| + | About me (very brief!): I have programming experience in Game Boy GB Z-80 (and also Z-80) and Super Nintendo 65c816 assembly languages, plus a few other trivial ones that I rarely use. I have found many debug menus and unused music for several games. I am very liberal. I am voting for Ron Paul for the sanity of our future. I am currently agnostic and when I'm asked if I believe in God or an afterlife, I usually tell people "I do not know and cannot be certain until the very end of life as I know it". I will listen to any genre of music aside from trashy modern-pop/mainstream hip-hop (whatever you want to call it; is there even a defined term for underwhelming and unoriginal music?) and country music. I do enjoy videogame, rock, dubstep, progressive, alternative, grunge, most 1960-1990's music. I feel that most modern videogames are trash and could care less about them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I am interested in math, science, chemistry, linguistics, and philosophy. I have faith in change and that we can all live together one day. I believe technology has uses and admittedly sometimes can be abused resulting in creepy, invasive and morbidly used; infringing on basic privacy and individual rights including censorship, facial recognition gender-detection forensics and other problematic side-effects. I believe that government can be big however too big to fail has proven to be inefficient and leads to more problems than actual benefits for society by inherent definition. People and society as a whole must be careful who we appoint power otherwise many innocent people will be locked away and forgotten about at their whim. I completely oppose war and violence under any circumstance. I also completely oppose the idea of any Police State and morbid techniques used to database people including but not limited to the potential use of their personal information. My username nensondubois is actually a typo formed by (hint: a late 1970's-late 1980's sitcom involving a governor's black butler as the main protagonist. I kind of *did* like the show years ago.) I chose to stick with the name because I was too lazy to have it changed to something interesting and I don't care enough now... actually it caught on so why bother? Moving right along. | ||

About me (very brief!): I have programming experience in Game Boy GB Z-80 (and also Z-80) and Super Nintendo 65c816 assembly languages, plus a few other trivial ones that I rarely use. I have found many debug menus and unused music for several games. I am very liberal. I am voting for Ron Paul for the sanity of our future. I am currently agnostic and when I'm asked if I believe in God or an afterlife, I usually tell people "I do not know and cannot be certain until the very end of life as I know it". I will listen to any genre of music aside from trashy modern-pop/mainstream hip-hop (whatever you want to call it; is there even a defined term for underwhelming and unoriginal music?) and country music. I do enjoy videogame, rock, dubstep, progressive, alternative, grunge, most 1960-1990's music. I feel that most modern videogames are trash and could care less about them.
I am interested in math, science, chemistry, linguistics, and philosophy. I have faith in change and that we can all live together one day. I believe technology has uses and admittedly sometimes can be abused resulting in creepy, invasive and morbidly used; infringing on basic privacy and individual rights including censorship, facial recognition gender-detection forensics and other problematic side-effects.

Game Releases
Hopefully I can find some prototypes so we can all have them.
- SNES Burn-In Test Cart. Lord Nightmare had the dumping equipment, I just sent him the cart for dumping.
- Gamecube Service Disc 1.0/03 - Used LG DVD Drive to rip the ISO.
- Future: Many Game Boy game revisions.
I collect video-games - included, but not limited to actual games, demos, samples, prototypes (lab loaners, lab lenders, or lab donors I've even heard) and consoles. I already have an elaborate collection; ranking 4??th in the world's largest game collectors.
Personal projects/things of interest

- FIFA 98, (several unused jungles and a few songs)
- 98 World Cup (several unused jungles and a few songs)
- Olympic Summer Games (Unused jingles that are only in the Game Boy's sound code (not Super Game Boy) also present in the Sega Genesis version.)
Game Boy Advance
- Wario Ware Twisted (The microgame Synchro... unused song... sample for Taxi Sinatra. Use two and two to put this one together)
- Much more to list (too many) I need to actually list these before I make more things todo.
SNES
- Super Scope 6 (Several unused songs and jingles)
- Harley's Humongous Adventure (There is an unused song, and a slightly 'fuller' sounding version of the Main Theme.)
- Pro Mahjong Kiwame Games
- Super Game Boy 1 and 2 Anti-Piracy Message and unused test palette.
- Wario's Woods Unused Music
BS-X
BS Digital Magazines (almost all of them have unused music, and who knows what else)
Regional/Revisionary Differences
- Pro Mahjong Kiwame GB Reprint
- Super Mario Land 1.0 and 1.1 (soundtrack and slight gameplay differences)
- Centipede GB/GBC versions (Four exist and all have different code and label variations including unused content leftover from Arcade Classics)
Unused content that I swear exists but have yet to document
- Tetris Attack (SNES) Years ago on my Not For Resale copy I recall beating the game on 1 Player VS mode on the extra difficulty setting and getting a button password for an extensive debug CPU options mode. I'll have to look into this at some point.
Other
Things that I'm curious about and have yet to find answers...
- Game & Watch Gallery 2 US GB Version
Game Boy Nintendo Power Games released in 2000 that supposedly have SGB and GBC functions; games include
- Alleyway
- Contra
- Yakuuman
- Donkey Kong '94
- Super Mario Land
- Tennis
- Golf
- Baseball(?)
- Tetris (Not to be confused with Tetris DX)
- Solar Striker
- Dr. Mario
- Radar Mission
- F-1 Race
- Pro Mahjong Kiwame GB (not to be confused with reprint version)
and others
SPC Sets I'm working on 2012/13/04
- Dirt Racer
- A few others listed on the SNESmusic.org help wanted page.
AND NO! I will not be doing the Shanghai 3 SPC set. Dumping soundtracks for Ear-bleeding music composed by completely deaf musicians is out of the question and not worth my time and patience; find someone else to do that, not me.
Finish my game collection
I am ranking 4??th in having one of the world's largest gaming collections.
P.S. I really don't care how awful this page looks =P
