/vr/ - Retro Games

>>6788774
Alright, clue me in. What stuff from this should I actually want to possess? Are there full unreleased games or something?

>>6788806
I had a dream the other night that this board added gen 6 and then this guy kept spamming and spamming the board for 2 full days before he died in a fiery car accident. Kind of funny, huh?

>>6788785
There's a bunch of early Star Fox 2 prototypes, some unreleased games like Super Donkey and I think some NES Hockey game, and a lot of other beta assets/dev tools for the SNES/N64.

>>6788774
leaks when

>>6789106
Never, bro. Pokemon 64 and Mother 64 are literally just mockups.

>>6789115
there's plenty of beta footage of mother 64, "bro".

Did sixth gen kill us?

>>6788774
.sou anon you bitch, start using GLideN64
https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/releases

>>6789532
i have no idea. last thread just randomly got archived and i don't think it reached the page limit.
>>6789543
nah

Any chance of Conker 64?

>>6789835
pretty sure anything conker-related is in the hands of rare, not nintendo.

>>6789898
That's a bummer

>>6789898
How're you getting on?

>>6790419
what?

alright, no 2d star in this. instead i'll be adding the unused 3d power star texture. i'll be releasing this hack soon, alongside the luigi version.

>>6788774
any ps2 or wii leaks? id love to see some god of war prototypes

>>6791704
Nintendo Gigaleak. NINTENDO. Get it together man.

>>6791704
this is just nintendo. no PS2, and i have no idea if anything involving the wii is in any of this

anything from xbox 360? what about earthbound 64?

it begins

>>6789115
Itoi confirmed Mother 3 for 64DD was 70% complete.

Someone spoke about wario land 4, here's one of its tutorial's quotes (can't find anything on this, have you heard this in game ?)

anonfiles()com/T1A3a6Q2o3/w_v_TUTORIAL_02_aif

is there a comprehensive collection of all original high quality images from the leak, or a particular download that contains all of them?

>>6791843
They're available here and in one of op's links

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qb9FEWnDNmDlwYfAKwO7V_U0tJ8Ko7l-?usp=sharing

Come join us, we're nice

>>6791843
Digging servers don't work together, except for ppg and another one, that's why it's a bit hard to follow

>>6791863
preciate that a whole lot---so many links, couldn't tell where to start XD

>>6791913
man you got that right haha. I'm guessing this one recommended to me is a good place to start? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qb9FEWnDNmDlwYfAKwO7V_U0tJ8Ko7l-?usp=sharing

>>6791946
it's the most organized and ressourced drive shared since the 25th of july

You can stop with these now. There’s no more new interesting information to be found.

>>6792046
It depends on what's interesting for you

>>6788785
SCV4 proto is interesting

>>6791784
The left hand of the Forbidden One

What happened to the nigga on /v/ that was talking about an OOT PC port

>>6790520
You know with the rule change, we all know you were one of the biggest opponents to adding gen 6, just wondering if you’re doing alright since this thread obviously respects you so much haha

>>6792226
also the smk proto with the nice title music, maybe the sm64 english shoshinkai patch (since it probably added the rumble function, but patched the blj); and yoshi's island proto is cool too

>>6792307
Shoshinkai is what Space World used to be called before 1996. You mean the Shindou Edition.

>>6792334
oh yeah, right ^^

>>6792273
Who said I was an opponent to adding gen 6? It's retro now. I've been all for calling the Gamecube/PS2/Xbox retro.

>>6793361
Plus, that's the generation I grew up with.

>>6793361
I can see the problems it created by making the board faster and thus having less capability to discuss older systems. For me it isnt so much a case of "Is it retro?" as "Would it be a good idea to add those consoles' discussions to the board?" After seeing what happened, I agree with those that wanted vr2k and to lump gen 6 in there along with a future place for gen 7.

>>6789106
This image hurts to look at.
It's a good pain though.

>>6790520
The rom hack

>>6792226
and garbage too.

>>6794036
it's going well. i'm almost done with it.

Here he is, boys!

>>6794462
Cool model man :^) is that an original character?

>>6794467
yeah, it's my OC, lario

>>6794068
So is [insert your favorite prototype here]

>>6794462
why he purple

>>6795024
it was more fitting

fuck. problems with luigi have arisen.
his feet clip through the ground, for example.
no matter what i do this happens, so luigi's build might be cancelled until a later date.

>>6795059
:^) was it?

>>6795075
please tell me this isn't a daily dose joke

>>6794462
thanks doc

Bottom half of a mild mannered tree under the correct palette turns into a demon skull.

Any news?

>>6795298 looks like a cat

>>6795310
Depends on what kind you want. Sensationalist "BOWSER FOUND IN OOT AS SECRET BOSS" then no.

Slow, informative, historical game archeology revealing nuanced patterns and facts about game that was never before known by non-devs? Yes

>>6795345
You ever seen a cat with cold, dead, black eyes?

>>6795372
>you ever seen a cat with cold, dead, black skin?

>>6795376
No but that sure sounds spooky

the guy did a luigi version but it only seems to affect the 3rd column

Was bored and made a python script to extract files from all the "Attic" folders that can't be normally "checked out" w/ CVS.
I scanned files for version numbers, & extracted data from each version within each file, preserving hierarchy.

Probably been done already,
but sharing my results here:

I swear to the lord above if Resi0 gets a dump I will never shitpost ever again.

>>6796992
It was but it was stopped for some reason

Are there still leaks coming out or has all of it finally been scrubbed through? Took a while regardless.

>>6797869
We do know there is still some stuff that hasn't leaked to the public yet.

>>6797919
how?

>>6798209
it was teased by some trusted peoples originally.
Like builds and sources for pokemon spin off (mystery dungeon and ranger), DS source code, etc.

>>6798209
We are yet to receive the mystery dungeon beta

>>6796416
Thanks for helping, anon.

>>6797919
I'm putting my hopes on Christmas for another data dump. There were some hints, but were're all just tapping in the dark and at the leaker's mercy.

