Apologies another thread but I searched a lot..

.. What is the difference between SABR and xBR? I'm looking at filtering options for Time Commando on PS1. :)

What is the best way to do each of these in RetroArch? Also, is this core dependent?

Is there any possibility this would be added in the future or made compatible? Also Model 3, etc.

What is the difference between these 2 cores? I searched and someone said HW is 'more awesome' without clarifying, 9 years ago. :) Any input appreciated.

Good bot, clever bot. You impress me, Mr C GPT. Here are the results from the Quarter finals face-off below! Plus the previous threads here also for clarity -

Current totals

Quarter-final	Score
Don Letts vs Lauren Laverne	9.5 – 10.5 (so close!)
Mark Radcliffe vs Stuart Maconie	5.0 – 15.0 (both through by popular demand!)
Deb Grant vs Mary Anne Hobbs	13 – 7 (a good battle but Deb took it halfway)
Jamz Supernova vs Marc Riley	12 – 8 (Jamz came through in the end)

With these replies, the semi-finals would be:

• Lauren Laverne vs RadMac (Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie)

You know what this means.. it's time to vote! Good luck to your favourite/s! (Once again, 1 point for your winner in each match, 0 for your not-winner).

Edit - The clankers all clanked out trying to work this stage out for some reason so I'll do it manually after all replies 😄

Edit 2 - will coin toss where people put 0.5 x2 or 0-0

If you are reading this, you survived!

Edit - wishful thinking spoke too soon. SOLIDARITY THRU SWEAT!

The winner of these will go against Lauren, Stuart, Deb and Marc in the Quarter Final Stage. For anyone interested, Co-Pilot was hopeless at all this but ChatGPT aced it.

This preserves the seeding so that the highest remaining seeds cannot meet until the latest possible round.

How many days a week on average do you decant the tin?

If you could change the Internet to one image for 24 hours, what would you choose and why?

Came up this idea randomly this morning, credit where credit is due the clankers were helpful with this one. Especially the one beginning with C and ending in T ...

For each Group, assign 3, 2, 1 or 0 points to each DJ.

Not sure when closing will be but happy to keep it running until people stop replying for the Group Stage, etc.

Thought this might be fun, let me know if it isn't.

Only 50p.

Not sure the Daily Mail lot will agree, but this weather is far more comfortable.

And by free I mean were / are usually not free + free for a limited time etc. as opposed to always free.

Or is there somewhere more active and reliable? 😄

I mean, I've seen it is for years but now I ask.. why?

I haven't heard any of the lovely new Foo Fighters tracks in at least a week or more.. I think the curse has been lifted folks!
