@nivrig @mcmartin Hmm, that's odd- we have pre-built binaries of the whole toolchain (including png2asset) for all three big OS platforms (including ARM64 for Mac & Linux). The same source repo is used for all of them.

@nivrig @mcmartin Hadn't seen this article before, cool!

A couple notes:

I'm not convinced about VSCode as a C editor but the debugging is nice.

Not sure it's mentioned, but the Emulicious debug adapter also works with sublime text. Unsure about any other editors.

GBDK-2020 leans on Windows-only tools for graphics

Wondering if CrossZGB is meant here? For that, gbtd/gbmb are supported, but mainly for legacy reasons and whatever pixel art editor people want use is the recommendation.

@mtthgn@mastodon.social Hmm, not sure since I haven't been on mastodon.social. It might depend on how much you use the local feeds. If not much or at all then it might have a similar feel.

@mtthgn@mastodon.social From what I understand you still can't take your posts with you, but maybe most of the other things do come across. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/ https://erinkissane.com/notes-from-a-mastodon-migration

@KuestenKeks@social.tchncs.de Huh. That or this instance of the mastodon web client is sub-par and doesn't always try to retrieve quoted posts? I can see in the browser request log it's not making an attempt. Not really sure what the spec behavior is supposed to be though.

@KuestenKeks@social.tchncs.de Odd, but I'll take it! (I still can't see it)

Previous post about what QR-Paint is: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@bbbbbr/116083185634410192 (oh mastodon, why won't you quote or embed here?)

bbbbbr @bbbbbr@mastodon.gamedev.place · Mar 10, 2026

New version of QR-Paint with some fun features:

- Draw with #SNES Mouse when plugged into a Super #GameBoy (building on demo by vinheim3)
- Windows XP desktop themed SGB Border
- #MegaDuck build with Printer support

@Shonumi@mastodon.social Thanks! That does seem likely.

@Shonumi@mastodon.social Very cool work! Are the videos prevented from playing due to a technical limitation, some kind of non-tv screen licensing thing, or something else?

Replying to @awilbert@mastodon.social

@awilbert@mastodon.social I'd seen mention they were thinking of doing this. Even just on a technical level it seems like a fools errand, let alone the privacy and lock-in implications.

@Shonumi@mastodon.social It's nice to have that extra room, esp with RAM bloat in many apps now

Replying to @dansup@mastodon.social

@dansup@mastodon.social @aspensmonster@tenforward.social Something to consider: I solved a similar question of how to balance "quality" vs improved discoverability for more obscure entries (in a different domain) by doing:

"featured + ~5% random shuffle/mix chance per entry"

This way there is plenty at the top of what many people may be looking for. Along with giving more obscure entries a better chance at visibility that may just pay off if the right person sees it.