Does anybody remember this?
assemblergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=1479

At the time it sounded believable, but does the leaked data help us confirm or debunk any of this? Mario Artist compatibility? A clock system? Amusingly a Mario Artist prototype was released not too long ago. Sorry guys if this is nothing, I'm really just bored and waiting for something exciting to happen.

>>6798394
Nothing really confirms or denies it. What makes this story unlikely though is that everything that guy mentions was already mentioned in interviews prior: features like the mask system that you could design yourself with an external program were originally supposed to be in OoT, and was cut when the project was moved from the disk drive to cartridge (actually turned into the mask trade sidequest).

The hack will be officially released today. I was unable to import Luigi properly, upsettingly.

>>6798814
I may have to tweak it a bit, but I still promise a Luigi version will be released today as well.

Daily reminder

>>6798947
Daily reminder that OoT and SM64 survived

good news: don't have to scrap luigi! he's in!

>>6798973
I'm not up on how much of M64's proto content survived but I know there's plenty in screens that is nowhere in the files of OoT proto content. The town for example.

>>6799028
I'm pretty sure all of M64's survived. What we have now is just what Nintendo provided its Chinese branch, iQue. Same with OoT.

>>6799043
>>6798973

Does the Shoshinkai proto still exist? Was it found in the files? Nope. You have to try to rebuild it interpretatively from assets, but you can never get it 100% right or be sure you have exactly the right configuration as all you have to go off of is videos and screens of specific places as reference materials

On the subject of OoT, why the hell is the ique page for it so disorganized, chaotic and unparseable? Just weird nonsense headings like En_F_Obj, En_Nc, etc with tons of noncontent

>>6799086
It might still exist, you never know. I'm holding out hope that it's in Nintendo's files and we'll get it at some point.

>>6799169
I feel like there had to be a central group of 'builds' for specific protos stored on a server for certain games. I can't believe they'd just make one and then throw the files away as if they're Squaresoft. Whether the stuff survived or not given how ... problematic Nintendo's backups seem to be is another matter I guess

its rather hard if not impossible to find extremely detailed information on the specific inner workings (common file types, software, etc) about sony news workstations on the internet . remember the internet, which was supposed to be an overflowing font of in depth knowledge on every single thing you could think of?

>>6799043
That doesn't make sense. Why would they have given them proto content of M64 and Z64, let alone Starfox 2, ALTTP proto content if their job was simply localizing it for Chinese and making iQue-specific tweaks? It seems more likely iQue had FTP credentials that gave them access to an archival server directly at Nintendo and this is why the hacker was able to make off with stuff that iQue would have no reason to have or be given directly

Have any new roms been made with the leaks? Or any roms updated?

>>6790471
This one sounds pretty interesting...
Always wanted to see how much the SFX chip can be pushed

This is somewhat related to this thread but not really, it's just something I don't really know where I can discuss without mods complaining about "b-but that's illegal", and also somewhat technical.

So I hope someone who has been keeping up with leaks in the past 15 years reads this.

I was doing some RE on a gamecube game, and ended up reversing some internal routines for its OS module, the memory allocation to be precise. Now I know the SDK with debugs symbols was leaked years ago. But its source code wasn't. It's a well known fact that the Wii is just an overclocked gamecube with an ARM co-processor/hypervisor, so its SDK is basically a newer version of the gamecube SDK, but the recent leaks from this years only contain the source code for things that ran on the ARM CPU, there wasn't source code that was targeting the PPC CPU.

Still, I googled some symbols and ended up finding this right there:
http://www.pudn.com/Download/item/id/377834.html

It's some chinese file upload site, and this file uploaded in December 2007.

Cont...

>>6799505
Cont
It's some trimmed source code from the Wii SDK. I say trimmed because some file only contain stubbed functions, while other files contain the full original source code (the memory allocation part I was originally interested in).
This is undoubtedly the original source code because there still are copyright notices from Nintendo on some files, and the source code hasn't changed much from the Gamecube era. For example the memory allocation code matched perfectly with the compiled version.
There are a few things of note here:
The description says it's "A small operating system, provide the basic operating system can be, we can refer to", but it's obviously part of Dolphin OS. Was this to hide what it was, or was this used as the basis of another project? The stubbed functions are pretty low level routines, and some file reference the popular SDL library (for its threads?). Maybe it was some chinese teacher that stole that code and reused it for a course? Also you can access the uploader's other file and you can find the source code for the Wii's mathematical functions.

Does anyone know if the full source code of the GC/WII SDK ever leaked or if those are the only parts we have access to?

Can someone please post the SM64 plaque from the gigaleak?

>>6799553
I dont have the one specifically from the leak but...

Also people are unhealthily obsessed with this plaque.

>>6799553
There is no plaque. It doesn't exist.

>>6799553
>sm64 plaque

HOLES IN PEACH

>>6799654
My uncle who works for Jungian Psychologist said what the plaque says varies by person based on their subconscious desires.

>>6799653
eternal star is a good guess but i doubt it's really in english to begin with

You guys want to decipher the plaque, I want to decipher the sign texture

>>6799702
I can kinda make out this:
"I am (???) Mario
(???) my (?????)
Please (???)!"

>>6799693
Japanese use a lot of english in their creative endeavors for whatever reason (see a lot of old Japanese titles that write out Player, lives, etc in english rather than Japanese). Oftentimes with typos and such. There are ALTTP files flat out called Pyramid, ice, fire, Death-Mountain, village, weapon and flower for example.

>>6799673

>>6799758

>>6799693
it says "A secret star lie here~", Daniel Nodd spent some time deciphering it with different combined ways and the hidden Odyssey star proves it. So the inside joke was about a fake star

>>6794462
Could you tell me why Mario is green? And what's with his hat and mustache?

Thanks.

>>6799812

SWITCH
TO
GLIDEN64
ALREADY

>>6800009
No N64 plugin is accurate

>>6800009
is gliden64 hardware compatible ?

