Iou, this is kinda neat. Music goes hard.

I'm thinking about trying to translate some japanese gb/gbc games into english. anyone know how to get started on that? google isn't being much help on finding stuff about text editing specifically.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgYKmgOhdAU

>>11087703
Try asking people who have made translations. Also read this https://www.romhacking.net/start/

Homebrew? More like shitbrew (with few, rare exceptions).

>>11087703
For the research phase, it follows the same basic workflow as with any other kind of non-beginner ROM hack: Set some breakpoints, do a few memory pokes, add some comments, etc.. Once you've figured out where the text is stored and how it's formatted, you can create tools to extract and inject the script. After that, it's just a matter of doing the actual translation work (this part is boring, good luck if you make it this far).

Game name?

>>11089614
Damn shame when a game like this ends up stuck on the SNES. Hopefully the author will wake up and make an enhanced Mega Drive port.

>>11089885
Goes against the "homebrew is only on Mega Drive" faggot narrative you keep spreading, for sure.

>>11087703
You can try a tile editor called YY-CHR, if the game has compressed graphics, you can also make a noncompressed savestate or some emulators with have the option to dump ram or dump vram to save to a file that you can try and edit.
Next you would use the debugger to learn where the graphics are loaded from.

>>11087706
Has someone revive cancelled snes uncensored port?

>>11089885
It looks great but you can see how the SNES held back. But I think the extra challenge of making something good on the SNES is more interesting than on the Mega Drive, which is also difficult, but much easier than the other older systems.

Bullshit. I've tried that and it didn't work

>>11091869
How did you learn to do this Mode 7 effect on GBA, are you using a library for it? I tried following the TONC guide but it's completely indecipherable since I don't know maths, I also looked at the Mode 7 example in Butano and it still isn't very helpful because the camera only rotates on one axis, I just want to have something at least vaguely resembling a Model View Projection.

>>11091982
Emulation or not, PS1 and PS2 discs are still region-locked on stock PS3s. PS3 discs are not, but their DLC is (you need a PSN account matching the game's region). Even hacking a PS3 still will not allow out-of-region DLC.

>>11087734
Random question

What happened to this hack?

I've been streaming Mario 64 Star Road and I apparently accidentally grabbed an old version because I didn't do my research and one of my viewers told me I can transfer my save between versions to get up to the most recent version, but I didn't get clarification before they were gone.

I'm using Parallel Launcher and was wondering if anyone knew how to transfer saves with it? I tried renaming my Star Road 1.01 z64 save to have the same filename as the Deluxe Edition I grabbed but it didn't seem to work. I've tried Googling it and come up empty.

>>11089885
?

>>11087436
is the distribution of homebrew GBA games legal?
The nintendo logo must be present on the header of the rom, and that is copyrighted I guess

>>11089614

>>11094130
This sounds like an issue I'm having except I get this when launching bin/cue PS1 games from Webman as well, so there's no PARAM.SFO to edit.

>>11096025
As far as I know, it's legal. Usually people point to Sega v. Accolade as proof ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_v._Accolade ).

Doom 64 on Dreamcast

someone needs to make a good mega man hack for SMW.

some hacks use mm graphics but that's all. they're needs to be one where you shoot lemons straight instead of bouncing fireballs. either use a mega man sprite, or just give mario a mega man helmet for the fire flower power up.

>>11093380
You don't need an account matching the region. the dlc just has to match the game because it get installed to a folder with a region name. some DC lc you can just change the folder name.

i have a all regions of dlc on my ps3, and no psn account.

>>11096819
The ASM exists for Mega Man mechanics. Even walljumping, if you want an X-like game.
You just have to make it. Good luck.

>>11087436

It's up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAqFF-_XH3s

>>11096829
The account is necessary for OFW (stock PS3).

>the dlc just has to match the game because it get installed to a folder with a region name
which is exactly region lock, and hacking the PS3 doesn't solve it by itself. This applies to PS3 game updates. DVD/BD discs are also region locked, not sure if CFW gets rid of that though.

>>11090690
>>11090745
>>11095728
>How did the SNES hold back?
Typical low resolution, very few enemies and little action, and you can count on there being liberal slowdowns anytime there is a decent amount of action. I would also bet on input lags, and muffled and soulless music and sounds. The SNES just isn't well suited for action platformers such as this, the developer's time would be far better spent making this game on a more performant hardware instead, he would be able to not only create a better game, but spend less effort doing so, a win win for everyone.

I wish my Chaos Engine 3 sequel ideas gained traction with the Bitmap Brothers and Amiga community. I even pitched a fleshed out movie idea to Guillermo del Toro's management. New characters, levels, time travel, vehicles. etc. It was going to be steampunk Diablo but life gets in the way.

>>11095683
To the best of my memory, you need to do a few things:
> 1.) Get a Hex Editor (HxD)
> 2.) Open the patched ROM, and rewrite the Internal Name**
**This String of characters has an arbitrary volume which is padded with Space (0x20) characters**
> 3.) Following Parallel Launcher's save file naming scheme, rename the copy of the save file to reflect the updated patched ROM's Internal Name

It's not difficult.

