Title: Help with downloading a hack pack
Post by: iniche on July 16, 2011, 09:29:34 PM
Hey, guys. This is about something cx4 brought up on his site. He showed picture of a different version of Air Contra.

I have found a link to a giant RAR of NES ROM hacks. Among these are at least 5 graphical hacks related to Contra.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to download the thing from the site. And the worst part is that it seems the download is going to end in less than 3 weeks.

Here's the link to the giant NES ROM collection: http://u.115.com/file/cz4ntoh0 (http://u.115.com/file/cz4ntoh0)

Please, I REALLY need help with getting this download. If you can try your best to find out how to download it, let me know.

Thanks a bunch.

I had the exact same problem while downloading from that exact website :( I think you need to register and then you need to download a special software which only works with Internet Explorer or something :S
Okay, this might be of help:

I've started downloading it using method 3 from that page.. i'll stick it on mediafire or something when/if its done (in about 2 hours apparently) so no one else has to deal with this damn site

well i downloaded it, i'm reuploading now, should be about 10 mins. its password protected though - where did you find the link originally? was there any sign of a password there?

If it was on NESbbs, I think they have the password as a separate file which you can download from the topic where you found that 115 link.

Out of curiosity, did you manage to open and view the files in the RAR?

sorry, mediafire is being uncooperative, i'll try ifile instead. i've re-archived it without the password though.

and yeah i did open it, most of the roms i've tried so far just seem to be Chinese translations or already known dumps but theres like 1000 in here.

Post by: Ninja-Kun on July 16, 2011, 11:20:25 PM
By any chance are there any multicart dumps?

List of file sharing sites as alternatives:

-4shared (need an account, but it is by far the most trustworthy)
-2shared
-zshare
-sendspace
-yousendit


AVOID MEGAUPLOAD

EDIT: Oh well :P

THANK
YOU
TAIZOU!

youre welcome! :D

ive sorted this archive out a bit, weeded out duplicates (there were loads) and sorted things into a few different folders (mostly by filename though, so it might not be 100% accurate). and also 7zipped it so its only 50mb instead of 150. that version will be up in a few minutes.

there really doesnt seem to be much new in there though, aside from chinese fan translations.
heres the sorted version: http://ifile.it/72uf0y4 (http://ifile.it/72uf0y4)

The only noteworthy thing I noticed there was the first Henggedianzi game, which is a strategy game which uses the sound engine from Dragon Co's games.

Were there any duplicates among the Contra hacks you may have seen?
Title: Help with downloading a hack pack
Post by: Awesome Panda on July 17, 2011, 12:55:27 PM
The only ones I remember seeing were Contra '93, Super Contra 2, Contra Fighter and Super Contra 7. I doubt there's any new Contra hacks in there.

BTW, has anyone else noticed that the character roster in Contra Fighter is exactly the same as in Hummer's Street Fighter II? O_o

I also found Star Contra and Air Contra.

what are the rom names? I didn't see those.
Title: Help with downloading a hack pack
Post by: Awesome Panda on July 17, 2011, 05:28:46 PM
Well they're all in Chinese, so I don't think that'd help much. (Well, not for me at least) What folder are they in?
Title: Help with downloading a hack pack
Post by: iniche on July 17, 2011, 06:31:55 PM
I don't know which folder (in Taizou's reupload I mean). When I tried extracting his rar, winrar gave full of errors so I stuck with the original archive (sorry Taizou :P but rest assured that your efforts are not in vein).

I did a folder search for these: 魂斗羅 which is Contra. That yields like 19 of the 37 Contra ROMs there. (I did another search for 3 other obscure characters I forgot about).

Do note that you'll be disappointed to know Air Contra is a simple graphics hack of Final Mission and Star Contra is a simple graphics hack of Journey to Silius.

Do you mind sending me the ROMs of those? I accidentally deleted the folder that those hacks came in and Taizou's upload seems to have been broken for some crazy reason.

Edit: Nevermind, I've got it working now. :)

Edit 2: Still can't find the ROMs though. What emulator did you run them on?

I just ran them on NESTopia. It should (most) all work. Some use a weird mapper, but a friend of mine knew a work-around for that :)

I tried this method with Contra Fighter (from CaH4e3's dumps), and I noted that the game uses Mapper 238.
