So, Poopriumium is now gonna be playable on Everdrive

https://x.com/krikzz/status/1946277801910297077

We've just had 200+ post thread.

>>11879135
Not everyone is chronically on /vr/ like you are.

huh? i thought krikzz liked sucking indiedev dicks.
i guess he has to justify the high pricetag of his shit one way or another.

wheres the rom doe

>>11879475
this board is slow as hell, you can be here once a week and still be up to date on everything that went on

>>11879531
There's also that threads only stay up for a week until they become unbumpable, but there could be more discussion to be had with new developments.

Anyway Paprium playable on Everdrive is gonna be cool.

>>11879116 (OP)
Yeah, I told you it would
Everyone said it wouldn't last thread
Krikzz is based and fuck Russia

Insane sour grapes about this game.
People absolutely seething that they couldn't play it while whining about how terrible it must surely be.

>>11879479
Fonzie pissed everyone off so badly that even the most diehard leftards turned on him.

>>11879827
Nah not really, it's just people want to be able to play everything, not that they'll like it or even play it, just knowing that they can

>>11879839
Yeah, considering he raised $895k to do a digital console release and hasn't delivered, fuck him.

Support for my cheapo chinese Everdrive when krikzzz??? WHEN

>>11879839
i haven't really been paying attention to this bullshit, but watermelon? the guys that made pier solar? they turned into scamming dickheads?

>Still uses the audio file workaround

It's cool that it's running on Everdrives now even if only because this means it will likely be supported on my MiSTer soon too as it uses a similar FPGA chip, but I am not really interested in these half-measures. Wake me up when they actually get the sound hardware working and don't have to rely on audio files ripped off the soundtrack CD to have music in the game.

Reminds me of when you needed graphics packs for games like Far East of Eden Zero or Star Ocean in ZSNES to bypass the compression chips before support for the chips themselves was finally added. IIRC those only lasted a few months before the emulators were able to do it without the need for the packs anymore. Hopefully fully cracking Paprium and getting it's music working natively won't take another five years.

>>11879891
>i thought krikzz liked sucking indiedev dicks
>the guys that made pier solar? they turned into scamming dickheads?
Like >>11879839 said, Fonzie pissed off everyone so much that pretty much everyone who would normally be in support of indie devs has turned on him and are basically encouraging people to pirate the game now. I have only seen a single literally who French dude defend him on YouTube... and that person's own fanbase tore him apart in the comments for doing so.

I remember Krizz used to be against supporting Piar Solar on the Everdrive, but has since added support. I don't recall if this was simply due to Piar Solar becoming old enough so piracy would not effect it as much anymore or because of this incident but he clearly does not care for Fonzie anymore, which is a sentiment just about everyone in the retro/homebrew community has shared for a while now.

>>11879882
>Yeah, considering he raised $895k to do a digital console release and hasn't delivered, fuck him.
The dude had TWO kickstarters, one for the physical release that he insisted would only work on a real Genesis and would not even boot on clone consoles (which is a stupid move) so much so that even some people with a real Genesis had trouble getting it working (for the small handful that got a copy), was in dev hell for years and when people were getting angry he had a "party" to show it off where it was barely functional with no enemies or anything to do, and then had a SECOND kickstarter where be promised finally a digital version where nobody got ANYTHING. Dude talked big, took a million dollars, then disappeared.

>>11879886
>Support for my cheapo chinese Everdrive when krikzzz??? WHEN
I wouldn't hold your breath, not unless your cheap clone cart is on par with the most expensive model that can emulate the SegaCD, picrel.

>>11879475
There's an archive.

>>11880119
I was a sucker for buying an X7, just have to sell the pro for a couple of years to unveil the one that has a 32X in it unless someone else does one and then he'll do it the next day.

>>11879489

not retro

>>11880904
Homebrew and aftermarket releases for retro systems up to sixth generation are permitted.

Wait, this shit was 4 years ago?

>>11881357
Thinks a modern device will "not last" compared to a device made 30 years ago when it's a common thing nowadays for people to replace the caps of consoles that are 20-30+ years old

... this guy really is on Fentanyl isn't he?

>>11879531
Okay and? You aware people have lives? Or do you sit in mother's basement all day like the good little sex slave you are. Fucking loser.

>>11881457
You should read the manifesto which he included with the shipped games (aside from an extra small male thong)

>>11879479
He does but you can't buy Paprium anymore so there's no point in keeping it on the everdrive blacklist.

