of course the whole reason to make your own video games is to make sure you never have to play anyone else's ever again

I can't in good conscience stay on this website anymore, and honestly, I can't help but judge any of you who do either.

Elon Musk is a terrible person who is promoting ideologies that will get people killed.

Goodbye, Twitter, and go fuck yourselves

My first PC Engine homebrew's live! Don't expect much, just getting my feet wet on the system.

It's a dumb memegame made for a friend of mine who loves Touhou, from a joke on the Metroid Discord :P

@RetroRGB With a PC-FX GA, of course, you can use a floppy disk

Added PCB Scans of the IGS PGM3 to my website! I will be adding more.. I just have to go through the rest and pick the best scans. Another big thank you to @clintkolodziej for sharing all his PGM3 scans and information https://t.co/EMC4JZynF7

For some reason I feel like pointing out that you can find me on the fediverse at https://t.co/a4giwUkX5m

Whether it's fediverse or bluesky, I really like the model of decentralized social media and want it to catch on more-- shout-out to server admin @ActionRetro1

Experimenting with a comparison of Juno First on MAME to my core to see how well they stay in sync (subject to my simultaneous button pressing skills). Looks pretty much spot on😁 But I hadn't realised how deterministic it is, despite all the times I've played the first wave!

@DamienMcFerran I think my messages are open; what's up?

[Nicole Express @nicole_express]

@Duey0x0 ah I don't have an NES or a Famiclone but I did test it on the FPGA-based AVS!

New blog post! A look at krikzz's new RGB Blaster product. Getting RGB video from the Famicom without any mods-- is it really possible? https://t.co/3mkcL2j7jT

As a follow on to my prior tweet, they have one a VARKON at Galloping Ghost if you’re interested in playing it. It’s essentially a vertical pinball machine in an upright arcade cabinet, it’s freaking amazing IMO. #pinball #arcade

@artur @neobluemax Yeah I definitely don't think reverse-engineering the BIOS is impossible, I'm just curious what sorts of tradeoffs they've made and what edge-cases are handled, because I'm often curious about that sort of thing

[Nicole Express @nicole_express]

Looking at the Analogue page, I see they claim that "Analogue Duo does not operate utilizing any bios files from any other entities." I wonder then, have they reverse-engineered the whole PCE CD BIOS? I wonder what their compatibility rate is

[Nicole Express @nicole_express]

@FG_Software A-Train only works with the Japanese System Card 3.0 BIOS; even the US Super System Card BIOS or the LaserActive BIOS fail

[Nicole Express @nicole_express]

@Shentok_ I like that they put the pinout there, I often get my DB15 pinout expansions confused

[Nicole Express @nicole_express]

Looks like the Axunworks Supergun Mini has a neat new look

This has been my go-to supergun since I got it and it hasn't disappointed me yet!

[Nicole Express @nicole_express]

@isugimpy It got *both* a CD-ROM and a HuCard release, weirdly enough

[Nicole Express @nicole_express]

@harcalion @RetroRGB @analogue there are definitely advantages to the Duo as-is; I expect it'll probably also allow you to use the composite/s-video palette with RGB image clarity, which is a feature my setups lack
