>will fonzie be going to jail or a mental asylum?
No, he will spend the rest of his days snorting coke off of hooker's asses using the money he successfully grifted from retro retards.

>>7362854

>>7362864
>the money he successfully

hahahahaaaaaaaaa Fonzie is broke dude, he had to borrow money from his parents to finish Paprium.
Even now he can't ship the remaining preorders because he doesn't have the money to get them made.
The only thing we can hope for is that Fonzie manages to gather the funds necesarry to ship the remaining orders and for him to then realize that his dream of being a retro dev is a failure.

DO NOT PREORDER HIS NEW GAME WITH THE DOLPHIN, ITS GONNA TAKE A DECADE TO GET MADE AND LIKE PAPRIUM IT WONT BE FUN TO PLAY!
Do not fund this man any further, this needs to stop.

>>7362898
> The only thing we can hope for is that Fonzie manages to gather the funds necesarry to ship the remaining orders
the odds of that happening are incredibly slim.
>Do not fund this man any further, this needs to stop.
fonzie is well and truly fucked. he's been in damage control mode since the game was released.

>>7362854
>>7362865
is that supposed to stop piracy?

>>7362927
apparently a sad attempt at it, as it serves no other purpose at all in an air and water tight cartridge case. it's a common tactic that doesn't work.

>>7362854
I support dumping the game just to stick it to Fonz. However actually playing it is a waste of time.

>>7362898
kweeel!

>>7363061
>I support dumping the game just to stick it to Fonz.
yep. that's way to be.
>However actually playing it is a waste of time.
unfortunately. it failed to live up to the hype.

>>7362898
>Do not fund this man any further, this needs to stop.
Normie collectors are retards, they don't care if a game takes a decade to finish if they're going to own an "exclusive" game. Just look at NG:Dev Team that never failed to take YEARS to ship every preorder and reprint every single time since their inception, but people still throw in half a thousand euros to be able to reserve a cart.

>>7363074
>Normie collectors are retards
facts.

>>7362854
How's the rippin' efforts going so far?

>>7363147
Is this a rethorical question? If yes, you know what happened with Pier Solar, right? ;) Sooner or later my friend...

>>7363147

I'm not involved in the process but I thought it would be out by now, might take months or even years for it to get dumped. I feel like it will be at a time when nobody fucking cares anymore.

Were really just going to have 24/7 seething Paprium threads by retards that will cry about the game until it gets ripped and dumped aren't we?

Fucking get a life. Go play some games or something you fucking losers. Seethe and cope. Imagine having some french hipster faggot in your head 24/7 just becuase you don't want to buy an overpriced novelty MD games released on 202X.

Fucking. LOSERS.

>>7363192
Hello plebbit.

>>7363192
hello fonzie. it's good to see you here once again. consider suicide, you retarded frog.

>>7363176
it'll be dumped, but people aren't working on this just to entertain us or people that want the game. it's about reverse engineering fonzi's retarded and over engineered pcb. this takes time.

>>7363192
>Fucking get a life

I'm a gamer, I have tons of lives!

>>7363251

>still "Packing"

I hope I get a proxy for 30 bucks on ebay when the dump go out fuck fonzie

>still "Packing"

>>7363374
>>7363525
You were going to get your copies on April, but now that everyone tried to fuck fonzi over I'm sure it will take a lot more time, if he even delivers anything to begin with, I don't care because I would never pay more than2$ for a shitty game but I love seeing the same faggots that tried to report him to sega cry about their copy not arriving lmao
>inb4 fonzi
I'm not I justr came to laugh at the aforementioned faggots

>>7363192
Yeah, yeah... But it will be dumped ;) I know that hurts your ego

>>7363192
88% since videogames are reality they suck dick 12% already played.

>>7362854
DELIVERY SHOCK!
Only 25% of the games have shipped! And Fonzie carefully chose the Youtubers and influceners to give him a good word in videos!

>>7363783
and sent gold showtime statues to premium dick suckers

>>7363783
>Only 25% of the games have shipped!
Where did that percentage come from? You?

>>7362854

>>7364224

>>7363783
I am not an influencer or youtuber and I received the game and the manga before christmas.

I haven't opened it or played it yet. I haven't had time.

>ships years too late
>commits a last-minute change which breaks compatibility with tons of megadrive-hardware (mainly MD1)
>tries to sucker people into pre-ordering another still-to-be-made game, "just trust me bro"
never change, fonzerino

>>7363231
That guys a fag and so are you for being obsessed.

can someone give me a rundown

>>7364902
There's a really good set of youtube videos that cover it.

https://youtu.be/kXLtnqbeBNI

Here are all the chips used for the Paprium PCB.