Does anyone understand how mGBA detects wether or not a rom is multiboot?
(relevant: https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/blob/master/src/gba/gba.c#L742-L833))
I was working on a very simple rom, in the beggining im trying to zero the .bss section, wich is loaded at the start of EWRAM
But mgba scans the rom and sees the 0x2000000 and it thinks its a multiboot rom. Changing that address to some other value makes the rom load normally
My work arround is to add a 256kB stub, since if the rom is bigger than EWRAM mgba will load it normally, but I would prefer a more elegant solution, (and any interesting game is going to be bigger than that I guess)

>>11092723
>https://gbadev.net/tonc/mode7ex.html
This really, really, REALLY needs to be in the OP.
Specifically https://gbadev.net/tonc/ under GBADev section of it.

>>11099241
Who maintains the list? https://forum.gbadev.org/ has been down for years.

>>11099107
It looks for a branch at ROM offset 0xC0, which is the multiboot entrypoint, and then it tries to instrument the next bunch of instructions to conclusively figure out if the code accesses data from ROM to rule out non-multiboot ROMs. Just put an infinite loop there.

Did the SNES version ever was released?

Been messing around with cheats in various games. Discovered something I never even thought about.
In SMB2(USA), you know the hawk heads you use to travel to the next level? Well, some levels have them at the very start, and they are closed so you can't enter them. Turns out, they are actually linked to the previous level. Using a cheat that opens all hawk heads without any orbs, I went through the one at the start of 2-2 and got dumped outside the door leading to the Birdo fight in 2-1. If it wasn't for the rocket-rides in World 4, you could otherwise play the game backwards, starting off at 7-2 and working your way back to the very start of the game.

>>11109138
Yes, and it was a piece of shit, tons of flickering.

>>11109538
works on my machine

>>11109221
More than just rocket rides, you can't carry items through screen transitions, with the sole exception of something out of a vase. Not without more cheats, at least.

You HAVE to suck this SNES homebrew game's cock. Suck it NOW or else you're a CONSOLE WARRIOR. SUCK IT!!!

After using a fucking raspberry, xc snes port is much worse than the original md one. And the gba one is going to be worse thanks to the moving camera.

That's the funniest thing, isn't it? Even after using an "expansion chip" several times more powerful than the entire rest of the SNES, the various SNES bottlenecks prevented the game from even matching the stock Mega Drive version. The failure to successfully port Xeno Crisis to the SNES should be all the proof anyone needs of the SNES inability to handle action games, or why homebrew developers generally don't want to work with it.

>>11110460
What is it with you and the SNES specifically?

>>11110460
Super Smash TV is much better than any Xeno Crisis port and doesn't have coprocessor, retard.

Dragon Quest games that have a "walk through walls" cheat can be great fun to mess around in. Turn on random battles and just go exploring off rooftops and whatnot. Sometimes you just fall out of town, othertimes you will end up warping to other towns, castles, dungeons, caves, etc. Just be careful about messing around with it in 4, I accidentally picked up the Boarding Pass as Ragnar in Chapter 1 and really broke things later on. It's pretty safe to do in the other games though.
The Lone Ranger world map isn't an exact rectangle or square, and you can break the game by moving to the far edge, putting the Ranger off-center and unable to enter any towns, battles, or anything else. The areas not filled in(mostly the lower right of the map) have a repeating random roads pattern you can get lost in forever, as in you'll never be able to walk back out if you walk in it long enough.
Either invincibility or another cheat I was using caused Dracula's final form to freeze and become invincible once his health hit 0 in Dracula X. Time kept ticking, I could still move around, but there was nothing I could do.
Using multi-jump in SMB's GBC port, you quickly discover many levels will force the camera down to make the ground visible even if it puts you off the screen when you would just be at the top of the screen on the NES version.
The floors and ceilings in Castlevania and Castlevania 3 are connected. If you use multi-jump to jump above the screen, you'll come out the bottom. At that point, if you fall into a pit, you'll come falling from the sky. If you aren't moving forward, you'll be stuck in an endless fall.

>>11109696
Thanks. That's pretty bad considering the SNES is running in 256x224 while Genesis is running at 320x224. The SNES can draw 272 sprite pixels per scanline so it should have enough to fill the scanline and then some, so it's pretty bad that it's dropping out when it's just the snake and nothing else on that scanline. The Genesis on the other hand only appears to drop out if the entire snake is on the scanline and bullets/explosions are also on it.

The narrower resolution also seems to make the boss harder and the game more cramped.

>>11110551
Smash TV has much smaller sprites so the dropout issues aren't as noticeable.

>>11111402
Gameplay > tv scanline

>>11111525
That argument makes no sense and is pure pathetic cope. The game obviously plays better when sprites aren't constantly dropping out and flickering. It also plays better when there's more screen real estate to work with from a higher resolution.

Okay hackfags, here's an idea I had recently. Pic related is a motherfucking awesome racing game for the NES because of the head-to-head mode. Nothing's better than you and a pal duking it out after having a beer or two. My problem with this game is the limited amount of tracks in the head-to-head mode which makes the game get old very quickly. The challenge mode feature three tracks per each vehicle and the ability to play these in head-to-head would vastly increase the replayability.

