@EliasDaler Thanks for the recommendation!

Watch the whole OVA here, it's just 33 minutes and it will change your life. youtube.com/watch?v=XlLBX4…

This scene from Cat Soup (Nekojiru-sō) is so incredible... The part that starts from 2:38 makes me very emotional - I experience a small existential crisis and then a desire to live a life with not a minute wasted.

@lovesickndloser Hi, I'm still working on it! last year a took it easy but now I'm back in the game! The game is 85% documented and I have about 10% of functions matching the original executable. I'm planing on making a post with more details soon.

@Whitehole__ Hey man, I don't want to rush you as I'm just very excited about this but how is this project coming along. Any updates?

イイネくれた皆さんごめんなさい。なんか間違えて消してしまったのでもう一回上げておきます。R4の永瀬麗子のフィギュア作りました。良い感じにできました！　#RidgeRacer #永瀬麗子 #ワンフェス

@EliasDaler These bad boys

Okay, which controller should I support next?? Imagine the gameplay possibilities... 🤭

Today I added DualShock support to Yume Nikki PS. The future is now. You can now also walk while in first person now… and the game becomes very LSD Dream Emulator-like. 😳 (P.S. sorry for the loud controller sounds - hard to film and play at the same time!)

@EliasDaler Hehehe I knew they looked familiar

Today in mind-boggling PS1 effects: (fake) lights. They don't affect the objects in any way, just draw a cool halo... But it still looks nice. I stole the trick for rendering those halos from Ridge Racer 4. 😹

@__silent_ By their comment they must believe that programming in assembly is impossible because... you have to know the state of the CPU and how it operates at a transistor level for the entire duration of the program. LMAO

POV: You scroll down the comments section in a YouTube video covering Gran Turismo 2 patches/upscaling/PGXP/overclocking in an emulator:

@EliasDaler I have that exact same setup for debugging R4 on my PSX!

This is what peak PS1 development looks like I made my own serial to USB cable and it allows me to see printf output of my game when it runs on a real PS1! :D

Work of art

@SK91no I think I have found all the functions related to those units so it would be theoretically possible to create a rom hack to import km/h into the US version.

@Whitehole__ I'm curious if in your decompilation efforts if you've found anything pertaining to metric/imperial units. Having a way to switch while retaining 60hz would be awesome as a metric user

Half-Life 2 turns 20 this weekend, and we're celebrating with a big update: New developer commentary by the original team, Steam Workshop support integrated into the game, Episodes One and Two are bundled into the main menu, and tons more: half-life.com/en/halflife2/2…

@LeShokunin I'm still in the process of documenting the subroutines that draw the courses

@DieselTTV Correct!

@Whitehole__ @Textilismusic YOOOOO THAT IS INSANE So I’m guessing the texture of the wheel itself spins and nothing physically on the car?

I was looking at @Whitehole__ 's amazing reverse engineering of Ridge Racer Type 4 and saw this model. Man, my models are way too complex lol. Had I known that they were this simple, I'd have them done in a couple of days. Seriously their profile is a great resource for showing how older games were made which they did by deconstructing Ridge Racer Type 4. I still love the look of my cars tho, they look amazing and are probably good for this modern era.

@Textilismusic @DieselTTV Correct, btw take a look at this x.com/Whitehole__/st…

@DieselTTV @Whitehole__ Apparently it's the texture with a transparency, they have a cutout where the wheel arches are.

@j0ecore Yeah, they make sense most of the time, but some parts overlap like mountains for example

After a lot of work I present you: Helter Skelter!, the first Course from Ridge Racer Type 4 imported into Blender! #R4 #RidgeRacer #RidgeRacerType4 #reverseengineering

@KogeyFox Really cool! Did you rio any more parts? Yeah NAMCO certainly cooked with this one 🔥🔥

@Whitehole__ Here's a visual representation from a ripped mesh in Blender of the subdivision in action, it's quite impressive what Namco was able to pull off to make this game look as good as it did on PS1

Getting back on track! I modded the game to display an outline over every subdivided polygon on the screen, each color represents a different type of polygon (from the game's perspective).
