Here's a test playthrough of my Blaster Master SNES port up until the Area 5 boss. It'll show you why I need a version with cheats ;-) This game is hard =D youtube.com/watch?v=i5wNNUโ€ฆ

On this week's podcast, Dean fills in for Dan to talk about On the Ball for Super NES, a marble rolling game with some extremely bizarre cutscenes. Plus, dog troubles, new Vampire Survivors DLC, a new DOOM on SNES, and more! sag.rocks/3T0J2TI

Doing some cleanup work on Kid Icarus, and then taking the weekend off before heading back to Blaster Master. Retro World Expo has re-invigorated me. And also added about 15 more games to my list of things to port...

Why is Contra Force on NES so slow? Let's dive into the game's performance as well as talk about Mappers and Konami. Contra, Tiny Toon Adventures, and even Castlevania III make an appearance. Enjoy. youtu.be/gOwhDcI3oMA

Spent some time today working on integrating my Kid Icarus randomizer and my vanilla SNES port. A new version should be coming soon which will let you play a completely (or almost completely) vanilla game, or play the randomizer. I've also got some additional features planned.

I tried to pick up one of Taki Udon 's Mister bundles so I could test my NES ports on them, but apparently I took too long to put in my payment info and they were gone before I could finish. Maybe next time!

Just finished a full test playthrough of Kid Icarus SNES Randomizer full MSU-1 Soundtrack. Still a few things I might clean up for Revision C and a big list of long term things I'd like to do, but it might be time to get back to Blaster Master soon. youtube.com/watch?v=P73Thgโ€ฆ

Does anyone know if there's a way to pull textures/assets out of a 3DS game? Or a 3DS emulator that lets you hide layers?

Really just toying around with this as a PoC. There's lot more work to do to make this look as good as I'd want. At the very least I've found it neat to get this far. The background is extracted from the 3DS game, adjusted for 16 colors, 4bpp for SNES.

First level with the 3DS background added with parallax scrolling. I feel pretty good about the implementation, which should make it easy to add more backgrounds for the other levels.

First pass at the background for Level 1-2 is done. I might still make some tweaks to it, bit I think it looks pretty good. More importantly, it solidified my approach so adding more should be relatively easy. youtube.com/watch?v=0wGb6Tโ€ฆ

took a break from UFO 50 to do backgrounds for 1-3 and the fortress levels for my SNES port of Kid Icarus. I'm especially happy with how 1-3 came out.
