Writing hand-optimized implementations of the C standard library's routines for the Sega #Dreamcast's SH4, because the implementations we get from Newlib are using slow bit arithmetic on a platform with a baller FPU... ain't nobody got time!

Yeah, the Modretro Chromatic may be a cool gadget, but in case you don't know, Modretro's owner is a MAGA Zionist piece of shit. There are plenty of options today (from Analogue Pocket to amazingly modded Game Boys) if you don't want to fund fascism and genocide.

Previews of Virtua Fighter Kids on #Sega #Saturn demo discs are based on prototype builds of the game. @bbayles.bsky.social patched out the demo restrictions and found some cool differences with the final — see what they are in his latest Under the Microscope:

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal)

A game like Picross is such a great fit for the eReader. New puzzles on cards sounds exactly like something Nintendo would have done.
