Gaming Discussion / Re: You ever accidently buy a game you already own?

« on: March 19, 2009, 03:01:18 PM »

The only game I've ever bought a duplicate of is FF for NES. The first one I bought (used from a rental store) had a shot battery the moment I got it. A couple years later, I bought another from somewhere else (Collector's Connection, local chain I believe). It had a good battery. Unfortunately, no thanks to the events of 1996, I wound up losing that good copy and almost all of my NES and some of my SNES collection.

I could've sworn a couple of your last ones had no/header patches as well. Maybe I'm thinking of ZED or Imzog?

Interesting story. I just returned from Gamestop, where I had to return a copy of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes my brother had just bought for me on Monday. The disc was getting constant read errors at the title screen. I got as far as making a save on my memory card before ultimately giving up. Luckily my brother had the thought of giving me the receipt in case something goes wrong. So, I go up there and look for another copy of Echoes, which they did not have. I spent about an hour looking through the collection of stuff, and I come across Marvel vs Capcom 2. I saw the price and did a spit-take, then took it up to the counter and asked them if it was a typo.

"No, that's no typo. The game is extremely rare."

The price? $79.99, used. Seriously, if I had a camera, I'd have taken a picture for you guys to see. It's that outrageous.

The difference is almost non-existent. A header is simply 512 bytes that comes before the actual rom. They'll either be copier headers (used for copiers on the hardware) or NSRT which has info about the rom that the emulators do use. Neither are needed. However, us FF6 patch makers feel like making it as easy on everybody as possible.

Basically, apply the patch to the rom you have. Simple, yes?

He was slightly older than I thought he was (62). Rest in peace.

I've had system notifications sitting there waiting for me to be checked for a few months now, but I never check them.

You have been modded.

I gave up on checking on those. But now...I have to check to see if this craziness was in my box.

Could FF6 hard type 3d be upon us?

As they say in rom hacking, "anything is possible with enough effort, realistically."

As such, I prolly shouldn't have mentioned it, but I wanted to rally up the troops and see what kind of support this would get while keeping under SE's radar.

It sounds interesting, but this sounds more like a homebrew than anything else. In which case, I'd aim for something on the PS or PC (I'd say PS2, but the emulation for it is rather crappy at the moment, not that the PS is much better).

yeah, post is all over the place, but that's my head lately anyway.

Posting it all over the place will being the C&D letters so quickly you won't know what hit you.

General Discussion / Re: Question about NSF files

« on: February 28, 2009, 08:27:10 PM »

If there is an NSFE of what you want, you can use that to fulfill the play twice requirement. For the other, hit Alt+3 on the NSF to bring up a dialog, click on Shadow->Winamp to dump all tracks to the playlist. Prune from there. Delete the original NSF from the playlist, and you have the specific tracks you want to play.

I don't have 7z. Besides, rar works just as well for something like this.

Prepare to cry:



If the hack were to be released today, that would be the size of the patch. Using WinRAR to compress that down as best it can, the size is 807 KB as a rar, 861 KB as a zip. That's not including everything else that will be included with the patch. So yeah, this is a threshold most translations don't even cross.