>>11881606
So does he just blacklist the indie releases that are cart releases, not ROM releases?

>>11881872
He blacklists anything that's considered "new", as in released for a console after it's met end of life support and was put up for sale by the developer or publishing partner. Of course he can't actually block any game that just werks, but if there's some anti-piracy measures put in place then krikzz isn't going to try to circumvent it unless there's practically no other way to play the game anymore.

>>11881908
Ah, so like actual proper publishing efforts, and not just Itch.io digital releases.
So naturally, Earthion whenever that comes out.

>>11879489
IIRC one of the video game threads on /t/ claims to have a pack with it. Saw it, came with a retro arch emulator too (suspicious) but it had the soundtrack and rom which seems pretty good.

Stole money.
Circumvented kickstarter payment process.
Gave influencers free copies first.
Black epoxy inside carts which leaked.
Lied about digital release.
Made another fake kickstarter.
Stole money again.
Lied about chibi game gear version.
Insulted other MD indie devs.
Argued with factory causing no more prints to be made.
Had a tier system where the more you paid the better chance you had of receiving your order.

The guy was an absolute shit.
The game itself is MID at the very least. Yes it has nice big sprites but everything else about it is just bland. It feels like an unfinished game because IT IS an unfinished game which was rushed out for release because they were upsetting backers with their excuses.

The x2 hidden characters are shit especially electra.
The main 2 guys are garbage.
Alex should of been in a bunny girl suit - this alone would of added sales.
The entire games world is stole from the anime Cyber City Odeo 808. Yet because Fonzie is a hack theres no story behind the game and what you are told is crap. This is apparently due to the game being rushed out and story content cut.

They could of made the main guy a raincoat wearing detective while the other guy could of been a half robotic wrestler

The music is just loud or terrible and doesnt fit at all.
All the enemies are cheap copies of other enemies from other games.

This game wont be remembered for it being good or special. Itll be remembered for the dev being a shit, the other devs never stepping up to fix his mistakes, scamming people out of money, customers never getting orders and it being known as that game with the bad rep.

All for what? A game which plays like a shitty snes title such as rival turf but without any effort to put a story in

There's commits now to try to get this running on either GenPlusGX or RA on the Wii if you wanna know.

I don't know where to even begin with that rambling nonsense, but holy fuck does this guy have both issues and an ego to rival Steve Jobs. I would be shocked if drugs are not involved at this point.

>>11882751
ROM link when

>>11882829
Just search for "Not Paprium", it's on Archive.org.
The bundled cores in that upload aren't up to date but the pertinent ROM and soundtrack data is in there.

>>11882920
thx sauceman

>>11881595
>Paprium is best played with a 6 button controller.
Why!? Its just 3 buttons. Special, attack and jump. Even then jumping in this game (and running) is completely pointless.

>Would I do it all again?
He did. He opened another kickstarter and started stealing money, got people to pay him outside of kickstarter, got found out, lied and took the money and disappeared.

>>11879839
Also isn't the game only like 85% finished and incredibly buggy?

Fonzie deserves to have his game stolen and be laughed at in the process

>>11882951
The ROM alone is currently a bit useless without the music tracks, but most dumps include the music tracks too. Just know those are a work-around because people have not managed to fully reverse-engineer it's sound hardware yet.

>>11883057
>Why!? Its just 3 buttons. Special, attack and jump. Even then jumping in this game (and running) is completely pointless.
Probably to feel "Maximum authentic 90s" or some shit, I mean, did you read the rest of that crap? Also I would not call umping useless, since apparently you can completely break the AI by doing nothing but jump kicking.

>>11883475
I know it has a bug where some pillars in a subway have no collision detection, but AFAIK it's not a buggy mess, just not that great. People have been saying that it's unfinished state resulted in cut content like a story. But yes, Fonzie deserves all of this. He has basically completely destroyed any and all reputation of his company with the very tiny niche of customers it could have ever had.

>>11883515
>you can completely break the AI by doing nothing but jump kicking.

So it's the snes port of turtles in time?

>>11883531
Pretty sure jump-kicking does not work on those Foot soldiers that constantly block in hard mode. Also it would not work on the first Shredder boss fight.

>>11883571
>Shredder boss fight.

That's it. Everything else it works on. The game is a cake walk. On 2 player mode it's even easier because you just both jump kick from opposite sides

>>11879116 (OP)
POST ME SOME FAT PAPRIUM TUNES

Why does this game trigger people so much?

