Hey again, everyone! I made some changes based on feedback from the previous videos. (Brighter background, talking slower, etc.) Let me know what you think!
Also, something I noticed during editing: Yeah, the instruments in bleemcast for Metal Gear Solid definitely sound different from the original game, mostly because they lack reverb. It was apparently not jarring enough for me to notice during gameplay, though. The previous bleemcast games don't share this issue, since they mostly use streamed audio.
Remember, if I said something incorrectly in the video, feel free to leave a comment correcting me. I'll try my best to add all the corrections to this comment. As always, thanks for watching!
EDIT: Sorry, I should've mentioned that a lot of the gameplay footage is sped up, as some of you noticed. This was to make the capture device's recording errors less obvious. Rest assured, the games don't actually run too fast. Good eye, though!
First reply
Tech Rules Nice vid as always, once I got notified I came straight here I’m watching your vid right now on my tv and commenting on my phone. So far epic vid. I just wished you posted more often. Also I especially loved your vid on 3ds piracy. I’ve been following up on it too and you got it down to a ti!
big man's already got himself a sponsor
Its epic that you have a sponsor but swagbucks is the worst gpt site
@@Vegerotto72 Yeah I'm going to second that, I'm really glad that you have a sponsor @Tech Rules ! However, swagbucks is kinda awful, but I totally get that as a channel still establishing itself your options are limited.
-*Uploads 3 high quality video essays about a niche subject*
-*Hits 100k and starts getting sponsorship deals in less than 5 months*
My God... what ARE you?!
The sponsorship deals aren't really that impressive, at least, this type. Sketchy surveys, crap mobile games, and other businesses just send mass emails to youtubers with a certain number of viewers/subscribers.
When you can grab sponsors that actually produce good products and services, then you have something to be impressed about as far as sponsorships go.
FirelightFS Yeah, that’s a fair point that I suppose I wouldn’t have ever considered. Still, 100k in such a short time frame is nonetheless impressive in its own right
We need something to block sponsores now great
@@3rasvok24 I use the right-arrow key.
A unicorn. (A unicorn is a term in business for a startup that has existed for less than one year and has a value of over a billion)
Sony should have been forced to Pay for bleems legal fees. Winning by burning the competitions money shouldn't be a viable legal alternative
That's how Sony operates. Look at Lik-Sang.
American legal system is very pro-corporations.
Now that you mentioned that, Bleem could have still existed if it weren't for the legal fees.
But yeah, legal fees are a problem in America. You always have to pay the lawyers after the case ends.
You have to pay the lawyers when you lose, you have to pay them when you win, you even have to pay them if the case gets dismissed before it could go anywhere in court.
@@renakunisaki Oh shit I totally forgot that shop/site even existed. Just looked up what happened and that was pretty shitty of Sony EU.
You, sir, are unlocking every new achievement on this platform. A 3rd high-quality video on an unknown topic is just what we need. Thank you.
Gaming historian has a great video on bleem, this is still a great channel tho
I genuinely can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, lol. Bleemcast is pretty well known amongst Dreamcast fans.
awesomeferret there are DREAMCAST FANS!?
'Our claims will bury you in legal fees to the point even though we will lose in court, you will cease to function.'
Frankly the judge should have told sony to pay Bleem for damages by weaponizing the legal system to halt sales.
Or, as in any other first world western country, the english rule should apply and the losing party has to pay the fees it created by falsely accusing the winning party. It's very easy to put any smaller company out of business by just suing over something completely bonkers and having them drown in the costs, even though they won the court case.
There should be laws protecting people from that. The legal system here sucks.

