Pier Solar may be released soon?!?

[Arkhan]

That's not really gameplay.  Where the character ends up on the field doesn't really have much to do with anything from what I recall.  In Pier Solar you can move characters to the back so they are less likely to be attacked.

Also, who said the CD was "unhackable"?

Lunar definitely used the full field.   If, for example, alex has 3 attacks but the enemy is too far away, he'll waste an attack walking far enough to get to the enemy.  

Its a mechanic alot of people miss.  Its subtle and sometimes not really noticed.

As for the hackable CD.. I dunno, but I know they said the cart is undumpable/hard as hell to do.   They shouldnt have said that.  Theyre gonna look really goofy when someone dumps it.  Its going to happen.  Its inevitable.

No hypocrisy?  If you subtract your posts about myself or Digit Press, I imagine you post count would lose about 1/4 of them.  Get real.

ER is talking about a different context.  but...

If you subtract your posts about whining about price gouging (Hypocrisy to the max!), and the ones where you screw people over, you wouldn't even HAVE a post count.

I dunno what posts about Digit Piss you're talking about though.  I think you're just making stuff up and being a retard, as usual.  You and Alex should hang out.

Anyway, whats the point in rehashing your failevents.  Noone cares.

That is *exactly* gameplay. Where the character ends up on the field in Lunar is extremely important. It's half the battle strategy! And the "move characters to the back" thing is another thing that FF7 has... many RPGs have that feature, really.

WM implied that their game was unhackable/undumpable. Well, the cart is only a matter of time, but the CD's already been figured out. It wasn't easy but he figured it out anyways. The audio is really interesting... it uses negative dB sample inversion and possibly sample dropping, and is likely processed by a subprogram that runs on the slave processor on the Sega CD 68000. They really went to some lengths to ensure that the audio wasn't ripped... it's just too bad that the more you claim it's "unhackable", the more someone's going to prove you wrong.

Which is why you might as well just say f*ck it, and have faith that the collectory types will buy the game even if its a free rom floating around.

No point in going all turbo covert ops with the hardware, someone will crack it.  Always.

It won't run in Fusion, that's for sure.


EDIT:  I got bored with FF7.  I only made it a couple of hours into the game, so I am not overly familiar with its battles except that they were sloooooow.

Damn, there is a puzzle in the game (a bit past midway, I think) that is based on Sokuban games.  I've gotta hand it to Tulio, it had me stumped BAD.  I was pissed.  I finally figured out the solution and it was simple.  I want to kick my ass for not seeing it sooner.

The CD audio has been fully decoded.

[Joe Redifer]

Thanks for the link, but I'm wondering how this is much different than just recording from the audio outputs.

That is awesome.

It will be simpler, with no need to edit your recordings. That and if you have a crapy recorder, you're bypassing it.

I was finally able to pick mine up from the post office... this is beautiful packaging.

does it have the erotic new game smell, or no.

Don't worry Ark. It'll get a "rise" out of you.

[Joe Redifer]

I loooooove new game smell!

Actually you will need to edit them more because they end abruptly since they are made to loop.  You'll have to loop them yourself as well as add a fade at the end.

Neo Geo AES games have the muskiest smell of them all IMO. Those things never lose it! Sometimes I find myself cracking one open just to breath the fumes.

[Joe Redifer]

It's the soft boxes.  You don't find that smell very much in the "shock boxes".  Those boxes are... shocking.

The video game smell always seems to bring me back to Super Mario Bros. 2.  I know there are other games I bought new bitd, but, that one...& it's glorious smell are what I'm reminded of.
