    Cave Story won't load sprites correctly

    I do have a solution for this on the troubleshooting page of the tribute site: https://www.cavestory.org/game-info/troubleshooting.php#bug11

    The current trend is to move away from forums and towards Reddit and Discord. Nothing we do is ever going to reverse that trend. By modern standards this place can be considered active for a forum. Also, yes, everything we can talk about has been talked about to death. Forums like PokéCommunity...

    Are there sources on the room_909 = Darkman thing? Also I have no idea what Haru to Shura is even about, plus I heard that it is super open to interpretation, so I have no idea what to write as a blurb.

    I played through all of FF4 and just couldn't bring myself to care about anything that was happening. Cid dies and I don't care. Cid comes back to life and I don't care. The entire cast felt so one-dimensional that I wouldn't notice if they were replaced with cardboard cutouts. The only game...

    FF5 is great, and I hate how it is overlooked for the subpar FF4. It was the first FF game that actually had any form of character depth and the job system was fun to use.

    Cave Story DSiWare checksum fix

    Generally it is not something implemented to prevent save tampering, but rather to prevent save corruption. I've seen save checksums used for Gameboy games, and that never stopped anyone from cheating using a Gameshark. It's just a data integrity check. As for why this port and not any others...

    Japanese characters not displaying properly despite changing locale

    Is this in the form of mojibake, or is it placeholder characters like □ or �?

    CS community meta discussion

    How the hell is this brain numbing excuse for a thread still going a year later? I think it's time to nip this in the bud.

    Change `Gender` Indicator to a Text Field

    Well I've added Genderfluid and Plural to the dropdown, and a Gender Notes field, both in the user profile and in the post header (only if said field isn't empty mind you). Hopefully this is sufficient.

    What's your favorite NPC spritesheet in Cave Story?

    Also an NpcGuest fan.

    Change `Gender` Indicator to a Text Field

    Switching it to text input might break existing data, not sure. But I can definitely add new options to the field. Can someone more knowledgeable than me about this stuff come up with a list I can use for a dropdown? In the meantime I've added "non-binary" as an option.

    Misery (mis)recognising Sue

    I doubt Sue was important enough to Misery for her to even commit her human form to memory at the time, much less her appearance as a mimiga.

    What got you into Cave Story?

    I saw this piece of fanart for the game: https://www.deviantart.com/raizy/art/Cave-Hero-35819910 The description read "If you haven't played Cave Story yet I feel bad for you. :<". Who was I to argue with that. I played Cave Story, loved it, and joined the forums in 2007.

    How is the island stay floating after the core's death?

    Some people can be so depressed that they bring down the entire room, but Ballos brings down the entire room in the most literal of ways.

    How is the island stay floating after the core's death?

    No. That's wrong on every level. Think of it like this: levitation = 1 + (coreAlive?1:0) - (ballosAlive?1:0); Ballos being alive makes the island fall. The core being alive makes the island rise (to counter Ballos). If both or neither are alive then the island just floats in place.
