BONUS: The Making of the dotnet95 Video (Appendix B)

At long last, here's the behind-the-scenes/second appendix detailing the making of the .NET video. Hope you find it interesting!

Wii U Gamepad Clone - Development Vlog 5

This month was a lot of research and reworking. I think we're getting close to achieving our main goal but there are still some hurdles and uncertainties that we'll have to conquer first.

Forgive the poor microphone quality in this update, I'm currently out of town filming for a different v...

Next Video Update (August 2024)

You guys know that I'm working on an open source clone of the Wii U gamepad, but in the background I've also been working on a handful of other projects that I haven't talked about yet.

This is one of them: the next major video. Yes, it's another monstrosity that'll be somewhere between 40-...

Wii U Gamepad Clone - Development Vlog 4

Vanilla is slowly but surely making the leap to other platforms! It won't be long until we start seeing this on phones and, with any luck, the Nintendo Switch without additional hardware soon.

Hope you enjoy the update!

Wii U Gamepad Development Vlog 3

Hey everyone, so this is a really quick update for you guys. Just wanted to talk about some stuff I've added to Vanilla, a few things I've learned along the way, and a few things I'm thinking of pursuing next. This is a relatively short video, but don't worry, I'll have a lot to talk about in the...

Wii U Gamepad Clone - Development Vlog 2

Progress has been made! You can officially play the Wii U gamepad on a Linux setup easier and better than ever before!

Of course, this is not the end goal of this project, and hopefully we'll be seeing this on phones very soon. However this already opens the door to the Raspberry Pi, Steam ...

BONUS: Revisiting my old studio in my family home

Here's a quick video I filmed while I was in Australia back in March, enjoy!

I'm of course still working on Wii U related shenanigans in the background, and should have another dev vlog for you by the end of next week!

Wii U Gamepad Clone - Development Vlog 1

Let's get started!

I hope you enjoy the first dev vlog. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know in the comments and I'll get to them either as a reply or in the next vlog in a week or two's time. See you soon!

EARLY ACCESS: What am I doing next?

The people have spoken! Thanks to you guys, this is what my next long-term project is going to be.

I am planning to post this video publicly too so I don't simply disappear for a few months again, but all future gamepad-clone-development videos will be Patreon-exclusive (until the project i...

BONUS: dotnet95 Technical Details and Q&A (Appendix A)

This is the first (of hopefully many) Patreon bonus videos I'll be putting out in the near future, here to provide some more technical detail on dotnet95 and answer some of your questions!

Got any questions about dotnet95?

Hey! Thank you guys so much for all of the kind words on the new video (and thanks to everyone who gave me feedback along the way, it really helped!)

I'll be starting work on some bonus Patreon-exclusive "appendices" soon covering both the dotnet95 project and the video itself, and I'd love...

EARLY ACCESS: The final cut (probably) of "I ported THOUSANDS of apps to Windows 95"

Finally, here it is: the finished version of the dotnet95 video! This should be the video that goes out on YouTube, assuming I don't find anything else glaringly wrong with the export.

If you've already watched the prior drafts, there's nothing majorly different about this...

✨ March 2024 Poll: What should my next project be? ✨

As my current video reaches completion, I'm looking at what I should focus my attention on next. I've learned over the past few years that I much prefer doing bigger projects that I can sink my teeth into, and I figure since Patreon is what will allow me to do that, it's only fair that you guys c...

EARLY ACCESS: The second half of "I ported thousands of apps to Windows 95"

This is where you learn the true depths of my insanity - in more ways than one.

Sorry this has taken so very long. I hoped I could get this part finished within one week, but it ended up taking just over three. There are still things I don't think are perfect, but I'm currently visiting fam...

EARLY ACCESS: The first half of "I ported thousands of apps to Windows 95"

That's right, you guys are FINALLY getting a look at the video I've been working on more-or-less nonstop since December! In fact, even now the whole video still isn't completely "done", so this is just the first half; I'll hopefully have the rest ready for you guys next weekend.

There are s...

Early Access: I accidentally bought six Xboxes (MattKC Byte)

So I know you're all still eagerly awaiting the new main channel video, and I promise I'm still working on it as fast as I can, but hopefully here's something that will tide you over. The time I semi-unintentionally bought 6 Xboxes and how it all went.

I can imagine some of you may be think...

New Video Progress Update (February 2024)

tl;dr, still working on it but it's getting there, will post some sneak peeks (screenshots and clips) over the next few days

Well I said the video was on track to be finished by the end of January, and that has turned out to be a FILTHY LIE. It's all taken a lot longer than...

New Video Progress Update (January 2024)

If you're wondering why it's been some time since my last video, well, this is why.

Yes, that's 50 minutes - my longest video yet - and counting; it may get even bigger as it continues to evolve.

I don't usually post about videos-in-progress - I prefer to sur...

EARLY ACCESS: Torturing a Sega 32X for science (and fun!)

You can now emulate the iPod Touch 2G on your PC!

EARLY ACCESS: You can mod your Xbox 360 with just two wires!

BONUS: I set up a meme e-mail service

Some of you may know I'm the owner of some meme domains such as billgates.sex (SFW) and doinyour.mom (kind of NSFW?), and ever since I bought them on my 2023-11-19 10:39:21 +0000 UTC View Post

EARLY ACCESS: So what's up with that LEGO Island pre-alpha?

SNEAK PEEK: I backported .NET to Windows 95

The above image may seem fairly unassuming, but according to Microsoft, what you're seeing is not possible.

Most people today don't have much reason to use or deploy software for Windows 95, but a select handful do. There's a surprising amount of infrastructure that's been ...

EARLY ACCESS: LEGO Island Decomp [Part 2]

BONUS: LEGO Island Scripting via SI Files

Hey everyone! I'm nearly done with the next part of the decomp series, but I thought I'd provide a sneak peek at one of the recent discoveries I made!

There's been some debate over how much LEGO Island's SI files actually control the game, especially since they're in a folder called "Script...
