Did you make sure to bring font for the whole class?~

It looks like we haven't seen the last of the remarkable "Amped Up" #romhack for #Mario Kart 64 This is already what I'd consider the most impressive MK64 hack out there, both in term of quality, content, and innovation If you haven't tried it yet, make sure to do so #N64 #romhacking #retrogaming

Quality is worth waiting for. And slop is worth skipping. So the choice here is a no-brainer.

I got the originals back in the day but I'm not really sure I can justify getting these revisions just for some improved Bluetooth controller support :/

That game is such an impressive showcase of exactly what the Mega CD could do on a gameplay level. SoulStar is another favorite of mine that really shows off some nice scaling effects

We don't mess with traditions after all xD And well, I try to gather as much info as a can when sharing stuff, but I don't always have all the pieces so I try to not claim or assume anything AI related unless officially stated. And even then, we can't always trust that xD

I really need to get myself a Hyperbolic Time Chamber

Well, now I really want to see an attempt at a Sonic the Fighters Saturn port TwT

The final product is more than just the sum of its parts, but it's every part coming together that makes it what it is, and your contributions helped improve the quality of the overall game. So don't sell yourself short ;)

Oh. I just found the GitHub It would seem this thing is also heavily Claude coded -_- Guess I shouldn't be surprised...

You say that now, but let's see how you feel after eating my dust in some Mario Kart for 10 rounds xD

The devs stated that it's not using AI. But these days that is almost such a novel concept that it should be plastered all over the project xD

It's definitely not running on original hardware I was having a bit of a hard time actually figuring out exactly what this thing is as there was no description From what I could gather it's not a recomp or romhack but more of an emulator that is able to intercept the SVP and render its own picture

I'm glad you were able to land yourself a copy of the game :D I was in a similar situation, purchasing old animation cells from the old Captain N show, but my resources were very limited and I sadly never managed to get a good full shot cell of the game master himself

When the entire road is just one long shortcut, what is even the point. The journey and skill that failure teaches along the way is also what shape the final products, given them the human touch and charm

Te Mega CD especially never really came to its right imo Devs all seemed to just decide that that thing was "good" at FMV stuff and never bothered with all the other cool features it had like it's native sprite scaling and rotation support I want to see a parallel timeline where it was successful

I'm always thrilled to see this passion projects! You guys are doing such an amazing service for both the retrogaming scene, preservation and actually making these games available to audiences that could never got to play then. Keep up the fantastic work!

They are just making it so hard to get excited about anything these days

I am honestly just thrilled to see all the attention the little mushroom is starting to see from the retro community. The add-on never got a real chance to truly show off what it could do, but perhaps the fans can now tap into all that hidden potential all these decades later

Rejoice! @chaputranslations.bsky.social has just announced their next upcoming English #PS1 patch! "Schrodinger's Cat" Finally making this little curiosity accessible to Western audiences And guaranteed to have #NoAI Check out the full trailer: youtu.be/HOoSvz7-oIs #retrogaming #romhacking

At least that was worthy of the Gold X Award

Decomps have gone from being such a promising and exciting frontier, to something where every new project that pops out is likely to just be another soulless Claude husk.

A new #homebrew platformer has just landed on the #GBC "The King's Return" by @towea.bsky.social Play through 30 stages, spread out over 6 unique worlds with varying gameplay styles Physical carts available through @brokestudio.bsky.social Demo also available #gameboy #indiegame #retrogaming

It sucks so hard that decompilations went from something so promising, exciting and cool to something that now just seen to leave a bad taste in the mouth whenever you dare trying to get excited over something, only to realize it's just another soulless race to the bottom

An update on the future of decomp.dev.

Well, this sure is depressing news Due to the massive influx of #AIslop creeping into the vast majority of #decompilation projects, the owner of decomp.dev has decided to sunset their website that gamers could use to keep track of on-going #decomp project :c A service that I, myself, used a lot
