Spinout reveals Aria from 64DD Zelda.



"For the first time, object_human (previously believed to be "Aria") has been viewed properly with proper animations. I figured out the format through guess and check and pattern finding; it is completely unsupported by OoT's (release) engine - the model contains data of an old format."

"This model also most commonly known as the fan-given name "Aria" is a NPC dating back from the first developmental period of Zelda64 when it was still being developed for the 64DD. Not much information is really known about this girl. From Nintendo Power's first pictures of Zelda64 to its change over to Ocarina of Time there has been NO MENTION of this NPC's name, role in the game, except that she appears in a screenshot at the mythical Zola Lake infront of a house. According the text under the screenshot showing 3 different girls, it is shown that they were NPC's with a similar design that needed help with something, as like a side quest or gave information to help link further his quest. "

Swamp Thing Prototype Released (Gen/MD).



"Matt and I have been waiting quite some time for SegaAge to open up, and I really have to say that it's off to an amazing start. There are other Sega communities around, and while they offer some fantastic things, I really want to help set this place apart from any other Sega community. We already have a killer database and collection tool, and I'm sure an Ezine isn't far away, but this will also be the only place where you'll be able to download free ROM dumps from Unreleased Sega games that Matt and I own."

Z80 Based Laptop.

















"A Z80 laptop? Why not :) I had reduced the size of my ongoing Z80 project down to something more wieldy by using CPLD chips, but it was still a bit too bulky to fit into an acceptably sized case. The next step was to look into FPGAs and see where they could take it. One thing led to another and I ended up building a self contained post modern home computer laptop.. thing."
