ok but can you run minecraft off of a PS2 Memory card

>2015 was 9 years ago >im not panicking you are its all a burning memory moment

How have I never heard about DVD-RAM before? Truly the deepest lore

Imagine playing Minecraft off a laserdisk, the thing before CD's and it was pretty much a 2ft CD. Still got an old laserdisk player that still works. Kinda amazing how far things evolved. Like the original xbox had 64 MB of RAM. 64. *MB*. - Minecraft today require over a GB to run optimally today! And you had Halo 1 and 2 running on that thing!

FLOPPY DISK MENTIONED

whoa they put Minecraft on the save icon 💀

I like your content because it cool to see the ways Minecraft breaks when you do weird things to it. also on the dvd-ram at least the lightning strikes are realistic if you're far enough away

We'll somehow manage to play Minecraft on grass at some point in the future.

dankpods played doom on an ipod even booted of the damn thing

Antvenom is my new favorite retro tech youtuber now.

2:38 not the ball fondling 😭

But can you run Minecraft on a 1960s projector???

Mooooooom, AntVenom tricked me into enjoying a history lesson!

I once heard of an old mobile phone (think Nokia age phone) that actually had a thumbdrive-sized spinning HDD with a gigabyte or so in it.

I think I tried to run TrackMania from a rewritable DVD once. It wasn't actually too bad once you got past the load screens :)

3:09 to skip the advertising

1:30 once you see, you can't unsee

Whats next, a washing machine??

Running bedrock on the better performing ones would be easier, but that defeats the point. On the worse ones it wouldn't have worked as java goes back to WAY older and lighter versions. For those running alpha Pocket Edition would prolly be easier. Again, i understand why you didn't do that.

That lightscribe DVD scares me

the gameband is an insane throwback

He's back

I alyway love watching your breaking minecraft vidpesos

Seeing this 28 seconds old is crazy

Commadore 64!! I challenge thee, get Minecraft to run on a Commadore 64 tape. (If you really want to go for gold you could also try getting Minecraft to run on a Magnavox Odyssey)

No, we would not have been using zip disks in place of rewritable CD and DVD, as someone who was forced to use zip disks in college, they were gawdawful to use, had a massively high fail rate, and were a good idea done poorly, made poorly, and just bad all around. I'd be amazed if you can even find a working zip disk or drive at this point, they were notorious for going kaput so ridiculously fast when they were new. otherwise, a fun video. I actually used to have a 1gb and later a 2gb flash drive i carried minecraft and another game around on with me to the local library and on convention trips and such in my younger and stupider days before i cared more about public computer security, pretty sure its the same type ya had in the video and it still works, well kind of, its pretty much a museum piece now still has ye olde original launcher on it and copies of my old beta worlds.

First Mumbo Jumbo, now AntVenom. What's with the grey hairs? Is this some trend I'm missing on? Or have they been there forever and I'm just crazy?

Hi Ant I just went back and watched your farlands video again to show a friend yesterday and you upload today :)) Speaking of "older minecraft" I miss the old Ant Farm Survival videos and was wondering if there was any new versions?

The alpha save format probably saved my original MC world. I had it recovered by a specialist some months ago, and a very small number of the chunk files were unrecoverable (didn't affect any chunks I cared about). Had the world been using a later save format, which saves the world in region files (512x512 blocks) instead of chunk files (16x16 blocks), a much larger amount of the world could have been lost. That being said, oh boy does copying over a large Alpha world take an absolute age due to the sheer number of files involved (in my case, 39702 files).

I'm honestly less surprised by the existence of DVD-RAM or any of the other results of this video than the fact that *MultiMC still exists.* I thought the original author had retired the OG project... I must be thinking of ManyMC. Anyway, RIP Anton Yelchin. Taken from us far too soon.

I'm not old enough to remember floppy disks, but I _do_ remember when DVD's were everywhere. Its kind of amazing how they just... faded away into the realm of "old technology." Feels weird to think about the times of playing movies and games off of them, having stacks of blank DVD's, etc.

Ok, Floppy, sure, but not remembering DVD discs makes you -4 years older than present day, and you're 1yo. Can we stop acting like people currently exist at 10yo or older that don't remember things EVERYONE knows? And please stop with manscaped, hairy men are better men fr.

holy shit, i'm here early for once

I'm 30. Sometimes I forget that there are people who don't know what a floppy disk is because they're too young. I grew up using them... Also, stop telling lies about 2015 being 9 years ago!!!!! 😭😭😭 There's no way that's true. Time isn't real.....

I still use Floppy Disks in my DOS installation. Yes, I still use DOS. And I program in QBASIC.

"And it brings Minecraft to its knees, but that's now all we're doing. hear me out." gawd damn Mr. Venom

Not a big surprise Alpha Save didn't work as well, as it literally takes a lot more time to read and write to hundreds of small files, especially on disk storage. I wonder if performance would increase if you were to put grouped chunks of alpha save files into zip files for the computer to extract and read, then hold world data on the PC as temporary storage, then compress to disk again after closing the world. I know this would need a script to work, but it theoretically solves the big problem.

