raocow's talkhaus

17-20 in 2023 depending on Celeste padding, what will this year bring? Jan 9: Super Mario 64 (N64). First time doing 120 star myself. My cousins had the game so I'd play with them. Feb 14: FF6 (SNES). Did basically everything except Siegfried and fixing the cursed shield. Feb 21: Donkey Kong Country...

From what I can tell in videos, Circuit Mode is:

Fun fact: Heavy objects do not actually fall faster than lighter objects in general. There is a specific gravitational constant which determines the acceleration of a falling object, which has nothing to do with the mass or weight of the object - on Earth, this is about 9.8 meters per second per se...

(insert 90's "under construction" gif here) Jan 8 - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (SNES) Feb 11 - Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories (PS1) Another run of YGO:FM somewhere here Apr 1 - Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories - 15 card mod (PS1) Apr 7 - World War Z: Aftermath (XBone) (I guess this is right, I a...

Mega Man X1 has an editor by Xeeynamo which is very Lunar Magic in appearance, but it seems to be little utilized. I've seen SOPHIA use it in the past for a basic graphics and level design hack but no one else. I've downloaded it anyway, I'd love to mess with boss and enemy parameters, JP MM1-6 hac...

Luckily, the power of Six-Axis™®© technology exists, and it is perfect.





(I know they're not exactly the same, but similar)

Okay, time to list like 3 things for the whole year. Mario Bros 3 (NES Classic) - Jan 13: Not much explanation needed. Outside of Gradius and GnG, this was the last NES Classic game with an ending that I hadn't beat (to my knowledge). I've beaten the Marios before, but my goal was to get a snapshot ...

That sounds terrible, but in an awesome way. Maybe the most awesome way? Since we are going a little off-book anyway, we could then call them hacks and open it up to 1-3 levels (with a "reasonable to complete everything in about 20 minutes" clause). We would have to put a 3 in the title so...

Just speculating because I haven't played smoo hacks in about a decade: For the half-pipe, it looks like it might have been a timing challenge. There were times where the player could wait instead of going down right away, which meant they wouldn't come up straight into pokey. Based on the way pokey...

I'm playing through Final Fantasy (NES) for the first time. I made the mistake of choosing a pretty bad team from the manual (2x black belt, 1x white mage, 1x black mage), but that just means I am grinding a little more. I just cleared Gurgu Volcano in quite a unique fashion... I used up all my wm l...

It could also be 50k (and they value makes more sense), but I would have expected the range to be 0-23 in that case (or if it was a pulldown, but then 1000 would be unpressed and 1023 pressed). ah we used to have vcc/ground swapped because we went through a lot of iterations of testing, but the fin...

Thanks for the response! When I was reading the write-up on your site I was wondering why you didn't have a pull-up, but then you mentioned the issue solved with one. I wonder what the internal pull-up is on the Teensy since you were reading ~3.23V (3.3*1000/1023) on the pin even with the sensor fu...

it's just for PC but tbh the electronics could be upgraded to support other stuff : P (https://rena.talkhaus.com/blog/2021-07-18-ddr-pad.html if you haven't seen it). currently tidying up the wiring and waiting for parts for the next one to come so we can do doubles/versus I hadn't seen that, thank...

(DDR pad) Neat! Is this for PC or console? I need to get back into doing hardware projects. All I've done since university is replaced the laser in a PS2 a couple days ago. it's just for PC but tbh the electronics could be upgraded to support other stuff : P (https://rena.talkhaus.com/blog/2021-07-...

Looking at the shoutbox archive on mobile, I see this odd usergroup at the bottom of the page (sweepstakers). When I check it out, it says that it doesn't exist. Is this an issue?

It would be interesting to know what they are up to, but then again I haven't interacted with them in almost 10 years so :shrug:. Same with the other early IRC/forum peeps whose names I don't remember.

Is the IRC still a thing? Not that I'd join at this point, just curious.

RE: SMWCP I vaguely remember that there was tension between talkhaus and SMWC during these times. There were a variety of reasons, but for the purposes of comparing ASMT and SMWCP we can focus on their "standards" (I know user reviews aren't the same as a hack getting removed, but I don't ...

i miss wareng and oc so fucking much dude

In case it wasn't clear, that wasn't meant to be mean - it's an old mafia meme (like "wanna be b**** some more trick").

The ASMT replay kinda makes me want a talkhaustolgia thread so I can talk about how cool things were 10 years ago and then everybody else reading it can be like "That actually sounds awful" or "I wasn't even born yet" Also considering joining discordhaus just to idle but last ti...

EDIT: Oysterlish for YK. Considering how bad i am at translating these, it should be hilarious A switch that is jumping (TL note: i actually went with a term that also meant flying on purpose since, that's what yoshi does in the level but. small victories :) ) Go! Back! Go! Wait, there is actually ...

If I remember right, that was true back then too...

Looking forward to this LP. RIP duck.

One more week of break. So far all I've done is 100% the first three Ratchet and Clank games (well, finished the 100% of UYA that I started last break) and went through Deadlocked on Gladiator difficulty. I'm planning on going through on the lowest difficulty (for skill points) then Exterminator to ...

I donated $25 during the Megaman block because I like that NES. I've been watching GDQs for a while now and I've never donated, so I felt like I had to now. And speaking of Megaman... Are runners allowed to bring their own TVs, their on-site practice TV, or use their run TV beforehand to make sure i...

My only shiny (not counting certain always-shiny Pokemon like Red Gyarados or that that black Haxorus) was a Misdreavus in Crystal. My luck is elsewhere - I got wild Pokerus in Black and Black 2.
