Ever thought about whether it would be possible to have a game like #SuperMario Maker work on #GBA hardware?

Well, wonder no more, cause that is now a reality, thanks to "Game of Tobi" who has created this hella impressive #homebrew version

GitHub - einar-saukas/ZX0: Data compressor for 8-bit computers and low-end platforms Data compressor for 8-bit computers and low-end platforms - einar-saukas/ZX0

Had an idea of LOAD ""SCREEN$ to combine #sinclairbasic with a detailed game screen (just don't CLS!). Then decided a buffer would let me switch screens. Now falling down a github.com/einar-saukas... rabbit hole to see how many .SCRs I can fit. Can you still call it BASIC? The eternal question

Apenas una semana resta para presentar más propuestas a la MSXdev 2025 y por ahora estos son mis favoritos.

Aunque creo que deberían existir varias categorías distintas: MSX estándar, MSX con añadidos (mapper, V9990...), MSX2, etc...

It's wild to think that #SonicTheHedgehog was the first Xbox 360 recomp we saw...and just how impressive it was! It just hit a big milestone and hopefully we get more, full #Xbox 360 recomps in the future youtu.be/RAk-_3BZFHU #Sega #gaming #gaming_news

New Doom8088 and elksdoom releases. This release is almost 5% faster than the previous release.

Why didn't I think of optimizing the BSP trees with a node builder before?

Fool's Errand progress report: intro is done, we're now porting the game itself. The game data loads and the story view is (mostly!) rendering properly; scrolling up and down will jump between sections of the story which have been unlocked. Next goal is to start porting over puzzle code.

My game production super power is having a compiler that literally stops working if I try to add too many features to my game.

Build output for Even Goblins Fall In Love that tells me I have ~958 bytes of space left in PRG ROM.

Tell me about SID music production. I would like to pay someone money to compose songs and sfx for my game, but in order for that to be worth the money, I have to be able to use the songs they make, and thus I need to be able to load whatever format their software exports.
