[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Curiosity check: Cosmic Fantasy 2 hack?]

Was just wondering the other day how feasible and difficult it would be to hack Cosmic Fantasy 2 to have updated graphics and more balanced encounter rates, magic and hit damage, etc..? I would think the stat stuff would be simple enough to tweak, but how bout the graphic stuff? I was thinking since CF2's tileset variety is so limited, you could probably rip CF4's graphics and find place for them easily in CF2. Could CF2 even be upgraded to Super System Card format for additional RAM and faster load times?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Morse code in Chase HQ?]

I'll sell them $5 a piece, or $6 for both, or best offer. They come with [expired] coupons!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / MSR Check Disc Raffle!]

At last, it's time for the Mysterious Song check disc raffle! There are 15 contestants (sorry Arkhan, I excluded you since you get to keep the Mysterious Insanity disc). A $5 - $9 donation receives one entry into the raffle, $10 - 14 receives two, $15 - 19 receives three, $20 - 24 receives four, and $25 and over receives a maximum of 5 entries.

The first drawn winner will receive this fully-working replicated "check disc" for the final, complete form of Mysterious Song.

And the follow-up winner will receive this badass hand drawn bonus artwork by CrackTiger!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Dynastic Hero: Riddle of the Sphinx! (language barrier stump)]

Been playing the Japanese version of Dynastic Hero and made it to the Sphinx's quiz game. Of course since I no speaky de Japanese, I have no way of comprehending the questions. My tactic so far has been to write down the first few characters of each question on paper for as many new questions I can find and then determine the answer by process of elimination. I have 9 questions written down, many with the correct answer indicated, but it's still hard to match up the characters and submit the answer in time for the 10 second (ish) limit.

Anyone have any tips for this part? Screenshots for all the answers even? I may have to load the game up in a emulator and take screenshots myself and post them here for future reference.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Artist needed for MSR!]

As many are aware, Mysterious Song has been on the verge of completion for a waaay overdue time now and the only thing holding us back at this point are the cut scenes. CrackTiger has completed the vast bulk of the cinematic art needed for MSR but there are still three screens needed to finish off the project for good. What we need is a sketcher that is talented enough to recreate a style consistent with CrackTiger's work so we can implement it and finally get this game out the door!

This position would require NO animation, only digitized sketches depicting outlines of two of the main characters and a portrait of random humans scattered about. Familiarity of the 9-bit color palette is not necessary, we could handle the coloring part ourselves if needed. If anyone is interested in fulfilling this much needed task, or knows anyone that can, please reply to this thread and we will contact you with further information.

Here are some samples of CrackTiger's excellent work as a reference.

[Fighting Street / Male Infant Circumcision]

After reading the abortion thread, I decided to start a thread dealing with another controversial American issue: male infant circumcision. Is anyone else on here as against it as I am? Being one of the very few (and fortunate) Americans to be uncut, it's a topic you'll get into soon enough when you're old enough to find out that something is different about you (or rather, everyone else). I've briefly got into my stance on this a couple times on here before, but I'm really interested in hearing everyone else's. I really think circumcising an infant is against that child's rights with the only exceptions being religious or absolute medical reasons -- and this is coming from someone who's religion practices this more than anyone else!

This is a topic I've been interested in for years, but don't know a whole lot about it. I recently came across this thread while doing research and found the first page to be extremely intriguing. I know there are some members here (Tatsujin! ) who has moved to Japan and I would be interested in hearing their thoughts on this. Is this really significant in Japan or are people over-exagerrating? From what I gather, Japanese people think very differently on these subjects than we do in the west and are only xenophobic/racist in an unknowing, polite kind of way.

The seller claims (in Engrish, of course) that this is a rare Turbo Grafx 16 version of the PC Engine LT, despite the PC Engine logo still being shown in one obscured photo. What could it be exactly? I don't see any kind of region switches on it. Is he plugging in a TG16/PCE console into the LT and displaying the picture on it in the photo where it's turned on?

Here's just a little demo me and tomaitheo/Bonknuts made for Turbo Fest 2008 at the Midwest Gaming Classic. It's just a hack of another pong demo on PCE with new graphics made by moi. We had more plans for it, but had to get the basic design done in time for the convention. Enjoy!

Turbo Pong

Keep in mind that this is an ISO and not a ROM, so you'll need to virtually mount it or burn it. Sorry for that inconvience, we had to use ISO at the time since it would be running off CD at the convention. I'll see if tom can compile a ROM version later.

Hello.

Any other cigar aficionados here? I know Murder Date is one since we like to send PMs about stogies we've smoked.

I smoke about one cigar per month and it's always nice to light up a nice, premium cigar outside and enjoy the scenary. I'd still consider myself an amateur aficianado, but I think I'm on my way to becomming a full one soon. I love Romeo y Julietas, but I'm always exploring different brands and types.

Last cigar I smoked was a Punch after dinner cigar, which was a very nice smoke. Had a great taste and the taste was pretty consistent throughout the whole session. Burned nicely, but I didn't get as long of an ash as I had hoped. Was only like $4.75 and well worth it.

I plan on writing a ton more, so this is only a snipet. Even if you're a die hard Capcom fan, you might still enjoy reading it for all the historical research I did just for this chapter alone - which I had a lot of fun doing because I really got to learn about a ton of old, revolutionary arcade shooters.

I like how Japan's lowest scores are higher than America's highest, but then again it's been available out there longer than here.

Oh and I managed to get 10 taps per second in the tap mode thing. I kinda cheated though because I swiped my finger left and right over the button.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Power Drift continue code in instruction manual?]

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Baku Den]

This is an extremely obscure PCE game with virtually no information at all, so I thought I'd make a thread for it. If you don't speak Japanese, it's definitely best to skip this game as it's a four hour long static cartoon with some wacky humor, but it's mostly just Japanese dialog the whole time and gets really boring. Read more about my thoughts on it here.

Anyways, much like the Addam's Family thread, the other reason I am posting this thread is to help out any masochists that decide to sit through this game get through the end level "bosses", which really just uses the process of elimination. The orders go as follows:

Level 1
First select the saber tooth tiger character, then the fish, then the beatle, and then the ostrich.

Level 2
First select the second option from the left, then the fourth, then the third, and the the first.

Level 3
First select the second option from the left, then the first, then the third, and then the fourth.

For those interested in trying it, you can pick it up for the typical cheap PCE game price, but it's not really worth it other than just seeing what it is.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / The Addams Family]

The main reason I made this thread is to help out people who are playing this game and don't want to figure out the order of entrances you have to take when you're in the underground labyrinth.

The first spot with multiple entrances is a basement like place with a brickwall and three tunnels that take you to different parts of the mansion. Don't take any tunnels and move onto the next screen to the right!

The next spot will feature five chains hanging down from the ceiling for you to pull on. Pull on the third one.

And lastly the next area that requires you to choose a path will consist of four or five doors. Take the third door.

Anyways, this game is decent!

Yeah I kinda blew it this turn (I was using an emulator ), but I'll probably try getting a higher score later. I was using the default difficulty, so please indicate if you use the trick to set it to hard mode.

A reminder to everyone competing in this game, I think the only way to see your score is on the actual ingame screen so you have to quickly snap a picture, screenshot, or write it down immediately after you die!

Important Note: Helgeson made a good suggestion in this thread that players posting scores on hard mode will need video proof from beginning to end so it's not faked as a default mode score. Scores without video proof will be noted.
