Any of you have worked with Dreamcast? I was looking at that "rocket league ripoff" game that's on Steam and has crossplay with Dreamcast and I was amazed.
Is there anyone here who's pretty good with SNES hacking? A friend and I have been working on a translation hack for an SNES game for a while now, but he just got a promotion at work and he's basically going to have to drop out of the project.The game's completely translated, we already have tools for injecting the script, it's basically done, but there's a weird palette bug and a freeze we can't fix about 60% of the way through the game. I have literally no idea where to look for help with finishing this.
Toying with the idea of a retranslation hack for Vampire Hunter/Night Warriors (the second Darkstalkers game) since its text localization was both a complete rewrite and cut a whole lot of content. This something anyone would be interested in?
>>11370547Here's the Japanese the above test is translating. Screen space will definitely be an issue, and wording will have to be chosen accordingly. I'm also thinking about relocating the Continue message at the bottom of the screen to free up more space.
my hack's getting close to being "finished", but i'm starting to want to add a handful of vanilla levels because it's lacking in those. might delay it a few more weeksspoiled for webm contents

don't know if this is the right place, if so I apologize and ignore my post. but what are the current best NES homebrew games? I'm looking for any genre really, as long as it's polished.I currently have picrel
>>11373113Good fucking question, I'd like to know too. I only know good hacks

>>11373126>>11373113 (Me)>>11373126yeah, I was really blown away by what some people were able pull off and although I'm running them on my mini out of convenience, most of them even run on an OG NES.here's from free ones that I've been able to find that look decent:https://morphcatgames.itch.io/https://mteegfx.itch.io/https://parisoft.itch.io/abbaye-neshere's some random videos:Dungeons & Doomknightshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0DMLyE20m0From Below:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL7u5PYtY2AMicro Mageshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFX401vvKTQNEScape!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnFGwzYQTUoProject Bluehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhbaYMYxC5ESpacegullshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuOkfqogLroTapeworm - Disco Puzzlehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_V9L9uDCKsWitch 'n Wizhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0WnM_qZeQ4
>>11372068Super Castlevania Chronicles
keep up the good work
>>11373113Böbl is really impressive. An exploration action game by the Micro Mages devs with heavy emphasis on water physics. I launched it at first just to check out and was soon glued to the screen.
Former Dawn Demo Playthroughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx-gz6pZSYIHow are they doing the souds?Some of you said this game was BS...
>>11374076They're asking 160,000$ for a fucking NES game that isn't going to work on PAL consoles.There's no game, it's just a fucking tech demo.They're asking 80$ for a cart without box.Fuck them.
>>11373780yes! gave it a shot yesterday and it's really fun! looks to be a metroidvania. I also played Spacegulls by the same dev, which is also a great game. it's a flappy bird platformer.another fun one I found is picrel, Blazing Rangers. here's the gem of a trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-neB6Er3Ww
>>11374090the backgrounds look ai generated
>>11374090I think I'll pirate this instead.
>>11375091good luck, the only emulator that runs it is Mesen, because again, its a PC game running on FPGA.
>>11375127Oh fuck that.
>>11375091Go Nintendo online
>>11375127So the main game logic is done by the fpga?How are they generating the music?
Cel modelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i6QJlhjFhw
>>11375397>The cel-shading works by the RSP putting the light intensity into the UV & having a gradient texture serving as a look-up.Ah, the old matcap approach. Basically just Metal Mario, but with a different texture.
>>11374465Another interesting physics-based game is Little Sisyphus. You control a small guy with a giant boulder tied to him and you have to navigate though a maze while carrying that boulder and using it to smash obstacles. All of that is supported by a striking art style inspired by ancient Greek vases.
>>11373780Fun little game. I miss the days when people were putting out stuff like this in Flash or Game Maker every week
>>11375854I came across that one during my search for more games. initially it looked very simple but it seems according to your screenshot that there's more to the game than I initially thought. I'll check it out!I found a list by the dev of From Below/Witch 'n Wiz that lists nearly every NES game currently on itch:https://itch.io/c/1931960/authentic-nes-games>>11376036same, bro.. same. speaking of, remember picrel? they have NES games now! https://spoony-bard-productions.itch.io/eskimo-bobhttps://spoony-bard-productions.itch.io/alfonzos-arctic-adventure
>>11371003Is this what the kids call "dummy thick"?
Did they really fucking restart development of Mega Man: The Sequel Wars? Like, just fucking finish what you've got. 99% of people are going to be emulating or using a flashcart. They won't fucking care if it fits on a cartridge.
Is it possible to use an RTC in GBA homebrew? Do GBA flashcarts even HAVE RTCs?
>>11377267Popular carts should, as many use them for PKMN games.Check out some decomps if you're curious (just be careful with discord groomers).>https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/master/src/rtc.c
>>11377267For homebrew you could try this:https://github.com/felixjones/agbabi/blob/main/docs/agbabi.md#real-time-clock
>>11373113Full QuietI played the shit out of WItch N Wiz, Doomknights, and Alwa. But none of those had that immersion where you write down notes and clues and codes. Full Quiet is GOTY material.
>>11378487>Full Quietdamn, just checked out the trailer and it looks amazing! definitely adding to my list. it looks exactly what I was looking for, like they really pushed the NES to its limits. thanks for the incredible mention! most impressive game I've seen so far.

