  1. So last time we had a random power outage literally as we were finishing, and today I've had nothing but setbacks, but we're good to go for more Pokémon Unbound! We'll need to catch up about 5 minutes or so of work, but from there we should be set to continue on our journey to catch 'em all!

  2. Well, now that we've officially finished ever mainline Dynasty Warriors game, let's take a bit of a break from all of the Musou and try out something a bit different here today. I've been finding myself playing a bit of Pokémon on the Steam Deck lately and specifically I've been discovering the vast world of ROM Hacks that these games have. Today, let's try out one of the most well-regarded of these ROM hacks, Pokémon Unbound!

    I'd love to do a similar "let's play every mainline Pokémon game" someday, but I think for now let's keep the scope small, shall we?

  3. If loving video games & video game emulator apps is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. 🎮🔥

  4. Had a conversation on stream yesterday about how some of my deepest online connections are a direct result of self promo (mine and others). So why do I avoid doing it so much? xP

    Anyway, hey, I stream over at twitch.tv/ClumsyGolem if you ever want to come hang out, or even just lurk. Very chill, lots of Fire Emblem, Pokémon, ROM hacks, indie games, and art :)

  5. So, I don't talk Rom Hacks that much, mostly because I feel that is a rabbit hole I could fall down and never emerge from.

    I have massive respect for those who make Rom Hacks, the skill and craftsmanship of some of them are absolutely fantastic.

    Anyway, this one caught my eye as I was going to investigate some more PC-FX stuff. Which seems a bit weird as this is a hack of the Sega Genesis/Megadrive game Streets of Rage 2.

    I have a blog post in the works regarding Sailor Moon La Luna Splende and, in it, I expressed that it is a shame that despite being a cult icon, Sailor Moon has been weirdly absent from the modern gaming scene.

    Seeing a Sailor Moon themed Streets of Rage 2 Rom Hack fills me with excitement, as I am quite a fan of the Sailor Moon beat-em ups and having one that utilises Streets of Rage 2 as a blueprint gives me an enormous amount of hope for this.

  6. Got a new ROM dumper! I'll be using this to backup and extract images from my gameboy camera cart's .sav file.

    Next step will be to turn raspberry pico into a WiFi printer and just pull them via link cable, but this will tie me over until I have time for that project :blobfox3cevil:

  12. NES Pac-Man Bug Update
    Some time ago you may remember I explained here a bug I had discovered in the official NES port of Pac-Man. When you get very far into the game, starting at the 8th Key level, the ghosts spend a long period of time at the start of each level just circling around their home corners of the board. I recorded video of it happening here (30 s

  14. Romhack Thursday: Hyper Metroid Super
    Why do people play romhacks in the first place? I'm setting aside joke hacks (most aren't that funny), and hacks that seek to make something completely different from the original. I'm talking about the normal style of hack, the type that tries to deliver more of the original

    This week's find isn't a romhack specifically, but a way of playing them, both in patching and running them in an emulator, in a fairly automated way, at least if the hack you seek to play is for an N64 game, and especially if that game is Super Mario 64. It's Paralle

  16. Yeah so it turns out the Everdrive doesn't support MBC30 which is necessary for Johto Legends. I'll have to revisit this on an emulator then.

    EDIT: Or actually, I could use the Gameboy Core for the AP I suppose.

  21. If any Super Mario 64 modders see this and comments, by me or some others, don't indicate that this has been done: may I get some help replacing Mario's model with a custom model that I have? I want to turn someone's joke into reality.

  43. Ordered the new reflashable single-ROM GB/C MBC3 cart and portable cart flasher "Burnmaster" from FunnyPlaying today.

    It might be a while til it gets here, but I want to play Crystal Clear on legit hardware without any bugginess, and have it work with Pokemon Stadium 2 as well. Plus it's way cheaper than the other available options (including from insideGadgets) if I buy directly off FunnyPlaying's site.

    Additionally unlike other offerings for single-ROM flash carts, this one uses hard gold connectors, not ENIG, so it will stand up to tons of insertions and removals from the cartridge slot, to the point of matching the durability of original GB/C/GBA cartridge connectors.
