Gaming Discussion / Tool for hacking ps2 game saves?

« on: May 16, 2013, 03:14:01 am »

Hell I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool I can use to hack ps2 save games. I want to play Devil summoner 1 on hardmode without having to go through the game once and boring ol easy. I tried getting a save online but sadly it had everything maxed out and thus made the game boring in a whole different way. Any ideas?

Are there any games where multiple people take control of different stations on a ship/plane out there? I really like the idea of team work and everyone working together.

Gaming Discussion / Games with just ONE problem that keeps you from enjoying it

Its that one nagging thing that keeps you from enjoying an otherwise great game

Mario 64 ds: having to press a button to run, I wish I could set it so I hate to hold the button to walk not hold it to run, would it be hard to make a par code to fix this?

Chip and Dale: Getting flowers makes a TERRIBLE noise, we need a romhack that removes or replaces this.

Gaming Discussion / Sega-Genesis-Collection-GE just emulations with filters?

« on: November 19, 2012, 10:27:38 pm »

Ok these are on sale http://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-Collection-GE-PC/dp/B004GGO1JA/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1353381952&sr=1-1&keywords=SEGA+Genesis+Classics are they just emulations with filters or are they like the metal slug psn and xbla ports that actually spiff up the games?

Gaming Discussion / Ports/collections that add new features?

« on: June 17, 2012, 07:01:07 am »

Ok let me explain what I am talking about here.
Port that doesn't add new features
Golden axe on steam which is just emulated.

Port that adds new features
Metal Slug 2 on psn adds a nice scaling filter which for the purist can be turned off, lots of tweak options and an auto overclock to remove the lag in the game. All this can be done in an emulator but its a hassle to set up and research.

Sonic CD for psn or live arcade
Basically an engine remake

I see all these ports on consoles or steam and want to know, which is worth buying even if you have an emulator/original copy? Please enlighten me.

Personal Projects / Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu fan remake[PC] translation project.

« on: February 01, 2012, 01:49:27 am »

OK this is both a translation project and a graphical upgrade for this wonderful fan remake.
Here is the game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuBjgele1Do

I guess I should explain for those who don't know
Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu is the Kunio Kun arena fighter that is a great party game, the original suffered from having only 2 Kunio Kun characters (Kunio and Riki who the fan translated rom named it for) and some slow down.
This remake fixes that and throws almost every Kunio character from bit parts to characters that shouldn't even be fighting! also its fan modable! It also has about 100 moves/passive skills and allows 8 person combat in either teams of 2 or free for all.

I spent hours combing through the Japanese fan mod files to pick and choose the upgraded graphics files that keep true to the spirit of the game while upgrading it with things like hair color (The original nes games had only black hair for everyone) and better font, I even took the sprites from a female conversion mod and made some of the female Nekketsu characters that take part in the fighting! After that I went about getting the menus translated.
After getting a screen shot translation guide made up I found out something, the cutscenes are simple .txt files and so are the character names, I then went to work on getting these translated.
What you see here is the work I have so far and sadly for now is all I will have for a while because my translators got scared off by the about 300 lines of text left to do.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8_-HFA0g1c&list=UU3bXG9gHHZ2wI1V9LR8_y9g&index=2&feature=plcp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlFQtkPySO0&list=UU3bXG9gHHZ2wI1V9LR8_y9g&index=1&feature=plcp
Note the typos and poor grammar have been fixed to the best of my ability since this video.

With this project I need help in two ways
One is a translator for the cutscene dialog, there is very little dialog compared to a commercial release but its still a good amount, good way to get your feet wet. I can localize and rewrite it so I really only need a literal translation.
Second I need a sprite artist to convert a 16 bit kunio sprite into a chibi 8 bit one. I could do this myself but I am damn burnt out and still have 8 more hair sets to make the "Been hit" sprites for and I really don't feel like making another from scratch.

And this isn't too important but I could use someone to figure out how the scripting engine works so I can change the delay between each line of dialog. for example I have one line on the screen for 5 to 10 seconds but another zips by in 3.
Am I allowed to post my beta build? Its not a patch but then again its a fan game. anyway contact me if you want to help and know that sooner or later I will find a translator so those who can't help but really want this to get finished fret not!

