Definitely worried that this one is a little dense for a second blog post in the series, what with all its ASM unrolling. Overall, though, I'm really proud of how it came out! Hope you enjoy reading it!

Another blog post! This one is a follow up to the previous one on cracking the compression algorithm and covers how we reverse-engineered the custom archives in Chokuretsu. It's a bit longer and denser than the last one, but we hope you enjoy! haroohie.club/blog/2022-11-0
okay, so i'm a few hours into mastodon and i think i can safely say two things 1) despite being a little rough around the edges, mastodon is technologically superior to twitter in most ways 2) no one is on mastodon yet, but also they ban nazis on my server so i'll mark it as a W

Former Bayonetta actress Hellena Taylor, who asked fans to boycott Bayonetta 3 in a video that was later proven to be misleading, has posted a list of charities to which she would like fans to instead donate. The list includes a Kentucky group that runs anti-abortion billboards: twitter.com/hellenataylor/…

accidentally deleted the entire translation database for our project. lol. lmao. (thankfully the translations themselves are safely stored in git, so this just loses us all our comment history and suggestions. tragic but not a death blow)

Today's blog post is the first in a series delving into the ROM hacking challenges we encountered in translating Chokuretsu. This time, we're investigating how we reverse-engineered Chokuretsu's compression algorithm! Please enjoy! haroohie.club/blog/2022-10-1

Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis contains bug reports made during development in its files. Some of the errors are described in a very informal manner, such as "shouldn't be getting this guy" or "Where's Mario???"

Very excited about the breakout board barbeque designed for our Playdia reverse-engineering project. Cross your fingers that we'll be the first people to ever dump one of the two Playdia CPU bioses.

this is exactly the brand i strive for. no one really needs this, yet it was made. this is art for art's sake. i love it.

Esperanto Translation of Super Mario Bros. 2 Added romhacking.net/translations/6 #romhacking
The Mario Party 4 version of the Chance Time event, Reversal of Fortune, does not normally have an explanation screen. However, one still exists in the game's data. The preview reads "NOW PRINTING" and the rules of the game are simply "Mario".

I'm no lib, but Joyce Messier is my favorite character in Disco Elysium. Talking to her is possibly my favorite part of the game.
