VisitntX's PC-Engine Codes

[orcanaoftime]

No problem about the lives code, I think invincibility should be just fine.

I'm enjoying Bomberman '94, it is a really good game (one of the PC Engine's best).




I have almost tried all of the great patches you made, and they helped me to finish a few games, but a couple I tried recently have the following issues:

Juuouki - patch has no effect. The character still dies after getting hit and does not have inifinte lives.

Veigues Tactical Gladiator - the invincible code works fine in the first level, then the game freezes after beating the 1st boss. ( I was looking forward to this one too - this game is REALLY hard lol)

If you could check these ones it would be great.



Here's a few more I'd like to see trained:


Final Lap Twin ( fun racer - has a quest mode!)
Bloody Wolf
Gekisha Boy (J) [T+Eng]
Night Creatures
Vigilante
Somer Assault
Samurai Ghost
Mr. Heli no Daibouken


Thanks! Awesome work.

Juuouki & Veigues Tactical Gladiator: try to remove the header of the ROMS. There is a program at zophar that let you do it.
I will take care of the others.

Hi VisitntX,

I know Zophar's Domain, great site. Could you tell me the name of the program please? Thanks.

There you have. If the ROM seems to have a header, delete the header, but if the ROM doesn't have one, create one.
The goodset for PC-Engine is the worse of them.

Thanks for the link. Here's what happened after using the program:

Juuouki - now when the character dies, he just lays there and does not return to life.

Veigues Tactical Gladiator - game feezes after pressing run on the title screen.

Maybe I should send you the rom already patched that I have. I will send it to you by mail. Send me a PM with your mail if you wish to.

That's not actually goodpce's fault though, GoodPCE ignores the header so if you feed in a headerless ROM and the same ROM with a header it will recognise it as the same ROM. That's the good thing about the good renamers over a clrmame.dat. Unfortunately if you have a mixture of headered and headerless ROMs to rebuild you will get a goodset consisting of the same.

The MeTool is actually quite good for removing/adding headers but it's list function is rather lacking and it's got not batch header removal functions.

If you feed in all your GoodPCE roms into the brilliant ucon64 you will at the very least get a full good headerless set (not including the baddumps and the overdumps though - some of them have bad headers).

Unzip all your goodpce roms into the ucon dir, rename them all to have the pce extension and give them all a unique 3 character filename (I've attached a bat file that will rename all 855 goodpce roms minus the bad dumps/overdumps and sound rips) - run it and delete any .pce files that haven't been renamed and then run this:-

ucon64 --pce --mgd --int *.pce

This will create a bunch of headerless, non-interleaved roms that you then copy these new pce files into a fresh goodpce directory and run "goodpce rename dirs" on them.

BTW, I've sent you a PM with regards to mess

Ah ucon64, it seems that is more powerful and useful than I thought. Thanks a lot Pugsy, I will do it.
