@firebrandx.bsky.social any chance you're doing a clean audio rip of Castlevania II anytime soon? I'd love to include it as an MSU1 option in my port.

I've just put the last finishing touches on a Beta version of Castlevania II for the SNES. A big part of the last couple weeks were getting this intro scene from the Enhanced Romhack working on the SNES:

Wake up honey, new Displaced Gamers video just dropped!
Ridley, Kraid, and Mother Brain Life Support slow down! But why?
Let's do a performance dive to answer this question and also find out why scrolling seems to lag when Samus is flipping through the air... but in reality does not!

Another post on Castlevania II Progress!
I'm in the middle of tackling attributes, which control the palettes the BG tiles use. It's one of the more complicated undertakings in the ports, but it's coming along nicely! Here's a couple minutes of footage of the beginning of the game.

@retro-access.com Is there something about retro-access.com/product/gen1... that makes it incompatible with a SMS? Or would it just have the 3.5mm jack hanging around but still work?

Ok, maybe someone knows more about this than me. But why does Castlevania II on the FDS have so much English text? The prologue and the ending are both entirely in English. Is that not odd? Did Japanese children know enough English to read this?
The rest of the game is all in Japanese.

We have started a fundraiser to help our brother & friend Mel (Sega Lord X) & his family.
Mel's sister is battling cancer again, and his mom has gone broke doing all she can to fight it. He did NOT ask us to do this, but we have to help our brother out! ♥

I've been playing through my FDS version of Castlevania II, and the music is just a joy (apologies for the 10s of FDS loading at the beginning)

Completed a full playthrough on my Castlevania II port. This is a good milestone, it means the game logic is solid. The only issues I encountered were either related to the romhack enhancements, or things I know I haven't done yet (like music/palettes/bank switching)

Met so many great people, had a fantastic panel, and reconnected with some of the best people in the retro community at Retro World Expo and Nes Fest. The best retro con I've attended, I can't recommend it enough!

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.
Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I knew this part of the port would be hairy, and there's still some quirks to work out, but the SRAM saving/loading is working!

@displacedgamers.bsky.social this one's for you. first screen of Rover Mansion comparison. NES has lots of noticeable lag, the early version of my SNES port is buttery smooth. Also, sprite palettes are all updated, and BG tile palettes are updated, but everything is using palette 0.

Castlevania II Enhanced progress update! Getting into the main game now, and while palettes aren't ported yet, the game is surprisingly playable. Lots more to do yet!

After a bit of a break, I've begun work in earnest on my next project! This one is a bit different, and I'm hoping to leverage the amazing work that @bisqwit.bsky.social has done on Castlevania II amazing improvements. I'll be porting their romhack version instead of the original game.
