Oh boy, yeah that was IRC I think

I had to read the theadline a couple times. A vulkan extension to improve directX on linux kinda required to mental gymnastics to parse.
It does make sense in the context of dxvk and all, but it does sound weird at face value

Well, that was the implication ;-)

It will stretch eventually :D

DDD is still a thing?

Doh, that looks like an annoying power connector

But it looks so good!

Grew up on that stuff. We had so many belgium-style comic books at home (and still do)

You had me at cheese

State of the art game dev tools in 1989:

Only vaguely heard about that format before. The disks look fancy.

Shaaaaun!

Forgot you worked on that one too

Was going to tag you @sasquatchers.wtf as it seemed something up your alley, but you were (unsurprisingly) already there :D

I still listen to the soundtrack while working

Such a great game. Need to replay it too.

Yeah that seems like a better game. You can play sim city hundreds of hours, and pretty sure Contra3 doesn’t hold up to that :-)

Oh boy, I own 2 of those items :D

The famous Castlevania: Symphony of the Night screenshot with Dracula sitting on his throne in front of Richter, altered to say "What is a game? A miserable little pile of trigger volumes".

Sound is a bit tricky. I didn't really try to tackle it, but I think it might be fixable (if there actually was sound intended for the build).

In action:

Restored the attract sequence of the Police Academy prototype

Made some progress on re-writing the attract code to something vaguely functional, but graphics aren't loading properly yet.

You’re going to do Eyes on me?

I've only briefly looked at that when I was building the rom, but the title screen display code seems to be called from the method start in attract.mac.
Might also want to compare reset.mac init to what the dumped rom does. The code that display the proto screen is still in there but commented out.

yeah sounds like it. I just display the colors as-is. I guess the rad color was always correct, but their conversion was wrong at some point and they fixed it
