Twin Eagles Group rom hacks
Barver:
I finally got into contact with the head of TEG today, Mr. Byte. I asked some basics that have been on my mind. First of all, I knew I'd seen that Sonic sprite for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 somewhere before...
He confirmed it's a hack of Sparkster. He promised to send me the ROM, including all the other games on the site that no rom links are up for. But he's very busy so it's gonna have to wait till Friday(or I'm guessing Thursday my time, not sure). So I'll have them emailed to me then and I'll post them up here so we can finally check them out :clap:
I asked a bit more about TEG, not too much but I got some interesting info. Most interestingly is that all of TEG's hacks were distributed on cartridge with their consent! In his own words...
Quote: all the hacked games were burned on eproms and sold in cartridges here in peru to resellers . as i know , in other countries, like paraguay, some people dumped the rom back to pc and so they released it .
basically , some people X from some country Y paid us an ammount Z to do that kind of work. then we sent them the "master" and they produced the cartridges and distributed to many countries , including back to Peru
another way was that we directly did the job and sold ourself directly to resellers . that was for Futbol Peruano series in Playstation, for example .

He also said that Sonic 2 actually was distributed on cartridge. I'm assuming the same goes for the majority of their hacks. And all this time I thought it was piraters doing it without their knowledge. That explains why there's cartridges of hacks like 101 Dalmations and Bananas en Pijamas which aren't available on their site to download.
Anyway, look forward to Friday(or Thursday =p), I'll be sharing all the ROMs then!
Barver:
Well, this sucks. I got the ROM set, but out of everything Sonic 2 is missing :( Apparently it was lost long ago and he doesn't think he can find a copy of it.
For what it's worth, here's the set of what was provided:
http://200.48.13.74:8080/mobile/rom/ROMS_CONSOLAS.ZIP
Hoping he can lead me to someone else who might have it. There's also some other things on the site not included, like Man in the iron Mask or those Saint Seiya games. 101 Dalmations doesn't work in ZSNES either, not sure if more games are like that.
Edit: He found an old ILBM file(Amiga format apparently) of the VRAM from Sonic 2. Which means I might be able to recreate the hack. Possibly... :)I put all the sprites into a Sparkster rom now. First time ever doing SNES palette editing, much more painful than Genesis :x

MLX:
Ask him if he had a contact with a Taiwanese company to release Sonic 4 please. And if he had any old emails from them or files that he could provide.
Barver:
I can ask, but it's doubtful since I've yet to ever see a single SNES pirate original or hack come from Taiwan, unless generic pirates/multis count. Going by what he said it's most likely he sold them to distributors in Peru and they found their way across the world from there.
Also, here's some shots for anyone curious but can't be arsed to download the rom =p
Barver:
Why wouldn't they be? =p
You might want to read what I wrote just a couple posts up. I even provided a ROM link. I even said the shots are for people who can't be arsed to DL the rom :lol: Wish I could find an original cartridge though, since it might have a titlescreen or more. Plus I noticed some animations aren't done perfectly, like when you're hanging Sonic's shoes don't display properly. Perhaps there was a further version that got onto cart.
Besides Sonic, anyone tried Sextris? :whistle: I actually can't figure out what the heck is going on, I barely get three rows down before the level says I finished and then it quickly flashes a nudie pic. wtf :P
