Heh. So one thing interesting about this is that NES 1942 was a game I pegged as a good exercise for diving into the code and perhaps even rewriting as an exercise. It is only 32k, not very efficient, and lacks some understanding of nes hardware.
They stole the checklist I use when going to a recycling center. @usa_retro

Who can rack up the most TYs in a single run? Will it be Tim, TJ, Fiona, Mike, Jared, or Will? Tune in to find out; until then, check out the rules of the gauntlet!

Shoutout to any of you involved in security updates be you one who writes code or one who has to deploy.
Personally, I have some really mixed feelings about this.
A video game reverse engineering community has shut down because many games can now be trivially reverse engineered and decompiled with AI: "The community aspect of decompilation has been broken."

Est ce qu'il existe un jeu d'arcade 2D avec un framerate plus mauvais que Metal Slug 2?
La série Metal Slug à déjà un handicape rare pour du jeu d'arcade 2D. C'est une série qui est capé en 2 VBL soit 30 fps. Je connais seulement OutRun comme jeu d'arcade 2D capé en 2 VBL et...

Did you know?
In Super Mario Bros 3, if you walk slowly, some enemies will never spawn? For example, this Red Koopa.
In reality, it spawns, walks left and instantly despawns because its off screen.
The Goomba below him is fine because he walks RIGHT instead of LEFT.

Contra Force SA-1 is happening. 😃
Today was a huge win for me, in finally having the SA-1 run portions of the asm, and I want to cry tears of joy with what Im seeing within Mesen. 🥹
Right now It's handling a good portion of the game mechanics. And just THAT alone being processed by the SA-1, holy moly!
I also have the 2A03 to SPC700 no longer doing the traditional SNES/SPC handshake routine, I have the 2A03 buffer sent to the SPC700 via hdma, which frees up alot of processing time.
Next thing I'm going to have the SA-1 handle, is my OAM buffer. The SNES hardware doesn't support 8x16 sprites like the NES can, so I have to manually create the additional 8x8 tile/x/y/attribute. So adding that assembly I wrote for the OAM, be processed by the SA-1, is going to be insane.
Really, I cannot wait to show the before and after down the road of this. 🥹

We fit Metroid Prime into the Gamecube's 24MB of RAM. 4MB of that was the base OS and game executable, leaving 20MB for game data.
To be fair, our output resolution was 480p compared to the PS3 1080p. Still was a challenge to squeeze it into that little memory.
(PS2 had 32MB!)
Anyone else hear the music to the Shinobi bonus stage whenever you deal playing cards across a table?

This gameplay footage is perfect. PERFECT!
Except it can't be "footage" because I forgot to press record first. Gaaaaah.

ファミコン版ドラクエ３は調布のマンションで開発した
ごく普通のマンションで、まさかここであの国民的ゲームが開発されたとは誰も思わないだろう
確か間取りは60平米位の2LDKで、会議部屋、事務部屋、そして開発部屋があった
大学生スタッフは昼間学校に行ってるので、その間はほぼ僕1人だけど、夕方から夜になると段々と人が増えてくる
向かいのマンションから部屋が丸見えで、近所の子供たちがドラクエ開発しているのに気が付き、下校時間になるとそのマンションの廊下にズラっと並んでこちらを見られたりしてた
一晩中大勢いる事も多々あったし終盤は24時間営業、ぶーちゃんなんかバグ取れなくて奇声を発したりして、普通のマンションなのによく苦情が来なかったと、今でも思う
そして例の台所。チーフ就任や正社員、実は２か月の開発期間延長を中村社長に訴えたのもこの台所
まさに歴史が変わった伝説の台所だ（大袈裟）
そんな場所に興味がある方は↓をどぞー

Went to an expo and didn’t buy anything. Feels weird.
But I saw a lot of great people there, and that’s the reason I went!
