Last post by fcgamer - October 12, 2025, 09:24:06 amHaving more game options is always better, no one is forcing you to buy anything. If only you were aware of the hack of Pandamar, which is itself a hack of Super Mario Bros. Or some of the silly hardware projects that should be seeing the day of light sometime in the near future.
My personal philosophy is I'd rather see people offer and make their projects available, be it games, hardware, magazines, soundtracks, whatever - and then let the market decide. Obviously, things like Micro Mages and whatever the 2025 equivalent is quickly drift into the top slots of popularity, but can't there be room for the Super Mario Bros. 3s as well as the Lode Runners or the Pac-Lands?
I love you bro and respect your opinion, but I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
Oh, also for the record, a lot of the 2010ish homebrew was utter trash, something even a lot of the earlier developers somewhat admitted.

Every game should be put on a cartridge.
Why? So you can sell it and make a buck?
Get out of here, THE LEGEND OF POO PANTIES THE CAT could be the stupidest thing to get put on a cart I've ever seen.
The tidal wave of garbage homebrews since the dam broke is only offset by the mercifully low amount of people left who shell out cash for nonsense like this.

Famicom / Disk System / New Homebrew Game: The Legend ...
Last post by fcgamer - October 10, 2025, 05:41:18 pmHi everyone, it is with great excitement to let everyone here know that the children's book series, "The Legend of Poo Panties the Cat", is now coming to 8-bit for the first time. The game will feature the titular ginger cat himself, Poo Panties; however, some of his other friends including Hiss the Snake, Baldy the Eagle, and Froggy the Frog are also playable characters.
In addition, about eight or ten other characters from the book series will make an appearance in the game, as both friends and foes.
"The Legend of Poo Panties the Cat" is a platformer game, though it has a variety of gameplay styles. In addition to platforming stages, there are stages where you explore deep underwater depths, take to the skies, collect coins, and even button-mash to win a race - who would have thought?
Anyways, please check this game out and help spread the word - it's appreciated. The Legend of Poo Panties the Cat is a quite cute, kawaii game.

Last post by P - October 05, 2025, 02:20:41 pmThat's too bad, START and SELECT tends to break first in my experience, despite they being the most seldom used buttons. They are probably less resilient because they are missing button caps.

Last post by hippy dave - October 05, 2025, 03:59:43 amYeah I can confirm that the NES d-pad membrane I got from eBay works great in the Hudson controller. The A/B membrane looks like it would be a perfect match to, but as already established the NES Select/Start membrane is different to the Famicom/Hudson one.

Famicom / Disk System / Re: D-pad membranes
Last post by P - October 03, 2025, 03:58:59 pmYeah I think Nintendo used the exact same membranes for NES controllers.
But also many 2-button joypads of the time uses very similar membranes and some are supposedly fully compatible (like Hudson's Joycard). Even Sega's joypads seems to use the same or a very similar size.
Nintendo invented the joypad and dominated the market with it, so I guess it makes sense that everyone copied their design.
