Thank you very much anon. And you used the exact picture I was wanting for the OP post. Nice!

The bump limit had apparently been reached (probably is 150 posts on this board), so the last thread wouldn't bump anymore no matter how many times you post in it afterwards. That essentially means the last thread is dead, even though it hasn't left the catalog yet, so we want to make sure that we get a new thread going while we can.

>>11118259

Cool, thanks for the find, anon. Here's the dl link for it http://parisoft.itch.io/street-fighter-ii-ne-demo

Is anyone here in Insectduel's SMB3 hacking Facebook group? There are apparently many mini-hacks not available elsewhere, I'd appreciate it if one of you guys shared them on here.

Woodfrog’s original Super Nintendo-like gender bending krion conquest

>>11116868
Reminds me of Mega Man The RPG forum (run by a Swede named Super Shadowman) shutting down (which was a (now lost) amateurish but really fun fan game, with things like Mystical Ninja 64 references and a bunch of other fun stuff) it's also where I first found about 4chan in 2005-2006

>>11118556

Yea, hopefully someone defiant enough leaks the group's levels to the public, he's being an asshole by withholding them.

>>11118886
>answer the mandatory question
w-what's the question

Just finished Super Metroid Verticality and it was fucking sick. The sprite and music edits were a little underdone but it nailed the gameplay. Even Subversion, my favorite Super Metroid hack, had filler backtracking and confusing areas but Verticality just keeps pushing you forward. But it didn't feel linear because there's lots of alternate paths, side content, and optional tricks. Wall jumping lets you shit all over some obstacles but not enough to make it too easy or boring and it just works really well

>>11119014

i've been kicking around the idea of making a tile-based graphics accelerator for FPGA, like how 4th gen systems and earlier worked.
anyone into FPGA development in this thread?
it's not something i recall seeing in /hbg/ before.
would anyone find this project interesting itt?

>>11119092
Good to hear. It's next in my SM hack list. I just really need to clear out so. E official games first. I do some of my official game backlog and the take a breather with some fangames and hacks before more backlog clearing.

hack of F-1 Race?

>>11120392
Nope, but good guess. New homebrew game called "G-ZERO World GP". Download link is in the last thread (see the second post and the last post reply in that post). It plays more like F1-Race than F-Zero, though, and it has kind of a C64/Eurocringe overdone soundtrack, but it's definitely pretty interesting.

My friend are creating RPG game on GB Studio using a RPG battle system created by ferrethallstudios on Itch.io. When was done, the numbers on battle are mess, the numbers are up and down madly, My friend asked how fix it to ferrethallstudios, but he not answered.

Is there a way to make a custom FONT.ROM for PC-98? I used yy-CHR to edit some of it but when I load it into Neko Project I don't see a change. Do individual games have their own formats? I'm tinkering with Touhou 2 and feel like an idiot. Only managed to change the titles on the music room through hex editing

>>11123601
I don't know anything about PC-98, but it sounds like FONT.ROM is a system font. Maybe the game in question uses its own font instead? In that case, you'd have to edit the game itself.

>>11123947
Yeah that seems to be the case but I cannot find the game's font when I extract the HDI in EditDisk. I'm guessing it's using a custom format

>>11123207
People should try to port some PC Engine games to PC-FX, like some devs are currently doing NES to SNES ports.

>>11124198
We see PCE-CD port over

>>11124198
>like some devs are currently doing NES to SNES ports.
What's the use case of this?

>>11124220
Games can run better without relying on emulator overclocks, MSU-1 audio support, expanded color palettes, posibility of further modding. In theory we can see something looking like Mesen HD packs running on SNES console.

>>11124229
>MSU-1 audio support, expanded color palettes, posibility of further modding
I'd argue this veers onto "remaster" territory.
>Games can run better without relying on emulator overclocks
Fair enough.

>>11124229
Sounds like they'd be better off porting to Mega Drive.

>>11124198
what for? pce games don't usually have much slowdown.

>>11124650
Porting to the SNES is actually easier because the SNES has the same CPU as the NES (just very slightly upgraded), the same low resolution as the NES, and graphics are in a similar format. The Mega Drive would require a full port built from the ground-up. There may be the possibility that a general purpose NES emulator could be created for the Mega Drive which would more easily allow for NES ports, though. There are already emulators like that, but I don't think they are allowed to be used for port projects by others. It may also be harder to add enhancements that way, versus just building a new port in SGDK.

>>11124668
So that PC-FX would have actual games.

>>11124671
just port to pc engine honestly

>>11124871
What if:
>port Super Mario Bros. to PC-FX
>include the entirety of 1986 anime film as cutscenes to fit the spirit of the console

>>11124871
I agree in principal that the SNES ports of NES games are silly and needless, I just understand why they are being made. The PC Engine hardware would be easier for ports of NES games than the Mega Drive, but the SNES is really the easiest system for it, sadly, and that's simply a result of the SNES being an "upgraded" NES.

>>11124929
I'm not so sure there's much of an easiness difference. the PC Engine was also designed as a sort of upgraded nes and it's more straightforward than the SNES. especially on the audio side. since it's going to run the same code at 4x the speed, you could probably just emulate nes audio with the extra CPU time left over. it's just a matter of tracking how the channels are configured and playing the correct waveforms and envelopes.

