PCE Software Bible updates

Quote from: bernielindell on 04/10/2011, 01:58 PMThats a pretty big update! I am liking in spine card scans too. Hopefully the front and back high res scans for the USA set will be added eventually. I have quite a few, but dont really know what settings to scan them at for the best quality.

If you haven't a descreen setting on your scanner software, just do them at 500dpi and I'll despeckle and shrink them to 300dpi to mimimize the pattern you get from scanned print.

Paul, did you get that Y's map I tried to send to you? I wasn't sure if you could fit that on your site.

Say Paul, I've always wondered.....

Why do you reffer to one on one fighting games as "beat em ups" ?

_Paul · 04/25/2011, 05:39 AM

Quote from: apachacha on 04/22/2011, 11:08 AMSay Paul, I've always wondered.....

The use of the term 'Fighting Game' is either an Americanism or a more modern invention. They have always been beat 'em ups to me.

Glad to help.

Do you have anything else your missing images of ?

Opethian · 05/09/2011, 09:38 AM

Hey is there a site that has a list of what PCE games use the save RAM?

Pretty much anything that doesn't have them at the moment.

Quote from: Opethian on 05/09/2011, 09:38 AMHey is there a site that has a list of what PCE games use the save RAM?

My site has a battery icon on Hu games that use the RAM to save. I had a text list somewhere but I can't find it.

Opethian · 05/09/2011, 03:15 PM

Oh man if you could find that it would be awesome. I know someone who is looking to construct a new alternative to the tennokoe bank.

doesnt Darius Plus also use save for score? I know it uses the same block as Super Darius on CD because it loads my hi score list in both games.

_Paul · 05/10/2011, 03:11 AM

Not sure. I know there were a couple missing from the list that I had to add on my site.

Hey Paul, just wanted to say how awesome your site has become over the years.

Some comments:
I think one of the things missing is an easy way for readers to submit reviews and rate games. Emailing is all well and good, but people are lazy. Also, I think it would be amazing to adopt a rating system. It would be cool to copy PC Engine Fan's style: offer a few different categories for each game, as well as an aggregated score.

What do you think?

I think they are awesome ideas.
I also think I have absolutely no technical knowledge of how to implement such ideas, otherwise I would have had comment boxes and user rating a long time ago. If you look behind the scenes of my site, it's all made of cardboard and tape rather than polished metal, if you know what I mean