Is archive.org not working when signed in for anyone else? When not signed in I get the full page with comments and everything but when signed in I only get the image itself.
>>11382910Can confirm the same issue. Weird. File directories are still accessible if you know their links.
SMB Mini is actually pretty freaking good! It's a really well-done project and almost like the sequel to Land that I would've wanted as a kid.FUCK SML2 btw

>>11374090$40 postage and a heap extra for the box but not sure what that includes, I just backed the rom hoping a flash cart will support it eventually
Idea for N64 homebrew: Use Gameboy cartridges from the transferpak as memory cards. Gameboy cartridges can have up to 4x the save space as controller paks
Any ideas where PS2 developer and hardware manuals are hosted? So far I've only found these manuals referenced in a forum postDTL-P11021 EE Overview>DTL-P11022 EE User's Manual>DTL-P11023 EE Core User's Manual>DTL-P11024 EE Core Instruction Set Manual>DTL-P11025 VU User's Manual>DTL-P11026 GS User's Manual>DTL-P11027 SPU2 Overview

>>11384163>painted nailseww
>>11380172Still better than anything /hbg/ has ever made
>>11384075There's not much reason for homebrew to use memory cards at all, much less try to replicate them with a GB cartridge. Regular on-cartridge saving is more convenient, provides plenty of storage, and doesn't require any additional hardware.
>>11384531That's pretty sweet desu
>>11384531stop shilling it, nobody's buying
/vp/ tourist here since /wfg/ there is dead. I am looking to trade some gen 3 Pokemon online with someone else playing gen 3 but can hardly find a good emulator that does this other than local multiplayer. All I could find is this thread/emulator but I have to share my IP address with the other which I do not want:https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/wx2v8y/guide_how_to_play_gba_games_online_lan/Is it really that hard to just trade online with a 20 year old game? >pokecommunityChecked the forum main page and trade corner but don't see anything on emulating/how to set up online trades themselves. Hope anyone here can help me
>>11383107Bro, give him a break, for a GBStudio game, its ok, i just wish they figure it out how to fix that damn bad right scrolling.Then again GBStudio was made as a visual novel/top view RPG pokemon clone engine.
>>11374076Its using the Famicom's expansion audio with a custom mapper. Expansion audio works by having the consoles audio output loop-back through a cartridge pin, where-in the circuity inside the cartridge can modify the audio in any way possible. Back in the day, the FDS and cartridges that took advantage of the pin only added a few audio channels so as to not make hardware too expensive, but theoretically there's no limit to what you can do with it. There is a custom mapper which lets you stream CD quality audio through the Famicom using an SD card.
>>11370534I'd try asking on the "Help Wanted" section of the romhacking.net forums. Despite the website not taking new entries for hacks, their forums are pretty active.
>>11368554currently doing a Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball short season with muh Atlanta Braves. playing with updated 2023 rosters and players/stats. as far as i could tell, no one had made a "dh always on" game genie code, so first thing i did was that. now i have the greatest mlb lineup of all time:>acuna jr>albies>riley>olson>ozuna from tha braves>trav daddy darnaud>eddie rosario>arcia>money mike harristhis lineup, combined with fried, strider, morton, kyle wright (i think i will just for fun update the pitching staff with chris sale and spencer schwallenbacher) and iglesias for the closer is absolutely RETARDED in this game. i haven't scored less than 15 runs in a single game. i'm beating the games i am definitely "supposed" to lose, like max fried gave up 8 runs in the first inning against the pirates and i still won like 19-14. acuna had 3 run, inside the park home run. strider just threw a CGSO against the Nationals (who are in the game, i didn't make the full mod, just modding the mod). it's fucking awesome lol. here's acuna's stats thru three games. i can share the "dh always on" code. it's two lines, one for p1 and one for p2. i haven't experimented, but i assume i could theoretically have one team play with the DH and the other team make the pitcher bat lol. what's cool about the code is the game 100% recognizes it as an option that can no longer be changed, so it gives the cool "bdddbdddbdd" sound effect when you try to change it lol
>>11386536Back in high school, the best option for this was VBA over some shit like Hamachi.Looking into it now, nobody else ever even tried to improve on that in nearly 20 fucking years.You'd think with the decomps, we'd have some online trading hub or something. But nope.
Can anyone help this guy expand the ROM ?https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=39680.0The game is MMC3, surely it's been done before right? I've seen hacks that turn MMC3 into expanded MMC5
>>11386536Yo fellow /vp/fag here, this is the only thing I can come up with:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCmlRqm4PBwThe video is about specifically using retro handhelds, but the concept should be about the same. In theory you could try the same steps for remote Wi-Fi using Retroarch on your PC or whatever, using your saves and making sure you're both running the same versions of the game, and it should probably work? Maybe? I've never actually had someone to test this with, so I dunno. But it's all I've got.
>>11387242Never tried it myself, although if you browse through Disch's old posts you might find some relevant discussions. He was very knowledgeable about NES hacking and emulation in general.
>>11387083It's weird that there is basically no community around this
>>11387713Thanks but apparently RetroArch only does local/couch multiplayer
>>11388175?Use the gpSP core for netplay, that has link cable emulation.