>>11124929
>>>/nigger/

>>11124919
Sucks that Toru Furuya became full dipshit.

>>11124943
>especially on the audio side.
The audio side is addressed, as the SNES ports of NES games simply use an SPC-700 NES audio emulator by Memblers which handles sound translation "automatically". Which, funnily enough, totally negates the idea of ever upgrading the audio. PC Engine is probably not significantly harder for NES ports than the SNES, but it is harder by some amount, and that is the sole reason these SNES ports are being made.
Hey, give it to them, it's not like anybody else is making SNES homebrews.

>>11124945
Hush dear, the grown-ups are talking.

If only Rolfee-chan joined smash bros fighter pass.

>>11124919
VGH!

>>11124982
Unfortunately, Rolfee is owned by an ISP company. I'm not even sure if they know about her.

>>11124980
actually there's already nes2pce, which does a lot of the work for you automatically. the project stopped when interest never materialized

>>11124992
Does Konami acquired them?

>>11125108
Konami had acquired Hudson Soft. PC Engine and PC-FX were co-owned by Hudson Soft and NEC Home Electronics. The latter company was dissolved and its property transferred to NEC Biglobe, which currently no longer has any ties to NEC.
On all media featuring Rolfee, she is always explicitly copyrighted by NEC Home Electronics, meaning that Konami has no stake in her current ownership.

>>11125117
What her color palette (panties)?

>>11125242
I can't answer that question because PC-FX uses YUV colorspace and I can only deal with RGB values.

>>11124980

Why are kaizo SMW hacks the de facto standard nowadays? The gimmicks, graphics, and even humor are amazing in many hacks, but they're all fucking Kaizo shit that I don't want to sink hours into trying to beat 1 level. Standard hack creators are being replaced and becoming a minority in their own community.

>>11125904
Because it gets encouraged. My main issue is when it influences other hacks it has no business in. Apparently the latest VLDC allowed full on kaizo levels? The style showed up in the previous one too, combined with the fucking JUMP influence of making the levels retardedly long and drawn out for no reason.

>>11124761
Cute little dialogue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA4VBZnuZYU

people need to make more 6 button hacks for the genesis. so many games could benefit from it.

games that need a 6 button hack:
castlevania bloodlines (dedicated sub weapon button)
Crusader of Centy
Earthworm Jim 1&2 (weapon switching)
gunstar heroes
Landstalker
the wily wars (on top of other QoL hacks)
Sonic 3 (X to deactivate super)
Monster World IV
rocket knight 1&2
Shadow Dancer
Shinobi 2
Shadowrun
Skeleton Krew
Soldiers of Fortune (The Chaos Engine)
Streets of Rage 2
trouble shooter 1 and 2 (battle mania)
Turrican 1, 2, 3
vectorman 1&2,
ys iii

>>11126879
do it yourself
you sound autistic enough

>>11126879
>Sonic 3 (X to deactivate super)

You don't need a 6 button mod to do this.
None of the Sonic hacks that implement a super-activation, super-cancel, flight-cancel, or special moves ever needed extra buttons because you already had three face buttons with identical functionality.

Whoever made that Alien Soldier 6-button mod happens to have made a lot of Castlevania improved controls mods, but not one for Bloodlines.

Just found out about some kinda romhacking.net stuff from the happenings thread (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXpuRIZzJog); don't know if this helps anyone but I've still got this semi-finished /hbg/ links rentry if it helps anyone with archiving things (was still working on the basic romhacks stuff from the bottom-up; but most of the homebrews were sorted).
After Anonfile got nuked, I put it on hold because of the time needed to sit down and clean it up properly, but with RHDN getting fucked over by some discord tranny drama bullshit (hopefully the links don't die); it's probably appropriate to post it again in case some Anon with time on their hands could find any use for it. If nobody does I'll try to get around to it again (I'll check the offsite archives to skim what I've missed posted ITT's), but I'm busy as fuck right now and just don't have immediate time to spare for like a month minimum because real life.

i need to write a script to turn all the .ips files into roms

>>11127874
Running patchers from the command line is super easy. The tricky part is matching all those patches to the right roms. The 'Hacks' table from romhacking.sql in https://archive.org/details/romhacking.net-20240801 lists the correct rom and checksum for each patch but sadly instead of a nice column for each it's all lumped together in a nonstandard block of text marked 'rominfo'

>>11127369
Drama shit of course. Pity, I wanted to submit my project to that site in a few months when I eventually get it done.

>What is it with retro game communities and trannies, at this point it's basically guaranteed that any people that stay in this hobby for 10+ years will 100% troon out

Reminds me of the Linux community. There seems to be a correlation between computer/electronic related interests and trooning out. Maybe because it's such a magnet for mentally unstable dudes. Seeing romhacking.net die makes me really sad, though. Reminds me of when the Whirlpool died.

