>>12018384
lmao

>>12018351
You need to get familiar with x86 assembly first. Then my main tools for reverse-engineering are IDA 5, NekoProject 2 with debugger, and an hex editor.
For PC-98 hardware (BIOS, I/O ports, graphics...) I use Japanese websites like https://radioc.web.fc2.com or http://software.aufheben.info/contents.html?contents_key=oohpc_menu

I've noticed that No-Intro has recently added a bunch of homebrews from SMS Power to their Master System catalogue and I want to shout out Pac-Man Master Museum. It's a compilation of games including Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus and the hypothetical Ms. Pac-Man Plus, featuring arcade-accurate ghost behavior, difficulty settings and optional fast speed mode. A very enjoyable way to play the games on a horizontal screen.

Any recent decent SMW hacks? No kaizo shit. I like if they stick to a theme like Peach's Adventure

>>12018518
>a theme like Peach's Adventure
mentally ill zoomer fat-fetishist in denial is not a "theme"

>>12018518
Standard hack with standard difficulty you won't get filtered by? The My Melody hacks aren't bad.

>>12018680
thanks mate i'll try it out

>>12018268 (OP)
So I've recently jumped into a 2 disc Japanese game that thankfully found fan translation for and i only had 1 patch file. I figured I just reuse the same patch on disc 2, correct?

>>12018452
Kino.

>>12018462
I saw it too on SMS Power some days ago.
LackOfTrack, the homebrew's author, also confirmed that Jr. Pac-Man will be added to the game in a future update.

>>12019349
Great news. I love the 2008 homebrew port of Jr. Pac-Man for Atari 7800, would be great to see the game on a more powerful console.

Out of curiosity, if I were to make sprites for /vr/, what other OCs would (you) like to see?

>>12019817
Nice sprite

>>12019817

>>12019817
If it will happen you could contribute some sprites for that SMB3 /v/ collab that might happen at the end of the year if the organizer lets you import custom graphics.

>>12022217
Thats gonna be a huge problem as there's not a single fucking SMB3 graphic editor that SMB1 had.

MSDOS rather than console but we did a li'l thing over at /ovg/. Whiplash/Fatal Racing is now fully decompiled and running natively in modern OSes. https://github.com/FatalDecomp/ROLLER

Also got a track editor https://github.com/FatalDecomp/TrackEditor

Wondering if anyone's ever replaced the .xa files in the oddly musicless US version of Robo-Pit 2 with the Japanese version? Apparently they're just dummy files in the US version, and it's like they cheaped out on music licensing weirdly, not that a license to publish a game shouldn't come with music. Seems like an easy romhack that should've been done, people dig customising robots.

>>12022306
I believe that organizer was working on one within the editor itself, although I can't confirm it since I only saw it once but it did get posted either in here on /v/ a few months ago.

>>12022664
Faster!

>>12022735
Did this myself, only just swapping the SND directory with the Jap version and remaking the iso does nothing, you just get 'insert a Playstation disc'. Likely some subchannel data that identifies it as one in a data track it now lacks. There's YT videos of the US version with music and the uploader's all 'i added it ;)'. Fuckos.

A homebrew port of SFC Clock Tower to the Game Boy Advance came out recently

We just got one bombdrop of a project and this flacid thread goes near dead, all those weirdo schizoifs posting about "meme dream game" and that fake Game Maker mockups of SOTN on SNES, it's ruining this threads.

>fake Game Maker mockups of SOTN on SNES
That one legitimately real.

Are you nuts?

>>12026054
>Omega Mode
Hard Mode would've been more interesting.

>>12027339
You didn't disprove him.

>>12027469
It was called v1.0 and EVERYBODY Hated it except TAS cheaters.

>>12027607
You're right. Hard Mode on v1.0 would be pretty interesting.

>>12018351
Do you have specific games in mind?

>>12027605
No, he seethed at snes success

Super Mario Kart Deluxe (SMKDX) is never coming out right?

They're just going to keep adding supposed features until they die and never release it.
They've been teasing it for like 4 years now.

25 days ago on bluesky:
"NO STOP SAYING ITS DEAD WE'RE TOTES RELEASING IT ONE DAY BROS"


TLDR:
I want some mario kart
where mario kart
frick you, FRICK YOU

I KNEW IT, THEY'RE FUCKING ME IN THE ASS TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE MOST HOMEBREWED GAME IN EXISTENCE, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>12028343
Blue sky…. lol if that shit ever comes out it won’t be good.

>>12028343
Why don't they have nightly dev builds available? Then people could enjoy in its current likely semi-broken state and potentially even find bugs they didn't know about.

>>12029828
NTA, but they want to lure you into their top sekrit Discord club.

>>12029828

leak it here ?

Any cool Mega Drive/Mega CD hacks and brews come out lately?
I've been out of the loop since 2015, or whenever Overdrive II was released, and I wanna fill my flash cart up.
Been checking out the last few years SHC entries, and while there's still some cool stuff there, they seem to have shifted toward Sonic Adventure and PC hacks nowadays.

>>12031331
I dunno but Im seriously about to look into trying to automate translating shadowrun: sega cd with A.I. I want to play it before I die.

Nobody will ever actually do it. the same fag has claimed he will start working on it for like the last 10+ years

most are usually mode 1 that just use the cd for music like Fantasia and Outrun.
There is Crazy Sonic CD but its mostly a joke hack but it does show they know how to use the asic.

some basic demos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYYeGy47UJE

There is a road rash hack that uses the Sega CD CPU the make the framerate a bit better. Its called ROAD_RASH_3_Improvement_v1.04_Special. It did technically work for me using a flash cart.

>>12031345
Some people get offended because of some pretty bad translations out there, I think it would be ok to use is as a sort of place holder. I think people using mobile apps to translate know what they are not getting the best translation. Just have a warning on the title screen if you do one.

This site listing 6502 ASM op codes is down

thankfully it's on waybackmachine so I just saved a copy of the website on my hardware

just a heads up in case someone want to do the same

>>12035119
Play it on Mesen and set the controller to SNES Rumble.

>>12033370
>Crazy Sonic CD
Burned that to a disc and the music all became max volume static for some reason, so I just played that on an emulator instead. Will check those demos out quick, might burn Road Rash 3 to a disc, love that game.
>>12031345
Is it hard to edit the text in Shadowrun or is it just a lack of translators?

>>12036006
the group have all the tools to extract and insert text supposedly for the last 10 years..

translators should not be a hold up in this age.
machine translation > no translation at all.


The goal should be:
1. make the game playable in english (using machine translation)
2. rewrite it after to be translated more accurately.

>>12029054
oh shit this is actually decent

What is the reason the Final Fight Genny port is kept getting paywalled, looks pretty fucking finished to me:

Where's the website that lets me convert image files into SNES backgrounds?

>>12018268 (OP)
Apparently, SMW Central just got one of its pages DMCA'd (according to a user from RHDN) and now the whole website is down.

>>12040327
This is confirmation from the site owner that is indeed what is going on and that it should be temporary

>>12040381
Thanks for telling us

>>12040327
>>12040381
hopefully it stays down forever. populatization of kaizoshittery thanks to smwcentral was a disaster for the entire gaming industry

What the fuck is up with this /pol/ shit on SMWC? I'm a Sonicfag who's primarily used to SHC, so this seems alien to me.

anyone here who knows DS shit that can find out why the touchscreen in this isn't working? https://files.catbox.moe/pz6r8q.zip
