VGMaps Social Board / what sites do you download from?

« on: July 16, 2016, 06:02:12 PM »

what are some of the best sites (and safest) to download ROMs & ISOs from? also emulators.
It seems a lot of sites offer bad dumps of CD/DVD games (and emulators with hidden software)that you have to register, pay, download some suspicious software as well as other crap.

I don't know if this is allowed here but....
looking at this website I saw this game and after a lot of searching (days)I finally managed to get it with great difficulty(from someone, no ISO site offers it) so now I am offering to everyone here. If you know of any iso/rom site you can upload it to pleas do.

Maps In Progress / herc's adventure and more

« on: February 04, 2016, 05:55:41 PM »

Right now I'm working on PS1 Herc's adventure, arcade magical cat adventure, NES The Adventure of Valkyrie(only the over world map for now), C64 knight 'n' grail, SNES popfulmail and GEN/MD Ys3.
I get bored if I only focus on one game. Herc's adventure looks like it might go close to 30k x 30k. I just hope I can accomplish it.

Is anyone ells working on any of these games on this list?

Mapping Tips/Guides / what versions of MAME are the best for mapping

« on: January 20, 2016, 05:44:35 PM »

Most of the time the newer version of MAME is best but some times its not, like when they mess up the tile map viewer colors and make some games unworkable, so you end up going back to an older version.

Maps In Progress / Marble-Man Marble Madness 2

« on: April 30, 2015, 07:48:52 AM »

I'm thinking about doing a Marble Madness 2 map compiled from a video since there is no emulation.
I have attempted to contact Scott Evans the owner of the MM2 machines through his youtube site. So now I'm waiting for a reply.
If anyone know a better way to contact him let me know.

What do all of you think, wast of time or worth a try?

I found a youtube vid of some levels that I compiled in to 3 maps. the video was low quality.

Map Gab / Arkanoid: Revenge Of Doh arcade

« on: November 02, 2014, 12:46:19 PM »

I thought that I finished mapping arkanoid2 but I have been informed the game has different rounds depending on if you exit left or right and the US version is different from the Japanese and World version (1st round is different and the rounds are rearranged).
So what do I do? should I map out the left side rounds of the World ver. and stick the US ver. 1st round on it or do I map out the US separately?

VGMaps Social Board / landstalker sequel and books

« on: November 05, 2013, 07:40:34 AM »

Did you know
there was a landstalker sequel planed for the MD called "Landstalker 2 - Heart of Diamond"
Heart of Diamond was the only direct successor of Landstalker, although not as a game.
It was a Fanmanga which was launched by the Climax artist Yoshitaka Tamaki.Tamaki and maybe others took part in a fanzine in the unofficial sequel released in 1997, for which he did the character design and the script.The manga was a basic design for #2 but  for some reason Landstalker didn't do as well in Japan as it did internationally so I guess that is why it was scrapped, so that might be the reason it was not made into a game.The manga is extremely rare and hard  to find today. there are other books like "Encyclopedia Landstalker" and "THE MAKING OF LANDSTALKER, genius programmer Hiroshi Naito"
These books have character design art not seen anywhere ells.
Has anyone ever herd of these things? Does anyone have these things.

Map Requests / Popfulmail SEGA CD

« on: July 21, 2013, 05:53:08 AM »

Are there any maps out there for Popfulmail on the SEGA CD and if not is any one planing on doing it? I'd like to see a map of that. Anyone else?
I did a little of the SNES  Popfulmail, but  since it is in (J) and no one is planing on translating it I stopped.

Maps In Progress / what do you do if you can't complete?

« on: July 21, 2013, 05:38:26 AM »

Sometimes there are maps you you just can't fully complete because the emulation is not 100% (for the graphics)or layers are missing and you just can't fined or get to some areas.
Do you abandon the project or complete what you can and update it some day when your able to?

Gaming / Hiden & unseen parts in maps

« on: July 08, 2013, 06:36:41 AM »

In some games that I have mapped I have seen parts that you could never see when playing the game. Take for instance Astyanax arcade. there are places you can only see when entering the map file in MAME (as well as other games).
Why do they make art work that is never seen?
And some games have unseen areas beyond the screens borders like Tiger Road and the Ninja Warriors(game ress is 864 but 960 is the size of the intro) 
Is there a difference what the system outputs and what is rendered internally?

Mined you this is only arcade games I'm taking about I don't know if its also the same for PCs and counsels.