>>11128035

Seems conflicting with my skim of the shituation,
>NC (Nightcrawler?) is an early 00's oldschool guy, running an early 00's oldschool site; probably in his late 40's at the youngest at this point, considering the timeframe, might even be knocking on his late 60's oldest
>Stuck in his ways, what werks werks, never bothered to learn anything else because he hasn't needed to
>Has not budged on anything in years, regardless of the cost / benefit
>His site staff have a different opinion (since his refusal to budge is causing problems, like days-long site outages when he's not around to fix them), and try to get him to budge over to AWS (Amazon Webservice?) for cheaper hosting or something

>>>{This is where the cloudy he-said she-said shit starts, not sure from here on}

>Clear rift forms between oldschool NC and his nu-age admin team who are all in a shitcord together
>NC doesn't want to budge on things but puts a small amount of effort on his end to see if it helps the people in his admin team whining at him, but gets spooked off and doesn't go all the way - backend stays as it was before, leaving him confused, the people who wanted to help dissatisfied, and everybody frustrated
>Shit happens?
>This is possibly where he's doxxxed / blackmailed?
>NC puts his hands up and just doesn't want to deal with this shit no more
>also Near is involved on the anti-NC side somehow (IIRC Near was the foxdick farms tranny that is either anheroed or is faking it) (don't know, don't care, don't know why they're involved in this, all I know is that my gut feeling is shitcord gayops are afoot)
If anyone else has a more clarified PoV I'd be down to hear it; seems most likely like he was like Hiroyuki in that he was mostly hands-off, and Lowtax in that the site drastically changed in userbase / admin from what he personally wanted to use it like.

My main concern is honestly if all the links are going to stay up or not, and for how long.

>>11127848
>>Nightcrawler, the owner of RHDN troons out
Do you have a source for this or did you just make it up due to being obsessed with trannies?
>>11128174 seems more accurate based on Nightcrawler's forum post and https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1819215914988196204.html

All my romhacks aren't even hosted anywhere except on romhacking.net. I guess it's time to make a github account, any other alternative?

Could be.
There are 3 ways to display text on the PC-98:
1. Simpler way to do it is write to Character RAM (Sogna's Viper and Animahjong do this)
2. Read from Character ROM then display it as you would a sprite. It's more flexible as you can process the glyph to make it bold or with an outline. Most games use this method.
3. Have your custom font that's just 1bpp data. Usually only for ASCII characters, numbers or icons. So used with method 2 for Japanese characters. Seen in D.O./ZyX engine, Dragon Master Silk 2, Branmarker 2, Record of Lodoss War.

So... Can anyone explain what actually happened to RHDN? The official explanation doesn't seem to elaborate on much and other people have said stuff but it isn't really a clear timeline or any receipts. Some people are also blaming another site called Romhacks.org. So, what happened?

>>11129476
Site owner wanted to quit hosting the website, terminally online moderators living in discord demanded to transfer control to them, site owner decided that moderators are weird and refused.

And from what I'm hearing these moderators also tried doxing the creator?
So I'm guessing the timeline is something like the owner hires new mods to try and revive the site, the new mods turn against him on discord and try to sabatoge him, so the owner shuts down the site? Is that what it is? What does romhacking.org fit in then?

Gideon Zhi of Aeon Genesis (AGTP) posted a Twitter thread explaining his side of things.
https://twitter.com/GideonZhi/status/1819216091710959727
AGTP is prolific for making loads of fan translations over the years, with Cave Story being one of the most notable.

The short of it is that Nightcrawler, the lone owner and operator of RHDN, was too controlling over what is a community created content site and didn't take offers for help.

Romhacks.org meanwhile is a site maintained by the CDRomance guy; to distribute ROM patches rather than pre-patched ROMs as CDRomance is popular for.
RHDO however was never widely adopted and one of their moderators caused some real shit for them by actively trying to sabotage RHDN and broadcasting that they were doing it.
https://cdromance.org/news/romhacking-net-to-stop-hosting-romhacks-rhdn-drama/

Under the circumstances, I'm wondering if Romhacking.com will take things up.
Right now it's basically only Super Mario 64 hacks, but it has the innovative Parallel Launcher which makes it piss easy to launch a SM64 hack directly from your browser and play it in a highly compatible N64 emulator.
Either way RHDN is over and I'd like to see a properly managed site pick up the slack, whether that's RHDO or RHDC.

>>11129513
His side of the story isn't necessarily any more accurate.

I unpacked the game using a toolkit I found on shrinemaiden (MysticTK) and it looks like this particular case is using method 2. The font is in a folder ZUN.COM that's common among all the Touhou games on PC-98 but I can't figure out how to edit it. When I open it on YY-CHR it's all jumbled and looks compressed. I guess I have to decompress it myself before editing but I have no idea where to start. There are other bitmaps using the .BFT and .PI formats that are not compressed but the font uses a custom one. I asked about it on shrinemaiden but that forum is really dead

The Tokugawa forum talks about Japanese computers:
http://fullmotionvideo.free.fr/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=1
I haven't touched those systems, but this may or may not help. Computers always have their own, native graphics editors and whatnot. The guy that was doing that Rusty hack on here months ago was using some software where he extracted the file onto the PC98 emu and edited the graphics through the emu. This is a list of graphics editors for PC98, FM-Towns and other computers:

I had a look at the tools and the file ALL.PI was missing. I thought it would be a good name for UI stuff and font. But it turns out that no.

ZUN.COM is the launcher executable and the font data could be somewhere inside. I'll keep searching here.

