  • I’m now at risk of becoming a Wachowski-explainer but I think actions scenes being this bad was either intentional or intentionally neglected. It got dumb at times because it expected you to suspend disbelief and all of us have trouble with that these days. 20 years of unserious media full of quips, 4th wall breaking and so on killed the child like wonder in many people.





  • And what a great nose rub to the studio it was! :)

    I think the movie stands on its own however. I didn’t like Matrix 2&3 but Resurrections made them irrelevant. We got an ending to the story that included both Neo and Trinity and we got some ambiguity in place of convoluted lore, which is good for something as crazy as Matrix. It’s basically Matrix 1 reboot/remake that prevents another terrible follow-up. Making fun of CGI-heavy actions flicks was just a cherry on top.





  • I didn’t mean audio filters but you’re probably using Kega, right? Might want to check Genesis Plus GX core in Retroarch. See the docs here: https://docs.libretro.com/library/genesis_plus_gx/

    By an off chance it’s also possible that something weird is happening to sampling rate, like your digital output only works at 48khz while Genesis outputs 44khz. Makes it sound horrible for sure. Happened to me on some occasions on Mac with a modern USB-C display recently (but like in general and not emulators).


    Mega Drive/Genesis FM[genesis_plus_gx_ym2612]

    Select method used to emulate the FM synthesizer (main sound generator) of the Mega Drive/Genesis. ‘MAME’ options are fast, and run full speed on most systems. ‘Nuked’ options are cycle accurate, very high quality, and have substantial CPU requirements. The ‘YM2612’ chip is used by the original Model 1 Mega Drive/Genesis. The ‘YM3438’ is used in later Mega Drive/Genesis revisions.

    • MAME (YM2612) [mame (ym2612)] - Selects MAME (YM2612) [original Model 1 Mega Drive/Genesis] as FM synthesizer method which is fast and fullspeed.
    • MAME (ASIC YM3438) [mame (asic ym3438)] - Selects MAME (ASIC YM3438) [later Mega Drive/Genesis revisions] as FM synthesizer method which is fast and fullspeed.
    • MAME (Enhanced YM3438) [mame (enhanced ym3438)] - Selects MAME (Enhanced YM3438) [later Mega Drive/Genesis revisions] as FM synthesizer method which is fast and fullspeed.
    • Nuked (YM2612) [nuked (ym2612)] - Selects Nuked (YM2612) [original Model 1 Mega Drive/Genesis] as FM synthesizer method which is high quality but has high CPU requirements.
    • Nuked (YM3438) [nuked (ym3438)] - Selects Nuked (YM3438) [later Mega Drive/Genesis revisions] FM synthesizer method which is fast but has high CPU requirements.

  • Genesis/MD sound is definitely crunchy but there were multiple different audio chips of varying quality used in various Genesis/MD revisions. I usually play retro games on FPGA so I can only offer general advice but a modern emulator should allow you to mix and match those. You might want to experiment and see if you like some combination better. It won’t ever be like SNES though as it uses a very different approach to audio.
