News

• Added Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, an ancient Windows XP era shmup. There are some noticeable sound latency issues which I can't really do anything about
• Added new build of Super Mario 64 (after a few years) that does two things
  • Fixes traveling to parallel universes
  • Uses interpolation for 60 FPS
• Fixed video playback on Sonic Mania.
• Mania and Sonic 3 AIR were fixed. Mania had broken 3D models (which gated off obtaining chaos emeralds) due to me forgetting to implement the model compression. Sonic 3 AIR had devmode force enabled, which was disabled. The multiplayer server for Sonic 3 AIR was also fixed.
• i lied. the surge domain will be receiving updates for the foreseeable future
• 3 main changes this update
  • Multiplayer for Sonic 3 AIR is now fixed.
  • Changed controls for all Sonic games. They will now all follow the keybind scheme of Sonic Mania, that being K for Jump, L for Back.
  • Fixed a bug in Sonic Mania where pressing D would cause the player to jump after and during a special stage. This was caused because of a C-button (which was seemingly unused but had the same function as A) being mapped to the same key as right.
• Fixed save files for Sonic Mania. This was way more work than necessary trying to fight with Emscripten's function pointer generation so this will probably be the last major update in a bit.
• Fixed save files for both Sonic 1, 2, and CD. Sonic Mania next, probably (not). Also another change is light/dark mode depending on your device.
• Two new games were added, Super Mario Bros 1 and Super Mario World. SMB1 has buggy audio. Please email for more info, but it's due to floating imprecision. Super Mario World works fine, though.
• Unfortunately, the 42.ar subdomain service is currently down. This also means that the self-hosted multiplayer server for Sonic 3 AIR is down. Not much I can do here until it comes back to life.

Basically every game is dependent on refresh rate. This is due to javascript using RequestAnimationFrame for timing, meaning that the main loop of every game is ran according to the refresh rate of your browser.

Debugging

Encountered a crash in one of the programs?

1. Trigger the error
2. When the error is encountered, open Inspect Element or DevTools (using Ctrl+Shift+I or similar keybind)
3. Go to the console tab, then expand the latest error's stacktrace (by clicking the arrow)
4. Either screenshot the error, or copy and paste the entire content of the stacktrace (THIS IS IMPORTANT. I literally cannot do anything without a stacktrace)
5. Send a message to my email (scroll up to find it) containing the error, and step-by-step instructions on how to replicate the error
