Your post doesn't comply with the marketplace rules:

Please update it to comply with the rules within 24 hours.

Furthermore, I'm not sure whether most of these items are allowed under the rules, anyway:

Whilst I realize that these are hacks or releases for territories in which they were not released, the labels are deliberately made to look like retail. Collectors may know, but not everyone would. You SHOULD NOT put "licensed by Nintendo" on a reproduction. It is not licensed by Nintendo, that's a false statement and therefore fraudulent.

I will discuss with ASSEMbler.

 

Hi retro. I'll repost pics this evening.

 

Pics edited.

 

Just me, or are the pics not loading?

 

uppix.com seems down . it was working fine a hour ago.

 

Yeah... your photos were a little slow loading before you changed them, now they won't work at all!

You didn't have to crash their site just to get out of changing your photos!

 

ha ha ^^.
Believe me, if I had such power I wouldn't crash a small image hosting website, but I would certainly threaten some major companies. Muahahahha.

Anyway it's working for me, but still really slow.

Edit: Dang I posted twice the same pics.

 

Zelda Parallel Worlds Remodel SOLD.

 

Doesn't overclocking Starfox 2 screw with the game, since it runs on rails and relies on a timer to trigger specific in-game events?

 

Nope. I've tested all the carts in order to test the saves and I went trought the game without any prob.
Also SF2 doesn't run on rails like SF: the battle in space/planet/asteroid/ships your are totally free to move.

 

1* Star Fox 2 NTSC SOLD

 

1 * Metal Warrior PAL SOLD

 

Update price with euros,
I've also added the possibility of a PAL french version for Tales of Phantasia.

I'll be in France for next week, it will be your last chance to have reduced shipping costs for Europe!

 

Does overclocking actually do anything? From what I read, the whole 'overclocking SuperFX' games was a big ruse made up by Drakon to make his repros more attractive.

 

From my test there's some differences. I've tested with stunt race FX and Starfox 2 and some 54mhz and 50mhz Crystal. At 54mhz I have a lot of glitches and crash. At 50mhz Stunt Race is more fluid and SF2 you can feel the difference like at the beginning when you see the androsses' battleship jumping to hyper speed.
Don't expect a magic solution to double the frame rate or keeping a stock 60fps, but it does help a bit to not crawling at slow FPS when there's lot of stuff at screen.

Here's some pics of my repros. I've removed the whole oscillation circuit from a stunt race FX PCB and put a 50mhz crystal oscillator and a 3.3 voltage regulator on an adaptor who fits into the old 74HC04 of the pcb. You can also see the adaptor for the maskrom and the super CIC.

Sorry for the quality of the pics.

 

Hmm, 'feeling the difference', how about something slightly more technical like grabbing the video and counting the actual frame rate?

 

Ok, back from France, no more discount on shipping.

- 1 * Starfox 2 PAL Sold
- 1 * Metal Warrior PAL Sold
- Tales of Phantasia PAL is removed because people complained about wacky sounds in 50hz.

Counting the frame rate? How? If I make a capture it will be a fixed frame rate. The rom I use doesn't have the debug display (it does have a "debug" in the menu but it's more like a scene test).
The only thing I can do is a capture on my setup and let you compare with others videos, but there's a lot done on emulator (so they are even more fluid). I made some quick tests but it will take some times to make something neat.

 

I think what he's asking is does overclocking the chip increase the frame rate (i.e. draw more frames per second, making the game smoother without actually speeding up the gameplay) or just increase the speed at which the already rendered frames are displayed (i.e. making the game smoother simply by speeding it up; making everything run faster).
I believe the concern is because the original StarFox still renders exactly the same frames whether overclocked or not, but simply displays them faster when overclocked (speeding up the gameplay). Basically like saying I can make a movie 48fps by playing it back at 2x. It's not smoother per say, just faster.

 

Ok I didn't understand like that.

Then, it's "faster", which is kind of logical since game at this time didn't use Delta Time as reference, but console's internal clock speed or in the case of super FX an external clock circuit with a Crystal oscillator).

Since some scenes (like the Andross' starships jump, or the ship cut in half in the intro) are really slow on repro and when you saw them on emulator you understand that the GSU cannot handle them at normal speed, and yes sorry for the non-technical term, "feel" more natural.

I found my tripod and I'll make a video presenting the cartmod and capture some gameplay footage.
