Hey there. What happened to the word document I posted on the Saturn Castlevania page? I noticed you made some changed, but the "Developer Notes" link is giving me a 404 error. Did I err in uploading that document? ReyVGM 23:54, 23 June 2012 (EDT)

Forget it. I was able to access the page now. I guess the site is having trouble loading pages today. ReyVGM 23:57, 23 June 2012 (EDT)

Hmm, that's strange. I was about to see if anyone else was having trouble accessing it, but I guess it's not a problem.

Anyway, I decided to move it to the subpage since I thought it would be better for translation and commentary purposes (someone in the IRC channel has actually partially translated it already - unless it's already been translated by someone else, in which case that would be a nice addition to the page :P) --Devin 00:00, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

So far no one has translated that document. This site has been incredibly slow for me today. The actual pages load fine, but when I click "edit", it takes up to a minute to load a page. Are you the same as Devin Morgan? 00:48, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

The slowness is known to be an issue; unfortunately, TCRF is kind of on a dodgy server, but the admins are in the process of getting a better one set up, so it hopefully shouldn't be an issue for too much longer. And no, I'm not Devin Morgan. --Devin 00:53, 24 June 2012 (EDT)

Hey, thanks for the edit on Battle Cars. I don't know much about ROM hacking, so to me that "FrikPod!" thing just looked like a random string. --hoodoo456 12:49 PM, 8/29/2012 (Pacific Time)

Regarding the Duke Nukem series template

It was in order of release anyway, the Windows versions of Duke Nukem 1 & 2 came out in 2013, whilst Manhattan Project was released in 2002. However, if you meant in order of original release dates, then I understand what you mean and I'll keep that in mind in the future.

OMG YOU THIEF

SRSLY GO EF YO SELF. I was wondering if the other games had similar debug menus, but I guess you just answered that question. AEIOU, AEIOU, AEIOU. // Foxhack 00:28, 20 May 2013 (EDT)

that easter egg on SRB2... it is Easter Eggs Allowed on TCRF? You Forgot The Minor Details! (talk) 12:02, 6 March 2014 (EST)

We don't really have any explicit rules about easter eggs, though I (and others) consider them similarly to cheat codes (i.e. they should ideally never have been documented anywhere else, or otherwise they should have something to do with other content that is unused). --Devin (talk) 20:35, 8 March 2014 (EST)

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (SNES) Graphic Viewer

How exactly did you come about the unlock method in this game (I understand you hijacked the pause routine, but how did you find the call to the actual display?) This text is also present in all games after it (all Street Fighter II variants that is), and I can only assume that the graphic viewer is accessible within them as well(unless it was scrapped and only text remains).--Abystus (talk) 15:33, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

As far as I can tell, it is not accessible in either Turbo or Super (and both of those have some "Coming Soon" text that I don't think is used anymore either). As far as how to access it - I basically just found a pointer to some of the text on that screen, which is part of a table containing pretty much all the on-screen text in the game, found the code that displays text form that table, and then found where the index of that specific text was passed to the routine. From there I just kept searching backwards through code calls until I couldn't find any more references to the code I was looking at, then just jammed a call to that into the pause routine. (I don't remember the details of where the text routine or anything like that is located, since I apparently didn't save my extremely terse notes. Oh well.) --Devin (talk) 18:14, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

Any more info about Touhou01 internals?

I wonder if you know anything interesting about it. I plan to make tas of it, so any info about game physics would be appreciated. At my current level I don't know even how to disassemble or debug it, nor anything about machine architecture it runs on. --Michikaze (talk) 17:31, 4 June 2014 (EDT)

Unfortunately I never really did that much poking around with the disassembly after I started that article (I never even bothered to finish figuring out the "real" way to enable the debug displays, which is why I just posted a hacked-up EXE file instead).

The only reason I was able to do so in the first place was because most (or all?) PC-98 games are just regular MS-DOS programs written for a somewhat different hardware configuration, so they can be loaded into IDA Pro or pretty much any other PC disassembly tool. There are a couple of PC-98 emulators with rudimentary debugging/code logging features, but I don't remember which ones they are and I remember not finding them particularly usable at all... --Devin (talk) 18:01, 4 June 2014 (EDT)

I actually (sort of) found some unused content for Scott Pilgrim.

Scrapped Midboss.

