Yeah, and speaking of which, more updates to pocketvt have been added. I (or rather, Claude) is planning to add more more mappers to bubble2k16's VirtuaNES for 3DS (possibly also VTxx, if possible, to increase accessibility of those games).

This screenshot of Cheetahmen brought to you by Claude Code allowing suckers like me to waste my time on things just because i can, lol.

WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW DARE YOU!?

MORE PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISH DECISION of allowing Cheetahmen to be playable... if I could conpress all the vomit the 80s produced, it would take the shape of Action52 and Cheetahmen...

@Krem Quay
Now port Cheetah Girls!


Seriously speaking, wonder if Claude or you could port those Famiclon "9999999-in1" mappers?

i don't think abyone has it, and unfortunately I can't dump it. I've looked for actual images of my bootleg cartridge but haven't found ANYTHING related to it.
It's a 99999-in-1 thar came with a laptop famiclone, so most of the games are typing related... I don't think I can even playbit right now because I don't have controllers for my Famiclon.

The one I can't find ANY photos of is the one below...
Had own ot since... if I recall correctly... 2000 or 2001...

I'm aware mapper refers to the chip themselves... but just wondering if anyone has dumped that blue cartridge before... am I owning a one of a kind? Again, can't find information about that particular cartridge.
 
how do you type on a GBA? LOL
Easy: Reverse engineer the Pokemon Keyboard, map it to GBA emulator.
Then write custom firmware for Pokemon Keyboard and solder USB-C port.
Mod GBA to support USB-C and hook the hacked Pokemon Keyboard to GBA USB-C.
Launch emulator, play typing game.

Literally a 5 step process :creep:


I'm aware, but just wondered if that particular mapper could be reverse engineered by AI. But until I have the hardware to dump my Famiclon Cartridges we will never know.

Don't take it too seriously though!

yeah theres countless "9999999 in 1" out there, and i don't want to waste turns on what could very well be properly implemented, hence why i want to know the specific one.
 
AI hate is mostly performative in the dev scene, when it's justified it's obvious and the product would be hated even without AI involved.
End of the day if it results in a good product/end result without major bugs, it's a good use of a tool. Especially if no one else is going to do what you're using it for (like that supersnes9x for those who don't want to use retroarch for the updated core with contemporary features)
You can't imagine the amount of people who blindly hate on AI made ports lol

Thankfully mods do a good job at keeping the peace. But if you go and look some subreddits on the matter It's mostly a shitshow.
 
the purist gatekeepers suck

I love the Doom port meme because it actually helps by inspiring port games to anything and anywhere possible, like Action 52 on GBA

I like seeing this progress still on PocketNES.

Is it possible to use Claude or whatever to modernize the 20 year old NES rom loader app Flubba had made(I think he did it?) back in the 2000s to create your own GBA roms to drop onto your flash kit? The same loader also worked for PCEAdvance too.

I've been wanting to make a few HuCard gba files to put on my ezflash omega and have been gatekept out because I cant get a VM going, and I can't for the life of me figure out how the hell to use Python either to make it myself. I've tried and failed at learning to code since the 90s and long gave up trying to figure out how to compile shit. People tend to get nasty and dismissive just saying, do it, when do it isn't that fucking simple unlike for them where it's second nature easy stuff.
