MesenCE has a releases page now, so no more needing to build from source just to use the emulator.https://github.com/nesdev-org/MesenCE

>>12613619RHDN user TonyJih recently made this hack of Mega Man V (Game Boy) which restores Mega Man's original Mega Buster.To obtain it, you have to buy it from Dr. Light's shop like any other item. However, you'll be able to switch between the Mega Buster and the Mega Arm as your default weapon.https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9696/>>12614169Neat! I guess it's time to update Mesen again.Seeing that Mesen now supports Game Boy Link Cable emulation, I hope that they also add support for Game Gear Link Cable emulation in the future.I think there's currently like 1 or 2 emulators that have Game Gear Link Cable emulation, but they aren't very good ones.
The 4 GB limit of MSU-1 only applies to the data stream portion, correct? There's no limit to the amount of PCM audio an MSU-1 ROM can use, right?
>>12615413>correct? [...] right?Correct but you'd be limited to 64k total audio files of 4GB each

*saves the master system*https://studiomdhr.com/mightycuphead/
>>12616698Funny thing is that Studio MDHR was actually in SMSPower like 10 years ago, asking users how feasible would it be to create Cuphead for the SMS.https://www.smspower.org/forums/14847-CupheadNewSMSGame
>>12616704Very.
>>12616698>another fucking fakeThats not the resolution of SMS games, but more like this >>12616896
>>12616996NTA, but Studio MDHR posted in the SMSPower forums today and confirmed the game is indeed coming to the SMS.As for the resolution thing: I read in SMSPower that later models of the SMS have an option for a bigger vertical resolution, so maybe this Cuphead game will make use of it.
>>12617032This still smells like a hoax, the character animations looked a bit too advance to being even for Game Gear, maybe Genesis if they were being honest.
>accusing developers of Cuphead of lying about developing a demake of CupheadWhy would they lie about this? What would they gain from lying about this? The credibility loss it'd cause it far too large.
So why did the cuphead thread get pruned?
>>12617941Not enough AI spam by this boards new standards
>>12617941Not retro.>But it’s homebr-Not retro.
>>12617941Post it again with an image like this one and the mods will ignore it.>>12595742
>>12617941>and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted).Best guess is that it's technically not homebrew, so the exception doesn't apply.But at the same time, it's absolutely not an official game for the SMS.So this raises the question: Where do aftermarket releases count in /vr/'s rules?
>>12617995There is nothing to guess, the Code Veronica remake thread is still up.
I appreciate Pigsy's dedication to his craft. I really do. You don't keep doing this shit for 3+ years if you don't have the passion behind it. What I can't stand is treating SGDK like the objective end all be all of Genesis development. High level coding is only a commodity when you have a much more complex system or architecture that you would be extra retarded or autistic to try and interface the bare metal. When you have an idiot proof machine like the Genesis and a CPU with ACTIVELY user-friendly machine language (and big endian to boot) why the fuck wouldn't you just learn 68k, the basics behind how the hardware works, use some free driver for sound and have complete control over what you're making?>LOOK GUYS BIG VRAM OPTIMIZATION, WE DON'T NEED TO LOAD A FUCKING ASCII FONT ANYMORELike miss me with this goddamn shit holy fuck
>>12617942your level of butthurt is fascinating. vidrel is your face when you realize AI is here to stay and there's nothing you can do about it
>>12618091Why should somebody waste their time learning to program for an obsolete system the hard way?
>>12618095>waste their time learninglearning expands your thinking. are you really asking on a retro board about the value of learning assembly
>>12618095Because fighting the devkit with its arbitrary bullshit or holistic interface to force it into the mold that you want and then lamenting you can't is equally as time wasteful?
>>12618093Tranny Smith
>>12618107Yes. There’s some things that are a waste of time to learn. Learning about scat porn is a waste of time. Learning about transsexuality is a waste of time. Learning assembly is a waste of time.
>>1261811441%?
>>12618121>scat porn>transsexualitythe level of jewishness in this anon... this is what occupies your mind? You should go to another board if that's the case. No one wants to hear about that here. In any case your actual technical arguments fall flat if this is the best that you have been able to come up with.Getting back to what's important, the anon is right about the SGDK. It is not the end all be all.
>>12618139Good job not actually refuting my argument. I accept your concession.
>>12618091>(and big endian to boot)How does that affect the development experience?
>>12618139Nobody wants your AI bullshit either but you keep slinging it about the place.
>>12618121Following your passion is never a waste of time.
>>12618152It's easier to mentally visualize data or register blocks if you're not a freak.
Out of curiousity, I was looking into how you'd implement memory paging on the N64. It looks like a fucking headache. I really hate how TLB entries are grouped into pairs. Each pair shares a bunch of attributes, so you can't just map a single 4 KB page and call it a day. Instead, you have to do this silly little dance where you map two neighboring 4 KB pages, mark one as invalid, then rely on TLB exceptions to let you fill in the unused half as needed. Maybe software page tables were a mistake.
>>12618169What if my passion is to make a Sega game without learning assembly?
>>12618213then you seeth cus it's not possible

>>12622538Hilltop literally made a blog post about the Segaga AI translation and how they don't understand why someone who cares about a translation would use AI, so I doubt it.
>>12624241That doesn't mean a whole lot. Either they're true to their word or they'll just try to be sneaky about using AI.
>>12624267They've been publishing patches since way before LLMs were viable. I don't know why you think they'd switch over now.
