15 years after the last update, some corrections were made to the PC Engine and TurboGrafx 16 expansion port pinout:

Thanks to @Shadoff_d for the heads up.

@Shadoff_d Corrected! Thanks for the heads up.

And I fixed an error with A11 and A14 too, which do not bypass the power switch after all.

A brief tale of three racing games: Hotshot Racing, Inertial Drift, and Horizon Chase Turbo.

One of them isn't very good. The other two are brilliant in different ways.

Woo! I finished scanning all 200 pages from issue 4 of Backup Technique magazine!

Aaaand sometime between announcing this project, shelving it for years, and now, the original publisher did it and now sells a 2-DVD set.

So, fuck it, I'm out.

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

Scanning has resumed on Backup Technique magazine, the Japanese hacking magazine that preceded Game Lab. Issue 1 came out in 1986, and the whole run covers hacking and copying soft- and hardware for all the early Japanese computers and consoles. ^__^

Over on the forums, a user recently discovered that the wire colours in the X68000 PRO power supply didn't match the actual system.

So I updated the schematic, along with English translations.

Details on the forum:

A friend who used to shop at my old video game store sent me this recently. The 'OK' sticker we put on games, on a minidisc. If any image could summarize a huge part of my life, this one does.

Thanks @jeremymcbride

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

@SpritesMind @thehooster Nope, but now's a really good time to consider it again. I mean, what else am I going to do? =)

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

I'm scanning about 13 years of Backup Technique and GameLab, Japanese computer & console hacking magazines.

The Capcom CPS Changer didn't have much going on inside. This chip handles the Super NES controller decoding.

Wherein I talk about Rez Infinite briefly.

Not perfect but still sublime.

Casually prowling around in the VRAM for Metal Gear Solid VR Missions, and I found something the internet can't help me with:

MIRACLE WORLD

Wot's this then?

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

I've updated the arcade pixel font tool to include an overview, added some new comments, and two new fonts. One is great, the other awful.

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

I've updated the arcade pixel font engine with three new fonts and an update for one more.

@thehooster Not yet. The project stalled because the scanning rig took up space I needed for other things. I hope to get back to it in January.

Hey, kids, ya wanna know something really spooooky? Your PC-Engine / Turbografx card sleeves are decomposing before your very eyes! Woooo 💀
(Seriously, they're developing a sticky, oily residue that stains the instruction manuals. Throw out those sleeves... now!)

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

@gingerbeardman That's the only thing I've got, sorry. A bonus in an auction purchase years ago.

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

@AteThePrincess @RGBSource Woo, great news!

Let me know their email via forum msg or whatever and I'll look into it.

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

Thanks @RGBSource for letting me know the https://t.co/QIS7D2jenA wiki is offline!

I'll have it up and running in a couple of hours. Sorry for anyone who needed it for the last couple of days, it's halfway between two servers at the moment.

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

@AteThePrincess @RGBSource OK, the email settings were a little wrong. I've fixed them and sent reminder emails to all unactivated new accounts. I see they've left the mailserver and have reached the greater internet. Let me know if you still have trouble. ^_^

[NFGgames @NFGgames]

@AteThePrincess @RGBSource Thanks for the heads up, I'll have a look at it ASAP.
