no, not yet. still sifting through my romsets, playing a bit rockband and guitar hero besides I finished going through R so far will start with S - Z later (looking which translations are not "worth it"). I consider anything below 90% not worth it, for RPGs it has to be even higher by my standards.

Ahhhhhh Guitar Hero.  My bro laughs at me because he kicks my ass at it even though I play guitar.

some translations A - F

Hey Sotu,

My emu has worked fine for all of the roms so far.  Any roms I've had a problem with, I've verified with Horscht and gotten the correct version if there was one.  "Pieces" is the ONLY game that we're still in disagreement with.  

Unfortunately, it's a lot of your untranslated roms that don't work.  Horscht probably won't verify those as he doesn't really care about them.  Most of them freeze up my XBox.  Because all of my other roms, US-English, Translated, and Untranslated that I had before still work, so I'm almost positive it's not my configuration at all.....

Oh well.  If I can't get the untranslated to work soon, I will remove the vids for the non-working games and put the games in the non-working section.  I'll try a few more things, but it's getting real old having to get up and reset my XBox every 30 seconds trying to test these out.  I dont' even have them zipped now, because I know sometimes zips aren't good.

It would be unfortunate if I have to remove them.  I like your videos.

Added for ya Sotu,

I really respect your opinion about games that work because you did most of the work on the PSX before I did and games that I tried I agreed with you almost all the time.  If I end up removing a game to make progress, I will make it blue so it's in despute and it's easy for you to see.  If you say it's working, I believe it is, I just need to see it to keep it in my collection, and the collection I'll be releasing in the future.

I can verify them working, sotu. I tested them fine on my console (using Roms from the GoodSNES set)


regarding videos:
I myself can create videos just fine using zsnes. In fact, I don't have the option of using snes9x, as snes9x lacks a proper linux GUI, and I haven't found one that allows anything beyond basic options (load rom, save state).

[Horscht]

F-N translations (I missed one starting with F)

seing as he got the emumovies DVD, I assume he also has FTP access, so technicaly, he'd have access to all systems listed on emumovies.com

I should add, that SNES and NES are probably the only ones I am realy interested in, I never was a Sega guy

will try to get a few more translation videos out by today/tomorrow.

[ressurectionx]

Yeah.... It's very strange.

How can I test nearly 1,000 games without a problem, but the last 20 or so untranslated games lock up my XBox?  I'd be worried it was my setup if I was having problems with previously tested games, but trying them out at random they all still worked fine for me.

I even went as far as to delete game saves for games that I've changed names for (there were about 500 of them).  Every time you play a game it creates a new save for it, so I had quite a few that were unnecessary after all of my name changing.  I thought maybe that was giving me problems adding new ones, but that wasn't the case apparently.  

So now I'm going to test the remaining untranslated games with a new install of ZSnesbox, even though they won't make my personal box, just for the sake of having an accurate list of working games.

I have Sotu's exact roms, so getting a good set shouldn't be the problem here.  He says that they work on his box, so there should be no problems on my box.  This is very strange.



Oh... and I got 10 DVD's in the mail of videos and I have lifetime access to the FTP site for videos.  I can't say for sure which systems I have videos for since I didn't look at anything except for SNES yet, but I think it's pretty safe to say all of the major ones for Atari, Nintendo, Sega, PSX, etc...

ok, here's all my translations up to S

that's it for this week, let's see when I'll have the time to do the rest next week.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O8VC8CCH

I need someone else to do a video of  Laplace no Ma/Rapurasa No Ma, as this game does not seem to work with zsnes 1.51 for PC and I can't use snes9x.

[ressurectionx]

Great work Horscht.  I'm working the next few days so I won't be able to do any more work myself for a while either.  

Actually Sotu, Action Pachio was one of about half of your translated ones that I had marked as working.  Like I said though, I usually only tested most games out to the point that you could move your character around and take an action screenshot, so there's likely quite a few more that don't work once played for a while that I have marked as working.  Did they tell you where it messed up?  I'll mark it down in the spreadsheet where it screws up if they did.

Anybody got any ideas of why these are messing up on me or things to try to fix them?  I tried to delete saves for them, but noticed that any game that locked up my box didn't even have a save made for it.  I didn't go back and try all 800+ games I've marked as working, but I did try about 30 at random and they all start up fine.  It's just these last 20 or so translated versions that are locking up the box.  

I'd really like to have the games on my system since Sotu's made videos for them even though their untranslated.  I'm also concerned that if this is a deeper and more serious problem that other working games might start messing up as well.

Any advice would be appreciated.

[Horscht]

I hereby wanna report that I now have finished almost all videos so far, minus a few exceptions.

http://www.megauploa.../de/?d=IO59CHIM

the few exceptions are the following:

BS Zelda no Densetsu Map1 and Map2
BS Zelda No Densetsu - *japanese words* stone tablets part 1-4

those were not yet done, but I will make a set containing videos for this later this or next week.

Laplace no Ma / Rapurasa no Ma

we need someone else to do the video, as the game works in zsnexbox, but not in zsnes 1.51 (for linux)

Just thought I'd drop in and let everyone know that I finally got video previews working in x-port emu's.  It's partially based on the XDK movie playing code that NES6520 modified.  So you can count on seeing it in future releases.

Apparently Nes6502 had been working on implementing it as well.  But since I had already made like a gazillion changes to commonfuncs.cpp and already had a framework I went ahead and plugged it in.

[sotu]

Thank you Madmab for all your hard work!  

These past months have been legendary for the emu scene with so many new features across multiple emu's.  It's a good time to be an enthusiast.  

[ressurectionx]

Fracking A awesome Horscht.  You and I make a great team I think.     Look how much shit we accomplished in about 2 weeks....

Sotu, I think I got Action Pachio to work much farther than black on startup.  I'll verify and let you know for sure.  It may just be a bad rom that you've got, because I marked it as working on the compatibility spreadsheet.  Thank you so much for your help here too and I hope you can make videos for your other games to add to the collection soon.  I want to release my artwork packs, but I'm waiting for you to finish the translated gems videos so I can get the artwork for all of them (boxart and in game scans only, since I can't find foreign cartridge artwork).  Maybe if you have a list of games that you will be making the vids for and put them in the spreadsheet, I can do that ahead of time and release it with a datfile finally.  (I'm really trying to give incentive for someone to figure out how to make simultaneous video/artwork previews and a skin to support the function)

And madmab.... my boy  

Knew you could do it man.  I can't wait to see it.  Which system are you figuring you'll apply it to first?  I will convert a few of my purchased videos to wmv for you to put on your system to see just how bad ass of a thing you did.  Hopefully we can get help getting a full set of the Atari collections like we did here in SNES land.  I believe that's the emus you're partial to....

Great thanks to all everyone, and great work.  I think we might be breathing life back into this scene again.
