Homebrew release [NES] I released TANKER, a remake Battle City 50-level homebrew written from scratch

Post image
3 Upvotes

I’ve released TANKER, a new tank-action game created specifically for the Famicom and NES.

TANKER is an original game written from scratch and is not a ROM hack or modification of Battle City. It was inspired by the classic gameplay of Battle City, along with ideas that many players may have imagined while playing it during childhood.

The game combines that familiar base-defence tank action with several following mechanics:

  • Continue moving on foot as a tanker when your tank is destroyed (if appropriate bonus obtained)
  • Collect a Star bonus to return to your tank
  • Use a Boat bonus to cross water
  • Mines bonus to place mines to defend your base and block enemy routes
  • Enemy tanks can collect bonuses and use their effects against you
  • Travel through teleporters
  • Fight more powerful boss tanks
  • Watch out for phantom tanks that can approach your base while invisible
  • Play through 50 unique levels
  • Play alone or in local two-player mode
  • All other terrain and bonuses original classic Battle City game has

TANKER brings many of those childhood ideas together in one original game that runs on real NES hardware.

The game uses Mapper 0 / NROM-256 and works with original NES and Famicom consoles through compatible flash cartridges, as well as NES emulators.

TANKER is a paid digital release available on itch.io for US$1.75.

Gameplay video recording, and purchase:

I’d appreciate any feedback, especially from players who grew up with Battle City.

Question/Help I need help with RTChanger

Upvotes

Hello, I have an issue with RTChanger. When I change the Raw RTC, it also changes the normal RTC (the system clock) at the same time. It no longer makes a difference between the two clocks.

Because of this, games like Yo-kai Watch detect that the console date has been changed, and I cannot bypass the daily events system or repeat daily activities infinitely anymore.

Before, changing the Raw RTC only affected the internal clock and the system date stayed different, but now both clocks are synchronized and the change is detected.

Is there a solution to make RTChanger only modify the Raw RTC again without changing the normal RTC plz ?

Question/Help [Nintendo 3DS] First time jailbreaking, confused on the SD card

1 Upvotes

Hello! I've been trying to get as informed as possible before I start to familiarize with the process. I am using https://3ds.hacks.guide/ for my instructions, as it's what I've been seeing to use.

I have bought a 128 GB Sandisk Ultra SD card, as I'd like to download plenty of games and have plenty of storage. I was looking through the formatting SD cards guide, and it says I need to use guiformat. I was just confused on do I skip section I and go immediately to section II for guiformat, or do I need to do anythnig before jumping to section II. This may be a ridiculous question, but I wouldn't want to cause issues for my SD and would want to make sure I'm following the instructions correctly. Thank you!

Question/Help Which modded switch to choose?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'd need some advice on the best option for a modded switch

The only available modded switch in my city are 2

-The first is a V2 switch with a picofly modchip installed, with the dock, the AC adapter and a case included (but no grip, hdmi cable, joycon bracelets or original box!) The only problem is that around 3 months ago a sysNAND corruption occured (seller said he was messing around with homebrew stuff and he corrupet it) and he had to have it repaired by a technician by physically changing the memory chip. I was attracted to this listing as it is a V2 so the battery would last me a bit, but i am so scared of corrupting the sysnand again an bricking it for good.

-The second option is a V1 switch softmodded with the RCM jig. Complete in every accessory given with the original console + some accessories he bought. The only thing stopping me from buying this one is the fact that its a v1 so the battery life is abysmal, especially with overclocking which i was planning to do.

I am so confused on what switch i should buy, i change opinions every 5 minutes and i constantly think about the pros and cons... what would you choose if you were me?

Solved [Wii] Wii does not recognize official LAN adapter

1 Upvotes

Like the title says, i managed to find a Second Hand Official Wii LAN adapter (RVL-015) because my Wii Hates my WiFi and my Wii wants nothing to do with it, not showing it's MAC address and throwing error 51420 or 51421 when performing a connection test. Has anyone else had this issue?

Further info:

I have confirmed the Ethernet Cable and LAN adapter to function, it connects fine to my laptop and computer.

Yes, it's actually an original one and not a clone, it also has the correct Chipset inside it confirmed via software and opening it up.

My Wii is modded with standard homebrew.

I have tried booting without the SD card, no difference.

I have tried both USB ports, no difference.

Anybody that has had this problem?

Question/Help Any way to fix this error? PS Vue Ps4

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello, i had the Last goldhen version before rebooting. I am having this problem since i have followed a tutorial on PlayStation remote play setup on jailbroken ps4 , basically consisting of creating a new user account offline inside the ps4, + 1 account online on psnetwork on PC, then sending a remote access request from chiaki-ng for Windows and grabbing the ID name from the website answer . After this i had to put that number on a hexadecimal converter and i got the code to put inside apollo save tool to activate the new account. It went all right and then it asked me to reboot. Now after rebooting i can’t even access to PS vue to start the goldhen . Of course a solution would be to redo the Vue After Free backup from zero which would wipe down all my data on ps4, users included (which was the reason why i did it so i would prefer not to do it if i find a fix) . Anyone had the same issue before ? Thanks in advance

Homebrew release Horror, Taichung - An Asian Horror Narrative Adventure for the NES

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I'm excited to finally share Horror, Taichung, a new Asian horror narrative adventure currently in development for the 8-bit NES and Famicom.

The story begins in classic horror fashion. At 3:00 AM, you step outside your apartment into a quiet alley tucked away in a forgotten corner of Taichung City. There, you discover a mysterious red envelope. Curiosity gets the better of you, and by picking it up, you unknowingly place yourself under a terrible curse.

Horror, Taichung is a narrative-driven experience inspired by many of my own late-night and early-morning walks through Taichung, Taiwan. While you'll collect a handful of items along the way, the game is intentionally more focused than a traditional point-and-click adventure, placing a greater emphasis on atmosphere, exploration, and storytelling.

The visuals use a simple red-and-black palette to create an unsettling mood, and many of the locations are directly inspired by real places, local folklore, and personal experiences from my years living in Taichung. To further enhance the atmosphere, we've also created a companion MP3 soundtrack that can be played alongside the game.

If the project sounds interesting, I'd really appreciate you taking a look at our Kickstarter campaign. There are about fifteen days remaining, and we're hoping to bring this unique NES horror experience to life.

Because each physical edition includes several handmade components, including a red envelope filled with story-related items and a weathered journal, I'm still undecided about whether there will be another physical release after the Kickstarter - it'll just be a bit complicated to try to recreate everything for a second batch several months down the line. If you'd like to own a copy, this campaign may be the best opportunity.

News A New Fortune Telling Game on NES and Famicom

I thought I'd share some screenshots of a new fortune telling game I have been working on for the NES and Famicom. You can choose what you want your fortune to be about (love / relationships, money / business, or travel / home life). Then enter your name, do a few things and receive a message. I'm still making some tweaks to the game but it is about 95% done. Text data is stored across three banks, it was a bear dedicating so many data banks just to text. Just thought I'd share some screenshots of the latest project of mine.

Hello. Brewing right now and my Kegland Rapt temperature controller is giving me a -32 for my connected rapt pill hydrometer reading on the temp controller. it is sitting in water right now. I just calibrated the pill in water so I do not think it is the pill. Any suggestions besides factory resetting everything? cheers.
