I had a strange fascination with this game on emulators. This is pretty god damned sweet.

It was hardly imaginable to have thought a Legend of Xanadu translation could've been possible ten years ago. The dream has come true!

I was never dead. I've devoted the past two years on my pecs.

This may or may not have an impact on my animation skills.

I love how Keranu can go MIA for a year or two, but still has 9000 posts.

Literally lol'd at this

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Jungle Bros: lord_cack's pet project! :)]

Signed the contract. I'm back on board on this bitch

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Shada translation: beta testers wanted]

Didn't tomaitheous start a translation for this game waaaay back?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Keranu's Super MEGAMIX Sale! Nintendo, Sega, SNK and more!]

List updated!

I also have the following barely used computer parts in available if anyone's interested before I put them on eBay: Radeon HD5450 video card, Xblaster Mid-Tower case, and a LG M-Disc DVD drive. Just send me a PM.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Keranu's Super MEGAMIX Sale! Nintendo, Sega, SNK and more!]

Neo Geo MVS and various Nintendo games sold!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Spriggan Mark 2 - Translation Discussion Thread]

A dream of mine is to see all of those announced import games that never made it here to be fan translated and pressed onto real CDs, complete with authentic back-in-the-day style packaging. We're making great progress thus far as a community -- that's real fan devotion!

It's a freaking RIGG-Necstasy reunion!

Holy shit, now that's a username I haven't seen since forever!

[Off-Topic / Re: Ys: The Art Book]

Anyone got any pics of some of the older Ys artwork for the original PC88/MSX games? Very tempted to buy this book!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Keranu's Super MEGAMIX Sale! Nintendo, Sega, SNK and more!]

Update! And a real update, no April Fooling here...

In retrospect, Storino left a funny comment on this vid A Casual Look At.. Mysterious Song (PC Engine Super CD-ROM/Turbo DUO)

Grab tmod2 (make sure it has the PCE plugins) and dosbox. Open the ISO in tmod2 and have a go at pixel editing the graphics. Editing the palettes is a little trickier, though there's a way to visually identify them (using tmod2).

OK took a look at CF2's ISO last night in TMOD. Thankfully the graphics are uncompressed and I'm able to make everything out. How do you go about with the palettes? I can't seem to select from more than the first two colors of the default palette either. Have a feeling this part of the process is going to require some coding, especially if I import CF4 tilesets that use different palettes...

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Curiosity check: Cosmic Fantasy 2 hack?]

Thanks tom! Got tmod2 and dosbox set up and playing around with it. If only I could make out all the garble! Do any PCE emulators have built in tile/sprite viewers?

Would programming be required for things like adding more tiles and dealing with tile overlap issues?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Newly made development hucard released]

Bought a bunch of those cards for a gameproject I am working on right now. Great to have some cards for not having to release on cd only

What kind of game?

Ya, what is he holding back from us!?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Curiosity check: Cosmic Fantasy 2 hack?]

Some interesting info in this thread already, but can anyone talk more about the graphic hacking process and how much work that would require? Even if it was as simple as straight up swapping tiles that already fit in place or repixelling existing ones.

Bump?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Legend of Xanadu II Translation Patch announced!]

Please?

Is there anybody out there? *Creepy Synthesizer Effect*

This?


PS, any further updates?

Just so everyone knows, this is not something I'm (or anyone else AFAIK) is planning, but merely a curiosity. I really don't like the ideas of remakes in general because it tends to take away aspects that made certain games classics to begin with. However I always thought CF2 would be a good candidate for a remake because it had a lot of great ideas but had some setbacks restricting it from being a real masterpiece.

If it's not a overly ambitious project, I'd love to see it come to fruition. Otherwise, best focusing efforts on new original ideas.

You could do ACD as well. I don't think SCD will be enough to eliminate load times. ACD would be though.

From what I remember Nodtveidt telling me years ago, the reason why simple tasks like checking character status or looking at items took so long to load had something to do with the game running data/images off the CD itself or something instead of RAM.... yeah I'm probably way off on the tech stuff there, but regardless it was due to RAM limits that could've been resolved in SCD format. Wanna chime more in on this, Nod? lol

EDIT: OH and props to whoever mentioned adding more music to this hack. CF2 had some pretty decent music but definitely lacked a variety of tracks to play through! Probably due to all the voice acting.... maybe shortening some songs could squeeze enough room for a short song or two.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Curiosity check: Cosmic Fantasy 2 hack?]

Was just wondering the other day how feasible and difficult it would be to hack Cosmic Fantasy 2 to have updated graphics and more balanced encounter rates, magic and hit damage, etc..? I would think the stat stuff would be simple enough to tweak, but how bout the graphic stuff? I was thinking since CF2's tileset variety is so limited, you could probably rip CF4's graphics and find place for them easily in CF2. Could CF2 even be upgraded to Super System Card format for additional RAM and faster load times?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Reprint?]

I like Nightwolve's patch idea best.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Keranu's Super MEGAMIX Sale! Nintendo, Sega, SNK and more!]

Xbox and Neo Geo prices lowered.

[Off-Topic / Re: Sini passed away]

Wow, that's horrible news. It's been awhile since I've even talked to Sinistron on here, and to be honest I never liked him much but he was a fellow PCEFX vet and hearing about his passing makes your heart fall into your stomach.

Thanks to Mike for keeping us updated and rest in peace, James.

If you don't have the internet, just buy a PC Engine already. If not applicable, buy a gun and carefully place the barrel in your mouth.

Saw this article on the front page of Yahoo. Amazingly, the author actually mentions the TG16 and PCE, even moreso that I don't think I've heard heard about these secret messages in Chase HQ and Chuka Taisen! Anyone try this?

Hah, that'd be rad! You could make paper HuCard cuts out, use it conventions or something. <shrug> The possibilities are endless?

Update! Sold stuff removed, new stuff added, including.... coupon dispensers!?

More to come soon.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Meteor Blaster DX Reprint]

Also, very important, try to call them whenever possible! They're still pretty dumb on the phone, but at least you won't have to wait a week or longer for a response. I have no idea what this fee they're trying to pull on you is, it was never brought up to us during MSR, and we're getting the same old Eclipse shit too. As long as your time gaps and whatever else is accurate, there should not be a problem.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Keranu's Super MEGAMIX Sale! Atari, Nintendo, Sega and more!]

game.com sold, prices lowered, PSOne + LCD screen added!

Realization is really good (really like tha animation and the graphics of ennemies).

Thanks! lol

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Best 2-player games?]

The kick ball mini game in Chew Man Fu has to be one of the most stupid/fun two player games for the turbo.  Sure... it may lack depth, but it's the type of game that anyone could pick up and get competitive with right away.  my friends and I start cursing each other out within 2 rounds.

I have a serious addiction to the kickball song.

[Off-Topic / Re: Midwest Gaming Classic 2013]

Had a blast and met a lot of new PCEFXers finally! Chany, DragonmasterDan, Mathius, chop5, BlueBMW: nice to meet all of yous! And of course the rest of ya, good to see you again! Your all some cool, humble folks.

Now I gotta figure out how to get this chopsado to work!
