Here's the Atari 7800 Synopsis, and I relinquish control of it. I'll have the 5200 one soon. I forgot to email it to myself.

I'm currently working on Gameboy/Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advance, so please don't start anything on that one.

Later,

Hey Mega Man is was just wondering how you found my CRC's did any of them work?

Haven't had a chance to check this out yet, crash, I have been making videos.
I will let you know soon.

Hey guys.... I'm going to try to get the GBA blueprint synopsis out there this weekend. I will have to get the GBC stuff squared away tomorrow at work but I don't know if I'll be able to do it. I think this will be pretty cool doing it this way because I've created the Headline fields for every game included in the Xtras with some of the information filled out. None of the Body work will be done on it, but if somebody wants to work on it all they'd have to do is plug in the information. The newest no-intro CRCs and game titles will all be there with the rest just waiting to be filled out. If I don't get it up this weekend it should be up by next.

Thanks Frank.... I'll get it up there. I forget to do some of this stuff some time since I'm the only one with the editing capabilities.

I'll be sure to get it fixed when I put the 5200 up here finally. I've also almost completed the GBA synopsis "blueprint" file. Anybody working on it will know exactly what needs to be made when they have the hot-potato since the headline info, title and CRCs for every GBA/GB/GBC game included in the Xtras will be already on there waiting to be filled out.

EDIT: Anybody interested in doing any more at this point? I haven't heard much on this front for a while.

Ok sweet. Yea once you have the Gameboy synopsis all set up I'll rip into that.

Mega Man (?) · « **Reply #170 on:** April 30, 2009, 05:40:00 PM »

What about the nes? what is that one looking like?
I am going to download the newest gen synopsis ,and add my crc's if necessary.

So... know one went ahead and just added all the .crc from the goodset for this? It would be nice if the synopsis was universal, even if people don't use our rom sets.

ressurectionx · « **Reply #171 on:** April 30, 2009, 05:58:00 PM »

Didn't I put the NES synopsis up there already?

I'd like more CRC's added to the Genesis, but like I said before you have to be careful with that because if you add CRC's to the main (US) roms that are actually for the hacks then you will block the synopsis from showing the true hack info. I'd say do it if you want, but use extreme caution. It's not a process you can just sleepwalk through. That's why two separate people have gone through and added their CRCs by hand.

The Gameboy has just the no-intro set now. I hope to add any CRC's I don't have to it, but I think all of mine should be good since I used the latest no-intro set for the Gameboy Xtras. The file is nearly 500k so far and it just has the headline fields (most of them not even filled out).

Looks like Crash wants it first. I'll let you know when I get it done. Let me know if the NES synopsis isn't up there already. I'm off to work.

I checked and the newest NES one is up there in THIS THREAD. I'm sure there is plenty more work to be done on it, but it is definitely in the advanced stages compared to some of the other ones.

I've also put the newest 5200, Genesis, and Gameboy synopsis up there.

The Gameboy blueprint synopsis took me 2-3 weeks to get set up. Would really love to know what you guys think of it. Good knowing that I just set up the largest emu in terms of roms by far..... whew!

Holy Crap!

It's huge. Well done Rx it's awesome.

Ok then how do you want me to go about this?

I'm going to start with Licenced Gameboy and work down. Does anyone else want to have a go at a few letters? It would probably be best to start with the licenced games first:

(1.1) LICENSED GAMEBOY
(1.2) TRANSLATED GAMEBOY
(1.3) UPDATE HACKS GAMEBOY
(1.4) FOREIGN GAMEBOY
(1.5) UNLICENSED GAMEBOY
(1.6) PERSONAL ASSISTANTS GAMEBOY
(1.7) NON-WORKING GAMEBOY
(2.1) LICENSED GAMEBOY COLOR
(2.2) TRANSLATED GAMEBOY COLOR
(2.3) UPDATE HACKS GAMEBOY COLOR
(2.4) FOREIGN GAMEBOY COLOR
(2.5) UNLICENSED GAMEBOY COLOR
(2.6) NON-WORKING GAMEBOY COLOR
(3.1) LICENSED GAMEBOY ADVANCE
(3.2) TRANSLATED GAMEBOY ADVANCE
(3.3) UPDATE HACKS GAMEBOY ADVANCE
(3.4) FOREIGN GAMEBOY ADVANCE
(3.5) VIDEO CARTRIDGES GAMEBOY ADVANCE
(3.6) POKEMON HACKS GAMEBOY ADVANCE
(3.7) NON-WORKING GAMEBOY ADVANCE

Thanks man! That was a TON of work!

I like the way you're going at it. It should be easy for others to do letters too now and give you their work so you can just plug it in.

Thanks for your efforts on it now. I look forward to seeing where you guys take it. I'll start making synopsis' like that for the systems that don't have any yet in my free time.

Later,
~Rx

EDIT: If somebody wanted to help out with a synopsis that is already almost done, I need a bunch of synopsis for Licensed US games on the NES.

Check the spreadsheet HERE for which ones need to be done. If there is an "x" instead of a name, it hasn't been created.

Be sure to just download the newest NES synopsis first and just plug in the info for the ones you're going to do. Make sure you let us know which letters you're doing so nobody does double work.

Thanks ahead of time for any interest.

~Rx

EDIT2: I'm currently adding some new things to the NES synopsis. I'll have the newest NES synopsis up there for anyone to work from later today or tomorrow. I was missing about 60 CRC's from my own personal collection that I've added. I'm going over a few more potential additions and I added about 40 more that stupot1 made videos for. For now, the synopsis up there is fine to work from if you use it for the NES US licensed games. Feel free to add your own CRC to the file as well so it will work for you while your'e at it.

(Only add CRCs for games your writing the synopsis for. I won't see the other ones. When I'm done with the hot-potato on this one, feel free to claim it and add your other CRCs then)

They work (to some extent) with the current emulators. But for the full experience you would need the full blow dual interface version of the emulator. Which are currently beta, but they do exist. Those who have been helping have access to the beta's to make things easier to check.

A public beta of mednafenx-NES will probably be released some time in the next week or so.

If you wanna help out with a synopsis just check out the synopsis hot potato thread...

ressurectionx · « **Reply #177 on:** May 03, 2009, 05:32:00 PM »

Hey xenepp,

Thanks for the offer. Yes, the spreadsheet is up to date. Any with an "X" are not complete.

Download the document and you'll see though that all of them are in there waiting to be filled out. Just follow the format of the finished ones and you'll do great. Just remember to put the reviewer's name and the web URL at the bottom of each synopsis (check finished ones on how that should look as well)

Let us know which letters you're going to do so nobody else does them. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

ressurectionx · « **Reply #178 on:** May 03, 2009, 08:49:00 PM »

You don't have to add any CRCs if you don't want to. You'll know which ones you need when you use the beta that will be released soon. Likely, you won't need to add any of them, but I had to because I had a lot of old uncataloged roms for the NES.

Sure, when you're done just send it to me. If you want to email me instead of megauploading it, PM me for my email.

Later,
~Rx

PS... I'm almost done with the updated NES synopsis. When I have it, download the new one and use it for any future editing you're planning on doing. I'll let everyone know when it's up.

ressurectionx · « **Reply #179 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:30:00 PM »

I've updated the NES synopsis. It now matches exactly with the results of the spreadsheet. If there is an "X" by a game in the synopsis category, it needs the headline info filled out and the body work done.

It now has the headline fields for every single Xtra game as well as the titles and CRCs, just like the GBA synopsis. Just fill in the blanks!
