Here is a crazy idea for an experiment one day....power a Wii and/or GameCube completely with solar power! Without using a 220v inverter! :D
The idea is basically to replace the AC adapter for the wii/gc with a 12v dc-dc converter. Then with a 12V HDMI monitor for the image it should just...
So many times I posted that "I am back on the game..." then a while later "no really, this time I GOT to finish it".....it's like a never ending circle with me. Sorry for anyone who is still waiting for BatteryCheck to get finished on their favorite platform....even that one is an ever growing...
Last time I was complaining a little how my script that is collecting statistics about my homebrew game threads and downloads did not work anymore. The reason was something cloudflare did to detect "automated browsers" or bots. I can totally understand why this is there offcourse, but i was...
A couple of months ago I did a manual counting of how many times my homebrew versions were downloaded for each platform and posted it here. While I could do this every couple of weeks or every month...it's way to tedious and time consuming! And I am a developer so I created a programmers...
This is not a typical devblog where I go far to much into technical details about my homebrew remake of batterycheck. This is about taking care of the required game files and where to get them from. The owners have made it clear to me they don't have plans to provide the download themself on...
While I have made a few blog post's now about making a video and that it's coming soon....still nothing! :shy: One of the main reasons is a bad audio connection....and I really need to search for the right adapter cables to fix it! Searching for those cables is made difficult by the high...
It's really not as easy as "press record" to make a video. Sure, it will record that easily but you need to consider A LOT of things besides that! Lighting, reflections, focus, distance to object, etc..... and then I am not even talking about the sound! (not important as I do not plan on talking...
The last preview version I uploaded for the Wii was kind of buggy and missing some nice new features. Mostly the splashscreens when it's started, but in addition to that there were also some bugs that showed a big white block near the dragon. No idea what was causing that but my latest test on...
Now that I am allowed to share video's I thought let's start with the one I am working and testing with the most: The linux Version! :D
It shows everything that works on the Linux version and also a few things that are missing. The debug features are still required to get around the...
I have been in contact with the owners of BatteryCheck and I got permission to share the download for the game! They do want me to add a disclaimer that it's not official and they are not responsible for the download. So I need to come up with a good text to go with it...and then maybe hopefully...
A while ago I posted about having bought a copy of GTA5 on nearly every console and PC I have...but never really finishing it! That was on march 9 this year and I did actually play GTA5 for a little while from about 40% to 47% in about a week and posted about it here. Then I got distracted again...
My game engine for BatteryCheck is not even complete yet and now I am starting to "design" my own levels? Why? How? Well....lets talk about it. ^_^
There is actually enough of "gameplay" to get around the original level up to a certain point where you require to activate some of the machines to...
Over the last few weeks I have ported my game engine to: PlayStation 2, Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Technically the PS2 was already done in august 2018 but I did not release it back then. The switch version is also done basically but I did not make a public release yet. And I have actually fixed...
Just a friendly warning that this is a very long and technical blog post. My main reason for writing it was that I needed to rethink what I had done and how this stuff came into existence. You have been warned! :D
My homebrew game project started around June 2018 shortly after discovering some...
I was talking about my game project a bit with my cousin and that I ported it to the switch and all the other platforms it already runs on. Then she said: So it runs on everything?....it was only then that I started looking at my current list of platforms:
- Linux
- GameCube
- Wii
- Wii U
-...
Currently my homebrew game engine I have been working on for about three years in my spare time only supports BatteryCheck. I have talked about that game so much that it barely needs more explaining I think :wink:. The original BatteryCheck game engine is an early version of the one used in Jazz...
This is going to be a similar thing as my blog form August last year - the mystery console which was the PlayStation 2! :D While I did not release it back than because of several issues, I did solve a few of them and about a month ago I upload a preview of it here. In the last couple of weeks I...
While I was adding the port to the Wii U I noticed that all events were basically broken! The pools of water were of the wrong size, the length of the belts was wrong, etc... And I could not figure out what had gone wrong! Since a few days I have been hanging out on discord in various servers to...
This game came out in 1998 and I have played it for years but I have never even realized that it had cheatcodes!!! I have been introduced to discord by @V10lator and I have been looking around for other cool and interesting servers to join. Most notablly: ps2dev, pspdev and jazz jackrabbit...
To unpack the game files for BatteryCheck, which is originally a windows PC game, I have created a custom installer about two years ago. It runs right on the console itself and it was no longer required to run the "setup.exe" on a windows PC first! The installer I have ported to the: GameCube...

Nice. I wish they bought back collectable figurines in blind bags, which I had as a kid. -

I like buying the Halo Megablox blind bags every once in a while when I see them. Scratches that itch

it's just in an empty open space, like outside at night or the backrooms, depending on the branch of the hypothetical you either feel unsafe, but you actually are safe, or you feel safe, but are unsafe, also you don't actually know the truth about your safety either way -