>>6800023
GLideN64 is more accurate than Glide64, but switching to paraLLEl would be the closest to hardware compatible. Using Glide64 in 2020 is like using ZSNES. There's zero reason to use it, there are far better alternatives, and this isn't a fringe scenario where someone is trying to emulate on a PC as old as the N64 itself.

>>6800035
>GLideN64 is more accurate than Glide64
Why don't they rename it to something that makes any sense to emphasize that? Like call it Glide64 NEXT rather than capitalizing an L and adding an N?

>>6800080
The same people who were responsible for marketing the Wii U made GLideN64

>>6800080
GLideN64 is a combination of the best parts of GL64, Glide64, and its own original code. That's why it's named the way it is. Yes, the N64 emulation scene is this big of a joke.

>>6800089
So no one

>>6800035
>>6800080
>>6800091

Pass along word to the devs to call it GLide64 Modern, then people will know its better than Glide64

How about purging the word "glide" from the name? Its not the 1990s with 3DFX Voodoo anymore.

>>6800091
Who gives a shit as long as it works?

>>6800170
This is N64 emulation so its all still based on 3DFX Voodoo shit because no one bothers to redo everything

>>6800186
It takes 30 seconds to download GLideN64, extract it to your plug-ins folder, and select it in the settings. You're a fucking imbecile if you willingly use outdated and inaccurate emulation options when there are clearly superior options readily available to you. If you want to play Kirby Super Star, why bother using SNES9x or Higan when "ZSNES just works"? Actual room temperature IQ take right here.

Once the decomps for other N64 games get turned into PC ports people will care even less about emulation.
unless of course they're retards who worship nintendo even at the expense of their own quality of life (ie, most websites with nintendo in the domain name)

Why the fuck do n64 emulators still use plugins. Why not just make a good emulator the right way the first time?

>>6800215
paraLLEl

>>6800196
I'm talking about you bitching about the name, autist.

>>6800215
You're more than welcome to step up and fix it

>>6800224
Does it run Body Harvest with no glitches

>>6800254
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH3AV3B_BlI
yes

Ayy anons I got a couple of questions
>Are there any further unreleased games besides Super Donkey and that Sleep/Dream game I forget the name of
>Are these actually able to be loaded from ROMS onto an emulator and played?
>If so, would it be possible for me to convert these roms to CIA files and play them on 3DS?

>>6800264
Gotta climb houses' outdoor stairs and cross the bridge as those are the glitch portions. Not seeing those in that vid.

>>6800347
https://www.libretro.com/index.php/nintendo-64-vulkan-low-level-emulator-parallel-pre-alpha-release/
>In some ways the spiritual precursor to GTA3, made even by the same company. Note a couple of things: unlike with any RDP HLE plugin ever, not only can we cross the bridge, but we can do so without the player literally walking through the bridge instead of walking correctly on top of it. High-level RSP up until now has been too buggy to accurately enable both Body Harvest US and European versions from working with the crossbridge (a patch by LegendofDragoon made it work for the European version, but with any HLE plugin you would still see the player character essentially walking through the bridge when passing over it, and in the US version you just plain cannot cross the bridge unless you are using a low-level RSP plugin.

>So, low-level RDP in conjunction with low-level RSP takes care of all that.

>>6800364

>>6799908
i think that i've deciphered it. don't think this means anything though

>>6800271
The Sleep/Dream game is Sleeper.

There's an NES ice hockey game that never got a final release if I recall, but no idea about CIA conversion.

>>6800404
it says "a secret star lay here -"

>>6800430
A secret meme lies here~

>>6800404
do you have a mental illness?

>>6800404
if i squint my eyes at the preview it honestly does look like Eternal Star. the bottom is indecipherable though

>>6800483
Possibly "we hope~"

>>6800502
i keep seeing the first word as My but that doesn't make much sense

>>6800527
Maybe Peach sculpted it

>>6800404
"Eternal Star

We hope so"

could be a weird joke, i guess

>>6800665
Or a sick joke in that the source asset is now lost forever

>>6800665
perhaps it's a shintoist satirical joke about how the star statue would have spirits in it by shinto rules, even if it doesn't make sense

Okay, I'm going to import two of the scrapped levels, and then it'll be ready for release.

Which levels should I replace? I'm already thinking Snowman's Land gets replaced with Stage1, but what should the second level to be replaced be? It can't be Bob-Omb Battlefield, Whomp's Fortress, Lethal Lava Land, Tall Tall Mountain, Cool Cool Mountain, any of the cap levels, Dire Dire Docks, or a Bowser stage. My best idea is probably to replace Peach's Secret Slide.

>>6800930
Do you mean replace in data or replace in data AND location of entrance?

>>6800956
replace data.

>>6800665
Nintendo on their backups working:

We Hope So.
Leave Luck to Heaven.

>>6800969
If only that why not just replace a later stage like Rainbow Ride?

>>6800404
Looks like jap gibberish

>>6801008
That wouldn't help our crazy, zany theories.

>>6801017
this is so much more based than the n64 one cause it actually refers to real thing. zelda benefits from this kind of analysis better than mario

>>6796416
Thanks, this is helpful!

>>6801205
That T-Rex is really trucking

Looking at the scv4 proto is informative, it tells you these games truly were easier to make and quicker to make than something like ALttP. The game is half complete and yet the levels that are done look exactly like the final almost -- except for random enemies

might be a long shot but did OOT have a 'standards' test map like some of the other 3D Zeldas did?
I'm in the process of porting OOT Link's animations into a UE4 project (mostly as reference for a similar game) and the idea to use OOT maps as testing grounds for tweaking the player entity sounded good

>>6801794
https://tcrf.net/Proto:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time_Master_Quest/Test_Maps#Room_118:_Jungle_Gym

OoT is such a bitch to find proto info about because its scattered over a thousand different disorganized sources

>>6801824
https://tcrf.net/Proto:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/iQue

>>6801828
Thats one of them yes

Also I wonder if the Japanese knew how this looks to westerners: "The source code indicates that a memory register called SEX, known as Rs in the Debug ROM, was named by Kazuaki Morita. "

>>6801809
oh sweet
better grab that out of the files too

>>6801885
I can't imagine that most Japanese people aren't aware of obvious sex jokes, especially ones that are as universal as "lol i named it sex xddd"

Alttp loves Moai.
Japanese like putting Moai heads in games.

