While I understand that a site like this costs money and needs ads to generate income...WHY do they have to be changing every 30 seconds.....and even worse: CHANGE SIZE!!!! The other day typing a reply I got almost sea sick because my typing window kept moving to a new position!! It's annoying...

A few years ago way back in 2016 I worked on a wireless SNES controller and it's actually one of the very few projects I have worked on that's mostly finsihed! :rofl2: I made a few video's back then and thought it would be nice to put them on my newly created youtube channel! (got the idea to...

In my blog post from saturday I have been explaining that I was working on porting BatteryCheck to the Wii U. During the weekend I have been updating that post with spoiler blocks about the progress and in relatively little time I was able to get it compiled and uploaded over the network to HBL...
For a couple of years now I have been posting blogs about my homebrew remake of BatteryCheck. And how I am porting it to many different consoles like: GameCube, Wii, 3DS, PlayStation 2 ..... and tried for PSP, NDS, DSi and GBA. There really are too many on the list already....but while getting...

Yep, that's right! Yet another platform that my homebrew remake of batterycheck is going to run on! While I would like to give a better estimate I am still in the research phase of finding examples to show graphics and stuff! It looks like the only homebrew that's still being worked on are...

The original game is using the same game engine that was used for Jazz Jackrabbit 2, or actually an earlier version of it if I remember correctly. That's why I have been able to use the documentation on the Jazzz2Online website to unlock the secrets of the BatteryCheck files. There are minimal...

Now that my WiiU is hooked up again....and I got a hacked together charger for my GamePad :rofl2::rofl2:....I have finally committed myself to do some actual gaming on the thing! When I just got it I know I have played a bit of Captain Toad and Donkey Kong but other than that...not so much. I...

Almost since the beginning of my homebrew project the collision detection has been really bad! I have made that clear, but still it makes it feel a bit of a "bad game" too me. One of the biggest issues I had was that when jumping or falling from a higher platform the player sings into the ground...

There I was last night...ready to finally try Mocha CFW on my Wii U after postponing it for nearly 3 years now!!! I always thought that the DS game was required but that seems not to be the case with Mocha. It's just a browser exploit! So even if the Wii U store closes (or is it already?) this...
Even in it's unfinished state I had the impression my homebrew game BatteryCheck on multiple platforms was downloaded quite a lot! So just for fun I collected the stats here: DatePlatform and VersionViews 2018-12-06Wii v0.1112 2018-12-27Wii v0.2109 2018-12-27GC v0.2118 2018-12-303DS...
I think it was in 2018 that I went to a "retro gaming market" here in the Netherlands. Among other items I bought a cheap GameBoy Player without the disc, since I knew about the Gameboy Interface app already. It has taken me alll the way till yesterday to finally try it out for once...

When working with older gaming hardware, and specifically flashcards, you run into an issue that they only support the SD/MicroSD sizes of the era. In case of the cheap GBA flashcard's I have from china: SuperCard Mini SD they expect a card smaller than 2GB in capacity! While that is challenging...

I have always made it very clear that my homebrew project BatteryCheck is a remake and that I do not own the rights to the graphics and game files. This is still the case, but since the "official download page" is offline since a few weeks I have been looking for other options. The internet...

With the number of console mods out there that gives HDMI to just about anything I was wondering: Is there anything like that for the DS or 3DS? I mean something that will turn a regular handheld into a console to play on a big screen. Kind of like the GBA consolizer but for the DS or 3DS...

Big words maybe....but I have finally been successful in writing a value into the SuperCard's RAM and reading it back again! :D:D This test program compiles as a MultiBoot binary that can be launched from the SuperCard's menu directly! The plan is now to first expand this test program to run...
This post is mostly some random thoughts about stuff....don't read if you think it's too long. Oke. :) I am not sure how to resume any of my projects anymore....I have posted a couple of wild ideas and planned projects for various game consoles over the few years I have been a member here. I...

While expanding my GBA library a lot last year I got really annoyed that the games almost always come without a protective box! This is Nintendo's fault ofcourse for selling them in cart box cases which almost everyone threw away after buying them! Since I could not really find something that...

My little homebrew remake of BatteryCheck depends on the original game files to be provided by the user for legal reasons. Up until now my instructions to get these files were to download a ZIP file from an old website I had found that hosted the download. It was from one of the companies that...
