various rips

[Barack Obama]

Got Tengai Makyou Zero (JPN) to work with bsnes-rawpalettes:


Downloaded the translation v.7.0 from romhacking and applied it to the game.

First it looked like this:


Then I dumped the other contents of the translation patch into the game directory and remaned the game itself to Tengai Makyou Zero (English).
This way it matches the other files in name.

Then I tried again and after a few times after letting the game make its checks and pressing reset within the emulator, it worked.

Nice.

I'm always excited and curious to see what your next game is going to be!

[Barack Obama]

I'm also surprised by my own choices, but they're usually worth ripping.

There is also another game like Tengai Makyou Zero, it's called Bakumatsu Korinden ONI and also sets in a period similar to feudal Japan. Unfortunately, there is no English patch around for this one.

Anyway, the game has been submitted with two map sheets (Hisui's House, exterior / interior).

Ripped 17 sheets for Marvelous: Another Treasure Island (SNES).

Mostly maps, simply because bsnes-rawpalettes can show everything layered without the need to puzzle them together.
Therefore I was pretty quick with them, I didn't play the game or looked up any guides, just walked all over the place and grabbed every map available.
Sheet names are completely made up, btw.

I just ripped everything I could get my hands on by using a walk thru walls code:

This is it for this game.

Kirby stages are rippable now.
Submitted Mallow Castle 1 as a test rip, complete with animated background.
Not doing more of this, though.

Tool:
https://github.com/devinacker/bsnes-plus (base)
https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-41182...#pid675404 (rawpalettes-addon)

Both of these form bsnes-rawpalettes, which lets you rip with true colours instead of the slightly brighter bsnes-plus stuff.

I think I'll do a tutorial in some time.

Edit:
Ah, RTB already ripped some maps with this method. I knew the bg was kinda familiar.
I somehow have the feeling that the 8 top pixels of my map are missing, though.

Edit 2:
Nah, I cancelled this one. The background was missing something in tile map viewer and the foreground has missing stuff too.
Not sure what causes this. Maybe RTB replaced the missing stuff with stuff from the tile viewer?

[Ton]

Well this is massively exciting.

[Barack Obama]

Usually I do test rips to see how game x or y behaves.
While this looks pretty easy, I don't like that the game is missing stuff within the viewer.

This is what I wanted to submit (before I cancelled it), but the top of the foreground is cut off:

Spoiler

Pretty sure the far right is wrongly assembled too, but since the sheet is cancelled, I never fixed it.

Also the background originally had a hole in it:

I stuffed the hole with tiles from RTB, since he ripped the same bg.
But since these backgrounds get reused, it's kinda useless to include them on the sheet.

I would have continued, but the viewer makes too many problem with this game specifically.
It's not worth investing time in a game to learn how it behaves in the viewer if there's so many problems to begin with.

[Ton]

Ahh, bummer.
Any idea what you'll be looking at next?

[Barack Obama]

Lufia, Rudra & TMZ are done, so what do we have in the pot?

Maybe one of these:

Treasure Hunter G
Sword World SFC 2: Inishie no Kyojin Densetsu
DunQuest: Majin Fuuin no Densetsu
Dual Orb II
Terranigma
Tales of Phantasia
Secret of Evermore
Breath of Fire II
Super Shell Monsters Story II /  Daikaijuu Monogatari II
G.O.D. - Growth or Devolution / G.O.D. - Mezameyo to Yobu Koe ga Kikoe
Ihatovo Monogatari
Ys V: Ushinawareta Sunano Miyako Kefin
Slayers
Final Fantasy VI
Chaos Seed
Bakumatsu Korinden Oni
Holy Umbrella: Dondera no Mubo!!
Granhistoria
Emerald Dragon
Star Ocean

I really don't know.

[Skyla Doragono]

As a Tales nerd, my vote is for Phantasia, but also Breath of Fire II needs some love.

[Ton]

BOF 2 definitely needs love. So does Terranigma. Those would be awesome.
My inner fanboy says FF6, though.
