It's been 10 years* since our last Modding Shenanigans stream in 2014 so its time to celebrate. Come hang out on Saturday at 8 AM PST / 11 AM EST on the Melpontro YT. This time I'm going in blind with mods created by my friends in the modding community. We'll have tons of surprises for everyone.

So if you force Sonic to race in Billy Hatcher, apparently he T-poses to victory.

GDIBuilder 2.0 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. projects.sappharad.com/tools/gdibui... DiscUtilsGD is also available on Nuget for developers to include GDI reading and building in other apps without having to call the command line tool.

Coming soon: The 10th Anniversary of GDIBuilder is next week and I've been working on a brand new version for a few months now. Adds patching & extraction features. Also coming is a Nuget package for other developers to incorporate building and extracting GD-ROM's in their own apps.

I grew up on these streets

Today's my birthday and to continue the streak of birthday misfortunes, I'm down with the sickness. So please, help me feel better by enjoy myself and Mr. Brettzky playing the best game from 1997, cause it'll be the best hour of background noise you hear ALL WEEK!!! youtu.be/tOuEwfho1Sc
