pokemon stadium - emulate printer from the pokemon snap station #33

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.(this is an enhacement suggestion)
2.find the data for the snap station hardware
3.try to emulate the printer to get .jpg files.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
i think the info of the hardware of the snap station its around there.
it could be emulated to get the snap station area to work (right now it does 
not work) and make a fake emulated printer to get .jpg files.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1964 ultrafast V3 on windows 7 ultimate x64

Please provide any additional information below.
well if it cannot be possible to emulate the printer at least do the necesary 
emulation so we can see how it was and since the game when its finished it 
gives you several cool backrounds (to choose to print) at least be able to 
watch them since are unavaidable only avaidable on the pokemon snap station.

A) There is a separate Pokemon Snap Station rom from what I remember...
B) No Snap Stations exist anymore so there's no hardware to play around with 
and see how it worked
C) They didn't print stickers for free, there were cards with a little metal 
contact on them that you had to insert into the machine. I still have mine 
somewhere.

:\ Sadly, I dont think there is any real documentation on this feature, so it 
would be pretty hard to be able to emulate.

there is a pokemon snap station/stadium snap station roms (i have both and are easy to find on the net)

there are pokemon snap/stadium kiosks out there, but they cost about 2000 usd since they are collectors items. since the printers must be dead (it used a rare and expensive colored thermal paper to print the pictures) it could be emulated. yet this can be overcomed just opening the take a photo mode, choose the pokemon and backround you desire, and take as many .jpg emulator captures as you desire. 1 per fps if you want. its way easier. emulate the printer will be hard since it was 100% propietary nintendo tech, rare to get (no collector will allow to disassemble it to do an emulated version) and there is extra software needed to hack, since you needed a card with credits, that where paid. something like X credits = X prints and was not cheap. so an extra hack to get unlimited credits on the emulation, since the console, the printer and the game checked for credits to allowing the print be made.

now adays with our HD remaster textures is stupid to even try to print. the prints where a resolution of something like 128x128 pixels... it would look like a garbage pixelated old desktop icon. not to mention it needs to emulate the raw thermal print data to a .jpg file...
