While talking with a colleague about Batterycheck I did a google search and found a recent article on the Ranj.com website here: https://www.ranj.com/en/battery-check-free-game-by-empty-batteries/ (I don't think copying the images would be appreciated that much ;)
For those of you that have...
Got yah!! :rofl2: This is actually going to be about my homebrew game engine that needs a massive re-factoring and redesign before I will be losing my mind!!!! I will try to clear my thoughts and combine what I have been reading the past weeks about "how to write a platform game" and best...
When I first started on BatteryCheck it was actually just a viewer to browse around the level and make sure I implemented the loader according to the specs. To make my demo a bit more fun and give the player something to do I really wanted a way to control Batteryman and make him stand on...
Last week I posted about my plans to port batterycheck tot the PlayStation Vita and that I got a PS Vita TV for really cheap. I wanted to mod the thing ofcourse but being new tot the Vita I had no idea what's out there and the risks of modding. What I have always wanted a Vita for is remote play...
On the very last day of 2019 I finally managed to get my hands on a PS Vita TV for such a low price I could not resist! The list of platforms for BatteryCheck is growing to insanity...:rofl2:...I know! But looking at the VitaSDK and how that is constructed in such a clean build environment I...
In my blog from two weeks ago I already mentioned I was going to continue my homebrew project again. Before adding new features I thought it might be smarter to fix some of the current issues and for that I have been reading back all forum threads and the sourcecode. The biggest thing I want to...
The last few months I have kind of abandoned my projects here on the game and modchips I created threads about. I needed a break and got back to my old modelrail hobby for a while (I blame my dad and grandpa for that :)) but along the way I picked up a few new abilities that will help the...
One of my many crazy ideas is to add Ethernet and USB to a GameCube using a STM32 micro-controller which is quite an ambitious and complex project. So I though it would be easier to try and port the available sourcecode for the XenoGC modchip to work on an STM32F103C8T6 which you could get for...
I bought my first Wii in about 2008 for maybe 250 euro's and a bunch of stuff to go with it. The motion controls were only fun for a short while and I mostly used it as a tiny GameCube to play The Windwaker. I did the bannerbomb mod and have an older version of the homebrew channel on it. All of...
A few weeks ago I had already updated my cryptic instructions into a much more easy to follow step-by-step guide here. This got me thinking again about extracting the files from the Setup.exe without ever running it on a windows environment. After many hours of analyzing how the Setup.exe works...
I am not going to explain in detail what I have done to get the results I have so far since it's kind of boring. The short version is I spend a lot of hours stepping through each instruction of the original Setup.exe until I found the part that actually read from the installer file and...
It has been said more than once I might be a bit too ambitious with my project in releasing it on multiple platforms at the same time. For those who have not heard it before...I am working on a remake of an old PC platform game called Batterycheck. You can see my other blog posts and threads to...
Just had to see if I could compile Batterycheck for Raspberry Pi since it runs on Linux and has support for OpenGL now. So I downloaded a fresh Raspbian image and flashed it on a SD card to use on my Raspberry Pi 3 B+. After configuring and installing the required packages from the repositories...
As far as I know the DHCP protocol has been around for at least 20 years and it's perfect to assign an IP address to a device. Nearly every device I know makes use of it but also offers the OPTION to set and address manually. When I look at every single NIntendo console out there and even the...
I have just received my first ever PlayStation 2 Phat that I bought used just because I could no longer resist writing code for it. I know my homebrew game is getting a bit out of hand on the multi-platform front but that is actually what I like most about the whole project :D I have only got to...
When I have added a new feature of fixed a bug in Batterycheck I can test for the Wii and Gamecube in an emulator using the real controllers through an adapter and Bluetooth. For the 3DS, PSP and Linux I just used my keyboard and had to remember the different key assignments which were not the...
A few months ago I was reading some documentation about the Gamecube that my interest in getting into homebrew was ignited again. I had tried before on the Sega Megedrive but did not get very far beyond a proof-of-concept demo for various reasons. This time I had gained some more experience and...

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time+1

SylverReZ:
Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.

SylverReZ:
So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.

@SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
