I don't see a link to ROMs in my post either.

And we're on a site that represents the grey area anyways with ROM hacking and emulation.

So long as you're not directly linking to something that can get you into major legal trouble directly, you'll probably be fine. Or at least that's been the long-standing argument on forums like these for quite some time but I'll leave it up to the people in charge to say otherwise and ping them about it since you're worried.

EDIT: Talked to NinCollin, edited for compliance. Though that also means you'll need to modify your own post Yuri, ironically.

...so much as Mihara got real mad when he found them...

And now, twenty years later, they're doing their best to publicize TGM4 after stopping production of the old version of it with the thinly veiled threat of never completing the game if we continued to do what we were.

Nah, Heboris and the like weren't going anywhere. Meanwhile, the games themselves have gotten way better with or without ARIKA's help.

Fair. In any case, it's been edited.



Still doesn't change the fact that people should play Fightcade, that said.

I am actually lucky enough to be near a retrocade that had a MAME cab. It was the very first time I would see a TGM1 cab, not quite in the flesh. Trying to find a cab legitimately is a fool's errand in the States, no matter what of the trilogy you're attempting to play. This same arcade had a Tengen Tetris cab, legit, and not this (and some other rare finds).

So no, I didn't ever expect to find a port of 1 and 2 on the Switch in the last year costing us single digits just to own. Obviously they've changed their tune which likely means that they want money again where they aren't making any. A lot of companies in Japan are changing their attitudes about the Western audiences in a lot of respect as of late...rollback netcode is another example of such a thing when they were originally staunchly opposed to anything like that.

Granted, Japan is quite xenophobic and quite egotistical so any progress in that vein is a stellar accomplishment indeed.

Rare.

EDIT:



Super Turbo set.



3P Vs. set for RC with Open Riichi enabled.

And...gottem.

You know what might draw in more people? Posting new rom hacks.

I can only imagine such a database would take time. The question's going to be whether or not NinCollin is up for it or if outside help is necessary. Don't think it's gonna be one that I'd want to fly solo, honestly.

SHC 2024 will be dropping the results of their judgement of hacks this weekend. I played several last weekend. I'm also terrible at Sonic so it's about what you'd expect out of a play but I was requested to do so with commentary over Discord.

This one's been on-going for quite some time but had a fairly complete build made not too long ago. It still has a broken ending but it is getting there. It's definitely better than how it started this year. Unknown if this ever gets finished but it's certainly farther along than I ever expected.

There is no current public download but you can find more information on the r/PandeDePon Discord.

Probably one of the most esoteric games you can get into if your primary or sole language is English. You won't see too many people taking you up for a game, at least, unless they really are into it. There is no inbetween.

I'm a few months in and I get everything about why they say that it's a "terrible" and "great" game at the same time. You will lose a lot. When you don't, it's great. The cycle is vicious.

The biggest hurdle, by a longshot, is actually learning how to play. Quite a lot of people will go cross-eyed attempting to get even that far, let along dealing with the fact that losses happen frequently. If you get past that, though, you've got a very broad and open game that will be available to you and perhaps for a very long time, no different than Chess or an equivalent mind game, once learned.

If you're interested in either, both of the above videos are clients that are free-to-play and can be found on Steam or on mobile. The first is Riichi City and the second is Mahjong Soul. I'm partial to the former but am good for just about anything and am aware there's more than a few other clients out there that pretty much accomplish the same thing.

I guess I really shouldn't be surprised that the first thing I see when I go online is a fucking SSJ4 Gogeta.

It probably won't be too much longer before this SNES port of Kid Icarus gets released.

Probably one of the longest matches I'll ever have in 3P. Went all the way to West 1 (read: very long). About a half hour in length. Even a Yakuman from myself wasn't enough to keep them at bay totally. Should've been evaporated several times during the match.

Literally Zeppelin.

...EDIT: Oops, posted the wrong version of the soundtrack >_>

Don't you just hate when you have to figure out which version of seven in any given game to pick? It's not like modern day where they're all the same.



Speaking of modern, this. Even if you're not a fan of RPGs, in general, Octopath is so fucking good for its OST.

Fire Emblem Heroes is the only one I have bothered keeping up with...

---

I forgot I actually attempted that one. Left after a few days.

As for Lost Word, a lot of things Touhou doujin, in this day and age, don't really strike me as worth my time. It's not like it used to be for the fandom, at least in the gacha side of things.

And in that same concept there are games that break my words on such a thing. Every so often I see a glimpse of something good in modern times for that franchise. I'm sure ZUN's getting pretty tired heading into Touhou 20...

Cosmoteer. Mostly doing 2P with a friend, off and on. I don't have anything to show for it just yet but it's also in Early Access and we've been kinda learning the gist of the game too. It's an alright space game if you're into such things. I'd go into more specific genres than just 'space' but it does a lot for what it is. It kinda reminds me of a 2D, stripped down version of Elite Dangerous, honestly.

I'm actually a total lurk for RHDN since most of my time was spent on one of its predecessors, Acmlm's Board. Vizzed, which still exists was inspired from the board's existence and many others still use the concept of the board even to this day, including the board you're on right now.

To see if I could do it and the answer, so far, has always been 'no, kinda'.

I've always been interested...nah, fascinated would be the better term. Fascinated. Always been fascinated of the concept of ROM Hacking in general ever since finding out that you could, in fact, emulate Contra on a 100Mhz PC using Nesticle back in 1998. Finding that ROM hacking was a thing for anything between stupid graphic editing of Mario with toilet humor to one of the first ROM translations in existence from fans (Final Fantasy V) set a whole lot of things in motion for me as someone in high school, at the time.

I later tracked down communities (Zophar's Domain, ZSNES and SNES9X forums, Acmlm's ROM Hack Domain, just to name a few) to see just how such things went and what I found, quite frankly, were people that knew a hell of a lot more than I did about anything. Considering I grew up in a small town community for a large portion of my life leading up until then, this was a dream for me, especially being able to share in such niche interests with a plethora of information at my disposal. It really was the highlight for me around the birth of Web 2.0 and I never really quit the interests since.

Though I've never taken the time to really ROM hack fully, myself, I have at least done my community dillegence. Feedback, moderating and administrating and just doing some hobbyist things such as music creation or level design. Neither of latter I find especially qualifying as things like Mario Paint and Mario Maker exist at the basic level, but I have spent a large amount of time with editors for a random variety of things. I just never had the capacity for coding things at a more base level and never was granted the competency to go a little bit more beyond that.

Instead, I ended up going the hardware route with computer technology in general rather than the software route. I can probably whip together some of the best rigs that money can buy with my bare hands but if you ever wanted me to code a Mario hack from scratch with assembly I would probably curl up into a ball on the floor and cry.

I will call a victory for being able to hold a conversation with those skilled enough to do such a thing, however. I have met some impressively intelligent people in my time over the last quarter century pursuing that interest, however niche it might be. Really goes to show that you can find people in just about every interest out there if you try, especially with the Internet being as open as it is anymore.

You know, with this, it's 100 posts for just myself. I think I need a title for this.

I'll come up with one. I'm sure it'll be good.
