Home Alone FAQ |
12/29/2020 |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Well, through an unfortunate circumstance I found myself playing Home Alone. In the process of playing it I discovered that the existing FAQ was missing a fair amount of
information, which in turn meant I had to write a new, more-complete FAQ for it.
so without further ado, here is the new Home Alone FAQ. I also added a copy to the Home Alone page. Thankfully I never have to play this AWFUL game again.

Some interesting Emulator news, from Zophar's domain regarding Mednafen 1.26.0. From ZD:
"Mednafen is a portable, utilizing OpenGL and SDL, argument(command-line)-driven multi-system emulator. Mednafen has the ability to remap hotkey functions and virtual system inputs to a keyboard, a joystick, or both simultaneously.
And yes, support for the NES!

Welp, I sat down with hopes of capturing some of the past updates for the site from 2018 in the past site updates section but turns out I didn't actually update the site in 2018. Sooooo there goes that plan.

One of the things I need to do for the site, as far as housekeeping is involved, is remove some dead links from NES sites that have disappeared. Along them, some that I didn't realize
had left us too early: NES Mods, NES Bit, and one of my favorite-named NES sites of all time, Pimp My Nintendo. RIP.

Links Work |
10/7/2020 |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Having recently gotten back into the swing of updating this site near-daily, I realize some work needs to be done to remove potentially outdated info.
Chief among those is updating the Links section, which appears to currently have links to several dead sites. RIP, Pimp my Nintendo, we hardly knew ye.

If you hang around NES fans long enough, well, my first piece of advice would be to find some different folks to pass your time with. But if you can't abide that advice you eventually will hear them lament the insane prices of NES merchandise. And with that in mind, I bring you:

Archived Updates |
8/28/2020 |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
I had mentioned this in the past, but as I've recently been more likely to post updates about NES news I realized it'd be good to start saving these updates somewhere for posterity's sake. I figured that six months at a time would be a-plenty, and since we're over halfway through
2020 (side note: THANK GOD) now would be as good a time as any to start work on this.
This seemed best suited to the Misc section, so if you cruise over there you'll now see a section for old updates, starting with the first half of 2020.
Also, since those updates have now been archived to this brand spankin' new section I've removed them off the front page to clear up some clutter. Enjoy!

Lego NES |

|
|

The previously-reported Lego NES seems to be swallowing up most of the NES news as of late. This is fine, since it's freakin' awesome and all, but there isn't much other news out there.
So, with that in mind, why don't you watch someone put one together.

Battletoads - Legacy Cartridge Collection |
8/20/2020 |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
So I guess these Battletoads - Legacy Cartridge Collection carts are a thing.
I personally find it a little offensive that these folks are selling $2 of plastic for $99 but I guess it's still good to see something novel re: the NES.

Odds and Ends |
8/19/2020 |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
At some point in the past NES HQ had a section dedicated to old updates. I figured this was a good part of the site to have less for site-specific updates and more for information and news on the NES from external sources. Anyway, I was going to archive
some of the 2020 updates to-date but can't find where I used to stash these, so I'll leave them for now.
Also today I noticed that the old site statistics are now password protected. I don't think anyone *ever* looks at those but making a mental note to see about removing the password from there.
That's it for tonight, nothing too exciting.
