Errors in new translation for Thracia 776 #94

Closed mabrilG closed 5 years ago

mabrilG commented 5 years ago

Have been released a new fan translation for Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. The game begins but have corrupted graphics and fonts errors. This patch game only work in some emulators like is described in the web page of the autors because the ROM has been expanded.   Maybe can support this type of roms.

Thanks.

Does it work on real console and sd2snes? If not, maybe the translation hack needs to be improved to work on real console first?

BTW, big rom (6mb+) support on the MiSTer was added a while ago for Star Ocean.

optiroc on discord said it's "reversed ExLoROM",, no other game does something similar to this. @sorgelig can update Main_MiSTer to support this kind of rom, or the developer could just convert it to standard ExLoROM for it to work.

sorgelig commented 5 years ago

why need change the core for a single weird ROM instead to ask the translator make it standard?

Kitrinx commented 5 years ago

Normally I would agree that adding a one-off exception for a single hack would just be clutter.

So, after discussing this, it seems the only way make a LoROM game larger than 4mb is to either add a special chip to it, which is difficult and makes repros hard, or to invent a new mapper "ExLoROM". This game being LoROM the authors chose to make it ExLoROM. SNES9X recently added support for this mapping with this kind of scenario in mind, and I think it is likely that we see more of these pop up in the future, now that it is becoming supported by other things.

It's a high profile game and we have support for things like the Star Ocean hack, so maybe it's not that unreasonable to add for now and for the future.

Edit: SD2SNES also supports ExLoROM it seems.

It was my lack of sleep talking when I said “reversed ExLoROM” – this is indeed (the one example of?) ExLoROM.

I concur with Kitrinx; it is a sound (and simple) extension to regular mode 0x20 that won’t break any existing games, and seems as such a very reasonable addition to SNES_MiSTer.
