Re: Screenshots

That isn't hidden or unused, actually. I'm sure it's used during story mode, when they initially call fat Boo "Majin Boo", while in VS he's referred as Mister Boo.

I stand corrected. Never paid any attention to that before.

EDIT: Screenshot time.



The character select screen and win/lose/draw screen are done. Yay.

That looks awesome

Shouldn't the fat buu be called "Majin Buu" and the smaller buu be called "Kid Buu"

It's been a while, but here's what I recall...

There were actually two versions of the fat Buu... When he first appeared, he was Majin Buu. That is to say, he was Buu fused with a couple of beings from Kaioshin's realm, which made him appear fat at that time. (He was also pretty evil, in addition to being rather pure and childlike.)

Later, this fat and happy side was split away from his evil side, which created a purely good version that Satan named "Mister Buu," and also left his pure form "Buu" behind, unaffected by any fusions.

So I guess they call him "Mister Buu" in the game to say that he is separated from the original Buu... That would make sense, since they can actually fight each other. "Majin Buu" is actually the same thing as Buu, but with extra fusions inside of him. So having Majin Buu versus Buu wouldn't make sense since they're the same, but Buu versus Mister Buu does since they're totally separate.

(On a side note, buu is also the sound that a pig makes. Boo is cute, but it reminds me of "Boo! Did I scare you?") 

Anyone know the proper way to cite the source of this text? I'm not really sure how to go about it. I was thinking

Acala
Vidya-
Rajahs

to the right of the centered text. Is that right?

Looks right. I'd put something like "-Acala", or if there's a name for that, put that in quotes, then the "-Acala" part.

Looks nice.

Acala is another name for fudo and "vidya-rajah" Rajah is a king Vidya is "wisdom". As far as texts go its a mainly oral tradition,
with these sort of things written down in medallions for monks or students to see. Thats why its esoteric. Well somewhat!

If I were you, I would put:
- Mantra to (Fudo or Acala-Vidya Rajah) as the source.

I'se got a bit of slowdown for the outro and the intro's about half done and when I finish it'll probably have a small amount of flickering. Damn sprites. Anyone willing to do a mockup of perfectly centered text for me?

I've finally got my Advance Wars 2 - Map Header Editor to read/modify data!

Finally got round to inserting the Gameboy Wars Advance 2 COs into Advance Wars 2.   I had most of the hacking information on my computer for almost a year now. 



That Blue Moon intro picture took me a long time to display correctly.  Had to locate the Tile Layout data, and the data being compressed didn't make things easier to find.


All Intelligent System did to Sonja's palettes was swap set 1 and 4 around in Advance Wars 2.  In the original, she wears glasses. 


Olaf only got a palette change in Advance Wars 2 for set 1 & 5, since in GBWA, he had a white beard and in AW1, it got changed to brown (it's obvious why ). 


Here is Grit with his Cowboy hat.  It is quiet a large hat.

Something about putting quotes around the thing at the end looks strange.

Off topic but did anyone else misread that as "Praise To The Great Fiery Vagina" at first or was it just me?

You are not alone (c) 

Well dirty minds think alike

Seriously, this is purely psychological similar to ink blots. I could see the relevance if I removed the "ra", but this is just a case of your mind seeing what it wants to see. Perhaps you should satisfy your desires

I reiterate that I would’ve left it untranslated. About as many Japanese people can read Siddham as Westerners can read blackletter (or even 18th/19th century cursive for that matter).
