Posted by Kattwah Those are the five steps (nice of you to summarize them for us  ), now we just need the 5 hints... I know that okibi put hints on the site addresses, but what hints did he give for step 1 and 2?
Edit: Maybe if we look at those (simplified) 5 steps and pair them with their corresponding hints, maybe this will make sense?  |

So, instead of "5 steps 5 hints" you're proposing "5 steps 5 methods"? |

Wouldn't it be easier to simply recreate the game with C++ from scratch, without referencing the ROM as a resource?
Edit: Not to be mean, but I guess there isn't a way to put it (that I can think of). The only reason I can think of for "converting the hex into C++" would be because the person (or people) programming the C++ aren't good enough with logic themselves to come up with better ways to do things (for instance, if you simply ported the ROM, you'd be porting the crappy coding method (as BMF as pointed out on more than one occasion) with it...  ). |

I would help (has C++ knowledge, but is still learning - has only had one class on it [I know the basics, but I haven't learned how to use GFX libraries yet, but it wouldn't be that difficult for me to figure out]), but I will only assist the parts required to be from scratch. I won't assist in the conversion as far as using the ROM as a resource.
Edit: I was actually planning on starting this sometime later in the year (before this thread even popped up), but I was going to start from scratch. |

Posted by Stifu Well, since I'm working on an OSX machine I think I got it covered for learning how to get C++ to work on OSX...also since I like to work with Linux and OSX and Linux are both Unix, I'm sure they aren't too different. Also, the advantage of having it work on a real console means nothing to mean since I'm one to have never done it and will never do it - a PS2 to USB controller converter does the trick perfect for me.
Edit: Besides, if we use OpenGL we can easily port to other architectures. |

Maybe we have to ask Okibi for Zelda Freak's e-mail address? |

I thought we already suggested the idea that Zeldafreak was where the triforce was located (or something like that)... |

Posted by KPhoenix Not to be anal, but I see no reason why anyone should try and limit the potential imagination that a person would be able to convey. Besides, from some things I've hypothesized (especially my latest idea for a hack I'm going to attempt), it would be 100% violated (SMW) from how it is known thus far...so the notion that making it a "computer pirate" is invalid, regardless it is still possible to "violate" the Mario Universe. |

Yeah, already proposed that actually...but perhaps my reasons for it being Zelda weren't the correct ones... |

Well, I'd have to say step 4 is the movie, because all that was about 3's and since the triforce is 3 pieces...
1) 2) play game 3) web hunt 4) watch movie 5) translate text I have no idea what would be for #1 though...partly because I don't understand step #1 - Drag said step 1 & 2 were like the same step. All I can think of is that step 1 is something like receiving something... |

Maybe the "how" is the movie that was mentioned a few posts ago (about the goddesses that created the lands and the triforce)? |

Give it a shot! That would be my best guess... *crosses fingers* |

ROFL... Is this thread going to turn into an "official" place to throw up fake Zelda Screens? |

I honestly don't know why they keep making these games. I used to like them, and call me ignorant if you wish, but I don't see a notable difference between the games as of late... If there is, please, educate me. |

Posted by Sgraff87Posted by Lordlazer I restate my case and add, who actually would care enough to re-buy a game they already beat, simply if it has "better" artwork? I know I wouldn't...heck I didn't even buy the alpha series...and that had more originality (until the sequels of the first alpha) than their latest concoctions (at least when compared between it and SFII)...
I hate to say it, but it seems many of the fighting genre are failing in providing inspirational gameplay and stick to "what works".  |

Hello all, unknown to many, I have come across the NES cartridge of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. I'm beginning a contest and the person who wins it will get the ROM image that I obtained from the cartridge. All you have to do is answer one question:
What is Yoshi's Island? In 'world 01' of Super Mario World it was called Yoshi's Island, but does the release of Super Mario World 2 contradict that? Is the whole Mario Universe a dream and all the games are simply one's perception of the Mario Universe? [/sarcasm] |

Posted by Xeogred Sorry, wrong. Look at the question again. 
Alright, I'll give a hint. Eggs come from? [/sarcasm] |

Posted by okibi As for me, I actually enjoyed the contest - although some of it seemed a tad too vague, leaving multiple answers and you only looking for one - but after the contest was over, at least for me, it would've been nice to know that it actually existed. Sure, suspence is fun (to a point), but I think many of us don't want to "waste" our time if it doesn't exist; no offense, but simply saying something like "I have the proto Zelda 3 ROM" isn't real convincing (I tried to show this with my mock-up of your contest with Mario earlier in this thread). Kario points out that most of us likely hadn't "wasted" any of our time due to assuming we'd spend it on surfing the 'net. For some of us, that may be the case, but at least for me (and I'd assume Drag due to his amount of participation) we did it in times that we wouldn't "surf"; at least for me, I took time out of my day instead of doing other things, not "surfing". Anyways, I'll likely end up playing the next contest, if there is one with the proto again... |
