Sometimes when my shovel digs a really good hole, I let it dig a smaller second hole as a little treat.

SILKSONG!!!

I found the motivation to add MBC1 support to my little Game Boy emulator. The list of games it can (theoretically) play has grown a ton with this addition!

While not groundbreaking, this has been a ton of fun to work on.

My janky Game Boy emulator is passing all the CPU tests! 🥳

Most of the other tests are still failing, but I'm ON IT.

A screenshot of Dr. Mario gameplay for the original Game Boy playing inside a custom emulator with the wrong colors in some places.

Bonus screenshots of broken Dr Mario:

The animations on the sprites play way too fast and the palette is all screwed up. It's great!

Now I'm doing the traditional practice of working through the Blargg test roms to try and weed out problems and improve compatibility.

I've been working on a Game Boy emulator in C# as a portfolio project and for general skilling-up reasons. Also because I find emulators interesting.

I've hit the milestone of getting Tetris to run. Just about every other game explodes in some way, but check out my tetrominos!

We're in a fake content boom. I noticed Amazon gets hit with a wave of AI generated "strategy guides" prior to big game releases that contain nothing but robot hallucinations.

Ethically, some of this is fraud. Legally it's... complicated.

Just need 3 more reviews and I reach 100! If you played it and liked you know what to do 😊🙏🏻

Add a USB hub and Bluetooth mouse, then this is perfectly fine as long as she doesn't plan on doing anything graphically intense.

alas, I can only friendship from a distance

As a follow up to this, I'm still stupid. I'm just not young anymore.

Back when I was young and kinda stupid, I remember they added a suggestion box to our high school's cafeteria.

I submitted a suggestion that they put up a box for people to submit suggestions.

A few days later there was a second suggestion box, right next to the first one.

I appreciate that you channeled the GamePro rating system for this.

haha nice

A thread on colourblindness & #gamedev -

If your approach to colourblindness is full screen filters, you're *doing it wrong*, and causing more problems that you're solving.

If you see a game that has filters, they're doing it wrong. If you see a game that has a 'strength' slider - don't copy it.

Thanks, I hate it.

This is where we used to live. 🎶

I just keep up with my discovery queue and wishlist anything that looks promising. At some point down the road after I've forgotten about it, I get an email about a sale and I check out reviews and deck compatibility then. But that also means I'm not playing new stuff on day 1.

I wasn't sure what to post, I was at a loss for a few minutes.
