Fighting Street / WTB: A Crystal Charge
12/29/2016, 09:36 AM
My wife just dropped this off at the local firehouse on 12/24...
They were accepting plastic bins to deliver gifts to needy kids. They dumped the contents above and filled the bin with Star Wars figures.
I told her, "Take any bin *except* the green bin!"
She thought I said, "Take the *green* bin, it is a festive color. I don't want anything in the bin, anyway. It's trash. Be sure to ignore any notes declaring monetary value. I was trolling a person at pcefx with that note, anyway. Thank you for clearing out the shelf!"

Quote from: gojira1954 on 12/29/2016, 03:11 AMI have been using a Tennokoe Bank for 10-15 years and I keep thinking the battery will die...but it hasn't yet.Quote from: SignOfZeta on 12/28/2016, 07:36 PMI don't understand the question. I %100 Dracula X every Halloween. What are you planning to do, load it up and look at a number?I wanted to discuss save managing options?
Yeah looking at completion percentages could be good for you though?
I guess hudson really fucked up implementing game saves - what a waste of time!
It will.
Of course it will.
There have been various threads, over the years, about file utilities, managing backups, replacing battery on Tennokoe Bank, games that hog all the BRAM, etc. Some kind person might link to them
Let's see...we need the technical gurus to help us...
(1) At least one person posted about successfully installing a new battery in Tennokoe Bank HuCARD (but soldering + battery requires some delicacy)
-----
(A) Hardware storage solutions include MB132 and Save Kun... I think these are the only two peripherals relevant to a discussion of CD systems. (You could use NEC's Backup Booster or Hudson's Tennokoe 2 for stand-alone PCE)
(B) A handful of games (CD software) included BRAM file managers/utilities...some of these were designed with MB132/Save Kun in mind.
(C) Covell (member here) released a BRAM utility? But you might need special flash card/cables (developer tools) to use it?

Quote from: HailingTheThings on 12/24/2016, 08:14 PMDude, I will make a box for you. And it will be *truly* deluxe limited edition because I'll design it only for you.Quote from: Magister on 12/24/2016, 09:44 AMYep. That would be the one I saw. Still, the box set is pretty cool looking.If you want the repro box, just bother the guy on facebook. I'm sure he'd make one special for you if you paid him enough. Its not like there's some special ingredient that's hard to find in order to produce more. He's operating under the title "Mega Box Reproductions" or something like that? I think?
My final design may, or may not, feature faux animal skin.
Also, I despise the "chrome" bit (this isn't American Choppers)...I'll have to change that to something more fitting with the Splatterhouse series...

I don't think I have enough room (even if I ditch my lamp), so I bought a metal shelf that I can install under my desk (to hold a console). My wife doesn't want my desk to be ugly... neither do I, so... I might have to get creative.

Honest Question: Is there one, definitive thread for Henshin-Engine?
I found this one, obviously, but I thought there was another thread with more recent posts...
Anyway, ever since I played the demo for Henshin-Engine at AVGC, I've been meaning to go back and play Shubibinman (the first one)...
...well, I finally remembered to play the damn game tonight. It only took me THREE months. Ridiculous? Yes.
Playing through Shubibinman made me appreciate the demo for Henshin-Engine even more! I have never been the biggest fan of Shubibinman, but Henshin-Engine has forced me to go back and give this damn game some love!
After all these years, with countless people stating that Shubibinman was worthy of some love... well, I think I am slowly seeing the Light.

OK, since this thread has ONLY ONE PHOTO of an actual XMAS tree, I will help it along.
HOWEVER, I can't promise that more than 5% of the tree will be visible, since it is a PCE XMAS... as you can see, XMAS has invaded my tiny corner of the living room where my tiny desk is located (the *only* space that is exclusively mine in the entire house, SRSLY).

Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Lucretia - Demon Princess (鬼姫の呪い in Japan) NOW IN BETA TESTING
12/12/2016, 02:30 AM
FIRST: I love Lucretia to bits. SO MUCH ATTENTION TO DETAIL and just from the menus/attract mode I can see how things will (probably) be fleshed out further. THIS IS ALREADY A MUST-HAVE, even if it didn't progress any further.
FOR EXAMPLE: If you made the game compatible with the Virtual Cushion, you could simply use a MEGA BASS BUMP to indicate when a boss was hit, and my crotch, which straddles the Virtual Cushion, would be intimately aware of how many times I hit the bastard.
SRSLY: It is not easy to achieve that visceral feeling... especially when a game's aesthetics eschew *explosions* and the like... I love that you are doing something different (having enemies drop dead and fall)... so, I am not sure how best to convey "death"... however, I was thinking that, perhaps, death could be conveyed with a simple DEATH CONVULSION (that is, a horizontal "shuddering", where sprite jumps (left 1 pixel --> right 1 pixel) x ____ times, then sprite jumps (left 2 pixels --> right 2 pixels) x ____ times, then, back to 1-pixel shuddering for the *initial* moments of the "death fall" (the remainder of the fall is "normal" trajectory down... no shuddering).
It would take some trial-and-error to fine-tune the DEATH CONVULSION shudder, but, personally, I think it would provide Clash, myself, and like-minded folks the visceral "feedback" we crave
BOTTOM LINE: short + quick shudder, with just a bit of lingering shudder during initial descent.
ENEMIES: I think I would prefer death convulsion vs. "blinking" to indicate enemy sprites dying (and subsequently falling off screen)
BOSSES: I don't think I have a preference. Whatever looks better (shuddering or blinking) to indicate a "hit"...
OTHERWISE: I love this demo and I don't want anything else changed. Yes, it is kicking my butt, but I have barely played it. Keep it challenging
Quote from: TheClash603 on 12/10/2016, 01:24 PMA.) When killing guys, maybe there should be a bit more of a noise or a little flash or red blood spot or something? The character's attacks don't seem to have weight and killing someone doesn't give a feeling of satisfaction.I also feel that this utterly fantastic Lucretia would be even better if it were more visceral... if there was some indication/feedback that indicated when (1) boss was hit and (2) enemy killed.
B.) I also suggest that the bosses flash or there is some indicator you are hitting them. First time I reached the boss I wasn't sure I was doing damage.

