Try Galaxy 5000. You might like it.

I wish I knew why this music sounds so good to my ears. I never had an Atari 2600. I've been listening to it a lot. Maybe it is the creativity that I am appreciating? Anyway, it's good stuff. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! These are so cool!

edit:Are you familiar with Conquest of the Crystal Palace? I think there might be one or two good tracks from that game for this.

Thanks for sharing these, I really like them. Are you going to do more? Would you consider giving the treatment to any tunes from Wizards and Warriors 1-3?

Wizards and Warriors III is pretty big. A quick estimate puts the number of screens at 760. Solar Jetman is pretty large too. Both games have fairly sophisticated physics engines as well. Dwedit, am I understanding correctly that Zelda II could potentially have over 2000 screens worth of side view a...

These animations are pretty cool. I'm a little disappointed because I found out that the animation and music in that Bad Apple demo wasn't made just for the demo. It's still pretty cool and it's obviously an impressive feat.

There's also this . All of the demos linked to in this thread are awesome, but WOW! THIS demo is INCREDIBLY mind-blowing! My goodness! It was a immense shock to me when I loaded it up and experienced it in its entirety. I hope more people get a chance to see this. Oh, and http://img210.imageshack.u...

All-Stars runs in a 224-line mode, and the bottom row of cracked bricks is hidden. That might cause the trick not to work the same way. Whoa, are you sure? I could have sworn I used All-Stars to test emulators to see if they properly displayed all 239 lines. I may have to drag my SNES out of storag...

I really like it. I didn't play it when it was released, because too many other exciting things were happening in the world of video games. I wasn't too enthusiastic about the stage select format, either. Years later I had the chance to play and I was surprised at how much fun I was having. I also l...

Thanks for answering my questions. I am understanding this subject better now.
Just the idea of applying advanced raster effects to a commercial game is exciting.

Making palette changes mid-frame in your own programs is already hard enough, hacking them into a commercial game would be hell. This is true. However, consider how much time and effort people have already devoted to hacking and researching Final Fantasy. It must have been hell for at least some of...

Something like this?



I'm still researching how to do it.

I think in fact FF1 and FF2 uses two palettes for characters and two for weapons/effects (remember damage is shown in a caption box NOT sprites), and FF3 improved it to have weapons+effects+damage using one palette, leaving 3 for characters. So the best thing possible would be to hack FF1 to do it ...

That sounds good, considering the reason for having four distinct palettes.

Tried looking at what the palettes are currently used for? This is the response from that thread: ...the NES has only four object palettes and four background palettes; one foreground palette is needed for the weapons (and damage and the cursor), so with four characters you'd have to either have ev...
