A close look inside the v64 PM Sprites

[TaeWon]

These PNG, images, are inside the v64 Rom Format, with uncompressed sprites/textures, the 2nd pic shows that there is a "File System" inside the v64, that files are named, you will see the "TIF" image extention at the end, interesting aint it?

Now THATS a weird occurance ! I can't see anything on the second image , what should it be ?

I saw something of that kind in the B-K and Donkey kong roms , i've read the word "ICE KEY" in both roms , and there was something in the Oot rom , too . But i didn't find anything like THAT in a rom !

This is from the Paper Mario ROM, for n64 (USA)

? They're indexes to an image that just happens to be 0x10 or 0x20 across, depending on a nibble or byte per index.

TaeWon? Is it a hacked version of the rom, because I don't think that's normal! Did you checked it with GoodN64? I have to look for it too.
Any other finding, but different then Shadows big ICE KEY! *lol*

That's real ! There's really a mario pic in that rom ! BTW , that pic appears about 3 times near the adress of this one !

Btw , there's nothing like that in the (e) rom

Probably there are some more roms with garbage data? Who knows?
And bigN always told us: "yeah another great release, only for you in a big ... Mbit cartridge..." *lol*
Liers...

 

[Knuckles]

Garbage data? I say Perfect Dark, full of old useless things from Goldeneye and other unused stuff (names/animations/textures/objects/etc.)

and they said they ran out of space and removed stuff.... ppfff!

 

[TaeWon]

Well, its a non-hacked rom, no byte-order reversed or anything, plain simple v64 rom, from Paper Mario, there is several images in the rom, if you scroll down you will see all sorts of animated Marios, even Luigi there, your able to see, images such as "Numbers" (Joystick animated back-forth) etc, all Paper Mario images are uncompressed in this v64 rom, as far as i can tell

anybody is able to tell me what type of textures is used in supercross2000 for the pitch (you know where the textures are messing up with every gfx plugin) ?

 

[SigmaXIX]

woah! that's how they did it! i knew the graphics were kinda strange... but never figured it was a bunch of ANSI art.
