in case anyone was waiting on an update about the situation, i just got banned from the forum.

so, i guess i can just say it outright: nightcrawler is a coward, and his invocation of Near's death is as tasteless as it is infuriating romhacking.net
Image
nightcrawler's stated expenses for the website, and even the "lower" ones afforded by the migration to s3 ($200/m), make no sense, to me nor anyone else, and the archive's size makes it all the more baffling
as you know, i host the cutting room floor, a site i would argue is considerably larger than RHDN

their archive: ~12GB
ours: 375 GB (and growing)

our costs are a *fraction* of what his supposedly were

a lot of people shit on zsnes for being an inaccurate garbage emulator, but i think its honestly worth pointing out that zsnes was built partly out of assembly and ran back on dos

on my 250mhz pentium ii laptop, it can actually run many snes games at full speed
zsnes also had excellent netplay even in the dialup days, and had very good input lag considering. i still don't know of any emulator that was easier and simpler to set up than it was
its inaccurate and there are exploits, sure, but back then that wasnt a huge deal. the hardware wasnt fully understood and nobody was trying to pwn you with virus.smc when they could just hotlink an image

it was a simpler time, and it was good then. maybe even one of the best

i guess i'll give my opinion on the matter as the person who co-runs tcrf / @CuttingRoomWiki

fake anti-piracy or beta shit isn't a huge deal and i don't think it's affecting the site much at all

if anything it's a funny example of how people on the internet believe anything
one of the rules of tcrf is that anything posted should be findable by anyone else. instructions on finding it, details of where it is, that sort of thing. e.g. "this text can be found halfway through the rom". it might take some skill, but anyone can verify that, for example
we're all guilty of it, but the main takeaway from this is just not to believe everything you read/see immediately. do even a little research. try to find the source or origin of whatever it is

lies go around the world before truth puts its shoes on, etc.

thexder (nes) level format: figured out

2 bits per tile, no compression

enemies are three bytes, Y, X, type

this also reveals all the bullshit hidden bonus enemies (marked with "F" here)
i assume the person who made these maps back in *2005* used something similar, but perhaps didn't know the enemy format or something
notably this map is missing the hidden enemies and their energy bonuses (the numbers indicate where groups of energy-giving enemies are on this)

the arms race continues, i see Image
it's honestly funny to me that twitch, not satisfied with already eating up to 30% of "bits" and half of every sub (or more), continues to try to squeeze any sort of profit they can out of people

they're really intent on fucking *everyone* constantly. the war against their users
since they're nice enough to make it an actual video (they're *real* intent on fucking their users i guess) it also respects quality

so now it's just a huge ugly jpeg that looks like it should be played before a vhs tape Image
