I know, right?

Thank you so much! And yes, it sure does mean a lot.

Oh for sure! I do the same, but every now and then, something sneaks by...

I'm usually great at documenting, but of course my own hubris kept me from thinking there'd ever be a problem with some of this code 😂

Thank you 🙂

(3/3) Anyway, this project is finally back in full swing, and I couldn't be happier. So much polish and hard work has already gone into it, and now I can rest easily at night knowing it'll all eventually pay off.

As always, stay tuned for more updates!

(2/3) On top of this, I've spent the last few days fixing some two-year-old assembly hacks that I had no clue were broken, as well as writing a few more.

I'll tell ya, the only thing harder than revisiting 2+ year-old code is revisiting 2+ year-old *assembly* code 😅

(1/3) I started my "Love Hina: Surprise Engagement" translation patch project back in June of 2023. At long last, I feel I've got a team together that will help get it over the finish line!

Graphics are still in the very early stages, but today I added a brand-new "Bonus Mode".

Oh damn...

Well, I wish you the best of luck! I may want to toy with one of these one day, so reply with an update, if you remember.

This is the CD-DA DAC for the Blaster, by the way. I found many *almost* perfect cables that converted to 3.5mm for it when I was considering SCSI CD-ROM emulators, but none were wired exactly correctly.

I'm using an ArdSCSino Plus. I looked at the Blaster and realized I'd probably have to fashion a custom cable. They really should've just exposed a 3.5mm jack for audio output.

The creator(s) are very open guys though, perhaps consider dropping them a line?

(2/2) For those who'd like a copy, I put together a nice package here with translated readme and changelog:

(1/2) I've been having so much fun tinkering around with my new-to-me PC-98 these past few weeks!

Here's a utility called "SCSI Drive Info". If you know why having all these details in one easy-to-read place is useful, then you know 😂

I can't believe I'm reading this news...

I had the pleasure of meeting Nick when being interviewed for the magazine. What a fun time we had. He had such a wonderful personality.

Rest in peace, Nick.

SEGA sold these hoodies on Amazon a couple years ago. I'm not sure if you can still find them anywhere, but I'm so glad I managed to snag one!

It's one of my favorite sweaters this time of year ❄️

I recommend the tri-blend option.

Love this shirt...

Thank you 😁

To all of my fellow Americans, I'm wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving this year. May you be spending it with those you love, and may you take today to reflect on all of the things for which you can be grateful 🙂

Another fantastic installment of the world's greatest Dreamcast podcast, this time celebrating one of its most iconic games!

I have many warm memories around this game, and listening to this episode was a real pleasure 🙂

Saturn version also includes a bit of exclusive content. Go Saturn if either are convenient enough for you to play on.

Probably my favorite game of all time. You won't be disappointed!

Honestly (and you probably agree), it often comes down to maturity of debugging tools, as well as community knowledge on things like common asset formats.

I'll say this too: Konami used custom compression & event scripting engine for Policenauts. Saturn & PSX tools (if available) might help though.

Much of the game is voiced with no text. However after you clear the game, you have an option to play with text and no voice.

These routines would need to be modified, first and foremost.

I've worked on consoles and computers, and wouldn't assume the latter is easier (though *sometimes* can be) 😅

Sadly no, but it would be a massive undertaking if someone were to ever endeavor to do it.

Enjoying Policenauts the way nature intended.

Hell yeah!

I continue to stay very excited for this one 🙂

Oof... yeah.

I'd get that fixed! 😅
