It doesn't need another remake.  It has already been done.

Maybe you should learn how the hardware works and how the original games work before promising the moon in new SNES features for your nonexistent homebrew port.

I think Kirk has better things to promise us than his moon.

I think it's pretty obvious that neither one of you have better things to do.

Actually, one of his threads getting locked might get him to fuck off. You'd think with all the stories we've heard about SNESdev, he'd have been banned from there, right?

(the forum - not the Discord where he was banned for threatening suicide and comparing himself to Near because people suggested he learn to program the SNES...).

 

He wasn't banned! Those guys are the most patient people I've ever seen, it's unbelievable. After many months of bullshit, they simply placed some restrictions on his account... and we all know how well Kirk reacts when someone tells him what to do...

 

Except he created an alt account there (SNES AYE):

I'd love to see a SNESified version of it.

You mean 4 objects on screen with slow down? Because that's what you would have gotten back in the day. No need to SNESify a PCE game. SuperGrafx-ify it, since that would offer more than the SNES could.

I mean, totally off on a tangent from the main topic really, but still interesting to think about.

And by "interesting", you mean your attempt at "troll is as troll as does" hahaha.

No actually he did that repeatedly, daily, with his clear reads of blocked users.  He clearly was bending over and waving his moon at us.

Should probably bring that to the attention of the NESDev mods and admins. I'd imagine they'd be able to confirm it with a simple IP check.

There is some construction going on near my workplace. They got some gigantic pile driver pounding the ground and shaking the whole building. It's pretty impressive. That might have been the most massive tool I've ever seen until now. Well played Kirk, well played.

You're still going to bring up the whole "SNES can't handle more than 4 sprites onscreen" nonsense?  I've already debunked that myth a billion times.

There's some pretty severe sprite dropout happening in those videos.

I've known you since you bragged about coming up with a "brand-new" compression scheme all by yourself (i.e. RLE), as DragonBoy. I know you've been so obsessed with this for the past 13 years, but if you take a step back for a minute (and maybe realized who you're actually quoting here).. you'd probably understand that was a "slant" against some of the SNES developers back in the day, not the hardware. Come on, now. It was literally the experience we got back in the day on the SNES. So my mark isn't that far off hahah.

 

 But if you want to get technical with your comparisons here, you're clearly not a profession developer. I've seen snippets of your code. Unless you've miraculously changed, your stuff lacked design, modularization, etc - your stuff is full of literals and hardcoded things instead of standard/professional design (even lacking labels, using direct addresses). You write code like a rom hacker with no background in software engineering, and you've also been working on these same demos for like 10 years. That is NOT representative of a professional development environment or development cycle back in the day. I never once called you out on it, though, because your goal wasn't to be a professional software developer.. it's this obsession of pushing the SNES. And that's fine. Completely fine! But understand there's a difference between pushing the system without care or any sane coding standards, and actually developing code/engine/etc. There's a pretty big difference between hardcoding some literals or fixed code because you have years to spend tweaking it... and actually writing code/design (functions/data structures) that are strongly decoupled and allow pivoting of design during development. That stuff adds overhead, is slower in execution, etc - but with the trade-off that it's more flexible in design and refactoring/reuse (which was way more important to a development company and team back in the day... and still is today!). That's a side that rarely, even in the homebrew scene, that ever gets talked about. When talking about performance, etc - that context is important but is rarely in the discussion. And not once have I've ever seen you acknowledge this. Your focus has always been, performance in the context of "how can I push the system to extremes", and never what performance means in the context and perspective of professional software development BITD.

Okay, okay, okay.  A lot of my ASM code is sloppy and unorganized, and my homebrew game should've been finished a long time ago.  I get it.

I assumed that was referencing how Super Adventure Island 1 and 2 are outperformed by the average NES game (especially Hudson's Adventure Island).

 

If Hudson had entrusted the same people who made those to port NAI it would have turned out worse than Dracula XX.

I'll tell you this, Aaendi, what you have created and are showing for SNES in this SNES sub-forum is a million miles better than anything I've seen from Turboxray on SNES in here thus far, which is literally nothing other than trolling and a lot of negative talk about SNES and a bunch of focus on PC Engine for some reason. And, remember this, real gamers don't get particularly obsessed with what's going on under the hood, but rather what they can actually see and play with their own eyes. There are plenty of great games with less than perfectly written but highly ambitious code holding them up, and plenty of crap games with nigh-perfect code shining in the darkness. And your game and what you are doing on SNES is beyond legit, especially for someone who I think is creating it all themselves. That's what the real SNES fans in this SNES sub-forum should be appreciating, encouraging and celebrating, rather than what we see from some people in here basically trying to diminish and/or personally attacking people who are actually trying to celebrate and support the SNES. So, from me at least, you get major kudos. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing more.