I found out that there was a scrapped midboss for the game named Winifred Hailey. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cookieman9000 (talk • contribs)

D Dash

Yeah I was trying to create redirects so that people could find the game by typing 'D Dash' or 'Dixdaef". I was then going to redirect it a third time to the original page title. ReyVGM (talk) 15:58, 21 November 2014 (EST)

Please don't move/rename pages just for the purpose of creating redirects; just create a redirect from scratch instead.

Also, "Dixdaef" is not a valid alternate title for D' — that name comes from an incorrect reading of the text on the title screen which is actually "D dash" written in the International Phonetic Alphabet. This has already been removed from the article at least once before. --Devin (talk) 16:08, 21 November 2014 (EST)

Request? Toride (Super Famicom)

Hi Devin! Thanks a lot for creating the page about "Hana no Keiji". And many others of course... If you don't mind, I wanted to ask you something. When you have some time, can you please check the ROM of the SNES game "Toride"? I read somewhere that the game has ROM text (credits) but I have no idea how to see it. I'm not an expert. Thanks in advance. --SNESlover (talk) 23:48, 28 November 2014 (EST)

I looked at the ROM and found some English text related to credits, but it just looked like the game's regular credits sequence, not anything unused or hidden... --Devin (talk) 10:40, 5 December 2014 (EST)

Thanks for checking it. Can you still copy/paste the text to my talk page? Thanks a lot. --SNESlover (talk) 01:14, 6 December 2014 (EST)

Rewording

Since when are minor revisions of wording not allowed? Especially in the case of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, which I altered to remove the first person, which is frowned upon. --AquaBat (talk) 23:54, 26 December 2014 (EST)

SMB2J

In what way is that World 9 feature irrelevant? --ShaneM (talk) 02:15, 27 January 2015 (EST)

There's a pretty short list of things that this website is intended to document; hidden (but used) levels aren't one of them. This isn't GameFAQs. --Devin (talk) 02:18, 27 January 2015 (EST)

The point was not to talk about World 9, but an undocumented mean in getting there. ShaneM (talk) 02:40, 27 January 2015 (EST)

It's really not all that interesting or relevant, honestly. Did Nintendo ever specifically state that you could not use warp zones, period, or was that perpetuated over the years by players that didn't bother to try warping backwards? --BMF54123 (talk) 04:00, 27 January 2015 (EST)

Actually, Nintendo did. Look at the 1993 Nintendo Power Player's Guide and you will see on page 65 that it erroneously says so. ShaneM (talk) 12:28, 27 January 2015 (EST)

I'm only interested in original, official Nintendo of Japan sources, not a US player's guide released seven years after the FDS release. --BMF54123 (talk) 14:53, 27 January 2015 (EST)

My own....game?

Hello. As much as I understand that content about fangames and hacks must not be discussed on the main pages, I actually made an original title which is even on Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryans.dynamitealex Could I do a page on that? -SMB Madman (talk) 15:17, 16 February 2015 (EST)

It's an original game, not a fangame or hack, so sure. What we really take issue with most is games that have "unused" content that was added/retained solely so the author could advertise their game on the wiki. Don't do that and you're fine. --BMF54123 (talk) 16:25, 17 February 2015 (EST)

Just a brief hello and some explanation.

First off, I just wanna start off by saying "hello again". I admit this new account is the same person behind SkytheAvian, and I'll gladly accept my ban after you read and consider my message. I know that disrespecting the staff of a wiki is a serious offense, but I also know wikis exist as a means for a community to provide a knowledge base for each other, and for those who are simply curious about certain topics. I know that nothing I can do could ever change what I did, but I hope you'll let me explain myself, and maybe we could even come to an agreement regarding my other account's ban. As much as I hate going the sob-story route, I feel like I should mention that roughly 48 hours prior to the incident that got me banned, I lost an item very precious to me; a virtual item worth nearly $150 (an Unusual hat in Team Fortress 2, though I hate to admit it), which was greedily stolen from me in a PayPal scam that nearly made me quit the game entirely. I know this doesn't excuse or justify my actions, but surely you understand how it feels to lose something valuable as a result of misplaced trust. In short, I was actually, genuinely depressed after that incident and, in my emotional state, ended up taking it out on your fellow admin in a ridiculous edit war. I am deeply sorry for my actions, and, should you decide to unblock my old account, promise that I will have learned from my actions. (Though I can't honestly promise that all of my future edits would be entirely "useful", per se.) Also, as a final note, the reason I'm not using email is because the browser I use doesn't seem to like using cookies. I would be willing to talk about it if you need further explanation, or even just to lecture me about respect and whatnot. Mesouse (talk) 14:32, 22 June 2015 (EDT)

Help

Look man i know you don't do placeholder pages but four swords is well over a decade old not to mention it's a fucking zelda game maybe not the best or even nearly so but its still worthy of atleast meantioning. so i think it's time to look into it. Sadly though i cannot my self as i am shit at coding and can't do squat. So please help.

