Map Gab / Map presentation suggestion

« on: October 27, 2020, 10:24:46 am »

I see some maps that can be done with 10 or less images but some put 50 or more with very smal images. Most won't click though the 50 plus images.

The map list shouldn't be longer than it needs to be. To show 1 room seperatly would not be efficient or comfortbale to see. Imagin if Zelda was uploaded with each room individualy how annoying it would be. Mario is fine to uploaded individual levels for example. I understand some maps need to be split up since they can be very big.

That is my suggestion, what do all of you think? Do you prefer clicking thought 100 small images than 1 image that fits all 100 images on screen?

Gaming / what sites do you download from?

« on: July 16, 2016, 07:02:12 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.

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.

Map Gab / Marble-Man Marble Madness 2

« on: April 30, 2015, 08:48:52 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.
