#32Why release a custom patching tool instead of a standard IPS rom patch?
I honestly did not know that IPS existed until just now! I've added a link to download the patch.

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
Safari on macOS doesn't support animated WebP [0] except for Big Sur and later, which is pretty recent. [0] https://caniuse.com/webp
Thanks for sharing this website, it's insane how far behind the curve Safari is on... well, every technology.
I have asked a few times at work if we can drop safari support because it’s blocking so many new features. No luck so far.

Not as fun :) Besides, you just need the old and new roms to generate an IPS, eg. https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/ And someone has already requested this: https://github.com/stevebob/mos6502/issues/1

My approach of hard drop implementation was different, honestly i just looped the piece down routine until it hit the ground. His approach breaks the scoring system though, mine doesn't =p
Anyway, this was a great article! Nice rundown of the NES architecture.

Glad you enjoyed the article! Is there a reference somewhere for how scoring should behave with respect to hard drop? I'm interested in fixing it.