>>7364929

And then St1ka finally reviewed the game and LOOOOOOOOOVED IT!!!
>IET EES TEH BEEEEEEEEST BRAWLAAAR GAEM ON THIE SIEGA MIEGA DRIEVE!!

Lost all respect for the guy after that, Paprium has no gameplay but he was so amazed with the graphics that he refused to notice.

>>7365078
Yeah I was also surprised by that. Guess he was trying so hard to convince himself that he didn't waste money.

>>7365078
Game Sack did a far better review and called out on bullshit

>>7365078
Tbh it seems like fonzie was under a lot of stress and that stress made him rush things and that was actually a good thing, the impression I got from that video is that if he didn't do what he did pier solar would have taken a lot longer to complete

Well soon as the ROM is dumped & actually playable, then we can hack the game & add more moves, extra levels, new playable characters, extra drugs to take & make the game we all actually wanted in the first place.

>>7363192
Stop touching children, nonce.

>>7365137

He rushed the wrong thing, there's no gameplay in Paprium.
there's no walking around and deciding between throwing someone or punching, or doing a backwards attack followed up by a super.
in Paprium you just:

>JUMP KICK
>JUMP KICK
>JUMP KICK
>JUMP KICK
>JUMP KICK

The AI sucks and the attacks feel like they don't matter. and the throwing feels incredibly off and lack proper animation.

>>7365409
>Paprium.
I was talking about pier solar since that's what that first video mostly talks about.

>>7364929
Watching this series actually made me respect Fonzi, the guy sounds like a fucking autistic genius.

>>7362898
seconded

>>7365078
>St1ka
borat

>>7365493
I think he's BR

>>7365493

I lolled.

>>7365419

aah ok, but even then my problem with Fonzie still stands.
Pier Solar wasn't fun either, it wasn't balanced properly. in rpgs you shouldnt be able to lose the first couple battles unless you're trying to lose.
but the battles in Pier Solar were hard from the start, it wasn't fun and didn't bother to make you want to get stronger.

>>7364224
NYPA and Sega isn't lawsuit-happy like Nintendo.

>>7364224
sega suing fonzie wouldn't achieve much. he has no money.

>>7364902
some coomer made a game for the genecyst

LMFAO, What is a coomer?

Has there ever been a tier list for what systems are easiest to develop for?

I always wanted to make a gameboy game but a two part youtube video of someone making his sort of scared me out of it

>>7366052
If you can't code everything will be hard, Gameboy is actually pretty easy.

>>7365078
Indeed. But he also kinda gave Xeno Crisis a bad score, and that game is the best new release on the console BY FAR. So his opinions are weird. I believe he's more into simler games that sound and look good (visual novels), than games that really challenge you. In short: He's really a zoomer normie.

>>7362854
>Paprium
More like pap smearium

>>7365696

They should sue him for his mustache, roots and all so he could never grow it back.

>>7363251
ooooh he got you there m8

>>7365258
Ah yes, another successful 4channel ROMhacking project, like for example... and uh...

>>7365942
WHAT?
I Agreed with Streets of Rage 3, but not 2 or 1.

>>7365942
>Now I get Fonzie's big $$$

>>7366983

He wants one of them bronze statues.

>>7365942

I hope he makes a follow up video about what the inside of Fonzie's ass smells like

>>7366730
Pier Solar ;)

>>7367028
You just know that dildo has been exclusively on an ass and never touched a vagina

>>7365942
Puta s.0.yfreak of shit.

This fucking inhuman parasites are so damn obvious, with their disgusting weird faces.

Seriously, the fact that this stupid ass degenerates supports rats like fonzies should be no surprise and yet at the same time i fail to process, what exactly caused the existence of this creatures?

I wanna smash this abomination ugly shape head into the ground.

>>7367127
you probably look just like him except way fatter

>>7367117
Why would you point that out?

For the same price, you could buy a regularly expensive beat 'em up to play on your Genesis. The PAL collector's edition is just obscene. Might as well just buy something that will remain overpriced like Time Killers or Mega Turrican.

>>7367127

He's a nice guy though, but that review was 100% fueled by the shock that Paprium came out of nowhere after 8 years and we all WANTED it to be good.
Reading a thread about Paprium is hilarious, it goes from shock that its out to amazement to bargaining to sadness.
St1ka just made the mistake to base his review on that early amazement high.

