    A multi-platform port for Pokemon Emerald is in the works, supports Windows, Linux, and Android

    No, a port is the exact opposite of emulation. Emulation is making it so that code compiled for different hardware can run on your machine. A port is like this allows you to compile the source code so that it will run natively on your machine. However what I noticed in some ports is that they...

    Let me save you the suspense; the Switch 2 won't get hacked

    I remember being like you once. But people kept surprising me with unprecedented combinations of stupidity and trolling and now nothing surprise me anymore. I have seen people saying really stupid stuff only to back out when proven wrong and then acting like: "Oh I can't believe you fell for...

    Looking forward to the day you are proven incorrect. (because you will be). And then I am going to hang you out for your embarrassment.

    Pokemon Crystal Pikachu Edition (rom hack)

    Added a custom title screen animation featuring Pikachu instead of Suicune. I am no pixel artist and this was the best I could do today. I might tweak it for future versions as I know it could be better. The .ips patch will be updated soon with this inclusion

    I have posted an updated version with countless bug fixes. In the previous version there was multiple gamebreaking bugs as well as visual glitches related to ram poisoning and sprite limitations. It's been taking me quite a long time to hunt these bugs down and fixing them, I had to rewrite...

    Pokémon Crystal gets a PC port titled "suiCune" based on C/C++ language

    You really need a proper LLM harness for large projects like these, not just a chatbot in the browser.

    Plenty of hacked systems use advanced encryption, to my knowledge bruteforcing the decryption keys has never been the way. It's been more successful to in different way get the system itself to spill the beans. An entry exploit could be useful to start poking around.

    Let me save you the suspense; the Switch 2 won't get hacked

    If you were a Cisco engineer with that mindset then that would certainly explain the never ending barrage of Cisco related vulnerabilities... Joking aside, a machine not being hacked does not mean that it's "unhackable". It could just mean that no one with the skill tried to hack the machine...

    Let me save you the suspense; the Switch 2 won't get hacked

    If it makes you sleep better at night not expecting anything then sure. As someone who works in CyberSecurity and has lived as a gamer and hacking scene enthusiast since the 90s I can tell you with great certainty. No code is ever truly bug free and unhackable. The way I see it is that there...
