20241206 :
DOOM has descended on the realm ... the shoddy power button on the mister has entered the realm of semi-consciousness and no matter what refugee-camp solution applied it keeps forcing its own will, preferably right before i take the second factory on mission 5 in Cronos. As life has it we dont have anything but refugee-camp solutions at hand and money is shorter than ideas and stuff to want and have , the mister is sadly not the absolute number one on the list so it might stay a while, meaning we are limited to play all 620000 (unsorted) roms on software emulators or the real c64 or real Atari ST as i dont wanna damage the thing by keeping it half powered with what might be a spark-cinema projector inside until i can at least open it up properly and see if i can remove the thing to hotwire it (like at least half the non retro machines in the house) instead of using the fancy powerbutton for rich kids and americans who live in disneyland ... until then, obviously its gonna be kinda hard to check wether new releases are MisterCompat or not ... dja
20241203 : heres kinda hoping some alien mindhive coder like Haplo makes a port of Felvidek that runs on ao486 as hdf or psx (i assume the NES or gameboy would have a hard time with some parts). It certainly looks like a nice change of pace
20241202 : a.i. generated retro games .. the signs of the impending apocalypse are growing more and more clear
20241130 : they ran my batteries so dry i fear we are bedridden until march. Twas to be expected around this period some major neo-retro gudness was to appear ... You know .. if the money is the premise then the product is a product but if the premise is gud game theres nothing wrong with being paid ... even if its a weekend in a holiday resort, a stash of beermoney or something for the kids ... (probably wont be a ferrari if you do bedroom retro coding) ... just aks and look at haplo and psytronik, they're moneymakers, right, they do gud game but they know salesforce, right , i doubt they made a loss in the last years on any prod heh ... i doubt they live in belgium too . ANYWAY .. is there more gudies around the corner, not just in 64land, speccyland going toe-to toe ?? amigaland was to be expected too, DOES ANYONE HAVE A LITTLE GEM FOR MY STARVING STE ??? and the amount of gameboy content popping up over a year is frankly not too shabby either with NES/SNES and megadrive runner upping that ass ... (tho they get like crazy many, which one was it that got like 230FUCKING - K - uk pounds on kickstartter before coding ??? for a nintendo console retro game ?? ... ANYWAY ... if you dont live in belgium and you can ... theres nothing wrong with getting paid as long as you dont turn into ninterror over a bedroom coded piece of work ... thats just the opinion of the rift Janes OnderGrond is ofcourse ... i wonder what will be left after this winter ... a devastated wildland filled with toxic holes radiating human-killing toxic fumes ?
20241125 : good to see it keeps going tho other than a potential jag core i dont see much happening that hits my personal sphere of interest. The foldable nightstand arcade cabinet looked awesome as a dabbler project but most of these "QOL" improvements (the guy who came up with that corporate garbage word during a meeting must have nightmares about not patenting it by now - but as all buzzwords it will last no more than five probably two years) wouldnt even phase me if i had the disneyland money to go around for it. Gouts et couleurs yo, im not insulting anyone here. Much more interested in seeing 68030 or up cpus (and other) on a mister or v2 than i am in 20 types of cases, 10 clones and 500 controllers that look like the original ones but have a usb plug - also dlove to see the 9pin port usable by all cores that had one and OS-level savestates but its totally understandable that if you CAN make money re-selling iterations you will do so - just ...please use SOME of that to try and actually move the thing forward :) that would be even awesome-er ... right .. ay-yo, usually we only click "mistercompat updated" but the actual "mostrecent" list only displays on this page. Its time to cycle ... the post 2020 keeps coming, the new wave hasnt been explored yet (2000-2020), and we assume about all retro games will work since thats what the cores were built for, even if it mean virtual rewiring or adding a bypass on certain virtual machines i guess... as long as it doesnt turn into an Atari-Amiga 1990s tribewar its nice to see oldtimers in their 40s and 50s enjoy themselves heheh ... K then ... someone should sell me an assembled Kiwi really !!! REALLY !!! i mailed the guy but got no answer (the site hasnt been updated since 2019 ... covid ???) too bad, he even got a pic with superWoz-of-electrons ... that kinda means something , right ?
20241108 : been keeping a slant eye out on the zxnext for a bit, 128 hw sprites, copper chip , the whole shebang, waiting for games that blow the A1200 out of the water, i saw the mister core goes up to 28 mhz ... but for some reason ....
