Hello! April was lazy, so I paused the billing cycle. Nonetheless, I still managed to do some work.
Main releases:
Gran Turismo 2
This month, I released two new small cheats for GT2:
- BGM switch - a cheat adding an option to change the background music during the race by pressing R3, and muting it by holding R3.
- Fixed event generator - a cheat fixing a glitch in the game's random course picker (used for one-make races and Event Generator races) where ...

Hello! This month, just like February, had a few mod releases.
Main releases:
Gran Turismo 2 Combined Disc
A minor update to the Combined Disc has been released. This update improves the setup flow by adding graphical dialogs to select discs and fixes an issue exclusive to the US version of Gran Turismo 2 Plus beta 6.1. If you use that mod with the Combined Disc, re-combine your discs. Old saves remain compatible:

Slightly late this month, but it's here - status update for the last month. In February there finally were some new releases!
Main releases:
Gran Turismo 2 Combined Disc
First, the highlight of this month - Gran Turismo 2 Combined Disc! I already published a detailed writeup of this mod so a TL;DR - GT2 Combined Disc is a modification/script merging Arcade Mode and Simulation Mode discs of Gran Turismo 2, creating a single ultimate version of Gran Turismo 2.
Full a...

Hello! In January I again did not publish any new releases, but I did make numerous miscellaneous contributions here and there.
DuckStation
- rcheevos update - a library DuckStation uses to interface with RetroAchievements was updated with features related to leaderboards I had to hack around previously. With this update, they're now done "by the book".
RPCS3
Hello from 2022! After a very lazy November, December wasn't much better but at least it saw a new (unofficial yet) release - cheat generators for several games from Codemasters.
DuckStation
- UI improvements - another batch of UI changes in DuckStation - making memory card fields not editable and standardizing buttons all over the codebase. Now buttons like Save/Cancel/Close use standar...

Hello! As you might've noticed, I paused billing for this month. I've not released anything noteworthy recently, so payments will resume in January.

Nothing I can show yet, but most of my development time this month went on 2021-12-01 09:19:34 +0000 UTC

Hello! Like last year, October hosts Hacktoberfest - an event encouraging people to contribute to open source projects. I took part in it, so this month's work mostly consists of somewhat random contributions.

Hey! September was somewhat productive, with a big package of Gran Turismo 2 cheats and some emulation fixes. Let's get to it!
DuckStation
Hello! As promised, this month's billing has been paused to make up for the last month where I did not pause in time. This month saw two new releases and many more interesting things that didn't yet get finalized.
DuckStation
- Fix A0, A1, A2, A3 cheats - a fix for a small bug I spotted while working on cheats in DuckStation. If you plan to use my upcoming cheats for PS1 games, please up...

Hello! Apologies for delaying this status update slightly - I was away until yesterday and needed some time to catch up with everything. This status update once again isn't long, with no new mod releases. I was going to pause billing for this month because of that but I missed the time window to do that, therefore I am going to pause billing the next month, regardless of what happens in August.
DuckStation
Hello! This status update is a bit delayed (apologies!) and not very lengthy, but brings a single nice release in form of deinterlacing codes for Gran Turismo 4.
DuckStation
- Hardcore Mode improvements - I spotted a few issues with how DuckStation handles Hardcore Mode, mainly "exploits" allowing the user to load save states even though they should be forbidden in this mode. Submitted fixes for those 2021-07-03 12:40:00 +0000 UTC

Hey there! First of all, I apologize for the delay in publishing this writeup, but I decided to push it back to be able to release YAMP in time for June 1st.
May saw just one new release (not counting YAMP as that technically released this month), but other than that it was rather quiet, so this report will be short.
OpenRCT2
A new addition to the list! OpenRCT2 caught my attention and I randomly contributed to it a bit.

Welcome! According to my GitHub statistics, April wasn't as busy as March but it saw some very interesting developments. My work regarding Virtua Fighter 5 has seen an unprecedented amount of attention on Twitter and gaming websites, so I can't wait to see the reception once my current VF5FS project is released!
That said, let's proceed to the list of things I've done in April. Other than VF5, it's a fairly standard list.

Hello! March was a rather busy month, as I managed to submit plenty of random contributions this time. No new SilentPatches were released, but since I am now playing through Yakuza 6 (and I'm enjoying it) it might change this month.
Without further ado, let's proceed to the list of things I made this month - and, even though it technically didn't happen I want to briefly clarify what exactly happened with Saints Row 2 on April Fools.
DuckStation
Hey! This status update will be quite short, but at the same time, just like I mentioned in the latest update, there have been two new SilentPatches released to the public!
SilentPatch for Yakuza Remastered Collection
Last month, I mentioned that Yakuza Remasters have been released and that I will be looking into them. I ended up releasing two builds of the patch, supporting Yakuza 3, 4, and 5, where I managed to reduce the CPU usage (beyond what QLOC did via an official patch) ...

Hey there! January was a bit slower paced and I haven't had a lot done, but just as I am writing this report things are about to pick up the pace - but more on that at the end.
Cxbx-Reloaded
Hello! 2020 is (thankfully?) behind us, so it's time for a December status report. This month wasn't as productive as the previous ones, but it was time to dial the pace down and rest a bit.
