Retroarch xbox series x12/21/2023 For further exploration of specific systems, I recommend checking out his channel, and consider contributing to his Patreon page. Many of the files used in this guide (including the reverted versions of RetroArch cores for PS2) are borrowed from his tutorials. This guide would not be possible without the excellent work done by Ryan over at Archades Games, whose Xbox emulator tutorials are comprehensive and relevant. But the use of these apps is a little sketchy since they circumnavigate Microsoft’s Dev Mode, and so for this guide we will only focus on the Dev Mode process and official RetroArch releases. There are other ways of playing retro games on your Xbox, to include getting whitelisted for an app store that launches a fork of RetroArch from the retail Xbox side, as well as a program called Tnavigator. It does take some configuration to get set up, and so this guide will help you through that process and get you well on your way for all the retro gaming your heart could desire. In addition to running classic games up to PS2 with higher resolutions, you maintain all of the functionality of the retail Xbox, and the whole endeavor is completely legal and available through Xbox’s Dev Mode process (after a $19 fee). Considering that the Xbox Series S retails for $300, I decided to pick one up and test its performance against a similarly-priced PC, and the results are fantastic. ![]() In my quest to find great emulation at a budget price, the idea of running games on the Xbox series devices recently came on my radar. ![]() Last updated: 16SEP2021 (see Changelog for details)

