SMB3 is almost fully functional in the SMC Practice Hack! There are still a few things to do, but most of it is there and usable. Massive thanks to @simplistic6502.bsky.social for helping out with some of the more challenging parts of porting over the NES practice ROM code to SNES.

Just converted Doki Doki Panic from an FDS image to a NES ROM. This works by using the MMC5 mapper's ability to map PRG-RAM from $6000-$DFFF. Saving works too which is incredibly awesome!

I've attached a video of the ROM working on the NES core for MiSTer.

For context, the Kaiser release does not produce an error message after beating 8-4, it takes you straight into 9-1 (even if you haven't completed 8 castle stages)

Can anyone with the old RetroUSB/RetroZone's SMB2J reproduction confirm this is what happens for them after completing 8-4? I believe this release uses a hacked version of Kaiser's SMB2J port from 1988?

Sneak peak of the project @simplistic6502.bsky.social and I have been working on to celebrate SMB1's 40th anniversary!

Probably my last PB in 2J 8-4 IL for a while haha.

55.658, finally closed out a run with TAS bar skip!

2J 8-4 IL has been an interesting grind that I am somewhat enjoying, though right now I am at the point where I can only really comfortably save a frame at a time as my PB is 55.675 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRYh...). Currently trying to implement TAS bar skip in runs with a moderate level of success

Damn good 8-4 IL PB for 2J, 55.708.
