Zelda for PCE?
« on: October 28, 2009, 01:36:51 AM »
When I looked around the net for some ROM files to try out my new flash cart once it arrives (yes I know flash carts are bad things and not something for a hardcore collector, but I really like to try out my games before buying them on HuCard) I found two Zelda ROMs for PCE.
When I tried them out in my PSP on an emulator it seems to be a pretty pixelperfect conversion graphically, although there was no sound and the shops didn't seem to work.

Anyway, does anyone of you know where they might come from?
Is it some work-in-progress community hack from somewhere or could it be some old asian (or whatever) clone?

It might be part of Tom's project of running NES roms on the PCE, either by Tom or by someone using Tom's work as a starting point.

Well, I found them in a ROM compilation on ISOhunt, a torrent search engine...

I'll check the exact names once I get back home tonight, and see if I can find any readme or similar.

They were probably old versions of Gravis' game engine then, as the shops didn't work in those either...he hadn't gotten that far yet. They also had no sound.

I have visited the site http://www.adaptivetime.com/  and in the News section the last update was in the year 2007. It's not 2002, but it's a long time ago anyway. In that web there are also later versions of the game to download. Maybe if many people asks for it in these forums, the creator will go on with the project...  :?

Yes, that's probably the one.
Too bad the project seems to be dead though :-(

Have you looked at the code?  He doesnt know shit.  And what's with the editor thingy?  After installing the lame gtx program I opened the editor and everything is black.  It didnt even work!

This "game" is an abomination and someone should make a real version. :evil:

works fine for me.  As much as me and the author of that stuff bash faces, saying he doesn't know shit is a stretch.