>>6801017
Yes, it's a meme, but whoever made this image sorely lacks knowledge of ALttP's finer details. All those spooky sounding concepts, yet no mention of the very real pull spots, good bee hints, fish for bottleman or npc secret dialogues.

>>6802054
Is fishing for bottleman or hints about the good bee really suitable for such an image that is meant to be 'spooky' though? The NPC secret dialogues sounds interesting though.

>>6802097
It's something that not a lot of people know of (especially anything related to the good/golden bee) but if you're going to make a creepypasta chart you have to bait people into it by mixing it with some real secrets.

>The NPC secret dialogues sounds interesting though.
They genuinely are, but then again I'm a massive fanboy myself.

>>6802230
Everything wizzrobe-tier and above except Itoi plotline being vetoed by Miyamoto is real

i'm trying to find where the start level is called in the decomp because i kinda fucked something up and made snowman's land the level that you're sent to when you select a file

Has anyone tried using low resolution optical character recognition?
I remember reading about AI in the late 2000s that could take blurry pixels from a photo and use analysis to tell what English characters must have been there to create that arrangement of pixels.
This might be related. I found it by searching "low resolution optical character recognition". AI might be able to solve the mystery of the plaque once and for all.
https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Extracting-Low-Resolution-Text-with-an-Active-for-Mirmehdi-Clark/55035de5f18e8bfea9bbd74c484a84cbbcc96c48

I'm angry people care more about this stupid plaque than real prototype assets.

>>6802347
It's realistically possible to recreate lost information from the plaque. We can see what it actually was meant to say, if anything.

>>6802339
it would be the most effective to train an AI *specifically* for upscaling that kind of text. Generic upscalars just won't cut it. You'd have to do a lot of guesswork to find a close enough font though.

>>6802396
Would it be possible to train an AI on a massive collection of English and Japanese fonts, and then have the AI try and generate a plaintext output for what the characters likely are?
Hell, you could generate a list of possible outputs, and then filter any gibberish outputs. It doesn't seem that far out there for an AI or two to do. You wouldn't even need AI for filtering out gibberish from English/Japanese.

>>6802339
It’s fucjing Japanese you dumb asses.

>>6802416
And you can do OCR on Japanese text. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

>aka room ! star

is there anywhere in SM64 that's primarily red?

Petition for Nintendo to do a making of showcase for prototype data for their old games.

alright, i think i figured out an.. unorthodox way to fix the level warp.

what i have to do is first replace the castle grounds level with whatever, then replace all the files in the level with the original files.

>>6802547
>replace the castle grounds level with whatever,
Youre living dangerously

>>6802423
I've got some stuff it would be useful for. Any reccomendations for reliable ones?

>>6802563
No idea, I literally just googled "Japanese OCR" to find that image.

>>6802560
well it worked so it's not THAT dangerous.

>>6802586
Enter a stage, pause, and exit course. It's a very common issue with ROM hacks that replace the castle grounds to crash when exiting course.

>>6802592
Not with the decomp! And if I replace the edited files with the originals, it'll be back to normal, which I want.

>>6802476

>Send in the car, make it look like a traffic accident.

Whats the perceived barrier to entry difficulty for being able to start looking through the data for these games:

Super Mario 64
Zelda 3 ALttP
Yoshi's Island
Zelda OoT

>>6802881
Mario 64's not that difficult, idk about the rest.

>>6802476
the castle slide and the room where you enter it are primarily red. maybe its about looking for something in that room?

>>6803014
there is a hidden star in the secret slide if you beat it under 21 seconds, too.

>>6802918
I hear it requires w10 to check out stuff in UnixForWindoze command line

Why did they make weird alternate ganondorf fight rooms?

>>6803063
To make it easier to test the fight

>>6803070
The floor doesnt even fall away though, thatd be an aspect of the fight one would want to test. If anything they shouldve just copied his existing room

i'm building the final roms of the hack right now. are you guys ready?

>>6789106
RE0 is a huge longshot. It appears like most of the early-ish third party prototype builds were flukes and not things that Nintendo was actively archiving.

>>6803136
there's already every unused level in it ? like you announced at first

>>6803148
Just one - Stage1. Funhouse gave me some weird collision issues.

>>6803159
wot

>>6803159
is the mario/luigi added with splitscreen ?

>>6803164
Mario kept clipping through the ground and fell to his death no matter what I did. That might be why Nintendo scrapped it.

>>6803169
No, sadly. Just separate ROMs for Mario and Luigi.

>>6803174
you can maybe try to work this out with skelux later

>>6803174
Kind of expected, would be a ton of work to add split screen

>>6803176
I don't know Skelux, and why would he help me?

>>6788774
Super Mario 64 source code pls?

>>6803185
We only have some incomplete code from what Nintendo gave their Chinese branch. You want something like the source code? Check out the decomp. It's on Github.

>>6803184
he seemed interested in the leak, he imported some unused sm64 levels; and he made the first working splitscreen multiplayer with another Luigi model back in the days

>>6803190
Can I have the incomplete code then

I can hear the spirits whispering
in this room...

"Look for the eye of truth..."
That's what they are saying!

>>6803197
look for the bbgames-noncvs folder. it has all the shit you want.

>>6803203
What's this from?

Welp, the unused levels crash the game whenever you die. Fuck. They're out.

When will we get some wii shit like Super Mario Galaxy

>>6803237
nobody knows

>>6803237
When Wii shit like Super Mario Galaxy can fulfill my needs in bed.

