New Cascade Website finished
Author: Zeldin - written on 05.10.2008
Puhh... being back from Greece in the beginning of October, I finally felt driven on enough to finish this new Cascade website, which was slowly getting rotten as alpha in my projects folder (it's beta now ;-). Meeting all those old friends in Hellas after such a long time, besides seeing the famous Antikythera mechanism from eye to eye, gave me a lot of new energy, which I wanted to invest before it fades again...
To this website:
Well after I stopped uploading old stuff to csdb last year (read below why), I started concentrating (besides other things, of course) on a new Cascade website as the old site was apr. 7 years old and really antiquated. I wanted a dynamic content system, the possibility of an easier site administration and a little blog-like system, just to spit out my thoughts from time to time, whenever I feel to do so. Furthermore I wanted to integrate my personal demo and game databases into an easier webdesign, therefore the new layout was made with .css (well most of it at least). So I recoded the whole site from scratch. All in all it took quite long to finish the code, because real life leached most of my energy. But now it's finished and I hope you all like this...
Some words to csdb:
As I said I stopped uploading stuff to csdb, although I still sit on tons of missing old cracks. The reasons for this is that my motivation for supporting csdb sadly was killed, after some ppl started to spam the database for unknown reasons. Maybe those guys suffer of heavy image neurosis, being keen on upload credits in the csdb stats, I don't know... but now there are many, many "scene releases" in csdb that are either not scene related or no releases by definition or worse, even both! Some entries are totally senseless, others were only done to have some bytes for upload to csdb. It's so weird!
And not to mention all the double-entries because some ppl are not willing to check properly. So the amount of 67.000 "scene releases" in csdb is definitely artificially elevated, spoiling this cool web resource :-(
Hopefully someday things get better, or I simply regain motivation to support csdb more than just keeping track on the Cascade entry... we'll see...

29.03.2026 - Video: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo for C64/C128 - Demo 3 free for download
In this video you can find some updates on the Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo game I'm creating for C64/C128 platforms using my RetroFighter engine. This adaptation of SSF2T for CBM platforms is based on the GameBoy Advance version called SSF2T Revival, but obviously my version will have something different. The game is planned to be executed on a 1Mbyte EasyFlash or Kung Fu Flash cartridge. This new demo includes the following: almost all backdrops (one is to be completed), almost all musics (only one remaining), enhanced bonus rounds, enhanced animations and sprites, chainable jabs and shorts basic moves for some fighters, strongs and forward basic moves for some fighters

29.03.2026 - HighSpeed Pascal - Turbo Power for a Cooler Computer - video by 'RobSmithDev'
Whilst digging through some of his Amiga boxes Rob stumbled across his copy of HighSpeed Pascal. A somewhat less well known compiler for the Amiga. The reason he'd purchased this was its compatibility with Turbo Pascal on the PC, allowing him to do his school work at home. In this video we're going to take a quick look at it, and see two of the things that Rob created with it.