>>11130356
>>11129958
omg thank you anon

Why was ALL.PI missing? It was the first thing I found on my part. I used an online convertor to png to view it but didn't touch it after. I heard of a convertor called ViX that can do PI > PNG and vice versa but can't find it. It was mentioned on this thread https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=19048.30

>Why was ALL.PI missing?
I skipped some of my sentence. I meant ALL was missing from Th02Dec.bat, the batch that converts to BMP.
Anyway, looking closely while running this batch, I noticed some of the files give an error : Could not detect BFNT header.

These are MIKOFT.BFT and ENDFT.BFT. Opening MIKOFT.BFT as a RAW image in IrfanView (1bpp, width = 16, height = 256, skip 32), here's what I get!

I guess the image converter doesn't handle 1bpp images.

>>11130389
I think you could edit Mikoft.bft with YYCHR (format 1BPP 16x16), just be sure to never change a single pixel of the character in the top left before 0.

This is supposed to be SNES? It looks nothing like it. The garish color palette and the sound make it look like GBA.
Props to the author for coding this for SNES but what's the point if the actual game is garbage. The gameplay looks brainless and the boss animations are outright embarrassing.

Thanks a lot anon! I did this on Touhou 02 but I couldn't repack the data for some reason. Touhou 5 that I'm tinkering with now seems to work totally differently as well... Thanks for all your help, the MIKOFT.BFT seems to contain the graphics for the title screen options and sidebar but I'm p sure the dialogue uses something else. Afaik from the ReC98 documents the dialogue is hard coded

>>11130832
I'm assuming that this is still in relatively early development considering there's a bit of a lack of sound effects (they are pretty weak and subtle, are they placeholders?).

The spritework isn't mindblowing, but I'd call it adequate (it does look more GBA than SNES though), while I'd say what needs more work is the movement and physics, and some more work on animations, making them feel a bit more weighty.
I think the current overall graphics would look and feel much better if the animations were improved.

>>11130961
You could use this same excuse for Crazy Bus

>>11120682
>>11120685
It does remind me of some old Amiga platformers (or for that matter some old DOS platformers), with the levels being very much constructed out of square tile graphics on a grid.
The game uses a lot more color than typical, which is impressive in a way, but compare to the graphical design you may see in many Capcom, Konami, Natsume, and Namco games for the SNES, where the backgrounds and environments can be lavishly detailed.

This whole building block approach is its own aesthetic, though there's ways to improve its appearance to make it look less artificial and "gamey" such as by creating some variants for each type of tile, which you can scatter here and there, and then making stuff like "edge" tiles, where for instance the left and right sides of a brick building there is given shading to make them look like they have rounded corners.

>>11120624
Absolute dogshit. Keep posting this, we'll say it everytime until you hire an artist to undo that abortion of pixel art.

>>11131102
I don't think that's an appropriate comparison, considering Crazy Bus had VERY little work put into it at all. You may not love what you're seeing in that video (I'm certainly not blown away myself), but the author still put a lot of work into the sprites and making boss encounters and all.
If this was presented as a finished and complete game, then I would be decidedly less optimistic and tell the dev to get the fuck back to work, but it looks like it's maybe ~35% finished or so, thus I can't dismiss it as a whole unless he throws in the towel.

>>11131119
I don't come here a lot. How often does he post it? Has the game looked like this for 7 years or what?

Unfortunately, this is the future of the internet.

>>11131838
It's weird that there are people that can make really cool mods but can't make a website.

Does modDB allow rom hacks? Why doesn't everyone simply use modDB?

>>11131898
I thought that was just for PC games.

>>11131896
Those people don't have a need for websites. Discord is the Internet for them. The World Wide Web is dead, long live a single privately-owned network of overengineered chatrooms.

>>11131945
Nope, the about section says it's for "video games"

"Mod DB is the world's oldest video game modification community, proudly serving millions of readers monthly who seek creative new gameplay experiences"

Everyone's reinventing the wheel for no reason.

>>11131898
GameBanana and itch.io allow hacks. There are quite a few Paper Mario hacks on itch.io since their Discord mods had enough of a brain to use the site for their "Hack Jams". If someone wanted to set up GitHub Pages to host their hack on a simple webpage, they could also do that instead of just having the source in the GitHub with the patches only available in the Discord. Those types refuse to upload the patches into the source tree or the "Releases" section.
All of these sites from itch.io to RHDO will still censor things like RHDN did with their preferred politics, but itch.io and GameBanana will allow nude mods while RHDO won't. I can expect a spicy debate over whether RHDO will host the Fire Emblem Engage translation.

A few months ago I saw a SNES ROM that was basically a demo of the hi-rez mode, featuring a Cheep Cheep. Does anyone have it?

>I did this on Touhou 02 but I couldn't repack the data for some reason.

The repacking worked for me on unmodified files. Maybe a file you changed is no longer valid?

>I'm p sure the dialogue uses something else
Yeah, they seem to use the system font, so you were right trying to change it in the beginning. Maybe try again changing the font in Neko Project 2 : I had to restart the emulator for the change to be effective. Drew some horizontal lines on the latin caps to really see the font was changed.

