Hey, look what I found...
Thats pretty cool, so what are your plans on distributing this gem?
A pressed CD? A real hucard?
Sony DADC CD-Rs from a professional replicator (probably the best option given the cost and such)? I dunno. What do you guys want??? Though to be honest, I'm not really interested in getting dragged to court by Capcom ;>_> Someone else should handle... ehm.... that aspect of it? A few members here could set something up? I dunno.
I kind of like the CD format as it gives the option for CDDA/redbook tracks (or original chiptunes).
BTW, I made a test video:
This is literally a dream come true for me.
I figured quite a few people wanted Megaman 2 instead of MM1
For MM1, I got a hit of about 150 views on my site/blog and that was with a lot of people referencing it from other sites (I can see the redirects). With my MM2 post, which I didn't really advertize, got 300+ views in like 4 hours.
Megaman 2 tunes are legendary! cant wait!
I need to tighten up the audio emulation a bit (fix the sweep support), but otherwise the audio came out pretty decent so far. But yeah, MM2 has the most memorable tracks out of any MM game.
I demand cd audio for this thing of beauty...
Shall I setup a donation thingy for it, for requests?
Since this MM2 went so well (I still can't believe it only took 4 hours to get it up and running, and that includes the time to play through it and beat it
), I'm looking into the other megaman games as well. MM3 and MM5 have a totally different setup than MM1,2,4, and 6. But I'm up for the challenge
I was thinking maybe a dual pack release per CD. I don't know if I showed off the new sprite work for MM1 (megaman and cutman have all new sprites), but it was a pain in the ass to do. So much so, that I might just work on redoing the background tiles and maps for now.
I love the MM series and so this is a labor of love for me. But it does suck
not to be able to... well, get a return on the hundreds and hundreds hours put into this backend emulation code/support. Morality/ethics/whatever issue aside (not that they don't have merit), I don't want any legal trouble or such. I mean, it's my own fault for not putting that time into something original that I could sell. So with that in mind, I was thinking about making a megaman type of game (clone) for the PCE. Feedback?
