Almost 10 years and 50 releases after SameBoy's first public release, SameBoy 1.0 is finally out! Introducing many new features such as Cheat Search, Printer and Cheats support in iOS, a new Apple Watch port, and tons of other features and improvements! Links in the comments.

Dear ISP, Please schedule your "scheduled maintenance" to 5am, not 1am. Sincerely, me.

It’s even worse on mobile because these useless AI generated essays cover the entire result page, forcing the user to scroll for the actual results.

Google search has been getting worse and worse for years, but the intrusive Gemini results are just obnoxious and useless. I search for piano movers because I need real results of actual piano movers I can call, not a useless AI essay explaining what a piano mover is.

Now make C overtake Python and software engineering will be saved.

Proud to share my latest work with FedEx to localize their iconic logo for RTL regions. This took a lot of hard work but really proud of how it came out 💜💜

Love being an open source developer

I gave a try to Nintendo Switch Online's 9-day trial, marketed as 7-day trial for some reason. I wondered how high I can get my VR before it ends (Last time I played online was a few MK8 races on the Wii U). Turns out the answer is 8250-ish, although I peaked at 8385.

BTW, each step (e.g. checking for files) has *three* different implementations which have varying implementation details (e.g. one implementation checks for files via a symlink, while the other checks them directly) to make it more cumbersome patch.

* This is very on-character for Nintendo, the strings are "encrypted" with a static XOR key

It also dynamically writes a dylib into the Documents folder to see if they can dlopen it. The dylib reveals the name "JBDetectLib", which is probably some commercial solution Nintendo pays for, see screenshot. Might as well find some private API and snitch to Apple >< (2/3)

Nintendo's JB detection on iOS is pretty much malware. It uses an obfuscating compiler, encrypts* its strings, checks for both existing and non-existing files to detect common jailbreaks, does its SVCs by itself to avoid hooking, checks for fork/execl/etc system hooks (1/3)

Now that it has been announced, I can mention that Same Boy, from @LIJI32, is powering the GB core in the QEE that will be bundled into Street Racer Collection.

JPEGs are now banned from my pasteboard, no more screenshots being converted to JPEG upon copying!

I'm very close to globally hooking UIImageJPEGRepresentation with UIImagePNGRepresentation to prevent iOS from compressing literally *everything* to a shit-quality JPEG.

iOS 16 vs iOS 26. UI padding in iOS 26 is just insane.

This is what happens when you launch Xcode 26 with a debugger attached, btw. The icon is actually dynamically generated, so it "matches" itself if you set Xcode to a custom icon.

My Xcode instance seems to be a bit self-condescending

I created a Discord server for SameBoy, let's see how it goes! https://t.co/NUdIgCn8H1
