/vr/ - Retro Games

I wholeheartedly recommend Buck Rogers:Countdown to Doomsday

Hell of a game.

And, as always, Star flight is a must play.

If you only play 1 game on the Mega Drive, make it Starflight.

Hot damn! Link to a patch? All I found was a SMWCebtral thread, where it has been removed by request...

The pacman clone you are thinking of sounds like Rally X, didn't think there was a GB version though...

Mapping the ROM is very useful for getting the structure of the program, and mapping the RAM is great for doing cheatcodes, and understanding what code in the ROM is changing.

For a Pokesav type app, mapping the SRAM is more important, but ROM and RAM are both very important to understand when doing any hacks.

Oh shit, dat nostalgia-wave

My favourite hack is Sonic XL. Recommended by some anon here... Can't always go fast, don't want more onion rings!

That depends how the game deals with it. Ive never played around with Pokémon myself, try and find some docs on the save format

I literally got that in the post this morning. Haven't had a chance too boot it up yet though.

But I also kind of agree. Sonic games do have a big community, but due to the art-style, level making tools, and graphic effects used, its easier for a newb to make a "good" SMW hack than a "good" Sonic hack - which is why I recommended SMW.

Bad SMW hacks feel like Mario, bad Sonic hacks don't feel like Sonic, if you know what I mean.

The checksum is probably based on the entire save, not justthe time. Change time, calculate new checksum, then load it up. The problem will be working out how the checksum is generated.

Super Mario World, I'd say. Well documented, lots of tools, and big community of hackers for it.

>>1626695

Can't remember off the top of my head, but I think it was A+up then B, or B+Up then A, something like that.

I had the same problem at the beginning. Learn the "combos" - once you have the flying kick down, everything seems more sane.

This is the only game I know of. The cable was provided by Technopop (who made the game) via a mail-in offer packaged in the case. It has now become quite common knowledge though, see here how to make one:-

It's pretty easy, even possible with just electrical tape (though I recommend soldering and heatshrink wrapping the join for durability)

Aside from shitposting, sweet! I have a working Dreamcast, but no Mega CD. Never had a chance to play snatcher, so I'm psyched.

Not expecting a release for a while, might even have a Mega CD by then

A friend of mine years ago (around 2003 or so) also had a copy of this, so we butchered a few 3rd party controllers to make a link up cable.

It was AWESOME. It quickly became the go-to multiplayer game for our group of friends. It even overtook Micro Machines 2 for a while.

If you can get 2 TVs, MDs, and copies of Zero Tolerance in the same room at the same time, I urge you to try. It is fun

This game right here is AWESOME. Makes me feel like the captain of the enterprise.

Favourite star trek games?

The virtual-on arcade machine had twinsticks, and is a major part of experience. Playing on a d-pad loses a lot of that - get the twinsticks. Its like "Densha De Go!", "Samba de Amigo" or "Sega Bass Fishing" - without the special controller, it just ain't the same.

Well it works in my GBC. But that goddam artwork is WTF. The Japanese hero, the dragon, bodacious babe... But the actual game? Blade, as in the game of the Wesley Snipes film. WTF is that art lol

Pic related, dammit

>>1623647

Finally home, and with my DMG the game won't boot... Hangs on the Nintendo logo. No glitches, no "only for gameboy color", just hangs.

Now I'm doubly intrigued! Time to hunt for my GBC...

>>1624076

I wish it was holocat!

Picrelated.

Also, get Dr Mario & Pokemon Pinball - they are both excellent

Just had a delivery from eBay to work of a bunch of GB games, including this random bootleg. Can't find anything about it online, any ideas what it could be? Wish I had my gameboy with me!

Also, bootleg general
