this is getting ridiculous

wait what if it's a keyboard

it involves DOOM as a Service

I just thought of how I could make it another twice as funny just by spending another 5 times as long

I draw the line at installing a java IDE. I'm doing this in sublime, even if it isn't the best environment for java

the most dangerous phase in shitposting is when you have to ask yourself:

do I make this joke twice as funny by spending 10 times as long working on it?

I am too tired to understand maven build files right now, PLEASE

I can't believe I have to rewrite some software just for a shitpost

AHHHHHHHHHHH

ugh, the emulator (Yaba Sanshiro 2) stores the Saturn ram in word-swapped order

304 portraits

good news: they did it right. there are no variants among the different scenes, they didn't fuck up their content creation pipeline

extracted 2122 portrait images: all of them completely black.

I hate dealing with palettes in python (w/PIL(low))

basically each scene has a copy of the faces used in it, and it connects those to a universal ID.

but the versions in each scene could be different, especially on accident

there are 304 distinct portrait IDs. Hopefully they didn't fuck this up and all the instances of them are identical

okay I think I know enough about the image format to write an extractor. It SEEMS the palette is always the same, and I semi-automatically extracted it once

it's a neat format. Every full sprite is followed by two sub-images for blinking. even that logo that doesn't blink: they just use the same image, but still, technically that logo is blinking

didn't figure out where the palette was, but since I can find where the texture is in ram, I can just make it tell me what the palette is by injecting it in there.

so I'm trying to hack the files rather than the code

I really don't want to have to reverse engineer a Sega Saturn game.
A dual-CPU dual-GPU system? that's going to be SO MUCH FUN to try and disassemble
