I've been working on a file manager and backup tool for Turbo File Twin and Turbo File Adapter, using the same visual style as my previous WildStorage tool for DS. Includes a library for making it friendly to work with Turbo File in SNES homebrew games.

I need to finish adding the file operations (copy, move, delete; skipping hex edit for now) and test it thoroughly (the TFII filesystem code is untested and almost certainly needs work) and then I think it'll be a good basic version of the tool.

Introducing version 0.3.0 of the Terrific Audio Driver (a homebrew SNES MML based audio driver).

https://github.com/undisbeliever/terrific-audio-driver/releases/tag/v0.3.0

This version does not add new features, instead I made 2 major back end changes: The audio driver has been ported to spc-700 assembly and tad-gui now uses the cpal crate to play audio.

I've been playing with movement in Sliding Blaster 2 because that's something that's important to get right early on. I'm trying out an idea where triple tapping the boost button does a bigger and faster boost, for quickly getting out of bad situations (but it's risk/reward because you can launch yourself into an enemy), and I tried a visible boost trail to make it more impactful.

I also slightly increased the boost speed compared to the previous game. I tried doing a movement style where instead of movement via boosts it's an acceleration feature, but it didn't feel good and realizing that the little bursts of speed are fun gave me the idea to try emphasizing that with bigger and more visible boosts.

I took the Super Game Boy code I made for Petal Crash GBC and made a code example that shows off booting custom SNES code and then having the Game Boy side send files to the SNES as needed.

The text at the top is the result of asking the Game Boy to calculate $AA + $BB and send the answer to the SNES, as an example of doing other tasks than just getting files.

Getting back into snesdev with a new side project, an spc700 assembler.
This assembler will make compiling Terrific Audio Driver a lot easier.

I'm off to a good start, it can currently assemble a single instruction inside unit tests.
