StarFox2 SNES

[speculative]

Hey I just stopped by here to see what's up and stumbled across this post! Nice find! Is this a new release or a find that has been floating around the net for awhile? I've got pretty much all the old ROM's I can handle (SNES, NES, SMS, GB, Genesis, 2600, etc.) but didn't nab any N64 roms etc.

Have you heard if they ever released that sequel to Kid Icarus for NES that was floating around? It was a prototype, working cart that people were trying to get the owner to upload...

Anyways, nice find!

hello,

i know this post is old now, but i was in search of starfox 2 and google found this fourm.

player0, what are the 20 spc files for and how do i use them to take care of the blinking problem with zsnes? as of now i'm using zsnes 1.36 for windows.

btw, thank you much for finding this rom. i too grew up enjoying starfox on the snes. since some time has passed since the last post, have there been any new events or news regarding this rom? has anyone by chance completed the game?

Hey guys I know this is an old thread but, I want to know, who can figure out the translation patch for this rom??

I use ZSNES 1.42 and it rocks with most roms, but with the star fox 2, I can't get the translation patch to work, any ideas?

[Kopfschuss88]

I use Snes9x personally. see if that works.... i guess.

[Player0]

Whered you find the patch? If you let me know ill patch a rom

[speculative]

Lol... talk about thread back from the dead!

[kreg]

holy crap on a stick. this thread lives!

well since the topic twitching again, does anyone know what the latest beta version of this game was? i heard rumors that someone we trying to clean up the rom and make it playable. such as removing the frame rate counter and other things. any know?

-kreg

[Player0]

I havent heard of that. I dont even know whos working on the patch. Dejap? I need to check in to it later when I get home.

[kreg]

for the record i have 3 different starfox 2 roms.

starfox2.scm
starfox2 beta 1.1.scm
starfox2 final.scm

i think the one called final was done by a 3rd party fan or something. not really sure. for all i know there could be more hacks of it out there.

[Player0]

There are 3 beta roms of SF2 in existence. One EXTREMELY preview rom, one rom with two levels and some playability, and the near final version which was shown at CES and has the frame rate counter on it.

On a related note, recently I've heard of a Sonic the Hedgehog beta ROM making the rounds (I think it was for Sonic the Hedgehog 2). It is pretty playable, but you have to use some tricks to play it.

It's funny how I never really got into the SNES. After the NES, I started migrating over to PC, even if back then I only had 4 megs of ram in my old 486 DX/2 66mhz

Someday I'll have another NES sitting right next to my Atari 2600. Can't wait to play Ninja Gaiden again I've tried emulators, but for some odd reason it just doesn't feel right.

[Player0]

Yeah, I agree, there's something not the same about emulators, which is why Ive started collecting more old hardware. I dont have Ninja Gaiden but I beleive I have Ninja Gaiden 2 thanks to Alex. In fact, I managed to somehow end up with 3 NES's at home.

Im still going to grab a http://www.estarland.com/NintendoNES...uct.22535.html tho.

The SNES is by far the best 16-Bit gaming platform around, Genesis in second I guess. Depends on what games you like. You cant find a PC game in the early 90s that tops the ones on the SNES except for maybe a Flight sim or FPS. Honestly tho, Ive never been one to worry about what Im playin on, more abuot what I'm playing.

Some games are right on the TV, and some are right on the PC. FPS on a gamepad sucks

[Player0]

On that note, yes, I know the Neo Geo... but thats more of a 24-bit really, tho I suppose it was competing in the 16-bit market. SNES still rules

[Yourmove]

Ahh, the wonderful snes. As a matter of fact I took mine out and played the Super Mario World all the way through yesterday. Couldnt find my Street Figther 2 game though -_- (which was annoying). I tore the house up looking for it. SNES was indeed the best, emulators just dont do it justice sometimes. They dont feel right like Flybye said. I liked the SNES for RPGs and Fighting games personally, always got wooped in Street Fighter 2 by my brother. :/

I need to collect some more cartridges for it now that i think about it...hmm.

[kreg]

let's not forget the best SNES game ever.

Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City.


Man that game was a joke...

[Player0]

Super Mario World was awesome. Looong game though, you got through it in a day? Well I suppose if you dont do all the extra worlds its possible. That game was nice and uber long, probably the best Mario game ever. Mario 64 was hella fun too tho. What happened with Sunshine? I couldnt stand playing that stupid game.

Zsnes does pretty well with most of the games. I'd really love a cart dumper so I can play ROMs on the SNES box, theyre fairly cheap these days on the import scene. The biggest issue is the controllers. You can wire most controllers to the PC with some work, and you can find adapters some places, but Ive never tried it.

i never played SNES ever, i went from the atari 2600 to the xl800 to PC games.
i have a PS emulator and most PS games work on my PC.
i might bug you for help trying SNES ems' i remember the commercials for some nintendo games and they looked fun, my gameboy has thousands of hours logged in it though, i havent picked it up since unreal 2002 though

[Player0]

Ooo, I grew up on the 800XL, which is comparible to the Atari 5200 games really. What I really want to find is a Star Raiders cart for the XL/XE series. The 2600 version of Star Raiders bites.

What PS emulator do you use? ePSXe is hella fun. I had to hack my DVD drive in order to make PS games run on it. I have a hacked PS and a PS2 at home so I dont really need the PC. It's kinda hard to find PS games for download, since Sony is a hound about it. I bet if you look on BitTorrent theres a bunch.

My big emu thing tho is Mame. I got about 99% of the Mame games out there. I really want to buy some plans and build a full fledged arcade cabinet, have it in my living room to play some REAL Galaga or Samuri Showdown. Nice little mATX in there or something. Expensive though, and I dont have any wood working tools anymore. Need at least a small circular saw and a scroll saw I imagine.

Oo... and a nice 4 player joystick rig with a nice big glowblue trackball for some serious Centepede or Marble Madness action *drool*
