Estpolis Denki II NTSC-JAP Prototype

Am I the only one who prefers the prototypes tile set to the final one?

 

Maybe he had to restart the game due to the bridge issue earlier and changed his name

At first I would say "The prototype looks better" but in end the final looks way better with right colours and so.

Overworld tile set looks cool though but for town it's mostly changed colours.

 

Hello,

I don't restart the game. just used my old save to buy escape item.
I have a shoes in the Maxim's name lol I don't know why perhaps it's because I have a poison or anything like that when enemy fight me.

I prefer the proto too.

Here is the apu log file and one other log file.

 

Enter Pro Action Replay code 9EA3C90D and then use Reset in the emulator (the code needs to be on and active before the game boots up) Is there any sound?

 

Just test PAR code but no sound and no picture!

 

Hmm, it was worth a try. The search continues...

 

Level 7:









Level 8:





Hard part start:

 

I wonder how hard it is to get through that on the proto version

 

Seems it wasnt too hard for you

 

The first real boss:

 

So said by previous owner it is said the prototype crashes after you beat Catfish and go further... Lets see

 

Boss is dead, level 9 and no crash.

 

Can someone bring me up to speed on this?? Seems really interesting but I don't wanna read 6 pages. The cart was damaged and he can only get certain assets from the game?

 

No bridge so i used escape item:



Outside:

 

No, the game is now playable - but without audio.

 

I played the game from start to here.



escape item cost 200:



Re-enter in a room at Lake Cave:









Just after this screen I have a black screen and game crash:

 

Sent you a message with instructions for creating a log file for that crash

 

TL;DR version: The prototype was put on ebay as corrupted after the dump mistake happened and it wouldn't run on SNES anymore (after intro). OP of this thread owns the prototype now and dumped it again but correctly, but due to previous mistakes there's some bytes that are wrong or whatever (not smart on that part). Forum member JLukas is doing great work now for getting the prototype running again but without sound like said and so Trevor is playing it now on an emulator.

The prototype is way different from the final and a lot of different sprites, tiles, and possible music and sound (which can't be checked now since it isn't working)

 

How would a failed dump corrupt the ROM?? I mean nothing was being written to the cartridge correct??
