xx NSF Update
August 15, 2008, 02:27:32 PM by Gil Galad
Today I have seven NSFs for you to listen to. Five commercial released games and two from Shenzhen Nanjing Technology. You may notice Chrono Trigger on the list, for those that want to know more about this crazy Chinese Famicom game, go check out an article written by D (Derrick Sobodash). The other Shenzhen Nanjing Technology game is Chao Ji Ji Qi Ren Da Zhan A (NJ012), I believe this game is Super Robot Wars A.

Among the other NSF rips, I am not sure if Ball Story II is commercial or not. Umiliphus had stated that it was odd that Desert Commander was missing from the archives. Well, now that problem has been solved as the NSF is now ripped. I'm going to state the entire list now.

  • Ball Story - Jong Yuk Chuen Suet Fa Jong II
  • Crackout (Prototype)
  • Desert Commander
  • Family Feud
  • [NJ012] Chao Ji Ji Qi Ren Da Zhan A
  • [NJ038] Shi Kong Zhi Lun (Chrono Trigger)
  • Othello

You can get the NSFs HERE

xx NSFs and More Again
August 01, 2008, 12:47:02 AM by Gil Galad
I have just released nine NSF rips for you to listen to in your favorite player of choice. The rips are as follows.

King of Fighters 96
NJ035 - Tian Long Ba Bu
NJ069 - Tang Bo Hu Dian Qiu Xiang
NJ073 - Wu Lin Wai Zhuan
NJ074 - YiXing (NJ074) (Alien Vs. Predator)
NJ080 - Xian Jie Jing Ling
Street Fighter Zero 2 '97
Tamura Koushou Mahjong Seminar
Tsuri Kichi Sanpei - Blue Marlin Hen

A note about some of these rips.

NJ0xx are from Shenzhen Nanjing Technology games. You may be familiar with some of the tunes from other games, as this company not only uses nearly the same sound driver for every game, and some of the same tunes.

Street Fighter Zero 2 '97 - The first tune plays at about 5000 MS of silence, so if you use NotSoFatSo or a player that switches tunes after a certain length of silence, set the config to about 5000 MS.

I have also done a little minor site maitenence, along with adding a page for Gall Force - Eternal Story (FDS), which is a shooter. The translation for the game is nearing completion. However, I won't state an exact date since I have encountered a couple of problems that need worked out.

Well, this is the end of the update, enjoy.

A simple make should do it, as it doesn't include a binary.

Hopefully one day soon someone will make a plugin Wink

xx Storehouse No.18 V. 1.0
July 27, 2008, 11:23:57 AM by Gil Galad

Today I present you with the 100% complete Russian to English translation of the game Warehouse No.18, which has been re-titled to Storehouse No.18. Originally designed for play on the Dendy, a unlicensed Russian Famicom clone console system.

As far as the game is concerned, Storehouse No.18 is a Sokoban clone. For those that are familiar with Sokoban, know that the objective of the game is to push boxes around in a maze to their designated storage spaces. There are two modes to this game, Game mode and Editor mode. In game mode, you simply play the game and select the storehouse that you wish to play according to ID number. In Editor mode, you can design your own storehouses and then play them afterwards.

To my knowledge, this is the first Russian to English ROMhack fan translation. All text has been translated to English, windows resized in some cases to accommodate longer or shorter lines of text. ASM hacking has been done to remove the hack protection scheme that prevents the altering of certain bytes in the ROM, the effect is that the game will stall in reset mode if the check fails. The annoying grey screen before the title screen loads has been reduced to one frame so that you barely notice it exists.

If you wish to play this Russian to English translation, go to the page Here, download the patch and then have fun.
