Nintendo has no reason to want game preservation. If archive.org ever loses its DMCA exemption, Nintendo and others like them will be at their doorstep within the first hour demanding everything about them. All they care about is profit.

Oooooooops. My bad. Yea, I suppose linking an SPC player would probably be the only way to do something like that, in that respect.

...Palworld is Pokemon with guns.

And Nexomon and others like it?

...Those are all something I'll have to seek out videos for...

I can do you for a couple. I'll pull from a couple battle mode maps I made here...





EDIT: I thought one of those vids was Mine Blast. I'll have to get one in here soon.

And, actually, we just went past post ID 1000 earlier this evening.

It's still in the midst of being finished up but it's got a demo available on itch.io. 4 playable levels thus far. Really good looking project.

R-Type was on Master System, right? Huh. this is pretty cool!

---

Yep. From what I can tell, this takes it a lot further and retrofits some elements from the later games into it with a lot of other nice features. Truly looks like a work of love.

Claude got pipes.

All right, gets you one with Mine Blast in it that I made. Also gives you that sweet Prince uf Darkness background music.

I just pop in once in a while.

Right, and I'm not doing anything around this place either.

Aside from that on themes, the actual logo itself as well as the redux for the Discord icon looks pretty good.

The first ep of the redux to Ranma 1/2, the other night. Streamed it for everyone on Discord call this past weekend.

More Fightcade.

...I gave up on this again. Forgot I already have an account and tried Fightcade before, but gave up because how the Roms and files are structured. Maybe I'll try it again sometime.

Let me guess: You tried to make it work out of the box and think you need to get a torrent somewhere for 'additional content'?

Look up FC2 JSON pack for Fightcade. It will do the rest for about 99% of the games on there. Those update accordingly over time so you might want to check back on them every few months.

Gooootcha. I had similar years ago when I was setting up under FC1.

Eventually, I just ended up moving the set to another location entirely and putting the setup above in a separate instance. May have a few duplicate games here and there from those I use but it thankfully doesn't get all of the games from the set to do it either.

Well, sure. Further, if you have your games forever, how can they make money when the nostalgia cycle hits and they can make easy banks of 'remastered' ports, and the like?

Not to mention that we're getting to the point where SaaS is invading gaming as well. Physical media is dying and you're only in so much ownership of the software, or games, that you buy. People are getting pushed to do subscription services 'for a better price' in order to get more and more people away from it, among other things being tried and tested as the days and months progress.

I should go through some more Sharp X68K things more.

Not all of them die though, at least. AM2R is a good example of it. Even though they got put to the axe by Ninty, the project is very much still alive years later. Granted, it's no longer done by the lead dev but it still exists.

It's a setback for sure but there is proven resilience with these things. I've seen it over a quarter century now and people will do their very best to take on these company juggernauts to their dying breath.

Would it be better to have a separate translations request thread on something like this? Not that I ever expect anything like that to be done soon by any stretch of the imagination but there are a few things I wouldn't mind seeing in English as sort of a bucket list thing. I would wonder if that would be better suited for its own topic.

Huh boy...Ascalon is approaching. That means W Alter isn't far off.