>Afaik from the ReC98 documents the dialogue is hard coded

Yes. The Stagex.Txt files only handle the dialogs with bosses. The rest is scattered in the various executables and will require some hacking.

>>11132420
Oops, wrong pic, that was my test with Anex86 fonts.
The trick with NP2 seems to change the font file then Emulate > Reset to apply the new font.

>>11117007
From common sense, the jumper is placed at 3.3V so it is operating at 3.3V.

If you want to be sure, look at which pin is the power supplied in the flash chip, then measure it with a multimeter while running.

But really, if you flash it and read the data back and it is the same, you flashed it right.

Also, in the future when you do not know, you should try the lowest option and if it succeed, you stop. You cannot damage anything that way.

What are the realistic challenges with operating something like this? Is it worth hosting all of the major archives of mods, or would there be any tangible advantage to narrow the focus to hosting stuff which is just rare, forgotten, or which other sites refuse to host for political or "moral" reasons?
Or would it not make much difference and it's just better if the site works as a full utility?

I know preciously little about running a site or hosting an archive, obviously.
It might be advantageous to do some kind of Sadpanda approach where the servers are hosted somewhere where authorities don't give a fuck about piracy/"piracy", to hold off Nintendo's goons, and the site doesn't delisted because someone uploaded their Cunnyvania romhack.

>>11133203
The real problem is Cloudflare. That is basically a service a lot of website providers use for hosting sites. If your content doesn't agree with their guidelines, good luck in that case.

Not related at all, and no, not a /pol/ dude here, but this is why InfoWars got cancelled.

I think you would have to host that kind of website in the Netherlands or some country that doesn't care for piracy.

Most likely it would devulge into torrents which isn't ideal but probably the only way to keep out Nintendo fuckbag lawyers.

>>11128457
>Mario's Mystery Meat
If you watch Vinesauce, maybe. I don't watch him, so the hack was just a bunch of retarded lolsorandumb nonsense with some decent ASM. The level design certainly wasn't good enough to carry it.

>>11133331
There's other places besides Cloudflare, and you can avoid a lot of the casual normalfag scrutiny by plain hiding access and visibility of any kind of controversial content behind a login and account option. Gelbooru and other sites do that for loli and shota content and stuff, and it's not 100% ideal, but it provides a layer of protection.

I would almost have suggested asking if that Null guy would be willing to provide DDOS protection, since he developed his own after Cloudflare dropped him, but I think that this would not benefit either him or this hypothetical archive, that'd create another attack vector against him, which he probably doesn't want, and it would also create an association motivating people to fuck with the archive who otherwise would not necessarily care much, if at all.
I think he said that creating and operating your own DDOS protection is a lot easier than people think, so if that ends up becoming a real concern at some point, maybe we would just have to figure that out.

>>11133364
I don't know why someone would ever recommend a work which is built around a specific circle's injokes and memes, unless it was to someone who was in those circles.

>>11133203
>What are the realistic challenges with operating something like this?
If you are hosting your own server, the cost of the server and the network connection and all the HDD space to handle the data plus regularly replacing the HDD's. If not, the cost of renting the server and bandwidth and HDD space. On top of that, site design, standardizing user submissions and having people check the submissions to make sure some bad actor isn't using the site to upload viruses, some form of forums as well as admins to handle the forums, and if you want to actually replace RHDN you'll want a searchable database for everything with lots of different filters and criteria to search by.
Oh, and you'll need to oversee all of it yourself to ensure your admins don't end up getting overrun by terminally-online wanna-be tyrants who want to force their own agenda on everyone else. Otherwise, they will.

>>11133364
>Vinesauce
E-celeb not allow

>>11133417
Not around here, no, but I think "This romhack is in large part built on this e-celeb's memes and circlejerks, so don't bother if you're not invested in any of that, and it's nothing special beyond that." is a pretty fair opinion with a neutral tone to it.

>>11134204
I don't think vengeance is going to very easy nor very productive, and consider that much of RHDN's dysfunction came from bad top leadership to begin with, Nightcrawler wasn't exactly managing the place well, or even really managing it at all, so he basically allowed this stupid shit to happen, this has been in the making for a decade.

If any of us is going for any kind of venture here, it should be to build our own archive which just stands on its own merits, and that should be the focus.

>>11135665
Exhentai would probably be able to do it, we would be hosting and providing a very low volume of content compared to what they turn over on the daily. The problem is that the faggot who runs the site is a stubborn retard.
>"We have too much content on the servers so we have to get rid of pagination, but we're not going to do anything to sift out absolutely worthless machine translated doujins or people shitting out gigs and gigs of AI slop which nobody asked for! WHAT? How dare you disagree with me and call my new implementation bad? This must be a conspiracy!"

How are Gurochan doing with hosting? I didn't even know they were still alive.

>>11135809
I think there's two kinds of Ideas Guys, one who has zero relevant skills for the venture in question, and the other who does, and he provides ideas while being in tune with the project.

If you look at a lot of smaller game dev teams in old days, usually most of the guys on there had ideas in addition to what they were bringing to their table with their real skillset, like the guy who does the sound and music might do at least partial playtesting and give input on the gameplay, or the guy who does the engine realizes "Ahah, I can make the engine do THIS, the guys should try putting that in the game!"

