This was such a cool thing to see in person, on real hardware @angrylanks.bsky.social doing scroll glitches on my SNES version of Castlevania at NESFest

Just got back from RWX and pushed a small fix for level 6-1 of Castlevania where you could get stuck in the stairs.

It wouldn't be a release without a few quick follow up fixes. Fiuke Bnuy has fixed a few minor things, including changing the bones to match the skeletons. Note for all these releases, there's no changes to the msu files, so if you're downloading it, you can just grab the .sfc file

I'm incredibly excited to release version 1.2 of my Castlevania Port! This version adds 16 graphics on top of all the features of my existing Castlevania port. In collaboration with Fiuke Bnuy, we updated the graphics and reworked tiles and levels to look better with the additional color palette.

I'm going to be attending retroworldexpo.com, and I'll have a build of the 16-bit Castlevania there on an actual SNES cart that you can check out! I'll also have my other ports available to try, and I always love chatting with people about the ports, romhacking, and anything else!

It's taking a bit longer, but I think the results will be worth it. Here's the progress on updating the tiles for Castlevania. This is the outdoor section of lvl 4 (stage 11) with updated tiles and tile groups. Please forgive the terrible game play:

After editing tiles, tile groups, and level vertical slices for several months, I'm starting to think I should just make a 16-bit Castlevania level editor

Rumbleminze @rumbleminze.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

I pushed a change last night to the Double Dragon NES to SNES conversion to fix a bug which prevented the MSU1 audio from working in the game. Not sure when I broke it, but if you've been wanting to hear the Gaiden soundtrack pick up the new .sfc from the usual places.

Done with my R.C. Pro Am SNES port. I thought about adding a few features but honestly, the game is pretty good as is. I didn't add MSU-1 since there's no in game music If anyone finds any issues, please let me know! archive.org/details/r.-c... mega.nz/folder/ApJnH...

RC Pro Am is just about done, but as they say the last 10% takes half the work. Rare did some unique things in their code, and I've been playing bug whack a mole, but it's been pretty stable and plays great

Bit of a hiatus, but work continues on my next port, it's coming along nicely, and it does things very differently from other games I've ported so it's been a fun learning experience. Here's the current progress for it, enjoy!

A special extra port that I did over the last week or so. Ice Hockey! In honor of the double gold medal winning USA Men's and Women's hockey teams at the Olympics! No big features here other than a bit of rumble support if you've got the LRG controller. Available Here: mega.nz/folder/4phX1...

I was finally able to dig into why my Castlevania II SNES port's Save Menu was locking up only in Snes9x. (For those curious, it appears to be something related to how it handles reading the $4210 register). I've updated my port to version 1.2 which should now fully function in Snes9x.

I've been spending some time the last few days collaborating with Fiuke Bnuy on this update to my Castlevania port. I think it's going to be really cool if we can pull it off. All of the tilework is done by Fiuke, I've just been providing scaffolding and support on the romhack.

FYI, seems like the in-game save menu in Castlevania II is not compatible with Snes9x. No idea why since it's fine on original hardware. Passwords should still work.

And now a fix for my latest game! I missed the knockback sound effect (actually all dcpm sfx, and am going to go back and see if CV2 uses any more). I've rectified the situation and updated both archive.org and mega.nz locations with the latest file. Music disabled in this clip to demonstrate.

I just finished uploading new versions of my first 8 ports (everything up to Castlevania 1/2). Most of the games got only a minor change in how I read the joypad data in order to support more modern controllers like the Limted Run Games Rumble controller I'll outline other changes in replies here!

As always, all my NES to SNES ports are open source. The last step after every port is cleaning it up, and backporting improvements to my template. There were over 750 builds to get this port out. And a LOT of things learned and improved along the way. github.com/rumbleminze/...

@displacedgamers.bsky.social - you might appreciate this. This is the unmodified NES Castlevania II game, bankswitching 108 times in one frame. Maybe if you get a free weekend you can tell me why in the world it does this.

Another post on Castlevania II Progress! I'm in the middle of tackling attributes, which control the palettes the BG tiles use. It's one of the more complicated undertakings in the ports, but it's coming along nicely! Here's a couple minutes of footage of the beginning of the game.

Rumbleminze @rumbleminze.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

Ok, maybe someone knows more about this than me. But why does Castlevania II on the FDS have so much English text? The prologue and the ending are both entirely in English. Is that not odd? Did Japanese children know enough English to read this? The rest of the game is all in Japanese.
