendogs", they never stopped. But how about making "Super Mario 64". Rather than Open World Stick Collection Simulator 6.

People are saying Xbox is dead now. But looking through this list, nearly all of these were primarily designed for PlayStation or PC, right? And wasn't it like this for all/most of the Xbox One/Series lifespan?

GamePro issue 213 contains concept art for New Super Mario Bros! No concept art for this game has been found before. It includes some early world designs, which show World 6 used to have volcanos. And an early design for the Warp Cannon that seems to feature E. Gadd's logo on it.