>>11135703
Not their fault not many executors are around to make it happen.

>>11135908
Coming up with ideas is nice and all, but you should learn some sort of skillset which you can contribute with. Someone who only has ideas is little more than a fifth wheel assuming a project is even in swing.

All mod/hack sites that don’t allow nude tiddies should just die, kek. I don’t really care what happens to any of them, anymore, when these types are the ones imploding and sabotaging themselves, anyway. PokeCommunity, SMWCentral, Sonic Retro, RHDN, RHDO; the list goes on, and they attract the most annoying, moronic users.
You can see how they cause the most problems, make dumb arguments and turn the entire site into a “SFW” cesspool that worships Dicksword. They scare off potential hackers with their annoying ways, barely helping anyone that asks and can’t organize anything they’re doing properly. After the noobs get bored of trying to reason with the pretentious userbase, they move on to things like making PC mods since those sites have articulated better tutorials and an easier entry level. All the modding & hacking sites with nude tiddies like GameBanana, NexusMods, LoversLab and itch.io, despite the other levels of censoring things, continue to generate more active users compared to most of these moronic, anti-tiddie hacking sites that remain filled with whiny troglodytes.

>People with their heads pretty far up their asses are even trying to blame romhacks.org
lol. I dunno man it really wasn't much of a stretch to think they may have had something to do with it considering past aggression. Not really a "head up your ass" assumption to make at all. Just sayin.

>>11132449
Thanks for the response Anon. I'll tinker around with it some more.

>>11128219
>any other alternative
Archive.org is where I go. They have a good track record when it comes to hosting pir8ed stuff and their whole mission is to preserve content, so if you upload your roms anywhere it may as well be there.

>>11138214
I always try to give benefit of the doubt to somebody who's having fun but those dudes just wallow in shit. Couldn't close out his post without taking a lazy swipe at romhacking.com too, which had nothing to do with anything

>>11138134
He's right, the prudes need to fuck off.

>>11138234
RHDO absolutely was responsible. They've been fucking with the site for months straight, and RHDN goes down right after conversations with RHDO go south. Not to mention immediately after RHDN goes down they start shilling their fucking site. They're doing a dogshit job hiding it.

>>11138413
Dont forget Marcan / Hector Martin
33 year old lolicon troon and his little gayboy Byuu becoming an hero in a discord call with him,
Hes tied to this too
Dont believe me? Why did Nightcrawler mention Byuu and the next day AFTER the news post, some other troon has a mental breakdown and threatens to an hero as well

>>11138214
Those people are braindead lol. Btw RHDO is 10000% responsible and the community will never endorse the site, will actively work against its growth

>>11138423
even if they aren't responsible (very unlikely), they're fucked at this point. the majority of the romhacking community believes them to be responsible and if they aren't then the people who don't will be alienated.

>>11134229
This is the correct approach, if someone truly hates the degens enough, they will be the bigger man and make a proper archive.
Spike is a monkey not for posting prepatched roms, but for being involved with these people and not disowning them all. He should be coming out as a far right winger who hates everything to do with the antichrist at this point yet hes trying to skirt this all under the table since hes basically running rhdo. TOO bad fgt.

>>11134229
building archives hasn't exactly worked in the past (look at RHDN)

>>11138432
It was fine. Those idiot troons used "wahhhh old inefficient cost ineffective" as a means of getting their hands all over the project to uproot it. There was nothing wrong with it besides the slow moderation and the lefty infestation. Both of which could be fixed if we had a based alternative

>>11138425
Lol maybe spike shouldnt have been like, "oh yeah Kando is this cool dude who helped us port things over and we have a whole team" one look at the fucking timeline and it's defense of gay furry trannies with ttyd avatars. Birds of a feather man lmao. Fuck him and fuck his sites

>>11138446
it's still odd because the site was formed because RHDN was deleting hacks that contained transphobia and stuff and RHDO was formed because they didn't like that.

>>11137805
I get you but

They're just as bad as any of the other mentioned sites. Gamebanana has a SHITTON of a moderation bullshit.

It worked for 20 years and only fell apart because of the shitty mods and discord fags trying to undermine the admin's rule all the time.

>>11139156
The admin was barely wrangling his mods for the past 10 years, he didn't even give a fuck that they were fucking the place up.

>>11139169
True, which is why I said they kept trying to undermine him. Should have done a clean sweep and hired brand new mods and ignore discordfags

RHDN died from bad leadership and and bad faith actors always trying to take over the place and make it even worse than it already was, they almost succeeded too if they hadn't went over that extra line and started threatening the admin.

So did RHDN last for 20 years and only crumble in an instant due to zoomers?

>>11139213
No? You could just fucking follow the immediate conversation, problems were afoot 10 years ago already, the site was already doomed by then, it just finally gave.

No tranny, you people are responsible. Your drama caused a rift in the community, leading to RHDN's eventual destruction. You think we've forgotten what you people did to Tom?

You don't represent 'the community', you represent a vocal minority. A vocal minority that never shuts the fuck up. And is quick to silence/ban anyone that disagrees with you. There's no point in even trying to engage with you people.

