ximwix @ximwix.net · 26/09/2026For #randomgamesaturday I have Akumajou Dracula for the Nintendo Famicom Disk System. Today is its 40th birthday! 1186
ximwix @ximwix.net · 07/09/2026Thanks to AI, kids will never know what the ultimate weapon to use against trolls actually is. 000
ximwix @ximwix.net · 29/08/2026Hey it's Saturday and there isn't a cat sleeping on top of my turntable 🎵 030
ximwix @ximwix.net · 22/08/2026Decent, honestly. I guess if you enjoy things like absinthe and Jaeger this stuff isn't so weird 🤷 000
ximwix @ximwix.net · 10/08/2026I bought a USB soundcard and it shipped with drivers on this tiny CD-R. I guess retro is cool. 010
ximwix @ximwix.net · 04/08/2026Of all the weird things about this illustration, the fact that Mario has five fingers might be the weirdest. 000
ximwix @ximwix.net · 03/08/2026Wow. 2,634 guests. Who could it be? Bytedance. it's Bytedance. I honestly don't mind scrapers, but when they start causing 500's I've gotta do something about it. 000
ximwix @ximwix.net · 01/08/2026It's #RandomGameSaturday and this is Sanrio Carnival for the Nintendo Famicom. And a cat. 091
ximwix @ximwix.net · 19/07/2026Hey #RandomGameSaturday !!! Here is Girl for the My Arcade Go Gamer Classic. 150
ximwix @ximwix.net · 17/07/2026This wine was voted "Most likely to be mistaken for a Smashing Pumpkins album." 010
ximwix @ximwix.net · 28/06/2026If I change the order of the commands so that the COLOR (and its cursor relocation) happens before our LOCATE command, then things work within v2.1 as well. 020
ximwix @ximwix.net · 28/06/2026I stumbled into a discrepancy between Family BASIC v2.1 and v3, in how they handle the COLOR command. it seems that V2.1 moves the cursor when doing this, whereas V3 does not. 110
ximwix @ximwix.net · 13/06/2026Curiously, someone has affixed a label to the top of my Princess Tomato cartridge. It has Famitsu branding -- I guess they included/sold Famicom top labels at some point? 020
ximwix @ximwix.net · 13/06/2026Today's #RandomGameSaturday game is Salad no Kuni no Tomato Hime for the Nintendo Famicom; perhaps better known as Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. The cartridge is the color of fresh lettuce. 161
ximwix @ximwix.net · 12/06/2026Kids mercilessly beating up Donkey Kong Jr. until they get some credits. 020
ximwix @ximwix.net · 12/06/2026Kids poking Donkey Kong Jr. with flattened straws until they get some credits. 020
ximwix @ximwix.net · 12/06/2026Kids throwing small change at Donkey Kong Jr. until they get some credits. 010
ximwix @ximwix.net · 07/06/2026Blob removed! It had gotten itself wrapped around the thermistor wires, so that was fun. #3dPrinting 020
ximwix @ximwix.net · 06/06/2026For #RandomGameSaturday here is Game & Watch Gallery for the Nintendo Game Boy. Who would have guessed that playing Fire for hours and hours would give me practical management experience. 051
ximwix @ximwix.net · 06/06/2026Wasn't much to adjust with the power switch, but remembered I had some DeoxIT from a previous project so I cleaned it up good. Used it on the terminals, as well, so they're looking shinier. 100
ximwix @ximwix.net · 06/06/2026Cursed. I could hear the speakers pop if I worked the power switch slowly. Maybe I loosened the switch somehow. Back inside I go. 100
ximwix @ximwix.net · 06/06/2026Close enough for funk. I swear it looks better in person than when zoomed in with a phone. 100
ximwix @ximwix.net · 06/06/2026Could be worse. Thankfully does not seem to be a lot going on in this portion of the circuit board 100
ximwix @ximwix.net · 28/05/2026What a useful feature. Will keep me from forgetting alt text when drinking 😅 000
ximwix @ximwix.net · 23/05/2026Here is Wai Wai World 2 for the Nintendo Famicom for this rainy #RandomGameSaturday . Fond memories of finding a ROM for this back in the day. Castlevania guy and Contra guy in the same game? And also a baby for some reason? Yes. Another great and very import-friendly exclusive. 062
ximwix @ximwix.net · 16/05/2026For #RandomGameSaturday I have Challenger for the Nintendo Famicom! It's kind of fun, kind of annoying, and the color of light milk chocolate. If you're looking for cheap FC exclusives to add to your cart, throw this one in there. Garf! 070
ximwix @ximwix.net · 12/04/2026With $4000 I can control the tone and tempo, as well, it seems. I converted my listing to let me enter bit strings, since these seem to work off of bit masks of some sort rather than integers. 100
ximwix @ximwix.net · 12/04/2026So now I can play around with it crudely like this. I'll modify the listing to go through address by address and change the values to see what happens. 100
ximwix @ximwix.net · 12/04/2026Cool beans. So this makes audio. It repeats/loops all on its own, and has a kind of mid/long decay to it. And it stops when I press any key. Not sure if it's because that makes the Famicom make a different "keypress" sound effect or what. 100
ximwix @ximwix.net · 12/04/2026According to the memory map in the V2 manual, that $4000 falls into the "system" range, whatever that is. 100