P.S: i found some still working but otherwise unused warp symbols in phantom hourglass i have a lengthy section about it on the phantom hourglass discussion page but nothing has happened in the months since. Hoped you could take a look. Also ps i don't have video or pictures cause i have no reasonable way of creating any that wouldn't be 120p shit that is shaky and entirely unusable. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shadowninja938 (talk • contribs)

Super 3D Noah's Ark (SNES) Debug Stuff

I know the Super 3D Noah's Ark (SNES) page says "To do: Find the proper way of accessing these. Everything's still intact in the code as far as I can see, but I can't be bothered to give this game any more effort." since 2011, but could you try these cheats? --Frenkel (talk) 16:53, 31 July 2019 (EDT)

Proto:Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)

Hi. The material on the Prerelease page simply consists of information extrapolated from magazine articles, SpaceWorld footage, etc. The iQue leaks does not concern prerelease information, but rather data and other assets extracted directly from the game's development (i.e. things meant for prototype builds). Therefore, it makes more sense to categorize the iQue content as a Prototype article. This would also make it consistent with other articles devoted to the iQue leaks, like Proto:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Proto:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/iQue. Thanks for understanding. --Rollerblade (talk) 21:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

I know, and we're currently deliberating on how exactly the stuff from the leaks should be organized, but for the time being I'd prefer not having users singlehandedly decide where to move existing pages. --Revenant (talk) 21:39, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

The Zelda pages are really the exception to the rule. E.g. for some reason the N64 Zelda pages have for a long time used "proto" for debug versions that aren't really protos. --Hiccup (talk) 09:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

DLC template

I thought an expansion pass is basically dlc. Why would the expansion template need to list “expansion pass” especially if not every game with dlc will have an expansion pass?

Yoshi’s Island (talk)

Hello!

Why did you revert my edits to Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters? The information I added was written in my own words. I believe you have made a mistake, and I know my edits were constructive! --WingedWarrior (talk) 04:35, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

We're not Wikipedia or MobyGames; none of the information you added was actually relevant to the purpose of this site. It was also extremely obvious that you just copied multiple entire sections from the game's Wikipedia article and changed the wording slightly to make it appear "original". Nice try, though. --Revenant (talk) 04:41, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

That's the whole point of putting it in my own words. Check this page out. This has some information: Watch Dogs is a 3rd person shooter where you play as hacker Aiden Pearce, as he seeks revenge against those responsible for the death of his niece, plays drinking games and solves chess puzzles. --WingedWarrior (talk) 04:44, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

There's a difference between having a one-sentence summary at the top of an article and adding multiple entire sections of text that have nothing to do with what this site is intended to document. --Revenant (talk) 04:47, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Oh I get you! So I can add a sentence, two, or few, but just not add an entire article or multiple header sections? --WingedWarrior (talk) 04:48, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song page

Hey there, I wanted to create the page for the Romancing SaGa PS2 remake, but I see there is a deletion log for the page from 2014. Before I decide to disregard that notice because it's old, I figured I should ask you first. Is there something I should know before I go ahead? Zidane4028 (talk) 22:24, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead. It was originally deleted just for being a placeholder page without any content, but as long as you actually have something to put on the page then feel free to make it again. --Revenant (talk) 16:22, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Okay, great. I will go ahead and create the page. Thanks so much for getting back to me. Zidane4028 (talk) 04:56, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

About Sonic 2 Runner

Hi, I saw that you deleted the alternative title Sonic 2 (2013). I understand that at first glance it seems like a stupid name for "Runner", but it's true. When I took screenshots, and just decided to make a backup copy of the game through ES Explorer, that's what it was called. However, there is one "BUT", this is only in the Sega Forever Edition. I'll throw in the proof so you can make sure it's not fake. Note: com.sega.sonic2 is the old version before Sega Forever re-release. AlexFanGames231 (talk) 22:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
