Discovery in "Metroid"

If you think that's an April fools joke, then notice that I wrote it on March 31st. And I would have written it much earlier if my one week ban would have really been just one week.

I tried it myself and you get her in her underwear, you get a quick flash of what could be considered nipple as she changes from armor to underwear but no full nudity.

Then you have been too slow. I said I went through Tourian in record time. Try again.

I don't think so but one of you could make a cheat code to kill the timer ad I'll try again.

You know Jonh John, sorry for the insult, but the best jokes are the shortest. Everyone knowns you're lying but yet you insist 3 times to justify that you were saying the truth. It really does ruin the joke.

By the way this is a bad one as well : http://www.caitsith2.com/gsf/

...except his post is from the afternoon of the 31st. Premature? Who knows. I'm still uploading the video so that someone can decide what to do with him. ;-)

EDIT: And it's finished. Please note that the audio frequency adjusting/speeding up/slowing down isn't an encoding bug -- I recorded the video in VirtualDub without compression during the capture phase (24GB!) and no audio rate conversion was done during the compression (e.g. it was recorded at 22kHz 16-bit mono), so it's some sort of weird bug with VirtualDub and/or Nestopia fighting over who has timer or thread priority. Don't care to deal with it. No OCD plz.

Another thing to note is the cheat code I add to Nestopia. The RAM addresses are what define how much energy you have. $0106 bits 7-4 = energy digit singles place, $0107 bits 3-0 = energy digit tens place. All this does is allow me to have infinite energy.

Now back to adding H/W monitoring support to some BSD software I maintain...

Admins can feel free to do what they want with this guy.

That was fun to watch. Thanks koitsu.

FINAL WARNING: JohnJohn, you've had your fun, and I'll overlook this topic in the spirit of AFD. But you're getting to the end of my not biting. I'm going through your posting history and deleting the porn. Post more porn and you're banned for a year.

This reminds me of Smurfs: Rescue At Garagamel's Castle for the Colecovision, where Smurfette "flashes" you if you walk off-screen to the left. Not really, but I think it was from the graphic being a sprite overlaying the background, and the sprite gets cleared while the background is still up.

Well, her hair is red, so...

How does it matter her hair is red ?

It seems from more recent pics they changed it to blond later. Altough hair-color swap was common back in the NES days, even in my game the heroine is blonde but her sprites have dithered red/skin color cause if I did sprite overlay to make her blond it would end up flickering too much (altough I might change my mind just before the release of the game, I'll have to try both ways).

The most crazy is in the PS2 game Atelier Iris : Eternal Mana (one of my all time favourites). The hero has dark brown hair in the CG intro, light brown hair on the pictures, red hair on in-game close-ups of him and blond hair on his in-game sprites.

Those aren't red boobs, the red spots (actually purple, but that's because of the three-colores-per-sprite limitation) are probably the nipples.

O.k., how would you have drawn a nude Samus Aran based on the original bikini image? (You can send me a PM if you don't want to post the pic here.)

I already told you: It wasn't an April Fool's joke. I planned to post it even earlier, but you didn't lift my ban in time.
By the way, I guess you are American, right? I assume that because you don't know the difference between nudity and porn.

You say that like you want this to be your third strike.

Porn is nudity that lacks serious artistic value. I don't want nesdev.com to become "that place you go to get Rule 34 pics of classic video game characters." (Oh wait, I think I just spilled the beans.)

But I just want to make it clear that other members of this forum have indicated that they did not appreciate the page lengthening post consisting of a repeated misspelled name of a male genital, a C++ program to reproduce it, and two "huh huh, you said $dirtyword" posts. These did lack serious artistic value.

Wrong:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography wrote:Pornography or porn is the portrayal of explicit sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual excitement and erotic satisfaction.

According to your logic, a picture of a clothed person on a nude beach with a random nude person in the background would be porn since the background part contains nudity, but has no artistic value.

But you know what is funny? The fact that people here actually tried it out and made videos to disprove me. As if there was actually a chance that I found a hidden feature in a famous 24 year old game that no-one else ever found out before.