>>7367174
yes goy, it will stay overpriced forever, buy plastic toys and funko pops instead of gold and silver

>>7367127
Could you repeat that in English?

>shipping
I hope it's good or at least decent. That being said I ain't ever giving Fonzie my money again after this fucking dumpster fire of a development and launch cycle.

>>7367817

It's not bad, but even with the tons of levels the gameplay is just very shallow.
At first you'll be amazed, then you'll get tired of the simple moves and dumb AI. then you find yourself jump kicking left and right because its quicker.

>>7367212
Wtf are you going to do with gold when the world economy tanks? You gonna eat it? Cant be used as an ax or knife, cant burn it, it just looks pretty... But, keep buying all that gold, because you know itll be worth so much when people are killing each other over food.

>>7367212

Sorry pal. You see, 'shipping' in French means it hasn't left the assembly line in China yet.

>>7367917
So, you call other anon a goy for buying vidya, but trusting jew speculation on shiny metal isnt chattle behavior? Get your fuckin head out if your ass.

>>7362854
whats wrong with the epoxy isnt that pretty common

>>7367942
no
you blob a naked chip on a pcb so you don't need a package, or you just use regular chips in DIP or SMD.

Here it's just paranoia and also choice of epoxy wasn't proper for the pseudo heatsink to adhere.

Paprium will never get dumped just like the neogeo homebrew games. Deal with it

>>7370040

SURPRISINGGGGGG i mean.. approaching?

>>7370135
>Paprium will never get dumped
it will be soon.
>just like the neogeo homebrew games
what makes you think they haven't been dumped?

>>7370864
>it will be soon.
Highly doubt it
>what makes you think they haven't been dumped?
They haven't been publicly released

>>7368116

>>7370880
>They haven't been publicly released
a lot of shit hasn't been released to the public, that doesn't mean something isn't dumped.

I can confirm that the method used to dump pier solar does not work with paprium. This will take a long time.

>>7371205

Can you back up your point here, otherwise there's no reason to take you seriously

>>7370882
HAHAHAHA!

>>7370135
I'm with you pal.
>>7370880
It's because they are expensive, mame devs have those protos, billy pit have them all, and only trade other proto games are not neogeo for one neogeo proto. So silly. Instead closing neogeo is flipping and trolling everyone.

>>7371295
Xacrow is a nother example. It's chinese even with vagina virus is not able to release at least...
one -_- i want Warlocks and Sunshine. I already see it in the 90's.

>>7370135
Nice joke.

>>7371398
Wanting something really hard does not make it more possible anon

>>7371405

We don't know whether it will or not, anon. Given the hate for Fonzie, and the fact that people have already partially dumped it or whatever already, it probably will. Stop acting like you 'know' it won't when you're just pulling this out of your ass.

>>7362898
My pre-order just shipped today. What are you talking about?

>>7367931
Lol, chill. I just said wrong way.

Return the cart! or suffer my curse.
What's your offer?
Oh Common...

Bisous !

>>7371410
>it probably will.
there's no question that it'll be dumped just to fuck fonzie. he will regret trying to jew people out of cash for such garbage.

>>7371405
I'm not in a hurry buddy... Sooner or later, you know, like Pier Solar ;)

>>7371435

Just means Fonzie managed to scrounge up some money somewhere, maybe some people were dumb enough to preorder his dolphin crap.
Just because YOU got an email saying its shipped doesn't mean the rest of the people will get it. this shit is gonna take months before everybody gets their copy.

>>7371686
nobody believes anyone will receive anything, that's why people have been trying to get refunds.

>>7371278
Not him but if that method worked it would probably have been dumped already. I'm sure it will take a little time but the amount of animosity surrounding this whole situation makes it pretty clear it's inevitable.

Where the fuck are you people finding CRTs? I've tried everywhere and still haven't been able to get one.

Paprium Mini Game with Infinite life

>>7365136
based gamesack

New to all this Fonzi fuckery, 2 questions:
- What was Project M from Watermelon? Looks like an interesting SNES game, but it's hard to find info. (For what it's worth, no part of me expects it to be released, just curious)
- What's this new dolphin game I've seen referenced? Are there any screenshots, or just plans?