BLEEM stands for Best Little Emulator Ever Made.
Perhaps not objectively the "best" per se, but it is certainly one of the most impressive(Up there with the two backwards compatibility emulators Microsoft made)
@@johnrickard8512 If you're talking about Xbox and Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One, they're actually not emulated. Microsoft literally re-coded the games so they would run on the Xbox One. Regardless, though, it's pretty impressive.
That wasn't the official acronym, it was fanmade, the real acronym remains unknown.
@@SAMISHUKRI No? They're emulated. Original Xbox games were emulated on 360 and both of those were emulated on XB1/XSS-XSX. The reason you can't play certain games on the consoles is that there is a whitelist on the emulator that only allows certain games to run based on what Microsoft sets. This can be due to licensing of the games themselves or bad/untested performance on games.
@@SanicStudios Lmao, you're both right. From what I've picked up, the actual instruction set architecture was transpiled just-in-time (automated recoding during execution) and cached, and it emulated the necessary system calls and traps.
Dude, I just binge-watched your whole channel!
That mustn't have taken long.
Good joke
bro i accidentally did that
@@sucrosa i thought he had a huge channel but he had 4 :(:.
@@andrewtheantivirus2417 dude same XD his voice is so calming!
Bleem! may have died on its hill, but it nonetheless played a pivotal role; The Sony lawsuit set legal precedent and emulators are perfectly legal. The acquisition of ROM (or other) files to work with them might be another matter, but emulators are incredibly important. Eventually the original hardware will have all failed and emulators (or hardware clones) will be all that's left.
Also it being programmed in Assembly is bonkers. I'm more familiar with C++ and C#, but I have taken a look at a little bit of Assembly and I very quickly wanted to nope out of that.
I agree about Assembly. I saw a video where a guy spent nearly 15 minutes explaining what an *IF STATEMENT* looks like.
@@nixel1324 Damn son, I don't even code and I know that's some seriously complex code.
@@Calvin_Coolage For comparison, I could explain that very same if statement in less than 30 seconds for any of the 6 programming languages I know.
@@nixel1324 I suppose, as Tech Rules, mentioned, if you really want total control, Assembly is good. But it sounds like an absolute nightmare to work with. The guys at Bleem were dedicated people.
You know what else was programmed in Assembly? RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2. Chris Sawyer is a beast.
they won the legal court case but still had to shut their company down because of it? thats cool. good system, america.

We must realize the importance of *Free* *And* *Open* *Source* *Software* (FOSS) especially when it comes to emulation, preservation and software development (in general) it plays a important role right now (and future) a fact that we should not avoid to mention.
How are programmers gonna get paid tho. They need money
@@michaelepica3564 well you see, they get paid at least once when someone buys their software for the first time. There's also e-begging.
Very sustainable.
@@coolguy-xd1bg if the softwares free they won’t get paid
@@michaelepica3564 "free software" means t anyone that receives a copy, also can get the source code and the freedom to change it in any way they want (except from changing the license).
You can charge for free software: although once you have given it to another person they can freely distribute it. It makes monetisation more difficult.

Wow, a channel with three videos that is more professional than decade old channels.
Very professional to promote a scam website.

