10 years since SEGA wanted to make BOOM a real part of the franchise...

I remember how SEGA, specially Sega of America, was putting a lot of effort in making Sonic Boom a real sub-franchise. Leaving apart all the problems it had, in the end it had its own animated series (with three seasons if I' not wrong), three games, and comics (still from Archie Comics), and of course a lot of merchandising.

I have never been a big fan of Boom since the first moment it was shown to the world, but looking back in time, I feel a bit sad for the people that "suffered" the crisis Boom faced, and at the same time I'm impressed how things have gone and changed after all this time... Boom now is like a deleted/forgotten part of Sonic's history, and besides the new games, we had a Netflix series, three successfull hollywood movies, a big merchandising expansion (nowadays it's "hard" for me to not see a kid with a Sonic t-shirt, or a lot of Sonic-licensed stuff in stores.

SEGA may be not the have had always the best ideas, but I have to admit it's impressive that in a time when not long before they had to survive from the "Dreamcast crisis", they had to face another crisis and in "only" 10 years they were able to overcome that and take the Sonic franchise to, I think, a much better point.

Is there any decomp project in the works for Shadow of the Colossus and ICO?

Basically what the title says. Seeing Sony seems to not have plans for these games (and The Last Guardian) on PC, it would be cool if any of the pros that are doing these amazing projects could work on these games. I know for example that The Last Guardian is a PS4 game, so it must be very difficult, but well, there's my wishlist.

And thank you to all the awesome people doing these works. :) 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Any way to get your main screen to look like this other launcher with ATV Launcher?

(Photo from user u/flchamp89 )

Hello. I know there are some new launchers around like Monet, AT4K, Projectivify... And I like the look of the average setup they get with them (like in the picture: apps in a row down in the screen, clock up on the right with other icons or the date, and a big wallpaper (or even a live wallpaper).

Is it possible to make your menu to look like this with ATV Launcher? I could change it for any of the other launchers, but I'm very used to it, but the other day I did a quick try with ATV and for example I couldn't put the app row down there...

And if you would suggest me what app to get as substitute, which would be your chose and why?

Thanks! :)

Is there some noob-friendly pc mod that allows to modify the music in the circuits and in the menus?

Hi! The last time I took a look on this matter I found that changing the music you hear in the circuits was a bit difficult because you have to make different cut versions of that custom track you want to add/change... Maybe after this time there's a mod that makes things easier in this case?

And an additional question: using the available mods to change the OST of the game, you still only have the option of changing one track for another, or maybe there has been found a way to add additional tracks to the OST without losing existing ones?

Thank you! :)

About IDW's Mecha Sonic MK. 2 design...

- First pic: Mecha Sonic Mk. 2 from the concept arts for the Scrapnik Island arc of the IDW comics.
- Second pic: original sprite.
- Third pic: details on how works and looks Mecha's energy shooting system, from the same concept arts of the first pic.

Has any artist or manager from the IDW comics confirmed the design they show on these drawings are made from original art sources from SEGA/Sonic Team? Or is it their interpretation of the original sprites?

Seeing something so detailed as the mechanism to shoot, I think they got some info or even concept arts from Sonic & Knuckles...

Does anyone knows anything about this? Thanks.

- - -

PD: I hate that SEGA has never shown any official drawing of Mecha Sonic Mk.2, not even some concept arts. I would LOVE to see a finished drawing of this character with the cool style and beautiful finish from the other Sonic 3's badniks.

Almost a year since the launch of Sonic Racing Crossworls and still no signs of a Miku figure with the design from the game... :/

At least as far as I know, there hasn't been any announcement related to this... Kinda strange when SEGA has its own figure lines and they have (I guess) good relatons with the company that owns Miku's rights. :/

Besides, I think a figure with her on the extreme gear (the flying board) would be attractive for the game fans and for "just-miku" fans.

Possible super-noobish question... How to make a "normal" post with pictures?

Sorry, I've been around Reddit for some time, but I sincerelly can't get this done properly.

