Here's a neat tidbit we found last night:

Each course in Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat (Arcade) has artist credits somewhere on it! Most of these are signed by "SH" (Steve High, credited for Software & Graphics), but a few have other initials on them, including one course which has a completely different style and signature.

I've put up an imgur gallery with all 14 courses and which are signed by which artist here! https://imgur.com/a/xNErJIJ

Also, the timer has some ... interesting problems...

A weird bug in Super Off-Road for NES:

For one frame, when you touch the finish line on the final lap, sprite memory is overwritten with garbage. No idea why!

Today I made: gloopy pasta with leftover chicken! (or, Raspberry throws a bunch of things in a pot and sees how they turn out. ^.^;;)

It tastes much better than it probably looks!

I love that the default Emacs scratch buffer text got into Mario Golf (GBC) somehow. I wonder if this was a mis-copy-and-paste from a developer, or if it was another case of a compiler taking random memory contents and using them for padding in the ROM...

Oh no... I isolated what is wrong here, and I am not happy at all...

It's another instance of this game always expecting its text to be in a very specific bank. It never, ever updates what bank it searches for dialog boxes in, only what address within that bank is being currently used.

That causes problems like this, where another function is looking for where it should draw (or, in this case, clear) a dialog box, but it runs off into who-knows-where and trashes memory...

And some other things, well... ... ... >.>;;;;;;;;

I still have lots of work left, I guess...

Some things are still kind of broken, though... ^^;;;;

Well... I have some things working that weren't before, now! ^w^ Almost all menu dialogue has been formatted and inserted, and things look pretty good!

Then, calmly, everything returned to normal, almost like nothing out of the ordinary had ever happened.

It was as if all of Itadaki Street was screaming in unison, in horror of what had happened to their game.

Yep, there's our culprit, just like I thought. That "func_SearchDialogDefinitionForA" call ends up going off into outer space instead of where it should be looking.

Hopefully copying and modifying this function won't be too hard...?

Hmmm.... That's better, but... if what's causing this problem is what I think it is, I'll be very, very annoyed...
