I'm working on your list right now man, if you didn't already see it. Most everything so far I agree with. I just want to research a few things a bit deeper before I sign off on em. The only thing I am in disagreement with is SimEarth. I don't get a black screen when I play it. It's blank on the top half in the beginning, but everything else seems to play fine and I'm not convinced that this is an error. Having never played it before today I can't be sure. (Perhaps somebody who knows the game can verify for sure).

Sorry a lot of those games weren't available in the US or period. Those were the ones I added later that I hadn't researched until today. I have (US) boxart for all of them, so I thought they were just good roms that I didn't have, but I couldn't find them either. Glad to have you in agreement on that anyways.

Looking forward to your next release of vids. Hopefully we can get S done shortly and I'll release P-S.

Thanks again for all of your help man,
~Rx

Hey Horshct,

I just checked out your FFV video and it's great man. Top notch work. I haven't really checked out more than the first second or so with most videos, so I haven't really seen your other work though. If it's that good, those are great vids man. Thanks

I know im a little late to jump into this discousion, but I use this batch file to convert

alfa4_n1n54:

yeah, when searching for a solution I also came by that batch file. Unfortunately it suffers from the same issue as mencoder:

the resulting wmvs wouldn't convert to xmv for me.

That's why I had to find a different way.

@Rx:

this is realy everything I get when starting Sim Earth:

And I am pretty sure there should be something where the black area is. On the top of the screen you can see one line of "terrain".

EDIT: seems that pressing select actualy brings you to a different in-game screen, on which you can actualy see stuff

. Gonna do a video of that. Hope to finish "S" by tomorrow.

Rx, regarding the game "Godzilla - Destroy All Monsters": from your description it sounds like a game called "King of Monsters" or "king of Monsters 2". Is it any of these 2 games or realy the japanese game I listed?

Hey Horscht,

Yeah.... looks like you came to the same conclusion on Sim Earth that I did. I really couldn't tell you if that screen should have color where it's black. it would seem that it should, but everything else seems to work fine.

Glad to see you still working on this. Let me know when you've got S done and I'll package it all up and post it.

I'm going back to work tonight, so it might not be up for a few days if I can't get the time.

~Rx

EDIT: It's actually "Godzilla - Kaijuu Daikessen" just like you had it listed. If this is a clone of King of Monsters I'd be really surprised. It's got legitimate Godzilla monsters in it.

Horscht · « **Reply #110 on:** July 19, 2008, 05:05:00 AM »

ok, verified it's a different game than King of Monsters. Video Done, will post it in the next set, when I've finished doing S

Hey Horscht,

I got your files converted and they're getting packed up now. I'll upload them to megaupload tonight while I'm at work (it takes about 3.5 hours). Hopefully Windows doesn't do an update on me overnight and reset my computer while I'm waiting for the upload to complete and I can just post the link in the morning when I get back.

I've taken the liberty of adding the known translations that weren't obviously unfinished in my collection to the spreadsheet as well. I've only played several of these for any length of time, so there may be a few that aren't translated well enough to keep at this point. Just thought somebody may want to help out on these one day. The few translated games I did play so far are really good and these make an excellent addition to a SNES collection, especially for RPG fans in particular.

Thanks again Horscht,
~Rx

Horscht · « **Reply #113 on:** July 19, 2008, 04:40:00 PM »

yes, I noticed that. I think it's good that you added them at the bottom of the list, as they are low priority, tbh. First we should get a full US/Euro set out for the videos. I might then go through my list in Zsnexbox and look what videos are still missing (my set is now fully cleaned thanks to GoodSNES/GoodMERGE/UnGoodMERGE, no more rgional dupes at all, only english games (japanese translations included)

) and might do a few, but I will probably not do a whole lot of these, as my vacation is over next week, which means I gotta go back to work

I hope to get the rest of the non translated videos done by tomorrow evening.

ressurectionx · « **Reply #114 on:** July 19, 2008, 05:08:00 PM »

Yeah.... I thought it might be tough getting a full set of the English translations, but I thought I'd put them out there anyways. Maybe somebody will pick up the torch after you're done. Hell... I might even do it myself someday when I get all of the other things done that I'm doing, but there's a ton of work to do so I didn't jump on actually creating any of the videos this time around.

I'm about half-way done with a perfect Boxart/Title/Action/Cartridge pack for SNES. I figured I'd put that out when I was done as incentive for NES to give the emu ability to display both at the same time. I know there are currently no skins that would support it, but we've got to have a couple of artists in here who would be willing to alter the current skins to have two boxes instead of one if all of the videos and artwork are already done.

I did all of my de-duping by hand myself. Likely more work that way, but the games are named the way that I want them. I will eventually go through all of the SNES games and make a compatibility list for them too. We already know some games that don't work, but I know there are others. Hopefully people would add any missing games to the list or tell us if they have a version of a non-working game that works.

If you get those other vids out by tomorrow night I should be able to find some time to post the rest in the next few days. I work 12 hour shifts and this is my 4 day week, so we'll see. I'll be out of town this weekend, so I'd like to get it done before I leave. Here's hoping...

here's the rest of the bunch (minus 2 or 3 videos of games that did not work in zsnes)

SNES WMV Complete (#-E): DOWNLOAD

SNES WMV Complete (F-O): DOWNLOAD

SNES WMV Complete (P-S): DOWNLOAD

Thanks for all your hard work Horscht. I'll try getting the rest out in the next few days before I go out of town.

SNES WMV Complete (T-Z): DOWNLOAD

Enjoy everyone, particularly NES, and a million thanks to Horscht for all of his quick work and great videos. (And Sotu too

)

When I get a datfile together and complete the screenshot/artwork set for SNES, I'll post all of the links together in their own thread.

Hopefully somebody will work on the translated videos now to make this collection complete.

~Rx

P.S..... if this ability finds its way to XPORT emus, I'll be around to make video sets if people are willing to work with me and fill in the blanks.

ressurectionx · « **Reply #118 on:** July 21, 2008, 07:22:00 AM »

Glad you like the vids. I'd love to try your rumbles out sometime. I have a feeling that I'm going to have most of my XBox time for a while wrapped up in video and screenshot previews in the near future if NES or somebody else gets the videos working on XPORT emus.... Even more time if we can get both previews to show up at the same time. They're going to look freakin' awesome though.

I think it would be a great idea, now that those of us who aren't very coding savvy are coming out with great additions to these emus, if we created a thread that somebody could edit and add when new features (complete ones) like these vids and your rumbles are released. I know there are quite a few things that I saw in the last year that I would love to try, but I'd probably have to dig through 30 pages of stuff to get at it someday. I believe Sotu and Cospfogo had some excellent artwork not too long ago that I'd love to try out someday and there are also some cool skins floating around out there that I never had the chance to try yet. The thread should then be stickied at the top and labeled something like "EMU TWEAKS!" or something.

I've never used the rumble feature before, and I'm not even aware of how the progress is on the rumble at this point. I have to admit that if someday I can play Combat on the Atari 2600 and feel my controller rumble every time I get shot, that would be pretty damn cool.

Glad you're working on it and it seems we still have quite a few others who aren't letting the scene die. Most of the emus are pretty damn perfect, or as good as they're going to get, compatibility wise. If we can just get a few feature tweaks like the video and screenshot displays in tandem, us grunts can finish the job and make the XBox the premier video game museum that M$ never wanted it to be....

Take care,
~Rx

nice.

at first glance, i see quite a few translations in there. Might compare it with the current "missing translation" list later on
