Unsure if this is the right community but here goes,

Recently I've been interested in demakes and found a GBA Celeste port one time. Where do I find more demakes?

interested in females

Username checks out, though I’m assuming you meant “demakes”?

Anyways, the demake I’m most familiar with is the in-progress Lego island. The YouTuber behind it documented part of the process in vlogs (linked on the GitHub page), so that might be an interesting starting point.

~~didn’t know that was a part of bisexuality~~

I should probably flee before I get eaten by an army of blahåjar (apparently that’s the correct plural?)

I hate to be nitpicky; but that's a decompilation, not a demake.

'Demake' usually refers to a game that gets remade for a system older (or less powerful) than the one it was released for. A good current example is the in-progress Super Mario 64 demake for GBA.

'Decompilation' is where one reverse-engineers a game (or any software!) back to its original source code, or close enough that when you build it, it's identical to an original copy. So, the goal of the Lego Island demake is to produce source code that can be built into a fully binary-compatible copy of Lego Island, indistinct from what's on the original CD.

Oh I don’t mind the nitpicking, thanks for the explanation! I (apparently erroneously) thought “demake” and “decompile” were synonyms. Guess I’m one of today’s 10000.

In that case the (now taken down, but forked a gazillion times) portal64 project would be a correct example of a demake, right?

Thanks for being nitpicky, so I didn't had to.

Lol, worst autocorrect ever. XD

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It fits so perfectly too. Females? Oh Celeste and op is bi.

Calling women demakes is a new one.
Holy crap, my autocorrect did it too! It changed demakes into females. Wtf

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I haven't checked it out yet, but I saw someone had made a Lumines demake for the gba. Usually I end up finding out about them through forums and youtube

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

never knew demakes were a thing

I thought someone was doing a Genesis Port of Resident Evil, but I"m not sure if it was just a fan trailer or if they really were doing it.
