Special patreon treat!

Hello all! Its been a while, I know. A lot has been happening with me, work got very stressful (which has eased up), and just a lot going on with famidash.

I do have a treat for you all though, here is a special version of Famidash that was commissioned to be put into a steam game. This is our current build, with all 11 music tracks in (check bgm test)! There are only a few fully working levels...hit select on the level select screen to turn on "hard" mode and the first few level...

Famidash - Current State

Hello everyone! I want to start by, as always, thanking you all for your generocity!! You guys seriously keep me going every day...just knowing you all are supporting me in whatever I do is just an amazing feeling, and I hope I keep doing you all proud.

Some fastroms will be getting an update this upcoming week. Again, thakn you for your patience.

As for famidash, our engine is seriously a beast. In fact, we now have our first DEMON level working in-game! And its beatable! I have ...

Technical Aspects into Famidash

Happy Friday!

A lot of work has been going on behind the scenes in Famidash. I wanted to spend some time today to explain how we got more room for sprites.

This is the tile viewer. At the top half you will see all of the background tiles used.

When changing the viewing type to OAM, you can then plainly see the sprites on the bottom half:

Friday check-in

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd catch you all up on the news of my projects and the like!

Famidash - We have 11 fully working levels and 1 WIP level! We are currently in the process of adding animations to the orbs, while Alex is working on getting a full 360degree cube rotation (with sidewalks/upside down walking) which will give way to icon kits!

Thats right, soon you'll be able to choose from a range of icons!

We have also started to discuss a kickstarter for the project...

Still here, just an update

Good morning everyone, you might have noticed I missed another fastrom friday. I am just so sorry, I actually currently have Chuck Rock halfway through the disassembly process but I am honestly feeling that my efforts have been completely focused on Famidash lately.

I feel as though I'm letting you guys down, and I completely understand if you decide to lower or cancel your subscriptions for now.

I will always be looking for exclusive things to share with you all, and I will conti...

No new fastrom this week

I do apologize everyone, I've just been working overtime on Famidash and honestly I'm just feeling overwhelmed and need a bit of a break.

Won't be long, I'll try to get out 2 conversions for next Friday.

Thank you all so much for your support and understanding, and I'll make it up to you!

Famidash - Demo 4 (Debug Build)

Hello all! For the past few weeks I've been trying to resurrect and complete Famidash after the original developer disappeared.

Well, together with some coders and testers and level builders, we have a full demo!

For my patrons, I provide the debug build: you can press B at any time to reverse gravity, and you can press SELECT to disable death and show a performance profiler.

Hope you enjoy!

-hold A+B and press SELECT to clear coin counts from SRAM

Space Megaforce (U) - Fastrom

The USA version of Super Aleste, this finally has a USA fastrom. Noting some problems in the conversion process and recalling other people with issues with Super Aleste fastrom, I have made doubly sure this is working smoothly and expect to return to Super Aleste soon for an update.

Enjoy this great vertical shoot-em-up!

Will release for all users 4/12/24!

Super Valis IV (USA) - Fastrom

This one was a doozy to convert! I knew it was going to be tricky when there were only 20 PLB's and some MVN's...turned out not only did it use JML.W but it also had a JML.W IN RAM. yikes.

Well enjoy this fun side scroller with fastrom! Less lag, more fun!

Wolfchild (USA) - Fastrom

Here's a game I had no idea existed! A nice 5 stage platformer.

Enjoy with fastrom!

Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! Snes Port - kando's patches

Good morning all!
Infidelity has released an amazing SNES port of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, and I've gone ahead and made a few fun patches!

A button super punches - remaps the super punches to A instead of START

Infinite Stars - always have 3 super punches!

Infinite Combo - the opponent, when knocked dizzy for a combo, will never recover

Superfast Punches - there is no longer a delay between punches for the player, allowing you to hit as fast as you want, including wh...

Star Fox - 60fps stuff

I've been playing with 60fps starfox stuff again, and had the idea to shrink the screen to allow it to run on hardware and with no overclocking.

Here are a few tests I've done, apply to Starfox Rev 2 (no-intro).

Will update as I make new builds!

12:28pm est: added 30fps no crashy build

Enjoy another game that really, really needed fastrom!

Star Fox - Boss Test A

So I've been working on this for about 11 days and finally have a working alpha.

This is a creepypasta experience, as a tribute to Starfox.EXE and as a way for me to stretch my fingers again in the starfox modding world.

Apply to Starfox (USA) (Rev 2)

The official release will go something like this:

Hi guys this is a test for a new boss I coded, I'm very new at this hacking stuff and would appreciate any testing I can get. 

The game can get glitchy since I'...

Musya - The Classic Japanese Tale of Horror (USA) - Fastrom

A very interesting platformer! This has some puzzle elements as well, a few powerups, and jumping reminiscent of Super Ghouls and Ghosts. Eventually you realize you can hold up to jump higher and then you finish the game.

Enjoy with fastrom! This game feels 1000% faster with it!!