Breaking the gameplay, not the game. Try some virtual pc and allocate too little RAM and CPU and storage. Probably some way to emulate a slow system.

The game bands were from 9 years ago?? That's crazy. I remember thinking they were a cool concept when they came out. I never bought one though.

Symlinks are amazing. One great usecase is to link all your MultiMC (or in my case, Prism Launcher) screenshots folders!

a 1.44 floppy is in reality 1.47 MB ... for reasons .... Zip Disks were effectively removable hard drives

Really interesting stuff as always AntVenom! For a second, I thought this was going to be a recreation of Minecraft on a Floppy Disk. Not the actual game on one!!

Bred

8:30 every time I say this as a joke, everyone’s always like “erm actually it’s frames per second” and I have to explain 💀

This is exactly what I was hoping when I threw this idea out there. What an absolute masterpiece. I'm honestly surprised with how well DVD RAM was able to run the game. The sound issues make total sense. It would be really funny to see someone try to speedrun off of it, and just how laggy things could get. Hearing the Ender Dragon death sound 15 minutes back into the overworld. The crazy thing is that we may see more issues like this in PC games soon. I run Fortnite on an ancient hard drive, and every map update will take a good 5-10 minutes to load the high res textures for me, despite having an RTX 3080. It's just the storage not being nearly fast enough to load all the assets in at once, so it has to do it piecemeal until everything is caught up. Fantastic video and experiment to see! Yet another certified AntVenom banger.

Oh god I felt like a boomer watching the first minutes (born in 2000 ;w;)

Thank you Hank for filling my head with information that I'll never use for the rest of my life

You could theoretically beat the game on multiple 1.44 mb floppydisks, if you had multiple disk readers in a raid array. (Some raid array types essential link together multiple drives into one big drive).

I remember game bands lol now i feel old :(

Bro didn’t even try a real floppy. Zip disk being called a floppy disk, I heard graves rolling

WTH???!!??!!!!!!!

Man the reference clips in this video are gold!! The Martian ending and Scotty from the Star Trek reboot??

As someone who works on retro hardware sometimes despite never growing up with it, Zip Disks are one of the worst storage mediums ever made.

Yeah the same HHD Model used in the Ipod was also Used in the first gen Macbook air.

If you remember Zip Disc, you don't deserve the veterans discount, You deserve the entire store

Two AntVenom breaking minecraft videos in a month??? this is awesome

ZIP Disc seems to run about the same as Minecraft on my PC without Optifine

Look, we will find the whippersnapper that stepped on your lawn, sir. Please stop waving that case at us.

Minecraft: Lag Edition

Never been this early

And the food still uses the good old floppy And the really big machines

I doubt zip discs would become ubiquitous since they were proprietary.

Technically mklink /J creates a directory junction and not a symlink.

_Imagine if this was pulled off instead with a mini-disc or a umd for PSP._

Me: _going back in time to 2003 to sell 2GB drives for $3333_

Its just built like a tank xD

Blankchunk Jumpscare 3: The return of the null chunk

Floppy disk is clearly the superior way to play Minecraft.

Yoo, ball razor ad

minecraft 3D edition but actually from 1994

Thank you Hank.

How about running Minecraft on tapes or punch cards.

I have a idea, run Minecraft on a manscape product

"I'm not panicking you are" 😂🤣😂

Minecraft Floopy Edition be like:

This video is oddly reminiscent of technology connections.

Could you run Minecraft from a VHS tape?

So cool!

Ive been waiting for this one, and it was worth it.

It's a good day when ant venom uploads

nice

My 1st 1GB flashdrive was $90

Epic! :D

Floppy's goods are and still are cool

6 mins!

No way

Minecraft speed run floppy disk edition

can you run minecraft on a Atari 2600 now?

A

what's with the random movie scenes?

Yes. I love this. Floppy disk fr

Now you just need to try the old 5 1/4" disks (looks like you can only find the drive bays these days), which I think might be next to impossible (there were many drive/disk variants back in the day - I remember some of my old 286 and TRS-80 floppies not being readable on my Pentium I floppy disk). I guess that would be a question of how far back can you go?

3.5 Inch Hard Disk 🤓🤓🤓 But *really* cool idea.

IM HERE 29 MIN LETS GOOO

That gameband sounded interesting, but damn. 120€ for a wrist USB stick

Hello! Thanks for this video, Today I saw video about Apple IIe and about floppy disks and you made video about them too

I would invest

for playing on a cd/dvd/blueray, you could try just running the game off that but have the world save in your hard drive, so nothing needs to write to the disc

nice mention of the zip disk... not many people remember that... I thought 1 gig was so much space at the time it released that I had no idea how I could ever fill it up... now, I'm pushing over 2 TB total storage and have too many games to install lol :D
