Nicely done. I'm not big into platformers (I never did finish SMB-1). However, your game looks very impressive to a non-genre player.

Excellent work!

I doubt that this work work, but what the heck... Can you heat one side of the cart with something "warm", and the other side with something cold (dry ice) (or sandwich the cart between two peltier devices appropriately configured)? Then the plastic might warp (but not break) such that it ...

I'm sorry that I upset you - was not my intent. And yeah, this thread got off topic.

But this thread has piqued my curiosity. I don't have a famicon nor any carts for it, so I've never seen how the carts shell pieces fit together.

Are there no screws?

Actually a Microwave oven uses Microwave radiation to create vibration within the particles. The vibrating particles will result in friction. After that, heat will occur. That's why it cooks your food. Also those things aren't that great anyway. They will cook out some minerals. Cook out the minera...

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=441938 Damn. I didn't think of this first. :( Bregalad, after my post I read the wikipedia article on Microwave ovens. Pretty interesting. Anyway... I did not know that Famicon carts were so different from NES carts, other then the connector pin count....

I guess a Microwave can only melt water, not plasic. Place an object that is exempt of water in a microwave and turn it on should have absolutely no effect on the object. Almost all food contain water, and that's why it works. (Getting way off topic here...) The first two statements are not correct...

The ultimate validation of your game is that your peers purchase a published copy. This is so exciting, and it isn't my game!

+1 on including it.

We get to vote right? Oh wait, in the USA that is tomorrow.

Anyone going to do a tool-assisted speed run? I'd like to see the game played, but I totally suck at these kind of games.

Today it got worse. I bricked the box :( 15 of the patches are kernel modules. "smpatch" won't let you update them unless you are in single user mode. Um, ok, whatever. Single-user mode has no networking component. Well, the ethernet device may or may not be "plumbed" (enabled), ...

We've looked at that before. Our CIO (or VP of IT, or whatever the title is) wants us to wait until Sun releases something "official". Project Nevada I think it is called. We really don't have the time to tear down and rebuild these boxes right now anyway... Just got to keep them patched. ...

I *(&(*@#&(*#&@$&@#(*$&()@#$ hate Slowaris 10. I'm sitting at work trying to install vendor supplied patches. The vendor supplied box only has a 4G "/" slice (think partition for non-traditional unix world). 2.7G are already used. The patch utilities (when they work) ma...

I also very much dislike scale2x. I run fceultra at 4x (windowed, not full screen) with no special graphics filters. Pixels are part of the experience. Enjoy them. Anti-aliasing is for sissies.

I just got back from visiting my in-laws. Her combo unit plays the following SNES just fine: Zelda: ALTOP, Chrono Trigger, Tetris Attack. We didn't try any others. It plays all of her favorite NES games (mostly puzzle games that are probably NROM carts). I did not try any NES games this weekend, and...
