Yeah, that's smart of Valve.

They don't want to have to make 'compatibility levels' where games could be playable on SteamDeck 2 but not on Steam Deck 1. Or weird things happen in one but not the other. Plus they still have a ton of existing games to go through to try to improve for SD1 or encourage developers to improve. (For example, Dragon Quest Builders 1 cuts off background audio when suspended and resumed from sleep mode, though normal PC doesn't.)

They probably also don't want to get into the habit of phone manufacturers or Meta Quest, where new versions release so often prospective buyers just shrug their shoulders and decide to wait for the next iteration, leaving lots of older versions to be sold below cost after new ones arrive, requiring latest versions to be sold at premium to make up for it.

Valve recently made a statement that they have no intention of releasing a Steam Deck 2 until there's a large enough leap in tech. I appreciate that they're in no rush to devalue the original Steam Deck. Having bought one this year, i'm satisfied for the most part with its power.

Makes me happy to see artwork for the unpopular Sogna characters. They don't really get enough appreciation.

That Raika bust :o

Really love that Raika bust! Hope there might be another one to buy or more info on a painted version.
I actually don't see painted figures on YJA that often. Those are probably more often sold at anime conventions and such. The unpainted ones may be more popular in open auctions for people that kitbash, combining elements of different sets together to make new "original" characters.

Since ya'll seem interested in the Rika bust I'll keep my eye out for another. But none of you have jumped at the vinyl figures I've gotten in the shop so far, one of which is a full-body Raika. Those are $150 and I paid more than that for this Raika bust and shipping, so be aware we may be closer to $200 if I got another at that price.

I was able to nab this recently, haven't gotten it yet, though. It was the car shade they sold.

Some new stuff I've gotten over the last couple of months.

* A couple of original artwork pieces (both the pencil drawings and color guides.) I'm not a big fan of The Devil Came artwork, except when its got Ratty causing funny expressions in the others.

* A collection of four M.I.N era single-sided half-sized posters for Reserve and Guyna-rock. The newer Sogna posters aren't uncommon but these must be really rare as M.I.N wasn't very large or popular at the time. I've never seen other posters from the M.I.N era. These were probably store displays, which typically get destroyed when the store closes o replaces with others.

* A bust figurine of Raika. I've seen these crop up over the years but only recently managed to win the auction for one.

* I acquired an extra copy of the GTS Drama and Sogna Music Collection II CDs that included the cards, completing the 42 card extended trading card set.

* An artbook by Atsuko Ishida, who designed the opponent characters for Animahjong X. I was hoping for more AMX art, but its only two pages in a 150 page book.

Hey JG, just FYI...
Code: [Select]
SET_BUFFER_PROPERTIES BUFFER=0 LEFT=0 TOP=40 FLAGS1=0x90 FLAGS2=0x80 IMAGE=4 FLAGS4=0x00 FRAMES=(1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1,1:1)
the arg you labeled FLAGS4, is the slot number in the palette the game will consider transparent.
its usually 0x0c, because the blue color is the 13th (12th by offset) color in the palette.
I was just doing some experiments with the args

I changed the arg to target the shadow colors, and it made those transparent.
