Doom 2: France In Hell!

2012-11-06T18:21:00.002+01:00

Does anyone have any idea why the japanese Doom 2 strategy guide is called FRANCE IN HELL?.

Update: Found an explaination, it appears they fucked up at the printing/translation factory in Japan, the japanese characters for "The Dead" also happens to mean "France". It could also possibly mean Buddha in Hell hmmm.

Some crazy dude makes a 6h30min complete playthrough of Chips Challenge.

2012-11-01T21:16:00.000+01:00

Just randomly found this when searching around for old games to try on my 486. Never realized how goddamn long this game was back when we used to play it in school.

Much respect to TTDLX who did the playthrough, he must have the patience of a tibetan monk!.

Virus - Dr. Mario prototype dumped.

2012-10-26T21:44:00.000+02:00

"Virus is a prototype that eventually mutated into Dr. Mario.

It was found installed in an otherwise unremarkable PlayChoice-10 arcade cabinet in 2012, which was likely used to playtest new NES games at a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant at one point."

New Pac-Man port for Atari 2600 blows the original version out of the water.

2012-10-22T22:22:00.000+02:00

Original Version ---^

The new port ---^

As you can see it's totally different from the original, and how the original version should have been!.

"Dennis Debro sought to create an adaptation of Pac-Man more faithful than Atari's 1982 version for the VCS. Utilizing the same 4K memory limit as the original, Dennis' game is a feat of programming that finally brings Pac-Man to the Atari 2600 as it was intended."

Some interesting recent ventures in emulation on the Xbox 1.

2012-10-19T18:31:00.000+02:00

It's pretty fun to see that coders are still trying to push as much out of the Xbox as possible. The two latest projects from the last half year for the Xbox has been a port of the 3DO emulator 4DO and the Atari Jaguar emulator Virtual Jaguar.

Many of the old emulators for the Xbox are also being perfected, N64 emulation on the Xbox is still superior to N64 emulation on the Wii for example.

It's 2012 and the Playstation 2 is still alive.

2012-09-29T06:35:00.001+02:00

It's 2012 and the Playstation 2 is still being kept alive on life support by the release of two football games, it will be interesting to see if it will survive into 2013 thus beating the Neogeo.

It would be fun if Brazil started producing PS2 games so we could get some real games at the very end like other long lasting consoles got (come on Tectoy!).

Two SD adapters in the works, one for Psx and one for Dc!.

2012-09-09T12:00:00.000+02:00

Sometimes thing's come out almost at the same time, maybe it's cause fpgas and hardware has become much cheaper in recent years.

Dknute is working on a Dreamcast SD adapter that will be far superior to the halfassed chinese SD adapter from past year that played games choppily, so finally there will be a real replacement for the gd-drive. You can follow his progress here: http://dknute.livejournal.com/

And then the PSIO team is working on a SD adapter for the good ol' Psx that you can follow here: http://psio.com.au

Let's not forget that the russians made a adapter for the 3DO half a year ago:
http://3do-renovation.ru/3DO_IDE_adapter.htm

So now it's almost just the Sega Saturn left! (and PCFX,CD32,Fmtowns,PcEngine,JagCD,NGCD,Pippin,Megacd,Cdi)

The first tiny steps towards Nintendo 64DD emulation!.

2012-08-26T03:54:00.000+02:00

-->

Jrra has begun fiddling around with trying to add 64DD support to Mupen64Plus.

Currently F-Zero X boots but crashes at the disk insert screen, don't expect to see games running until the year 2074, not even all 64dd titles have been dumped for testing!.

Pier Solar hacked and dumped.

2012-08-15T19:28:00.000+02:00

Pier Solar has now been hacked and dumped to work in a special version of Mess. I will not post it here since i'm sure you guys can find it on your own, i'm more interested in who did it and how.

Through some google detective work we find a site created just some days ago called http://hackpiersolar.com/ it's already gone and www.archive.org doesn't have the page saved, but google cache has it!:

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahackpiersolar.com%2F%3Fpage_id%3D6&sugexp=chrome,mod&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

That's alot of text only to have it deleted some days later, but now we have a back story which is always fun for scene history.

Finally you can "enjoy" cd-i Mario & Zelda with keyboard support.

2012-08-12T20:44:00.000+02:00

dem0 has released a program called MAH BOI that adds keyboard support to the cd-i emu (yes the emu only has mouse support!).

Currently it only supports Hotel Mario and the Zelda games so now you don't have to suffer through those masterpieces with a mouse ;).

NBA Jam proto with swearing released by Nintendoplayer.

2012-08-06T21:39:00.003+02:00

"Truly, this has to be the most ridiculous “prototype” Nintendo Player has gone through yet. Nothing’s quite as surreal as hearing Kitzrow yell out, “Grabs his Johnson!” on the Super Nintendo as secret character, Bill Clinton, makes a frantic grab for the ball while letting out a series of digitized grunts."

Get that shit outta here!
