  1. In the beginning of the game, your mother warns you not to lose your starting artifact, the Stardust Pendant.
    I'm SURE this isn't foreshadowing anything.

  2. Hey there, lovely people. Greetings today from #Leipzig at #LNC2026 at HTWK.

    If you are in the city come by, tell about this posting and let's chat. 🙋🏻‍♂️🤍

  3. Old school games require old school secrets.
    In Gunhawk for NES, you can continue from a Game Over by holding the A button when pressing Start.

  6. The decision to connect GPIOs in random orders for PCB layout optimizations might be a mistake. I suddenly need to deal with this man-made horror beyond my comprehension. #electronics #NES #NESdev

  7. My RF design rules paid off! The 5 ns edge from the STM32H7 GPIO is one of the purest edges I've ever seen, even though I'm using a two-layer board (which features 120 Ω all-microstrip routing on a gapless plane, source termination, and one ground per signal test point). It's even cleaner than my clip-connected function generator. #electronics #NES #NESdev

  8. My Famicom cartridge emulator devboard arrived, time to start developing firmware using this platform. #electronics #NES #NESdev

  9. Demoing my homebrew NES games at Minnebar (Local Minneapolis tech unconference) for a bit of fun. :D

    Edit: you can play them in your browser too if you aren’t here! slembcke.net/nes/

  10. Unbelievable. I wanted to simulate the NES CPU clock so I turned the knob on my analog function generator (no DDS/PLL, with digital counter) for 1.79 MHz randomly. After running it for a day, I found the oscilloscope shows the signal has a period of 558 ns (the theoretical period should be 558.73 ns). Nanosecond precision with a potentiometer. ​:blobcatlul:​ #electronics #NES #NESdev

  11. Meet the StompEye, one of the creatures you'll meet in Even Goblins Fall In Love, an indie JRPG for the NES.

  12. I updated the main menu of options for the Steam version of Fire And Rescue.
    My first job in games was implementing menus, so it's kind of nostalgic to jump back into this sort of work.

  13. Once I let the user map keyboard and joystick presses to emulated buttons, save settings, and save SRAM, I called Family Size VM feature-complete. youtu.be/v9YBDkoBBlA #FamilySizeVM #emudev #NESdev #timelapse #emulator #joystick

  15. Some caves in Even Goblins Fall In Love are quite dark. Remember to bring a torch with you just in case.

  16. Trying to keep my schematics as readable as possible, as usual. #electronics #NES #NESdev

  17. I made a menu system for my NES emulator that looks like a 1990s to early 2000s TV's on-screen display.

  18. While Even Goblins Fall In Love is a love-letter to old-school JRPGs like Dragon Quest, it does include some modern kindness in its design. For example, if you are defeated in battle, you can retry the battle from the beginning.

  19. ProTip: You can pretend to be both an old-school engineer and an RF engineer by enabling "fillet tracks" ​:blobcatlul:​ #electronics #NES #NESdev

  20. Fixed more problems found in design reviews, such as connecting 5 V inputs to some 3.3 V-only pin. There's also no time to generate the /CE signal for PPU VRAM, unless the microcontroller itself emulates the VRAM. This is too much effort to implement for the first phase development, better to use an external mux for now. #electronics #NES #NESdev

  21. One way to tell how long parts of a program take, such as emulated chips in a video game system, is to turn off each part and measure how long it takes to run.

  24. A town inside a dungeon? Something strange is going on in Even Goblins Fall In Love's final dungeon.

  25. A strange creature approaches and stares at you unblinkingly. It is an Eyeful, one of the many creatures you may encounter in Even Goblins Fall In Love.

  26. You can, of course, use magical keys to open doors. But, you can also use them to instantly defeat Mimic-type enemies in Even Goblins Fall In Love.

  27. Hey lovely #NESdev people. NESbag 2.6.0 is here!

    Finally change the program/game icon yourself. It was a pleasure to create custom versions for many of you, but now it's your turn ... 😆

    Thanks 😍

  29. One of Lin's signature tools is the Stardust Pendant they receive from their mother. This pendant will let them re-roll a limited number of times in combat to score critical hits or evade enemy attacks.

  30. 4 steps to draw sprites in an NES emulator
    - copy the display list from work RAM to object attribute memory inside the PPU
    - scan OAM for sprites that overlap each line of dots
    - fetch their patterns from video memory between lines
    - shift the pixels out while drawing the next line

  32. A Mimic is a classic staple of fantasy games. You open up a chest expecting to find gold coins and instead encounter malevolent eyes and a horrid, grasping tongue.
