ZSNES board

In that case I'm assuming that the game already had a "scale" variable that changed the way the renderer worked.

From my rudimentary understanding of the concept, you record the values before you take an action, then after the action you record what hex has changed. For example, take a copy of the hex before and after you hit a boss and compare which values changed to identify which value is associated with it...

Lots of games had/have major problems with sounds before blargg's core, FYI. It's just that they're mostly not nearly as well known. Oh yeah, I know there were other problems. Its just that I was very very familiar with certain Squaresoft games on the original hardware so it was really obvious to m...

I don't remember how long ago this was (must have been the late 90s) or what ZSNES version but when I got into emulation transparency definitely didn't work correctly. IIRC I first encountered the Zboards when trying to figure out how to see anything while playing Chrono Trigger (in the section with...

And there was much rejoicing

I think people just can't handle the purple

Very impressive.

I had given up hope of seeing those games running in BSNES.

You touched my thread inappropriately...

and I liked it.

Oh yeah, its long been my favorite Final Fantasy. Played the original fan translation years ago, ended up picking up the Playstation version and now I'm wondering if I should be a corporate whore and buy the GBA version as well. I heard they retranslated it which could either be a plus or a huge min...

Is the VBA-M website broken at the moment?

http://vba-m.ngemu.com/vbam/vbacompiles is a broken link, the forum is a wreck and http://vba-m.com doesn't seem to exist.

While we're (sort of) on the subject. If I was going to play Final Fantasy V again, should I stick with the SNES version or try to hunt down a copy of the Game Boy Advanced version?

All I know is that the advanced version had two new classes or something, and a bonus dungeon. Worth it?

Darn, oh well.

I guess fighting badly translated enemies such as "Badbad" is part of the nostalgia as well.

Aqutallion or Brandish?

http://i43.tinypic.com/2wm3ywh.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/349flhk.png This game is a nostalgia bomb for me, and I was thinking of playing it again since it had some interesting gameplay elements. The one thing I remember about it though... is that the American localization was truly horrendous. I m...

Probably closer to ten characters at most. I guess I could have figured that out on my own. All of my previous projects have just been simple take input, create output console applications. Dealing with loading resources into memory kinda intimidates me.

I can't access the EVE database directly, but the devs provide an exported copy every time they make a major revision to the game. I've uploaded individual tables to use in web applications before, but I'm not quite sure how I would interface with the database files using a C++/C# program. One reaso...

I guess that answers my question then. Two separate lists.

I should probably learn how to generate hash tables regardless, looks useful.

Hmm, I might as well explain my full problem. I'm playing with a database export from the MMO Eve Online. I'm writing a tool in C++/C# that connects to their API service to get information about my property in the game. The API returns all values as itemIDs which I can find in the database export. T...

No collisions, I'll go look up hashing.

Much appreciated.

I have a completely random question regarding the implementation of a data structure. I have a list of 5000 names linked to IDs. Because the IDs are sequential I realized that I can use the IDs as an index for an array. As an example "Random_Name" has an ID of 3243 so writing myArray[3243]...

If it works with Windows (I imagine it does) it works with ZSNES.

It might not work as expected, but it will work.

Umm, as far as I know it accepts relative paths, like you mention. At least, older versions did. If you have say "C:\Emulation\ZSNES\" and "C:\Emulation\Roms\" you should be able to point the path variable to "..\Roms\" *edit* used the wrong form of "accepts."...

Hey, I have a question. What is "dynamic recompilation"? It means that instead of following a literal code execution path, it takes short cuts. A current gen CPU can do things that an SNES or N64 chip can't, yes? So if you run across a line of code that does something like: empty accumula...

Isn't there a black rabite that you can fight that's fairly tough? Or would you consider that a boss?
