/vr/ - Retro Games

...you mean like romhacks?

cool story bro

Old games are a clusterfuck of hacks and spaghetti code, good luck with that.

im talking about actual programs which can do it with ease in the future.
not people who do romhacks now which can take forever.

take a look at this nerd.jpg

i know geordi laforge and data would have been up to the task.
i guess you are like that one person in voyager who stayed in the bottom deck the entire time until they got home being a huge tool to everyone.

this guy sounds like some kind of 4chan bot

If you are very interested in the tools and methods used to create old videogames, understand how to change the ROM on a level beyond inserting sprites and moving premade elements around, and want to do it all yourself for your own benefit, then it's definitely possible. But I doubt more than a handful of people care enough to do all the required work, and then somehow put a comprehensible GUI on top of it all, making sure it's compatible with every game. And that's just for SNES.

Tl;dr it's possible in the sense that it's possible to make a card castle taller than your own house.

It seems like a lot more when you're typing it in the tiny-ass box.

since your on /vr/ at this time of the day. I'm guessing you are not busy.
Any suggestions on how to do this. I'm not looking for a step by step.
just think of replying to me the way you would some chum at a party your stuck at.

So what you're wanting is a program that will be able to scan old games written in whatever language and transform things you dislike about it into things you do like?

I can dig it. I'll help you get started

void makeWhatIDintLikeIntoSomethingILike(thingidontlike thing)
{
//insert your code here
}

You'll have to define a custom class for things you don't like though, but at least it's a start. Good luck, anon-kun :)

>>693646
IF they'd be up to the task why aren't they on the Voyager?

>>693679

def removeThingsIDon'tLike(Thing)
if Thing == ThingIDontLike:
Thing.Delete

I think we're on to something here

that is it. I imagine technology will progress will doing such a thing will be extremely easy.
I'm guessing it won't happen until tech is advanced enough that it could do it all by itself without doing any actual manual coding from one self.

"computer, this earthbound game is some horseshit. Here are some changes i would like implemented".

Oh poopyfuck, there's a misspelling in the name declaration.

I imagine tech will progress where doing such a thing will be easy

What makes you think they can romhack if they can't even get on the Voyager?

considering how dull VR has become recently. I'm not surprised this topic is getting so much traffic.


another mega man thread anyone?

>>693734
they got on voyager already nerd. its like you don't internet at all.

>>693697

Holy fuck I think we just solved shitty video games forever. Lets start a company, broski

>>693754

>>693774
