M2 makes new retro games specifically for release on mini consoles and collections. After Genesis Mini 1 they started to copy protect their roms to not work out the gate on emulators. Apparently this is done specifically to fuck repro makers, but people who want to download games for free get hit as well.

when nintendo made the NES and SNES classic, they knew beforehand that they would be hacked, and at the end they didnt gave a shit, not even for Starfox 2, a game way more important historically than all the extra games on the GGMicro or Genesis mini 1 or 2. why would other companies would care as to make the extra games nonplayable?.

Super awesome. Will be good to see it converted to sms but looks like there will be a downgrade in colours. My pile of gg's is busted at the moment.

>>10085883
They have the rights. Maybe if they sell a lot they will make new games like they did with Shante. A lot of it is wanting a physical game even if it is for switch. I was going to get the megadrive mini but they had all sold out anyway but the roms for that would be a very small % of the cost of that system. If the developer did sell those roms on steam for $10 I would buy them, it would encourage them to make more. I'd say its only a ripoff if they do nothing to improve the roms, with Jim Power genesis they finished off the incomplete game which is why I thought the Jim power collection was well worth it.

A proper Mark IV with Game Gear's extra color pallet, Master System II's higher resolution, more ram, CPU over clock, the extra VDP chip of the Sega System E (still with the extras) and the YM2413 included in a MiSTer FPGA core will make a truck load of sense.

That Twinbee Returns hack blends all bin files into a single one, so I isolated the second track (TokiMemo's game data) and the image weights much less as a result, specially when converted to CHD.

shut up paypiggy

oink oink oink, who's a little paypiggy? Good little consumer, good little piggy. Smells like swine..yet somehow lower than dirt.

Piracy will always win. Piracy is game preservation, game archival, and it will not be stopped. The mighty denuvo has fallen and so shall any other copy protection that will work on a 16-bit processor. You really think you can beat us? Look at how much money Denuvo makes yearly. They get pumped like your mom at a frat party. Yet with all that money spent on development, those games still get cracked.. you know why? Because if it exists, and the data is in front of me, I *WILL* fucking have it. If the data is on my computer, on my disk, it's as good as mine. You can use your little tricks to keep out normies, but your foolish tricks don't work on me, paypiggy. I'll have your code doing *my* bidding and there's nothing you can ever do to stop me. And here's the thing, say you do keep *me* out- you've got a million other people who are even nerdier and geekier than me- in fact I wouldn't even bother with this sorta thing myself, I'd rather program something meaningful- but you'll never keep out the *real* pirates. The real scene hackers have been doing this sorta thing since the first two games came out, and you won't stop them. It's no use and it's a waste of money to spend anything on DRM. Digital Restrictions Meme will die like the dinosaur and nobody will miss it.. all it's done is made it harder for people to play these damn games. I'm actually the type of person that will grab a game on gog if they don't try some stupid shit like this. In fact the only software I use that's pirated these days are games not on GOG or games that are overpriced on steam/designed for older platforms yet somehow still on steam

Thanks for the input anon.
I thought new releases for old consoles were mostly a hobbyst thing.

Anyway, is there a decent website to keep track of them?

Not sure myself, but when the patch was revealed publicly, a lot of M2 Japanese fans were mad about it. Maybe it's referring to that?

Give money to M2 if you can, they deserve it.

Nobody mentioned this but the rom is lacking a sound channel. The music isn't working correctly.

You've only played this with savestates for 10 minutes then forgot about it in your rom folder.
That is why the little badges and leaderboard is so important, it encourages actually learning the game.

I'm not a narcissist so that shit doesn't interest me. Play games for the satisfaction of playing them, not for attention / dicksucking.

Gameplay video does sound blander than the ost uploads, which seems more accurate to game gear games in general. Would like to hear from people playing on og hardware if its still the case or not.

Leaderboard updating in real time is very addicting.

It's definitely missing an accompanying instrument.
Looks like the cracking team had trouble with sound or they left sound for last.

Wrong take. Scoring is half the point of shmups.

He didn't say you can't play for score, just don't flaunt your scores, replays, etc. to the public.

Sounds like we should make this issue about it widespread. Don't want any more fake "good cracks" like this, and hopefully someone can fix it if this issue about it becomes known.
