This is certainly worth trying out. I played through this in it's entirety. It does fix up the dialog.

Re: Secret of Mana

And of course, it's riddled with bugs and has a sound playback engine that's very prone to dropping music channels during action sequences. Which makes a lot of sense if it was hacked down massively at the last minute and the sound engine was designed on the assumption of redbook audio. Many of the...

I just beat that grow game. I'm proud as that's the first one I've been able to beat by myself without cheating out of sheer frustration. I don't think I agree with the order of the engineering uses, so that threw me off for awhile. I had to throw logic out the window there and just go by the cause ...

So, we'd have to have some way to foot the bill. A dedicated server would probably be a must if it took off. Finally having a real general emulation site, Zophar's Domain replacement would be nice. I don't think any emulation sites since have covered all the material Zophar's did. From savestate ar...

Hell Yes! Improved traction in rain and snow is worth the price alone. With the modern gear based LSDs available today, you won't loose traction unless both of your drive wheels are spinning.

Another vote for ZSNESW under NT. I think it's a good time to finally put ZSNES DOS to bed. Perhaps make a final send off release if possible. Also, keep a DOS version available as download on the site. That way anyone who needs to use DOS can still easily find a version of ZSNES to use. That should...

Who are you to define what 'garbage' data is? It's a terrible idea to get rid of any information from a ROM dump. Fill bytes or patterns can most certainly be used in the ROM for whatever reason. Specific case examples don't even matter. Bottom line is any data from the ROM that can be seen by the S...

I'd be interested the methods being used here. The Hqxx algorithms shouldn't be limited to anything inherent to SDL/OpenGL. I'd speculate the performance problem could be fixed with a change in implementation.
