Today has been one hell of a long haul.

My plan for this week was mostly to fix all the issues that people had with the first test release on 3DS.

Today I was reminded of the classic Amiga puzzler "Pushover".

After each week's release, I'm literally bombarded by player's thoughts and comments. Let's take a look at what RSKGames thinks of this week's game. You can Download Bungee Stars here.

@RSKGames

Not much was revealed about this week's game "Bungee Stars", so it was a pleasant surprise to play this fun little game.

Over the next few days, I hope to fix up a few of the flaws in the 3DS Framework, but otherwise I'm fairly happy with the way it's worked out. Having said that, there's been absolutely no feedback whatsoever over the past few hours, so I have no idea if it's working for others or not. Ho hum..

I promised over on the GBAtemp forum that today would be the day for the first 3DS Homebrew test release, with or without working music. Unfortunately, it's without working music 39)( But it does contain biscuits, so that's ok! If you head over to the Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit page, you'll find a lovely little .3dsx download button. Mmmm..

Dive for the Stars

Here's how yesterday went. 1. Create the logo, do the screenshots, prepare the assets. 2. Compile the Windows version. 3. Test the 3DS edition. 4. Tweak the 3DS edition. 5. More 3DS tweaking. ... 2184. Extra 3DS tweaking. 2185. Realise there's no time to post the actual game.

Today *should* be about finishing things off, on this week's game.

Well, that kinda works..

Whilst trying to help rearrange the shed, the past few days have been rather lacklustre in the coding department.

Getting some really unexpected number issues that I'm fairly sure I shouldn't be having!

@RSKgames asks "Why not take the plunge into the Switch Devkit."

Looks like the Switch's Homebrew doors are currently being blown wide open.

Tonight I started a new project. #559 - Topsplodings And that's as far as I got.

I've now tried a multitude of different methods to get Audio working on my 3DS Homebrew Framework, but so far absolutely nothing seems to be working.

After each game's release, I get a huge influx of opinions and thoughts from a variety of different people. Let's look at RSKGame's thoughts for this week's game! You can Download Micro Clampett here.

@RSKGames

I remember playing Mini Clampett last year. It is a very addictive game and as it was the first game to get the online scoreboard feature, lot of competition was there to get the highscores. I tried the hard mode today and got nowhere near top 5 highscores, the huge...

My adventures into 3DS Audio are looking a little bit closer.

Clampett's returned in this odd little platforming game.

Back to my usual "End of Project" duties, today.

Game #558 is coming along rather well, and is mostly "complete" on the PC side of things. The 3DS version is still all kinds of quirky, though, with issues such as the level generator taking WAY too long on the hardware. Again, something that the emulator has no trouble at all with, but that the hardware itself struggles to do. I'm going to have to chop up the generator and build the level up over multiple frames, instead of clogging up the entire system for the duration. Other than that, though...

OK, I really need to stop working on the 3DS stuff, and get this week's Clampett game done.

I tried out Flappadiddle again, today, and it was very very broken!!

128Mb Ram.. That's what the specs on Wiki says that the 3DS should have. But all these complications I'm having.. The whole thing seems to be tripping up on pretty much anything I throw at it.

Spent most of this morning working on Error Messages.

Whilst working on this week's game, I'm constantly testing it on the 3DS to ensure everything's working correctly.

Turns out, the memory was perfectly fine!
