I have started to write a small game engine. Along the way I'm looking for problems and bugs in the SDL3 back-end. Fun!

YOU WANTED IT! JNMARTIN BROUGHT IT! Direct hardware capture of Mario Kart 64... running on the Sega #Dreamcast! MK64 was just BARELY decompiled, yet one man was able to do all this in 3 weeks. Glitches are to be expected in this early state, but it's already incredible! #gamedev #retrogaming #n64

We accumulated a certain amount of #Satellaview Memory Pack redumps and user data over the years and we couldn't quite figure out how to do a bulk release on SatellaBlog in a way that's satisfying. So I've released them here to make sure they're not lost: archive.org/details/sate...

It is wild to me that the Nokia N-Gage platform is still getting love in SDL

Squashing back-end bugs while building my first homebrew game—aiming straight for the N-Gage as the main platform. What a great time to be alive, am I right?

I'm getting pretty close to finishing my new NES puzzle game - Perfect Diamond! Will be available on physical cartridge as well as digital download. #nesdev #gamedev #indiedev

From a press kit CD-ROM for the SpaceWorld 2000 Nintendo expo: a very hi-res and sharp image of the blue and orange (aqua and spice?) Game Boy Advances unveiled at the show. The orange one is so pretty <3

It's random game Saturday! Today I want to showcase Farming Simulator 16 bit edition for the genesis/MD. A proper demake of farming simulator from the devs themselves, with music by turrican composer Chris Hülsbeck. Comes with a nice manual and kind of a gross green cart!

In case you've ever wondered what N-Gage homebrew development looks like in 2025. Here you go!

The creators of Myst series (@cyan.com) saved hundreds of video tapes from the making of their iconic adventure game franchose. We helped preserve them. Here's what we found.

It would seem that leaked #Switch2 systems in the wild won't work without a launch day patch I have to admit, this raise some big concerns with me. I get it's a safe measure to deal with leaks But years from now when the online service ends, will unopened systems essentially be rendered broken?...

We need more games that look like Ultima 8. Just give me that, in a slightly higher resolution, with modern fluid movement.

So I've played Itadaki Street 2 and found a problem with the RNG. krokodyl.github.io/post/2025/05...

Generative AI has peaked.

HAD to find out if these N64 internet browsers can actually browse the internet on the N64, and they can! Mostly. The one with the cartoony art crashes for me whenever it tries to access my modem, but the other two work.

A fan port of #Metroid for the Sega Genesis is in the works - hive.blog/hive-140217/... #retrogaming #gaming #hive #hivegaming #games

We've released FOUR #64DD DUMPS of development disks from Randnet! They're all internal builds of the Randnet Disk Internet Browser in one way or another, including debug and an early version that looks completely different! Hard4Games has made a video about them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZT6...

N-gage support has returned to SDL3!

🚨 BREAKING: Nokia N-Gage support has officially been merged into SDL3. Yes, the N-Gage! Meanwhile, Dreamcast devs still arguing over VMU font rendering. Snake > Sonic? 🐍📱 > 🌀💿 #SDL3 #NGage #RetroDev #DreamcastCopium

The only Nokia N-Gage game whose source code was leaked a few years ago is being reforged? What a coincidence. @mikejmika.bsky.social palladiumbooks.com/about-pallad...

Some of the Sega Ssturn equipment used for the never-released version of Descent from the Volition donation to The Strong.

youtu.be/GxU6HdN1lRU I just stumbled across this urbex video from 2024 full of arcade cabs. The SEGA Quick Silver system, Mrs. Pacman, Area 51, Cruisin' World, all rotting away somewhere in the rural Midwest. I hope they get saved eventually. 😬

Another lost title preserved - Mechanoids 2: The Final Conflict for the #SNES, an early side-scrolling mech fighter planned for 1993 but never released. We've recovered two prototype builds you can check out: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/04/mech...

Pikachu was my ringbearer, the rings were in a Pokéball, my husband walked down the aisle to the Star Wars Throne Room theme, I led the “S/He’ll Make Me Happy” duet from Muppets Take Manhattan, the cake had a hidden Mickey, the centerpieces had Pikachu and Catbus art Oh did you say *one* thing

I've been working on a 6502 / eventually an NES emulator, because I make bad choices on what to do with my spare time.
