I am not sure when I got my original DMG Gameboy but man did I want it badly! Even though I only really had Tetris on it and occasionally rented a new game I loved the thing! But somehow I have never bought the Gameboy color...but also never got a Gameboy advance when it came out. I was saving...
About a year ago...or maybe a little more...I posted about wanting to run a GameCube and a Wii from Solar Power! Without using an inverter ofcourse because that would be to easy! hahahah Originally I had planned to use a DC-DC converter to output a stable 12V that could be used by the GameCube...
My last post was about finding my GBA Micro again and continuing with Zelda Minish cap. The Micro's battery was empty so I had to find the charge cable first...and after I did I also found my DS. Also an empty battery...so recharged it through some very cool but hacky way! using a mostly...
While I was going through a few things to cleanup...I found a little piece of gold! Or at least it's worth it's weight in gold....I think. Hahahah. It's the GameBoy Advance Micro with Zelda Minishcap in it! I was really far in that game but got stuck a little about what to do and where to go. It...
A few days ago I got the elevators moving by simply counting an offset if the elevator sprite becomes visible. While rewriting and rethinking a few core concepts of my game engine and how things work I almost fell for the same trap as before!!! Putting code into the wrong places!! :blush...
A few weeks ago I was talking about making the elevators move right? Well...they're moving but not quite as they should! There is a couple of things involved to make it perfect but let's take a look at how they move now...
(I reduced the quality a bit and zoomed in to make the "video" smaller)...
Why does the entertainment industry not get it!!!!! (rant about regional locks..and learning German)
Unlike 10-15 years ago when I was downloading A LOT of stuff....I barely do anymore. ONLY...when it's made impossible to view in any paid legal option do I return to "the dark side" :blush: Looking at YOU paramount+!!! Where can I watch Star Trek Prodigy and Strange New World from the...
In my last DevBlog I already listed a few requirements before the elevators will work in normal game play. We first need working battery holders the player can activate and an animation should play of swapping the empty battery for a full one, which looks pretty cool actually. :D Then your...
After what seems like an eternity of not doing anything with my homebrew project I do get ideas for it every now and then. Or wanting to fix some of the bugs it still has...maybe release the Switch version? Release the Wii U version with fixed sound? (yeah...fixed it already back then but never...
Years ago....all the way back in 2012 I bought a couple of Humble Indie Bundles. My main reason for jumping in was that you pay what you wanted for the offered bundle and you could specify for which platform you wanted your order to count. Obviously I was in for Linux! Power to the Penguin! :D...
Being vaccinated and careful is not enough apparently....since I got covid for the second time now! :blush::cry::ohnoes:.... feels like a heavy flu, headaches, coughing and other related cold symptoms, raised temperature and all that common fun stuff. Luckily it's just these symptoms and not...
Well...not much really. Unfortunately. my mind is in some sort of overload resulting in me mostly doing nothing...or mindless internet/youtube browsing etc... ^_^
To get a bit healthier I started swimming again. Getting annoyed by slow people, my swimglasses that get foggy for the first 30-60...
It's been a while since I did a devblog about BatteryCheck for a number of reasons. The biggest one is personal but I did write about it a few months ago here. The second reason is that there just was nothing to report on BatteryCheck development in that time. Which is a shame actually. All the...
This is going to be a rant about the imperial measurement system! I don't care you use Fahrenheit, inches, miles, feet's, yards, football fields and whatever......it's those damn fractals that I really can't understand! To be honest I am terrible at math...I hated it! Working on my homebrew game...
Like I said last week, I am learning to play the piano in an attempt to understand music just a little more. I am using an app called Yousician Piano and I am going through the learning process in "easy mode". This means that instead of regular sheet music it shows the exact name of the note to...
For a while now I have been thinking about learning how to play the piano. Watching those cool youtube video's where they play in public or just online doing song requests. And other related video's....it just always looked amazing somehow. Last week my niece was telling me she wanted to learn...
Years ago when the neighbours moved they asked if I wanted their big old CRT. It was a Sony...something and I said "Sure!" I just had to carry it down from the 4th floor myself! Hahaha
I moved it into my storage box almost immidiatly and never got arround to actually testing it! Kind of stupid...
Wow...a milestone is reached! Welcome to my 200th blog post which is not going to be about anything special. sorry. :P
Well, maybe I can share some of the stuff I have been working on a few days ago. I loaded my BatteryCheck game code again and started to tinker with it a bit. Trying to...
I have a small USB rechargeable portable fan, and for it's size it produces a lot of airflow actually! But since I recharge it's battery with solar power...and it produces wind...could you say it creates: solar wind? :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
I know....just could not resist! :D
Not my image...but...
I have posted about my solar power experiment before and wanting to power a Wii and GameCube with it, not using an inverter or the original AC adapter. Also posted a few things about using a portable power station that can be charged with solar and that I used it to make coffee. :D
To distract...