>>6803250
Ever put a wii remote up your ass?

>>6803232
alttp

>>6803253
Yeah, have you shoved one with a Wii Motion Plus add-on connected up yours? Cause I have.

>>6803253
it's better with the rumble pak

>>6803234
Might as well make a buid that leaves them because crashing the game if Mario dies is a small price to pay for the unused levels

>>6803262
I could make a build that has one as the starting level later tomorrow.

Imagine wanting SM64 over this masterpiece, with actual fucking god-tier sound tracks

>>6803276
Theres no mystery or allure to Galaxy. It's a modern game.

All four ROMs are done compiling. I'm going to release them right now.

Final release of the Super Mario 64 Prerelease Asset Project
https://anonfiles()com/v7X2n1Q2oa/Super_Mario_64_-_Prerelease_Asset_Project_zip

>>6803203
this is the top right of the ruins, including the actual entrance. i see stone railings and greek architecture.

>>6803286
clearly you havent seen the page on tcrf. theres enough unused content to make almost 1/3rd of a full game.
https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Galaxy
https://www.youtube.com/embed/v0Ej58VE9bc

>>6803426
Unused content does not mystery or allure make. There's no mystery or allure to prototypes of Madden 2k7 either

>>6803063
It was probably a beta boss room, before they made the final room. It actually does kinda bear passing semblance to the actual Ganondorf room.

Of course later on the MM boss room would be much more similar.

>>6803406
thank you for what you've done, is it normal fpr the white stuff spinning instead of a star when unlocking a door ?

Can someone tell me what the hell game I'm looking at here?

>>6803406
seems to only happen for the peach slide

>>6803501
Yup. Fucked something up with the star, couldn't figure out how to fix it. It'll most likely be fixed in a later update.

>>6803518
Continued
Its in a folder called PO on news 05

>>6803276
I don't care much for Galaxy's soundtrack. Half the compositions just kind of fade into the background and so does the game itself come to think of it. Also, not retro.

Call me the beta kid or whatever, but could I potentially use the sm64 roms for a hack?

https://extranet.nintendo.com/sites/csscportal/KnowledgeTraining/ContentLibrary/gm/Shared%20Documents/ this is where wack0 got his shit from

Might I add that 1, were doing a mix of 95 and 96 so it's fine if the stars are 3d n all, and plus we wont just pass off the rom as our own, we can give you credit too if you want it.

>>6803691
How did you find this link?

>>6803691
Do you have the name and password to access to this site?

user is shiggy and password is wahoo

also you need to use wget

>>6803143
nintendo was CERTAINLY not archiving, but capcom probably has some prototype somewhere in storage, i think some footage resurfaced some time ago

so, did something actually meaningful happen for the end user? like, something we can actually play right now?
did someone port sm64 to the psp natively yet?
how about the other source codes? read they were not complete so i doubt we can get ports of ocarina of time on pc or something (unless the decompilation project does it)

>>6804334
not always but youll be lying to yourself if you think it never can

>>6804785
meant for >>6803453

>>6803518
>>6803538
I don't think anything has been confirmed but possibly the early snes 3d/super fx tests?

>>6789951
that actually makes it more likely that it survived, the RARE guys have a habit of making a backup of EVERYTHING and never lose their shit

>>6805349
It definitely survived, they showed off some gameplay when Rare Replay was released. Same with Project Dream/Early Banjo builds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDnvVbdEs7c
Gameplay starts around the 1:00 mark.
Similarly Capcom archived Resi 0 for N64 and showed newly recorded gameplay a few years ago.
Makes me wish for an official compilation of playable proto builds with developer background info etc., like a virtual museum from rare, or nintendo or any other important dev, really. I don't think something like that was ever done.

>>6804238
Nice

Nobody answered my question, so I'm just going to assume I can use the roms if I place the credit where the credit is due.

>>6804752
We have a PSP port of Mario 64, yes.

>>6806684
Get it together and stay on topic, .sou anon. Crysis is retro, the PSP isn't.

>>6803691

So I've started work on restoring the UFO into SF2.
Although I have a question, does anyone know what German SNES communities would have been active in 2002, I've been looking into to finding June 22 build leak and so far as close as I've gotten is it was supposedly leaked the the German snes community.

>>6806691
ports of retro games on non-retro devices have always been allowed

>>6803691
you have to be stupid to link this in public

>>6807080
i seriously doubt they kept any of their other shit public after they realized they had been hacked anyway

>>6806835
that's not the issue. the big problem is that this thread should be confined to the /pre2k/ general because the leaks deal with games that are generally pre-2000 games, which are now a minority topic and don't need their own threads.

>>6807162
Leaks contained wario land 4 stuff so there for this thread topic would not fit in /pre2k/ please educate yourself :^)

>>6807162
so why is everyone talking about GB, SNES and N64 stuff instead

i barely see anything besides boomers gushing over boomer shit.

>>6807215
No one is stopping you from looking through and posting your findings in this thread on the post 2000 stuff that was leaked

>>6807162
You're a joke Loki, you couldn't even lift a finger against Thanos

>>6806952
The unfixed ROM was leaked by "skyhawk" of the German fan translation site, Alemanic Translations. Apparently skyhawk claimed to have found this game on a prototype cart and dumped it himself, probably leading to the widespread belief this game was found off a prototype cart. In reality, Star Fox 2 was leaked as a pure assembled binary from a former developer who wanted the game emulated, and the ROM was not in a proper SNES ROM format initially. There was no source code leaked, nor was there ever a prototype or production cart of it. Soon after the leak of Star Fox 2, emulator authors incorporated proper Super FX emulation, allowing the general community to play the game in all its glory.

According to this article: http://snescentral.com/article.php?id=0077

>>6808140
Sorry, I should have quoted the whole thing. The real blockbuster, which served as the pinnacle of the SNES emulation scene, in my opinion, was the release of the final beta of Star Fox 2 in August 2002 (well documented by d4s in this FAQ, who also had a big hand in the discovery of the ROM image). The first screenshots appeared on the now defunct website, sportkompaktwoche.de.

