Code writer and web designer. I hack old games and rarely play them. I like dem colors.https://bsky.app/profile/toruzz.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/toruzz.com/post/3mk4pqomno22xI did an interview about Super Mario Land DX that didn’t end up being published as planned, so I’m sharing it here. Hope you find it interesting! https://toruzz.com/interview/2026-01-0623 Apr 2026 00:06 +0000at://did:plc:iut4w7nyopc2dpfry2k34lsc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk4pqomno22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/toruzz.com/post/3mjhui45lo22cI'm seeing a lot of confusion, so I'll try my best to clarify what this is about: - I'm building a way to "port" GB/GBC games to the GBA.
