      WashiestDrop198 and even their retro re-releases are bloated. Hell, Trials of Mana is a legit SNES ROM, and it’s double the size of the original ROM at 6MB. You can count the number of 6MB SNES games on your hands. There’s no reason other than laziness to bloat an English translation that much.

      I think it's a mixture of lazyness and also "more GB means better game" mentality. Meanwhile my favorite games are between ~250MB and ~15GB

      Using "tricks" to let a Game run or look better than the hardware allowed, is the one of the Key feature a programmer showing his skills. And yes, today because of "no limitation", there are alot of data junk in most Games, would save some GB of data space. I still think Nintendo is one of the last bigger company, that care about Game size and let the Games look great. Otherwise, how they managed to make Mario Odyssey with 5.7GB or Zelda BotW with 13.4GB.
      Other Games like the new Call of Duty with over 150GB and Patches, that are larger than some other big Games, making me sad. Im sure, there was no "polish" or at least trying to reduce the data trash to reduce the GB size.
      Edit: The Spyro Trilogy is maybe one of the best examples. On first release, there was only the first Game on a Blue Ray (PS4 and Xbox One) but now there was an rerelease (after Nintendo Switch Port) with having all 3 Games on one Blue Ray. So there was for sure alot of data trash removed and polish to make that happen.

    Absolutely brilliant. These days people seemingly couldn't optimize their way out of a cardboard box by comparison. We have incredible hardware now but it's spoiled us, we constantly see things that run poorly even on extremely overpowered hardware and the stuff seldom looks good enough to justify the performance issues. Reminds me of Crash Bandicoot and how the developers managed to do such incredible things with such limited hardware by being creative and efficient.

      There's a whole "4k demoscene" and "8k demoscene" where people do graphics demos, with the limitation that the code can't take up more than 4k or 8k. On a modern graphics card you can generate whole scenes from algorithm instead of data in very little memory... Search youtube for those. Or to see something similar rendered on your own computer (assuming your computer can handle it) you can go to a site called shadertoy, where you can write demos in opengl's shader language and see demos other people wrote.

      There's no shortage of tricks for newer games. Realistic lighting, texturing, shadows, and all sorts of other things are also full of clever shortcuts. Sure, storage space limitations aren't too big of a deal, but memory and processing needs continue to grow just as fast as the underlying hardware is improving.

Theres always a place for doing things properly, but this is a really clever way of adding flare without adding size or processing power. Minecraft would be a prime example of a game that could run amazing if better written, although its mostly limited by java.

    Summary: The intro seems like 30fps, but it's 7.5fps with pallete swapping to get 4 frames out of 1 image.

    Im so happy because I had figure this one out before !!! Having a confirmation from the creator feels so great and empowering 💪🏻

    This is amazing! Really clever use of the MegaDrive's memory limitations.

    It's amazing the level of talent, artistic vision, and mathematical ingenuity it takes to do things like this. It really takes a special kind of individual.

    Interpolating with the color palette. Quite ingenious!

    I had this idea for a challenge I give my kids from time to time, using a 2d animation program to simulate 3d, and this is exactly the way to do it. I'm always intrigued with reaching and getting beyond feasible limits, designing methods which further an idea using existing hardware platforms, it somehow expands our creativity and draws a line between those who can and those who won't evolve, creatively.

      The music is different. My guess is that there was a copyright issue or something like that so it had to be changed

    This has to be the most genius way to get FMV videos in like that. You might be limited to 16 colors, but with the proper coding techniques like the one shown, you can get up to 4 min and 26 sec of continuous FMV just by very sneaky palette swaps. I hope this technique can be shown in Genesis hacks in the future too!

    Mind blowing... I'm replaying pokemon while I listen to stuff on the internet and it blows my mind that the whole game fits in 4 MB. A whole world inside 4 MB. That for me is magic.

      There's a story to that logo too. The Gameboy always displays a 'Nintendo' logo on boot - but have you noticed that if you take the cartridge out, the logo can't show? The Nintendo logo is actually an early form of DRM scheme: The logo is stored on the ROM, and in the gameboy's (tiny) firmware - along with a boot program that checks the cartridge, makes sure the first thing on that cartridge is a program to display the Nintendo logo, and locks the processor if the test fails. So if any company wants to make gameboy games, they have to make their game boldly display the Nintendo's logo, which is subject to both copyright and trademark law - thus anyone who makes games without a license from Nintendo will be painting a big legal target on their backs.
      These days the same thing is achieved through a cryptographic signature, backed up by the legal threat of whatever national law criminalizes circumventing DRM systems (Most countries have one, as it's required under international agreement for for all WIPO members). The gameboy came out before such a law though, so this was a creative way for Nintendo to abuse the legal system into maintaining exclusive control of the platform.

    When watching your videos, I wonder if devs today have it easier than in the past with such limitations on hardware. The work around on limited hardware capabilities is amazing.