>>6808140
Star Fox 2 was an inside job

>>6808171
It makes sense, but where did the association with that german guy come from? It's confusing.

Here's an archived version of the website: http://web.archive.org/web/20021122053021/http://www.sportkompaktwoche.de/

Dylan Cuthbert probably wasn't the leaker. It was leaked after he left Argonaut.

AMN - Do you know how Star Fox 2 was leaked out onto the Internet?

Dylan - No idea, but I didn't clean out my hard drive when I left Argonaut, so someone could easily have half-inched it from there at some point over the years.

AMN - Why are there two known betas of Star Fox 2?

Dylan - No idea again, probably different stages of development - the first beta seems to be from the Winter CES version we made. There were probably a number of ROM images on archive at Argonaut.

>>6808221
I got the German idea from the ReadMe included with the rom on hidden Palace.

>>6803406
Thanks for this!

>>6808283
Which I should just clarify says:
Which was leaked out in 2002 by an anonymous developer to members of the German SNES scene.
In addition archive.org's page on the build says its origin was source code.

It's the only thing I want before I die.

Is the SM64 PC port on the Internet Archive compiled from the gigaleak code or the earlier reverse-engineered code? Is there a PC port compiled from the gigaleak source?

>>6791843
This is the only one you need anyway.

>>6806684
where is the link?

I didn't feel like making a thread for this, but thought maybe it had something to do with this?
I was just messing around with lttp and game genie codes. (AEA8-D4FA Walk through anything vertically.)
So I decided to see what all I could do before rescuing Zelda. As I was going around the map, and into the first three dungeons, I started noticing things on the map were different. Then this shallow path in Lake Hylia that lets you walk from the dock in the northwest, to the fairy fountain island in the middle. I haven't seen this before, and quickly googling it, didn't really see anything mentioning it? Is this widely known? Was thinking maybe the parts that were different were leftovers from an earlier build, if not a very late one?

I'm making a model for beta Whomp's Fortress and I think it looks pretty good so far.

what is the best n64 emulator

>>6811585
Project 64

>>6811585
Real talk? Mupen64Plus.

>>6811435
Another thing here where you get the ice rod. You can get into the room normally from the south, you have to go in the other door then push the blocks. The ice rod was in one chest, and a heart piece in the other.

>>6811753
Then this in the Eastern Palace. There are a bunch of other rearranged areas in the dungeons. Keys in different places, differences in the layouts. I'm playing the standard rom, just with that game genie cheat to walk through stuff vertically. I don't think it's the cheat doing all of this, because the dungeons are still solvable, and the thing in Lake Hylia just works too well to be garbled up stuff from the game genie.

>>6811790
>>6811753
>>6811435
Interesting

>>6811676
this

>>6811790
I've never seen any of that before. definitely looks like leftovers from a late beta build.

>>6811158
The July 2020 leak did not have full source code in it. A couple source files that would be needed for localization, but mostly just compiled binary files.

>>6811798
I thought it was too. Have been playing the game since it came out, and have messed with a lot of glitches and stuff, but can't say I've ever seen this. If someone else wants to try that game genie code, I'd be interested to see if the same things happen. AEA8-D4FA

>>6811435
>>6811753
>>6811790
quit shilling your shitty romhack

>>6811842
It's not. That's why I want to see if anyone else has the same thing happen.

I think the bigger question is why the pre-Zelda rescue world state differs like this
Logically you would assume nothing changes beyond the bounds of the playable area you're stuck in for the duration of the intro of the game.

https://www.shodan.io/host/207.108.201.245
this is where https://extranet.nintendo.com/sites/csscportal/KnowledgeTraining/ContentLibrary/gm/Shared%20Documents/ is located

This part in the Desert Palace is pretty different. It's normally that long hallway at the north end of the main room when you first go in.

Elder's house has no doors for some reason. I won't post any more itt since its kind of off topic. Would be interesting to know if any of these differences lined up with stuff found in the leaks, but I'm guessing that would be a longshot to find out. idk seemed weird there would be that much different stuff left in the game that's normally inaccessible.

can someone compile this? it keeps giving me an "ERROR: Set $PSPDEV before continuing" despite already doing that bullshit

https://github.com/z2442/sm64-port

hey that’s not how you ride a jetski

>>6811158
It's reverse engineered from the ROM
but the way that N compiled the game means that, for the code in the ROM, the decomp is pretty much the same as the actual source, except for lacking comments
The top function is the decomp, the bottom is from the leak

>>6811875

Nice, this is super interesting! Not even TCRF mentions this. Did you only check those two dungeons? Is the rest of them are accessible?

You should keep checking all the game or even make your own thread, or tell the TCRF guys about this.

>>6801008
The first letter is 100% 上, I have no idea how anyone can think otherwise.

Sprite hacking the source code is coming along.

>>6816181
Are you basically doing what I did with Mario 64 to Star Fox 2?

>>6816216
More hacking in stuff that interests me really.
Mainly for the purpose of figuring out and documenting the source code and tools of starfox/2

>>6816243
Ah, neat.

Speaking of what I'm doing to Mario 64, I'm trying to fix some bugs in the released ROMs, as well as inserting the leak levels into the two levels I'm not using anymore - Bowser in the Dark World and Bowser in the Sky.

>>6800404
I think it says OP is fag.

>>6815638
Assuming this isn't some guy's rom hack that he distroed named Zelda3.sfc for fun, tcrf doesn't mention it because it's in the final game and not prerelease or prototype content.

>>6817104
TCRF has stuff that's in final versions of games, though.

i am getting pissed off at the decomp for not letting me import levels correctly

>>6815638
seconded. it reminds me of when I was doing exploration glitch on alttp. the game has two maps, a big square one for dungeons, and a rectangular map for houses/caves/etc. I was exploring the second map, and somehow got into a glitched version of eastern north of the magic hut, pic related.
when I left, I spawned at the very top left of the overworld.