I've seen the same bullshit play out in other fanbases, time and time again. A group of highly vocal faggots ruins it for everyone else and eventually that fanbase fractures. At which point usually two or more sites emerge from the remains, til two those eventually fade into obscurity too.

Shit like that keeps happening cause you're the problem. Like you said, "will actively work against its growth". You're cancer incarnate. Get fucked.

I forgot to ask but did you encounter anything odd with the ROM after editing it? I edited the MIKOFT.BFT and didn't touch anything else (besides the system font) but now whenever I open the score screen or reach Mima the screen goes white and sometimes crashes. The ZUN splash screen also glitches out. Did this happen to you or am I fucking something up lol

>>11140816
It's mostly focused on rehosting "controversial" mods which have gotten removed from the major modding sites.

It works fine for me. I used the hdi image from the Neo Kobe PC-98 collection on archive.org and drag and dropped 東方封魔.録 in the correct folder.

Still, I usually don't use this technique and prefer deleting then copy the file to the disk image instead of updating it. I've had some weird behaviors updating files, like they were truncated yet the programs (anexdiet or NDC) didn't raise an error.

What you can try is to use a fresh disk image of the game, delete the data file then copy your modified data file.

Also be wary that the repacking script takes all the files in the th02 folder, so be careful that there aren't any temporary files in this folder.

there's a troon mod who spends 18 hours a day deleting comments in this thread.

>>11141634
Thanks. I did this just now and the title screen no longer glitches out but the HISCORE screen still does. It looks like picrel. I saw on the ReC98 blog that the score screen is copy-pasted from MAINE.exe so maybe something related to it got corrupted when repacking?

I first erased the 東方封魔.録 and TOUHOU.DAT then inserted my edited ones but it did the same. I got a different clean copy and only added 東方封魔.録 then it led to picrel

>>11141707
About the file update, I think it's a bug with how the disk image editor handle FAT. I once spent hours trying to figure out why a picture I had extracted and imported back looked glitchy while the files looked alright on my disk.

I see your score screen is in English. Did you change the strings in the executable with a hex editor?

>>11141724
No I didn't touch anything with hex. I only changed the number and sidebars (score bombs etc) in the mikoft.bft. Everything else is as is. I thought it was because I changed a pixel I missed or something when you said this >>11130474 so I made a fresh copy and it initially ran fine. Then I edited the 0 (on the second half, not the half I'm not supposed to touch) and it started the same issue. I guess editing the mikoft itself is the problem

>>11139247
Nigger, it doesnt take 10 years to dox and shittalk someone behind their back, that happened very quickly. Braindead ape.

>>11141734
Make sure that the first 32 bytes are exactly the values in pic-related after editing. The thing is a 16x16 1bpp character is also 32 bytes, so the garbled pixels before the 0 you can see in YYCHR is in fact the header of the image file.

I'm still puzzled by the English text. In my version, only STAGE and TYPE are in English, the rest is in Japanese.

>>11141814
And zoomers did it yeah?

>>11141887
I'll check it out and see what changes
>puzzled by the English text
I'm using the English patched .HDI I got from the PC-98 translation archive on internet archive, not the original Japanese rom. Would not be surprised if this ends up being the problem after all

>>11141146
its down

>>11141887
The first 32 bytes are unchanged. I'll look for a Japanese rom and see if the same problem arises. Now instead of a glitched opening screen the game just doesn't launch... (Tried Neko Project and Anex86)

>>11141919
>>11141938
After extracting and repacking a couple of times I noticed I keep getting a file called TOUHOU.BMP outside of the th02 and th02_source files. When I opened it on a viewer it is the graphic that's rendered on the intro which might be why it crashes. When I insert it into the th02_src folder nothing changes, and when I erase it the repacker throws an error that it can't read it from the .dat. Maybe it keeps crashing because the graphic is duplicated? When I reach Mima in-game it also crashes because Mima's sprite seems to be duplicated which slows down the game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmQ-npRFhNY

>>11142012
Ah. I now have the same hi-score glitch as you with the repacked data when I update the English disk image.

TOUHOU.DAT is only this intro image, same format as BFT images, and isn't an archive per se.
The tools indeed assume that there will be a TOUHOU.BMP in the root folder, that may be shared by all 5 games. So no need to put in in th02 or th02_src, or even update TOUHOU.DAT in your disk image if you don't change this BMP.

Well, I'll have to investigate some more.

>>11142173
Dang. So it might really be an issue on the English patch's end. Where did you get your Japanese ROM? I noticed the English version's intro screen has extra text in the bottom left that isn't in the Japanese version. It might be related

>>11142215
Just tried it on the Japanese ROM. The same problem occurs. What da hell

>>11142215
Also from Internet Archive

https://ia600401.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/18/items/NeoKobe-NecPc-98012017-11-17/doujinHomebrew.zip

Scroll down to ZUN

I noticed there was 1 more file in the repacked archive due to a small blunder in Th02Com.bat:
CALL MysticTK\PIDEF.EXE c th02_src\BOMB1PI.BMP th02\BOMB1PI.PI

should be
CALL MysticTK\PIDEF.EXE c th02_src\BOMB1PI.BMP th02\BOMB1.PI

But it still doesn't work and the repacked archive is still a bit bigger than the original. Weird.

