Just wanted to give everybody a heads up. The Steam discussion for extracting the games from this collection has been removed. I suspect it was done by Valve themselves since they also closed this toxic thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1137970/discussions/0/3046104862462154807/

I'd add this to the existing issue for this git project, but that issue was closed.

The thread for extracting the Disney Aladdin/Lion King collection was removed as well. Maybe they are actively hunting down extraction method discussions or it's the publishers/devs complaining. Speaking of... Hopefully there will be an update to extract the DLC for the Disney games as well? :)

Knowing this, I suspect Disney is the reason then. They are the common denominator. They are very protective of their IP too.

I think you're right on it being Disney. I'm pretty sure there was a thread on the Disney Afternoon Collection as well but nothing there now.

My Steam thread for extracting games from the Castlevania Anniversary Collection was removed a few months back as well. Strangely though the one for Contra Anniversary Collection (which was more or less identical) was left up.

Hi, original poster of the Steam thread that Valve/Disney/DotEmu/Satan/whomever removed. Needed to dig through my text files since I am disorganized as all get out:

Within the executable, "ZAMN_GP.exe", here are the hex values where the ROMs are located:

Release [1.0] build:

Steam version: Zombies Ate My Neighbors: 1B0974C - 1C0974B Ghoul Patrol: 19A03C0 - 1AA03BF

GOG version: Zombies Ate My Neighbors: 1B0654C - 1C0654B Ghoul Patrol: 199D1C0 - 1A9D1BF

1.1 Hotfix update: (Current version as of 8/16/21)

Steam version: Zombies Ate My Neighbors: 1B0BD4C - 1C0BD3F Ghoul Patrol: 19A29C0 - 1AA29BF

GOG version: Zombies Ate My Neighbors: 1B0894C - 1C0894B Ghoul Patrol: 199F5C0 - 1A9F5BF

The ROMs should be given the .sfc extension to maximize the number of compatible emulators. If copied over successfully, the ROMs will be 8Mb/1MB in size and be identical the verified good SNES NTSC-U dumps of both games with all data and level codes left completely intact.

(EDIT: If you want to add this to the RED-Project proper, please feel free. I'd rather this information gets shared around as much as possible than be scarce and hard to come by.)

Thank you. This is good stuff. Just had a brief look using HxD. But since I know next to nothing about hex editing I need to educate myself how this thing work. (Couldn't find "1B0894C" on the Offset (h))

This could definitely be a part of the RED-Project. However, on a general basis, if hex editing is required, it might be a good idea to include the how-to on that as well.
