I still play all of the Saturn releases. Megamix has just tons of replay value. I never got into the later games as much as I loved VF2, but I still enjoy watching good players when I catch them streaming.

If you’re interested in seeing where the community is at for the latest VF (VF5:US), most of the discussion happens at https://virtuafighter.com/forums/ and there’s a regular kumite streamed by https://www.twitch.tv/akai_vf

The Saturn cartridge slot can be very temperamental. The things I would try, in this order:

• Push the cartridge in all the way and then back it out just 1mm and see if that makes better contact
• Put a thin card behind the cartridge so it is pushed forward just slightly and see if that makes better contact
• Disassemble the console and use some contact cleaner on the slot. Be careful not to bend the pins.
• Loosen the screws that hold in the connector just slightly

When you find the right position to get a cart working, it’s best to leave it inserted. This is why many people use the multi-functions carts, so that they don’t have to constantly swap carts and go through the process of trying to get a good contact every time.

What was your XMPP client connecting to? Was it a well-known public endpoint (that they could be whitelisting) or was it a private server? If the latter then that indicates that they are allowing arbitrary IP connections which in theory means that you should be able to proxy any traffic you want. I doubt they are doing DPI, since TLS makes this very difficult these days when you don’t control the certificate stores on the clients.

I’d imagine they’re relying on some combination of DNS whitelisting and port blocking which should be trivial to circumvent if you know ahead of time what traffic they allow through.

It sounds like they have some nice improvements, but I wonder why they didn’t contribute them back to the original restic project.

I also wouldn’t rely on an immature piece of software to handle backups - you want to avoid as many risk factors as possible with backups, since when you need to restore you really need it to work.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been meaning to write something similar for a while but never got around to it. I wish Restic would ship an official client application for managing this stuff!