Wow good video let's see what this guy also does....
Oh..
Imagine how we felt when his first video came out...
Im confused. Can you explain?
joe man this guy has only uploaded three videos. You would think he would have more videos because of how high quality, because most CZcamsrs start with low quality videos and then improve over time.
@@mr.serious707 same
Few thoughts on the supposed high performance of the emulator: from what I have known there are two distinct types of emulator, the first seek to emulate every machine instructions to be as close to the original hardware and circuits as possible, and the second only cares about whether or not the game runs on the emulator or not. Because preservation and fidelity is not the concern, the second type do not actually have to emulate correctly the original hardware rather relying on workarounds and hacks to circumvent the original programming, this means you can have considerably less overhead and in some cases even take advantage of the new architecture in ways that are impossible in the original hardware. The drawback is emulators of the second type tends to only be able to emulate one or two games correctly, which is not a problem for the bleem emulator given that every bleem disc is only supposed to emulate the game they are paired with.
Also helps that the PSOne is pretty simple compared to its rivals.
Heaven help Bleem if the Saturn had won that console war.
Who do you think you are for just randomly appear on CZcams and making unexpected good content!?
KnoxMoDz I personally think he's a bored god that decided to make CZcams videos.
I think you just stole my comment from his last video.
i.imgur.com/nTexZVj.jpg
It’s not the most unique comment ever, and we could have had the same idea. But c’mon, dude.
@@FOGSHIE You must feel really proud of your likes when you screenshot your comment as proof and everything lmao. It's not even the same comment.
FOGSHIE I kinda feel it is just two people who happen to think of the same funny comment. Given the expanse of CZcams (especially if you have a few comments already) it is not unlikely to think that two have a similar comment.
Fun fact: Randy (the guy behind the name Bleem) was the person who somehow ported DOOM to the SNES, so he knows what he’s doing.
This guy came out of nowhere and made two amazing videos that got over a million views each, and now he's back for more and I'm loving it. What a legend.
I'm actually proud to be an early subscriber to this channel, I know it will get bigger and bigger. This channel really deserves all the subscribers It has.
Saw this in my recommended which reminded me to turn on that bell. Quality content once again my dude, keep up the good work!
an ASSEMBLY emulator sounds really interesting, and the programmers at bleem must have been real deals to pull that off
Real interesting stuff, I really dig this style. Grats on 100k subs!
I owned each Bleemcast! disc back in the day, it was great being able to play some of my favorite PS1 games in better quality. It sucks they went under.
3rd video ever, 100k subs, and a sponsor congrats dude
Real happy to see you made another video. Really great stuff & I look forward to seeing the next one.
Hearing Tech Rules guy say "dummy thicc" is music to my ears
Thanks for this!
Your videos are really well structured! Really enjoying them so far. Bleem/Bleemcast is a really interesting point in gaming and emulation history, so it's nice to see more people talking about it.
you explained everything without going into cliches or getting lost in discussions that have nothign to do with the main subject matter. straight to the point, i like it
6:41 nice reference to vinny.
Congrats on 100k subs, though its crazy how fast you got there with only 2 vids. I dont think many can say they did that.
@Icylapras24 oh yeah, I forgot someone did it with no vids.
You should make more videos. You clearly have a good grasp on this kind of thing and your presentation is flawless. Great job.
I don't know much about programming, but it seems like these guys' skills were nothing short of godly.
When you get 100k subscribers with 3 videos you know you're a god
With 2 actually. He hit 100k a month ago before this video but since then gained only 3k subs.
@@Diwasho holy shit
Your 3rd video and you already have 100K+ subscribers as well as a sponsor (which isn’t as impressive but amazing than the less) and making acceptable content to the viewers. Congratulations because of the CZcams’s algorithm causing “new” channels to grow heavily in a short amounts of time with low upload rates too. I guess you hit the jackpot (not a big one but still great) and you seem to get the hang of it. Although with your slow upload rate with this video being the latest and is 2 weeks ago. If not be expecting a huge project for now but later on. Yet, the content you make is impressive and blocks the hatred and low effort content-criticism from viewers of your videos.
None the less you make great content for the time being (of course considering this is the 3 video you created and is learning from there hence the top comment of yours). But I’m indeed quite impressed from that possibility. Either way I hope you enhance the content you create for us viewers to watch and learn as you make more! This was just my point of view of what I thought the CZcams’s algorithm has to offer for channels like yours.
Again, I hope you improve with my good luck!

