Hello! It's a month with no new releases, but I've been working practically all month.
Work on SilentPatch continued all month, with around a dozen new fixes for San Andreas this month alone. The update for SA is nearing completion, and after that - Vice City and III!
Hello! In January I took it easy, so for once I have no updates on any contributions and/or new releases. However, I have a few things in progress. Let's get to it.
My original plan of going open source in January has failed, but for a good reason - I've been going back to the codebase and integrating multiple new fixes, those contributed by Wesser in the SP topic...
2024-02-01 10:50:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello, and Happy New Year! December was a month of tidying up loose ends, and a month when SilentPatch turned 10 years old!
To celebrate a decade of patching, I have launched a page dedicated to SilentPatch, with an explanation of what it is, its goals, history, and a full list of supported games: 2024-01-02 13:32:46 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey! This month's update is rather short, as November was slower - but the one release I published is quite interesting.
Released last week, this is effectively "the newest" SilentPatch - both in terms of how new the game is, and how shortly after the official release it was published. When playing WRC, I ran into a graphical issue exclusive to the GT...

Hello! This update is slightly delayed due to my long overdue holidays. In October, I released yet another new SilentPatch together with a game research post and cleaned up my backlog a little.
Earlier this month I released a comprehensive write-up on the history of Juiced and published a SilentPatch for the demo versions of the game to allow people to...

Hello! September was quite busy - I released a new SilentPatch, submitted contributions to several more projects, and started research for a future first-of-its-kind SilentPatch for a demo version of a game. Oh, and I also accidentally caused the news of Midnight Club 2 shipping a pirated executable to go viral once again, oh well.
Hello. This month I was mostly busy with archiving my old covermount CDs and trying out random demos, but I also released a widescreen fix for a PS2 game.
The current widescreen fix shipped in PCSX2 was underwhelming and didn't cover the driving sections of the game at all, so 2023-09-02 13:38:16 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello! Although no big new releases happened this month, I pushed a compatibility hotfix to one of the patches and had a chance to contribute to emulators again.
Recently, I received several reports that CMR3 would consistently crash with DXVK installed, but only if SilentPatch was in use. I identified this to be a small mistake in one of my UI ...
2023-08-01 15:09:34 +0000 UTC View PostHello! This month I was busy with professional commitments, so I don't have much to talk about. For this reason, billing for this month has been paused.
Hello! Once again no new-new releases this month, but I pushed a few updates to the existing mods instead.
The patch for CMR3 was released with a few smaller issues (one of which was caused not by me, but by a compiler bug!), so it was time to finally update it. I also included two small new features. You can check the full changelog of this rel...
2023-06-02 09:17:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Not much has happened this month, but I've been able to contribute to Redump by sorting out my small collection of physical games, and I tied up loose ends with mkpsxiso.
As mentioned, I was able to wrap up and merge the latest dev changes to mkpsxiso, a PS1 disc image building to...
2023-05-01 13:31:39 +0000 UTC View PostHello! This month I updated one of the Gran Turismo cheats and submitted some usual contributions, so it's one of those months where I tie up loose ends.
One of my professional contracts also has been concluded this month - DeathKeep was released last week on Steam and 2023-04-01 15:34:07 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello! This month I've been mostly relaxing after the release of SilentPatch for Colin McRae Rally 3, but I managed to get a few nice fixes for OpenRCT2 in.
Hello! This month has been relatively productive - SilentPatch for Colin McRae Rally 3 has finally been released, and I had the chance to submit a few usual other contributions.
Earlier this month I finally released a patch for Colin McRae Rally 3 that I've been showcasing for several months by now. It seems to be reasonably successful, and unti...

The biggest SilentPatch release since GTA San Andreas is now out!
2023-01-15 15:24:26 +0000 UTC View PostHello and Happy New Year! In December I was busy exclusively with World Racing 2 CE and with SilentPatch for CMR3, so this update is going to be very short.
The project is ongoing for 3 months now, but at the time of writing this update it's reaching the end - it's undergoing tests, translation strings for new options are being made, and I'm abo...
2023-01-02 11:12:21 +0000 UTC View PostHey! In this update, November may look like it wasn't that busy, but in fact, it's the opposite due to work-in-progress projects! Let's get to it.
That project is still ongoing and the very same Twitter thread is sti...
2022-12-02 10:36:35 +0000 UTC View PostHello! As anticipated last month, October was indeed busy. While I haven't released anything new, I spent quite a bit of effort on Hacktoberfest contributions and researched Colin McRae Rally 3 a lot which resulted in a work-in-progress SilentPatch. More on that later.
Not an update per se, but the Combined Disc has been confirmed to w...
2022-11-01 11:59:26 +0000 UTC View PostHello! As you might have noticed, billing has been paused for this month, since I've been mostly busy with work and I haven't had the chance to do much hobby stuff.
This month I dusted off the code for GInput, untouched since 2016. The development version received some improvements over the years but they never made it to a public version, so I decided it was time to tidy a...
2022-10-02 10:47:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello! This month I had a 2-week-long vacation combined with a visit to gamescom 2022, so this status update is going to be relatively short. Once again, to make it a little more interesting I am going to include all notable research from August.
At ...
2022-09-01 09:01:52 +0000 UTC View PostHello! This month, I didn't publish any new releases, but I did invest plenty of time into research - so I'm going to shuffle the formula a little.
I also played Stray 🐈
I have migrated my to-do list to a new version of GitHub Projects, which means the link has changed. You should have received invitations for a new project board that ha...
2022-08-01 08:34:53 +0000 UTC View PostHello! First of all, I apologize for the delay in publishing this post, I was on a trip and didn't get to writing the update a week ago.
This month I "only" released a single cheat-code-based mod and a tool, but I also did some investigation that I'm going to briefly mention.
TDU, other than its PC...
2022-07-03 14:45:24 +0000 UTC View PostHello! In May, I briefly came back to Xbox emulation, and also released a minor update to one of the SilentPatches. Let's get to it.
Thanks to ermaccer, SilentPatch for Scarface now has an option to customize on-foot FO...