>>6817119
If it's dummied, but the final rom certainly doesn't have copies of prototype map data for every room in the game laying around. Most likely it is a glitch caused by the code and the movement from unnatural transition points interfering with level drawing or drawing certain logical formations where they should not be. Sort of like Metroid 1's "secret worlds"

>>6817137
If it makes people more interested in ALttP, The Forgotten Game of the Generation, I'm all for it. ALttP is the Silent Generation to OoT's baby boomers

Why is alttp so Japanese?

>>6817360
imo the statues by dungeon idea shows just how tight space is in a cart game. In ALTTP they had 1MB and that was it basically. So a lot of things that would be nice were scrapped to save space.

Was he named Senate to christen the newly released Star Wars: The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West?

>>6815638
Guy here from yesterday who was seeing this stuff. I played through the first three dungeons, rescued zelda, then looked around in the dark world a bit, and got into dungeon 4. I'll load it up again tomorrow and document more of what I see. It's really weird.
>>6817104
As far as I know, it's the standard USA rom, not sure what rev though. I was using the game genie code I mentioned before, otherwise everything should have been vanilla.

It's mostly the dungeons that have weird minor changes. Where you get the hammer, how it's on that ledge to the left, that whole platform was shifted to the lower left corner.
There aren't a ton of changes in the overworlds, the biggest thing I saw was the weird path through Lake Hylia in my first post (>>6811435), and then also, on most of the docks, or whatever they're called, they've got a small area of shallow water at the base of them that I don't think is anywhere in the final game?
It's really weird. Like I said, I've played the game for many years, and have messed around with some of the exploration glitches, but never saw actual parts of maps change. It's probably like >>6817182 said. The game genie code itself is doing it, or it's a result of being able to get out of sequence at the very beginning of the game possibly loading things in wrong.
To the best of my knowledge, it's not a romhack, and I'm not trying to dupe anyone. Just a weird thing that popped up when messing around with game genie.

Was it level 9?

>>6818102
i figure they have something to do with skull woods, or whatever skull woods was at this point of development

>>6818116
But skull woods is a dark world area, this was on the light world map

>>6818123
the entrance to the desert palace always looked vaguely like a creature's mouth to me. maybe it was that

>>6818135
Interesting, because desert palace is the one thing missing from the early maps due to that weird hill being in its place

>>6817104
TCRF also documents things that are in the final release but can't be seen normally like unreachable coins in Super Mario 64 or the "Unicorn cave" at the bottom of Zora's Domain. Also, they post about regional differences in final releases. This world map differences and dungeons modification count as material present in the game you normally can't access.

>>6818123
We aren't sure if they even HAD a Dark World at that point in development
The last couple of 'old' overworld map revisions were huge, much bigger than what the final one ended up being. So it's possible that they came up with it, then picked stuff out of the then-current map to shift to the Dark World, this being one of them

>>6817901
the oddest possibility is that for whatever reason, the intro segment loads an older map revision. But that can't be right, the game is already packed as it is with two overworlds, and two dungeon/residence megalevels per overworld, they could possibly have room for a third of these sets. Also romhackers would have found this extra, slightly different map ages ago

>>6798947
https://youtu.be/jp-JKB1kqIc

>>6818317
The theories we typically hear though is that the other world was 'the future' or 'the past' rather than the dark world and it was changed at some point in development. Im not sure if we ever got anything 100% conclusive about that from a dev interview though, just nebulous references to Zelda wearing future clothes

Also I'd only say map-1 is huge, in that it has more locations than the typical light world map, but maybe a lot of those could just be caves for all we know.

>>6818332
Its the hidden World Plexus of ALttP, the bits of map are hidden, buried in references that alter existing maps in subtle ways but not enough that an entirely new tile map would need to be drawn. A 'second quest' if you will.

okay, i might have figured out how to import levels without fucking with the placement of enemies/objects. i tested it with a simple blue nintendo logo on the title screen, and it worked.

>>6812402
I love bitwise operations as much as the next guy, but I find it pretty funny that the decomp's use of &= etc. is so much less readable than the original's setflag(flags, flag) function.

I figured with most nintendo programmers having just come from programming systems that required assembly, their code would look more like "C written by assembly programmers" but in this case, the decomp better fits that description.

How much is it possible to look at a prototype and infer about earlier versions and the devs logic for their changes?

so have there been any major discoveries? is it all over or are we still finding stuff

>>6818923
We now must dig and work for each discovery

>>6818563
Sometimes I wish I saved all those dev interviews so I could easily source what I'm about to claim, but for now we'll have to make do with my memory of them.

The common story about how the overworld developed is actually three pieces of information mentioned in interviews stiched together.
1) Alternate overworlds for different time periods were considered as far back as the first Zelda (I guess the code for overworld patching ended up being used to slightly alter the second quest overworld). They considered the same idea in the early stages of ALttP's development, but it's unclear if any of it ever made it past the concept stage. We do know overworld patching became the technical basis for the Dark World.
2) One dev mentioned that ALttP at some point had three overworlds. However, while either designing or testing it, they found out switching between three worlds would be too confusing for the average player, so they cut one out.
3) The dream world concept that was used in LA was ripped from ALttP's beta. Specifically the dev mentioned that ALttP's story originally had a dream world with a big egg on a mountain, and when the egg eventually broke the dream world would collapse.

People usually interpret these points to mean that first there were a past, present, and future overworld in the game, then they got turned into a waking, dream, and nightmare world, and when the dream world got cut the remaining two got turned into the light and dark worlds. Of course, there's a couple of flaws and assumptions in the reasoning here, but it's what most people tend to roll with.

>>6819875
maybe that might explain why final ALTTP seemingly has a second version of the light world with slight differences that would indicate an earlier version

Getting some progress on making edited CCR/CHRs for SF2 Source

>>6821035
>>6821046
It's worth to discuss here, since there's the wii disc and can be considered a next part of the gigaleak.

