Hold up a minute. Do you really think it fair to place product based games under the title of homebrew?

I mean just because someone or even a small group of someones get together to create and release a game as an official product for sale then, doesn't that move the game in question out of the homebrew category and into the same ranks as any other third party software?

What I'm saying is... How should I put it... It's as if Arkhan, Garner and anyone else who aren't with some big shot, well known, household brand name are being treated like their sales releases aren't true product but, just some private hobby that they chose to get copyrighted so, that they could sale it as though it were an official product but, not really because they're name isn't Sony or Namco or Konami or...

I'm not trying to make waves. I'm just saying that it doesn't seem fair to me to call a non-big name official sales release "homebrew".

It just seems to me that it's like saying, your game is just a hobby project, not an official game.

Sorry if I've ruffled any feathers.

Anything released for a system, that is not endorsed/licensed is basically homebrew.  All of these games developed and under development are considered "Homebrew" titles since they are being made by fans for the most part.  Its not an insult by any means.  These guys are proud of their products, and so are we.  :)

Oh. I did not know that. Never mind me. Putting my foot in my mouth is kind of an old habit. So, what about Tengen doing unlicensed NES games? Would that also be classified as homebrew?

BTW, I wasn't knocking homebrew. Some of my favorite games are homebrew and have inspired me a lot.

I don't know any kind of programming languages but, I've played around with tile and level editors and I like to experiment with sprite alterations as well.

Why tg16 before pc-engine ???
Pc-engine is the original name of the console .
I think also that tom's SGX librarie is based on xavier's one (if tom can confirm or not !!), this is not mentioned.

Another thought or two:

I also believe that Bonknuts is working on a Megaman 2 release for PC Engine, so I suppose that this would be under development?

Also, how many of the released games have been released in pressed form as opposed to cdr form or simple rom form?

That was a bad joke (I believe) by Emerald Rocker. I'm too lazy to search the forums, but someone will find it. He was, IIRC, mocking the homebrew community in general (and the Frozen Neutopia team in particular, if I had to put a wager on it).

OR MAYBE THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE and there really was a serious project that I missed. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

I haven't seen an answer to my above question about which games have been released in pressed form.  Can anyone answer this question?  I'm wanting to go ahead and get some of the homebrew games, but my Duo doesn't play CDR's, so for now, I'll limit myself to pressed releases only.  I already have Mysterious Song and Implode.  I'm planning on getting Revival Chase and Insanity, because I understand that these 2 are on pressed disks.  I would like to get Meteor Blaster DX, but I'm reading conflicting information on whether it is a pressed CD or a CDR.  Can someone confirm whether it is pressed or not?  Also, if there are any other pressed PC Engine homebrew games, then please let me know.

Um, no. That's the guy who is bootlegging Tom's version of Megaman. He is the reason Tom removed the CD image from his site.
I also doubt those are pressed discs, since you can see how poorly he applied the clear labels to the cdr's.

You mentioned all of the physically published games. Meteor Blaster DX uses cdrs that are hard for some systems to read, but everything including the disc printing is professionally made.

The Sapphire bootlegger has made bootlegs of various quality of Space Fantasy Zone and Tom's Megaman CD. I can't say for sure which are cdrs and which aren't, as I'm waiting until I have time to scan and photo them before opening, to make an expanded bootleg guide.

It's best not to be too discriminating as long as the makers/publishers aren't parasites. The originality of many of these games is questionable: Insanity and MB are "original" in that they're built from scratch , but they're absolutely clones. Mysterious Song is a port through and through, but it got a facelift and extra content. Revival Chase is a port without a facelift, so what? There are also two other games on the disc and the makers clearly set out to support the scene and release a PCE game. Megaman is a port/hack. Ys IV is a regionalization. Island Adventure is demo. Where does one draw the line? These are all shades of grey.

The purpose of a homebrew "Master" list isn't to judge creativity or elbow grease, it's to help new members find games and give independent publishers/programmers some much-needed exposure. Divide the list into different categories if you want, but as long as A) code was edited, B) the publisher isn't a parasite, and C) the game pertains to the PCE, it should be on this list.

Nothing anime4ever has done belongs on this list or warrants anyone's support: SFZ is a prototype he slapped on a CDR. Megaman is somebody elses work used without permission (on a CDR).

