Rom Discussion Thread

I downloaded Pokemon Fire Red, and beat it in 2 days. I need more to do. I need a phone that can play EXE conversions, so I can intsall a GameBoy rom and get Pokemon on my phone. I've heard it being done with certain Sprint phones...hmm...

I want someone to play Pokemon G/S. I have a Kadabra I want to evolve (I need to make up for a psychic). I guess I can dl the GBA emulator and play Leaf Green with you or something.

I have a question, can you play 2 player Secret of Mana on Zsnes via netplay?

If that game has 2 player, I believe so. I played a couple two player games on Zsnes with a friend in school.

i just downloaded Mario Tennis...it ****ing owns

 

[Biske]

Yeah, Mario Tennis was way awesome, I can't count how many times I beat my brother and nephew even when they teamed up against me, and they weren't bad players.

Hmm, I don't know if you could play 2 player netplay...worth a try. If so, SoM is prob my 4th fav game I've ever played, so if you ever need someone to test this out...

 

[Revelade]

Well, I got the Chill song from Limewire, so it's all good...

Anyway, Mario Tennis was awesome to play, but even better on the handheld. I love the theme music of it. Perhaps I'll make a short snip of it (NOT THE ENTIRE SONG).

I also loved WARIO WARE on the gba. It's so random, but once you play it too much, it is fairly easy.

Obviously, but both players must have the exact same ROM, exact same name of the ROM, and also the Save State must be in a different locaiton.

The thing I love about BGB is that the Code system works with both Game Genie and Gameshark. So I can catch all 150 in say Pokemon, just by typing different codes, and also getting master balls .

 

[Venice_native]

I was able to tweak some settings on my Mario Tennis rom to get fairly good quality. I would have liked it a bit better, but I can settle with that.

I love the title song of Mario Tennis GBC. One of the best GBC roms I ever played.

 

[Venice_native]

I was never too inclined to play GB crossovers of N64 games. I couldn't settle for the lack of graphics.

 

[ChrisH36]

You know what pissed me off? F-Zero X tweaking. When I had it running on the old Glide64 engine and P64 1.4. It always had black cars and the backgrounds were flashing black too. Then I played around with some settings and fixed that stuff, then I don't remember what I did to stop it.

 

[Venice_native]

I don't remember what I was searching for, but it was a ROM and this thread came up like second on a Google search.

Rouge Squadron is a bad rom as well, I tweaked it to its limit, and it doesn't run well enough to even know what is going on.

Majora's Mask on the other hand, is running beautifully.

 

[ChrisH36]

Zelda is much like Pefect Dark and Goldeneye. Your computer needs strong requirements and the game will run fine. Super Mario 64 was the first ROM that I had that worked properly, but using the Keyboard took some practice, also tossing Bowser isnt easy with it either.

Ogre Battle works fine too, except every once in a while, the backgrounds go black. But the battle goes fine and everything. One of the video drivers fixes that for sure.

 

[Venice_native]

Goldeneye wasn't too bad on an old school computer, with somthing around 16MB video. Zelda does run horrid on most computers I've played it on though. I havnen't tried Perfect Dark though, I supposed I'll download that next. I did download Super Mario 64, but I had to verify it with Goodroms which is a huge hassle, so I think I'll download a copy of it off a different site.

 

[ChrisH36]

IT works fine, I have used it on 1.4 with Glide64 and it was fine. Quest 64 on those specifications ****ed up the game if you used the default video drivers. Brian's hair goes all white, his colours are screwed up, and the texturing is messed. Also most attacks like Fire Ball and Wind Cutter get inverted colours. However, back then Glide64 fixed this. Now with 1.6, that problem is nuked completely.

I dunno bout Perfect Dark working, because I already have in on n64. I got Perfect Dark mode and most of the cheats, I just need to beat WAR! on Perfect Agent.

 

[Venice_native]

Glide64? I haven't ever tried that emulator, Project 64 works so well it is hard to think of anything different.

Again, I've never even played Perfect Dark so I have no idea what you are talking about, but I understand those are different difficulties of play.

 

[Revelade]

Yeah, I could never get Rogue Squadron running... It got to the first slide and it froze from there.

 

[Venice_native]

That is where mine would freeze up too. Starwars games aren't having a very good working rate so far.

Episode 1 Racer works and it is one of my most favorite racing games. They have a brilliant system where you car BREAKS down. Why can't modern racers adopt this great idea?
