I decided to update and split the spreadsheet into 3 sheets.

round 1 is already done,

round 2 is what has to be done now, I haven't had the chance yet to "verify" the translated list or compare it with sotus list of videos (and I wont be able to in the next few days, not until I have renamed all current videos etc.)

round 3 is something that REALY EVERYONE is welcome to fill with games (also video

). Not only will this help us get the videos to said gems, but it will also give people ideas and suggestions for games to play

Awesome stuff guys. I probably won't be on much for the next week, but I'll get back to work on it when I can.

Just wanted to say my appreciation to Horscht again for all of his help making the missing videos and his invaluable help making that batch converting file. It saved me weeks of work, really. I just went through every game in my US-English set that we dont' have marked as non-working yet and there is now a video for every game in that folder. THEY LOOK GREAT!!!!!!

And a big thanks to NES for making the video preview a possibility in the first place. This is now, hands down, the best emu on the XBox.

Hopefully we'll see vids for the good English translations in the future. And also the ability to view the game manuals for the current game (if available) from the options screen. I have several hundred game manuals that were converted from pdf to jpg and they look great in the image preview option already, just waiting to be used properly when the emu allows and I will release them then as well for those who want them. I also have many Strategy Guides as well that could benefit from that ability too.

When I get a chance, I will update Horscht's spreadsheet to reflect every video in the collection and when I get around to testing the SNES games I will make the spreadsheet a compatibility list for Zsnesbox as well. I'm sure there are probably other games that don't work that we have videos for, but we don't know it yet because we didn't have to make about 700 of the videos from scratch. Overall though, I think this emu probably plays 98% of the games available or more.

I'm also working on a complete artwork pack for the SNES that I will release shortly.

I will also release a datfile so you can rename your roms to match the artwork/manuals/videos/etc. when I'm ready.

Nice work everybody who contributed, and to all the others I hope you enjoy....

PS... Horscht... I made a 4th sheet for the non-working games/games without videos. There is also a game that you had marked as not working that you can get to work if you mash buttons at the title screen, it's on the list and the color is white again. For some reason it freezes if you do nothing, but it will play if you just mash the buttons and the start button.

Sotu... I just looked at your videos... quite a few that we can add to the translated pile. Nice work. I'm sure that they all look good and are probably better than a lot of the videos already included. Maybe some of yours should replace vids we already have when I release the SNES extra's thread in the future.

SNES Compatibility and Video Checklist

There's 5 sheets in the workbook now, but it shouldn't be too confusing for anyone.

Hopefully that helps structure where we're at now for everyone

PS... Horscht... I don't have an account now where I can do much more than edit. If there is a way you can save all of this now, that would be great. Never know when some dumb cybervandal will come in here and trash the place.

With the videos previews, zsnexbox is by far the most impressive emu
I know Xport (the god) have stopping the coding,
so is there a emu coder out there who could had that fantastic feature to xports emulators?(now that source code is released)?I really hope yes. Congrats for your videos though

Horscht · « **Reply #126 on:** July 22, 2008, 12:19:00 PM »

if I understand correctly, nes6502 is already doing just that.

@RX: no biggie about the games # - B, i'll just leave your name in there, as I myself have no clue what videos I made

and nice job about the spreadsheet, let's hope people will fill in

PS: As soon as I get my NES set goodmerged (GoodNES V3.14), I can already create a nice NES Spreadsheet only containing US roms (and european roms, when no US rom exists).

EDIT: what do you mean by "do more than edit"? Can't you save it as .xls (via file -> export)? Also, I am the "owner" of the file and I think I can revert any changes made to it, if need be (let's hope that wont happen

)

PPS: I saved it to my HD as .ods now (open document spreadsheet) just in case...

I went through the translation list so far and found a few alleged translations, of which a few are barely even translated. I marked them red and commented them. You'll also find an additional spreadsheet labeled temporary. Those are translations I found in my set that weren't yet on the translation list.

Please do not paste these over to the translation sheet just yet, I will do so when I have finished going through my set. I am as far as H now.

PS: please also note, that I am not saying the red ones should not be done at all. It means that *I* will definately will not make those, as I deem the translations not "good" enough. You are of course free to create those videos yourself, but i'd consider these generaly a lower priority.

Hey man. Good to hear you backed it up. I can't stress how important that is because of vandals and just your general computer screw ups.

I updated the list again. Lots of new things. I was making the missing action screenshots for games tonight and figured I'd work on the list at the same time.

you might have noticed while editing: I also made a few remarks

. All stuff I edited was from my memory, but I only edited things I was certain about. I will probably add a few remarks etc. in the next few days, probably not today though, as I came home 2 hours late today

Thanks twan9666.... Glad you're enjoying the vids if you got them.

Yeah Horscht. I saw you made some comments. I wasn't even aware that some of these games can be played on the other SNES emu until now. I'd love to say it should just be added, but after having poked around in MAME's code anatomy, I would never assume it would be an easy fix. It may require using an updated core, or introducing code that hasn't been made yet. It might be really easy though too. Who knows?

We've got a list now of what doesn't work out there. Maybe if some people would like to try now that it's not a yearlong project they'd have an easy list to go off of. We'll probably add more games at some point, but a lot of the legit non-working ones are out there now.

I saw you're on the spreadsheet now? What are you working on?

~Rx

PS. Everyone....

I added them to the table so anyone can see in the future, but I highly recommend acquiring the "Secret of Evermore - 2 Player Edition (Hack)" to play the dog on the 2nd player and "Return of Double Dragon (Music Fix)" so the intro and demo music is the theme and final fight song from Double Dragon the Arcade.

Hey Sotu,

All of your videos from Hamelin no Violin Hiki to Heisei Inu Monogatari Bow don't work. Can you re-upload them?

Also Last fighter Twin doesn't work as well.

I've updated your contributions to the spreadsheet. I'd appreciate it if you just zipped future videos you make together for ease of integrating. Thanks for your contribution.

~Rx

Hey Sotu,

Never mind about fixing the videos. They all work now. I don't know if you fixed them or if it was just glitching out on me yesterday.

Also, Horscht and I say that Cu-On-Pa SFC, Dirt Trax FX, Kirby's Avalanche don't work. How did you make this videos?

Thanks again man. Hope to see more from you soon,
~Rx

Horscht · « **Reply #133 on:** July 25, 2008, 10:20:00 AM »

he probably used snes9x on PC. Both emulators have different compatibilities but both can record movies to avi. Just my guess, though.

EDIT: also, these games could also be compatible with zsnes, but not zsnexbox.

ressurectionx · « **Reply #134 on:** July 25, 2008, 10:48:00 AM »

You're probably right. I don't even know how to create the original videos. I just figured that since we're doing this for Zsnexbox that we were only making videos for Zsnexbox. Just looking for some clarification here.

Hopefully he adds more vids because those are a lot of cool untranslated games.

Did you make any more videos Horscht? I've updated the spreadsheet so it has all of the videos that Sotu made in the Translated section so you wouldn't be making any videos that were already made.

Later,
~Rx
