Ziria to be specific

[EsperKnight]

Thanks Tom!

To answer questions about Ziria, so far the intro's been translated (and in the process of being inserted), as well as up to (and including) the first cave you come to.  I've inserted up to the town right now.  I'm not sure of how long before a release but once the font gets inserted (the screenshots below are using a custom syscard3 rom as I was being lazy in setting up the font ingame   ), progress will be much faster on getting the blocks extracted and inserted.

Also, for the versions we'll be doing, it'll be both the SCD and CD versions (I'm working with Dave Shadoff on the CD version).  Luckily the differences between the two seem to be mostly compression (LZSS if anyones curious).  The positions of the blocks appear to be the same so there shouldn't be any slowdown on doing both (I'm primarily working on the SCD one though as that's what I started with, figures I'd had to pick the harder one first )

Touching on SF2:CE thing again.  It wasn't completely a joke.  Tomaitheous and I have been tinkering with the PCE version of SF2:CE off and on for the past year or so.  While translating the endings, win phrases, and switching the boss names to their US names is on the agenda I have taken the liberty of also touching up a few of the stages i felt could use some work.  I was never really happy with the way the Ryu, Guile, and Vega/M.Bison stages looked on the PCE version as well as a couple others.  Oh yea, the title screen will indeed be changed to 'Fighting Street II' Champion Edition'.  Had to do it    Here are some shots of the newer touched up stages next to the original PCE stages.  original ones are on the left, touched up screens are on the right...

Wow, I've seen the full Guile stage and an early version of the Ryu stage, but these are still shockingly amazing!

The graphic quality is so strong all round that I don't think that even Genesis or SNES fanboys would argue that it doesn't look much nicer overall even without all the layered bgs.

I'm also glad that this new version is going by Fighting Street II'. It makes it stand out as something original and Turbo/PCE all the more.

If you guys manage to complete the upgraded rom, I hope that you'll also improve the palettes for sprites like alternate Dhalsim & alternate Vega and touch up the few imperfections (like alternate Saggat's shorts).

SFIICE is still my favorite SF game, so this is as big a deal for me as a port of another version SF.

Oh?  Please elaborate on these sprite/color issues.  I'd be happy to do some tweaking anywhere it's necessary.

This thread is full of goodness. Good luck to everyone working on these projects.

I am so out of the loop that I actually read about this at nfgworld and thought that it was a brilliant... farce. To hear, now, that you are actually working on this is totally crazy. Crazy. Crazy.

I love it.

Even though I'm happy with the sprites as they are overall, it'd still be cool to see some of them colored more like the arcade version. I'm not crazy with how some are colored, such as alternate Dhalsim and Vega (not that I want them paled-out like the SNES version).






Saggat's shorts are missing detail, but only for his alternate colors-



It looks like the shade is there, but it's too close to the other shade of red.


One other thing is that Guile's Sonic Boom sprite animates incorrectly.



It uses horizontal opposites instead of diagonal opposites for frames. The SNES and Genesis versions do it the same as the arcade-
