🕹 RetroReversing - Reverse Retro Games 🕹

YouTube video by Hunter R. Perfecting Nintendo's Rarest Item

This is an excellent video and yet another reminder of the genius of Datel employees! I would love more information to come out about the inner workings at Datel.

The recreation of the ice climbers pak is beautiful too:

Sabrina the Animated Series: Zapped! (GBC) features some messages hidden in the EU ROM file:
"Wow Salem, so this is what the inside of a hex editor looks like..."
"Hello there!"
"Hey look! Someone ripped our game!!!"

Fans made a native Star Fox 64 PC port with some modern flourishes A group of talented fans have made a , which they are calling Starship. Even better? It’s technically legal. Harbour Masters, the team behind the project, used a tool that converts the original game ROM into PC executable code, so it doesn’t actually use any proprietary Nintendo code. This is the same method used to create the native PC port of…
