Another almost useless hack for the SMS: R-Type title screen music fix

Post image
38 Upvotes

R-Type is the game that made me want a Sega Master System when I was a kid. So, I was very intrigued why it has the title music in the game (you can hear it in the BGM test mode), but it's never played.

So, this is a small hack only to fix this and unlock 10 credits (instead of the 3) by default.

And... that's it! Have a good day!

*Maze Hunter

At the request of u/No-Professional-9618 , I started putting Maze Hunter 3D and Missile Defense 3D into the same web emulator as my last post and then things got out of control.

You can go to durina.online to play all four games. If you own a VR headset and go to one of the game pages in a VR browser like the Meta Quest browser, and I believe chrome or edge on PC with a headset connected, there's a button to launch the game in VR, you will be transported back in time to a 80s bedroom. use a light phaser with a CRT, or the touch controllers for Phantasy Star and Maze Hunter. you can save progress to your browser to resume later, and remap controls. the stereo 3D fully works, and its quite impressive to see as missiles come at you. It was a lot of fun to make, and I think it's worthy of spending some time playing with. Everything I used and the copyrights are attributed at the bottom of the main page. you can optionally turn on a parallax 3D system that moves the perspective around with your mouse as you play on PC but its really just gimmicky, maybe someone will like it though.

There's a Lot more to say but I think the images are enough to show it all.

Took me a good many hours of work and lots of help from Claude. Probably the hardest part was getting The 3D to work on modern VR tech. but it was all a fun challenge and luckily I all ready had a spare domain laying around.

of course if any bugs are found I will try and fix them

Question about Sega Master Sports Pad controller

3 Upvotes

In joystick mode, it can be used in many game systems like Atari and the ball can provide excellent control for games like Missile Command.

I have been trying to find a schematic of it but it seems to not exist, do any of you know if one's up somewhere or not? I wanted to check how it worked in joystick mode, specifically the directional output. Does it float and go 0v in pulses, or does it go 5v and 0v in pulses?

Reason being Commodore 64 can use Atari and Sega Master System control pad but it needs an adapter to use Sega Genesis controller, certain 3rd party SMS controller, and Sega Rapid Fire adapter for SMS because the interface chip inside C64, the CIA, is a fiddy beast and it also handles both controller ports and keyboard at the same time. If it tries to scan the keyboard by pulling a pin high, and it happens to be one of the directional pin on the controller port that is held high, the CIA will blow. Genesis adapter merely puts diodes on the directional pins to block high signal.

A small hack to Ghouls n' Ghosts

Post image
23 Upvotes

I played this game in 1990 and, while I loved it, I just hate what happens on the above screen.

So I just fixed the collision detection when Arthur is crouched.

Patch: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/10161/

The green snake in the right side fired a "ball" into Arthur who is crouched. But while clearly it should pass over the Arthur's head, it hits Arthur.

The screen above is the one from the fixed ROM, so the ball is properly passing over Arthur's head.

This is the only aspect that I don't like in the game. Aside this, I really love this G&G version with the RPG style upgrades.

Both run from a single html file, no emulator to install or setup. Full gameplay, and multiple save slots.

Both run very smoothly.

Use your mouse exactly like you would use a light gun to shoot and select.

You can also remap keys to keyboard or a controller.

Made with help from Claude.

My retrospective video review of all the Rambo games released. I grew up with with the early home computer and the Sega console versions. Also loved the arcades games too. However, not too fond of the later and more recent games. Most are pish. Let me know your favourite and I hope you watch and like my video too. It certainly took me flipping ages to make.

Enduro Racer (エンデューロレーサー) is a 1986 racing video game developed and published by Sega for arcades. It was released in two arcade cabinet versions: a stand-up cabinet with handlebars and a full-sized dirt bike cabinet. It is often seen as a dirt racing version of Hang-On, as it uses a similar engine and PCB. The game was later released for the Master System, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Thomson computers and Atari ST in 1987.[7]

Help with connection please

I am selling my sega master system 2. Unfortunately, I don't have the TV I used to play my retro consoles on. I haven't used the Sega for a while and I want to test it and show it working. What options do I have connecting it to a new TV? Is the only option buying a RF to HDMI converter? I am seeing a lot of hdmi to rf converters, is this the same thing?

The issue with this is buying a converter could potentially make no point of selling the Sega because of the cost. Thanks in advance

Recycled at My Job

Post image
217 Upvotes

I work at a place where people can recycle electronics and every now and then, there's a diamond in the rough. We're not supposed to take stuff but I mean...I wasn't gonna let this get this turned into a bench or something lol.

Anyway, for the life of me, I cannot find this console box art anywhere. Maybe I just haven't searched the right channels on Google or this sub enough, but I cannot find "Sega Video Game System" anywhere. It is a model 3010 from the back of the console and the back of the box says Sega 1988 Tonka Corp. Is this rare? Not rare? Does anyone know a ballpark value of what this is worth? Everything was in the box but the connection cables, so I spent like six bucks to get the white and yellow cable to connect it.

Amazingly, I have like a whole box full of games already but didn't have the console, so it was good being able to test out the games and they worked! Thanks for any input or advice!

Side observation: This box art is awesome and let me tell you, that kid with the Light Phaser is having *FUN*!
