Super FX - CVS

Post by **Nach** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 12:37 am

Finally got ahold of every dumped Super FX ROM so we can do exstensive tests.

And of course...

...jma? Never heard of THAT...

Is that the great ROM compression format you were talking about on the old board?

But of course.

Hmmm... I presume it's not publically available? (You rat bastard.)

What does JMA stand for?

I prefer if you guess

I like Siloh's interpretation myself. Can't get it out of my mind actually...

Siloh's interpretation has nothing to do with compressed files (archives).

Well actually it does in a funny way.

If j00r momma's ass is big enough, it'll compress roms like nothing else...

...It would be mildly amusing is that is what jma stood for.

Does that file contain all variants of Starfox? I wonder if there are programming similarities between Starfox and other SFX games that would make them compress well together...?

Of course. I said all dumped SFX ROMs.

There's one level in Yoshi's Island that has rotating wooden platforms in it (in one of the dungeons I think). In the previous wips, the graphics for them are messed up. So when I have a chance, I'll try to find that level and see if they're fixed now.

There are some in Marching Milde's Fort. I checked and they were ok here.

OK, I found what I was talking about. I don't think this is how it's supposed to be:

I'm using the 10/24 WIP, for win32.

Do you have a save state? They look correct in the screenshot.

OK, I'll admit that I haven't tried this on the real SNES, but they look like they are messed up. I do have a savestate, but I don't have anywhere to upload it to.

What stage is it? I'll check it out myself.

I don't see anything wrong with those. And I own the cart.

World 2-4, in the room right before the boss.

It's supposed to look like this:

So it is wrong.

I own the cart as well. Your picture is of a big rolling log type thing. IceFox's is of these spinning platform things. Two different items.

Went to check stage 2-4. Except for the vertically-moving grey platforms (already posted) I don't see any graphical bug...

Whoops, you are right, I had to play up to that point to verify. It should like this:

...and it rotates around the centre point.
