What the heck is the Game.com? Never heard of it, though interesting it came out around gamegear/gameboy color times. What kinda games did it have? I legit wanna know more about it lol
A video or link to something is also way more than sufficient.

Terrible games tend to attract wide coverage. While it is not an especially Googlable name, there is an abundance of videos and articles, especially since the system became emulated.

(It would be kind of interesting to know more about how emulation happened, come to think of it. It took a surprisingly long amount of time. I have some vague impression that the earliest emulator in wide availability was a leaked devkit.)

I'll try googling, then. Still, pretty cool to know it was one of those things that was just trying to appeal to a super wide audience.

Yeah, I would also like to know how it happened.

I've tried bruteforcing the instruction set by matching known instruction patterns compared to other systems, but I only got 9 instructions right out of 25 I found before giving up, and took me an absurd amount of time for a poultry amount of code to be scanned this way.

There is no known leaked SHARP manual either that documents the instruction set, so...

In my case I've switched focus to attacking the leaked SM85ASM.EXE to reveal its secrets, and even that is proving difficult due to quite a lot of instructions not being used in commercial games. There is either a bug in my code analyzer, or they indeed don't use quite a lof of instructions and addressing modes... probably both.

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