Err new criteria. My gut feeling. Probably the best way to go.
Title: Re: Master List of PC Engine Homebrew Games
Post by: Black Tiger on February 09, 2013, 06:31:29 AM
I do think that releases should be categorized, even if many titles appear in multiple categories, if only to make it clear to people unfamiliar with them. Physically published games should have their own category, as there seems to be a large number of people across the internet interested in "new" physical releases. Once AbCards are released, those games should have that distinction listed as it's a pretty big deal. Maybe have format categories of: rom, iso, CD(R) and Card.

It would also be good to include, if not descriptions of completeness, at least disclaimers for things like Tongueman's Logic lacking sound and Ultimate Rally Club basically being a demo of what could become a fully fleshed out game.

Mysterious Song is a port through and through, but it got a facelift and extra content.

It's also the only official PCE homebrew port or clone and the creator of the original game has received at least free copies.

What you see is a mockup.  That isn't real gameplay.

I think there is a misunderstanding of what the word port means.

Porting is when you move the existing code over.  In Revival Chase's case, it was a from-scratch remake.  That's not a port.

In the case of Mega Man, that's not even a port.  It's an emulation.  That does not count, imho. 

That's not to say it's not a good effort.  It's just not a homebrew effort.  It's a hack.   

There should be a list of PCE hacks/translations that is separate from games that were coded from scratch by people.

Not saying we don't need more devs, but I think time is more what we need .... win the lottery, quit day job, spent days doing PCE Dev.  Why does this sound familiar .. . ?

Yeah, programmers, get your finger out!

Anyway, more programmers = less time between project releases. Even some people working on smaller demos or mini games would be cool to keep the output flowing and increase activity and awareness of the PCE scene.

I might diddle out a few quick chiptunes in the coming weeks with a cute picture or something, just for something to show people and get their boners throbbing.

I think we need more coders as well, but at the same time, I'm guessing that multiple coders's on 1 project can sometimes slow things down.  I'm only guessing, but I would think that every coder has their own style & expertise, similar to how musician's & tile & sprite artists have their own styles, & don't always mesh together.  But we DO need more coder's in general, no doubt!  Maybe pull some from the C64 scene or something.

From my perspective, the coding is not difficult (I know, matter of perspective).  Finding persons who can truly take advantage of the PCE GFX and Palettes, that's where the resource deficiency is.

Really? Palette management is a bit of a pain in the ass but it's not rocket science. I'm finding the trickiest thing is managing the graphics to fit nicely in the available storage/memory (which to anyone other than a programmer is some vague gas-like formation that's impossible to pin down). The only thing is us arty types are not trusting of programmers and want to see something solid before we take the plunge. Art/music should be the last of the worries. Good game relies on good design and competent programming.

Has anyone written a treatise on palette management?  I'd love to research the subject as I'm in the initial phases of designing my very own bathroom simulator game, and since I'm not using FEKA I'm not sure how I'm gonig to pull off all those shades of brown.  (seriously, though, i'd love some info to read on the topic as I have been wanting to get into making PCE graphixcs)



I want screen shots of the actors posing on the throne as proof of concept lol.

All are pressed now.  Meteor Blaster DX was originally a CDR, but it's since been released as a pressed disc.  If you get it direct from Mindrec, it'll be pressed; if you get it elsewhere, check to make sure it's not an old version.

Believe it or not but I got them all from Good Deal Games with the exception of Mysterious Song which was sold out.  Ironically that was the one I was most looking forward to, so now I'm on the hunt.  If anyone can help me out, please let me know!

Ok cool, let me know if the passwords are inside the mag.  It seems a bit odd to have two of the three included games locked out, but someone out there must have the passwords.

But, I noticed on the Master List that it lists Meteor Blaster DX as being a CD-R. It was, but then it was re-released on factory pressed disc in 2013...and it included a FIFTH selectable ship - The Golden Phoenix!

Just wanted to "tug someone's coat" on that one.

The various versions of Nod's Bomberman clone are all based on the engine that he built from the ground up. It's not a hack. If it doesn't count, then neither do most of the games in the list. Especially stuff like Bubble Bobble, Revival Chase and Flappy Bird.
