Man I heard once you mod an xbox to be an emulating machine, it won't be able to play XBox games anymore. Is that true?

I don't download ROMS since I already have all of the ROMS I would ever need. About 600 NES, and most if not all of the popular SNES games, are in my possesion. I know it is wrong, but I do not care.

No it plays Xbox games just fine. Played Ninja Gaiden on my xbox just yesterday.

er, what is "BS Zelda"

The 16-Bit SNES Zelda remake for the japanese SNES called the Super Famicom which was only available through the Bandai Sateliview service. The ROM image was dumped and hacked so it can be played quite nicely on a emulator like ZSNES.

Yes, ZSNES is a good program. I've started downloading SNES Roms, mainly because most of those games you can't get anymore. And if you can, there may be flaws... (Like a dead internal battery...) The roms alliviate this problem. It sucks playing with a keyboard, though...

If your batteries are dead, in the SNES games i've opened they all use a battery holder with a very common lithium battery. All you have to do is remove it from the holder and replace it with a new one of the same type. Remember to put it back in with the right polarity though. 😉

It's easier to play off the computer. But thanks for the advice.

Somehow I can fight on the keyboard in a fighting game. I dunno how though o_o.

Star Ocean the original game is copyrighted in Japan, and the US supposively respects their copyrights. So no you can't get the rom here, however if you have the japanese rom already there is a site like www.dejap.com that has a translation patch.

I got it, and a patch, horray for my schools T1, I DLed 8mb in like 10 minutes😃😃😃😃😃
Does anyone know where I can get a patching program?

Zophar's Domain. I don't know if any one in particular is better than the others.

If you use ZSNES, though, it has a built-in patcher. I think you just need to give both files the same name.

Get SNESTool for patching. Or if using ZSNES or SNES9X rename your ips patch to the same name as your rom i.e. if you have Star Ocean (J).zip rename your ips file Star Ocean (J).ips and place it in the same folder as the rom and load with snes9x or zsnes. It should auto patch on loading. If not, try the folder where your SRAM files are saved to for the ips files.

I found a really nice rom download site, and grabbed a rom titled "rpg maker II" ...Anyone have any idea what this is? I can't check it out till I'm ungrounded, but it sounds like an awesome concept. Its fully translated, too. 😊

RPG maker isn't a rom it's an actual program that let's you create your own RPG's.

Only thing is you got to be dedicated to making a RPG cause that takes loads of time.

Ah, I'm not that much of an idiot. I know what RPG maker is. The thing is, this is an actual ROM titled RPG maker, I grabbed I and II. Ima check it out a lil more, but it won't play now.
Ah, and I started star ocean. this is fucking great. this is orgasmic. the translation is relatively well done.
This gameplay is awesome. I see myself buying this game as soon.. as... I.. can... the PS1 one, anyhow.
EDIT : I got it running... Its kinda sweet. I'd really rather work with something like RPG maker... speaking of which, can someone direct me to this? I've always had an interest, but my computer could never handle it... thinking about it now, I think this one easily could. 😊

Ah, I meant the RPG maker 2000, or whatever the windows software thingus is. Not the rom.

I was about to point that out. RPG Maker is for Playstation, while RPG Maker 2 is for PS2. (I should know, I own the first one.)

He can ask for links to where it can be sold or imported. He didn't really specify, so he's fine.

I thought I saw an RPG Maker game for the PS at this video game store by me which has a lot of used/imported stuff. Or maybe it was a PC version. I can't remember :shrug:

Hm... I could have sworn it was something for PC. Z3r0x7 used to use it, but maybe it was a port, or something. I'll look it up when I overcome this laziness... And I have seen RPG maker for PS1, my cuz had it, and he claimed it was terrible, inputting all information on a dpad... I had enough trouble putting in my golden sun transfer password, I'd get really irritated putting in an entire game on a Dpad.

EDIT: This might be what I'm talking about.
I don't have time now to read more into it... accursed bell.

Shouldn't matter, as RPGM2K, RPGM2K3 and RPGMXP are all still products that are supposed to be paid for. Downloading them is illegal. And, might I add, takes... oh, ~3 hours on a 56k modem.

I think that IS what you're looking for, but, as I said, downloading them is illegal, so you may want to edit that out. I'm not 100% sure, but it's probably not really worth taking a chance over.

OK, well then, let me rephrase - I'd love some more information, as I've never heard of it costing money before. I wouldn't like anyone to give me illegal links... I think I can do that myself. -_-'

it's illegal but its not like anyone gets caught with having that program.

You're right. I saw the first one being sold at Game Crazy. I also own it, and that is proof enough. I also saw a stategy guide for the PS2 version being sold also. (I looked through it, and it shows you how to execute the most difficult events in RPG Maker, not only a tutorial on how to create your characters.)

The PC Versions, however, were never released in the states. Some guy hacked and translated them for our use.

Does anyone know any NES emulator that can play the japanese version of super mario 2 aka the lost levels?

Daywalker

I can't say for sure without the rom, but between rockNES and nesticle, I've never had a problem with anything... the jap release of fire emblem loads up on rockNES.

i'm a little late on this, but:

they made an RPG maker game for PS. it wasn't too good. too kto long to make, etc. whereas they never released the Pc version in the US, a few guys translated it and were distrubting it, but then got shut down. so your best bet is to hold out for the people to bring over a fully translate PC version(or to find someone who has the illegal version)