Pixelmator green screen12/21/2023 ![]() The MacOS version resembles the Windows Pro version.Ĭost: $299, and $120 for major upgrades, or by subscription for $180/yearĪs of version 11 this powerful raw developer and cataloguing program offers “Layers.” But these are only for applying local adjustments to masked areas of an image. Only the Pro version offers the full suite of raw development features, in addition to cataloging functions. Windows users have a choice of either a Standard or Professional version. Lightroom Contenders: Five Raw DevelopersĪCDSee Photo Studio (current as of late 2017)Ĭost: $60 to $100, depending on version, upgrades $40 to $60. My question is, how well do they work? Are any serious contenders to replace Photoshop or Lightroom? Thus the popularity of these alternative programs. Though $120 for a year is not far off the cost of purchasing many of these other programs and perhaps upgrading them annually, many photographers prefer to purchase their software and not subscribe to it. Photoshop and Lightroom complement each other and are now available together, but only by monthly subscription through Adobe’s Creative Cloud service, at $10/month. Camera Raw and Lightroom have identical processing functions and can produce identical results. Camera Raw is equivalent to the Develop module in Lightroom, Adobe’s cataloguing and raw processing software. ![]() Most have free trial copies available.Īdobe Camera Raw (ACR), Photoshop, Bridge, and Lightroom, the standards to measure others byĬost: $10 a month by subscription, includes ACR, Photoshop, Bridge, and LightroomĪdobe Camera Raw (ACR) is the raw development plug-in that comes with Photoshop and Adobe Bridge, Adobe’s image browsing application that accompanies Photoshop. Here are the image processing programs I looked at. Export that folder of raw images to “intermediate JPGs” for assembly into a movie.Įven so, not all these contenders are up to the task.Copy its settings to the hundreds of other raw files in the time-lapse set, then ….But as with Lightroom, layering of images – to stack, composite, and mask them – is beyond their ability.įor processing time-lapse sequences, however, we don’t need, nor can we use, the ability to layer and mask several images into one composite. The others are better described as Adobe Lightroom competitors – programs that can catalog image libraries and develop raw image files, with some offering adjustment layers for correcting color, contrast, etc. However, a number of contenders offer excellent features and might replace at least one member of Adobe’s image processing suite.įor example, only four of these programs can truly serve as a layer-based editing program replacing Photoshop. If you are hoping there’s a clear winner in the battle against Adobe, one program I can say does it all and for less cost and commitment, I didn’t find one. This review expands upon and updates mini-reviews I included in my Nightscapes and Time-Lapses eBook, shown at right. Even so, I think you will find there’s plenty to pick from! So sorry, fans of Paintshop Pro (though see my note at the end), Photoline, Picture Window Pro, or Xara Photo & Graphic Designer. I’ve indicated these.īut I did not test any Windows-only programs. I did not test these programs for other more “normal” types of images.Īlso, please keep in mind, I am a Mac user and tested only programs available for MacOS, though many are also available for Windows. I tested more than ten contenders as alternatives to Adobe’s image processing software, evaluating them ONLY for the specialized task of editing demanding nightscape images taken under the Milky Way, both for single still images and for time-lapses of the moving sky. That is the question many photographers are asking with the spate of new image processing programs vying to “kill Photoshop.” Corpse party anime hulu12/21/2023 ![]() Finally, hit pause again and you’ll sit through yet another load before returning to the game. Exit that branch of the menu and, you guessed it, another load. Select an item in the menu, and there’s another load. Hit pause, for instance, and there’s a load before going into the menu. Even if the loads don’t last all that long, they happen frequently enough to really slow down the proceedings. For starters, there’s far too much loading. Menacing ghosts will circle you while growling terrifying taunts, and the creaks and scrapes of the living school will make your journey all the more frightening.īut with all of these treats come a handful of tricks, too. Haunting whispers will sound like they’re coming from across the room one moment and then right in your ear the next. If you’re not playing Corpse Party: Blood Drive with the lights off and earphones on, you’re doing it way, way wrong. The soundtrack is once again top notch, but what will really have you sleeping with a nightlight is the expertly crafted binaural audio. It’s impossible to talk about a Corpse Party game without discussing the phenomenal sound design. Those campaign chapters are complemented by a collection of extra chapters, too, which help flesh out additional details and show how some of the bodies you stumble across wound up in that state. That’s in no way knock against the game I just want to make sure folks go in with the right expectations. While Blood Drive will take you a good many hours to work through its 10 main story missions, I feel like I need to reiterate that a lot of that time is spent reading oodles of dialogue and descriptions. Yes, it’s frequently gross as hell, but those descriptions do a great job of keeping a steady sense of dread throughout the lengthy campaign. The same can be said for much of the game’s writing, with many items you inspect offering something truly horrible to discover. Speaking of which, many of these endings are just as gruesome as fans have come to expect from the series, with all of the gory tidbits described in great detail. ![]() Forget where an obstacle lies or make a wrong turn and you’ll quickly find yourself unlocking on of the game’s many, many death scenarios. In other words, you’ll frequently need to run for your life through corridors filled with hazards with a vengeful spirit in pursuit. Once those spooky spectres show up, though, it’s time to high-tail it to the nearest hiding place where you’ll hope to cower in secret as they slowly make their way past. The real tension in Blood Drive comes from the fact that the building itself is trying to kill you, even when there aren’t any pesky ghosts in sight. The flashlight is one of Blood Drive’s new mechanics, offering some spiffy dynamic lighting that helps add to the already creepy atmosphere. Broken glass, crumbling floor boards and booby traps litter the corridors, meaning you’ll want to proceed with caution, aided by little more than a flashlight and whatever bandages and batteries you can find hidden along the way. While not destroyed, the school is literally falling to pieces, meaning there’s all manner of deadly obstacles peppered throughout the halls. While the first two Corpse Party games put a bigger emphasis on solving light puzzles and achieving objectives in the correct order, the landscape itself provides the main thrust in Blood Drive. It’s pretty cool to revisit familiar sections of the school from this new perspective, as well as discover all new nooks and crannies. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, on the other hand, shifted the view to the first-parson perspective and played out more like an old school adventure game.īlood Drive marks the series’ first foray into the land of 3D, with the players controlling chibi versions of the characters in a much more dangerous version of Heavenly Host. The original Corpse Party, though, was a top-down exploration game boasting graphics that would have been right at home on the Super Nintendo. As far as narrative is concerned, they all fall into the visual novel category, so expect to do lots and lots of reading. One of the cool things about the Corpse Party series is that none of the games look or play the same. Gif machine gun guy japanese12/21/2023 The most of time Centipede Team's Type 97 was crushed down but with some training they finally managed to destroy the Type 94.ĭuring the Cauldron tournament second round, Team Oni used their two modified Type 94. The yet unknown Oni Team used their double-gunned Type 94 to train Shizuka and Rin. It has some level of canonicity within the continuity, but reader discretion is advised.įuture Oni Team's Type 94 meant to participate to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1930s in Europe, but the changing rule of only allowing vehicles with minimum three crewmembers doomed the tankette and its team from participating.Īt some point one of their Type 94 was upgunned with two Type 97 20mm autocannon on both sides of the turret to give it more firepower and another had its turret removed and replaced by a remote controlled Type 97 allowing a single person to man it. In Girls und Panzer Warning: The following information may not be inside Girls und Panzer's main core. In 1943 ten Type 94 tankettes were given to the Manchukuo Imperial Army to form an armored company that was still active in August 1945 when USSR invaded Manchukuo. In 1941, the Wang Jingwei regime's army was given eighteen Type 94 tankettes. Some were also captured during the Battle of Okinawa in mid-1945. It then served during the Nomonhan Incident in 1939.ĭuring World War II, despite being obsolete in 1941 they saw action in China, Burma, Netherlands East Indies, the Philippines, Guadalcanal and on a number of islands in the South Pacific Mandate. The tankettes were first used during the Second Sino-Japanese War where it was proven effective as Chinese National Revolutionary Army had only three tank battalions composed of British Vickers, German Panzer Is and CV.33 tankettes. The Type 94 production ended in 1937 when it was superseded by the Type 97 Te-Ke. As it didn't solve the problem, the later models chassis was lenghted to fit a revised suspension and larger suspensions. In 1937 the suspension and the small idler were replaced by a larger diameter idler wheel suspended from a rocker arm as the previous tended to throw the tracks in high speed turns. It was reclassified as the Type 94 and entered service in 1935 as a reconnaissance vehicle. The hull was riveted and welded, with a front-mounted engine with the driver to the right. The design of the Type 94 began in 1932 and give birth to an experimental model in 1934 which consisted in small tracked vehicle with a unpowered turret armed with a Type 91 6.5mm machine gun (later models carried a Type 92 7.7mm) that bore striking ressemblance with Vickers light tanks. ![]() The first attempts result in the few produced Type 92 Jyu-Sokosha. Since the 1920s, the Imperial Japanese Army tested a variety of European light tanks, including several Renault FTs, and a decision was reached in 1929 to proceed with the domestic development of a new vehicle based largely on the Carden-Loyd Mk VI tankette design, as French and British tankettes were judged by the IJA to be too small to be practical, to address the deficiencies of wheeled armored cars.

