GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[E-Man]

Since Agahnim is a huge inspiration for one of my own character I had more many years (yet never bothered to actually include him in any physical works), I really like that bit of news. I love the expression where he looks startled by something. It certainly would make for good cutscene potential.

[Koh]

So I just found out that there's unused sprites of Agahnim in A Link to the Past, and NOBODY anywhere seems to have ever posted them before. I figure this would have been found a long time ago, the sprites are huge.

Am I mistaken, or were they actually put to use in the GBA version?  The diagonal/side casting and releasing sprites at least, unless my memory is faulty.
Perhaps the damage taking sprites too (if you look carefully, the pose is that of Link taking damage).

Only the damaged sprites are unused. Sorry,
I was tired and lazy last night. I just posted the RAM where I found them mixed in.

I have also run around searching for other unused stuff, but so far I only found some unused directions for Lanmola's head. I have a few more bosses to check still.

I enjoy finding strange, unseen things in games that have already been dissected to death. It's fun to see stuff still goes unnoticed.

GOG has been running a pretty huge Summer Sale, for those who don't know. Steam type discounts, no DRM. Right now they have a platformer four-pack with some neato games for just ten bucks... so...

Go-go-go I guess?

Found a really well done animated zelda short with some hyrule warrior models as well as some ocarina of time 3d models

proves nintendo could pull of a movie with little to none voices.

I actually saw that short about one or two days ago from one of my best online friends. I like how the Skull Kid is basically a pawn broker and Midna is giving away bounties.

If it wasn't for the fact that I have Maya, I probably would have giving Source Film Maker a try for CGI animation.

Armikrog is available for preorder on Steam!!!

Also, Tomorrow Corporation (Little Inferno developers) just made a new game called Human Resource Machine. It looks really cool, and they made it in only 9 months!



EDIT: The latest Humble Bundle is also fantastic, full of indie classics. I own all of them except Risk of Rain, and I recommend each one highly.

randomly wondering, but if I were to copy all the files off my n3ds's SD card (that appear using the wifi connection thing) onto my PC, would that effectively copy the games I have on that SD card? would I be able to later paste those same files back on the SD card to play those games again?

Its kinda weird thinking about E-Sports. I mean, we've basically taken the tried and true formula of selling a game with a show in which people compete in it (Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, Beyblade, etc. etc. etc.) and made it real.

These links seem to suggest that it works that way. They're about moving stuff to a new SD card but the point is that if you just copy the data to your PC and don't touch it then you should be able to copy it back later.
Then again, in this thread someone says that you have to cut the files and that copying doesn't work. I honestly wouldn't know since I haven't tried this myself.

I personally wouldn't suggest trying it unless you have a good reason to, and in that case it would probably be good to Google around some more just to be sure.

No. They're tied to your NNID. If you were doing a system transfer, it's all done through the Internet.
Basically, if the games were to be stored on your SD card, it needs the "key" the 3DS provides it with. If there's no "key", there's no games. If there's a "key" and no game on the SD card, you'll just get an error message.