20241104 : Taki Udon , the last Mohamerican ? Not sure but the accent sounds american. Sells the better stuff for less money and doesnt take money before there's anything to sell. Gives warranties and quality assurance ... Being used to being the negative guy in the positive universe (the Gods put us here so the universe doesnt topple over to one side from all the fake-positives) i have to say WE LOVE IT ,but we do have a few worries there, not really about the guy himself he does sound legit when he's speaking, not using one buzzword every 5 other words and all that. More like : if you get into the pit and you sell better stuff for less the conglomerate of salesforce (as a concept not the company per se) gets together b/c they cant fathom
that way of doing business ... its a bit of a dangerzone going against established "institutions" and actually being succesful ... BUT MOSTLY : we have to wonder, do you REALLY need that office space and engineers to pay for. Can you not keep it "in the bedroom" for at least another year scouting what happens when the initial rush dies down ... migraine prevention. I mean Ninterror has a cozy cushion of 8 billion dollars to fall on while they cant get rid of their heap of consoles in a saturated market but they have a cushion, and a battery of men in black who will wash you clean if all else fails. I mean, if people who actually do business in a way thats not about "how can we shine some lights in the plebs' eyes and take the money and run, go down b/c they got too high on the initial rush, that is a loss for the future. If they SUCCEED in turning out a living at a slower but secure pace its a shining example to those who are of independence. Its not out business but it would be a shame ... ofcourse, not living in america where debt is the standard way of doing it (tho that doesnt seem to work very well anymore does it) we might have different p.o.v. but humans are humans no matter where you go. So this is not to rain on someones parade, it GREAT to see someone able to pull it off like that, but taking a step back and considering the worst case scenarios (WE personally, having grown up in the cesspits, always take the worst case as a baseline but here there ARE no opportunities and those that are get smothered anyway) - take a step back , if not these words then think for yourself a few timelines including the ones where it doesnt go as planned and also the physical reality of the point where "everyone who wants one has one" . This is not gonna sell 80 million units is it ? ... to go for sustainability instead of high on the initial rush, expanding like a bubble and pop the weasel went ;;; this is not a company you can sell off to microsoft b/c it goes against their thing ... definitely not to Ninterror either lol ... we're rooting but a step back, some reality checks and some projections where it actually doesnt keep selling like it is today and DO WE REALLY NEED THAT PAID FOR OFFICE SPACE RIGHT NOW RIGHT AWAY TODAY ? it cant hurt to do that. ... Catstar free advice ... do with it as thou wilst ... thinking it over shouldnt cause hemorrage ... probably ... might even pop up some ideas. ... keep it street but keep it real heheh. Right, was gonna do something ..hmm (nah personally we would still prefer a mister 2 but if guys like this can keep their head above then they might present a cheaper mister 2 so its all self-serving really as we alway are :)
20241101 : too many quickieeeees ... like those youtubers "how to do your wife in 5 minutes" ... i mean ITS GREAT TO SEE THAT people are still having pets and ZeX and hAMS and all almost weekly but it would be nicer to see some polished, finished prods, like the megademos .. fulcrum ... gaia machine ... DEBRIS ... 1377 (?) ... its like ... well forgotten forest 2 looks a lot like last years helloween freebie and its certainly not river barrage but seuck games are getting closer to par with 'real' prods ... so many onehourgamejams ... were we just the first to fall to the dysfunctional focus of the mind and will we be the last to have some left ? I cant say lately other than spelunky theres much that REALLY caught attention (on about all platforms mind you) some before that like Hayato maybe .. not counting the xteenth port of pacman or "that game you can now play on your amiga!" ... since our games are TBA 2050 - 2150 its gonna be while and actually we are kinda
hoping SJA doesnt rush one out just for an xmas bonus from itch but takes to time to do
that thing and do it right ... mmmh, well yea psytronik got titles like rocky , and i guess if you like point 'n clicking theres yeti but well euhm YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ... i didnt know ADHD was contagious so generation ADD has set it over on the oldtimers in the bedroom ... mweeeh ... expecing too much i guess BUT REALLY ... who all wants some REALLY NICE AND FINISHED GAMES FOR THEIR FAV PLATFORM ?? yea tony i know i know, its not all gamejams ... but you know what i mean ..
