Man youve been giving the Play-Yan fandom some big wins lately especially a review and such. The biggest win imo would be archiving the sprites and/or the mediastage program.
As far as i know, Play-Yan emulation hasnt been perfected yet but ive seen some random tweets from a while back by someone else who managed to emulate it iirc. Still waiting for that to become public idk if it will but honestly the closest thing to having it on the 3ds is the visualizer for now.
@@C3S6Films Hello, I'm the emudev working on Play-Yan emulation! My emulator (GBE+) can currently run all of the menus on the OG Play-Yan and Play-Yan Micro. You can even drop music/video files into a folder and and it'll emulate the SD card (grab filenames and even ID3 data for MP3s). All 13 Garage Games are working too. You can "play" music/video files, but they're dummy data atm, meaning it doesn't do anything just yet aside from looking at the trackbar progress. The most recently available version of GBE+ (1.7) isn't up-to-date on all the changes I've made, so unless you want to compile from the source code, you'll have to wait until 1.7 next year in April. I'd say the Play-Yan is about 80% emulated. The rest of the work is actually getting audio and video output for media files. That's actually pretty straightforward in principle, but it does take a bit of legwork to setup. I'm not on Twitter anymore, switched to Mastodon dot social so that's where all of my updates these days happen. Anyway, I expect either later this year or early next year it'll be done.
Yes, but as far as I know, WW Twisted came *after* the Play-Yan, so, despite my false accusations about the origin of the WarioWare Gold minigame,@@Improvisado64 it still possibly holds true that the WarioWare Twisted minigame comes from the Play-Yan, thus the Rhythm Heaven/WarioWare connections growing.
