I talk about Dragon Ball sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ YouTube.com/GoldenPSP
@vegettoex.bsky.social from Kanzenshuu was able to test my early DBZ Racing port on real PlayStation 2 hardware and it works like a charm!

Planning a V2 release sometime next week with some actual basic gameplay and the actual Goku racer sprites in!

Dragon Ball Kart PS2 Update Time (11/19):

Camera is now a proper "follow-cam" (no Smooth-Cam/Interpolation yet)

Very basic car acceleration, no turning. Actually somewhat of a game now, even if barebones lol

Dragon Ball Kart PS2 Update (11/12):

Rendering of 3D elements on the PlayStation 2 is relative to the camera's placement.

So even though I have the math to move the Kart, I need to translate its position to camera coordinates. Or else you get trippy behaviour like this :)

Anybody beat Black Myth Wukong? I really liked the story and world of the game but unfortunately I’m too ass to actually enjoy it 😭

Also the seller sent a random Japanese Pokémon card with it too which was neat :)

As someone who fell into the “all Shonen manga in the 60s/70s looked like Tezuka/Ishinomori” trap, reading Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 1 (1968) made me appreciate the sheer variety of styles packed into their first volumes.

Early manga history should be more storied in America

Day 4 Dragon Ball Racing PlayStaion 2 Update: Version 0.01 Officially Released on my Itch!

Literally just a Render Test right now, but I figured out how to pack the game into a valid ISO that you can run yourself in PCSX2 (or even burn to a disc)

Follow me and give it a spin!

For those of y’all who aren’t following me on Twitter (understandable) I’ve been working on porting Dragon Ball Racing (2009) from Japanese mobile phone to PlayStation 2

Here’s a quick render test so far!

Guess what I got?

Also at 6th place in Beckett’s July 2002 “Top 10 Dragon Ball Toys” list is Broly with a semiautomatic

Here are some 2002 toy catalog listings from Beckett’s Dragon Ball Collectors Magazine featuring everyone’s favorite gun touting Krillin and Vegeta 😎

Okay I don't think Kaiba stealing Blue Eyes was worth Yugi turning Kaiba into a fucking vegetable

Half of the Yugioh cast are like peak superhuman freaks of nature who can jump out of a mach speed jets, but instead of standing on some Dragon Ball Z shit they decide to settle beef with card games for some reason.
September 11, 2025 at 1:30 PM
They kinda imply that Yugi cheats like hell throughout this tournament

Like that ain't the power of friendship bro you literally helped him pull that card
September 10, 2025 at 6:33 PM
Jonouchi, you literally watched Yugi's grandpa get his soul cast into eternal purgatory, why is a practical card trick getting you flustered?
September 10, 2025 at 6:26 PM
This is a cool party trick I guess, but does being able to know the cards in your hand while face down have literally any benefits from a game perspective?

This is some A+ aura farming

I ordered some cheapo knockoff One Piece cards off AliExpress and ngl they’re not half bad

After the success of Smash 64, Bandai saw $$$ and knew they had to quickly cash in!

Digimon Rumble Arena often gets credit, but One Piece: Grand Battle on the PS1 was released as likely the FIRST Smash Bros clone ever!

Let’s take a look into the often overlooked debut of the Grand Battle series!

Thanks for everyone that showed up to watch me ramble lol.

I've been programming my animated lip-synced avatar software for a while so glad it was able to work.

Testing my Live streaming setup on Youtube if y'all want to check it out!

Honestly while I know black-and-white pages are a staple of Japanese manga, I fuck with colored manga heavy.

Probably my preferred way to read a lot of series in my opinion.

Feels like a "3D Model rips from Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butoden on the Nintendo DS" type of day
