VGMaps Social Board / Re: YouTube channel! (JonLeung1)

« Last post by JonLeung on October 09, 2025, 07:23:50 pm »

I saw a funny Chiitan☆ video, wanted to see what it would be like to add Contra music to it, then figured, "that's cool", but at this point, why not just make it a YouTube Short?

My recent Mega Man 3 Short is now at 10k views and the Mega Man 2 Short is now at 50k views.  So even though I seriously need to get back to making longform content, I can make silly stuff like this now and then to keep my watch time up.  They don't take too long to make, after all.

Gravity Circuit is on my list, and this is a public service announcement that the game is free to claim on the Epic Games Store this week (until Thursday, October 16, 9:00 AM MST) if any of you PC gamers want a NES-like Mega Man-style (or maybe more like Mega Man X-style) game.

He's right! If anyone's willing to donate more money to reach those stretch goals, now is the time! The countdown's begun! Make Jon's dream come true!

Bumping this up as there's only 25 hours left (essentially, it's the final day) and I wanted to bring attention to it again for a final push and before it's too late.

At the moment, it is very close to the £20,000 stretch goal that will bring it to iOS & Android, so that's quite likely, but can it get to £25,000 for a Nintendo Switch port?

If anyone's been holding off, well, there's no reason to delay now that there's not much time left!

Map Requests / Re: List of Looney Tunes Video Game Map Requests

« Last post by RetroidPrimeX on October 06, 2025, 08:55:06 am »

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!

Map Requests / Re: JonLeung's Requests

Ah, forgot to mention that a few days ago we got the maps for Noah's Ark (E), thanks to zagato blackfist yet again!

I did mention it on social media, though, and I said:

"Yesterday, zagato blackfist contributed maps of Konami's "Noah's Ark", a PAL exclusive, and the ONLY officially-licensed NES game with biblical themes.
Now VGMaps has maps of ALL of the Christian NES games (licensed or not)."

"This should NOT be confused with Super 3D Noah's Ark. They are quite different!

Noah's Ark = NES, only officially licensed Christian game, Europe only
Super 3D Noah's Ark = Super NES, only unlicensed cartridge during the lifespan of the Super NES, North America only"

It's nice to get a themed set of games complete.

Thanks again, zagato!

Map Gab / Comparing Ecco's map

« Last post by G.E.R. on October 01, 2025, 10:54:11 pm »

I was compared every map (my and exist) before saving and there are minor discrepancies between them. Some images coincided almost 100%, but some maps have differences (colors, walls, block structure, sea plants). Apparently, due to various emulators or ripping method.

One interesting that I found: Machine levels (with autoscrolling) has a looping maps like Sonic 3 & Knuckles. This has no practical significance, but if you break autoscrolling and try to move freely around the level, the right edge of the map will continued seamless to the left edge, and bottom edge to top edge.
Ecco Jr have has more levels than maps: there can be 2-5 levels on one map with the possibility of way between them.

Map Gab / Re: Sega Genesis Mini 2 - full map set

« Last post by JonLeung on October 01, 2025, 08:51:52 pm »

Do you think it is okay to mark Populous as complete, then?

Thank you for the submissions and clarifications on Ecco The Dolphin and Ecco: The Tides Of Time.  Still took a while to get them up because I had to rename a bunch of existing maps that I figured are still worth keeping.  Both of the Ecco games have now been checked off of the Sega CD section.

Awesome work yet again, G.E.R.!  You really love taking on these multi-game requests, don't you?  Your effort is appreciated.

I guess that leaves the two Shining games - Shining In The Darkness and Shining Force CD - as well as Mansion Of Hidden Souls, which I'd be interested to see how that is handled.

I actually don't know how many maps should be, all videos that I found were for SNES/MS and other platforms. There really have a lot of levels (=scenarios/scripts), but all Genesis levels, that I checked, was only this 4 themes: grass, desert, snow and volcanic.
