Space Fantasy Zone

I need a copy of Space Fantasy Zone.

Since I highly doubt anyone is selling legitimate copies here, a "copy" will do just fine.

Thanks.

Nobody? Seriously? I'll pay for the frickin' CD-R if that's what you're worried about.

Keranu · 09/05/2007, 05:55 PM

I was going to reply to this but I just remembered that the only CD-Rs I have laying around are pretty crappy and might not work well in the actual system.

nat · 09/05/2007, 06:17 PM

What brand are they?

The only CD-R that won't play on any of my systems is the Xak III patched version. But I have an English Ys IV on the same CD-R media that works fine. Go figure.

My TurboGrafx and SuperGrafx like FujiFilm CD-Rs. I'll send you money to buy a pack of them if you make me a copy of Space Fantasy Zone.

Haha it might be easier for you to download it yourself

. If you want, I can temporarily host it on my webspace and give you the link in a PM to download. By the way, keep in mind that there was a user here who posted that Space Fantasy Zone wiped out all of his internal RAM saves, so beware.

I suggest downloading the game as well. I have an ISO on my HD and could temporarily host it for you if you can't find it elsewhere.

nat · 09/06/2007, 10:29 AM

The trouble is, I can't burn the ISO/CUE sets that Turbo games come in on my computer at home. If anyone knows how to do that on a Mac, please fill me in. I've tried countless times and made at least 20 coasters.

I have Toast 8.something. Toast wants everything in BIN/CUE.

Nazi NecroPhile · 09/06/2007, 12:37 PM

Stupid apples.

Can I interest you in a bin/cue upload?

That would be great!

Keranu · 09/06/2007, 06:59 PM

I think the version I have is iso/mp3, so let Necromancer take care of it ;) .

elnino · 09/07/2007, 05:49 AM

Mine is bin/cue as well, just in case.

td741 · 09/07/2007, 09:46 AM

Ooo... Me too please?!

Nazi NecroPhile · 09/07/2007, 12:00 PM

PMs sent.

CrackTiger · 09/07/2007, 09:19 PM

If you want, I can make you a copy of my disc, which a is third generation copy(not a download).

I also made covers for it, I'll see if I can find the images.

I'm a Mac guy too and I've at least gotten Toast to burn me the disc properly. Problem is the burn speed screws up the disc for the Turbo. I can't figure out how to throttle down the speed sufficiently for the Mac burner.

D-Lite, could you fill me in on how you go Toast to at least burn an ISO/CUE set properly? What version of Toast do you use?

I am the king of necroposting!

I finally have the ability to burn ISO/CUE sets. So I need an ISO/CUE set of Space Fantasy Zone. One with ALL THE MUSIC TRACKS INTACT. It seems the popular image floating around has at least one track of dead air, and two tracks that truncate after a couple seconds and are dead air for the rest of the duration.

The only image I can find via Google is the bad rip mentioned above.

I'd love a MEGAUPLOAD or FILESHARE link to a good rip.

Thanks. When I get home I expect PMs with more links to good rips than I know what to do with.

Nazi NecroPhile · 11/15/2007, 01:14 PM

In my exhausting quest to find a perfectly clean rip of Space Fantasy Zone, I learned (via disc ripper extraordinaire Squaresoft74) that there is no such thing. This is a prototype after all, and unfortunately the music is one of the things that wasn't completed before the project was abandoned. I'll send you a PM of what I have, if I can ever get mediafire to cooperate.

nat · 11/15/2007, 02:05 PM

Thank you. I'm still at work so I haven't looked at what you sent, so it is my understanding then that we are stuck playing the game with some levels lacking music altogether? In the copy I have, stage 3 for example has 5 seconds of music and then 4 minutes of dead air before repeating those 5 seconds again. Is this correct?

CrackTiger, don't you have a copy of the actual game (as opposed to an ISO)? Can you confirm this?

Joe Redifer · 11/21/2007, 09:58 AM

I would rip it for you with Toast, but Toast won't let me create an image file. Though Mac aficionados will be quick to tell you otherwise, CD-R burning/copying on the Mac is severely limited. Nero on the PC PWNZ.

I agree. And the sad part is there is absolutely NO reason an app like Nero couldn't be created for the Mac.

I own a Mac running 10.4, so what I did was install Parallels with an old copy of XP Pro I had laying around. I also installed an old copy of Nero I had laying around and it works like a dream with the Mac's built-in SuperDrive. I can now burn away to my heart's content! Yay me!

One reason: the Apple zealots would have to admit to themselves that Macs are not adept at every task.

Did you dudes know that Mac was originally calling their computers "PC", rofl. Apparently IBM stole the name from them

I think not - the first Mac was the Apple I. The description 'personal computer' was applied to many computers before the IBM Personal Computer 5150 (shortened to IBM PC), but the IBM was the first to use the term as part of the actual model name.

nat · 11/21/2007, 04:47 PM

The term "Personal Computer" or "PC" for short predates both Macintosh and IBM both. It was a general term used to describe any kind of home computer regardless of make or model, to differentiate them from the room-sized mainframes and such.

Somewhere along the line, probably around the time 8088-based IBM PC clones started showing up on the market, the term's usage shifted to include only IBM PCs "and compatible."

Technically speaking, if you really want to be anal, the term "PC" is still valid when referring to a home computer whether it be a PC-clone, Mac, or otherwise. It's just that very few people in today's society will know what you mean if you refer to your Mac as a "PC."
