This list is probably a little bit incomplete. It is presented in reverse chronological order. Not all streams have been preserved, and a few are partial or just clips. Other short clips of my streams may be found at my channel's clips page.
| # This is a decompressor for data in the Sim City (Japan) ROM for Super Famicom | |
| # | |
| # This extracts the complete character set from the game, used for the popup dialogs, | |
| # and also all of the text used in these dialogs. | |
| # The five SNES versions in various languages can also be dumped by this script, see below. | |
| # | |
| # The decompressor is for a Nintendo compression format that was apparently used in several games, | |
| # and has been known by some as LC_LZ5. It might be useful for other games besides SimCity. | |

| # Problem: | |
| # Making an NES game, want smooth motion but don't want to store sub-pixel precision. | |
| # Solution: | |
| # Approximate smooth motion in discrete steps. | |
| # | |
| # Investigate a few methods, and compare them by smoothness. | |
| # Use standard deviation as a measure of smoothness. | |
| # (Lower deviation total is better.) | |
| # | |
| # Result: |
| # dumps PAK files from the game Abyss Boat by Leaf | |
