ITT I ask (beg) PCE hax0rz for teh R0mhax
« on: June 22, 2016, 10:01:21 AM »
Altered Beast - Can someone PLEASE patch the CD version to run on a console without Syscard 1? I wonder what's causing all trouble, maybe they jump to a hardcoded address instead of checking the system card table of functions? It cannot be something too complex since the game doesn't implode on itself when the bug happens (it only kind of sits there waiting for something forever).

Take the 'A' Train III/'A'列車で行こう三/A-Train/Explosive Train Excite III: Same as Altered Beast, but this might be more complex since game refuses to run at all.

Lords of the Rising Sun: Holy shiet can someone 'fix' the ADPCM samples? All of them are bizarrely hilarious and it's all because of the excessive echo that went into recording each sfx. I was wondering if someone could do something to 'normalize' the samples and put it back on the disc.

Super Raiden: There's a partial hack that changes some stuff for the better, I had it but I cannot find it anymore. If anyone has it, please share.

Please comply to my requests or else, thanks in advance.

Boot. It doesn't play the bgm or display the "Best game of the year 199x omg" intro. Just a black screen.

I know a handful or less of Japanese CD games don't play on US systems: http://www.interlog.com/~daves/pce_dev/translt.html (look at the bottom of the page). But AIII isn't listed among them. So I don't know.

 You must have not played to the first boss (CD version).

Oh wait! a vague memory is coming back to me of the game freezing in stage 2, multiple times, while I was streaming it. I guess that's that! Now I know I can play it properly if I use a system 1.0 card, at least?

A system card hack is no longer necessary for Altered Beast since we have the TED. Altered Beast deserves a hack to make it playable for wimps. Judging from complaints, it needs to be as boring as the Genesis version.

A plausible hack that someone might be willing to do and which would have the biggest impact, is to change the background color of the HUD strip the color directly below it. So that it just looks like a floating layer.

Altered Beast: What about hacking the game for SCD and using CD red book tracks? Do a few tile and color updates as well?

Hell yes.

I was surprised their was only a track or two of Red Book ("Wise from your grave!" and ending credits?) for that release...

Same with A.III.  It only chokes on the US 3.0 system card, so it's playable to anyone with a TED, PCE 3.0 system card, or either Arcade Card.

Hacking in more sampled sound/voice effects or replacing some PSG sound effects with better ones would also transform the game.
