Play Minecraft on your Sega Dreamcast
A few years ago, Vogtinator released crafti, a 3D Minecraft clone for the TI-Nspire CX featuring many elements from the original game. Then last year, it was ported to the GCW0 by gameblabla . However, after the GCW0, he has now ported it to the Sega Dreamcast console, which has quite a following among homebrew developers. His DC port of the game has recently received a lot of following and made the headline on various Sega Dreamcast news websites and com...

BasiEgaXorz BASIC compiler for Sega Genesis
I wonder if anybody ever tried BasiEgaXorz from ? I don't have time to learn that BASIC language right now, but I was curious about if it was any good for simple games? I am also curious if it's the same compiler that was used to make Crazybus (otherwise I am curious if that one was released too). If it's reliable, then perhaps it could be handy to port certain calculator games to the Sega Genesis or Mega Drive. Apparently it can even do Sega CD games...

IRC on a Super Nintendo?
by using a Pokémon glitch (I assume the one used in another TAS to reprogram the game into a My Little Pony song), they managed to take over the Super Game Boy SNES add-on, then the SNES itself, and used a controller cable to stream IRC-based Twitch chat via it.

The console definitively failed since they only targeted a then-niche audience and only had a limited game genre range. However, it's weird in the way that it's apparently a 32-bits console that...

PICO-8 to ship on a new game console called PocketCHIP?
It looks like PICO-8 will soon be on a new console called the PocketCHIP!

Many games were made by the Lexaloffle and other communities, so when this console is available, there will already be a very huge game library for it. The onl...

How 3D works on the 3DO... ?
For a long time, i was wondering how the heck can you do 3D on the 3DO...Looking at the documentation, everything seemed to imply that the CEL Engine inside the 3DO was 2D hardware, rather than 3D...I saw absolutely no references to it supporting polygons in hardware.At first, i thought that all 3D games were software-rendered but the documentation seems to imply framebuffer access is very slowso it can't be that.Then i saw this video on the Sega Saturn (turn on subtitles, he's taiwanese) :[url=...

For example, the memory controller cannot execute code out of ROM : you must load your game's code in RAM in its entirety.Then there's the unusual way the Atari Jaguar draws graphics : It is not a frame...

That's why I considered switching to a new hack that is now out and stable, and that suits my needs ...

So as some people lurking in IRC already know, I started work on a CHIP-8 emulator a little under a year and a half ago. I just picked it back up a couple days ago, and have made some major progress. It was originally written in C++, and I wanted to first write it for the computer using SDL, and then port it to the Nspire, hence the name "nCHIP-8." The C++ to C conversion was surprisingly easy! I'm not sure I did it the right way, but at least it works. Basically, I put all the data stuff...

The one that DID work, however, had none of them. So, I tried to bring all the typos back. I only have 3 comparison screenshots: 2 pre-level Etch A Sketch texts and "TOY SOTRY". I'm terrible at th...
