New NGPDS & NGPGBA versions out of my NeoGeoPocket emulator, fixes saving of some settings. github.com/FluBBaOfWard... github.com/FluBBaOfWard...

ok so my quick project - which I'm now calling 'TrackPak' - takes a playlist of your tracker music and produces a music player GBA ROM for your album with album art and whatnot. It is actually getting close to MVP. I can probably finish it tonight/tomorrow

Oh, also been doing some work on NesDS. github.com/DS-Homebrew/...

Fixes to sound for my jankiest emulator - WasabiDS, my Watara SuperVision emulator. github.com/FluBBaOfWard...

Happy anniversary to the Phantasy Star series! ⭐ I just wanted to redraw that title screen.

Our first big Christmas update is with an amazing recovery of the final build of Resident Evil on Gameboy Color. Hotgen's impressive conversion that got canned. This is much closer to completion, and seems completable too. Lots to discover! www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/12/resi...

Okay, here goes: what would *you* like to see in a retro "no-code/low-code" game creation tool? What tools/principles do you find helpful or interesting? I'm tempted to try making one of my own. (Assume WS/WSC for now, but don't constrain yourself!)

ELKS for WonderSwan now also starts on a WonderWitch.

RGBDS 1.0.0 was released! 🥳 (and from now on, RGBDS will adhere to semantic versioning) github.com/gbdev/rgbds/...

Mixing SH4 ASM, C23, and C++23 together within the same hardware accelerated linear algebra library for the Sega Dreamcast (which also runs unit tests on real HW) with the hopes of democratizing the upper performance echelons of what the SH4 FPU is capable of... #gamedev #retrocomputing #cplusplus

It's time for the second annual DreamDisc #gamejam for the Sega Dreamcast! We have prebuilt frameworks and libs such as #raylib and #sdl for developers of any experience level. Top 10 entries get published to a physical DC disc release! orcface.com/events/02-dr... #gamedev #indiegame #retrogaming

For users of the WS Flash Masta, CartFriend has received some quick updates as I pull in improvements to the WWitch support binaries which I've been developing over the past few weeks. Enjoy! github.com/asiekierka/w...

I've spent the last two years developing firmware and software for a WS/WSC/PCv2 flash/development cartridge. Now, it has finally been announced and will be sold by 49bitcat in Germany. Sales start November 24th! Learn more here: 49bitcat.com/news/2025-10...

Cuebus preserved DoDonPuchi Zero (ドドンプチ零) and a trial version of DoDonPuchi (ドドンプチ)! Released in 2003, DoDonPuchi Zero was CAVE's first original shooter for keitai. Both were lost to time until now! DoDonPuchi Zero's soundtrack was composed by Namiki Manabu.

more #godot fun, added procedural-ish grass that reacts to the player, sky and also a rock giant #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

The final installment of my "make a Game Boy emulator" series is out! I cover audio, memory, and timing this time youtu.be/Be5v8E21pEQ Despite me claiming I don't understand #GameBoy audio, making this video ended up tricking me into starting learning about it!

While developing the translation tools for King of Fighters: Battle de Paradise, I was able to extract these beautiful pixel art screens, without the overlay graphics that the game doesn't allow you to remove :-) #KingOfFighters #NeoGeoPocket #RomHacking

Satellaview+ deserves more attention: an emulator-based (so far) recreation of the '90s service that let players download games to their Super Famicoms via satellite. Today there's a big SFC in the in-game town in honor of the console's 35th birthday and last month they added a damn Spirit Halloween

Bomb Hunter, a Minesweeper clone for the Nintendo GBA E-Reader, is now open source. #indiedev #gamedev #retrodev #homebrew #opensource github.com/city41/eread...

Found this while cleaning out the basement at a family member’s house. Any of my computer buddies here on bsky use one before?

Phantasy Star is a vital RPG from the 8-bit era, and one that, thanks to its Sega Ages treatment, is worth your time today, even if you're the kind of person who shies away from this era of role-playing game. Especially if, really.

Some edge case fixes for NitroSwan my WonderSwan emulator. github.com/FluBBaOfWard...

When you have a sudden epiphany about pipelining single vector-by-matrix transforms for the Sega Dreamcast's SH4 CPU at 3AM and have to grab a notebook... #retrocomputing #dreamcast #optimization #gamedev

I made a quick comparison of WonderSwan emulators' accuracy based on test ROMs the other day. (Mesen has already fixed most of the issues this has found, FWIW) wiki.asie.pl/doku.php?id=...

thanks to the power of friendship (the DSi Mode Hacking discord) I've doubled my FPS, starting to look decently playable

This is how you beat an #Amiga demoscene world record. www.youtube.com/watch?v=POZN...

German magazine "Politik und Kultur", Germany's largest cultural policy newspaper, published it's July/August edition, which features a special issue on demoscene and retro-computing. (in German) It's in total 14(!) pages of articles, interviews and demoscene art: www.kulturrat.de/wp-content/u...

Doing some reverse engineering on the Karnak chip for the WS/PCV2.

25 years later, the Neo Geo Pocket Color exclusive King of Fighters Battle De Paradise can be translated at last. I will be releasing all info and tools soon. #KingOfFighters #NeoGeoPocket #RomHacking

This dude just dropped the single best home conversion of Mortal Kombat II to date and it's on 3DO no less. I legit did not believe the 3DO could handle a game like this at 60 fps with all the original sprites and artwork yet here we are. Masterpiece. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQdt...

Here's the small #SNES game I want to finish within a few months, because I want to have a released game with my own creative vision alongside my bigger projects. It's a top-down shooter involving cute little critters piloting remote control hovercraft toys with cannons. #gamedev #snesdev #homebrew

here's a framebuffer graphics demo (this has no practical purpose and I can't prove I'm not just like, playing a youtube video or something)

After too much time optimising the V30MZ cpu core, here is a new version of NitroSwan! github.com/FluBBaOfWard...

Repost with something you own that most people don’t. A 1997 "Chatter Box" PCB by Microsoft, which... no one seems to know what it is? When powered on, it IIRC says "Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback" over its audio out, you can trigger sound effects via some pin headers, and...that's it?

After years of hard work, our retro-inspired shooter Earthion finally has its own home online. Dive into the world, watch the new trailer, and hear a track made entirely with the Megadrive’s YM2612 sound chip. Now viewable in English and Portuguese: earthiongame.com

I know the feeling.

Apparently we're not done figuring out the WonderSwan's secrets... Port 0xA3 is another test port (only writable as a byte, not as part of the word 0xA2). Writing 0x08 to it forces the serial port to run at 192000 baud, which is 4x faster than the regular maximum speed of 38400!

Earthion for SEGA Mega Drive makes its highly anticipated debut at Tokyo Game Show 2024!

This is so Janky and I love it! Some of the PCV2 carts has a special mapper chip with built in adpcm decoding, not sure it's correct yet. #WonderSwan
