Project Suspended

I'm not sure how long this will be for, if not permanent. But I have suspended the project due to... yet again... another entitled idiot leech.

Such scum has always continued to be the bane of this project. Every time I try to pull back and adjust so that I am not catering to them... they find a new way. Then I have to try something new in...

A New CaVE Build

Today I have released a new build of CaVE. It includes work from the past month. Most notable is the FTP support, a general reworking of the Sync code, updates to the Automatic Updates code, and some changes/additions to the Saves tab.

FTP support

  • FTP supports syncing of Saves in addition to database files.

A New Year, and a New Chapter for CaVE

As most should know now, CaVE v1.5 is public again! Though I have still kept the Beta label. I am not sure when I will drop that.

The future is uncertain for the project. It's hard to say how many supporters will drop, or how many potential new supporters I would have otherwise would decide to not support. Support is what keeps me motivate...

Push for Christmas CaVE v1.5 Beta Public Release!

I have decided that, I would like to try and get CaVE v1.5 released publicly on the 25th. I like releasing stuff for Christmas, and that is my best option. Further, I have previously stated that I would like to release v1.5 publicly before the end of the year anyway.

CaVE v1.5 has been private far too long. While my main focus will continu...

CaVE and GBA DisplayEx Update

I know this is a bit soon for a CaVE update. And neither tie into any NSO updates. But the new build of CaVE is important.

CaVE has been in private beta for a really long time. And thats because I have not felt it was ready for wider usage. And really, 2 persisting issues have been why. 2024-12-16 15:27:58 +0000 UTC View Post

GB/GBC DisplayEx Update

In v1.10.0.0 and going forward, there's a new feature in the GB/GBC DisplayEx.

Inspired by cucholix's work on a similar mod, and our mutual efforts to try and solve its issues... I came to find that the best way to execute this mod is via lua... and DisplayEx specifically. It works itself right in!

This new feature is a option called...

New Subscriptions Enabled Again

I have re-enabled the "A Thank You" tier again. CaVE should be redownloaded again, only if you want automatic updates to work the next time you open CaVE. Otherwise there is no major change to the exe at this time and you can probably wait until the next NSO update.

New Subscriptions Have Currently Been Disabled

I had to delete files on my server that are needed for the CaVE Beta to function. I plan to address things in a new build, but until then... anyone that would download CaVE would find it to not have the latest NSO updates, and be functionally useless for their likely needs.

I do not want new supporters to encounter that, so I have disabled...

Automatic Updates Disabled

Until a new build is made, automatic updates have been disabled for the latest builds at the time of writing this.

This is a result of people distributing the CaVE application and DisplayEx mods freely online without my approval, and refusing to remove the stolen content. I cannot continue to support people who are using such files that we...

CaVE 1.5 Beta Updated

This is a minor, but very needed update.

I added 2 new buttons that will sometimes show in the Mods tab.

Update v#.#.#.# will show when your database is currently using a older version of a mod than what it finds available in the mods folder.

NSOM Mismatch will show when your installed mod is simply different, for whatever reas...

SGB Border Remakes

If you are like me, you grew up with the Super Gameboy. Sadly NSO Gameboy does not emulate the SGB and its unique/better color palettes, but we can try to get something of that experience back with these SGB borders! Now in 16x9!

If you have been wondering what the Fit to SGB Borders option was about in DisplayEx for Gameboy... this is it....

DisplayEx Tool, A Upcoming New Project

I'm pleased to finally be at the point where I feel more comfortable formally announcing this new project!

This tool will help users be able to make stunning background images for use with the DisplayEx mods (And SNES Classic too, technically). Each background you create will have a perfectly fitted viewport/window where the emulator outpu...

Sorry, Thank you, and General Update

First I need to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the v1.8 and v1.9 GB/GBC updates being late this last month. And I'm sorry that DisplayEx for GB NSO v1.9 is not working and released yet.

Out of nowhere one month ago... my internet connection went out. It's something I completely rely on. I have no cellphone service, as all I need is VOIP. So....

Future Mod Ideas

DisplayEx is a nice advanced mod. It has taken a bit of time and effort invested, and while not originally intended, I think that's worth it as a premium mod for the CaVE users that support the project the most. But it should not be the only advanced mod.

The theme mods were slated for being the next mod, and originally intended as the pre...

New CaVE Beta Update

It's been a while since I updated CaVE (outside of standard database updates)! I was enjoying taking a break from C# and working on CaVE itself, by instead diving more into LUA scripting and mod development.

That said, this CaVE update is in part the fruit of that labor. Yea, I addressed a few issues that piled up, but the main thing that ...
