Code writer and web designer. I hack old games and rarely play them. I like dem colors.

This is without a doubt my best project to date. I hope you are as excited as I am!

[Limited Run Games @LimitedRunGames]

The transforming hero Yakopoo is back in Trip World DX! Limited Run's Carbon Engine team & Sunsoft collaborated to create this all-new, colorized remaster of Trip World for modern consoles. Physical pre-orders open on April 28th.

I've tweaked the intro screen, especially the ornaments. Hope you like it!

And more importantly… I added hicolor mode! I'm using a lot of tricks in cutscenes with portraits to display as many colors as possible. (Don't watch the video if you want to go completely spoiler-free!)

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@playablemuseum Pretty well, code-wise it’s basically done, aside from some extra stuff I still want to add.

Content-wise, I have more than half of the graphics finished, and I’m slowly working on the OST as well.

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

There's a lot of confusion around the terms decomp, recomp, disassembly, and port, and people have been asking me which category Super Mario Land Advance falls into.

A small explanation here, in case you're interested: https://t.co/r6JVwx3BlP

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

I ended up implementing a VWF for the jumbo text as well. I also tweaked the font to match the regular text, so everything feels much more consistent.

Here's a before and after:

@Gelionchan No prometo nada que tampoco me quiero añadir más curro, pero teniendo ya todas las herramientas para hacerlo...

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

Here's an update on how the retranslation is looking!

If you've played the game before, believe me when I say this is doing more to make it feel fresh than the colorization itself.

It still needs a final editing pass, but I'm really happy with how it's coming together.

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@Xodus_sv I've been very, very wrong with my estimates in the past, so I'd rather not make another one until I know the timeline for sure.

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

And here's a before-and-after with the gameplay I showed previously.

It's pretty wild seeing how much it's been polished since then.

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@Fiuke_ La cosa es que en este caso no hay.

Lo más cercano es el #2, que fue mencionado por Sakurai en un post de Miiverse y luego ese post traducido por alguien de Nintendo of America. Pero quien lo tradujo en realidad lo dejó en japonés, añadiendo entre paréntesis "translated as..."

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

Which English title?
1. For the Frog the Bell Tolls
2. The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls
3. For Whom the Bell Croaks

1: Closest to the JP: same structure as Hemingway's title, with "frog" replacing "whom"
2: Way too long, but NoA used it on Miiverse
3: Two puns, like the original

Loving my Pocket Advance

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@ThousandDanny Some of the recent tooling is AI assisted, as well as some testing and bug catching. The code itself is old enough that no AI was involved.

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

I finally have a build with everything: 12px height font, VWF, colored bubbles and labels🥲

Almost everything regarding text is finished!

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@SanogoMari38278 @KazeEmanuar @Jaiydanimate I don't think you understood what I meant

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@KazeEmanuar @Jaiydanimate Most of what you do requires craftsmanship, not just technical prowess. A noob with AI might be able to "match" you in the latter, but never in the former.

@shaomu0 日本語版にも名前を入れようかと考えてるけど、カタカナだと収めるのがかなり難しい！

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

With the VWF allowing longer text without needing as many text boxes and many constraints removed, I think I should retranslate the game. The TL did great given its limitations, but character tone can change dramatically now.
Here's an example for Jap speakers.
What do you think?

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@janjavier4 No, por desgracia tocará retraducirlo.

@shaomu0 ご安心ください、最終版は日本語版にも対応しますよ！🙂

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@frawn_face Not sure I understand the question.
The glitches and crashes happen in any project at a certain stage, hand-written or AI.
It’s just a matter of caring about quality and testing things properly or not.

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

Yeah, sure... Just looking a bit through that list:

- Lego Island: commits by Claude
- Jax 1, 2, 3: AGENTS.md
- Midnight Club: commits by Claude
- DBZ Budokai 3 HD: AGENTS.md
- Dante's Inferno: AI usage is disclosed

Remember: disclosure ≠ usage.

[Lion Man 'Yuyake' @Funky90sLion]

Getting tired of untested vibecoded ports that are just buggy and because no experienced coders are around, they can't fix it?

Never fear, as I have listed decomps and recomps done by actual people and it will continue expanding! If you know any, lemme know!

[Iván Delgado @toruzz]

@lleoxtls @Fiuke_ It won't be compatible, unfortunately, so the game will need to be retranslated.

Hopefully, it'll be a quick process since the text is already available.
