Basically I need someone to get a single piece of music playing through the MSU-1 and show me how they did it (what tools they used and how they used them). I know the gist is "figure out how the game is playing music and intercept the call to point to an if/else based on if an MSU-1 is present or not, stored in an empty section of the game ROM", I'm just...not very good at SNES Assembly.

Unfortunately I'm super busy with work this month so my time is limited but here's a basic overview - http://www.ff6hacking.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=493 If you setup a disassembler you can set breakpoints to where these songs are loaded and then you can step backwards or forwards to find the actual sound routine when the song is played to destroy.

You would be hard pressed to find someone who feels that way about the Zelda CDi games. Also, Nintendo has an image to protect. A rerelease is less likely than Disney rereleasing Songs of the South. They re-released the Zelda TV series already. That was far more terrible than the Zelda CDI games.

I've been going to garage sales for the past month and a half, every weekend, and have yet to find a single game-related thing. Apparently, I've just got really bad luck.

After years of searching for one at a decent price, a Game Boy Player is finally a part of my little retro gaming family! When I first got my Gamecube there was a deal at Gamestop to get one for free, OR two games of your choice. I picked the games of course. You had your choice of one game from each of the two tiers, one full of GREAT games and the other not so great. So I got Wind Waker and Bloodrayne. But now my Gamecube is finally an actual cube. I hooked up the Player last night and went through some of my favorite GBA and Game Boy games like Drill Dozer and Link's Awakening. I also discovered a game I've had for a couple years and haven't played despite it being from one of my favorite series. Demi Kids is MegaTen + Pokemon. I love both of those things so how bad can it be? Man oh man it can be bad. It's like the worst of the Poke-ripoff cash grabs. It's sub-season 10 Yu Gi Oh. It's like someone never even played Pokemon but thought, "Hey these Medabots are popular, lets make a shittier version of THAT." It's actually pretty hilarious for the first 20 minutes or so. It's so poorly written and horrible looking. Then the terrible, terrible battle system starts and it's not even fun in a bad way anymore. I kinda wanna do a Lets Play of it. But really, it's terrible. Probably the worst MegaTen game.

I've been putting off playing through the game because I really don't care for the original translation, and the FF6 gba version is flawed even with the graphics/music patch.

I got most of the translation portion of FF6 to a "good enough" stage, I think I have to import the in-battle dialogue (like the "don't attack Whelk's shell" bit). It definitely won't be done since there's bound to be some spacing issues and some slight inconsistencies but I'll release it then, the horde can play and then yell at me for all the poo poo I did wrong and then I can fix them without the  of personally 100% playing through the game again, especially since I have other similar projects I'm trying to figure out.

RZA Encryption posted:holy crap thank you. I once drove hundreds of miles out of my way to play one with the moving vehicle. You're welcome. Also, there's a way to play Mario Kart Arcade GP, but it requires a bit of hackery and I don't know if I am allowed to post about it here (though is you search for the instructions if you are so inclined, there's guides out there). Basically those games were based off of GC-hardware, and we all know GC-hardware is inside the Wii. People got Mario Kart Arcade GP to run on the Wii. Interestingly enough, the GC wasn't powerful enough because of the hacks that were required for it to work. Good thing the Gamecube version of F-Zero had the arcade mode discovered, because hackers for whatever reason couldn't get F-Zero arcade to work on the Wii.

Yeah I donated to the kickstarter so I will be getting a physical set (along with the bonus of FF7 by OCRemix from years back). I believe that's the only way to get it, though.

A video game collector might spend a couple hundred bucks on some rare game or whatever, but not on a repro. This price is almost acceptable for something like Pier Solar - even if it were the initial price - simply because it would be a product that was produced by the seller from top to bottom. As you said, this is merely a repro in a fancy case, so there's no development time or creative output you're paying RCG for. That said, everything from RCG is grossly overpriced so I'm not sure anyone should be that surprised.

So, I'm looking at getting UGC's for my N64 games just so I can have titles on spines. Has anyone here made some using the ones on the Cover Project? Did they come out pretty nice and any tips for someone looking to do around 50 games? I do have the original cardboard boxes for most of them but they don't withstand a lot of messing with and many are showing wear on the creases where I opened them a lot when I originally got them.

RZA Encryption posted:wtf is a UGC? Yeah dude, UGCs are the poo poo. Makes your collection look really loving spiffy, especially with all the proper covers. Putting all my classic SNES games in UGCs is how my  journey began, then I had to get the rest of them...My only complaint about UGCs is they're all "plenty of room for instruction manuals" but that's almost a lie. You can squeeze them in there and it works okay, but I'd really prefer if the boxes were just a smidge bigger and they had a clip to hold the manual. As is, the manual falls out every time I go to grab the game, and you have to place it in the box just so and take care when you close the case so you don't accidentally fold your manual.  Although all of this just makes me respect Sega more in retrospect. Genesis games came in really nice cases, and whaddya know, Genesis game boxes are easy to find nowadays. SNES came in crappy cardboard that your mom would throw away, and guess what? Now they're "rare"-ish and will cost you a bit to track down; plus they're just poo poo to store games in. They do look sweet, though.

Did they come out pretty nice and any tips for someone looking to do around 50 games? I did around 80 n64 games from the cover project and they came out great. I went to Staples and chose legal sized paper. Make sure the files are all sized correctly before you print them out because staples can't change them. Paper quality honestly doesn't seem to matter much. Regular legal paper and glossy legal paper honestly looked the same once they were in the cases themselves. Printer and ink quality are what really make the difference, so pick whatever paper is cheaper. Staples will even cut them down to size for you, but make sure to say you want no white borders. Because there has been a few times where they cut the paper and leave about a half inch of paper on all sides because certain employees somehow can't line it up to the edge of the cover. Rule of thumb is if you see an old person working at the Staples counter they'll do whatever you want and they'll do it well. Younger people screw it up or refuse to do it at all because of their gross misunderstandings or willful ignorance of the copyright laws.
