The wait is almost over.
Mina the Hollower launches Spring 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Steam.
It's been over a year since the last major update but I hope it's been worth the wait!
GB Studio 4.2.0 includes over 180 changes, improvements, new features, and bug fixes, making it the biggest release so far.
Available today at: chrismaltby.itch.io/gb-studio
Finally.
Enjoy the pixel art!

I've been playing around with @crocotile3d.bsky.social yesterday! Here's a little basic scene with my asset packs!

Syndicate Wars Fan Expansion, or syndwarsfx, is an open source reverse engineered port of Syndicate Wars to modern platforms.
Release 0.3.8.3283 happened this past Halloween.

Those getting their teeth into Final Fantasy Tactics this month, don't miss out on Rad Codex's RPGs, especially Horizon's Gate.
All of his games have a very FFT-inspired combat engine/class system. Horizon's Gate pairs that with an open-world age of sail sandbox story and TONS of mods to boot.
Incredible! We’re thrilled to share that Threads of Time has now surpassed 350,000 wishlists on Steam. Thank you all for the amazing support!
Started out with the original Gran Turismo on PSX. Led to my lifelong love of Japanese domestic market cars. 🥰
If you need more encouragement building your #GameBoy emulator I have another video for you, this time it's about building the graphics system
Good luck!

TIL, ubicloud is an open source alternative to AWS. Elastic compute, block storage (non replicated), firewall and load balancer, managed Postgres, K8s, AI inference, and IAM services github.com/ubicloud/ubi...
Pokemon Violet runs so good on it, like a new game 😮 Same with many other Switch 1 games even if they did not get a Switch 2 patch
Really looking forward to Arceus being patched

Buy a portable and get a desktop free.
the repositories are accessible both on HTTP and HTTPS for maximum compatibility with the old hardware. Not expecting HTTPS to work on the actual devices without significant amount of work.
I am hosting a mirror of old #maemo APT repositories and maemo tooling for obsolete #Nokia Internet Tablets #N770 / #N800 / #N810 / #N900. I have not had time to test them myself so would appreciate feedback on whether they work on the actual devices.

This much cool should be illegal
Opening Ceremony is Live!

(also you can just open this cdn.c3voc.de/hls/revision... through VLC or whatever)
Ah, I missed that the big update for Cassette Beasts is out! Adds a new party member with a personal quest that continues after the main story's end.
Still the best indie creature-collector game, and with an amazing soundtrack. So many vocal battle themes...
Enter the world of “GeGeGe no Kitaro” at this yokai-themed cafe in Chofu! 👻🍵 A tribute to Shigeru Mizuki’s iconic manga, it’s full of quirky treats and nostalgic charm. A must-visit for fans of Japanese spirits and classic manga!
Last year I started playing (and sadly not finishing) FF7, and I got thinking about how Square during their PS era would still release games on Nintendo handhelds, and then I had a wild idea. What if FF7 wasn't so succesfull so they had to make a GBC version? #pixelart #gameboy #finalfantasy7
Good morning! ☕
(This is not a blasphemy mod. It was a product sold by SiliconGraphics in Germany. There is even a spec sheet for the Espressigo. Ask google if you don't believe me)
How did Epyx Fastload, one of the best selling carts on the C64 work? Commodore History has the investigation - and a really clever illustration of how serial buses networked when all you had was 8 bit bytes. (Check out the original dev in the comments!)
Game changer.
From the same dev as SIDkick Pico.
Cheap, easy build. Very versatile.
REU + geoRAM + lots more. #C64

They wanted to make the world's best video game. They made the world's best selling computer.
This is probably the rarest device that I own. The #Nokia N950 Developer Kit. Many times I wonder what could've been if #meego & #maemo had won in the smartphone operating system wars.
Loved the qwerty keyboard on this and the other Nokias of the era!

My first was Pokemon Red when it was released and I chose Bulbasaur back in the day. My all-time favorite Pokemon is Snorlax. 😅
