Star Fox CD thing: Added Daytona mode! The landmaster is swapped with the Hornet, and the BGM is replaced with one of the 4 songs from Daytona USA! We've been playing Daytona USA a lot lately, so we thought it'd be funny, lol. (level shown is a placeholder)

Star Fox CD thing: I figured out how to smoothly fade the 3D palette! I have some ideas of where to use this. It really only "works" if the palette it fades to is distinct enough from the previous, otherwise I find it hard to notice at all.

www.twitch.tv/sunlitspace542 Live now with another dev stream!

Dev stream happening tonight at around 7-8pm EST! www.twitch.tv/sunlitspace542

happy 2006!!!

Stream should be back now, I think? Internet was having issues.

twitch.tv/sunlitspace542 Another SFEX rumble dev stream will happen tonight at around 8PM EST! The last one was so insane that we had to do another one. I can't guarantee any actual work will be done, lol

www.twitch.tv/sunlitspace542 Dev stream soon! Going to be working on rumble support for Star Fox EX today! (not because Kando told me to or anything) I was going to do this tomorrow, but some crazy advancements just happened and I've got the itch to do something again.

Star Fox: All-Range, now available as an IPS patch from romhackplaza.org/romhacks/sta... Big up to the whole SF community for ideas/ feedback/ counselling, and especially @kandowontu.bsky.social @sunlitspace542.bsky.social @euclidium.bsky.social @mightyandross64.bsky.social for assets and advice

Update on StarFox All-Range, it's close, although it will just be a tech demo for now. I just need to add title, credits and do final testing. Built on Ultrastarfox by the goat @sunlitspace542.bsky.social

Star Fox CD Update! Uploaded a little update video where I ramble about optimizations to the sound driver for 16 minutes: youtu.be/8FDkZtVVfCY

I was able to rearrange ARAM and was able to fit in the new voice sample and matching patch data, so these are in game for real now!

SFCD Update! Miyu and Fay have their own voice SFX! Phonymike's sound driver disassembly has advanced to where we can insert new SFX data within the existing pointer table slots! (1/6)

We got a new progress update video from @sunlitspace542.bsky.social On his super ambitious & impressive "Star Fox CD" #romhack project A #SNES hack with tons of cool features - New vehicles & levels - Super FX 3 support - SNES Rumble Courtesy of @randallinden.bsky.social #romhacks #retro #gaming

SFCD Update! The Landmaster is almost done!! The movement code and clear cutscene are finished. The last thing to do is make special laser models for it, and it'll be ready to use in a a level! (don't know exactly where yet)

SFCD update! added a third vehicle, the Landmaster from SF64! Thanks to @chuckborisnorris.bsky.social for the base code. The trick here is the turret is the real player object and the body follows it. This lets me reuse the Arwing's movement code to move the turret separately. (1/2)

Star Fox CD update! Stage 1-1 has been completed and a new progress video has been published covering the changes over the ~5 months since the last one! Go listen to me ramble about this thing for 30 minutes: youtu.be/1LbKoPqM6QQ

@kandowontu.bsky.social wrote an article listing all the rumble compatible SNES games so far for @metalgamesolid.bsky.social ! Go read it! metalgamesolid.com/hacks-mods/romhacks/snes-rumble-roundup/ See Randy's list on the SNES rumble GitHub as well: github.com/LimitedRunGa...

SFCD update! (shocking, I know) Added pause music using the MSU-1 revision 2 resume spec! I actually had to modify Mesen for this as it doesn't support this feature unlike other commonly used SNES emulators and FXPak Pro/SD2SNES. Other things have happened too... (1/2)

Blog post where I ramble about the making of the latest release: www.patreon.com/posts/attack...

New Release! Rumble pad support for the SNES version of PETSCII Robots! romhackplaza.org/romhacks/att... This was a fun exercise in reverse engineering and disassembly after not doing any ROMhacking in a while. I've never made a hack without source code/a good disassembly before this one.

影山雅司 永眠のお知らせ We are deeply saddened to share that Gimmick! composer Masashi Kageyama has passed away.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Bleem & Doom SNES creator Randy Linden. It was a blast talking with him and I think most retro enthusiasts would enjoy listening - Just search any app for "RetroRGB Randy", or check out the main link here: www.retrorgb.com/interview-wi...

