    OMG, really thanks for the mention in the MK hack improvements. You've nailed to describe the improvements.

    Fun fact: I'm friends with Robert Kraus, the creator of Chakan: The Forever Man.
    In all fairness, I've never asked him his thoughts on the Genesis game (usually because we're too busy talking Martial Arts). If I remember to, I should ask him about it and then show him the hack for his thoughts.

    As someone who owns almost every physical Sailor Moon games (I draw the line at Pico and Playdia), I can say that the Genesis version is the best beat 'em up out of all of them.

    Since you covered Ultimate Chakan, I'm not sure if you already checked similar improvements/fixes for games like Robocop vs. Terminator (removes the top black bar), Superman Redux, X-Men Redux, Gargoyles Redux and many more which offer simple tweaks to make those games more balanced, specially since developers had to do that in order to keep expected sales, so doing many games harder, kids wouldn't just breeze through them in a weekend rental.

    Speaking of Sailor Moon, it was the original fan translation of Another Story on the SNES that got me into discovering fan translations and hacks (although I had dabbled in a couple of the earlier Sonic hacks). This led me into finding a lot of anime games that had been fan translated in recent years.
    The newer translation of it is a lot more accurate to the source material (though I do still appreciate the original efforts), and is definitely worth a look for Sailor Moon fans. I didn't need the easy mode hack on top, but I think casual RPG players would appreciate it.
    The Phantasy Star hacks are definitely worth a look at too. The original with FM sound as well as increases XP/Meseta rates makes it a quicker playthrough (there's hacks for the other Phantasy Stars that do that to cut grinding too). That said, for II/IV there are also hacks that do the reverse, and provide MORE challenge. Definitely worth checking out for subsequent playthroughs.

      I only have the Playstation 1 Lord Monarch, but it's one of the many, many entries in the absurdly branching Dragon Slayer series (I believe the Lord Monarch games are part VI, after Sorcerian). I picked it up because there was a point in time that I was snagging up all things Falcom/Dragon Slayer that I could get my hands on. Lord Monarch was always one of the more obtuse games, so it'll be neat to try it in a language I can fully understand!

Only this game controls waaaaay better and you can slowly descend for long jumps like in Mario 3 with the racoon suit.

    I'm not gonna be in a majority here, but boy do I love 'Sailor Moon' beat'em-ups. Growing up watching the anime and having played Golden Axe and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs in the arcade there would be nothing I would dream of more than this game. Having discovered it's now one of the classics me and my friend often casually play through together. It might not be much more than a fairly standard beat-em in Sailor Moon universe, but then again, growing up as a Moonie that's all you'd ever want anyway.
    While SNES port is an obvious choice for coop due to 2-player mode, Mega Drive port ouclasses it in most every other department, with much better graphics and inclusion of cutscenes, so I would say it's definitive for single player. Either way, it's really cool to see even those more niche titles receive some care from modding community.

    For those with a Mega SD, there's a MD+ patch for MK1 that adds the arcade music. The patch also works with MK1 Arcade Edition hack, so you can get a MK1 that looks a lot like the arcade and sounds exactly like the arcade. I compared it to the Sega CD MK1 port and the Arcade Edition hack with MD+ arcade audio is definitely the better experience.
    Unfortunately, I think it only works with the Mega SD. There may be a Mega Everdrive Pro CD audio patch too, but I don't think it works on emulators.

    I think that is a great project, FF on Genesis, I think that's been on the mind of anyone that played Genesis but didn't take the SCD plunge.

    Good stuff here. I've been playing with some hacks recently too. The hacking scene produced some cool stuff. I'm on my second run of Final Fantasy 1 on the NES with some bug fixes. That has led me to look into hacks for the early Dragon Quest games as well as the Phantasy Star games. I already played PS4 a bunch of times, but hacks might make the earlier games more fun. I was surprised how much I enjoyed Decap Attack when I played it about nine years ago for the first time, and Magical Hat always appealed to me visually, so I definitely need to give that a try. Chakan sounds like it may have some potential now, so I'll strongly consider that one.
    While I've played Shadow Dancer to death, and will continue to play it, a 3HP hack makes a lot of sense to make the game more accessible without killing the balance. Three hits is fair for those starting out. Though I should say the game is already rather fair and it's not too hard to deal with it the normal way so I do recommend working up to one-hit deaths and even raising the difficulty. Either way, I like the idea of that hack. Final Fight running on a Genesis is cool to see, though I'm not surprised by it. When I played the Sega CD one, I could see a good bit of minor sprite flicker, telling me that the game pushes the horizontal sprite limit, which I believe is the same for the base system, so that shouldn't be an issue. It's possible the Genesis may have some slowdown in spots due to the slower CPU compared to the Sega CD, but then there might be room to optimize it better. I do look forward to seeing how it turns out.

    I have that Sailor Moon Mega Drive game on an original Japanese cart, and it's a shame it's only one player. It plays much more crisply than its Super Famicom counterpart, which is all kinds of sluggish. If it had the 2 player option it would be the clear cut better game.
    I have an original Psy-O-Blade as well, as it had super cool cover art, but have never made it far into it since I don't read the language. It'd be neat to give it a whirl in English!

      Also mortal kombat revelation. They did a good job recreating arcade like goros lair and make over of pit 1. Sprite colors and framerates on MK1 and MK2 characters looks way better than ultimate trilogy.

    I wish mk aracade hack had enough space to add the flashing fight and finish him, arcade or amiga life bar, color sprite hack from MK revelations and goros lair where it is easier to update it to arcade like backgrounds. Maybe a 8 MB rom hack will fit everything. I'll love to MSU-MD and MD+ version of shadow dancer and Chakan for both hacks.
    Also check out tech demos and sprite/scrolling test with master Linkuei and genesis 8:14. More hacks from hacks games longplay channel. Also, check out mortal revalations which is hacked version of ultimate trilogy. It was better framerates and graphics mk1, mk2 characters and arenas.

  • @stephandolby
    @stephandolby 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    There must be a lot of work going into these. If somebody can port a game, perhaps somebody can fix the sound engine in both Altered Beast and Golden Axe so samples don't pause playback. Add a few extra effects like simulated sprite scaling, basically anything now that the 4Mbit cart size isn't the limiting factor, and the results should be even closer to the arcade originals (the soundtracks already were, aside of Altered Beast's difference in key and the loss of one or two instruments).

    It always annoyed me how the names weren't in the life bars on the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat. Then they fixed it on the rest of the releases, but the SNES took the names out of the life bar.
