Gigabyte might have the worst UEFI frontends out of any motherboard vendor

Behold, the nervous system of Soleanna Castle Town.

"We added an MCP server to our modding tool so you can use AI to browse the game files programmatically."

I've woken up twice in the middle of the night now and my computer would randomly follow a few minutes later and wake up from sleep. I think we're both having a bad night.

TIL Discord has a spam folder under message requests. Apologies to that one person who asked me a question about Phantom Rush in Frontiers nearly two years ago being left unanswered. lol

Alright it's been a year, I think we can reveal the "imgui sega balls!" lore...

More pre-release Unleashed Recompiled options menu stuff: it was originally going to include a drop-down for configuring the keyboard layout. We ended up dropping it during Beta 1, as we felt it would be better to have it remap actions in a later release instead, rather than buttons.

It's one year today since we unveiled Unleashed Recompiled, opening the doors to Xbox 360 recompilation. 🎉

So it turns out that symbols for some of 06's most elusive and complicated systems have been sitting on the X-Hax server since 2022. It cannot be overstated how helpful this will be for the recomp and future modding efforts. 🎉

Thanks to @hyperbx.bsky.social we've got a beautifully redesigned installer in the style of 06's UI!

Thanks to @kwasior.bsky.social, I've been able to confirm that these mods work with the GOG releases of all three games. Yakuza 3 Remastered is still available for purchase on GOG, so if you missed it on Steam before it got delisted, you still have a DRM-free option.

I think I've been awake longer than this Denuvo executable has been taking to analyse which is mildly concerning for me

Spent the past couple days refactoring some 5+ year old mods, because I've grown pretty dissatisfied with the quality of the code that I *remembered* being bad in them, not fully realising the extent of just how bad some of it actually is

I'd like to share the previous programmer art for the thumbnail of this mod that I rejected because I woke up in the middle of the night and glanced at it on my phone thinking it was a toilet

Today on yet another episode of me fixing a game before playing it, I've released a mod supporting Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 in the remastered collection that fixes the analog stick deadzone.

my Steam account set to be worth 3 Yakuzillion dollars in two days

Looking at a post on my feed from February 6th 2025 whilst half asleep and wondering how I was seeing a post from the future until I remembered it's 2026

I was expecting to be giggling watching Iron Lung because of the funny bite of 87 guy, but I ended up being genuinely captivated by it instead. Markiplier cooked with this let's play

More than a year after starting work on this, it's finally here: The full release of Hedgehog Engine Blender I/O! github.com/hedge-dev/He...

some people are getting way too confident with the output of whatever LLM they're using when claiming to have a working disasm/decomp/recomp which, in fact, does a whole load of nothing

Anyone speak fluent Additional Episode "Sonic Boss Attack"?

I've been helping with this and it's now ready! Banjo: Recompiled is now out! A PC Port of Banko-Kazooie with high framerate support, ultrawide, analog camera, mod support, etc! (also, I made the trailer!) youtu.be/0906Cz-59eU

Big update incoming: Marathon Recompiled now supports achievements! Track your progress in-game with this beautiful menu made by Hyper. Achievements have been painstakingly relocalised, so you no longer have to worry about "obtaining the all moves" :)

I didn't play Kiwami 2 for one day and the SEGA logo became extra aggressive

I've really been sleeping on the Yakuza series for way too long

HAHAHAHAHA dude this PR is so fucking LGTM, it makes me wanna merge without looking

There's something oddly satisfying about returning to an old codebase, being confused by everything for 20 minutes then suddenly everything sorta just clicks and you can get right back into it

Tech "entrepreneurship" these days seems to just be slapping a price tag on FOSS and suckering as many macOS users into buying it as possible using flashy demonstration videos with way too many zooms and pans

This week, I made a bunch of progress on XNOEdit, my cross-platform editor/viewer for Sonic '06 objects powered by .NET and WGPU. Still lots to do, but many objects now correctly visualise, including textures! Next up, bringing in original recompiled shaders so everything looks perfect.

Been a bit since I've done a weekly update, so here's what we're up to! Lots of stuff is in the works: - Achievement support (Hyper) - Physics-based high FPS fixes and APIs for character controllers (Rei) - MSAA & resize support (Rei & I) - External cross-platform XNO editor (Me) Stay tuned!

I thought it'd be fun to outline (literally) how much of a hack the custom UI in the recomp is. Anything surrounded by an outline is drawn using Dear ImGui and isn't rendered by the game.

Quick update on this, I made the borders mirrored and added a faded letterbox when narrower than 4:3 instead, so it doesn't look as horrific as it used to.

Fun '06 fact: the button window text is always rendered twice, but is covered up by the main menu panels, so you don't see the duplicate at the top left.

After almost a month of work, the '06 recomp options menu has been merged! This comes with a few new options, along with some improved existing ones to make them work at runtime. It's still not 100% there yet though, as many of the video settings available are yet to be implemented on demand.

This week we got more progress from @hyperbx.bsky.social on the options menu! All of this is implemented outside the game's UI engine in ImGui :)

Nothing much to report this week, but here's a sneak peek at what @hyperbx.bsky.social is cooking up :)

This week, we've fixed several more high FPS issues, including particles, UI animations, and bullet collision, improvements for the debug camera, and added patches for rendering Shadow's shadow-Mephiles in crispy high res!

Here it is! The most anticipated patch yet... Ultrawide support in the UI, along with several restoration patches and high frame-rate fixes. This took a lot of work, so make sure to give your thanks to @hyperbx.bsky.social
