Two front page updates in the same calendar year? Something must be going on.

After 5 years, VPW Studio is now available to the public, despite still being unfinished. More information and the download can be found at the official site.

A new edition of my ROM hack of AKI Corporation's Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 is now available. There are many changes, and it's best to find them out from the changelog on the official site.

A new article is out, going through the "major" points of my 2021, as well as paths I could take in 2022. There are also some ideas for people who are not me, because I don't want to spend a bunch of time implementing them myself.

It's been a couple of years since I've released a proper progress report on the various things I've been doing. Time to fix that with a June 2021 update, including information on Tracklayer, VPW Studio, and other projects.

If I'm bothering to update the front page, you know it must be something important.

For the 19th anniversary of the release of AKI Corporation's Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2, I have released a preview version of my ROM hack, "Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 freem Edition". When you take the project's past as "VPW2000" into account, this hack has been in the works for around 18 years. I'm glad to say there's finally a light at the end of this tunnel. More updates to the hack will be released as time goes on.

I ended up writing something about my current projects, now that I'm another year older. There still needs to be a second article written, and I'll update this post when that's available.

The VPW section was getting lonely, plus I needed to make sure people could get to the FPR Logo Viewer site from my page somehow.

There's also this thing called the Fire Pro Coal Mines, but detailed information on that is going to have to wait until some other time.

The StepMania Repository section of the site is no longer available. Both the main page and the SM5 Theme Update section weren't really being updated in the past months anyways, so there's no real reason to bother keeping those parts up.

A new site section has been added: PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16 Development. I hope to add information, examples, and utilities in the future.

2015 was a pretty good year for me, so I decided to write about it. Check the Writings section.

Family Picross obviously didn't get finished in 2015. Ah well.

I wasn't kidding when I wrote "how little I'm actually updating". Most of my time has been spent working on the freemlib for Neo-Geo, which I am now testing by using it to port The Last Eichhof. I have a long way to go, especially where audio is concerned. Right now, the main menu is complete, including cursor movement and palette cycling. Outside of that, only one screen is considered "complete", and that's the "but Alpha-Helix strikes back with" part of the intro because it's easy. :p

Outside of Neo-Geo programming, the past few months have been mostly quiet. The StepMania 5 Theme Update section of my StepMania Repository gets updated every now and then. I still have a lot of theme work I'd like to finish (hello, foonmix port), but for the time being, that has been put on the back burner. Family Picross is another project that's been on the back burner thanks to Neo-Geo development, but I hope to finish it this year (at the earliest) or in TW-TW-TWENTY SIXTEEN.

So hey, I've finally gotten around to redesigning AJWorld.net again. It has been a long time since the last real redesign, so this is overdue. I've also added a few sections to the site: StepMania Repository and Neo-Geo Development. The StepMania Repository is meant to host a few files and be a source of StepMania 5 theme update news (via StepMania Theme Update) when I'm not lazy. Neo-Geo Development is what it sounds like: developing things for the Neo-Geo.
