How feasible would it be to replace several/most/all the enemy sprites in lethal enforcers?

Just a small little demo for the Game Boy / Game Boy Color. No real point to it or anything. Just something I wanted to try out.

[Anonymous No.10719816]

>>10719814
The way it works is by using a precomputed distortion map made of 2D offsets. For each pixel of the globe, it takes a value from the distortion map, adds the current camera position, and then uses the result to sample a 256x256 source texture. This gives it a globe-like shape, but the same technique could be applied to other shapes as well.

As for rounding out the corners, that's done by filling the corners of the distortion map with a special sentinel value. The renderer knows to look for said value and, if found, always draw black for that pixel.

All-in-all it's a pretty simple effect. Just thought I'd share.

How is the state of emulation on hacked Wiis, before I sink another welfae check on controllers and adapters? (that I am likely to just also use with PC anyway) I already have all the usual 3GHz HLE emulators installed on my computer and I've been having a lot of fun with those, and I can't stress enough that they look really nice as well, but I am trying to get that 240p resolution output for hooking up to a CRT for that AUTHENTIC EXPREIENCE which is why I'm digging out my old Wii again.

I'd look up videos on the topic but any videos that have any actually useful information and offer comparisons between emulator and hardware are 10+ years old

the main dealbreaker for me is going to be SNES9X, and really all I care about because I own every console past that. I can say I remember it having no problems with LTTP about a year ago when I tried this beforehand with a different TV, and it looked (to my knowledge) great too, but that TV didn't have a reliable sound output for me to gauge the emulators audio capabilities.

Is the input lag still relatively "bad"? I saw forums from like 10 years ago brought this issue up a lot and it's reasonable to believe that that would be the one thing that hasn't been improved upon in all those years.

anyway I was just pondering all this cause I've been really enjoying HLE emulation so much on my PC and just wanted to see how much of that experience I can preserve playing these games on a 20 year old console to get a more authentic TV and controller experience as well.

If you mean fix the "dot crawl" effect, then sure that's possible. However, it would make the framerate look lower since it would be refreshing all at once instead of spreading it out over multiple frames.

[Anonymous No.10722254]

Speaking of this question >>10721172, can anyone here help me with this problem?:

The English translation of Custom Robo (and Chameleon Twist (JP), for that matter) "Fails to save" on (at least) Wii's N64 emulators like Not 64 and Wii64. It not only displays that message, but it doesn't even create save data AND it doesn't even let me save state!

Any idea how to fix this? What line of code in a hex editor do I need to edit? Every change I've made to it causes worse issues (such as the games failing to start at all). Related to this point, I've noticed a bunch of "@" symbols appear next to the header names when starting up those (specific, disfunctional) games, but why do they show up?

Thanks for your help, anons.

The first one is for Bikkuriman World - Gekitou Sei Senshi and is an addendum for the old teaser patch which fixes a critical crash in the late game and ""translates"" many more gameplay related elements like skill names, character names, items, etc

The second one is for Dragon Ball 3 - Gokuu Den and changes the attack types in the middle of cards to drawings (most of which I took from the translation of DB2) and the kanji defense numbers to dots

Not gonna release these "officialy" because they are quick shit job, I just did this for myself to make gameplay a little more understandable but maybe it will interest someone else

Hey, dumb question: Does homebrew strictly apply to making new games for old hardware or does it extend to making new games using old authoring tools? If I made a game using Macromedia Flash 8, would that count as a homebrew or just a more difficult way doing something that could've been more easily accomplished using a modern engine?

[Anonymous No.10724426]

>>10724385
Wikipedia says that homebrew, when applied to video games, refers to software produced by hobbyists for proprietary video game consoles which are not intended to be user-programmable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrew_(video_games)
According to that, if you use Flash 8 to make a PC game it would not be homebrew.

[Anonymous No.10724456]

>>10724426
Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused about it because new Flash content has been made in recent years for the purpose of taking advantage of a Flash emulator called Ruffle. I think interactive Flash content is considered defunct retro tech at this point, but I'm not sure what the exact term is to describe a hobbyist continuing to develop games with it and distribute it via emulation.

[Anonymous No.10724748]

>>10724456
Wikipedia isn't the source of all truth, and everyone has a different meaning for homebrew.
For example, according to wikipedia definition msx can't have homebrew since it isn't a video game console.
It also ignores commercial homebrew, since it is a hobby thing.

How do I find dialog in the files output by mgbdis? I want to translate some old JP exclusive gameboy games. I'm fluent in JP but am retard tier with computers. I ran the mgbdis disassembler and got a bunch of assembly files, but I don't see any actual text to translate in any of them. Surely the game must load them from somewhere.

Not that anon, but...
The technical part of translating games can get pretty, well, technical. Unless you have some programming knowledge, it can be difficult to understand what exactly you're dealing with. Maybe start by writing a simple program for the system? It might not be the most direct approach, but it worked well enough for me.

[Anonymous No.10727154]

>>10727109
I don't know shit about GB but on NES you can often just check the PPU tiler viewer and see the alphabet to know which tile corresponds to which byte. Of course it's not always that simple as some games may have an extra step in the process, for one reason or another (like in the case where they need to put a tile above another to have the full character etc). You'll have to figure out by yourself bytes for special instructions like return to line as well. In the case of the NES sometimes you can check a line in the PPU RAM, and if the string appears identical in the ROM, then you're in luck. Again I'm not sure how much of that applies to GB.

Last I remember, the untranslated roms work as they should, yes. So what could be the issue with the translated roms, and why are they displaying "@@@@" in their header?

