NDS #0001 - Metroid.Prime.First.Hunt-DF

[Foppzter]

Looks like Super Mario 64 was just dumped. Only 8.79 MB though.
Was´nt Super Mario 64 DS dumped some weeks ago, with the same size?

QUOTEThere is one called DSEmuÂ

DSEmu have been out for how long? Much longer then any dumped roms for the DS...
The people making emu´s need roms to try their works, thereby we have no mu´s for say PS3 yet.
Does anybody remember when the first GBA roms was dumped? No emu existed and people was asking the exactly same questions...

 

[TheRocK]

why is this labeled as a number... it is a demo and demos would be without a number.

 

[THeLL]

no emu is available, understand this. this is the first rom, so the first emu will be out at least in few weeks, but it could take months. BTW read the older posts before asking questions.

There is one called DSEmu

Yeah but it sucks

I guess it have a number until some more are official dumped.
Or the new list for DS-games will have numbers for demos. I myself would love to see numbers on official demos

1584 - Hikaru no Go Taikenban (J) demo for gba.does it ring any bells?

 

[Foppzter]

btw. How can u be sure that nds roms are for real? and that they aren't just a joke?...

Until we have a working DS emu, we can´t be truly sure...
But the scene seems to trust this one, so I guess it´s a real one, unlike the Sonic DS Beta-file

 

[ReyVGM]

I can't wait for a DS emu, so that I can use my mouse as a stylus!!

 

[accolon]

Yeah, i think that's bizarre. I can't imagine a game like Super Mario 64 DS being smaller than a 128mbit roms. it's 9MB when unzipped.

AFAIK the Mario 64 DS ROM floating around the web is fake.

The only "real" DS ROM at the moment seems to be the First Hunt ROM dumped by DarkFader, who is a respected member of the GBAdev forums and seems to know what he is doing.

About the size:
Mario 64 on the N64 was 8 MB in size, so where is the problem? I don't think that the DS version has to be much larger than 64 MBit either.

well from what I know, metroid prime was around 9 MB, what you say is true but you really must keep in mind that it's just a DEMO compared to mario is is (or at least was) supposed to be the complete version and is less that metroid.

 

[JesterDev]

Just got off work and came here first thing. Glad I did.

Congrats on the rom!

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[el_venga]

first hunt is 16MB wich is 128 Mb. the so called mario ds rom is 8.79 and its not a true rom cause as said before there is no "mario" word there, unlike first hunt wich has lots of recognized words like NINTENDOlogo1 and 2, the codename of the game, addresses to the files, etc.
i think its not fake at all, if it is fake, darkfader is the best developer out there for actuall makin a rom with lots of known words that should be in the rom.

 

[Foppzter]

One thing is sure.
IF the Metroid Prime First Hunt is a fake, it´s the best looking fake ever, and the maker have had to much free time doing it

 

[MonkeyHead79]

Dumped on Christmas Eve too. 'Tis a great Christmas present.

Perhaps, but getting an actual DS is an infinitely better Christmas present.

Look at me! I'm supporting Nintendo!

[pikachucrackpipe]

Yeah, i think that's bizarre. I can't imagine a game like Super Mario 64 DS being smaller than a 128mbit roms. it's 9MB when unzipped. Still i'm not complaining it means that the nds is capable of a lot more then what it currently is doing. It also makes it easier on people downloading or distributing roms when emulators start coming out.

the original SM64 was 8.3MB, so it's not bizarre at all

well, actually that's good news, because it means that the compression is at least as good as the one of N64 games (Conker was larger than most PSX plattformers and had full speech, but it was only 50MB...so there might be comparable DS games, and there'd still be enough room for FMVs)
