Hi all, I've spent the past few months working to get Blue And Red: Fight The Robots - Arcade Edition working and released on Mega Drive/Genesis.

It's a one or two player arcade action single screen platformer, taking inspiration from many of the arcade classics of the 1980s and early 1990s.

There's no crowdfunding bullshit, and no physical release, just the full game release for free to download.

There's also Neo Geo and Amiga versions available if that's your thing.

I'd like to introduce Horror, Taichung, an upcoming Asian horror adventure currently being developed for the 8-bit NES and Famicom.

Your journey begins at 3:00 AM as you leave your apartment and wander into a deserted alley in an overlooked corner of Taichung City. There you come across a mysterious red envelope. Against your better judgment, you pick it up, only to discover that you've unknowingly cursed yourself.

Drawing inspiration from countless late-night and early-morning walks I've personally taken through Taichung, Taiwan, Horror, Taichung is built around storytelling and atmosphere. Although you'll collect a few key items throughout the adventure and need to solve a few mysteries, the experience is intentionally more streamlined than a traditional point-and-click game, with the focus being on the story and narrative itself.

The game's minimalist red-and-black visual style was chosen to reinforce its eerie atmosphere. Many of the environments are based on real locations throughout Taichung, while the story also incorporates local folklore and experiences I've had while living there. To help immerse players even further, we've produced a companion MP3 soundtrack that can be played while experiencing the game.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd love for you to check out the Kickstarter campaign. There are roughly fifteen days left, and we're working hard to make this unique horror project a reality.

Each physical copy also includes a number of handmade extras that help set the seen and feeling of the game, such as a red envelope containing story-related items and a weathered journal that ties into the game's narrative. Because recreating these components months down the line would be very time-consuming, I'm still unsure as to whether there will ever be a second physical print run after the Kickstarter. If you'd like to own a copy, this campaign may be your best chance.

I thought I'd share a few screenshots from a new fortune-telling game I've been developing for the NES and Famicom.

Players can choose what they'd like their fortune to focus on, from categories such as love and relationships, money and business, or travel and home life. After entering their name and completing a few traditional fortune-telling steps, they'll receive a personalized fortune.

The game is about 95% complete now, with just a few final tweaks left. I'll release it once it's done. One of the biggest challenges was storing all of the text, which ended up spanning three separate ROM banks. Dedicating that much space to dialogue and fortunes was quite the undertaking!

Anyway, I thought some of you might enjoy seeing a few screenshots from my latest project.

So, I have no idea how to programm and this might be 100 times answered dumb question, but I just have to ask. NES version of Metal Gear wasn't the same as the original and not in a good way. I know it came from some technical limitations (like how they couldn't reproduce end boss' behavior, etc.), however, as far as I know, there are new mappers that can really push what the console is capable of. So, my question is, why there isn't a homebrew version of MG and MG2 on NES? Is it technically too difficult? Is it not a very interesting project to do? Is is something illegal?

P.S.: I know there is a proper MSX2-version on Genesis, but I'm mostly interested in NES and there is no second game on Genesis yet anyway

hi there - i am the developer behind a new-ish tool for making GBA (game boy advance) homebrew games. the app is called PxGBA, and is available on itch.io

there is a dedicated subreddit and discord channel set up, it is in active development as it's been a passion project of mine for quite some time.

if you're interested, r/pxgba is the subreddit, where i've posted a few updates and links to discord and whatnot.

i'm kinda hoping it starts opening the floodgates for more great GBA homebrew games like GB Studio did for the DMG - ahhh, one can dream!

It has a ton of different enemies, mechanics, secrets, characters, a modified Slay the Spire-style map, a save system, a branching ending, TWO UPGRADE SYSTEMS: one for permanent progression and one for each individual run, plus buildcrafting, 4 biomes, an inventory, and the game can even make coffee. That last part is a lie.

But the coolest thing is that it runs on hardware from 1983.

For me, this game is an attempt to rewrite some difficult parts of my childhood, because before I ever had a computer, I spent a lot of time playing Chip ’n Dale, Tom & Jerry, and games like that. Maybe games were the thing that helped me survive the hardest moments.

Play for free!

Hi everyone,

I want to buy a PS5 Pro and have it jailbroken, but I want to be honest: I’m very non-technical and I’m still quite new to the scene.

My main goal is very simple: I just want to play many PS4 and PS5 games and have the whole setup work as smoothly and easily as possible. If it’s easy to use cheat menus, FPS patches, performance improvements, or anything like that, then that would be great, but it is not my main priority. The easier and more beginner-friendly, the better.

I know this subreddit probably gets a lot of beginner questions, and I also know that some people may find basic questions annoying, but I would really appreciate some patience. I don’t know most of the abbreviations, tools, firmware details, or processes yet, so please explain it as simply as possible.

My main question is whether a PS5 Pro is a realistic option for jailbreaking, or whether I should specifically look for a regular PS5 on a lower firmware instead.

I’m also trying to understand what firmware I should be aiming for if I want the best chance of having a smooth and beginner-friendly experience and all games available. Would a PS5 Pro on a certain firmware be okay, or is it generally a bad idea compared to a regular PS5 with lower firmware?

Before buying, I mainly want to avoid making a beginner mistake, like buying a console with firmware that is too high, buying a Pro when it is not really supported, or ending up with a setup that is way too technical for someone like me.

Thanks in advance for any help, and please keep the explanations beginner-friendly.

Hi! I’m developing Hyper Pulse, a new NES homebrew space shooter / shmup built for real NES hardware.

I’m mainly looking for feedback from NES players on the gameplay readability and overall NES feel: enemy visibility, stage hazards, screen shake, pacing, and whether the action still feels readable when things get busy.

The game has arcade-style shooting, collectable coins, upgrades, and stage hazards like rising lava, falling ceilings, screen-shaking quakes, and living tiles.

Here is a short teaser / gameplay clip:

All feedback is welcome!

Tech info:
I am creating the game with Nesfab language and custom self upgraded version of the MapFab editor.

The project currently uses the modern Rainbow mapper, but I intend do do a MMC3 conversion as well.

Edit: added screenshots