>>11884560

>>11881595
Dude is absolutely based. I wasn't going to bother with it because beat em ups have very little replay value and it would take me more time to transfer the rom than I would spend playing it, but this convinced me it's at least worth a play through. Plus Pier Solar is a top 5 Genesis rpg and I didn't realize it was the same dude

it's an incredibly mediocre game and not even worth pirating.

i agree. they are the most capable of programming things for the original hardware.

>>11881973
I seen a lot more decent homebrew titles over the genesis then on NES and SNES, the former literred with putrid NesMaker Imposter syndrome NROM trash and SNES barely anything good due to gimped hardware and assembly nightmares.

it's kinda lame
> SNES barely anything good due to gimped hardware and assembly nightmares.
i've done some programming on snes. it's not as complicated as people think it is. hardest part i found was understanding the audio coprocessor. thankfully i never had to code my own driver, just upload an existing one with my music data to the spc. if you can program a nes or c64, you can prorgam a snes easily yet i don't understand why snes hasn't attracted more demo scene/homebrew activity

>>11884721
Nah, I will pirate it. Should have released digital ROM for Gennie, not playing emulated crap with 5 frames of lag. Besides, he already sold out to EXA so you're getting less content by default anyway.

Not him but I want to buy a physical release that isn't manufactured by Limited Run. Knowing their recent output it'll be running on recycled chips without a beveled edge.

Has Fonzie replied to this in any way?

>>11885315
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if LRG's next cartridge release doesn't just have one massive epoxy blob on it like so many cheap Chinese bootleg electronic toys from years ago.

>>11885315
Judging from the recent Doom carts that Shantae reaction has lead to them changing things up

>>11885315

That reminds me, my LRG Shantae Advance Collector's Edition should be shipping soon.
Some US customers already got theirs, but I wanna know if the gold carts have the same shit with suspect looking chips that the purple carts had.

>>11885330
Hopefully but I won't buy until reviews for the cart are out and knowing LRG they'll limit it to 500 and force people to pay scalper prices

>>11886218
Well I just read that Bitmap Bureau were the ones that made the PCB’s so LRG can still fuck it up with the release

I feel so old.

>>11887494
They are infamous for taking months to literal years from taking your money until they finally ship something
They were caught re-releasing 3DO games for $70 and when people opened it they were just a burned CD-R and not a pressed disk
They at first tried to deny this/sweep it under the rug as not an issue but were forced to relent
Their higher ups were caught saying something along the lines of "they will never open it to check anyway"
Their release of Risky Revolun for GBA had clearly recycled chips that appear to be very old and were likely taken out of other games/devices instead of purchased new
They at first tried to deny this/sweep it under the rug as not an issue but were forced to relent

Probably other things I forgot too

It's been a pattern of LRG constantly taking forever to actually ship out orders, being caught cutting corners while they charge high prices, and then trying to deny it. Dosen't help that they have intentionally built their entire service on the concept of FOMO. It also doesn't help that they tend to be the only source for a physical release of many games, likely try to buy up any license they can for anything digital. They have recently been buying licenses for even known shitty games that are a meme to sell those too, for a high price, such as Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.

>>11885317
His only possible response is to release the digital version asap.

Tried it out on my ED, seemed to work fine at first, but crashed after stage 2. Promising start though. I shit you not I was almost going to pay $800 for a copy last month at TMG, but somebody beat me to it. Really dodged a bullet there

>>11887957
This. He could charge $20 for the rom, offer it to everyone on Kickstarter for free as a thank you, with the promise that your cart will eventually come. But he has probably disappeared in China or something.

>>11887713
The few REAL users here are.

>>11887957
Knowing him, any actual response if he hasn't just fucked off with the money forever, is more likely to be wankery about tech that doesn't exist and why his arbitrary setup can't just run digitally.

The Switch version he promised, if it ever materialises, should be trivial to data mine and emulate unless it happens to use some edge case implementation that needs a proper developer to look at.
I doubt the PC release would be hard to crack either.

>>11888280
>I doubt the PC release would be hard to crack either.
I wouldn't be surprised if he uses Denuvo on it

>>11888291
Expensive as fuck DRM that triple A publishers use to minimise piracy on their multi-million selling releases? I doubt it.

Big publishers get deals to put Denuvo on multiple titles, it's why even shit like Balan Wonderworld had Denuvo, for 6 months at least.

