Just dumping some Persona 2: EP nonsense here until I find some real PSX BIOS documentation because the debug code floating around the internet is bogus, and I haven't done anything fun with IDA Pro lately

I'm pretty sure they work fine. The emulator is just not available in the Steam version of the game according to MainMemory. It should still work fine in the older, non-Steam version.

The GG games once decompressed are just ordinary GG ROMs, you can play them in any emulator, and you could probably replace them with different games in the 2004 PC version if you were so inclined.

One thing I was mistaken about yesterday was that the Steam version of the game did not have Japanese language options. It does - it's just that they're in a different place from the rest of the game.

The configuration tool lets you set the game's language. It didn't have Japanese so I thought it was disabled; it turns out that you can select Japanese -at the game's main menu-, not in the configuration tool.

Dammit, Sega.

Sorry for the double post, but I had to check this...

I just reinstalled this game, and while I haven't found this image yet... there's an -insane- amount of leftover stuff from Portal 1 + 2, Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and other Valve games. Even server / friends list stuff. And 360 / PS3 text and icons. It's completely damn crazy.

Triple post yay!

Space Channel 5 Part Two on the PC has lots of leftover textures from the Dreamcast version, and looks like some stuff from part one is still in there too. Hell there's even Xbox 360 files... this game has -tons- of dupe and unused files.

Also the port is kinda crappy.

Figured I post it here.

So in super monkey ball 1, the files for the background used in expert stages 41-50 seems to have unused textures for a model that would have appeared as a background statue decoration, but there is no apparent model. The background mentioned, uses statues that resembles monster...of some sort.
Anyway, this ones appears to be some sort of very muscular icarus, along with a creepy facial expression. Will post more details in the SMB thread when I research more

You can now access the hidden battle border exclusive to the Super Game Boy 2 battle mode in Bomberman Quest without having to spend a ton of money on all traditionally required accessories. All you need is a Game Boy Game Genie. Enjoy!

Someone on another forum claims they found a 2 player mode in RC ProAm for NES by pressing some buttons on the title screen. Can anyone look into this?

I can't, but I think a hex editor would be able to pull it off, or find the combination.

Fun fact: load up a SMTIV save that's gotten the DLC unlocks without an SD card, and you get to see some interesting things.

All the DLC skills are fully functional; their names are the only thing that wind up missing, replaced with ???.

None of the DLC demons but the Archangels - and Aeshma; more on this later, this is interesting - have sprites. Archangels and Aeshma have both sprites and menu art.

All the DLC demons exist in a placeholder form, including descriptions, fusion, skillsets, etc. HP and MP are set; resistances/weaknesses/immunities are null. Levels are set, all stats are at 7. Race is ??? in all cases.

DLC armor is all present in the form of ??? armor. Stats are intact, but not the elemental affinities; no resistances or immunities, and it gives you a Light weakness. Shares Samurai uniform models.

Now, here's the weird thing:

Aeshma is all there ingame. Its art is there, its stats are there, its skills are there, its race is there - everything is in place, even where - say - Oread (also just a recolor) clearly wasn't quite complete at the time the game went gold.

Which suggests to me that this might actually have started life as a normal ingame demon? I don't know; it's interesting. Although I'm not sure why they'd have even considered a shitty Asmodeus recolor with a bunch of unique skills to fuse onto other, better demons as something higher-priority for inclusion in the base game than, say, Ancient of Days/Sanato. Or, apparently, the archangels. (speaking of which, yes, you still need what's-his-face to fuse Aeshma, so they didn't literally just stick an unused ingame special fusion in Clipped Wings 2; they had to set up the new fusion recipe first)

I think this also rules out the possibility of a second wave of DLC for the game, given that it seems to be very reliant on the existing hooks. Though I guess they could patch it.

There is an RGB scren in Hexcite. This screen obviously will not load on any other Game Boy and will proceed to the first logo. One step closer to finishing this article. There are a few unused songs also as well as two SGB things. Most importantly, the test modes were not finished. Input does not respond when selecting a piece so you cant progress.

I like how you can tell they pushed it back because "Fall" is in a completely different style (and the box is big enough for "Summer" or "Spring")

E: Same thing with "your PC"

Looking at Metroid II. There is an additional feature worth noting. It is possible to increase your energy tanks by holding B and pressing left or decreasing them by pressing right.

Two other things. The routine that would enable functions was removed so the functions does nothing. Lastly, the game was meant to save the debug flag to the file as evidence of an unfinished routine which handles SRAM on account of clearing the file. Also added a Game Genie code just for kicks.

Also, I was just looking at Mickey Mouse V/Magic Wands because I loved this game as a kid and I remember when I went to the store and... yeah.

In both versions there are two test stages along with a STAGE0 intro.

Still need to add the prototype password system shown in the instruction manual.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it was an edit of the advertisement for the Dreamcast version. Gray Matter did the port of the Dreamcast version, which was a port of the PS1 version, and their name is also blatantly edited in. Speaking of the PS1 version, Black Cat still has a line that says to press L1, albeit unused for obvious reasons.
