LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

ugh seriously? another cave story port? So I'm one of those 4 people who still use a vita daily, and long story short I was messing around in CSE2's source code when I found out that VITASDK does have a SDL2 library and so I thought "what would happen if I rewrite the CMakeLists file so that...

This took me wayyyy longer than I'd like to admit which is weird since I beat Blood Stained Sanctuary in both CS+ and DSiWare in less than 4 minutes first try but I finally beat BSS freeware in <4 minutes

Looks like someone hasn't played Blade Strangers :)

same reason as to why PAL games from that era were so slow, back then framerate was tied to the refresh rate so developers had to make it run slower to avoid timing issues

Aight so to answer most of your questions I tried to force the game to specifically not load a stage map by de-referencing scene_opaque and leveldescriptor in the n3dhdr file and all it did was just turn black and remove the lighting. Though I can't come to a conclusion just yet unless someone...

Don't quote me on it, but I remember reading in an interview somewhere that the development of CS3D started before they had their hand on a 3DS devkit, so that's possibly why it looks better on bigger screen

Honestly, I highly doubt that, the way that overlay works is quite literally just "check if file with the same name as *.pxm file exists, and slap it on", it still relies on 2D stuff for player-env interactions. Oh by the way the camera movements are just done by one single *.cam file, nuke it...

I know freeware can run on a literal potato but damn, this feels surreal

All the 3D stuff you see are basically just a layer on top of freeware/DSiWare, it still heavily relies on 2D elements under the hood.

I'm not gonna lie, while trying this I was hoping they'd at the very least added 3D collision just so I could be proven wrong and have a reason to not call it a "lazy remake". Largely disappointed.

What am I getting at you ask? Well what if I told you that Cave Story 3D is quite literally just freeware under the hood. Don't believe me? here's a little experiment: Open Boosters lab (or CaveEditor it doesn't matter) Edit any map you want Replace the *.pxe and *.pxm with the ones you've...

If you extract the game, delete the stage3d folder and rebuild the rom the game fallbacks to 2D sprites (err... sorta) I don't know whether the black sprites are caused by an emulation bug or the lack of lighting.

I think I broke it

B-B-But, if Topazz says that one of his family members work for Intrisix and that Pixel gave him the super duper secret Cave Story Beta in English it has to be true riiiiiiight!?!?!?

There isn't a single mention of 'cave story' or 'beta' whatsoever on that website.

Best. Mod. Ever.
