Hey there! November has come to a close and with it another chunk of work. Yet again I kept myself busy mostly with Cxbx-Reloaded and, although not as much commit-wise, I contributed some really exciting improvements.
On the surface, it might seem like I didn't contribute as mu...
2020-12-01 18:53:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey there! This progress report is going to be rather short, but it doesn't mean I was lazying all month. Quite the opposite - I was mostly contributing to Cxbx-Reloaded and managed to do so much it would not be possible to list everything in this report!
So, let's get to it.
Honestly, until last month I didn't care much about Xbox emulation. I knew that it's there, it's progressively getting better, and the team has been making rather good p...

September was again a month full of emulation and experimentation with console games modding!
This month, I submitted too many little pull requests to DuckStation to mention them all (the link takes to a list of all my PRs from September), so I'll only mention the most im...
2020-10-02 22:20:28 +0000 UTC View PostAugust has been pretty unfruitful, but that was to be expected due to my planned holiday I mentioned in the last Status Update. Therefore I am pausing my Patreon for September. I feel like I have not done "enough" to warrant billing patrons for, so we're skipping this month.
This month, there has been no new releases - however, I again contributed a bit to emulators, however only DuckStation received "serious" code contributions.
First of all, ...

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some good news. Everyone in the UK, EU and U.S. can now pledge my Patreon in their local currency of Euros (€), British Pounds (£) or U.S. Dollars ($). This will help prevent you paying extra conversion fees from your bank or card when pledging in a currency that’s not your own.
Any new visitors to my page will see my tiers priced in their local currency of €, £, or $. For those of you who would like to switch your preferre...
2020-08-10 09:38:51 +0000 UTC View PostAs July comes to a close, Patreon has been unpaused. This month still hasn't been very active, but this time I got a few things done:
A highlight of this month - together with Rafael Rivera we've released SilentPatch for Mass Effect fixing graphical artifacts on AMD CPUs. It was an amazingly interesting issue and the blog post has g...
2020-08-01 11:58:09 +0000 UTC View PostHey! This status update will be very brief.
As you may have noticed, June has been very quiet. I feel like it doesn't make sense to charge Patrons during such periods of inactivity, so I paused my Patreon for this month, which means you will not be charged for July at all. Whether I unpause Patreon for August or keep it paused depends on what happens this month.
Nevertheless, I did something so let's recap:
A word of warning - turns out, Patreon's post formatting options are severely limited. Because of this, things like code snippets will look very awkward. Check back on Saturday for a post on my blog for properly formatted code.
Today, I am looking into a niche Polish game – Kao: Mystery of Volcano, a third installment in the Kao series. Since Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 is currently 2020-06-10 18:52:34 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey there! It's time for a recap of all the things I've done in May. The initial goal outlined in the last status update was to tidy up the remaining issues in recently released SilentPatches, and well... it didn't work out due to unexpected "events" throughout the month =)
This month saw improvements to DXHRDC-GFX as well as two new, totally unplanned SilentPatches.
Last month, I promised to hotfix 2020-05-31 15:24:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey there!
As we're in mid-May, it's time for a new SilentPatch! What's unique about this release is that this is the first SilentPatch to be released before the game launches!
As usual, I published a blog post detailing my research and the thought process. You can read it on my blog:

Hey, Silent there! May has begun, and so it's time for the very first monthly status update from me. I initially hadn't planned on writing those but decided to give it a shot since sometimes I get a lot of work done and having an easily accessible summary of it might be a good idea. Since this is the first status update, feedback is very much appreciated!
Here's a list of things I've done during the last month. It might not cover absolutely everything, but I am certain I included anythi...

A blog post detailing the process of researching, and later implementing DXHR style post-processing in the Director's Cut. If you liked the gold filter, now it's back!

2020-04-26 17:05:29 +0000 UTC View PostHey there! Welcome on my newly created Patreon page.
What can I say? I've just released SilentPatch for Scarface (which you've probably seen if you landed on this page):

What will the future bring? I have a few things planned already, so it won't take long before you see something new from me!
For now...