>>11142305
Have you tried using MysticTKCRT (win95+) instead of the standard (winxp+)? The other one here http://lunarcast.net/mystictk.php

Time for a /sqt/-tier question: How do I make a 16-bit pointer for the 6502? I have a map of pointers in ROM that point to various "tiles" that I'd like to use.
I can't really load these tiles into VRAM though because this is the Atari 2600.

>>11141814
It can, however take 10 years for financial death to occur.
RHDN unfortunately hasn't been profitable ever, and it was getting too expensive to run even with an income and exceptional amounts of donations.

>>11143084

>>11141006
This is my issue with the site. I like the idea of a romhacking site where anything goes, but based mods just comes across as an archive more than a website to submit content to. I hope the creator re-does the site layout and starts encouraging people to submit original hacks, because it would be great to see a site with mods that don't act like their Castro.

Anyone here able to tackle this? Requested by the anon in the following posts >>11140562

Naw, he's attacking me for suggesting that RHDN wasn't economically viable since the late 2000s at the earliest.

>>11143995
No fucking kidding it's not economically viable, it's a website about romhacks, there's no real way to make money on that as a venture which won't invite trouble.
The question should probably be if the website is expensive enough that it's annoying to host.

>>11144102
That's what I mean by economically viable.
Economically viable from the stance of someone who has a wage and is contributing that wage almost in full. Think SA before the forums became paid to join. It hasn't been viable to do this for literally over a decade at this point.
By the ways, RHDN also hosts homebrew, and there's literally nothing legally wrong with romhacking(in MOST countries,) provided that they don't redistribute the copyrighted content(the ROM.) This means that while Luna patches are annoying, they are a way to make RHDN completely and utterly legal.
I had to unfortunately specify /most/ countries, because as it turns out, it is illegal in Japan. I think that's actually the only country romhacking is completely and utterly illegal in though, unless some other slightly respectable country wants to chime in.

>and utterly x2
Fuck I only meant it in the last sentence.

I compiled it, then I saw an open issue on the above github which suggests that the codebase is broken. I’ve tried compiling with different commits of 64doom and libdragon, but nothing produces a playable ROM.

I might see if I can debug in an emulator, but that’s kind of beyond my skill level.

Yeah, I figure you need members to make contributions occasionally to keep that kind of place up and running. I believe that the Doomworld people run some sort of monthly donation thing for keeping up their forum, archive and their wiki, and it wasn't actually that much either, as I recall.

Romhacking may be legal (except for in Japan, but that wasn't really unexpected either), but I was more thinking you could probably not run any kind of ads to help with hosting because then you might be approaching the territory of making money on the properties of the games in question.
(Whether it would actually hold up that way in court is another question, but you know faggot publishers wouldn't care about that part).

>>11144196
Show some screen shots.

>>11143207
I think what you're looking for is the LDA (Indirect), Y instruction. Load your 16 bit pointer into Zero Page, set Y to 0 and use LDA (${where you put the least significant byte of the pointer in zero page}), Y. That should get the tile value.

Oh my god this is a fucking thing? Jesus christ...
Thanks anon! Finally explained what the indirect mode did to me.

Why did ROM-hacking more or less fade away? I remember a small period in the late 2000s, early 2010s where it seemed to be all the rage to ROM-hack.
I barely even knew RHDN was closing down most of its operations until recently.

>>11146574
Because it's dying, reverse engineering in general is dying

>Modern games are basically only made on a handful of engines now that have already been documented to hell and back
>The old guard has gotten well, old. And bitter and cynical about it all
>Newcomers find it impossible to learn decades old hacking methods and simply don't bother
>Consequently those oldfags who run the sites simply close down because they aren't getting any attention anymore
>RHDN was dying for years hardly any big submissions got published there and were posted elsewhere first if you were lucky you might have seen a translation for a game you were waiting or an extremely notable hack, otherwise it basically just nothing for months at a time even

>>11146587
There's a bunch of reverse engineering of old console games to make them run natively on modern machines though, basically porting games without having the source code.

>>11146587
>Modern games are basically only made on a handful of engines
Yeah, and..? What of the older games, many of which have tools that make it STUPID easy to mod a lot of them?
>The community is slowly aging out and nothing is replacing it
This bit I recognize, but I'm confused on WHY. It's not like the old guard learned some ancient magicks or some shit that is exclusive to them, and many of them have even taken on pupils before.
Furthermore, ROM-hacking has shit loads of guides and documentation. Sure, some of them are difficult to find, but that's more because Google's algorithm has turned to shit than the fault of the community itself. Hell, internet rot has strangely not affected the ROM-hacking hobby as much as it has other hobbies.
The literal only reason I haven't picked it up myself is because I've been busy. Even then, even with my problems with intelligence and general lack of knowledge, I still understand most of everything that's been presented to me.
>RHDN was dying for ages
I used "barely" for a reason. I had known that RHDN was already suffering YEARS ago, so I had somewhat expected it to go under, though I kinda thought it happened in 2018.

>>11146592
True but so far its mostly limited to n64 games.

>>11146625
Those older games already have hacks done for them. Many of which are still used today even, and are considered good. Of course you could still make your own hack for it if you want
