I can't believe it. I finally, FINALLY found something new in Sonic the Fighters. It's been actual YEARS since a new discovery. Behold, the (partially) original attract mode!

Current progress is now 70% (~48% for matched bytes)--great progress was made in two weeks!

This is another reminder about the PaRappa 2 decompilation project, where we reached 64% (~43% for matched bytes) of completion. 🎉

Recently we achieved shiftability (the ability to add & delete code and data).

As always, any help is appreciated 🙂

I put together an electronics kit + book intended as a gentle introduction to transistors and early computer logic gates (resistor-transistor logic or RTL).

I set up a Tindie store page for the little over a dozen I have readied. (I'll create a web site soon.)

This amazing Mario Kart 64 #romhack just keeps on getting better and better with every little update.

This here is just such a cute little addition, but it really would add a lot to the presentation

What I'm currently working on:
When 3D racers are enabled, the small ranking portraits now also show the current appearance (even with costumes!).
This is done by capturing image data from the frame buffer in the Player Select screen.

I've made a little device that takes a 2 button #MSX joystick on one end and poops out a USB gamepad on the other side. There's an auto-fire option that can be (de)activated by holding down one of the fire buttons and rotating the stick a couple of times.

Crash Team Racing for example uses both, where a stage is split up into "rooms" (BSPs), and visibility regions (PVS) exist within those rooms so the PS1 has even less to render, further improving performance

www.reddit.com/r/crashbandi...
Many parts of the code are really interesting. The full game was probably under 100k lines of code, and shockingly neat, considering the time budget they had (which was around 8 months). The game uses a combination of BSP and PVS (similar to Quake) to render so many polygons. They baked PVS into limiting the number of BSP leaf nodes to test for visibility, and also limits the number of polygons to draw within each leaf (bit indexing 0-32). The PC port will keep PVS for BSP, but we'll just draw all triangles in the leaf, cause the vertex shader will run faster if we just draw 32, rather than trying to pick individual triangles. This optimization will come when we're ready to scrap Prim/OT in favor of VBO/IBO.