>>7373002
>Project M
I believe you mean Project N? It was a top-down Zelda-like game, with a dog AI companion. Fonzie CAN NOT program for the SNES (can he even program for the genny?), so programming was done by some german dude they hired and didn't pay, so he eventually quit after getting tired of Fonzies fuckery. Fonzie's role was design and overseeing the project. Since Fonzie cannot finish the code himself, it will NEVER be released. And all gems(pre-orders) pumped into the project from customers will never be repayed.

There's a link to the Dolphin game at the Paprium website. It's another Beatem'up. That's all we know. I believe it won't get released either. Fonzie is in too deep shit to get out of it this time.

I haven't played it but I disagree with this idea. Some of my favorite RPGs are struggles early on until you get more tools in your toolbox.

>>7373669
Pardon me, I meant coaxial fucknut

>>7371708

Asking for a refund is pointless, Fonzie doesn't have the money to make new Papriums so he doesn't have the money for refunds either.
all one can really do now is wait till Fonzie makes enough money with his paper route so he can afford to send everybody their Paprium copy.

>>7375165
>all one can really do now is wait till Fonzie makes enough money with his paper route so he can afford to send everybody their Paprium copy.
so.. that'll be never.

MegaWire(tm) soon for sale, only $100, each DLC can be paid for via PayFonz(tm)
Update 2.0 will add MORE STAGES! but no gameplay improvement.
also due to lack of rom space we have now removed 10% of the animations.

FINANCIAL SHOCK!
Fonzie's in million debt to his bank and parents and still cannot even deliver pre ordered copies from FOUR years ago!

>>7375925
Mega SG isn’t emulating the special chips in the Paprium cart. Which is what a flash cart would need to do. The flash cart devs either won’t take the time to emulate the special chips or will protect Watermelon out of some form of loyalty.

Nobody thought some of the SNES special chips would get emulated on flash carts, but they eventually did. Took years however.

>>7376545
It doesn't matter if it took years, the thing is, it's "very commendable" that the everdrive guy want's to protect paprium's comercial life, but you can do it in other ways than claiming stupid bullshit that no one believes...

>>7376883
Yeah..He did the same with Pier Solar back in the days. The flashcarts can obviously break the securities and emulate the extra shitty chips

>>7375460
>can't even explain why.

Well, it would be obvious to anyone understanding what makes paprium cartridge kinda special.
The game relies on an ARM MCU that runs a custom program in its internal ROM to decompress sprite data, produce extra audio channels and communicate with a FPGA. Problem is that internal ROM of STM32 MCUs is protected and there is no known method to dump it.

So, even if:
- the full (game) ROM was dumped (which seems much more complicated than Pier Solar, which was already quite well protected and lasted 2 years before getting dumped)
and
- flashcarts were embarking a compatible MCU (which is not
the case with current flashcarts)
and
- flashcarts replicated Paprium FPGA mapper (which has yet to be reverse engineered) on their FPGA,

the game would still be unplayable because the MCU custom program is not accessible so there is no way to replicate what it does.

So yes, it is highly doubtable that this shit get ever emulated or playable on a flashcart, sorry to crush your dreams.

>>7376057
Because Kega doesn't support the game. Same with Pier Solar. Same with FX Unit Yuki. They're too big.

>>7377946
10 years, I don't care, but everyone knows it will be dumped. I can wait 10 years to see naysayers egos crushed.

>>7377946
Man, too bad the gameplay looks boring as fuck.
With all of that explained, the $200+ asking price seems a liiittle more reasonable, since it seems like it'll be un-emulatable for a while, which admittedly is kind of impressive.

The art is gorgeous, the ambition is admirable, but the fact that they didn't develop an emulatable rom in the process to sell for cheaper than 2 hundie makes me root for everyone trying to dump it that much more.

I'd be stoked about this game if it didn't feel so.. elitist?

>>7378131
Yeah as someone who actually owns the game, the elitist part of this pisses me off. I like the game, sure it's not perfect, but I think it's fun and I wish it would be available to a larger audience. It's just an old game console, the whole community should be able to enjoy new games for it. If Fonzie had a lick of sensibility he would sell the ROM for $20 and would likely sell enough to pay off his debts. I also think people would be a lot more forgiving of its flaws if the game were accessible and not being promoted like the end-all-be-all-greatest-fucking-MD-game-ever (that only the "true believers" are allowed to play).

