I tried out that original Game Boy bible at a Christian bookstore many years ago ago and it was surprisingly good enough that I could see it having been worth a consideration for the type of person that has to have a bible with them when they travel and was already planning on packing a Game Boy. Surprisingly responsive and the search function worked well.

Super 3D Noah's Ark is okay but only because it’s built onto another good game.

I guess it would take seconds if you've played a ton of Wolfenstein. But I've played Wolfenstein through years ago and just a little every other time, which I imagine is true for most people. And I gotta admit, cuz of the time it released not a lot of parts of that game are super distinct from each other. I couldn't sit here and map out any part of the game. Just lots of hallways and doors

Dewgy posted:Not especially hard, there was even an eBook maker thing for if you had a GB flashcard. I think there’s a ROM I made of the complete works of Lovecraft still floating around on the internet somewheres. How much rom do you have on that? The Bible is a few megs in plain text which is larger than the 128 or 256kb your typical early 90’s ROM, so there’s on-the-fly decompression that has to happen when viewing - don’t expect full text search like a PDF. 8 kb RAM, and a Z80, God bless us all. On the upside, text compresses well. NyetscapeNavigator posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L2bOVHf_9Y&t=261s All NROM (no mapper chips) games so he must have worked there pre 1986. C’mon, Luchador bro, it’s been forty years. Hudson was the first 3rd party developer. I forget if they were producing games with or without a Nintendo license in 1983. No lockout chips on the Famicom. You talk about console launches being rough, it wasn’t until ‘85 when 3rd parties are “Oh the FC is a Thing, now.” Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Apr 14, 2023 |

the bible is likely extremely favorable to things like dictionary compression. how much so is hard to say. Jesus saves (space in the ROM)

Luigiblood/Yakumono knows exactly what happened and while he doesn't want to go into specifics he makes it clear it wasn't a takedown over any of its releases: https://twitter.com/LuigiBlood/status/1651887775673643008 As an aside, here is Forest of Illusion's final release, which a lot of people may have missed because it was posted about a day before the site went kaput: Nintendo LodgeNet 64 (Gateway System) ROM Collection

funny you mention that my understanding of forest of illusion is that the person who operated that site is somewhat notorious for getting spooked, packing up shop, and deleting everything; this isn't the first time they've done it and it may not be the last.

We also still have places like Gaming Alexandria and Hidden Palace doing great work with preservation. Forest of Illusion’s past work hasn’t been lost so while I appreciate all they’ve contributed, I’m fine with them bowing out if they can’t handle the stress and risk that comes with the territory.
