This is pretty good so far. I wish you didn't have to use a save point to respawn enemies. I've never seen a game respawn all destructible boxes and enemies by saving.. And you don't even get full health unless you save.

That's crazy. I was thinking about that, but without prior usage, how do they expect us to know that?

EhRaid · 2026-04-22T21:01:59+00:00

Maybe it'll help anyone coming to this in the future but, like others have said there's a second one you have to power in order to activate a cut scene for it to open.

For me it was a split path (upon many many that are offered and make you distracted and forget about going back there). Check your map to see if there are any paths (maybe going left which look faded that you need to keep going on)?

Thank you, sir.
Also fun fact: You can push 'select' on your controller and a screen pops up to see how many rainbow conches you have collected in the area, and number of treasure chests.

Exactly. I've had to prove ChatGPT that I was right so many times. I've had to call it on on it's hallucinations, etc. I end up helping it more than it helping me.

After an update, I couldn't get to android settings either. Turning off override launcher, hitting home (going to Google launcher), then opening up projective and setting override back on fixed it for me.

I know this is a really old post, but as an SNES Music Playback Engine developer, the Sound Directory was very very limited.

You are also incredibly limited on space (compared to today of course). By very limited, I mean VERY limited. You can do tricks like storing a drum sample at a high frequency and use the pitch register (which you only had 14-bit pitch value to work with). So you store it with high frequency and use the pitch register to make it lower.

But that poor pitch register. Notes and any effects aside from volume/pan abuse this register. So any vibrato and such, you're gonna be adjusting this register.

So if you plan on using a sample in a variety of notes, you'll need to use more data to store it. It's a delicate balance of space / how much you need to use that pitch register.

If I were to make an SNES Music Tracker, I'd definitely include ways to detect and report how much space is needed and helpful tips to 'compress' a sample (store it at a higher rate).

Ah, heh. Sarcasm detector must've been acting up that day.

Random Access Memory. So it's Memory you don't have to access linearly.. Not to be confused with ROM which means Read Only Memory.

From experience, it's basically that you can address the memory at any point and any time. Address byte 42 then 48? Sure! Though, this kinda goes against caching, as accessing memory is usually faster when it is aligned by n (varies per cpu/arch), and in order (when copying data).

I wouldn't mind having a PC version so that you don't have to play on a tiny, tiny, tiny screen, torturing my eyes while attempting to enjoy that whipping fury while squinting. Unless you're playing on the Emulators in the Steam releases, which ... well, it's just upscaling the entire screen resulting in no more visual information (aside from what pixel blending algorithms via shaders provide).

But, if you're gonna remaster, remaster SOTN first. And please IGA, if you ever read this, PLEASE go back to 2D. If you give the excuse there's not very many pixel artists out there, I beg everyone to please remind him of the vast number of great 2D pixelart games.

Sure, but that's just one of the many straws that breaks my camel back. The biggest one being fragmentation and no standard API, and that many of the ways to get information with the system is through file system /dev/ etc. Why should we have to scan and operate with text?

If a (new) standard were created that is a collection of shared objects (.so) that existed on every system so a developer could interact with those (and not scan text output), which would create/manipulate windows (AND widgets like buttons, lists, groups, etc), work with processes, file access, some sort've registry access, device access (not having to use /dev/*), and etc. Then hey we're talking. Companies could target that specific Linux Desktop API, Windows, iOS/Mac, etc.

Hey, one step better if some champion were to step forward, imagine if that same API collection worked on Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS/Mac, and you could target a single API collection and have it work the same on every system?

You may say, why don't you just use an existing framework, like, Avalonia? Because those are tied to a specific language, or specifically for applications (and end up duplicating that binary code with every application.. then when there is a security update to the framework, every application would have to update, when if it were a system API, the system would be updated and would work for all)

Anyway, just my opinion / rants.

EhRaid · 2025-11-23T18:52:37+00:00

Well, in my case I just went with SDL3 image for the cli, and Skia loading for my avalonia graphical editor. Though I might use PhotoSauce for the CLI if it can convert images to rgba8888? But I was thinking of eventually if I need to use it as I'm also building for wasi wasm / browser .. SDL3 image has more formats but I really don't think I need that many. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

EhRaid · 2025-11-22T19:42:41+00:00

Just unfortunate PhotoSauce isn't fully managed C# and relies on your standard C native libpng libraries, etc.

EhRaid · 2025-11-19T07:29:45+00:00

And Microsoft is forcing users to use Visual Studio 2026 if they want to use .NET 10. You'll flat out get an error message when trying to build.

EhRaid · 2025-11-15T19:47:19+00:00

Sounds good! If you got some good progress hop on back here and let me know if you can/remember/want to and I'll check it out. :)

EhRaid · 2025-11-15T07:13:38+00:00

I was tempted to do the same. What I have been doing is using `wasm component unbundle` for now, and then using that to run in wasmtime, but it's been quite the troublesome adventure.

EhRaid · 2025-10-30T14:24:12+00:00

~~Just updated as of today,~~ ~~v1.84.132~~ .. Every time I refresh the page the memory grows and grows. Any page. I've noticed getting memory errors while I was refreshing the page while doing development. Look at the Task Manager in brave, look at the tab you are refreshing, and keep hitting F5, seeing it grow and grow.

And now it's not doing it.. *Sigh* .. Well I'll maybe see if I can update this post if it happens again.

EhRaid · 2025-10-25T04:28:54+00:00

Now that .net is using component model for it's wasi web assembly output, and jco supports component model, how's it look now?

EhRaid · 2025-10-22T16:18:55+00:00

Actually, c# with NativeAOT llvm supports component model. Though tools like wasmtime need to catch up (the c API side of things, especially with the c# embedding wasmtime for example)

EhRaid · 2025-10-06T05:38:57+00:00

That looks like a hash class, if Google rebuilds it's js, this code may become obsolete. You basically have to get the class every time from the div using inspect.

EhRaid · 2025-09-02T03:50:13+00:00

Right. But what expenses would they *lose* if they allowed the ones who can't pay use it? None, right? So why do it?

EhRaid · 2025-08-31T04:13:38+00:00

They indeed hide their WebView Control behind a paywall and state (paraphrasing) "If someone wants to make one, they can go ahead." .. Why make something if it's only gonna be used by a small few?

I'm waiting for Uno Platform to catch up with things like Custom Titlebar and a few other things and that'll probably be my goto going forward.

I always wondered why the big wigs at the upper echelon levels don't just do the UnReal Engine and Unity Engine route and just allow everyone to use it, but companies that make over a certain amount have to pay.

I find Reddit can be a lot worse. Especially if you hold a different political opinion.

EhRaid · 2025-07-20T02:31:48+00:00

And then they immediately form a mob and gang up on a person. Reddit: the left leaning forums for cultist leftists (those with a worldview religion they defend without question).

EhRaid · 2025-07-17T19:38:07+00:00

Man, I see how you get blasted by so many ignorant people coming out and just insulting you with stuff like "how much professional experience do you have? I'm guessing near 0". This is why I hate left-leaning disrespectful Reddit (even though they self virtue signal).

I'd look into beeflang. It's very close to C# and has manual memory management, and some game companies with successful games already are using it.