>>6821391
has it been confirmed to come from the same source?

>>6821046
sadly I can't into gamecube (those files will be huge) And worried that it'll hurt my pc, best of wishes anons, good luck to the future files.

>>6818846
Probably a matter of a function definition of param1 &= param2 getting optimized out by the compiler and nobody working on the decomp thought to see if making it a function after they got the correct line of code would still compile to the same binary since the evidence of it having been a function was gone. The decomp is assembly back to C so it isn't surprising that some one line functions might have been missed by the RE team and just inlined instead, as output by the compiler. Whereas the original programmers would write what makes sense to them, then let the compiler optimize it further.

I wish I could get excited about pokemon. Playable early mario/zelda snes/n64/gamecube builds would give me a heart attack, but not pokemon. Ah who am I to complain? It's cool for the fans of the series, and also reassuring that there are still leaks happening.

Also we finally got the Wii Startup Disc.

>>6821572
The other interesting thing is it shows the leaker is back.

>more people excited over Wii Startup Disc than full Wii hardware source
weird

>>6821672
>Wii
Not Retro

OH SHIT, WII STARTUP DISC??

>>6803518
Doom 3

>>6821672
probably because the hardware is even more useless to everyone than the disc

>all the pre-6th gen leaks are finished

zzzzzzzzzzz..............

>>6821785
>Finished
We have no idea how much is left to be leaked.
it took about 2 years from when the first leaks started happening to get the SNES stuff

>>6821785
Thank God 6th gen is now retro and we can continue having this discussion here.

>>6821805
>6th gen is now retro
It's not though.

>>6821805
>Thank God the mods made an exception for non-retro 6th gen titles on the retro games board

FTFY

>>6821798
we suspect that we have about 12 OR 2 terabytes left of leaks

>>6819875
I definitely recall pts 2-3

>>6822669
If there's nothing left from N64 and before then it doesn't matter.

>>6822669
I wonder if wack0 ever shared the whole 2 terabytes with anyone, if that number is true.

Seems unlikely to me, but then again any guesswork is really pointless, let's wait and see. The sheer diversity of the leaked content so far is exciting though. Who knows what else might come out of this sooner or later.

>>6823182
Should have put a pirate flag on the shoulder of the shocked astronaut and a Nintendo logo on that of the gunner.

>>6801017
Link is christian.

>>6823442
That was a Zelda 1-2 secret

Not sure if anyone cares. I'm on Seattle and my flight was grounded so...i was wandering through a retro gaming store and found this two pager on Zelda 64.

>>6823376

>>6823472
Must be Nintendo Power. I hadn't remembered them showcasing the tonguestatues so prominently

>>6823472
>Surrounding Hyrule Castle will be a bustling town

>>6823497
Looks like it's an anniversary issue of some kind, what with the Ninja Gaiden cover next to the page count.

>>6823497
It is heres the cover. Its the 100th issue. Cost me 5 Bucks. Worth it.

Aonuma, Reuser of Ideas

Any other requests?

>>6823472
Were we going to be able to switch between A+C and the "modern" button configuration at some point during development?
I ask this because the models, textures, item configuration, money and heart count are all the same in most of the screenshots.

Also, what is this place supposed to be?

>>6823551
>Were we going to be able to switch between A+C and the "modern" button configuration at some point during development?
No, they just mixed in a lot of screenshots from various points in time.
>I ask this because the models, textures, item configuration, money and heart count are all the same in most of the screenshots.
Debug file.
>Also, what is this place supposed to be?
Outside of the old Castle Town from here:
>>6823504

>>6823551
Your guess is as good as mine.. I think they just plastered various screenshots from development in there. From what they had on file. It is interesting they did that though with the two different button configurations.

If I had to guess Geurdo desert.

>>6823567
>No, they just mixed in a lot of screenshots from various points in time.
they just didn't give a single fuck

>>6823451
There was also one black & white early artwork made for ALttP with Link kneeling before Jesus.

>>6823487
Nicely done.

Chances NES and SNES info is all over now?

>>6821057

>>6823843
What gives you such confidence?

>>6823886
Come on, it's (reportedly) 2TB. There's NO way that what we got is all for the NES/SNES era.

i found a dev cart for the N64 with no label. more to come

>>6824052
oh?

>>6824047
Well Gigaleak1 had all Nintendo's pre-N64 workstations or proof that said workstations' backups failed. Hard to really imagine what else would be left unless they had servers in that era with meticulous backups as well. But usually if you have servers you don't need workstation backups since people just work out of network drives...at least in today's modern environments. NEWS-OS was quite a different system though. Do we know if NEWS workstations typically did operate with servers or central repositories?

Interesting that the Taco was in development at the same time as the DS and that gameboy successor. Seems like SEGA levels of poor communication within the company and competing money sinks in which only one survives.

I assume it's likely the Taco would have been Nintendo's second attempt at an experimental handheld to ride with the GBA2 if the DS didn't catch on. However the DS did so well that neither became necessary.

Makes you wonder what other cancelled systems Nintendo has, and which ones have test units.

>>6824052
where did you find the n64 dev cart?

oh, it's super mario 64
>>6824423
in a box full of other assorted nintendo goodies. Gamecube controllers, Super Famicoms, some Disk System games, etc. This just caught my eye.

>>6823516
I remember that issue. iirc, they put mario 64 as #1, tetris as #2 or #3, with goldeneye and link to the past in the top 10.

seems to be a close-to-final build of the game. what's weird is that the coins and stars have early textures, and mario has somewhat different jump sounds that look to be cut off

>>6824541
fake & gay

>>6824560
I don't wanna say I agree, but I'm REALLY skeptical.

never mind. i opened up the cart and it appears to just be a modified everdrive 64. sorry for wasting everyone's time. this is bullshit. i'm so fucking mad.