>>7378217
The reason why Fonzie don't have a ROM available is because hes unable to produce one. He couldn't get his code running on PC, which made testing hard, explains why its barebones and not tested. Also the chips, pcb design, some(most?) code is done by other people. Fonzie's mostly just stealing the fame

80mbit cart.. yeah, highly doubt it's decompressing anything. I can't find any evidence to support your claim. it could bank in data that's compressed (this was common) but highly doubt it's doing any such work. where's the proof? i can't find it.

fonzie claims: "48Khz x 24 channels (FM, PSG, DT128M16VA1LT)." - not only does this chip not exist (you can't find any information about it), the audio is far lower than 48khz that it apparently supports, I'd wager my house that the most of ROM space is occupied with low quality uncompressed 8-bit samples (check youtube for an example of this low quality cancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0H9v7ALCP8 )
so.. is the custom chip dealing with sprites, audio or.. maybe.. the custom FPGA is actually emulating the FM synth chip so it can mix the multichannel samples? if so, that would be fucking hilarious, but I doubt it. there are software routines for the megadrive that have no problem mixing multiple channels of digital audio. we will learn soon enough about what is going on.

> the game would still be unplayable because the MCU custom program is not accessible
that has stopped zero arcade machines in the past from being emulated or supported. care to try again?

>> 80mbit cart.. yeah, highly doubt it's decompressing anything. I can't find any evidence to support your claim.
It was confirmed by Kevtris (Analog Mega SG dev) who analyzed what the game was doing and why there was graphical glitches on MSG. It appears that there is a 2MB SDRAM chip on the cart and the games does VDP DMA to it to get graphic data, which means those data do not come straight from ROM but are decompressed from ROM to on-board RAM on the fly (this is where the 80Mb comes from btw, 64Mb flash ROM + 16Mb RAM for decompressed data)


>.. the custom FPGA is actually emulating the FM synth chip so it can mix...

Absolutely not. Extra audio channels are generated and mixed by the STM32 ARM MCU which has its own DAC and send stereo audio through the two audio inputs available on the cart port . It is sampled audio, not FM.

>that has stopped zero arcade machines in the past from being emulated or supported. care to try again?
Maybe. Well, we will see. My guess is that there are bigger chances to get it emulated at high level with sound & graphic packs, like with earlier Star Ocean SNES emulation attempts.

>but you might just be retarded.
That was totally uncalled for, I'm just being realistic and explaining why, no need to be agressive like a 12-years old child because someone says something that doesn't fit with your expectations. Btw, I am not the only retard saying this, both Kevtris and Neodev (Mega SD flashcart dev also known as Elsemi, i.e a wellknown arcade emulator developer) both said the same thing. I would love to be proved wrong, that said.

>>7380824
>but are decompressed from ROM to on-board RAM on the fly
i see a lot of talk but no proof of this "compression", or any information about how it's compressed. It's all just assumptions right now.
> It is sampled audio, not FM.
you can clearly hear it has sampled audio. the anon wondered about if it was possible that the FM chip was emulated but.. doubted it.

I do thoroughly enjoy how you glossed over the part of how the ROM space is (most likely) wasted by uncompressed sample data. after looking at videos of the game, I am struggling to work out where these sprites are? are they hiding in plain sight? do you need 80mbit to display the same sprites multiple times on one screen? because I see a lot of reuse throughout the game.

>both Kevtris and Neodev (Mega SD flashcart dev also known as Elsemi, i.e a wellknown arcade emulator developer) both said the same thing
they talk a lot but they should start posting specs and technical information beyond VAGUE descriptions.

>That was totally uncalled for

Quick and dirty translation.

"Went today to Game Them All, a shop in Voltaire Street, Paris, the official reseller for WaterMelon products. One of the shop owners told me he was the one to warn Fonzie about a compatibility problem with some megadrive models. He had it happen to his own megadrive. Since the game detects whether it's running on a true sega megadrive, by testing whether all of the chips are present... some sega megadrive models have missing/additional chips, and Fonzie didn't test his anti-piracy program on ALL sega megadrive models, so we have this "bug", lol.

He also told me that the next game AM96 will be an action platformer, Shinobi-like, and not a beat em up like the secret official page implies, and that page no longer points out a release date of "Late 2021" but now it is "Late 2021 or Early 2022". It seems like the beginning of a LONG WAIT for everyone who preordered this new game lol."

>>7380824
They said the same thing because they want to protect the game's comercial life, which is very hypocritical taking into account what their hardware is aimed for...

>>7376454
What the fuck, now the cart have DLC's?

>>7378342
>>7378358
>>7378312
LOL this 80mb works on dgen emulator hehehe. But is full life infinite.

>>7381368
DLC Shock !

