Awesome! I love the 240p test suite. I noticed a special physical version is being sold as well https://www.vgnysoft.com/product-page/2 ... -dreamcast

Nice, I try to have 240p Test Suite on all of my old consoles and I already thought the old Dreamcast version was perfectly serviceable. These updates sound nice. Especially the controller test, something I also like to try to keep on my old consoles if I can. There was already a standalone controller test program floating around but I love that it's featured here in 240p Test Suite with this update. Helps to keep things clutter free.

The Maple Test is amazing!

Awesome! I strive to have all my toys power on @ least once a week l0l. cuz idn't VGA 480p'ing this a bit backwards

I forget/not sure what maple test is much less no FFTW! But I saw somewhere here I can even play with my mic whaaa

In the second analog and buttons topic, in a new interview for retrorgb it was discovered that the game programmers opposed to have them on the Dreamcast, it's a good read
