| I love that game. I was about to make fun you for making a title that was the same as the new Gunstar Heroes game that is coming out on the gba. Oh, hell. I'll make fun of you anyway. I'm in a magnamonous mood tonight. Gunstar Super Heroes | |||

That takes the fun out of it 
For the record, Heran, I've always respected your work. You're one of the only very active Genesis and GBA hackers out there, let alone that you specialize in audio. I tip my hat to you, sir. |

| What's with all these ragnarok online-ish asian MMORPG's? Flyff is another one of those, only you can learn to fly in it. Not much else to say about it, really.
I'd say it's (almost) in the same genre as R.O.S.E. Online. Both games are in 3D. The skills in flyff are ok. You have to level your skills up (by the amount that you use them). I think that ROSE and flyff both use an item degradation system where items will become useless when they wear down too much (decomposition, I guess). There's a ton of quests in this game, and I find that playing the quests makes the game more interesting rather than just mindless enemy bashing for hours on end. Probably without the quests and the flying (and aerial battles!) flyff wouldn't be all that great to play. Hopefully that changes. EDIT: Ok, I think I may have just had more good news. It appears that the game may always be entirely free (no fees). It will have a shop where you spend actual money on in game stuff. Even better, there may be no character wipe in December when flyff goes live. (edited by Bit-Blade on 11-20-05 07:19 AM) |

| I'd advise switching to fish sticks. It's much safer (assuming you aren't allergic to fish, of course). | |||

| You need to be able to entice people. We are superficial creatures. If we are shown a small peice of something that is very impressive, then you are much less likely to get any scornful responses, and even better than that, people will be more willing to lend a hand. Therefore my advice to you is to work on a small part of a hack and spend as much time getting it perfect as you can. Rely on the old graphics trick of borrowing graphics from other games and modifying them to suit your needs if you have to. It's something many of us have done, and it helps you learn pixel art in the process. If you do a good enough job with that sort of mini-hack thing, you should be able to get some reliable help. You just have to make it seem like it's worth their while, you know? | |||

| To be honest I was wasting my time with other stuff. I think I may have been out with my friends that day.
You guys amaze me sometimes. I don't really mean this to be offensive but... don't you have anything better to do with your time than "frantically press the refresh button" just to register at a message board as fast as you could? Seriously, it wouldn't be the end of the world if you guys played videogames, hung out with friends, went somewhere, etc while the board was down and eventually check up on it until it works again. Who gives a rats ass about user ID? I would have been happiest with 1337 (or something else that was amusing). I'd love to actually have one thousand three hundred thirty seven as a user number ID thingy for something. I'd laugh so hard. |

Caramello 'till the day I die! Those things are so good. Caramel is awesome. EDIT: Whoah... definitely didn't mean for that thing to be so freaking huge. This should do the job. Now i want that shirt  (edited by Bit-Blade on 11-22-05 09:13 PM) |

| In short, Zophar's Message Domain and acmlms reputation there before he suddenly dissapeared and made his own board.
Someone would have to be a real idiot to be a dendriphiliac. Can we say 'splinters'? |

| I've been through similiarly shitty times. A lot of my great aunts and uncles are getting sick with cancer or just plain old age. Hell, my grandparents are still around, and they're 80. I don't like to think about it, but I know they can't have much longer. On top of this, others have been dying around me as well. | |||

| Allright. I'm a simple man. I like my anime from time to time. MKV files are quite a bitch. Apparently I need to install this vorbis filter/plugin/whathaver just to get the adio working.
Let me disclaim right now that I pretty much know jack shit in regards to programming (although I do have Vistual Studio 6). The only thing I have to work with is the source. I've never had to compile a program that had more than a single cpp to it so... I'm really out of my league. The fact that the how-to-compile document that came with it is definitely not geared to people that have no bloody clue what they're doing doesn't help me either. Ideally, this is a request for anyone who's willing to compile the damn thing for me and send me the exe. I doubt very many of you either know who I am or really give a flying fuck about my wanting to watch ranma so... I'd also settle for a one on one tutorial sort of thing if anyone would be willing. Here is the How To Compile document that came with the source code. (edited by Bit-Blade on 11-26-05 08:51 AM) |

| Close this piece of crap. I found the damn thing with the google querry "download executable guliverkli". one of the first 10 results was a page that linked to the affected Guliverkli-vized version of mediaplayer classic. Here's the coup de grace. The link was to source forge. Let no man say that this day I have not proven myself a fool. A happy fool that can watch his ranma.

