iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Over the years I had poked at VP1 and enjoyed it, appreciated it for looking and sounding great. This was the month where I found out there are no extends. At all. I think the furthest I got was the St5 boss. More savage than Raiden...

A few weeks back some friends and I started working on a "Super Metroid from Memory" project. It's coming along decently well (we're at about 10% right now, roomwise).

A room from Red Brinstar in Super Metroid with an item hidden below the floor, recreated from memory.

The pre-high jump room in Norfair from Super Metroid, recreated from memory.

Pet project: 1) Advanced PS1/N64 game extraction (+all animations). 2) Website where you can browse and compare models, textures, animations, FMVs, for preservation. Already have FF7, Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 and MediEvil fully ripped. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame #N64

New skeb day! Here's #VFCR Stella courtesy of Senoji (skeb.jp/@sepua_nosuk...)

To DevilREI
Thank you for the request.
I revised this drawing many times, thinking about what kind of character Stella could be, which is why it took a while.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of her and her story, too.
Thank you very much!

This cover's a great illustration of just how big of a deal Sakura Wars is. Look at it: The series ~being remembered decades later~ is enough to relegate fresh Persona, Silent Hill, Ace Combat, Dynasty Warriors and more news to plain text in the top-right corner.

I’m always amused by how extremely rare retrogaming finds are always just, like… stashed in a basement somewhere, or found at a weird flea market. Yeah, Kazuyuki Hoshino’s personal Mega CD with custom BIOS just turned up somewhere in France, whatever

Your occasional reminder: Never forget, just because a game is running in an emulator doesn't mean it's running correctly & even if it is running as intended, the default settings can still be completely wrong

old tweet showing the correct Riot DIP settings whereas mame gives you 4 lives for reasons unknown, which obviously changes the game balance quite a lot

Things most people outside of Japan aren't aware of & can barely fathom but you can start to work out for yourself with the ACA port As you play an internal timer increases. This timer decides all enemy spawns that will occur in a section. Shooting enemy Radars reduces it slightly. In theory.....

Watching a friend replay Metal Gear Solid and well, we got to a scene with Liquid and I simply couldn't stop myself from heading to Death Generator.

Liquid Snake says to Solid Snake over the codec:

I was thinking about why so many with dominant genes participate in "speedrunning".

Liquid Snake says to Solid Snake over the codec:

The reason is the dominant gene's lack of work ethic ('go fast' rather than 'do it right').

Liquid Snake says to Solid Snake over the codec:

And, in a Petersonian sense, to elevate alternative sexual archetypes in the marketplace ('fastest Snake') .

Somewhat late night update. Replacing all the extremely old stage select art with 12x12 tiles which are higher resolution (and honestly more flexible for me for other tilesets), and up to the more modern art standards. #Addlemoth #gamedev

Question for console modders: I had two Sega 32xes that would boot and play games from an Everdrive mostly fine, but would not boot official carts. They both work totally fine now that I cleaned and reseated the ribbon cables, but does anyone know the technical reason why they behaved like that?
