War 2410

Post by Murdock »

For the game "War 2410" after a few opening animations you are left at a black screen.

I don't have SNES 9x available to test it or any previous versions of ZSNES, but since I don't have a title screen shot of it I doubt it has worked recently. (I started my titleshot collection in the summer.)

And just so you know I was using the 02/07 WIP.

Can fix it with a bad hack. If thats what people want I will do it.

To me, as long as the hack actually fixes a bug, I'd say deploy it with all your might.
If it's something as dumb (no offence) as getting Top Gear 3000 to run up until you go after the car customazation screen, the hack which let's the Assumed SuperFX Metal Combat ROM to work in ZSnes, and/or the one which lets interleaved Yoshi's Island ROMs run, leave it out, hold it back.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

I can only speak for my self, and I have never actually played the game so I wouldn't do it just for me especially, but if other people want it and it's an easy fix I'd say sure. If this was a known bug I apolagize. I mainly posted just so people were aware of it.

Personally I feel quick-fix hacks should be avoided, since they end up giving off the impression that the emulation core is more accurate than it actually is.

Just my opinion.

I would appreciate more small hacks for games that currently are very hard to fix. This has many positive sites:

- No one is spamming the board that the game doesn't work and the developers can take their time to fix it without hacking

- No other games get broken through the hack

- A hack is faster in most cases (less CPU usage) than the actual fix (more accuracy)

Have you tried the game in UOSNES? A snes emulator that supposely use loads of hacks.

If it work in 9x or UO, I don't see any reason to implement a quick hack in zsnes too...That being said, at this point I wouldn't care if pagefault implement a hack.

I respect pagefault's work in zsnes, but like I allready said, I feel Zsnes's fondations are extremely shaky. I don't see how "This is how emulation is" to quote PF. I see this is how zsnes is. Anyway, I'm not trying to start another argument.

Both 9x and UO (UO is just a bunch of hacks and actually hardly emulates anything giving off the false appearance it's actually accurate, see source code) both of them use hacks to get this game working. This is why it hasn't been put in ZSNES yet. So thats why I don't know if it should go in or not.

Hrm... i removed the hack from my branch of snes9x, and it still seems to work. Nifty.
