Hi, my name is Michael and I am developing homebrew software for the Nokia N-Gage. I am currently working on a PICO-8 emulator. Sounds fun? Just follow me. 🤓 #NGageSDK

Hard at work on a new jungle track for an upcoming M8 Tracker Jungle Compo. This device is a beast for making drumnbass/jungle music! There are multiple ways to chop breaks and the stepwise control the FX commands afford the user in phrase is liberating. #m8tracker #jungle #drumnbass

The brilliant SNL sketch the billionaires don't want you to see. It's not even available on Peacock.

Bill Pullman plays a wealthy philanthropist who has established The Heyward Foundation with a very timely goal in mind. If the IA link goes down again I'll try to find alternate hosting.

Jnmartin's Sega #Dreamcast port of #MarioKart 64 is now available! Here's 6+ minutes of footage captured directly from an actual DC console to celebrate!

It was an absolute honor to get to be a part of this one!

This was such a hyper-specific & curious video topic

Covering such an obscure part of #gaming history & even revealing an interesting design quirk of the #N64 Controller Pak that allows for much bigger saved data files

All to play #NES ROMs stored on a Controller Pak through Animal Crossing

Some fun @rare.co.uk trivia!

When Banjo-Tooie was released, Rare offered a prize of a signed character montage, which you could win by *counting all the camera cuts in all the Chuffy train cutscenes* I did it - and won! Boy they made me work for it

It’s been in my office ever since ❤️

Accidentally screwed up the item box diamond thingies in Mario Kart 64 for the Sega Dreamcast... so now I'm writing unit tests for all of my inline SH4 ASM routines that were added during my optimization passes to validate each one in CI on my physical DC HW!

Today I FINALLY got level switching on the GBA game implemented! Now I can conceivably make a series of levels that begin to feel like a game, rather than a sandbox.

My bet would be on this being another port of the GBA version of Rayman 3. It was their go-to game to port to other handhelds at the time, with it being ported to both the N-Gage and the digiBLAST.
