Tonight at 8:30 Europe time or 2:30 EST, we’re firing up the ol’ livestream machine again. @randallinden.bsky.social will be joining @pc98audi.bsky.social and I to talk about the new version of Doom SNES - and there have been major improvements made since the first round of previews went out too.

Happy to release my SNES port of Castlevania! This native SNES port features:

3 Difficulty Levels
14 palette options
6 MSU-1 Soundtrack options
Use A or X to throw subweapons
Swap between 2 subweapons
Rumble support

Available here:

A rumble controller. For the SNES. For Castlevania.

What a day to be alive. Shoutouts to @randallinden.bsky.social and @limitedrungames.com !

Fun tip for Geekfest Everett attendees: @limitedrungames.com's updated version of SNES Doom, which doesn't come out for almost a year, is sitting at the @castlemaniagames.bsky.social booth, set to free play. With the brand-new rumble gamepad! Cc its creator @randallinden.bsky.social

I just got a copy of @randallinden.bsky.social's new SNES-version of Doom and a controller with force feedback: There are more levels and difficulty-modes and, this is the big one: much, much better performance! Absolutely stunning work! You can still order this at @limitedrungames.com!

Here's a blog post you won't want to miss! Digital Foundry's John Linneman @dark1x.bsky.social had the opportunity to interview our very own Randal Linden @randallinden.bsky.social to discuss DOOM, the SNES, and more in this part 1 of 2 discussion!

Thanks for the kind words and suggestion -- I've been asked a few times to do videos or a blog or write a book ... I'm thinking about it for sure!

I got my hands on a prototype copy of the new version of SNES Doom (thanks @randallinden.bsky.social!) Would you... like to.... rip and tear with me? youtu.be/H_iht-uHmgw

@samplemance.rs Was awesome to work with and really went the extra distance to make sure the new music sounded as good as possible!

Over 2 years in the making, and just a technical marvel from the legendary @randallinden.bsky.social makes this one of the coolest things I ever been involved with. limitedrungames.com/products/doo...

Amazing work, Jacques -- so quickly implemented, that's very impressive!!!

Another fine developer's website and blog definitely worthwhile visiting:

I worked with Joe at Microsoft and he's awesome!

I just came across this well-written, insightful and technical blog.

Take a look if you're interested in the complexities of retro hardware and emulation!

I think the DC is capable of many, many things beyond what it's known for ... DC was a console ahead of it's time for sure.

I had no idea there was such a thing as the "Hyperkin SupaRetroN HD Gaming Console for SNES", but it's compatible, looks nice and is cheap!

Awesome work, @hyperkin.bsky.social !

Thanks so much for the kind words and thoughts! I appreciate it!

I just played "Centipede Recharged" on Netflix Gaming and it's really quite good!

I wasn't expecting much from Netflix Gaming, but I tried a few of their games and they're high quality and fun!

Pleasantly surprised!

@netflixeng.bsky.social

Thanks to @randallinden.bsky.social for the shout out - it's a pleasure and an honour to be working with you and the folks @limitedrungames.bsky.social on this Doom SNES update!

YouTube video by Zophar The Internet's First Emulation Streaming Show | Retro Rewind E1

Hey! For all those who just followed me today and are looking for a little emulation history - here's a YouTube video I did last year about the time I ran a streaming emulation "webshow" in the 90s when this wasn't even a thing yet. :) youtu.be/WgZfFdPUeAQ
