Calling All NES Hackers!

If I remember correctly, I'm sure there's a member from the FF7 PC hacking site qhimm who was looking into recreating the FF7 Nes engine. Not sure if they're still working on it though.
Anyways, reworking the battles on this game would just top it off for me

 

Same project. halkun's contribution can be seen in that thread, though he hasn't logged in there in nearly a year, so he may have dropped out of it.

 

quite amazing there. damn hacking can be fun. just want to cheer the hackers on whoever they may be! Respect!

 

So a whole bunch of "ideas guys" want a coder to do all the hard work for them?

I'm fluent in C++, Java, ASM, VHDL. No, I will not do your hard work for you while you make sprites.

 

I wouldn't exactly call them "ideas guys". A lot more work has been put in than just replacing sprites.

Also, I think most of the work so far was done mainly by one person, if I'm correct?

 

What exactly is wrong with the fighting engine? And it seems to me if they had planned to just hack the Chinese rom to such an extent, why didn't they just make a new one from scratch? Hell, use all those sprites you just made and put them into something like RPG maker instead of intentionally limiting the audience and screwing around with "dirty" code that barely manages to work as is on real hardware.

 

So...why did you even post then?

 

Professional sprite artists around the world would slap you.

 

Sprite comics are the height of the web comic artform! (LOL not serious)

 

"Professional sprite artists". As in, the people who professionally, as their job, for money, make the original sprites in games.

 

I didn't know that Lugia2009 also started to work on Lei Dian Huang: Bi Ka Qiu Chuan Shuo ( the nes pokemon yellow)

I was looking for some progress on this game, but now I found it ^^

Just jumped into the project after reading this hmmmm....

Terribly programmed game by a chinese company, but most notibly cool for a PS1 game (let alone FF7) to try and go back to its sprite roots.

6502 assembly looks very interesting to learn and their are so many guides on how disassemble and write functions (even S/NES documention) for the language. The documentation is well supplied.

Seems like a cool summer project.

 

I thought the last one died out when South America split off from Africagames went 3D. Then I saw the "Too many authors" webcomic and realized that they just evolved into birdswebcomic authors. These dang upstart mammels3D artists are going and being interesting, though.

 

Pokemon?

 

LOL. Yeah, until a few years ago they were still using stuff that looked like it came from a NES/SNES/Gameboy? Screenshots of Black/White look like they're at least 'pre-rendered' like in the old Donkey Kong Country games.

 

They're still pixel sprites, they're just now split into different sections for movement. 649 pokemon as of B/W (which came out in the US last year), all needing at least one unique sprite... some of which have alternate sprites depending on their gender or other special situations. Also did I mention they need both front-view and back-view sprites? And yes, the alternate forms as well need a back-view sprite.

And that's not counting all the other games released recently using any sort of pixel/sprite graphics, such as the variety of puzzle game, and classic RPG-style games such as this.

If you think there's no longer any sprite art going on, you need to open your damn eyes.

 

Well you took the funny out of my comment. And yes, it's like a modern-day dinosaur.
