Yes i there's probably something f*****d up in Mega. Another try https://mega.nz/file/5SpCjZYI#kiQbYkM8dr2_Ugj_Qkyv6wOSBOakKhe2l9N9Dvd-k4U I don't understand why this is missing, but you did well.

Resolution seems to be weird too. Don't expect it to fast There are many things to figure out, this game is weird and mazy. But i see no dealbreaking issue for now.

By the way, this one will be difficult for Hypseus. It's very very long. 128k frames ?

Anyway, i think i will be able to do something with your CD-i extract. I managed to convert the mpg to something usable.

1 and 3) corrected games.dat for SAe (it was DLe's data and the reason why you had 2 DLe: https://mega.nz/file/gT5SURoC#UXeIkkL-6kXBsQVOxHrE_zKTSK4mQTD_ZoabHLyFv8M 2) I don't know, works fine here but here is a link to the menu part of Asterix: https://mega.nz/folder/1K5mUbLY#znxx0MiAnaesL3pCd5sQVg

I will have a look at all of this. Note, for the bats i created a separate link with all bats on the first topic.

There's a wonderfull tool to extract PSX: jpsxdec Extracted Hayate with this.

Possible to do 4K yes, but it would require a powerful processor to handle the overlay then (and certainly Lores, which would be already the actual Hires). I mean, Singe for now, doesn't take advantage of the GPU and so the weight is heavy for the processor. And i'd say 4K is actually a kind of bandwith limit actually. For example streamin 4K on Plex is complicated to say the least. Last thing: there are limits to (almost) everything in our (present) world. We're talking about sources which are sometimes 360*240 in 13fs, and some people would like to see them in 4k 60 fps. The best way to achieve would be to rescan the film with a high quality scanner and then there would be no limit (the 4K remasters of the original trilogy of Star Wars are stunning and - that's quite funny - better than the prelogy which was numeric, with a fixed 1080p format). That's the power of analogic over numeric. It's not "quantized", so you have the possibility to divide it in smaller and smaller bits. It's quite the contrary for numeric, the starting definition is the limit and then the only solution is tools like Topaz, which do their magic to guess and fill the gaps. So sometimes i see 4K 60 fps things that had too many gaps to fill. I mean, DL2 in 4k 60fps is not that great. When things are moving fast (quite often), you clearly see that some elements are weird (generally the background is pure fantasy. For example you can check the chase between Dirk and its stepmother in the woods). It's mainly due to 60FPS. Going to 60 means that the AI has to create 37 FPS out of nowhere (!). The reasonnable thing would be to duplicate frames (but that's a lot). As i said, most people ignore that japanese animation is generally 12 or 13 fps (which is the low limit to trick your brain) then doubled. On top of this i would like to add, as i said before, that 60FPS is not the magical number that will solve everything in this world. Great for sport, ok. Great for action games too. But for a movie (and LD are based on movies, so it does apply here), this format reduces motion blur which is an important part of the magic. Like i said before, the Hobbit (48FPS) has a "filmed on iPhone" look. Too precise, and it makes some people sick. So think about this: more is not always better. That doesn't mean it's not possible to do it, but AI need to make even more progress OR there's always the possibility to rescan the the film (which is beyond our scope). To answer your last question, yes i use Topaz, but generally not with fixed models, you get better results by tweaking a lot. And also, Topaz is only one part of the job. I also use some effects in Premiere.

If someone has the complete video source that's a possibility.

YEah i need a rest now, but also i've got one or two ideas in the corner of my mind, so who knows, #22 might come not too late in 2022

Hi, Last thing for this year: DL2e is now updated to 3.31c ! I was really tired of saying "except DL2e" for each update so, one day, i decided to do it. And when i finished, i said to myself, "now finish the trilogy". So it's more the begining than the end after all As a reminder, this is based on the enhanced Rom, which is, if i'm not wrong, not emulated directly by Daphne. This Rom has a better management of the magical objects, unlocking a special (shorter) level 7 if you grabbed them all. Also, the game doesn't force you to restart some levels if you don't have all the objects. By default, the Death Rewind is set to "Last Move" and there's no continue. You earn some extra lives during the game. But of course you might change those options if you wish. Also, now the game allows all the different modes and options of 3.31 DL2 is without any dount, the most difficult of the trilogy, with long series of moves. But it has more storytelling than the other. And maybe the best music. I love it ! Link: https://mega.nz/folder/4e4UhTSL#wDWCs_v3PPMhcDcNfWyT6Q Enjoy those 21 games and see you in 2022 !

Hey tough guy ! Last 2021 release (but there's also an update for one game tomorrow) is the "twin" of Crime Patrol, to complete the ALG collection. Not a big surprise. Not much to say cause it works pretty much the same (you can still choose your starting point from the menu). Link: https://mega.nz/folder/lGgyUAyD#Jr1tuatiXANNk6lCdN400w Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Yeah i think the new formula i use since WSJR is really precise.

Bullet time! As you guessed: The game is restored in HD, with all the addons i made for the previous ALG things. It is based on the previous release by Poiu. You can choose your starting point in the menu (from Rookie to Delta, which is not the difficulty), and various things like difficulty and number of lives. The game is cheesy as hell, as you would expect, and it's part of the fun! Really playable too. Link: https://mega.nz/folder/8eJHzSbT#Hcg9Yw-C0Ijo9FL4BvsVwA Enjoy and see you tomorrow for another release.

Don't have the source for this one.

Yeah the goal was to be able to do anything with the script and i think we're there. Even BD13 should be possible now. Time to rest ! But more games are coming ! Tomorrow is for gunners.

Thank you for pointing it out, i think the script won't evoluate much in the future, only the most crazy bugs left

Yeah, i realized this Here is a correction of the script. I tagged everything 3.31c to avoid jinx So everyone: script now goes to 3.31c... https://mega.nz/folder/IehFVIhD#pwxbPSDWllPs-nbZnQogsA

There's no reason. When level 4 is finished, it's finished. Frames are reattributed for each level. Anyway, the numbers are good, which means he has attributed an end move to move 5 and reach it. And then weirdness. And i can't reproduce even starting from level 4. Edit: ah, i've got something.

Everything is ok. And i've tried 20 times, and can't reproduce. Maybe try to insert this debugPrint(move[5][moveFrmEnd]) at line 2491 in main.singe. And then play level 5 and tell me what you have in the console.

In the meantime, i've updated the Lores and Assets for Space Ace.

Logical from what you described earlier. It would mean a problem in Level 5, scene 1, move 5 but i don't see it. Could you copy you level 5 here ?

And i madethose one

I don't think it will help, it's a frame issue. Apparently it doesn't find the end frame of one move. Which can happen is a move was not well entered (enframe after the startframe of the next move for example). But i've checked the moves and they are ok. And i've got no error message.

I don't understand. I can't reproduce. Works fine here.
