I just realized that between December 1st and January 1st, I uploaded no less than 15 #Danish translation #romhacks To RomHackPlaza!
Meaning there are now 1,500% more #NES games available to enjoy in Danish than before!

The "ePSXe" #PS1 emulator has just received an update after nearly 10 years!
V2.0.18 Introduces a list of changes and improvements to stability, performance and accuracy
ePSXe was my #PlayStation Emulator of choice for years, so I'm glad to see it hasn't been abandoned

The innovative ways the #homebrew community push old #retro systems way above their punching weight
will never cease to amaze me.

If you enjoy a good #roguelike, and are a fan of #retro systems & #pixelart
Then you're probably gonna like
"RogueCraft DX"
Already a hit on the #Evercade,
the game is now being ported to not only the #Amiga, but also the #GBC,
And even the #Mega65!

That was one hell of a deep-dive of the infamous, unused "Stop'n Swop" feature from Rare's #N64 days.
In this nearly 2½ hour long video, "Ben Rai" will educate you on just how deep this rabbit hole actually went

Whenever I saw a new #N64 on the store shelves back in the day:
While we know these days, that most expansion "enhanced" features came with severe downgrades to framerates, back then, it felt exciting
Controller pak tho...
Just publishers cheaping out on battery saves

Apparently there are rumours of a new #PS5 jailbreak that utilizes the physical PS4 release "Star Wars Racer Revenge" of all things as the "key"
Its ridiculous to watch on ebay how the game has gone from under $30 to over $300, almost over night :S

For #ScreenshotSaturday let’s peep behind the curtains to see how Roguecraft DX’s 10x10 rooms made it to #GameBoy
The GameBoy screen is constructed from 8x8 pixel tiles.
(20 → and 18 ↓)
A 10x10 grid of 8x8 pixels could work but it’d be tiny 👀
A 10x10 grid of 16x16 pixels is too large 😕

I think my biggest #gaming prediction of 2026 has to be that before the end of the year, #Microsoft will have announced an end-of-life plan to their console division.
The writing has been on the wall for years at this point.

I've been spending some time the last few days collaborating with Fiuke Bnuy on this update to my Castlevania port. I think it's going to be really cool if we can pull it off. All of the tilework is done by Fiuke, I've just been providing scaffolding and support on the romhack.
