[Release] Jurassic Park III: Island Attack (GBA) - Quality of Life Control Patch (Fixes double-tap sprint)

Hello everyone,

I've just done a QoL control patch for Jurassic Park III: Island Attack on the GBA. I don't think that there were any previous disassemblies or documentations on how the ROM can be hacked since I had to do the hack from scratch via Ghidra/BizHawk/mGBA.

The Problem:

The original 2001 game needed you to double tap a direction quickly in order to sprint. Critics of the game disliked this control scheme because it made running away from the Spino or Velociraptors (which required split second reactions) really awkward.

What this patch changes:

Modern Sprinting: The buggy double tapping control scheme is swapped for the modern Hold R + Direction control scheme which allows sprinting in both Isometric free roam and 2D cross-section levels.

Inventory Control Fix: The R shoulder button is completely cleared for sprinting while L shoulder button is now in charge of regular inventory navigation.

How to apply the patch: No ROM files are included in the repository – only the source code of the python script and offsets of the bytes that needs to be changed for your legal USA dump of the game.

I'm still trying to fix a lot of things eg the mechanic where you had to keep clicking B in order to break crates etc -> to holding B to break it.

I hit 119 installs on my Chrome extension, but my database shows only 9 active users. Help me find where my funnel is leaking?

Hi everyone,

I recently launched a Chrome extension designed to sync school assignments from Canvas and Google Classroom into a single task manager.

The metrics on google developer dashboard felt like a great early win: I hit 119 total installs with only 15 uninstalls. About 23 people still have the extension active on their browsers right now.

Weekly users over time

However, I just ran a SQL query on Supabase backend to count unique authenticated user emails, and I found only 9 unique people have actually synced data.

That probably means a massive chunk of people download the tool but get stuck or lose interest before completing the setup process.

I’m trying to diagnose where the friction is happening. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Built an AI Chrome extension that scans Canvas/Classroom/Schoology and auto-generates your study schedule no manual entry needed

I built a Chrome extension that scans your Canvas/Google Classroom/Schoology and auto-builds your study schedule with AI, would love feedback.

Every day I'd spend around 20-30 mins at the start of a study block just figuring out what to work on and when. Jumping between LMS, copying due dates, and trying to guess how long each task would take.

I built a student planner named Activify and here's what it does:

- Auto-scans Canvas, Google Classroom, and Schoology for your assignments

- Uses Llama 3.3 AI to generate a realistic, time-blocked daily plan factoring in your extracurriculars and breaks

- Has a "What should I work on right now?" feature so you never have to think about it

- Drag-to-Strike task completion, a satisfying animated strikethrough when you finish something

- Builds a Study Streak to keep you consistent

Note: the AI chat requires a free Groq API key to set up which takes about 2 minutes

Let me know what's missing or what you'd change.