Just rolled out yet another bugfix for Shindou Edition and all other rumble enabled Star Fox patches. v1.2 fixes extreme instability on Kando's SNES (yes, really, v1.1 worked fine on my console) Thanks to Kando for figuring it out and sending me the fix! rhpz.org/27460

Just rolled out a bugfix for Shindou Edition and all other rumble enabled Star Fox patches. In Shindou v1.0, if if you pressed start at just the right time in the intro, the Attack Carrier’s rumble sequence would continue past the intro.

NEW RELEASE!! Star Fox Shindou Edition is out!! rhpz.org/27460 Thanks to @kandowontu.bsky.social for adding sequenced rumble support to my code, and HUGE thanks to @randallinden.bsky.social for his help in getting all this to work!

I've made a new website to replace my old Carrd page: sunlitspace542.github.io This will be where I host information on my works, among other things such as (possibly) a blog.

A little write-up about SNES rumble and Star Fox Shindou Edition (public): patreon.com/posts/133850... Like Kando, I will also be posting the patch for the latest Shindou beta for paid members. Reminder that you can support my work for as little as $3/month!

You can see (or rather, hear) Star Fox Shindou Edition towards the end of this video! I hope to release it soon, I'd say it's already 50-75% complete now. I'm just adding the small details and adjusting things, the real controller is much stronger than Mesen emulates it, lol. youtu.be/qkhlXphv3I8

HUGE thanks to @randallinden.bsky.social and @limitedrungames.com for sending me a SNES rumble pad prototype! It's honestly the best 3rd party controller I've used, I think it'll be my main one from now on. SFCD now supports rumble, expect a patch for the original Star Fox soon!

twitch.tv/sunlitspace542 Stream has started!

www.twitch.tv/sunlitspace542 SFCD development stream starting soon!

New Patreon Post (Public) I will be using this site to post detailed project updates as I see fit from now on, I don't have to worry about the character limit like I do here or on Twitter. www.patreon.com/posts/welcom...

I can't think of any better way to announce this, but I now have a Patreon page. Kando said I should open one, so I figured why not. patreon.com/SunlitSpace5...

Star Fox EX 1.11.02b is out on ROMHack Plaza! Just a quick hotfix patch that keeps the RNG routine working after a game over. romhackplaza.org/romhacks/sta...

I figured out how to stream data from the MSU-1 data file and added the code for it to my MSU-1 driver source on GitHub: github.com/Sunlitspace5... Still deciding on whether to use this feature in SFCD, but decided to implement it anyway, some people may find this code useful.

Star Fox CD Update! Wrote my first PATH language enemy, the Killer Bee from Star Fox 64! I did use PATH to script the intro, but this is the first object I've programmed in this language that can be interacted with in-game without any crashes.

Star Fox EX 1.11.02a is out on ROMHack Plaza! Tons of bugfixes, new stuff, and a brand new fancy PDF manual! romhackplaza.org/romhacks/sta...

Star Fox CD update! The training mode map has been finished! The first two new enemies have also been modeled and programmed. See the progress video I put up on YouTube: youtu.be/OgqaVdLBEeo

The FAQ has also been updated! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Star Fox CD Updates! Work is in progress on the training mode map! ROB-FX guides you on how to play the game and its mechanics. (Update 1/3)

SFCD Update! Redid the title screen again! I'm quite proud of this, the tiles just barely fit into VRAM. The bottom text is printed by the Super FX now instead of using up background tiles in VRAM. I also finally got my hands on an FXPak Pro for testing!

Minor(?) Star Fox CD update! (See attached image)

StarFox, off the rails... Ive been working on this, on and off, for a long time now. Im not promising itll b made soon but this is nearly ready for a ROM patch. Done so far: - Free flying - Mini-map - U-turn - New map system - BG scrolling - Hidden items - Dialogue: time, area and event triggered

New Release! Sunlit's Untitled Star Fox Minihack DX! An updated version of my first minihack with new graphics and various fixes, tweaks, and additions. rhpz.org/24415

New release! Better cockpit view for Star Fox 64! Modified the cockpit view to something closer to the original Star Fox! No more camera rolling or cockpit model obstructing your view! rhpz.org/22107

FastFX progress! More improvements to the native format exporter: - Handles colored edges and wireframe shapes correctly - Added logic to handle point compression, points are sorted to optimize for compression - The shape header can be edited in Blender before exporting

HUGE FastFX (and by extension, SFCD) progress! FastFX can now export straight to Star Fox (2)'s native shape format for static shapes that are simple enough to not need a BSP tree for Z-sorting!
