Valkyrie's Adventure SRAM + QOL Version 3.1 Released

14 September 2022 6:58PM EST - Update by mentil

ROM Hacks News

Version 3.1 of Mentil’s improvement hack for Valkyrie’s Adventure/Valkyrie no Bouken was recently released. The game is an NES action-adventure/RPG comparable to Hydlide, released in 1986 a few months after the latter’s NES port. This hack is compatible with the original Japanese release, as well as the DvD Translations patch.

The headline feature of this hack is that it adds SRAM support to an RPG that formerly relied on passwords which only preserved the most basic of character progress. With version 3.0, the first release, a ROM expansion allowed for all character attributes to be saved. However, a pernicious bug which had eluded the author for the six months of its development yet remained.

The SRAM support (and indeed, hacks of the game itself) only worked in certain emulators like FCEUX, with others like Mesen rendering it unplayable. However, with the assistance of RayofJay and other members of the nesdev Discord channel, Mentil was not only able to get the hack running in Mesen, but also on the Everdrive! This led to the release of 3.1

In addition to SRAM support, an included alternate patch adds various quality-of-life improvements to the game. These include making legendary equipment more useful, making thieves less disruptive to gameplay, and (last but not least) removing uncommunicated requirements from the win condition at the very end of the game. Combined with the save-upon-death feature of the base hack, these make the game much more user-friendly.

Mario Kart Super Circuit HQ Music - The Final Update!

12 September 2022 11:51AM EST - Update by RunTheCoins

ROM Hacks News

This is a complete sound improvement of the samples in Mario Kart Super Circuit, this changes both the sound engine and the limitations of how the samples are played, so they can be played at a higher rate!

This rewrites the games sound engine completely, and adds longer samples in so you can enjoy the game in pristine quality audio! This was done by researching some of the Code in the prototype Ique Builds, as they have a newer sound engine that allows playback of wav files. Over the last two weeks the author was able to use the decomp and took advantage of the limitations being removed, but since the decomp isn’t complete The author had to copy the new data into the other rom the author was using, now the games audio runs well and sounds crisp! The game’s audio is also now in stereo!

The project is now complete and the author would want to thank Church of Kondo : https://www.youtube.com/c/ChurchofKondoh For giving the author the samples needed to make this mod. The author would also like to thank the people Decomping Mario Kart Super Circuit : https://github.com/jellees/mksc for making this mod possible as well. The author would lastly like to thank Cloou for good documentation on the samples used in game, : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtYfookH4LHqXGLEaevsrQg The author would of never been able to figure it all by himself if it wasn’t for these guys.

P.S. A full color restoration is now in the works, though It’s gonna be awhile before it will be finished, so just wait a little bit, The author will post updates on this new mod in the future.

PopoloCrois PS1 Translation Complete

08 September 2022 10:53AM EST - Update by Pennywise

Translations News

What initially began as a translation between MatatabiMitsu and Illidan eventually ended up in the laps of aishsha et al. As is wont the case, Matatabi’s life took a turn for the better, forcing him to give up his hobby translations and aishsha was all too eager to take over what was essentially a dream project for him.

So, after years of works and many trials and tribulations along the way, the team has finally completed PopoloCrois Story for everyone to enjoy thanks to the dedication of aishsha, paul_met’s beautiful hacking work and Pennywise to polish everything up to near perfection. The team also decided to dub the female narrator in the game, which was done by Cargodin. Also thanks to everyone else who helped this project to completion.

Anyhow, please enjoy the translation of PopoloCrois in all its wonderful glory.
