Announcements & News / Make the button banner for PGC!
« on: March 13, 2013, 12:22:17 PM »
Hey,

It has been decided that we'll try to make some partner websites. But to accomplish this, we need some button image to give to our partners.

The width and height of the button should be 88x31, the standard "small button" size (but feel free to make extra sizes if you want).

We'd greatly appreciate if you could help us have one. It'd be helpful to the community.

Few examples of simple ones:






An animated one:


what we do not want:
-Animated stuff that is too long/too many animation. People usually loose track of what they are looking with such thing.
-Really dull pictures.



Once you've made one, you can submit it to me by PM. After some time, we will make a poll with all sent picture (except rejected ones because they were breaking the rules too much). The one with most vote *will* (unless some massive fake voting happens  :pandamad: ) become the forum banner.

Announcements & News / 您好 / Hello
« on: June 20, 2012, 04:54:22 PM »
First of all, I'd like to thank a lot Barver and KingPepe. They were very helpful. Also a big thanks to PGC Team who sent us questions, ideas and helped to translate or make connection with other events (Taizou, AwesomePanda and others). Without their help, it could have not worked that good!


The title of this topic is in fact the first part of the message that I sent to Hummer Cheng.
Some people here discussed with him by emails with the help of a middleman/translator and here we are, sharing it to you.

As most of the message sent to us were in chinese, we had to translate it, to release it here, we cut most of the casual discussion and unrelated stuff only keep what was related to Famicom. The questions are asked in bulk because we discussed with him by email and eventually some questions were put with others so maybe the dates are not accurate in the email header. The page will be updated when we get more informations.

Pirated Work / Fonts
« on: September 06, 2011, 04:33:27 PM »
Recently had fun reproducing 2 fonts.
1st is a font from Sachen, the one used in World of Card Game. Most of the special characters were designed by me, as well with: G, P, Q, V, W, X, Z (they are not in the game code at all)
http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/sachen
Note: The font must be used with Shift/Shift lock.

2nd is the Tiny Toon Adventures 6 font (Similar to Somari and KF) without shading (I don't know how to add shading to the font directly).
http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/somari_font
Note: The font must be used in lower case only.

So I recently came across the site scanlines16. A french website qhich has quite some stuff about pirates.
This article was the most interesting:

I'm not familiar with megadrive pirates but I guess some good box pictures is still good to show :)

1993-1999 / Beta of Titenic on 15in1 ?
« on: May 01, 2011, 05:33:10 AM »
So I recently bought a Game Genie and I told SMWHacker (he was really interested to hack it), after about one hour of searching for the title screen (adresses are likely moved further), he decided to try to make the code to summon enemies in the game, it worked and I tryed (with his help) almost all values that are strange in HL, we flound 3 unused enemies and more floating unused stuff (that goes with water).

The first one was a FF3 like enemy trowing bombs at the character, it is half working. You must hit him once before the bombs are exploding and I think the bombs only have a very small hitbox that appear only for about 1 or 2 frames.

(The game is being played on a PAL NES, so the picture is streched and colors are a bit different)

The next one is a gunner, he looks like a spy or some guard, 2 palettes exists like the 1st one.
no picture at the moment

And now is the oddest enemy ever seen in a pirate game I think:
It's some kind of lizard that jumps around and spins at the same times (once it starts, it never stops). If it is summoned on the ground, you can see it walking then starting to spin and starting to jumps. It is almost finished, it can hit me but I can't. I think it is fully animated, maybe it was supposed to land after a while, or I don't know.
video comming later (I'll do one showing those 3 enemies and maybe 2 unused floating stuff)


Unrelated:
Another version of Tetris exists in South Korea !

1984-1992 / Hummer Team is a lot older than what we think
« on: February 28, 2011, 06:42:37 PM »
Few minutes ago, I was doing the monthly search with Jing Ke Xin Zhuan (荊軻新傳) on google and other sites to find some more infos on it. I landed on a good pic of the box with something quite important to point out:



See that little thing on bottom right ? Wait, doesn't that read HUMMER TEAM ?

So the whole thing about Gouder Co. and Supertone may be names of the publishers, not the developers. And the name Hummer Team was used since 1992 (and probably while they were still with Computer & Entertainment). Result: BGW need a complete edit of Someri and Hummer Team page. I guess before five people start to do that whole thing we should talk about this a bit more since I think it's strange how they didn't used the name from 1992 till 1995.

Also the back:



If anyone could translate the text on bottom left...

Hacker Center / Jing Ke Xin Zhuan cheats
« on: February 13, 2011, 02:28:29 PM »
All these codes are from me, please give credits.

As the game is hard and is only in chinese, here's few codes to help you during the playtrhough:

Infinite life:
0477; FF

Infinite cash:
0470; FF

Stat under the health (?):
047B; FF

Stat on top of your health (?):
0473; 37 (cannot go higher than 55)

Kill the enemies in one hit each:
0565; 00 (first)
0567; 00 (second)
0669; 00 (third)

Free movement on X axis:
0049; XX
01 for right, 02 for left. The enemies when you are out of bounds can remove up to 214hp, I suggest using the Infinite health code and the kill enemies with one hit. To controll yourself again, deactivate the code.

Random codes where you can mess up with Jing Ke. These codes are fail, I tryed to make them but they don't work well...
Spoiler: click to toggle
FREE MOVEMENT !
005A; FF

Now you can go EVERYWHERE and walk on EVERYTHING !
It seems the first town doesn't like free movement, add 0051 01 to the free movement when you walk in that town. Deactivate it when you leave it.
Remove triangle:
0719; FF
