Title: Ripped graphics from games
Post by: ccovell on September 08, 2015, 04:26:20 AM
Hey, folks.  I didn't want to flood the original topic with just pictures, so I'm opening this one up.

I've made a PCE debugger/monitor program ( http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=19670.0 ) and one of its features is PCX screengrabs from the actual hardware.

So here are some actual screendumps:

Or you can burn one of the included ISOs to a CDR and let me know if it works for you.

I have the whole image (captured from magic engine many years ago and not Chris' excellent tool) but I didn't want to sully the family friendliness of the board (or break any rules, either!)  It's from my US copy of CF2, which is censored anyway by little steam clouds.  Not sure if the original Japanese version has those or not.  Anybody who wants the rest can PM and I'll send it if you want.

Online traffic for Brothers Duomazov might peak today.  :lol:

I saw the image but I really didn't thought much about it. I was thinking that it was only of use for BRAM dumping, didn't knew you could load the monitor on memory and switch to a retail disc (that's what I assume how it works?).
Will try as soon as I figure out how am I going to do the cable.

New to me!  I've never messed with the visual collection.  Kinda ruins the mystique a little, no?

Definitely.  It's only good for quick viewing of the cinemas after you've beaten the game or if you'll never play it (in which case you suck).

I have indeed played through it, one of the games I still have from my original library.  For some reason, I even kept the outer box to CF2 even though I'm not an outer box kinda guy.  I always wanted to check out CF3 and CF4, but to be honest, I always thought the RPG combat in CF2 was a little on the simplistic side.  Between the language barrier and maybe not looking forward to more repetitive battles, I never got around to it.  Don't get me wrong, I loved CF2 - The cinemas, characters, music, that Working Designs dubbing... but the battle system I remember just being a slogfest to get through.  I already have limited patience for old school RPGs, though (even though I like quite a few of the more special ones.)

CF3 and CF4s are not the same style RPGs as CF2. But they are still in Japanese.

The Valis and Cosmic Fantasy visual sets include new and altered scenes.

That's good to know.  They're still on the list to try.  I have a little Japanese under my belt so that's never really stopped me before.  I'd say from screenshots they still kinda look like they are in that Dragon Quest style format, what would you say is different style wise?  Just out of curiosity, I mean.

Yes, the copy of PCEmon on CD probably won't work for dumping/freezing other CD games, since you'd need the syscard to be hacked.  You _could_ try loading PCEmon from CD, loading ROM PCEmon into CD-RAM $80-$86, maybe put a hacked syscard bank 0 into CD-RAM bank $87, map that into MPR7, and try jumping to it... hopefully non-Super-CD games won't touch what's mapped through MPR7.  That's one way to alter the Syscard without an Everdrive... run it from SCD-RAM.

Even though CF3 is the most similar to CF2, it doesn't really have an overworld. It's pretty much just one open world city/dungeon. The battles are much more enjoyable and the enemies and portraits are very nicely done, but the enemies are cartoony/comical. Still lots of battles, but they move smoothly and are typically short.

The CF4 games are almost like a different series from a game standpoint. They're made to feel modern for the time and have top quality visuals all-round. Chapter 1 stars the cast of CF1 and Chapter 2 the cast of CF2. Chapter 1 is full of Mode 7 effects, Chapter 2 features more art than pixelization. Both CF4 games feature digicomic-style segments, more typical JRPG soundtracks and battle background art.

If anyone wants to grab the ending scene from Valis II (it is a simple, but nearly full-screen scroll)....

...and any other graphics you find along the way...

That landscape, with the sword, and the music playing at the end of Valis II....very classy.

ALSO: to think that, until now, I have only seen these images scrolling, and never as complete static compositions, is crazy.

As always, we must keep in mind that these looked very different on a TV, what with the non-square aspect ratio and the color bleed. Might have made some of them even more attractive. It doesn't look like many of those big stills make good use of palettes as they're low on distinct colors, something a TV might help to mask.

There are few of us who don't know what (at least) most of these look like through real hardware on a crt.
