Waiting for the new rom hacker

Kwyjor · Jul 25, 2020

It's really impressive that Nintendo had enough foresight to hold on to so much source code for thirty years.

It is baffling that they would keep it available somewhere that just any old hacker could pick it up, because how many people would actually need to look at this?! My bet is that someone raided a dumpster for a discarded hard drive or tape backup or something.

What is the point of this? Can we make something like mario maker from these?

the only benefit is that maybe hackers could port them to another systems without emulation right?

The only games that benefit from this is Pokemon others doesn’t matter.

Windows os should show you how many time did you copy, paste and move things hehe to prevent this

It also includes F-Zero: Maximum Velocity source and build (GBA).

Also, it includes a couple of GBA roms from the scene and VisualBoyAdvance emulator.

Don't take this for granted, but I think they were using the roms and the emu to creates rom patches to use with the iQue GBA emulator.

And ... it also includes Quake III source code.

History log of that

At least this shows Nintendo saves their source code. They don't pull a Square Enix. XD

To be fair, with a 3DS with CFW, you can install a lot more things to your home screen than 3DS games (e.g. homebrew, emulators, Forwarders, etc.). For instance, I use my 3DS to emulate NES, SNES, GB/C/A, and together with DS titles, VC, and 3DS games, I have about 350 games in total on my 3DS. I don't use forwarders for emulators, but it would be nice to know that I could if I wanted to

You can run DS games roms without a cart? How?

Well aware of this, in fact I have and use this. But I mean a genuine solution to the issue though, not a workaround like that. If we get the part of the 3DS source code that has the 300 title limit implemented, then theoretically we could remove or change that limit and not have to switch into a different emunand. Plus I'm more interested in a solution for the Wii U than I am the 3DS anyway honestly.

I havent used that i just add new folder as ABC folder thats all simple

Very interesting.

The Famicom_NES.7z archive contain 'all' the master NES/Famicom roms (Splitted CHR/PRG).

If you properly merge the splitted image and generate an iNES header based on the value from the HNPdata_List.xlsx from the previous Nintendo leak you get an image that is working on an emulator.

So if one of the game from the HNPdata_List.xlsx was not dumped, well now they are.

Example of Undumped roms in the archive:

Nintendo World Cup (Rev 1) (NESXZ0P.066 + NESXZ1C.066)
Roger Clemens' MVP Baseball (Rev 1) (NES6V1P.004 + NES6V1C.004)
Othello (Rev 1) (KWDOH0C.093 + KWDOH1P.093)
Romancia (Rev 1) (TKSG21P.172)
Radac Tailor-Made (Rev 1) (TKSB01P.285)

Example of Proper Dump
Athena (SFXAT0P.133)

The archive contain only NA and JAP master rom images.

300 is more games that I've probably beaten in a lifetime =)

WiiHomebrew+Snes · Jul 25, 2020

Yeah, pretty fucking amazing they could find this. If they ever find mother 64 or some shit then I'm gonna eat a hat.

Well bypassing the limit isn't something everyone will have an interest in, but given the countless threads asking about it here on gbatemp over the years, I think it's fair to say that I'm far from alone in wanting the limit to be removed or at least increased.

Bladexdsl · Jul 25, 2020

is that rayman in the video?

Clydefrosch · Jul 25, 2020

so, will we finally see good links awakening romhacks with this?

I use a flashcart that is always inside the slot with forwarders to the home screen, but I think TWiLight Menu++ has at least decent compatability of you want to run them from the SD card, although I've never tried it myself

Harsky · Jul 25, 2020

Seems like only yesterday that I would read articles about Super Mario World beta based on one or two screenshots and maybe from examining the rom itself for undeleted sprites.

With more to go, I can't wait to see the N64 betas.