>>11888302
>Expensive as fuck DRM that triple A publishers use to minimise piracy on their multi-million selling releases? I doubt it.
There's been several indie games that have used it , as well as big publishers putting it on budget games, S-E even put it on a free game.
Also, does this really seem like something someone as unhinged as Fonzie wouldn't pull?

>it's why even shit like Balan Wonderworld had Denuvo, for 6 months at least.
That's S-E being S-E, they literally put it on everything, see above about them putting it on a free game.

>>11888273
Wasn't Street Fighter Alpha Zero 2 also one of those?

>>11888372
What?

>>11888372
What are you saying?

>>11887521
those are not oldstock, retard.
those are newly produced flashcarts based on opensourced designs.
they are "dirty" because of flux residue and all that crap used to make them.
their only fault is not doing a good job at cleaning them after production while using a transparent shell.

I will not let this thread die, Fonzie needs to be stopped!

>>11888047
>Really dodged a bullet there
Unfortunelly.

I remember the saga involving Pier Solar on the Dreamcast. It was crowdfunded and finished, but there was a gap of several years between the end of development and the game being released. Basically fonzie disappeared into some urban chinese jungle for 3+ years while everyone else involved is sat at the office all of that time apologizing to backers while saying they can't get in touch with him and they have no idea what's going on. As much of a clusterfuck as that was, he did eventually make good on what was promised.

Still not as bad as that bald guy Falco Girgis who got $200,000 in funding for his game, spent it all on drugs and a hair transplant that didn't work and still wormed his way back into the community as if nothing ever happened. Complete garbage of a human being and so is anyone associating with him.

>>11887525
>>11887592
>>11889707
>those are not oldstock, retard.
Timestamp on the SRAM reads 2011 week 24. The flash chip is by Spansion who hasn't existed as an independent entity since 2014 and although Cypress (the company it merged with) still sells the chips, they were built on 90nm process that was used between 2003-2005, so it probably reached end of life a long time ago. The Altera I'm not familiar with but google says the MAX 3064A was discontinued by Intel in 2018 with last orders shipped in 2017 (see Intel notification PDN1620) so I'm pretty sure you can't get newly made ones today.

>those are newly produced flashcarts based on opensourced designs.
Right, someone made a new PCB, awesome. The chips are still 20+ years old, retard.
Now I'm not arguing that they won't still work (these chips are made in huge quantities then stored in warehouses for decades), or that they won't work as they did when new. But you can wax on wax off as much as you want, it's still gonna be old stock.

>>11889707
Hi LRG, are you going to try to defend making people pay $70 for a burned CD-R next?

They're old stock chips, most likely harvested out of other carts.

>>11889918
>Basically fonzie disappeared into some urban chinese jungle for 3+ years while everyone else involved is sat at the office all of that time apologizing to backers while saying they can't get in touch with him and they have no idea what's going on.

That was a $200K Kickstater for a port of a game he had delivered on before... somewhat, the Kickstarter comments for that are full of people complaining they did not get anything or that they had backed at some expensive tier that was supposed to include many extras and got none of them. So no, he didn't "make good on what was promised"

This time he took a million dollars, from two kickstatarters, and delivered a handful of faulty defective carts to bunch of YouTubers and people who backed at ludicrously high tiers, nobody from the second kickstarter got jack shit.

You seriously think he's going to reappear and suddenly fulfill every promise?

8 year old's comebacks, this is what I get for bothering to talk to brainlets

So was it actually ever possible for a Genesis game to look and sound like this or was what I had read true that he used tricks to enhance the game to a level that wouldn't have been possible back in the day?

>>11892120
From what I understand he was claiming it was going to use some super ultra mega special proprietary godchip but if I understand correctly just about all the chips are stock, the are mostly used for copy protection, and all it has special going for it that can't be done on a stock Genesis is the music, which could have been done if it was a SegaCD game anyway. Plus the game even has a fallback mode that uses the Genesis's sound hardware for music, though that does sound worse.

I think he claimed the game also has special features that let it use the additional hardware on the SegaCD for better enemy AI and something called a "Megawire" which I think was some kind of netplay capability. There is what appears to be some sort of jack/port on the top right that was likely meant for that, but I have no idea if it even works at all or does anything, same for if that enhanced AI think even was implemented at all.

Fonzie seems to love trying to make his games optionally use the SegaCD, when I was messing with the ROM I noticed that some emulators were trying to access SegaCD hardware from it even though it's a Genesis game, and with Pier Solar if you have a SegaCD the game had the option of letting you put the soundtrack CD in it and play the game with enhanced music off the CD.