In an editor for either of these games (as well as with the translated version of "Wave Race 64: Rumble Pak Version") those "@" symbols don't show in the header name, but they do show up when the emulator displays the header name. I don't think every N64 hacked rom has this same issue, just these specific translation hacks (that I know of). By the way, I guess it's significant to note that both of these patches were done by different hackers, so it doesn't seem to be the issue of a specific translator's.

So, what about these translation hacks do you think may be causing these "@" symbols to appear in the header name concurrently with disabling saving (whether battery saves or save states)?

There have been other reports of this same problem here https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-robo-english-patch-cant-save.591021/

With there now being a pretty solid Virtual Boy emulator available for the system it makes the most sense to have one on (the 3ds for those not following along) I'm looking into finding some homebrew roms to make use of within the emulator given that a lot of the free stuff I've tossed at it seemed to work well enough I was curious if there's any paid Virtual Boy homebrew titles (I've only got about 6 or 7 myself) worth checking out that can be had as roms

what the hell is this referring to
i had no problem doing literally everything to the 3ds and putting hundreds of games on it, a bunch of emulators, h shop, transferring files with FTPD or whatever, it all works great and it was super easy

but this guide just starts right off talking about some SD card and a "wiiu" folder on it and i have no idea what they're talking about

i thought at first they meant to put a SD card into the SD card slot and format it and then that folder would show up but no, this is impossible, wii u wont format that card and theres nothing on it after plugging it back into my computer

is there some SD card inside it that i need to take out? i already fucked up and removed and reinserted some battery for no reason thinking that was maybe it

i downloaded a "signature patcher 2sys" something or another from the store from the direction of vague reddit retards who can barely type a coherent sentence and it still isnt working

GBA ROM speed is controlled by a r/w hardware register. You can just read some bytes from ROM at the lowest speed, increase the speed, and then compare them to the bytes you read at a higher speed. If they match, it's stable.

got a near mint CIB 50004 satin silver with 2 controllers plus a black 39004, some black controllers and a bunch of memory cards and demo discs for under 60€
just be patient, ebay is never worth it just wait for your local normies to empty their storage

even though i didn't send in a postcard i'm still a bit disapointed that they ended up deciding to release it this way, the idea of an extremely limited physical-only release was just really cool to me

Is it possible to make a Super NES/Super Famicom game? And if so, how difficult would that be?

[Anonymous No.10749975]

>>10749968
If you don't know if it's possible to make a game or not it's going to be extremely difficult to make one.

Yeah, I just looked at the 3 links for SNES development in the OP and am realizing it would be extremely difficult, especially considering I'd have to learn C or Assembly.

You'd be best to check out SGDK for the Mega Drive instead, as it is far easier.

Shit resolution and audio though, plus there is a bigger developer community on the Mega Drive than either SNES or GBA combined, meaning it is easier to find support.

It didn't. The Mega Drive is regarded as having some of the highest quality audio of it's era, which is why there are many VST's and hardware synthesisers purposely built to emulate it. The uninformed opinion you're parroting is straight from 2008, get with the times.

I'll be honest, the only reason I considered it is because I was looking at auctions for games and saw this cartridge with its label stripped completely off for some reason. I thought it'd be neat to try and make a custom sticker for it with my own creations. After that, I remembered how some people made their own unique games for retro consoles, and with the open source cartridge reader I have, I could put my own game onto this thing. It was the sort of idea 10 year old me back in 1994 would have loved.

start with nes, it has a lot less memory and ways of changing the graphics to confuse you. Just try it, if its someone your into then you will want to learn.

Kinda bummed this thread is this dead. I just wanna ask if I should get a Gamecube. I'm big on PS2, but never had a GC. I would assume it's worth it? Not that expensive anyways. Just not sure how difficult/expensive hacking it is. PS2 for example is super easy. Many different methods. Many QOL mods. What about the GC?

Fuck it I just bought a silver NTSC-J 001 model and I'll be waiting for the flippydrive mod to come out.

Didn't notice you replied. My local market is trash. I paid like 80 on ebay for a seemingly pretty clean 5000x aqua blue a few days ago. Paid 110 for this GC as well. Probably overpaid on both but fuck it, they look quite clean.

I asked an opinion based question, illiterate retard. Whether a GC is worth it or not if I have a PS2 already. Nobody asked about spoonfeeding or anything, especially not your zero knowledge having ass. The other question was if modding is difficult or expensive, which is a quick yes or no question. I'm sure as fuck not gonna go through your autistic and useless link spam. The few ones I opened out of curiosity had outdated information anyways. I've already decided I'm getting the flippydrive mod and will most likely get a GC loader while I wait. I'm so tired of faggot redditors like you getting triggered over nothing and blocking any thread discussion with your cringe links.

You didn't even read my post, dubmass, because nobody asked anything about the PS2. You just saw "PS2" in there and started spamming your garbage. Fucking bot.

Does anyone know how can I rip the graphics from SNES games, specifically the SMT games, in a reliable way? Or, is there a texture dumb for these games anywhere?

I want to make a texture pack for DOOM II, but I want to avoid having to manually replicate these textures/sprites, it would be better if I could start from the originals and simply adapt the resolution.

For B3313 v1.0, the ROM is pretty large (96MB, also on v0.9 and Unabandoned; unofficial version) because, a combination of the SM64 ROM Manager tool, pretty much didn't know about MIO0 compression + Chris absolutely refusing to optimize (not bloat) the ROM to the original 64MB.

Play v1.0 official if you want more polished and many new areas & levels, actual canon plot & lore and most bugs ironed, as well as revised sound effects, music & textures.
v1.0.1 TRUE final hotfix 2 is pretty much the official and true final version of B3313, according to notvillager, the uploader of B3313 v1.0 builds on the Internet Archive.
