Hey y'all, I've been let down on a payment from a client and in a bit of a pickle. I've been adjusting to new meds so it's been a slender month for having a back-up. Picking up copies/bundles of my zine and pp/kofi love would really be appreciated right now. paypal.me/curicuri ko-fi.com/retrobytes

According to a talk event in 2014, peeled shrimps have purification powers in the game because director Kimura Nakaji hates shrimp. It's not actually a feng shui thing.

Looks like the folks over at Stargood Translations just released an English patch for the Mega CD game Mahou no Shoujo Silky Lip. This was an early video game that sold itself as an interactive anime, with many JP fans believing it had an influence on Sakura Wars. stargood.org/trans/slip.php

Chilly Willy's port of Yeti3D to the 32X now mostly works in BlastEm. There are some graphical glitches which is probably due to bugs in the SH2 core. Sound is also missing which is probably because I have not implemented the DMAC yet.
