Happy 40th Anniversary to the Nintendo Entertainment System!

Well, the day's over...

Shall we set a countdown clock?

1461 days until Oct. 18, 2029!

One game per week!  And... go!

I agree that if we want to see maps for more obscure titles like these Looney Tunes games, the best chance is to roll up our sleeves and create them ourselves. Hopefully more fans will be inspired to join in after reading this!

Yes, please do.

And if not LTIan, surely there are other fans of Looney Tunes video games.

Maybe someone willing to put in the work to map them.

1. Download and install BizHawk (a multi-platform emulator, including emulation for the Sega Genesis).
2. Download the "Bugs Bunny's Double Trouble" Genesis ROM (try searching for "Vimm's Emulation Lair" and then go to "Vault", "Genesis", "B".  Feel free to edit this step if giving directions to find ROMs is against the TOS, mods).
3. Load the ROM in BizHawk and start the game.
4. Click "GEN" in the taskbar and then "Settings".
5. Click on "Sprite Layer" to turn it to "False" and hit OK (this will turn off character sprites so they don't clutter up your map, you can always turn them back on if/when you do need to see them).
6. Press F12, which should take a screenshot.
7. Play the game a bit more by moving over a bit.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have screenshots of the whole area.
9. Open up an image editing program - if you have Windows, you can even just use Paint.
10. Go to "File" and then "Open", and navigate to the folder where the screenshots are, which by default should be "[wherever you installed it]/Genesis/Screenshots".
11. Select one of the screenshots.
12. Copy it (with Ctrl+C).
13. Open another screenshot.
14. Paste (with Ctrl+V) your screenshot into this image and position it to where it should be.
15. Save the file.
16. Repeat steps 13 to 15 until the area is assembled.
17. Do more image editing if you need to add labels, certain sprites, etc.
18. You're done!

If you ask others nicely maybe they can help you with any of these steps above, or provide alternate ones, if you want to learn how to make maps, as from what I've gathered from reading about you here, the best chance of seeing any maps of Looney Tunes games is to make them yourself, and if you didn't know the basics, now you do.

Good luck!

Congratulations on completing the BONUS section!

Looking forward to seeing that SEGA CD section completed, if it's possible.

I won't bear responsibility for whatever LTIan's trying to stir. What he tries to do is on him, NOT me.

Why would anyone even think you were responsible in the first place?

I'm new to these forums, but what I do know is that FlyingArmor does great maps, especially for RPGs.

Is Ultima: Warriors Of Destiny (NES) one of those current projects?

Too leftist and ableist to do anything about it.

LOL, wut

What is the story behind the maps for Looney Tunes games, and what do politics have to do with it?

The Crazy Castle series is an interesting one.

Some have Bugs Bunny, but in other regions and later releases, so many other characters star in them.

There's Mickey Mouse, Garfield, The Real Ghostbusters, and Woody Woodpecker.

Also a European character named Hugo, and Kemco's own Kid Klown.

It's just an interesting note, that's all.

Not sure if I want to request the remaining ones to be mapped, but if I do, I know the correct board to do that in, don't worry.

It's now less than a month until the 40th anniversary of the NES in the United States!

Doesn't look like VGMaps will get all the NES games mapped by then.

Maybe the 45th?

Or maybe the 42nd?  (I've always liked that number.)

I don't know if it's better to map all the "easy" games first, like sports and puzzle games, or prioritize mapping the games that need them most, like RPGs/adventures.

On the one hand, it feels like the list is shrinking quicker if you knock out the simple one-screen or one-area games.

On the other hand, more people would take note of VGMaps if they knew they could find useful maps of dungeons and big overworlds and whatnot.

Or maybe just mix them up?  Do a few easy ones and then tackle a big one?

Gotta keep it interesting so that no one burns out (especially that zagato guy that seems to be doing most of the work).

Hello!  I'm a Mega Man and Metroid fan.

I hope you guys can map more Mega Man games!

It's surprising to me that the PSP games aren't mapped yet.

I know making maps isn't easy, and takes time to do, but I appreciate all your efforts!

Thanks for all your hard work so far!