>>11384163Found it https://github.com/DarrenRainey/PS2-Programming-Docs/There's also a PS2 system programming manual that just combines them
>>11388176I will look into this tomorrow
>>11373216I know some of these are free, but are any of the others, like Dungeons & Doomknights, available free anywhere, by chance?
>>11380272Answer how or kill yourself, Australian manchild brand warrior.>>11377061Bad if true.
Apparently 2024 gave us two completely separate translations of Otogirisou, the original Sound Novel for Super Famicom.https://www.translated.games/snes/otogirisouhttps://github.com/ButThouMust/otogirisou-english
>>11388267>>11384163Otaku thread!
>>11389359I knew about Tom's. How's the other one, and how does it compare to Tom's?
>>11389526Haven't played it yet, but the repository has all tools for making a patch included, including the entire English script in text form.
>>11388176>>11388292No idea where to download this.

>>11391003Thanks anon, these look goodhttps://archive.org/download/ps2_sdkshttps://archive.org/download/extreme-g3-racing-source-code3.0.3 was the last leaked version according to Retro Reversing, the part developed by Cygnus looks like it was ported to ps2devI've been extracting indexed textures and models from my fav game to understand the formats, then will try initializing EE/GS to clear the screen and draw. A spinning cube demo is 12kb before vertex/color data, so only 3000 instructions
>>11368554>romhackplaza.org>romhackheaven.comThese two should probably be merged, given the competition from RHDN clones. Integrating the old RHDN database would also be a good idea. Moroever, shifting some of the Discord discussions over to the forum should boost activity there.
>>11389526The writing is less poetic than in Tom's script and the font is worse IMO.Otogirisou is a pretty terrible game regardless though. Pic related is better.
>>11391365the plaza should just be shut down honestly what a sad website
More homebrew talk. Some good Dreamcast homebrew.Another World HD just has a much better framerate than SNES.Beats of Rage allows many characters.Cave Story's port is pretty accurate.Gunlord is tough but fun.Never finished Stormwind, remember it was all right.I discovered most of them herehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dreamcast_games#Unlicensed_gameshttps://vsrecommendedgames.fandom.com/wiki/Dreamcast/HomebrewBit surprised Wikipedia even has a section. Anyone know if Völgarr is worth a play?
>>11391397don't know what that's about, but it's the biggest accepter of new hacks thus farit could definitely do with some tweaks here and there
>>11391449I'm all for having multiple sites honestly. Hell even Github repos. It's incredible NeoRHDN still isn't accepting submissions though.
>>11374090Even better, spec's say it only works on the N8 Pro with extra patches just to make the header read. Got another flash cart? Oops, better shill Krikzz another $399.>>11375091It's gonna take a while yee matey, the whole thing is extremely limited platform wise atm. Mesen only. Again with extra instructions.>>11375331As far as I know the game logic is handled by the NES. The game struggles to handle 3 sprites on the same scanline and flickers hard when de-synced. The cartridge logic only handles streaming said logic. Music is sampled per note then played with DPCM.
>>11391592What's the point of making an NES game if it only works in MESEN?
>>11391594From what I've gleamed it's mostly >Look at how good we can get this to look with 100MB ROM size!vs>This 3D game runs on UNROM in 32KB.Some developers want to work with original constraints, others want to bend them to their will. It's what separates Micro Mages from Former Dawn. Both got 160k. Micro works with everything because it fit's into NES spec's. Former works with next to nothing because it breaks out of them. Honestly it's somewhat a disease in NES development. Custom boards lead to drastic changes to cartridge functionality which leads to low compatibility. Rather than learn the MMC5 (an official board) the focus is set to how much further they can push the NES without thinking of the long term. Hell Super Tilt Bro's Rainbow expansion mapper's is planning to use wifi cross-play. Good luck getting that in ROM form.

>>11374076>>11374090>>11391592>>11391639WTF?Use the SNES already then...I feel like there is no point in doing so, even more if you can't reuse the mapper for other games.I mean, the Wolfeinstein GB cartridge at least published the "mapper"'s files...
>>11391592>Even better, spec's say it only works on the N8 Pro with extra patches just to make the header read. Got another flash cart? Oops, better shill Krikzz another $399.They say they want to use 32MB for the game and the N8 Pro only supports 16MB, so the N8 Pro shouldn't work either.>>11391594Retardism.
