Thanks for the reply! This is just my opinion, but I think it's a bit redundant to save all that data. It's your project though, so do as you wish! I believe that the most important things to save would be: What world you are on? Did you beat the mid-boss? If so, remove the lock and enable access vi...

The "Real time slow-motion" thing was supposed to be a nod to those blurbs that were on some NES boxes. Granted most BS blurbs started to become less common with the NES and they were common for 2nd gen games. But I still have a different way for how "bullet time" could be execut...

I don't see how slowdown could possibly exist in a puzzle game, or what purpose it would serve. As for MM9, of course they're going to reference the two most glaring weaknesses of the NES Mega Man games. They're flicker heavy (due to how the graphics are designed) and slowdown prone (due to the grap...

Alright, so I learned today that the SNES' is technically just a bit inferior overall than the Genesis due to data cycles and stuff I forgot about, but a large portion of the slowdown stemmed more from the lack of good know-how as compared to the Genesis; you could argue that the 65816 was a no-name...

The SNES comment was simply a joke on how the SNES has many games with intense slowdown, almost to the point where every other game that's not an RPG suffers from it. Especially insulting since the SNES is a much stronger console, but the NES has some games that would probably slow down a lot if the...

I'm so glad that my topic seems to have garnered many replies! As for the Kunio Kun game Koitsu mentioned, the abhorrent slowdown this game suffers is the main reason why I will never play the game. It looks cool and has some neat features, but the slowdown, oh my god. Thank you all, regardless, for...

Speaking of framerates, modern games seem to have the ability to reduce their framerate when there's too much to process. Would it be possible to make an NES game run at, say 30FPS when there's too much to process, instead of simply slowing down? This will give the illusion that the game is moving f...

It's considered bad practice to optimize code prematurely Thank you for your response. I always had a theory where, if I ever hired an NES development team, I'd require them to make the game work first, and then optimize the game code as much as possible. Forgot to mention, since Contra Force was e...

I apologize if this is the wrong section, or if this question shouldn't be asked at all. The NES biggest and most well known flaw was flicker, but another flaw that was somewhat persistent was slowdown. Slowdown seems to vary on a case by case scenario, and it appears you can't always pin the fault ...

Thank you for your hard work, this hack will be well appreciated. I haven't played All-Stars or Mario Advance 4 that much to remember how they worked, but does this hack, so to speak, "replicate" their save system?

Good effort, such a shame that this will only ever amount to a video. Such a shame that no one will ever learn how to efficiently make VRC6 music and ROMhack MM1 to use VRC6.

This amazing, and like others said, I like track 5 the most! Are these all original compositions, or are some covers, as is the case with track 4 (apparently)? God bless those Chinese pirates for making the Dendy, and in turn being responsible for inspiring the Russians to become among the best NES ...

I'm not musically (or anything really) inclined, so I guess you're right. If those sounds that rapidly switch from a series of notes are tremolos, then what would an effect similar to this be?

Unless I'm mistaken, these games seem to do it.

Kid Icarus
Bubble Bobble Part 2
Final Fantasy III (NES)
Bad Dudes (though this is really rapid duty cycle swapping and not an actual arpeggio)

Hey Hally, I've noticed that you're using 2ch's quoting system with the > arrows. Here in the USA, specifically on 4chan, it's referred to as >greentexting . I always thought it was called Usenet quoting . http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4879/jokeq.png I am well aware that 2ch uses a relatively ...