Script Help and Language Discussion / Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu remake cutscene text

Gaming Discussion / Kunio-Kun/River City Ransom fan games/miracle kidz ips patches for old rcr games

« on: October 10, 2011, 06:49:03 am »

Ok I've got a treat. I bought the River City ransom all stars dodge ball game for pc from miracle kidz and it came with an omake disc with a bunch of great stuff. It is mostly for the dodge ball game but some things would be interesting for anyone.
http://www.mediafire.com/?a0orz4l5bzqaycg

First of all, there's all kinds of omake teams for the dodge ball game, I would love to get these teams translated sometime (The rest of the stuff for the dodge ball game is in engrish if you update it, online omake download included) only interesting if you've got the game (I would release it here but I think its against the rules, are doujin game downloads allowed? They are technically official games now because million and mkidz joined together and released it for wii) note the teams are in .DBCH files which even if you rename them in windows don't show up english in game.

Second there are three ips patches, The big reason why I posted this thread.
one for downtown nekketsu (I babel fished the readme and it says its a beta patch) samurai special (Same) and downtown nekketsu ex debug (I read elsewhere that it is a parody ban patch)

Third arranged mixes of the dodge ball and RCR music (It was said its the original compositions before making it chip tunes but not sure where I read that so take it with a grain of salt).

I thought I would share these because they are part of history, if you are interested in translating the teams on the disc and unengrishing the other teams just pm me and I will send the dodge ball disc. The game came out in 2k7 only in japan through amazon and a few other sites.

Second: I found 2 games from the Japanese Kunio community that are very interesting.

First: is a remake of the samurai special nes game that is quite good http://www.mediafire.com/?95von9hsqxufsjv
From what I've read all the text in the game seems to be in .txt files (I saw a kid on youtube insert his own story line and that's what he said) so it wouldn't be hard to translate AFAIK but again I haven't poked around in the files. It is also insanely moddable because someone made it into a river city ransom ex fan game which I've also include.
To set it up extract Jidaigeki0977 then put the bgm files in their respective folders. May have issues on win7
To install the ex mod do the above then copy the ex version over the main install

Second: is a remake of Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu aka Riki an Kunio as it was known over here for a while http://www.mediafire.com/?c57ddkh55mdtnlo

This one is also insanely modable but mostly in moves/characters, sadly its text is harder to deal with. There is an english patched version here http://razor--guardian.webs.com/kakutoudensetsu.htm but it is of an older version and the people just used the Crash N the boys names.
The game also has an expansion called the battle edition http://www.geocities.jp/nekketsukouha920kun/KD_Battle_Edition.html but I am not sure if it is just a mod that makes it more insane or more fun.
There is a semi active mod community for this game http://nkdc.forum-motion.net/ but sadly it is small and mostly made up of original characters which usually only have appeal to those who make said characters. There are mods for the American T-shirt & Jeans look and such tho and I also saw a video of ex sprites but have yet to find the mods.

The original site for KD is offline but the new one is here http://www.geocities.jp/kuniokundoesu/ Reason I post the downloads up there is because not only is this site in Japanese but the download links work sporadically. I can't tell you how hard it was to track down this sucker.
http://www.geocities.jp/nekketsukouha920kun/ is a fan site of all things Kunio (Also sadly in Japanese). Its where most people in America get their stuff and he also has a youtube account to show off this stuff.

Gaming Discussion / Well made hard hacks

« on: July 25, 2010, 12:32:07 am »

What are some well made hard hacks for games? A lot of jrpgs are great in plot but most tend to forgo any strategy beyond "Cast the strongest attack spell and sometimes heal".
This topics not just for jrpgs but mostly for games that keep their plot/layout but makes it more challenging.

ROM Hacking Discussion / Hack ideas: for those without the skill but with all the ideas.

« on: March 23, 2007, 10:11:50 pm »

I'm bored and we have a translation request post so why not a hack ideas post?
My idea
A hack of moon walker to change all the little girls you save to little boys, when you save them they will scream something such as "NO! I don't want to play the naked game!" and run. The enemys will then be cops trying to protect the kids.
A more realistic moonwalker all around.
