The One Pinned Post:
I do preservation and emulation stuff with obscure retro Nintendo systems like Satellaview and 64DD, I sometimes datamine stuff from Switch games, and I have a thing with mischievous cute wizard-like characters and I ended up making one myself.

Actual Super Mario 64 Hot Takes that I have:
- Sending King Bob-omb off the stage is funny why does it not count as damage
- All Bowser fights suck it's way too hard to aim

By changing only a single byte in the code of Mario Paint, the music composer will not stop at the end of the song and instead continue to play the entire contents of the console's memory as music.

wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

Updated post about the mouse clicks that don't work as we've figured out the exact problem (and that it IS indeed a problem that should be fixed)

Will update the Mouse emulation review as a result as I experimented further, and yeah, this is indeed a huge problem for me if I wanna play relaxed

Yakumono @luigiblood.bsky.social · 1d

Nothing to do with the hack I was talking about, that one with "nintendo-topics"

Else the freakleak hack is something else, but the gigaleak was also a hack that was dated in 2020 by 2 years at that point

Yakumono @luigiblood.bsky.social · 1d

Yep. If you slowly rotate the mouse while making sure you don't move with the mouse optic on the side, the Joy Con 2 won't be recognized as a mouse even though it put down like a mouse. This can be highly problematic if you constantly move the mouse back and forth...

Duck Von @duckvon.bsky.social · 1d

That issue where clicks don't register seems to happen to me specifically when I'm not moving the mouse. When it's moving it always works fine, but when I keep it still it's as if it is no longer being read as a mouse controller.

I can reproduce that problem consistently with that in mind now.

I was warned of a BIOS patch. I was just not aware of how it would reboot like crazy during it, most BIOS patches that I do never go that crazy on me.

I just still wish I was told "hey the PC will turn off and back on again at relatively quick intervals, this is normal"

Some people were also thinking about how emulating a ball mouse would feel differently from an optical mouse but... no, there's not that much difference between them, the main difference is essentially the weight, you can easily use a ball mouse like an optical mouse if you have a proper mouse mat.
