ZSNES board

Congrats, and my condolences to your sleep schedule for the coming months.

The SMW ROM hacking community has quite a bit of legacy cruft, including specific hacks but also tools that people probably still use, which depends on zsnes. And attempts to wean people off them and migrate them to doing things that actually work on a Super Nintendo just result in a lot of bitchin...

It's like Nesticle in 2016. The more things change, the more they stay the same...

I just noticed what you did there in the title. gj

Holy crap, I didn't even know there was such a thing. Very very interesting. Are they expensive? Can you update files on it while the hardware is running?

?

Ah I missed that, looks like you have to solder in the port yourself though?

Shoulda waited one more year, would've been a nice full-decade necromancy.

They are pretty expensive, but honestly to me this is one of those things I really feel like I got my money's worth out of, I haven't regretted it for a second. It was so great I actually bought a NES and N64 cart in addition to my SNES one (and they're not trivial expenses for me). For the N64 you ...

It's still giving off a little twitch reflex every once in a while, even in death.

I'm happy with my snes powerpak but I think you can't buy it anymore, and I hear sd2snes is really good, possibly even better since it has more special chip support. There's the snes everdrive but Idunno much about that one.

It's more than obvious enough for me. But some people may simply not see it, or even care. Which is of course totally OK, but it's a shame when those people end up actually doing the ports.

the game is still running at higher resolutions, even the old UI graphics will look horrible. Having the original image files there doesn't do anything for the transparency issue either. And I doubt the problem will be alleviated by turning the resolution down to 640x480 (if there even is such an op...

Yeah none of these PC ports of japanese consoles games interest me. It just doesn't feel right to run them as a Windows program. And they often just feel disjointed like FFVII-IX with their mismatched character/background resolutions. Having typed that I looked at the screenshots and it turns out I ...

What's up, zboard.

I know for a fact this game does not do 60hz, only 50. Can anyone tell me if it handles this by 1. slowdown 2. skipping frames leading to an uneven framerate, stutter (I'd prefer slowdown over this tbqh) 3. god forbid, they actually made the game timing frame-independent and it runs smoothly at 50hz...

It never did taste like actual orange.

Oh god. I've always felt there was something vaguely unpleasant about Fanta. Now I know!

*unchecks*

Haven't really tried the VC stuff myself, but I've also read about forced 480i. What is the Z+A+1 trick anyway? Load up a 240p VC title, then open the operations manual for it, and while that is open connect the nunchuk and press Z+A+1 for 240p mode, or Z+A+2 for an upscaled 480i. Or the other way ...

I'm mostly wondering about 240p VC games in Wii mode. They look awesome on the original Wii on a CRT, but I've googled for god knows how long to find out whether they'll look the same when transferred to a Wii U hooked up to a CRT, and nobody seems to agree on it. Some people say it actually does 24...

I think it's perfectly ok, they're PD for a reason.

By demos, do you mean scene demos? Because I'm fairly sure no game demos were ever released for SNES.

Anyway, Zophar has public domain roms but I'm not sure how complete their collection is: http://www.zophar.net/pdroms.html

Yeah I should've figured you did. AFAIK the WiiU simply goes into Wii mode completely whenever a Wii game is played, meaning it's for all intents and purposes a different console. Which may seem kinda silly, but then, this is the only current console with 100% perfect backward compatibility out of t...

If you're talking about the Wii remote, it'd be kinda hard to map a traditional controller to that without extensively hacking and tweaking every individual game. :p
