Frankly I Really Shouldn't Tell People Oceans Smell Tasty

Yes! They are finally coming out!

This is going to be a very sweet collection. Yes, I know you can play them already with the emulator, but there's just something having them all on seperate roms that, just cool.

 

depending on the price of the games, if they're good enough I may buy a few, my gba hasn't been used in a while

 

ok so will this work on my flashcard and save or can it be trimmed down alot or no?

 

yes they will work.
size can be stripped alot, super mario goes from 32mb to 25mb and xevious from 32mb to 1.50mb (!)
save shoudl work fine but i remember one of them has eepromv124 so i guess youll need the gbatemp patcher.

just tried out all three and it was quite fun. but as i own a gp32 i will play nes there, screen is bigger and i have 2x 128mb space lol...

but anyway can someone tell me what to in the menu of the games (l+r) to save the game, i cant speak jap.

 

Bugger...*regrets fiddling about with the L+R menu*.

L+R Menu
Continue
Reset
Link (I think...i.e. send the game to another GBA like in Pocket NES)
Save (?) (Something to do with saves - Read bottom of post).
Sleep (L+R+Select to restore)


Oh and why don't these games truncate down very well...I'm suprised Nintendo used 32mb carts in the first place but well look at it like this - Super Mario Bros on the NES was 40kb, this version truncates down to 3.16MB, bah. No there isn't any extra games or levels or anything, just that stupid save deleting L+R menu.
Anyway Super Mario Bros truncates to 3.16MB, Ice Climbers truncates down to 3.14MB and Xevious down to 1MB. Ugh... I'll be sticking with Pocket NES.



p.s About saves... Although the games didn't have battery backup to being with, there is some weird option something to do with saves. Press it and it'll delete all your saves in your first bank (Ugh... bye bye my Metroid Zero Mission save along with all my other saves on Pogoshell in the first bank, *cries* ), however if you patch it with the EEPROM v124 patcher (other EEPROM v124 games work fine on my cart...) and press the button, a save file will be made...as to what use it actually has though I don't know yet; from experimenting it doesn't look like it's some sort of save slate mode and reloading the game gives no option to use this game...Hmm.

 

That was nice.

 

I don't know where you live but here in the US, you can't find an E-Reader for your life.

 

I thought Nintendo would use a cool scaling method on this series of games, or atleast make the sprites unscaled, but they don't. It's just like PocketNES's scaling mode. Mario's head is all squished and it looks like crap. Big Mario's face is caved in and little Mario seems to have no neck! What a waste.

 

nobody actually knows.... maybe forgotten will add support for this stuff in further releases

 

Please help. When I put all 3 games into my F2A, my F2A loader screen gets messed up. I get Ice Climber 4 Times (01-04) Super Mario Bros 4 Time (05-08) and Xevious only once. so that makes 9 blocks of data on my list. pleas help me on this ASAP. Oh and just to be SURE the shrunken mario head thing is a defect in the game bieng emulated from NES to GBASP right? Or have I gone crazy?
