Rich Whitehouse

Pretty sure it’s just making it harder for me to live my life while offering no relief from my relentless awareness of the world around me. I think I need another few dozen infections, or maybe just a good old fashioned lobotomy.

Time will destroy everything, but it destroys those who give a shit even faster. Good bye, my friend.

There are a bunch of things you can try, many of which are detailed here: www.richwhitehouse.com/jaguar/index...

I’d bet you could get byte-perfect data back out if you’re willing to accept a relatively low baud rate. Problem is getting the bird to just repeat small segments when you detect an error, so you don’t have to repeat the whole sequence. We can’t get a BMI involved or it’s cheating!

Yeah, I’ve found that prior to the PSX era, source is often lost even for huge first party IP titles where you’d think they’d have known better. It’s way worse than I ever would’ve thought before I started working professionally in that domain.

The PNG makes it sound like he’s devised a way to fully preserve the Huffman/LZ-encoded bits on both sides of the bird transfer, but all he did was make a spectral image representation. It’s all lies, this is not the bird network future I was promised.

Yeah, FFX is supported with anims. I hit every FF from 7 to 15. :) My interest shifted over to emulators, so I never had the compulsion to look at 16, but I know my friend Joschka did do a plugin for 16.

I'm also visualizing damage masks now, and tracking transition frame counts. KI filters all attacks through a 2D matrix, so a player's hit box will gray out whenever the opposing player's attack state fails the damage matrix test.

This difference becomes even more significant as offset increases on the Z axis, such that you notice a difference in where jump attacks connect in relation to the rendered sprites. Air attacks appear to connect at different heights on the Riptor and Orchid stages, for example.

Projecting KI collision space with perfect accuracy, I noticed that hit shapes significantly deviate from the visuals across stages! Take a look at the different offsets for Fulgore's idle hit shape at the same scale/frame on 3 different stages.

The next BigInstinct will have a training mode, which goes beyond any training mode I've ever seen: hit shape visualization, exact frame timing displays, slow motion, and a lot more!

My favorite to-date was “call your boss out for trying to make you perform free labor while on unpaid medical leave.” But to be fair said boss did come from Activision, so I can’t take all the credit.

Praising the Lords live in Tucson, with BigPEmu for iOS and VLM! (VLM is responding to live audio from the microphone)

Amazing performance from @lordsofacid.bsky.social! Couldn’t have asked for a better set list.

BigInstinct version 1.0-B3 is out now! Here's what's new:

BigPEmu for iOS is on sale for $6.69 from now until June 7th, in celebration of the Day of Darkness. Happy Hell Day, everyone!

There were a few more changes in the last week and a half or so since the Patreon release, so it’s probably still worth the update. (especially if you plan to play Val d’Isere)

Yeah, the update is still waiting on Apple’s approval. Usually doesn’t take them too long, I’d expect it sometime in the next 48 hours.

‎BigPEmu ‎BigPEmu is the first Atari Jaguar emulator to feature compatibility with the entire retail library, along with excellent performance and a wide variety of unique features: • Fast. The emulator runs ...

BigPEmu version 1.19 is out now! This is what's new.

I still haven’t managed to suffer all the way through this one, but I’m making my way through gradually (mostly in the bathroom) with the assistance of saved states and my iOS port.

Nope, what makes you think I’d be involved in that one?

Here's some red-cyan anaglyph 3D footage.

Getting this to work this well across both games took a lot of work! If you want to help give me the freedom to keep using my powers for this kind of evil, please sign up: www.patreon.com/richwhitehouse

Cross your eyes and behold a true miracle of emulation: Killer Instinct in stereoscopic 3D at 60 FPS! It's working beautifully on every stage in both KI and KI2.

BigInstinct is out now!

I now have all of the Killer Instinct timing and signal data anyone could ever want, thanks to the kind folks at Level One Arcade Bar in Mesa, AZ!

As a bonus, we got to see @justjakesimpson.bsky.social when he still had hair in NBA Jam.