As you can see in my first picture, or even in this post itself, I don't know how to make a post with pictures BUT with the text "hidden" when navigating in a subreddit. I see the usual posts have the post name, the picture, and if you click on it, you can read the main text and the comments.

Second picture, the posting menu. I go to "Multimedia", I upload the picture I want, and if I write the main text in the "Text body" inside the "Multimedia" section, when I create the post, the text appears like in the first picture. If I upload the picture in "Multimedia", but then I write the main text in "Text body" from the "Text" section, the post appears with only text, without the picture I uploaded.

This must be some little detail I ignore and can't see, so sorry for this super basic question, but I can't see what I do wrong. :/

Thanks.

Found this drawing I made 10 years ago just for fun, inspired in the "dual" SA2 official wallpapers.

Can't connect to my Shield TV Pro from Windows...

EDIT: SOLVED IN THE COMMENTS SECTION!

Hello.

I have a Shield TV Pro, the latest model if I'm not wrong (2019 I guess), from some years working great with zero issues.

My problem is that I can't access to my Shield from my PC using the Windows Explorer.

The shield is connected via ethernet to the router. The same with my PC.

I have everything configured properly, (I think). Turned on the access from my network on the Shield settings. On my PC I have active the option to detect devices connected to my network. But I go to the "Network" part on Windows Explorer, and it can't find the Shield... It just appears the router.

The thing is that I have used this feature in a PC I had before the one I'm using now, and without doing anything special (at least that I remember), I was able from Windows to get into the files inside the Shield and even into the files of a HDD connected to it. It worked perfectly... I think I even was able to do this while the Shield was on standby.

I know it's hard to think on what is causing this without being phisically here and being able to take a look at the configuration on the Shield and the PC, but is there something you could guess would be good to check on both parts?

Thank you for your time and attention!

PD: like an hour ago or a bit more I made a similar post about this with other questions. To avoid having two posts taling about the same, I deleted the other one. Thank you to the people that tried to help me there. : )

Three little questions about the Shield TV Pro

Hello everybody!

First of all, I would like to thank everybody with their tips, tutorials, and general help, it has been so useful.

I have the latest model of the Shield TV Pro (2019?). Very happy with it all these years.

1- How do you enable sharing files with the Shield in you home network? I remember configuring it correctly and I was even able to transfer files to a USB HDD I had connected to it, but now I have another PC, I think I have followed the same steps, and even the Shield doesn't appear when adding a new network device on Windows...

1B- Related to the last question, do you know if the Shield can only allow to transfer files from Windows to USB HDDs and not USB sticks? Because when this function was working, when I changed the USB HDD for a USB pendrive, the pendrive didn't appear on Windows, while the HDD did and worked perfectly...

2- I plan to play some casual games and emulators... What would be the best examples of Android games that work 100% well on the Shield, and what's the most "powerful" console it can emulate? I repeat, it's just for some casual gaming, but just for curiosity I would like what is capable of.

Thank you for your time and attention! : )

We need the Sega Shop back in Europe...

Spanish Sonic fan here. Almost 60$ to ship just one plush... One single, non fragile, and normal sized plush. And add to it 26$ aprox of taxes and duties... 86$ in total, which leaves the final price in 134.24$ (aprox. 118€). This is incredible... :/

Hello!

I have a Synology DS920+, with 4 bays but only with two of them taken by two 10TB WD Red HDDs.

I have had this NAS I think like for three years, avaerything good and no complaints. But I have som spare HDDs and SATA SSDs and I would like to ask for your opinion in at least two ideas I had...

- The OS of the NAS is installed in one of the HDDs... Having now two free bays, how would the performance would change if I use a spare 256GB Samsung SATA SSD I have to just install the OS? I really don't have complains about the NAS performance, but if it can get better...

- I have a spare 2TB Toshiba HDD. I think its a 7200rpm one. Would you reccomend me to use it on the NAS or maybe this kind of HDD is better to not be used on this kind of device, for example for thermal reasons (a 7200rpm HDD surely must be hotter than the 5400rpm WD Red I have), and for other things like not being an unit optimized to work on a NAS.

Let me know what you think. Thank you! : )
