This is off topic as well, but ever since I found out about n64 hi res gaming, I've been searching for something like this for the snes; such as hi resolution sprites. I haven't found anything, so I was just woindering if anyone knows if such a thing exists. I can just see Metroid 3 remade with a 3d looking samus made from a 3d model! :drool:
I guess Nintendo has fewer but more devoted fans; LOL.
There really would be no feasible way to do something like this on the SNES.. Theres a
lot of technical reasons why, which I won't bother getting into because I don't claim to know the technical specifics very well.. But I've seen this question asked directly to the ZSNES dev team before, and they gave a ton of reasons why it wouldn't work.
Theres a big difference between 2D and 3D systems, and while this could theoretically be applied to just about any 3D system, Hi-Res images are not that clean cut for something like the SNES. As far as 3D on an SNES game goes.. You’re crazy. No offense of course, but for heavens sake, that’s just not realistic in the least. You might as well rewrite the whole bloody game from scratch if that’s what you want to see.. And no one quote me pointing out StarFox, please. StarFox used a special chip inside the cart to achieve those effects, they aren’t native to the SNES hardware and would be (close to) impossible without that chip. Even then, nothing had textures in that game, it was just very rough colored (barely) polygons.