| Before anyone reems in on me for making another topic about this, let me disclaim right now that isn't isn't some kind of alarm call to action. These are just my views on the rom hacking community as a whole and what I personally think of it's decline. Take them or leave them as you will. This thread is more intended to lead to a discussion of the issue rather than an argument.
First, you have to think about the romhacking generation. Most of us grew up playing Super NES, NES, and Sega Genesis games. For most of us this is one very big reason why we hack- to extend our love of this style of gaming and give it new life. At an even baser level romhacking is just another exp See, what I'm getting at is that more and more today, kids aren't going to be able to readilly apreciate NES and SNES games unless their parents inspire them to. They're the ones growing up with childhood memories of the Nintendo 64, the Playstation, the Saturn and beyond that in some cases. They don't have the background to apreciate rom hacking like most of us do (and by this I mean that because we predominantly hack NES and SNES games, the old 2D styles. We know all about that). I think that this younger generation is more than likely much less accepting of this aged styled of gaming. There are many other contributing factors to the present state of romhacking, and quite honestly I don't know if there's a damn thing we can do to stop it. One such factor could be interest. I beleive that the general interest in romhacking has been dropping by degrees over the years. Perhaps only recently has it become so severe that we are now taking notice of it. The old rom hacking groups that used to be around have all but imploded. Even some of the most titanic web sites in emulation and rom hacking have taken a turn for the worse. We've lost quite a lot that made rom hacking what it used to be. Now, I'm not saying that romhacking is all together dead. This is more like a slump- a complicated slump that has many, many contributing factors, probably more than a few I haven't even considered yet. I think perhaps this is just the way it goes. We aren't necesarilly helpless to stop it but I don't know is enough of us care enough. Personally I think it's going to take me quite a while to stop entirely, and I may never stop. I really love this hobby, and I know there are many of you that feel the same. Still... that's the situation as I see it. Others may have things that are perhaps a bit more insightful to add. |

| Omega, your ideas are a bit more expanded than mine, but generally speaking we're in the same ball park.
And no, the scene doesn't need to be big to be good. Bigger isn't always better. Be that as it may, it sure as hell would help. Once romhacking regains it's equilibrium when iconic emulation or rom hacking sites take up the slack that Zophar's and others have left, things should pick up. Luckilly these will be run smoothly enough to cause us little concern. Why do I care or bother to post shit like this, you wonder? Call it love. I don't like to see this hobby or this community suffer anymore than I enjoyed seeing TEK tear itself to pieces. I'd rather it be prosperous and positively booming with acitivy and prospective talent. Apathy would be a VERY bad thing for rom hacking right now. |

| ...Alice, POW! To the moon! (had you for a second o.-. I couldn't resist stuffing that reference in here with an opening like that)
... my body is just going to get fed up and start beating the crap out of me for never going to bed when I should and need sleep. How many of you don't do what you know is good for you? For me it's sleep. For anyone else it could be... apples. Or never drinking just pure water as a beverage. I actually have quite a few of these little annoyance, but at the moment the worst is consistent sleep. I do this lack of sleep thing all the time and end up having one of the most erratic sleeping patterns I've ever seen. You could say I've had a rather cushy life style for the last year or so. There have been times where I'd get tired around, say... 8pm, intend to fall asleep as if I were going to bed, wake up at 12am or even 1am, be unable to sleep for a long ass time, and eventually go to sleep again around 8am and wake up at 4pm. Or soemthing smiliarly wacky. If you are particularly self indulgent about your sleeping habits, shaking out of this kind of terrible sleeping schedule is rather hellish. So yeah. I'd say before long my prediction might bear some fruit. Anyway, this isn't at all to say I'm asking for help on how to fix it. That's really just an amount of effort. Hell, I should be ashamed that I let myself get away with so much. So it goes. |

| Let's not totally alienate the non NES/SNES generation here XD. I don't think they're incapable of apreciating 2d games (especially if their parents raised them right o.-). I even suspect that there has to be at least a few people in scene that are young enough not to necesarilly have grown up around them. Ha... I'm rather amused by the thought that when I have kids I could steer them in the right direction. My NES will probably still work by then.
KT, you should try explaining yourself a little better, if you don't mind. Before I start criticising and condemning you for a point a view you don't necesarilly have. Don't spout off general sayings like that without explaining yourself. I just took at look at Data Crystal. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone took up the slack XD. Damn glad to see it happen. Xcom, these sly dogs took the idea of a romhacking wiki right under your nose. Rather than resenting that you might consider talking to the head man there and see what he has to say. Unity is better than desparity, in this case. We might all consider contributing to that wiki. Also, with luck, xcom, you may not even need to do anything more drastic than maintaining WikiRAM. |

| KT, your post was so obscure I wasn't SURE what your opinion was. There were way too many ways to misunderstand it. I was trying to be thoughtful. That's all I meant. Let's not turn this into something any more unecesary than it already is. And thanks for obliging me, by the way. That post was much more englightening and I don't really have a problem with it.
Hearing you say 'fancy graphics' makes me feel like we ARE getting old and jaded. Like old men sitting around complaining about fancy schancy technology and how in THEIR day they did all of that themselves, nevermind the covenience of getting pretty much any kind of informatio you could possibly want from the internet, they did without and therefore so could all the young pups they don't understand. |

| That, and when Data Crystal approached xcom, noting they had similiar ideas, he refused to help them or add to them. BOTH of you would profit much more from helping eachother rather than taking this as some kind of idiotic rivalry. If you can't see past that, xcom, you have no place running WikiRAM.
I'll put it this way. Look at how much time TEK and DES spent fighting. Do you even think for one second that any of that was constructive? That it helped contribute something to anything? |

| I ran across the same problem with yy-chr. I eventually had to come to the conclusion that either yy-chr must be inherant corrupt or yy is hosting infected files on his server and doesn't even know it. As long as I've been using YY-CHR, these virii have not stopped me from using it or made any dsicernible dent on my computer usage. |
