A bit of an update and a warning
Published on 03 Feb 2026
Happy New Year!
This might not have been noticed by people as it was definitely more of a stealth update in the past few weeks:
I added a patched version of Super Mario 64 Disk Version that fixes the Wiggler enemy crash, it was made by Zoinkity.
In a much less stealthy update:
For the next 4 days including today, I will repost slightly updated articles that I made in the past that explains each title of the Mario Artist series, with images and a clear easy-to-understand overview of everything they offer.
I felt this was important to have, because I have a deeply rooted belief now that we should more seriously try to pass the knowledge to people who are less savvy. So I want to try that more seriously, and there might be more articles in the future that try to lean further into this aspect.
While I am here though, I also want to make a bit of a warning:
Considering how Nintendo is finally waking up about very obscure things (no seriously it’s hype to have Zero Racers and Dragon Hopper on Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics later this year), and how I suspect the Nintendo Museum is making Nintendo rethink about these things, like the 64DD does actually have a lot more attention in there than you think (and I mean more than a simple mention and having boxes around), I want to take the time to say something important.
I am not risking my life to potentially get sued over video games. If I see the slightest actual hint of official 64DD rereleases, I am more likely to pull at least the first party ROMs out of the site. This can just happen at any moment’s notice.
At the time of the website’s creation, I judged that Nintendo would be less likely to step into this website’s goal because of the extremely niche nature of the 64DD, and also that I felt that it was not overstepping right into their business. But right now, this can potentially be different in the future. Once I feel I am overstepping bounds, I am not interested to risk it that hard. They don’t even need to Cease & Desist to be honest, they just need a verified person to talk to me and say the word.
No matter what though, I do want this website to stay. I can reshape it however it is needed to make it still exist within safe bounds. There are a ton of things I could do to improve the site in other ways, and taking it more to an informative goal.
