509: “This Shouldn’t Be Possible on an Amiga 500!” – H0ffman - Demoscene and Game Ports – The Retro Hour Podcast EP509

This week, we catch up with the legendary H0ffman to hear some tales from the demo scene trenches, Amiga wizardry, and porting classic arcade titles. From brigning Metal Gear and Knightmare from the MSX to the Amiga, to pushing Neo Geo boundaries with Sega classics, and how he accidentally created a global DJ community with a bit of Amiga code. h0ffman Website: https://hoffman.home.blog/ h0ffman Itch: https://h0ffman.itch.io/ Contents: 00:00 - The Week's Retro News Stories 57:27 - h0ffman Interview Please visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show: Bitmap Books - https://www.bitmapbooks.com Leeds Gaming Market: https://leedsgamingmarket.com/ Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needs Take your business to the next level today and enjoy 3 months of Shopify for £1/month: https://shopify.co.uk/retrohour We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://theretrohour.com/support/ https://www.patreon.com/retrohour Join our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8 Website: http://theretrohour.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/ X: https://twitter.com/retrohouruk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.com Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohour Show notes NES Blunder Spotted in Stranger Things: https://tinyurl.com/4m3yu3bu Turrican & Taito Hit Evercade: https://tinyurl.com/3mjkfe8e Dreamcast VMU Pro Preorders: https://tinyurl.com/59t5nwvy Mighty Final Fight Drops This Christmas: https://tinyurl.com/3nhs6835 DSpico – Open-Source DS Flash Cart Lands: https://tinyurl.com/mwv6fzbp New Dead Rising in the Works?: https://tinyurl.com/jx7m6t36 Stab N Dash Returns on Plus/4: https://tinyurl.com/mweuj6nv
