More Neo Geo Pocket ASM homebrew from 2001 - a little platformer, a multi screen Manic Miner / Monty Mole clone with tiny 8x8 sprites. Collect the rings in all the rooms to win and the level layout is quite evil in places. This one was a bit more of a swine to rebuild but got there eventually.

I found a bunch of stuff from when I used to make Neo Geo Pocket Color homebrew games around 2001-ish!. Heres some sprites and title screens. Also found my own compiling tutorial on waybackmachine so currently trying to get a toolchain working but its proving to be quite an arse to recreate

I have an addiction and it's been 0 days since I bought Yet Another Retro Joypad. 6 quid for the 3 button megadeive classic, bargain. 6 button is way more useful but the 3 button slab is for 100% pure comfy nostalgia.

First console I developed for, but im still old :D
Here is my desk around 1998/99, PC debugging with an internal PSX development board, outputting to TV.
I had to texture things on the TV with a wierd 3d program that could project and 'stamp' the (tim) textures on a 3d model. very strange.

Some art I did for the collectible Joker cards in Lego Batman for the Nintendo DS. I really enjoyed doing these and found them in a backup recently.

Scanline offset scrolling to simulate 3d, using the floor from Street Fighter 2. I think this was when I was thinking about 2d road techniques like Outrun.

Peeking into memory using Mesen-S, I found it in video memory (VRAM). 32 bytes starting at address 81EO. (8x8 tile=64 pixels, 4bits per pixel = 256bits = 32 bytes)

Ill-advised amateur fumblings in Romhacking, a thread. 🧵
Playing Phalanx on SNES, I found it hard to see these small red bullets.
I had a look for the sprite tile in YYCHR which can open roms but couldn't find this bullet at all.
