Add M2's Namco Museum Archives (Vol. 1 & 2) #6

Closed vaguerant closed 4 years ago

vaguerant commented 4 years ago

I was able to extract the archives for both volumes of Namco Museum Archives without any real trouble. The command needed for these titles was:

Windows: MArchiveBatchTool.exe fullunpack --keep alldata.psb.m zlib +6ZU4rBUftNHH 64

Linux: ./MArchiveBatchTool fullunpack --keep alldata.psb.m zlib +6ZU4rBUftNHH 64

If it's not clear, the seed argument needed for these games is +6ZU4rBUftNHH. I can't find any references to this seed online, so it may be that these are the first games to use this new value.

After extraction, the following ROMs can be found in system/roms/

Vol. 1

Dig_Dug_jp.NES
Dragon_Buster_jp.NES
Dragon_Spirit_us.NES
Druaga_no_tou_jp.NES
Galaxian_jp.NES
Mappy_jp.NES
pacman_ce.nes
Pac_Man_jp.NES
Sky_Kid_jp.NES
Splatter_House_jp.NES
Xevious_jp.NES

Vol. 2

Battle_City_jp.NES
Dig_Dug_II_jp.NES
Dragon_Buster_II_jp.NES
Galaga_jp.NES
gaplus.NES
Legacy_of_the_Wizard_us.NES
Mappy_Land_jp.NES
Mendel_Palace_us.NES
Pac_Land_jp.NES
Rolling_Thunder_jp.NES
Super_Xevious_Gump_no_Nazo_jp.NES

The most notable of these being Vol. 1's pacman_ce.nes and Vol 2's gaplus.NES, brand new ports of Pac-Man: Championship Edition and Gaplus to the NES/Famicom,

EDIT: Hi, people from the Steam discussion board. For more of a step-by-step guide, you can follow the wiki's instructions on the Castlevania Anniversary Collection here: https://github.com/farmerbb/RED-Project/wiki/Castlevania-Anniversary-Collection The only thing you need to do differently is the command, because Namco Museum uses a different seed to Castlevania.

If you're not familiar with the command line, it's that old-timey black window you get in certain text-based programs. The easiest way to get to that would be to extract MArchiveBatchTool as described in the above Castlevania instructions (put it wherever you want and remember to put the alldata.bin and alldata.psb.m in the same folder), then open that folder in Windows Explorer. Now, click inside the address bar and delete everything in there and just type cmd and press Enter.

This will put you in a command line window directly in that folder, where you can type the command above to extract your games. That should be all you need to do.