Again, an excellent video! Love the editing and everything!
Dude, I love your videos! They're just so interesting and entertaining to watch. It's amazing how you make all those technical topics so easy to follow, even for a noob like me, haha. I'm really looking forward to what's coming next!
I am absolutely loving the VR end fanfare on _bleem!._ It sounds like it's being played through a Casio.
I guess the emulator couldn't handle audio post-processing that well. The reverb did wonders for the atmosphere of the soundtrack.
I'm not even terribly worried about the hitch when it loads up the clear screen. I noticed, but I played this game to death. It's the music with the lack of reverb that's just utterly killing me. It's a treasure.
I'll be sitting alone in a dark room as I have a depressive hit, and in the corner of my mind, this incredibly shitty version of an awesome musical sting will play and it will _probably_ save my life.
Another excellent video!
comment from a verified creator with only 5 likes and no replies? damn
Love your videos! I would’ve assumed this type of editing would’ve taken years practice but you got the hang of it pretty quickly.
You made a quality video, with an informative topic, used
real hardware to test and capture the games. Not only explained in a
very easy way what an emulator is and what it does along with how. All
the while providing your very own personal point of view after using the
hardware/software yourself. Not to mention the whole investigative work.
Keep up the great work!
3 vids and 100K subs!?! That's pretty good. AND A SPONSOR!
I dont onow how I founf your first video right when it came out but I am very glad I did, thank you :)
It’s always great to see another video from this channel
good job on this video! I love how you focus on really niche subjects that I otherwise would've never known about! really great learning opportunity for anyone watching your videos
Found this through the algorithm. I’ve surprisingly watched your other 2 vids in the past. Subbed now!
almost perfect video save for the part where your playing Law
Score! I was hoping you'd upload again!
Keep up the grzat videos mate, love your work
This channel is an unprecedented success story, I’ve been around CZcams since 2005 and I’ve never seen a channel grow this fast in only 3 videos. Three extremely high-quality videos of course, but even with such high-quality, success this fast is miles outside the norm.
I hope things can keep going so well, I’ve been absolutely loving these videos. Every one of them takes such an obscure topic and makes it absolutely fascinating.
100k.... Wow I subbed at 300 good luck and keep going with your amazing content
Nice vid man, keep up the good work. Also, didn't Sega make any legal actions against Bleep team?
Wielkimati Nope. Sega officially had nothing to say on the matter, and unofficially thought it was a hilarious snub at Sony. Plenty of people from Sega showed up at the bleem! E3 booth in 2000, they were mostly just impressed.
The quality of your videos is super awesome. THIS is what quality content looks and feels like. Very interesting topic aswell! Good job
Nice to see another video from you, and also nice to see a bit more insight into Bleem!
Tech Rules: *exists*
CZcams Algorithm: I'm gonna start this man's whole career.
Just out of curiosity, how come the two vids back to back then the third one months later? Can we expect sporadic random uploads at the same rate, or did stuff get in the way and now your schedule is cleared up again. Not trying to rush or be demanding, just want to know what to expect.
Love your videos! 👍
This is the highest quality content a pretty much newborn channel could make.
And it just so happens to be my favourite type of content. Keep up the work dude, this is really worth it, and your subs are the proof.
I love your hyper specific content, congrats on getting sponsorships so quickly too. Keep it up
3 videos and 100K subscribers that fast? It's unbelievable, but it's amazing.

High-quality content man, I am glad I get to see you grow!
you make some nice videos, been waiting for this. congrats on 100k
This guy made 3 videos and dipped
That's where you're wrong kiddo he is very much alive, he just dropped his FOURTH one good sir!
Wtf good vid high quality but damn 3rd video and a sponsor
What's the problem? That are 2 minutes at the beginning and 10 seconds at the end.
All theses years on the internet and I never thought I would find this kind of thing interesting, love your vids man

You deserve major props. Considering how young this channel is, you're doing really well. Keep it up!
I saw this before the notification came up on my laptop, so Im faster than CZcams
Let's hope the algorithm favours you again, my guy. Good content 👌🙌
Yay, another awesome video! I actually had just watched the 3DS one again today before this video was uploaded!
Just realised i have watched all 3 of your videos without realising there from the same channel. Then i go check what else youv'e done and... yeah.
Amazing videos btw. Keep it up.
I mean, to be fair a good optimizing compiler (on modern hardware) will almost always write faster assembly than a human can.
I'm not saying you shouldn't read the x86_64 instruction set (especially useful if you have insomnia), but parallel programming will probably have a more prolific effect sooner.
Actually, C++ is mid-level, meaning a blend of high- and low-level. It's a hybrid.
He probably meant relatively high level
There are no "mid-level programming languages".
Congratulations on 100k dude! You deserve it.
Everything you make is masterly crafted. Incredible content.
Pfft subbed af, 3 videos an 100k subs lmao niceee

"emulating a game is harder than simply playing a game programmed to run on a console"
wii u: huh? what? i can't hear you *runs wii games in an emulator *
vWii isn't an emulator. It's more akin to a hypervisor, only emulating the (much weaker) Starlet ARM9 security/IO processor and Hollywood GPU. The CPU is passed through although without multiprocesssing and other advances. The Wii U's Espresso CPU is purposely a 32-bit PowerPC core to make vWii's job much easier.