Just giving an idea, I'm not really a romhacker, but I'm sure there's a way to unlock the rest of these tracks for 2-player duels.

>>11111547

Ok grandpa, your colorblind is showing

Does anyone have the Real Bout Fatal Fury Special Gen/MD port, specifically the (newest) version titled "RBFFSG_vLite2-0.rar", as listed in the 4shared download link in the description here?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr_SwbaKQXY&t=0s
It won't download for me no matter how much I try, and that's apparently because of "high demand". And do you have any requests for me (for pre-patching or for homebrews I may have)?

So I was messing around with a Nitro cheat for Driver 1. Apparently the game is designed to stop everything and display a little CD symbol in the lower right hand corner of the screen when you are traveling too fast for the PS1's CD drive to keep up. It will resume exactly where it left off once loaded, but for all the complaints about the sub-par FPS, I never once heard anyone complain about the game having to stop and load in the middle of a mission. As such, I'm pretty certain this is game behavior that is impossible to see without cheats to boost your speed.
To see it trigger for yourself, turn on the Nitro cheat, find a nice empty long stretch of road, and hold down the nitro. Once you hit Sanic speed, the game will freeze in place and you'll see the CD logo for a second or two. Just be advised, hitting anything at those speeds will send you flying through the air over buildings. If you ever wanted to look at rooftops, here's a way. Combined with the "flip car in air" cheat, you can try to prevent yourself from landing on your hood, and go explore around out of bounds.

>>11113281
cute kero

I'm reflashing some knock off Pokemon Silver Version carts I got off ebay with other ROMs using Flash GBX and the program is able to identify and flash these carts just fine, really well actually, however Flash GBX notifies me that these carts are apparently available in both 3.3V and 5V versions and the program wants me to manually select which voltage to use with each cart.

Pic related is a picture of the boards I'm working with. In the circled area FRAM is bridged with a circuit, 3.3V is bridged with a circuit, and 5V has two spots of solder but no circuit bridging it. I'm assuming that these are 3.3 volt boards then?

To be clear these carts seem to work just fine wether I flash the ROM to 3.3V or 5V, so it doesn't seem to matter, but I'm autistic and I want to make sure I'm flashing these carts the *correct* way in relation to the way the hardware is physically designed.

Also, aren't GBC games supposed to run at 5V and GBA games are supposed run at 3.3V? These carts work just fine when I run them on an original Game Boy Color so how do they manage that if they are running at only 3.3 volts instead of 5?

These boards are the same size as a GBA board, but they shipped in a Game Boy size shell with a Game Boy ROM flashed to them, so I'm assuming that china uses one size board for both GBC and GBA game knockoffs and only changes the functionality by which circuits they complete and what kind of ROM/shell they put the board onto/into.

I'm actually pleased with the quality of these knockoffs, but what voltage should I flash them at?

Let's be real about the state of smw hacking for once
>90% of the hacks are soulless nigger slop that entirely focus on custom code and having "good" graphics (plastering shit from random games all at once)

>the entire community is a clique where only 10 users ever talk constantly sucking eachothers dick (jumpteam) and the rest are left shadowed or ignored
>all of the tools are nigger bloat and fuck up your rom one way or another, addmusic is unoptimized nigger garbage, custom block tools are retarded and can nuke your rom, barely any tools cooperate or know basic things about the SNES and fuck shit up

>uberasmtool is retarded garbage coded by a retarded brazilian who doesn't understand basic shit like clearing everything inserted before inserting new data making it impossible to work with in a low rom size enviorement

Only thing is that it has some weird graphical glitches that aren't in the non-translated version (and I'm 99% sure it's patched correctly, but let me know if you see anything too strange). Do you happen to know what exactly is translated? It seems like it may be just one of those early 2000s "practice hacks", on first look.

Yes, absolutely. I meant to say "but I got the game working" and only because I just found a pre-patched file of it... (same version confirmed, though: v. 0.4)

>time to move on to hacking sonic instead boys
is an extreme glass-house based resolution (and I just posted some Sonic hacks I think look/are cool). Let's instead sift the good hacks from both the Sonic AND Mario communities, I say.

>Ha! Hope it's a good time, anon. To be clear, I usually upload what looks interesting to me, not what I've played through, necessarily. I have barely scratched the surface of any of these hacks, honestly.
When I said this before, I fear I came off as saying I don't like any of these hacks and perhaps am mocking others for wanting to try them. To be clear, I just meant that I'm not trying to pressure my /hbg/ang brothers to play them if they don't want to. I'm actually trying to play through VeteranEye on 00 Agent and Daisy's Crazy Adventure (which is the first Mario World hack I've put effort into playing through since that "Beta Edition" one from several years back, and I think it's a little charming even though most Internet-based Daisy memes (of which are prevalent in this hack, to be sure) are very cringe - also, it isn't one that I was planning on putting in that "My Recommended Mario World Hacks" project that I mentioned I took up (though it will rather be "Super Mario World Hacks that Look Cool" project, since I suck at almost all of these and thus can't honestly highly recommend any of them)). Sorry for any misunderstandings, anons.
