Most of the so-called "apolitical" content creators are straight white men. Go figure!

After a year of work I've finally released my adventure game. It's called Maura and Ash, and it's designed for MS-DOS. You can download it or play it in the browser right now! moralrecordings.itch.io/mauraash #msdos #pointandclick #adventuregame

PC gamers when they don't have an ashtray:

Like Cowboy Bebop? Did you know there was a PS2 game only released in Japan? Did you know I released a full English translation of it that you can play now? Check it out here: github.com/SONICMAN69/B...

"Uneducated positivity towards maliciously bad video games that steal assets and graphics from other games or artists, that the developer sells for profit" youtu.be/_dQCdJFiWgo

You shouldn't preorder games. That was true more than 10 years ago and it's still true today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf5U...

The ending for Secret of the Four Winds also uses stolen assets: Last Blade - Moriya stage and Last Blade 2 - Graveyard stage. The foreground trees are from Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash (Hudson, 1995) and the cityscape from a random gif from at least 2017.

More stolen assets by Kay Magazine for their game Metal Dragon:

Apparently, this developer has a history of lifting existing assets. Here are some examples from his previous game:

This is why you cannot trust YouTubers and publishers in the retrogaming space. This 2025 megadrive game presented as "better than most snes game" has assets traced over existing sprites (Wild Guns and Shinobi III) and AI-generated backgrounds. Garbage game, garbage company, garbage shill youtuber.

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for. Stop using WeTransfer.

There is a pro-consumer rights movement for gaming right now called #StopKillingGames. It is currently try to pass an initiative to ensure that games that you pay for cannot be rendered completely unplayable after being sold to you, please consider supporting it.

So I've played Itadaki Street 2 and found a problem with the RNG. krokodyl.github.io/post/2025/05...

The Super Famicom game Itadaki Street 2 has a mini-game of Bingo. Looking at the RNG code, I found a flaw in the draw algorithm. One of these four bingo cards is significantly better and one is significantly worse than the others. Can you guess which ones and why?

Has anyone ever translated Itadaki Street 2 for Super Famicom? dragonquest.fandom.com/wiki/Itadaki...

America Oudan Ultra Quiz for SNES got translated! Be sure to read the article too, really fascinating stuff about the TV quiz show

Here's a short follow up on the Retro-bit's stolen fan translations: krokodyl.github.io/post/2025/03...

FOUND! We dumped BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 1! Probably one of the most major finds we did in a while. BS F-Zero Deluxe has also been updated to version 1.1 to include the original data from this one! superfamicom.org/blog/2025/03... #Satellaview #FZERO

To #Satellaview owners: What's the serial number under yours? #SFC #SNES Mine is BS10766828 (potentially implying 76682nd unit)

Okay, sorry, one last update concerning the case of Gleylancer's translation and plagiarism with Retro-Bit's "translator" for the sake of response from the publisher of the Switch version: bsky.app/profile/rata...

Now retrobit's translator is accusing MIJET of having stolen the font engine code from another game (which he conveniently doesn't name). This man is a pathological liar.

2500 euros! The mofo was paid 2500 euros per game!

Retrobit's translator denies any wrongdoing in a Spanish forum (link below). His response is a whole pile of horseshit if I've ever seen one. Cherry-picking, deflecting, blaming retrobit, bad faith arguments, a lot of focus on the fonts (who cares?) and not the egregious stuff. Just baffling!

Retro-bit made a public response. www.timeextension.com/news/2025/02...

Retro-Bit Accused Of Plagiarising Existing Fan-Translations.

a single line = "extremely vindictive of YouTubers" ? they absolutely have a responsibility in generating hype and fomo for expensive products claiming to be what they're not with their "reviews" (& some of them are mods in retro-bit's discord...) The post was written in the order of my research.

For what it's worth, I had no involvement with the Valken or Majuu-Ou releases referenced here. Retro-bit did try to reach out but for a variety of reasons I've been difficult to reach for the last long while.

#3 will shock you! 😬🤯 krokodyl.github.io/post/2025/02...

If I were to write a story about a thief called Rob, you'd think it's a little too on the nose.

You have to appreciate the irony of promoting a game as "translated for the first time ever" while using footage from the fan translation from 2 years ago...

New SNES/SFC translation patch: Super UNO. An implementation of the card game for 1 or 2 players. #snes #superfamicom #fantranslation #snesdev krokodyl.github.io/post/2025/01...

This morning, my friend and one of my heroes, Mike Rinder passed away. Many of you know Mike from the docuseries on Scientology that he co-hosted with Leah Remini. It would mean the world to me if you would read what I wrote about him. Full Piece: bit.ly/4j0VLkz

Everything is terrible, or at least it feels like it. As such, it's more important than ever to take some time for yourself. Remember to do something you enjoy, something that makes you smile, even if no one else understands why it gives you joy. You owe yourself your mental health.

New SNES/SFC translation patch: Wedding Peach. A small party game for 1 to 3 players based on the anime of the same name. #snes #superfamicom #weddingpeach #fantranslation #snesdev krokodyl.github.io/post/2024/12...

The ultimate Venn diagram of every anime ever made.

I can't unsee it and I hate it.

Treasure Conflix (1996) was an action adventure game with light RPG elements by Square for the Nintendo Satellaview. In a vast galaxy, treasure hunters prowl worlds in search of lost riches. As one of these vaunted adventurers, you find yourself on the trail of an ancient legend! (an airship thread)

I've published a demo to show how I've integrated Satellaview features into games made with PVSnesLib. All source code available on github. (including a tool to convert sfc header to bs header) krokodyl.github.io/post/2024/10... #snesdev #satellaview

The #SNESdev 2025 Jam will start in 8 months, so mark your calendars and get your tools ready in case you’d like to contribute with your own project!

Krokodyl just released their fan translation for Dynami Tracer, the last yet to be translated Satellaview game by Squaresoft! The game is highly recommended if you like other SNES Square releases. It’s short, but has lots of replay value! krokodyl.github.io/post/2023/08...

I hope you all enjoyed the first episode of my emulation retrospective series! Let me know if you would like to see it continue what your thoughts on how it can be better in Episode 2 are! In case you missed it --> youtu.be/WgZfFdPUeAQ
