This seems as good a place as any to ask.I have a PS2 slim that doesn't boot. No idea what's wrong with it and I don't care to fix it either. Are there any people or companies in Australia you can suggest that might be willing to take it off my hands? Seems like a waste to throw it out.

>>10868042Thanks for posting these, I've been saving them in Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) for several threads, should anyone want to download them after the original links will have expired.I didn't save any links to the threads themselves, though.
>>10869014No problem (it's a fun (and easy) way of contributing to the best /vr/ thread), and thank you for further backing them up! These threads, with their links, should also be automatically preserved by various /vr/ archive sites. I'm a big fan of having as many back-ups as possible, however, so thank you again for doing this anon. I keep and am interested in most of games I post here, but not all, so everyone else's participation with this is definitely valuable.
>>10868042Whats the deal with these?
>>10869080Sorry for the trouble and confusion. I couldn't post them normally because I already posted too many links and so I was getting a "Our system thinks your post is spam.

>>10862120What shit do you want to make with it? I can definitely give you advice there.
Since I saw a couple of references to assembly languages in this thread, I thought I would recommend this book:https://archive.org/details/6502_Assembly_Language_ProgrammingI eventually settled on 68k Genesis development but I credit this book with helping the core concepts of assembly language programming to finally click with me. Also I think in my experience, I avoided a certain amount of frustration by spending a little while getting acquainted with and understanding how to program a cpu before I even got started on a development tutorial. Good luck.
>>10873912> learning 6502https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/Truly love this little demo, it kickstarted me into my journey. 6502 is a great jumping off point into learning ASM, it's simple enough to grasp the entire set without having to worry about the more advanced features of later processors. minus some very strange quirks of 6502 but you don't have to worry much about those imohttps://www.masswerk.at/6502/6502_instruction_set.htmlhandy instruction set page, has bailed me out more times than i can count.> I eventually settled on 68k Genesis development but I credit this book with helping the core concepts of assembly language programming to finally click with me.I've had a similar experience learning 6502 first and branching elsewhere, pun intended. Once you can read one instruction set / assembler syntax, it opens up a world where you can vaguely read them all and sort of hop into whatever architecture you like. Love my new super powers.

I appreciate whatever you do, anon!>>10870649Does this insert SJW/literal transsexual political garbage into it (like the original Celeste series does) or is it free from that and just has similar gameplay to that series? I'm interested, but I just don't want to support actual fag, insecure demagogue shit.>>10875021This is very cool! Thank you! So far, I got "Luigi's Mansion 64", "I Wanna Be the FF" and "Ys 0 NES (ips file)". If I figure out what games these are supposed to be patched with, I will share 'em with yoy here.>>10870479These look promising (the Link's Awakening one is impressive, but shouldn't try to look as much like ALttP as possible, in my opinion). I recently heard SMSPower was trying to work on getting MSX2 ports to work on Master System, speaking of which.

I'm interested, but I just don't want to support actual fag, insecure demagogue shit.Just finished it last night, and it's free from any of that shit, or even any story, really, it's just pure high-quality gameplay. I haven't played Celeste, so I don't know how similar the gameplay feels, but I loved it.
Making progress on a map editor (yeah, I was using notepad before).
>>10875626Thank you anon. This was helpful, especially since you have no bias towards the "original inspiration" for it. I'm excited to give it a play soon, now.
Btw, I found a old japanese romhack of fire red made by the people of 2chan. Its called vipmonster, its on japanese and it never had a english translation. You can find the hack in herehttps://w.atwiki.jp/vipmonster.There are 2 or 3 getuploader.com links on that page that may have contained older versions of the hack or something else, but they were taken down for whatever reason. The only link that its working is this onehttps://u4.getuploader.com/vipmon.Here is a mirror for the romhttps://pomf2.lain.la/f/ri3mto9a.gba

I've got a .cdi of a Dreamcast homebrew game which isn't shared (at least, as far as I know) but I want to convert it to .gdi before I share it - does anyone know how to do that or at least can anyone here pledge they'd upload that .gdi conversion if I did share the .cdi?
>>10861021>Would you like to learninterested in doing game translations, no preferences for platforms, just want to get some experience in doing it first. Not sure where to start? I assume old console games are harder than PC games to reverse engineer and inject into
>>10884241lmfao what a faggot
>>10884241Ignore that gay guy that first replied to you. Someone here will help you with this, anon (I don't know much about DC file formats, so I can't, unfortunately). Thank you for sharing.
>>10885105>Thank you for sharing.No sharing was done, my little circle jerker. He couldn't even share the name of this super secret L@@K R@RE game. lmfao. Converting from cdi to gdi is generally very easy, and if he had shared he'd have his GDI. But he chose to be a faggot, so doesn't.
>>10884684Learning how to write basic assembly for the target platform is a good place to start, at least for older systems (in my opinion). You could spend hours messing with script injection tools (cartographer, atlas, etc.) or poking around in a debugger, but it will be hard to process what's happening without being able to read the code.But no matter your approach, it's probably best to find a game you're interested in and stick with that. Translating a game can be pretty brutal, so you're gonna need all the help you can get to stay motivated.
>>10884684>Not sure where to start?Become fluent in the languages you want to translate to/from. Come back in 9001 years when you have achieved this to receive the next step.
>>10884241A Dreamcast homebrew game being .cdi is normal, because those all come on CDs, there isn't a reason to convert to another format because it's unnecessary, anything that can play Dreamcast games can use the .cdi format with very few exceptions
>>10884241Why can't you just share the cdi?
>>10884684>Not sure where to startLooking for the premade tools to extract scripts from the game of your choice and insert them back. The game of your choice really, really matters because if you don't care about it, you will never ever finish it 100% (vs 95% if you do care).A good candidate would be a game with existing fan translation to a different language and a way to contact its fanTL team for assistance.

>>10898541Yes and I never used cheats.The first double digit to Kirby's Palette was changed to fit in the background layer, so I thought this what might cause the error since I typed only 3 of double digits and there was a shit-ton of em, but this idea is just tech-illiterate, even for me.