>>7381368
Totally possible due to that "Megawire" port, but I wouldn't count on Fonzie actually releasing the device to utilize it and ALSO actually releasing DLC. At most he might sell the Megawire and never get around to releasing anything that uses it. Plus, who the fuck wants to buy an additional device to have the privilege of buying DLC for the game. Worse, I suspect that the DLC would just be an "unlock key" due to the low potential bitrate via the Megawire port. There's evidence via the sound test that there is a lot of content on the cartridge that is either so well hidden nobody can find it, or is locked behind a DLC wall (there are 11 out of 63 songs that nobody has unlocked)

>>7373295
Imagine thinking Fonzie would be able to deliver on this after he still hasn't even been able to deliver the original batch of Paprium preorders.

>>7381656
this was canned. Someone managed to regroup enough preorders, and they went for a rebate instead.

>>7381595
Wow I never even thought about DLC being on the cart but being locked away. If that's true then that's another fucking low, even for Fonzie.
Either way, I highly doubt the megawire ever will be released. It's too niche, no one will buy it, and Fonzie is sitting on an extremely limited time and money budget(loan) due to all the dumb shit he's done and keeps doing.

>>7381656
>Arcade cab

Those non functional things from that failed Paprium party? how many did he have made? at least two.
so Fonz just admitted that he wasted at least 10.000 euros for a failed party. what a terrible businessman.

>>7381595
>Worse, I suspect that the DLC would just be an "unlock key" due to the low potential bitrate via the Megawire port.

Guess that rules out any chances of Fonzie updating the main game to not suck so much.

>>7381595
>>7381769
If it's already on the cart then wouldn't it be possible to access it with a Game Genie?

>>7382248
The Game Genie fails to work for the same reason that the Mega SG doesn't without workarounds (and also why dumping the traditional way doesn't work) -- if the cartridge detects it has power but has not been properly booted up within a specific timeframe it only maps the ROM for the troll minigame. So using a GG means that only the troll game works. We would need a way to apply GG codes from cold boot, and we would probably be blindly poking around anyway because we can't analyze the memory. Someone is going to have to hook up a scope to the Genesis memory, I suppose.

for me, that 80Mb .md file shows the minigame in Mame. Why is so big?

>>7382324
It's the minigame rom duplicated over and over to fill 80MB

>>7382324
Just some moron who doesn't know the difference between 80MB and 80Mb. It's just the minigame copypasted until it reached 80MB.

Realistically, when will we get a playable rom?

>>7382421

4 years.

>>7382421
Hopefully never.

>>7382421
It's not even worth playing. Just forget it. Go play Streets of Rage 2 again.

I dunno, I thought it was fun enough. SoR2 is still better, but I have enjoyed my time with Paprium. Although, if we can get a ROM dumped, we can theoretically rip all the graphics and code a better version for PC or something

>>7382421
Don't listen to the assholes. There will be a rom. When? We don't know... Pier Solar was playable after two years. I don't think it will take another two years, but it will take a while.

I believe is Experience.

If this ever gets dumped, how the fuck could it even work? It looks too good for a 16-bit game, like the cartridge has its own hardware acceleration, and the music isn't even produced by the Mega Drive right? It's a completely unique cart.

Can't imagine it working on real hardware without the same cartridge hardware, and emulators almost certainly couldn't run it either without an update, but first they'd need to know exactly how the cart hardware functions.

>>7387779

I think fonzie is a terrible designer.

Take a look at this fan-created project on a limited program

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5FGXCunvJI

For me, graphics and music may be the only good things in Paprium. In fact, I think graphics and dessign are amazing. Animation and gameplay seem broken.
Cave story graphics, for me as a graphist, are pretty cheap

I think it's possible a similar method might work, actually. I think it could be using the same method, just that this time the mirrored ROM bank actually has playable code in it. Looking at the minigame in a hex editor it does have the text from the main game's copyright screen, so maybe there's a jump somewhere. Fuck, I should have studied asm...

Uhhh hi guys, this is Fonzie. I know you've been waiting 8 years. I know you expected the features I promised. I know you expected better gameplay. I know you expected better animations. I know you still havn't recieved your copy. I know we're not able to give refunds... But please. Buy the Limited EU version again for 400€! It's BARGAIN. Some of the money will be used for producing the remaining 70% of preorders. The rest will go into my wallet, used mostly for gay hookers and coke.
Also please buy my upcoming dolphin penis game and uhh ... ShoWtImE