Quote from: guest on 11/29/2016, 07:36 AMBack when the oval office wasn't oval and had a giant flag painted on the wall, and you had to be careful not to hit your head when going through the door. Good times.Yup.
edit: seriously, the time travelling aspect of the original game is interesting, if I understand it right the game had you going after the US president and the USSR PM in the "90's", that would have been fun to do in the PCE version.
I remember when Zigfried (?) (one of the oldtimers) was explaining the original plot to XZR... I thought he was making up crazy shite. Honestly.
Anyway, about that American flag: I love it because it is exactly what a kid does when they draw a flag...13 stripes (+/- 40 stripes) and 50 stars (+/- 40 stars).

Good luck, I like the idea. Even though I will be Mr. Negative below, I really do wish you the best of luck. Anything you work on, IMHO, can be a fun/meaningful experience, even if you abort it
The journey is the key. The destination is incidental
------
The problem is.....
Content.
Even if you acquired fantastic scans for a lot of stuff.... What will you say about It? What can you say that *isn't* banal and trite? What can you say that *is* refreshing and new?
Collectors can suck my left one: there are websites to use to track games.
Then again, an illustrated collector's guide might be the best idea (since collecting has a lot of appeal these days)!
I'm not trolling... The scope and purpose of the book depends on who your audience is (and that is a conscious decision).
For example, one infamous collector actually documented all the random ephemera (stickers/posters/suppositories) that came with TG-16 games. I thought that was pretty darn neat and I loved the level of detail. I'm not a collector, but I absolutely love knowing all those details/trivia. So, a "checklist" will be nice for some folks, but an "illustrated" checklist would be more broadly appealing (IMHO). Websites are a better medium, though, for this sort of project, since they can be updated and revised instantly....
---
The problem with folks volunteering content (reviews/blurbs/etc.) is that it will be of varying quality/accuracy/perspective.
Of course, that is assuming folks actually follow-through with pledges to create something.

Some on this forum have said there was never a UK PAL Turbografx console release, even I tiny unsuccessful one. But I've said there was an extremely limited (very unsuccessful) UK PAL Turbografx console release that was somehow linked to Telegames and this flyer confirms what I had remembered.

Baffling!
However, I have long-argued that the North American art should be appreciated.
Life is boring if the original PCE art was recycled.

I tried 3, didn't like it as much. Haven't tried one since. Should I?Civ 4 is amazing. I haven't tried 5 or 6 yet because I still have 4 (with the Beyond the Sword expansion) installed.
Civ 6 looks pretty impressive so I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point.
Speaking of Civ games, I found this at a nearby thrift store earlier this week. So many minis! Now I just need to come up with friends to play it with. :p
That's what I did after dog ate miniatures.

PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Happy Halloween! TG-16 Wallpaper for computer/phone/telex
10/31/2016, 12:35 AM
I took these photos in October of 2009 and promptly lost them/forgot about them.
It was going to be another "Sexy TurboBooster Wallpaper" or "TG-16 is aesthetically kool, you bastards!" sort of thing...
So... these photos were taken with horrible lighting and a crappy camera, but I like a good challenge so I selected a few and tried to make them look decent.
DIRECTIONS: (1) "_full" = Crop these images yourself. (2) You can request specific sizes and I'll make them for you. (3) I was too busy to resize all the images a billion times. So, request something!
TurboTap
https://junk.tg-16.com/images/candy_apple_1484_full.jpg (4.0 MB)
EXAMPLE: If I was cropping the image above to 1920x1080, I would do this... (a) set width to 1920 (b) play around with the height until it looks nice (only 1080 available).
SAMPLE 1920x1080: https://junk.tg-16.com/images/candy_apple_1483_1920x1080.jpg (1.3 MB)
No TurboTap
So no 5-player Dungeon Explorer...

SansBooster ...but TG-16 is "slim"
https://junk.tg-16.com/images/candy_apple_1528_full.jpg (4.1 MB)
BOO! TurboBooster = Massive Fun (I tried )
https://junk.tg-16.com/images/candy_apple_1555_full.jpg (4.1 MB)
BOO! TurboBooster... is "flying away"... (ouch)
