Here's an interview with Lloyd, aka Infidelity. It was really cool getting to talk to him about all of his projects, from Legend Of Link to his NES to SNES ports! Just search any app for "RetroRGB Infidelity", or head to the main post here: https://retrorgb.com/interview-with-infidelity.html

As always, all my NES to SNES ports are open source.
The last step after every port is cleaning it up, and backporting improvements to my template. There were over 750 builds to get this port out. And a LOT of things learned and improved along the way.

Huge shoutouts to Bizqwit for original NES hack, it make this game so much more polished and approachable.

A full end to end play-through of my Castlevania II SNES port! Final testing is happening now, and barring any major issues I should be releasing it soon!

@displacedgamers.bsky.social - you might appreciate this. This is the unmodified NES Castlevania II game, bankswitching 108 times in one frame. Maybe if you get a free weekend you can tell me why in the world it does this.

This one has been a labor of love. It's close!
Castlevania II Simon's Quest is the next NEXT game to get the SNES upgrade!

@firebrandx.bsky.social any chance you're doing a clean audio rip of Castlevania II anytime soon? I'd love to include it as an MSU1 option in my port.

The retro community is awesome, so many great projects!

Just finished a full playthrough of my Castlevania II SNES port with no major issues. Next up is adding in support for MSU-1 / palette choices / etc!

I've just put the last finishing touches on a Beta version of Castlevania II for the SNES. A big part of the last couple weeks were getting this intro scene from the Enhanced Romhack working on the SNES:

Wake up honey, new Displaced Gamers video just dropped!
Ridley, Kraid, and Mother Brain Life Support slow down! But why?

Let's do a performance dive to answer this question and also find out why scrolling seems to lag when Samus is flipping through the air... but in reality does not!

Another post on Castlevania II Progress!

I'm in the middle of tackling attributes, which control the palettes the BG tiles use. It's one of the more complicated undertakings in the ports, but it's coming along nicely! Here's a couple minutes of footage of the beginning of the game.

@retro-access.com Is there something about retro-access.com/product/gen1... that makes it incompatible with a SMS? Or would it just have the 3.5mm jack hanging around but still work?

Ok, maybe someone knows more about this than me. But why does Castlevania II on the FDS have so much English text? The prologue and the ending are both entirely in English. Is that not odd? Did Japanese children know enough English to read this?

The rest of the game is all in Japanese.

I've been playing through my FDS version of Castlevania II, and the music is just a joy (apologies for the 10s of FDS loading at the beginning)

Completed a full playthrough on my Castlevania II port. This is a good milestone, it means the game logic is solid. The only issues I encountered were either related to the romhack enhancements, or things I know I haven't done yet (like music/palettes/bank switching)

Met so many great people, had a fantastic panel, and reconnected with some of the best people in the retro community at Retro World Expo and Nes Fest. The best retro con I've attended, I can't recommend it enough!

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.

Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.
To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.
