Just a 🇩🇰 Danish retro game enthusiast and novice translation romhacker I like to share stuff I find around the interwebs that has to do with retrogaming, romhacking, homebrew, and indie projects. As well as other random curiosities and thoughts.

Be sure to check out @goldenageturbo.bsky.social and their ambitious upcoming #homebrew game, that is being simultaneously developed for 6 different #retrogaming platforms! And if you're able, maybe consider supporting their new Patreon~ #N64 #Dreamcast #PS1 #3DO #Saturn #Ngage #indiegame #gaming

I recently visited #Bakken Which is a 400-year old amusement part here in #Copenhagen #Denmark And stumbled into this beauty. The old Lost World Jurassic Park #arcade lightgun cabinet This vintage classic used to be a stable at all the cool arcades back in the day #retrogaming #nostalgia #gaming

What you're seeing here is #BanjoKazooie running on #Dreamcast hardware! By "DCRSDK" It's still rather early in development, But for an early W.I.P it is honestly running remarkably well so far. Full video: youtu.be/tytgJ5rn4aA #retrogaming #homebrew #gaming #Nintendo #N64 #Sega #retrogames

I love how the idea of a #NeoGeo port of #Doom has gone from being considered almost technically impossible, to now actually having several #homebrew projects in the works. This one by @happy-ferret.bsky.social utilizes their "Dread/Bermuda" engine for some very impressive results! #retrogaming

It's been a while since we last got an update on the "Mega #Splatterhouse" project by "Monster Bath Games" But the creator has just posted an update, stating that the project is entering the home stretch. And that they're actually looking into making this an official release. #homebrew #MegaDrive

I love the fact that a game that was never even released in the first place now has a #decompilation #HalfLife famously was scheduled for a #Dreamcast port back in the day, and was pretty much 100% finished before suddenly getting canned Strategy guides even made it to stores #decomp #retrogaming

The original #PS1 classic #SilentHill looks like it might be heading to the #N64! This early #homebrew W.I.P by "KushAstronaut" demonstrates the game running on actual hardware The framerate still leave a lot to be desired, but for an early W.I.P it looks promising youtu.be/v7fM06jmHso #recomp

"TimeSplitters 2" Looks to have gotten itself a PC #recomp! Probably my favorite console FPS of that whole era. Will be great to play through it all again with the addition of some nice modern QoL features The "Anaconda" & "AstroLander" #music still live rent-free on my head #retrogaming #gaming

Well, if #Doom and the Phillip's #CDi isn't a match made in heaven, I don't know what is What's more, is that this branch of the "Dread" engine is also being ported by @happy-ferret.bsky.social to #MegaDrive #3DO #SNES #VirtualBoy and #N64 as well #gaming #homebrew #gamedev #Genesis #retrogaming

"Double Shake" Is an upcoming #indiegame by @rightstick.bsky.social It's love-letter to all the iconic 2.5D platformers of the 5th gen, drawing inspiration from classics like #Klonoa, Tomba, and Mischief Makers All with a colorful and lush look, so representative of that era #retrogaming #gaming

#SuperMario 64 is without a doubt one of the most important and influential games in history, basically kicking of and shaping the modern 3D platformers with the power of the #N64 But, could #Mario 64 perhaps have been pulled off on the #SNES and the SuperFX "Game of Tobi" has put it to the test

* Mega Parodius (MD) Update * Slow but steady progress, Cat boss is near completion - Penguin boss should be much easier ! Had lots of issues with Sprite priority (what shows in front of what ) - all sorted now. Penguin Factory logic was annoying, floating platform and them jumping off the ship !

At first glance, the #NES & #Atari 7800 might come off as somewhat similar 8-bit hardware But in actuality, the way the 2 handle graphics is completely different Which makes this W.I.P conversion of #Contra all the more impressive www.7800tools.com/conversion-r... #retrogaming #homebrew #gamedev

It's really cool how new cheats for all these #retrogames keeps getting uncovered. I would say that Bart's Nightmare is a somewhat prominent game of that era (It certainly seem to pop up more than you'd think at least) So it's strange the official outlets have gotten this code wrong for decades.
