It must be some stupid nerd thing to assume that when someone is talking about FF3 they mean FF3j. Most normal people when referring to the american SNES version would call it FF3, after the title it was given when it was released. Oh well, you can't win them all. |

Originally posted by Coby Yeah, the restore ROM function doesn't reload the ROM in the memory of Sapros. A stupid logic bug. That's been fixed now. |

Yeah, your best bet is to run things through WINE. If your computer isn't very good though, things might be a bit slow. | |||

Originally posted by Lenophis It's not confusion though. It's fact. Final Fantasy 6 was released in America as Final Fantasy 3. Therefore, it is acceptable to refer to it as that name. How you find that unacceptable is beyond me. Personally, I think I'll stick with the whole US numbering system. Mainly because it seems to annoy purists like yourself. Chibi Gatomon: My advice is to try downloading a new version of the game. There seems to be two different versions of the american release (Final Fantasy III (U) (V1.0) [!] + Final Fantasy III (U) (V1.1) [!] are the GoodSNES names), so work out which ROM you have, and download the other one. |

Originally posted by Vystrix Nexoth It's not being spiteful if you refer to the game under the official name given to it on release. It doesn't matter if it was incorrect, or not in sequence with the japanese versions, it is name of the american version regardless of whether you or some random people try to pretend otherwise. Nintendo have the game listed as Final Fantasy 3, and that is good enough for me. If that means that I'm immature in your eyes, so be it. |

Originally posted by Lenophis As much as you would like to, you cannot retroactively rename a game. Even Squaresoft or Nintendo couldn't do it. I don't even see Squaresoft coming out with a statement saying that the american SNES Final Fantasy 3 game should be referred to as Final Fantasy 6. If they did, they would get ridiculed. People should be free to call the game either Final Fantasy 3, or Final Fantasy 6, they shouldn't be chastised if they choose to call it by its actual release title. Or vice versa. |

You need to download it through ROMhacking.com's website to get the file. Ztnet don't allow direct linking to their files. | |||

The GUI design is not that bad at all. It's clear, and you are instantly able to figure out what does what. Complaining over the fact that it doesn't support 800x600 resolutions very well really is just nit-picking. Unfortunately, it's a sad fact of life that people find it easier to criticise than to praise. Just one piece of advice, before you start picking someone's program to shreds on a messageboard, think how you would like it if someone decided to rip apart something that you had put time and energy into. Then again, it does seem to be some kind of status symbol to do indulge in that kind of activity. Personally, I hope JCE reconsiders never releasing anything publically again, as the community does need people who release tools, editors, etc. There are very few people releasing tools nowadays, and losing yet another editor author is a blow to the community. |

On the topic of filesize though, it's been my experience though, that converting a site to XHTML can actually decrease the filesize of pages. I think I've seen a few articles where semi-complex sites like this one, once the site has been rewritten to the conform to the new standards, the filesize has actually went down. |

Originally posted by jman2050 You may enjoy criticism, but remember that not everybody does. Especially the overly harsh criticism displayed in this thread. Remember that ROM hacking is a hobby, nobody gets paid to create utilities or what not. 99% of ROM hacking tools are freeware. You can't expect utilities to brimming with super friendly GUIs with Clippy like things floating around asking whether you need any help, and wizards to make levels with one click. It's a case of be grateful with what there is, and if you don't like it, make your own. For me, the CT Editor Companion has a decent enough user interface. It doesn't hinder you in anyway, and is simple enough for a beginner to understand. Sure, there may be some extra whitespace but that doesn't make the whole GUI suck ass. To say that the GUI sucks because of that is an extreme over-reaction. |

DS9 was easily the best Trek series. It had a lot more emphasis on character development than any of the Treks, and it wasn't fly around in a spaceship, encounter x/y/z phenomenon, use x/y/z/wesley to escape phenomenon, every episode. | |||

Originally posted by Colleen Just because the majority of people think something to be true doesn't mean that it is true. Originally posted by LenophisOriginally posted by dan They didn't rename the game retroactively. They renamed it at the time of release of the SNES version of Final Fantasy 3. I think this argument could go on to the end of time really. So, I'll be the one to bow out. (Mostly because neither side is budging an inch, and repeating the same arguments over and over get tiring) |

Originally posted by DahrkDaiz JCE has released many utilities in the past. In my mind, he has done "more good" for the rom hacking community than the vast majority of members on this forum, including yourself. But I dunno, maybe I'm being weird in valuing people who work on and release editors. From recent posts on this forum, people need to chill out at utilities authors. Ranting and raving at them won't do anyone any good at all. (Hell, it may even make things worse) However that said, I can see the motive behind all this bashing of utilities. To make them better. Maybe more tact is called for in the future? |

I use Syn. It has a few quirks, but they can be remedied usually, and it's free. | |||

When I view all the bios in the memberlist, IE freezes, but actually does come to life when you leave it for a while. Personally, I think it's knuck's bio. The quicktime movie thing in his is what causes the freeze on my computer. (I know this, because it freezes, and after the freeze knuck's quicktime thing starts playing, so its the quicktime plugin taking forever to load) | |||

Meh, I presumed it to be a Quicktime thing as Firefox told me it needed the Quicktime plugin to play it. Sounds on webpages suck. It may just be the fact that there are so many different images from different webservers that it bogs down IE. Using a different browser would probably be the only solution in that case. There are more browsers out there than Firefox and IE. Edit- *dan reads Jizuko's post. Meh. (edited by dan on 02-05-05 04:25 PM) |

I don't know if anyone ever found this data before, but a while back, I found some of the enemy statistics data. Here's some of the data for the snake. The rest of the enemies data are roughly in the same area as the snakes data. Snake Text 7AC Start of Snake Data 2C5B0 Snake HP 2C5B3 Snake Picture 2C5B4 Snake Offense 2C5B7 (2 bytes) Snake Defense 2C5B9 Snake EXP 2C5CA Snake Attacks 2C5C0 (8 bytes ?) Snake CHR bank to load ? 2C5CF Snake Check Text 71953 |

Just one question about these, what client should I use to actually read them? I've tried Firefox with the Sage extension, Thunderbird, and RSSOwl. None of them could read the feeds. Thunderbird and RSSOwl could understand the General Chat's RSS feeds, but none of the other forums (or threads) actually worked, all bringing up parsing errors. So what client should I use? |

Strange, I redownloaded it, and it seems to be an entirely different RAR. The executable seems to be the same. I don't want to upload it, as it's not my source to give away. |