20241030 : Saved the world before breakfast once more, thats been a while. Finally final fantasy I, the first game we set out to finish on "a real NES" (all stuff only rich kids have in een gat in the 80s ofcourse or was taht already 90s ? nah must be 80s) when we got the mister from Spain ... playing like its panzer general we pushed through after getting masmune, got past tiamat and lo and behold, after that its a direct line to CHAOS , the end boss, which, for some reason seems to be only half-a-kraken worth now. AND SO OUR VALLIANT WARRIORS TRAVEL BACK THROUGH TIME ... i dont think i ever took this long, battling this many interruptions on top of the fact that these days we are interrupted more than a c64 on a demoparty in the early 2000s, more than Angelina Jolie and Wynonas beaver in that primus movie inter pares ..., to actually finish a game . I think when SMAC2 got on steam it took about 48 hours to 100% deity mode and all ... haah, ... YOU SURE DID A NUMBER ON US KSO-NINGEN ... so ... whats next hmmm, final fantasy 2 perhaps, by then it'l be 2026 before FF3 ... by the time we complete the series with everything we never played before Nomura quit (played the bromance demo, took about as long as space marine 2 and the "hey THIS IS THE BRANCH your superhuman canjump over, the rest of the forest is impassable" moment to quit .. 10 minutes ? much prefer lightning , serah and vanille over bromance in a car ... TRULY ... very un-woke probably but HEY ... see what they're doing ? they postpone ES and others until AT LEAST this thing has blown over and the next superbowl brought the next scandal, RIGHT FOR A.I. RENDERED MARTIANS ! perhaps ) ... mm hm, if you look casual mobile games for ADHD people that go clickety click and boomboom (youble keeps poking one of those in my face and i never played a mobile game xept once while waiting in a hospital and i quit BECAUSE IT WAS FUCKING BORING) ... final fantasy 2 ? actually i have no clue about all the j/cRPGs on the NES/SNES sega8/16 generation ... and i dont care much about the later xept perhaps the FF on psx1 then ;;; but i played those, 5 definitely, 7 , ... cant remember 6, 8 or 9 ... .Strange ;... anyway .. .and 20 minutes til cycle ... WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY IN HELL
20241021 : as for "most recent" added we probably will only show "new releases" there from now, so if we add 1980s/90s/00/'10/ games to the list they will be with the respective consoles or computers after played or tested but not in mostrecent. In general most 80s90s work anyway b/c the cores will have been adjusted to cheat so they do even if they didnt.
20240829 : split up into two parts, its slighty a hack-ish but it works (on these browsers at least) ... short underhanded borderline lamer coding
20240810 : wip still but its here - under the hood a lot changed and its hella easier to sort out - just need to work away the flatfile into entries and then there's about half a million roms to test but i think if i weed out the doubles and dont count "prg / crt / d64 / .tap / .dsk / .adf / .lha" as different versions its probably closer to 250000
20240727 : wip
the new style well its an includefile on this page now - obviously not the intent of loading all entries at once on one page over time but this wont lock the internet for now. Also very much not the intention of being a full database, just "misterCOMPAT", relevant links to wikipedia, csdb, atarilegen, zxart, msxdev etc etc etc are provided for that ...
20240720 : wip
the new style for easier sorting searching adding and removing , as always no deadlines or roadmaps unless Elon sends us a quick billion b/c he feels it has to go faster ...
20240616 : switched the backgrounds for (mostly) Mister screenshots , some stuff that doesnt run is from emulators ofcourse
20240603 : moved some stuff around , it will fall in place sometime
20240601 : give this thing some time it will fall in place - its kinda hard to add GOTM on a thing that revolves mostly around 30yo or older games - for that id suggest pixel cherry ninja, indieretronews and maybe videogame esoterica , for the c64 ofcourse RGN and retro gaming dino + the usual boards but that one has its own section - if we ever get hands on an STE (it would have be an STE im afraid -real one- or gods behold a FALCON that will get one too - when the Jagstudio programming takes shape of an actual game it might get its own too, as for the rest- if we win euromillions we will personalluy maecenas retroCOMPUTERcore people but when did we ever have that kind of luck --- broken links are possible its not a scraper, if anyone actually visits this and finds one, feel free to mail (anything@janesondergrond.art will reach just dont start with YOUR HERITAGE IN SOUTH AMERICA FAST! or something) well fix it ... its passtime hobby and gets us nothing but the brainrot prevention so we dont care much what anyoone thinks about it ...
