That's very interesting information koitsu. Since you obviously have the technical knowledge I'm seeking, I would like very much if you could take a look at the Rockman 4 Minus Infinity hack and tell me what's it's situation with it's font is. The game offers a language selection on the titlescreen ...

I have absolutely no knowledge of rom hacking myself. I am a sprite artist and 8-bit gaming enthusiast but the technical challenges are beyond me.

As well, I use a mac. PC based emulators are completely useless to me.

If you're able to do that though, please help me out.

Hello skilled hackers! I need a tiny bit of assistance. Recently I discovered the outstanding Rockman 4 Minus Infinity hack, easily the most impressive NES hack of all time. The least build even adds a language option to convert the entire script to English. Unfortunately, almost every line is broke...

yup.

tried an AA battery with the same setup.

red lead on the positive end of the battery and black lead on negative end. Get a reading of 1.35. If I put the probes the other way around, I get -1.35.

black probe is in com
red is in V ohm mA

so then negative tip, famicom ready?

nevermind, I guess it would only make sense to. So here are the results plugged into the wall with the multimeter adjusted as indicated, I put the black probe into the center of the barrel and the red probe on the outside part. Got a reading of 9.34. Then put the red probe into the center and the bl...

should it be plugged into the wall when I do this?

So should I have the adapter plugged into the wall and then test the two parts of the barrel plug - the inner part and the exterior using the DC meter (roughly at 5 o'clock on the multimeter just below 10A ?)

I have a digital multimeter, yes. heres the multimeter I own. http://25.media.tumblr.com/11a44dd4dbdb42970e949ec3794fc60d/tumblr_mhyzdgOZHw1rc7qlzo1_500.jpg How do I use it to determine polarity? What setting and where should I put the probes? Again, this has a barrel plug connector like a Famciom/S...

I have a small and compact DC 9v 1amp power supply that's from something or another but it does not list what polarity it is. It has a barrel plug which would fit a Famicom, Super Famicom or model 1 Genesis and I'd like to use it with one of those which I know needs a negative center barrel plug, th...

I've tried that. I can get the dpad fully working and the 1 button and the turbo and auto fire 1, but nothing with 2. Not normal 2, not turbo 2, not auto fire 2. It's a fancy 2600 controller the way it is right now.

the multimeter reads the trace, reads the button input as normal between the solder point of the wire for pin 7 and the actual button for pin 7. the fault isn't the rubber pad either - I switched the two pads and the one that was for button 2 is currently for button 1 and that works fine. Button 2 m...

I tried replacing the DE-9 cord with another one that I know works and that did the trick, mostly. Up works, 1 works and the turbo and auto for 1 works, but the 2 button and the slider for the 2 button still do not do anything! I can't figure out what's going on. the 2 button is the far right button...

While not quite NES related, I hope someone here can help me out nevertheless fix my very NES-looking Master System controller. Wanting a more NES-like dpad to enjoy my Master System games, I picked up a rare Honeybee Competition Pro controller from ebay. When it arrived, I noticed that only the dow...

here's my newest commission project. One mega-fan has called upon me to spur up everlasting love retro gamers have for all things Megaman while we all ask Capcom: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz4yklheC01qjjp1ko1_500.jpg To that end, I've decided to return to the abandoned Megaman Legends series...
