Imagine what could have been...

Old ToCAEDIT

As a bit of nostalgia, here is a screenshot of a newspost I made 10 years ago.

The old site is still archived thanks to archive.org here:

I have heard of rumors of it shutting down which will mean this may be lost forever? Let's not let this happen.

P.S. Some of you may not know there was a proto-tocaedit called Rally Championship ONLINE more than 20 years ago.

Some of my earliest presence on the internet with this machine.

Thanks for your support and hope you enjoy the holidays, yet again, and have another safe year!

Custom GSdx Plugin Released

Before and After

I've released a plugin that fixes the vertical lines with Konami games (Enthusia, etc) on the PCSX2 Emulator.

I was disappointed to find that the problem still hasn't been fixed for the latest 1.2 release.  Tried this one which I made for 1.0 release and it still works.  So now I am releasing it to you.

How it works is using a different method to copy the offscreen surface to the backbuffer, bypassing some (broken) post-processing.   There is no noticable glitches.

Update 1/2/2015:  Full source is now included.  The actual fix is in GSRendererHW::Draw()  the function DrawPrims() is causing the black lines, this is what is bypassed when FBP is 0.

The plugin was also used in the making of the video below.

Kinect2TIR 2.0 Beta Released

A beta version of Kinect2TIR 2.0 is now available for download.

Kinect2TIR is a standalone software application that enables real-time head pose tracking with TrackIR supported PC video games.

Utilizing the Kinect's infrared depth data, Kinect2TIR allows accurate tracking in low-light conditions with no headgear or additional equipment required.



This isn't particularly anything new (older video) and has been sitting on my hard drive for some months.

It is using the now-deprecated KinectSDK v1. (v2 avalable but not backward compatible)

Still, it may be useful for those who could not get the earlier OpenNI version working.

For some games with encrypted TrackIR compatibility, a small 3rd party utility called TrackIRFixer may be required.
