Oh I'm completely aware of this, but the whole non commercial game thing meant that I kept FDS games out of the list as to my knowledge, there isn't any exceptionally well made FDS games that have received full translations or hacks that wouldn't be completely just as playable in Japanese. Still, I do plan on giving it a mention as Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic Metroid and Zelda no Densetsu all deserve a mention.Ziggy587 wrote:You know, there's something else I just thought of that I really think you should have mentioned in your article. The PowerPak can play FDS games, and does so amazingly. The fact that you're playing them from a flash cart on a NES might put an idea in your head that it's no different than emulation, but in fact, you're playing it on real hardware so it's almost exactly like the real deal!
Maybe you wont wanna mentioned particular games, but I think you should at least mention the fact that the PowerPak is capable of running FDS games. And mention the differences that some games have. Like Metroid for example. Among other differences, the ability to save instead of using an annoyingly long password.
The only down side is that some FDS games used extra sound channels that the Famicom had. Games that use them, these sounds will be missing on a stock NES. All you have to do is add a single resistor between two pins on the bottom extension port on the NES and then you'll be able to hear all sounds from FDS games. This "mod" (if you wanna call it that) has no other effect.
By the way, how's the FF7 ROM? Did you try it yet?
As for the FF7 rom, I can't seem to get it working. I tried it even on my PSP's NesterJ emulator. Maybe you send me a bad dump?
Or maybe my NesterJ is outdated now. What's the latest version?
