what do you mean "the near-complete source code to Princess Maker 1 and 2 was quietly uploaded to GitHub a few months ago and nobody noticed"
https://github.com/ritsuro/PrincessMakerPC9801
https://github.com/ritsuro/PrincessMaker2xPC9801
it seems to be with the permission of whatever remained of Gainax and/or whoever holds the copyright, but with a few conditions (the source code is MIT-licensed, but it is also requested that it not be used for commercial purposes without explicit permission)
the main omissions appear to be:
- music/sound drivers (a different programmer holds the copyright, so it's not part of this release)
- ending scripts (no spoilers!)
- internal development tools
- EXELOAD for PM2 is in a separate repository => https://github.com/ritsuro/exeloadPC9801

I finally have a fursona! Thanks a lot to bsky.app/profile/takaalive.bsky.social for making this amazing ref sheet, he was amazing to work with and I couldn't have hoped for a result as good as this!
this guy wasnt gonna be a yoshi but then i gave them spikes on their head and they became one
It does have a special feature where, instead of the X and Y buttons being turbo buttons like on every other 4 button famiclone ever made, they just don't do anything
So how is it? Well it's shit actually. Bland menu and full of the same Nice Code games everyone has been sick of for 20 years. C'est la vie
I haven't bought a cheap handheld in a while but this one caught my eye because it looks like a "legal" version of the ubiquitous Games Power K10 by Jncota. And Jncota almost never does "legal" so this could be interesting right? Well it cost too much money and took too long to arrive but here it is
dug up the files from the last time i tried making a game in 2014
i tried making a puyo puyo clone in java just to see if i could. i can't compile it on this machine rn but i didn't get as far as implementing proper gameplay, i think you could drop blobs into the well and fill it up and that was it
