It’s been a while since I finished the CHIP-8 emulator, the CHIP-8 emulator was mostly capable of running PONG, but at the end I still haven’t figured out how to get input work correctly. This time I want to try to experiment with the Gameboy, it will be much harder to emulate given the increased number of instructions and a palette. DMG-01 Also known as the “original gameboy” Hardware Overview CPU: Custom 8-bit sharp at 4.19MHZ Resolution: 160*144 Framerate: 59.727hz Memory: 8KiB...

How Pokemon Red implemented flashing stars
I’ve been writing my gameboy emulator in rust and I had a lot of issues getting this startup screen to display properly, later I’ve realized it was achieved using the clever pallet swapping in runtime. For pokemon red, the start screen flashing start is made possible by changing palette during runtime. 12345let palette_num = if sprite.use_palette_1 { self.op1 } else { self.op0 ...

StyleGAN2 generation with Genome
Previously I have written a simple library called genome using Javascript repo. The idea came to me when I wanted to build something like cryptokittie (crypto cat breeding and trading). I wanted a way to generate random values that can be used to generate random things, also the ability to merge these values. The project is really crude, it basically stores 4 markers and 1 influence as number. When merging two DNA together, there is random change that one gene might mutate. There are 5 type...