Sementara itu, persyaratan mutu pala di pasar dunia terus meningkat yang perlu mendapat perhatian serius agar Indonesia tetap menjadi produsen utama pala. Indonesia saat ini masih berstatus sebagai eksportir utama pala dunia. STRATEGI MEMPERTAHANKAN INDONESIA SEBAGAI PRODUSEN Keywords: Myristica fragrans, production, export, quality The strategy to maintain Indonesia as the world’s main nutmeg producer and supplier is 1) increasing the intensity of assistance to improve farmers knowledge regarding quality, health, food safety, and sustainable production as well as post-harvest technology, 2) improving professionalism, skill, and adequacy of assistant officers, 3) continuing to encourage nutmeg cultivation following GAP, and 4) lessons learned from the country of Grenada in policy intervention to improve quality, product diversification, and product safety of nutmeg. The challenge is that the quality standard of nutmeg products is getting higher, so be necessary to develop the farmers to meet the standard. Indonesia’s potential as a major producer of nutmeg is still good because this commodity is an indigenous plant of Indonesia, the land and climate are suitable for the nutmeg development, and the cultivation method is in line with GAP (Good Agricultural Practices). Unfortunately, Indonesian nutmeg price is lower than Grenada and India, even European Union (EU), the USA, and Japan rejected Indonesian nutmeg 54 times from 2014 to 2016. In 2019, Indonesia produced 37 thousand tons and exported 20 thousand tons to fill 52 thousand tons of the nutmeg world market, with India (12 thousand tons), Sri Lanka (3 thousand tons), and other countries.

In its third year, it became a national organization with seven chapters chartered in Manila and Visayan campuses.

In the audience was Librado Inocencio Ureta, then taking his MA in education at the Far Eastern University in Manila.

One evening, Levy spoke to a group of people about APO, Scouting's national service fraternity in the U.S., and its service project which donated books to Philippine schools. Roe "The Chief" Bartle who served as president of Alpha Phi Omega from 1931 to 1946, went to the Philippines to generate interest among Scouts there. The successful project gathered hundreds of textbooks, used but usable, from libraries and students and sent to the Philippines to help re-stock the many burnt-out college libraries in Manila.Ī few years later, in January 1950, Sol George Levy (Gamma Alpha chapter University of Washington 1947), a professional Scouter, an Alpha Phi Omega brother at the University of Washington in Seattle, and a friend of APO National President Dr. Knowing that the education of young people was a vital necessity for the country to get back on its feet, a number of Alpha Phi Omega members in Texas and the Pacific Northwest, having served as soldiers in the Philippines, organised book drives on their campuses.

Around Cape Breton, they became known as ‘Buddy tunes.’ Natalie says her uncle didn’t write music, but he had a way of taking traditional songs and making them his own. “There's not a show that goes by that I don't say from the stage that I'm the niece of Buddy MacMaster and it always gets a big, big hand,” says Natalie. ![]() “He was so loved by his peers.”īuddy’s niece, international fiddling star Natalie MacMaster, is a two-time Juno winner who was inspired by her uncle to share her music with the world. “If anyone could ever be considered an institution in Cape Breton music, it would be Buddy MacMaster,” says his friend, Frank MacInnis.
