Looks like the patent does have some hints as to how the algorithm works, and might be helpful while disassembling; go to page 22, top of column 12...
For anyone that knows how to use the MAME debugger, using the "tetris2" ROM set, you can investigate the System 16A randomizer in its original form....
I recently reverse engineered the Sega randomizers (there's two). The System 16A versions have the 1000-piece-looping behavior already...
You're kind of ignoring a basic, unavoidable fact: Someone cannot eradicate the clones, no matter how much they want to. The "best" they can hope to...
You assume he can't change. You're incorrect. It just may be very, very difficult.
There's a self-fulfilling prophesy at work here: Henk/Mihara (?) think that there can't be a market for commercial TGM games outside Japan because...
Is our incessant need to inform each other the fule [sic] that drives the creation of files?
Small error: T+2 (Tetris Plus 2) actually has a rotation system *almost* identical to that in TGM1; in T+2, the wall kicks and floor kicks work...

While muf may be correct about QueryPerfomanceCounter being a very precise way of measuring timing, it's not a perfect solution. From what I've read,...
If you decide to use busy loops, one way is with Stopwatch. Another is using a native Windows library; the method you're using in the initial post...
Re: "Tetris Worlds" for PC: Anomalies and Hacks I'd start with a new page, something like "Tetris Worlds Hacks", with a link to it on the Tetris...
Re: "Tetris Worlds" for PC: Anomalies and Hacks I think your post would be better served as a wiki article. I'd like to maybe document the runtime...
That Destructoid fan review is much better than the IGN one. Makes the stick sound like it's worth getting even if you don't plan on upgrading it,...
This can be interpreted in a few different ways, but one interpretation is that the stick isn't a real Sanwa, it's some rough imitation. Another is...
The initial Languages template requires two other templates, Languages/Lang and Languages/Title. These dependencies further require the...
While I would like to see TAP TGM+ listed, I don't expect it to be, but I'd like to know why it's missing. Is it because TGM+ activity is quite low,...
Re: Jewerly Master Twinkle You can get in in the USA and Canada, at the very least. I also found a rather curious looking game developed by Arika...
Maybe Amnesia's taking offense at my recent TGM+ record? I've only been playing about a year now (only TGMs and Sega Tetris), so I can understand...
