The Linux Users' Group of Davis presents: “How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love ” Today, the video gaming world is far more fragmented than it has ever been — various environments and operating systems running on a variety of hardware platforms: computers, tablets, phones, home game consoles, hand-held systems. Therefore, porting is an absolute necessity for success in the market. This talk will cover the steps taken to remove the in-house libraries used by a game released commercially for the PlayStation 3 and Vita platforms (Dragon Fantasy 2) and replace them with the cross-platform, open source Simple DirectMedia Layer collection of libraries. SDL makes Linux support a snap, and Adam builds both his Linux and Windows versions using a single script under Linux. About the speaker: Adam Rippon is Creative Director at Muteki Corp., publisher of Dragon Fantasy, a retro-style role-playing game originally developed for iOS, and later ported to Android, Windows, Mac OS X, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3. Originally created as an homage to Adam's late father, it's a classic JRPG styled with 8-bit Nintendo graphics and sounds. The game's follow-up, Dragon Fantasy Book 2 (released for the PS Vita and PS3), was styled using both high-quality modern graphics, and as a 16-bit Super Nintendo game. Adam is also Board Certified Master Videogamesman at Gaijin Games, publishers of the BIT.TRIP series and other titles, where he's currently porting a game from Flash to SDL. Monday, May 19th Davis Public Library 7pm – 9pm Blanchard room 315 East 14th Street Free & open to the public Davis, CA www.LUGOD.org.

The Ultimate Famicom Software Guide V
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ultimate Famicom Software Guide -- version 2.0 -- Compiled by fcgamer, fcgamer26 [at] gmail [dot] com https://fcgamer.wordpress.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION / AUTHOR'S NOTE: When I first started collecting Famicom games, over three years ago, I had decided to chase after a complete set of the unlicensed software developed for the Famicom. I chose this goal partially because of my location, but also because it was a collection that few people had ever bothered to collect. Aside from a few deleted webpages available through archive.org and the incomplete sources at Famicom World and BootlegGames Wiki, there just wasn't much to go on. Hundreds of hours of searching through auctions around the globe, chatting with other collectors, and just going out and tracking down this obscure corner of Famicom collecting, and I had ended up compiling my own personal list to help aid with my own collecting goals. Since those modest times, the scope of my personal collection has evolved into collecting everything Famicom, from Russian translations to educational cartridges, to official game packs and promos as well. As such, the documents which I use to keep track of my collection / game wants also evolved, and I felt it was time to compile it into a more user-friendly document. Likewise, I would like to offer this document as a gift to all of my collecting buddies out there, who have helped sell / trade / gift me so many carts over the past three years. My collection wouldn't be where it is today without you guys, and without all of the interesting discussions about Famicom, I probably would have also lost interest by now if I were to go at it truly solo.
