Phantasy Star IV is such a love letter to anyone that was a fan of the first 3 games. It's one of my favorite 16 but RPGs

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!

I've got the Famicom version of this and it's such a shame they never brought it over. It's great!

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.
