that must be why it sounds so familiar, since the 3DS romhack scene uses RomFS for creating romhacks for Mario and Pokemon games, which is how I just assumed that NCA files were so similar to CIA files, while the Switch is most likely going to use NCAFS files for romhacks.

From the manual:

NCA
A file format used as an executable application image and as a data container.

NSP
NSP files contain multiple NCA files corresponding to the program, management data, and manual types, in addition to ticket data and other metadata for management, forming the unit for applications on NX

NCD
A directory layout format with the same logical structure as an NCA file. NCD directories are created when building applications using NX-VSI. They are formulated in the following way.

NSPD
A directory layout format with the same logical structure as an NSP file. NSPD directories are created when building applications using NX-VSI. They are formulated in the following way.

phew, that's enough for tonight. decided to just use whatever blocks i had on hand after a while for the outer wall construction but 1.4k+ blocks down and about 1/3 of 1 side of this massive castle i want to build in the creative mode island is done. that and 130+ foundation blocks waaay down at the water lvl base floor.

at 6 blocks high per floor (to offset the games...crappy camera that doesn't zoom quite right unless you swing it around and fiddle with it) that's 5 floors in a space of at least 1-200 x 1-200 x 30.

it's not all that annoying since you can just go off and gather materials and stuff from any of the 4 chapters freely in this mode but it is tiresome and tedious...not necessarily boring though. it beats minecraft though since this games devs know what freaking MUSIC is and how to use it properly! it's not borderline non-existent like the music in minecraft.

plus, this game has a pretty good draw distance so one this castle is done, it should be visible from quite the distance.

this is in dragon quest builders btw. and if they decide to make a 2nd builders game then i hope they expand it overall like with heroes 2 and toukiden 2 cause they did a real good job with that.

$50k for a set of headphones... that is what is known as shit for people who are rich and stupid aka people with more money than brains. like that one burger with the gold leaves, caviar and other shit piled on it. thing sounds nasty to me.

my aunt got me some noise cancelling headphones earlier this year from wal-mart. probably cost under $100 and they're the best headphones i've ever had and get great sound quality. $50K for headphones? i question the intelligence of the person who buys that garbage.

but...i thought... darnit... ok, one sec.

there, now it's not.

i thought i hadn't posted that yet but i guess it was still saved in the text field. oops

oh, and i was wrong about the dimensions of that castle i've been working on. it's actually 87 x 62 x 30 which puts it just a few block bigger than 161.8k+ blocks worth of space.

:/ probably gone and placed several thousand on the outer walls alone by now. got about 2 full walls worth done. and that's just the outer walls. i'm not starting the interior stuff till that's finished.

i was also thinking of enclosing the main incognita island in a shell of obsidian too to give it something of a "dark land" feel.

could probably fit 1, maaaybe 2 more castles this size on the main island.

I also just finished replaying the dead space series which is probably one of my favorite games the controls are fun, the necromorphs are grotesque and cool as well as really aggressive plus I immensely enjoyed the story.

Dead space 1

I was surprised the graphics still look pretty good although some parts of the game felt a little unrefined now, this one is still really good, I also forgot isaac didn't talk.

Dead space 2

This one is my favorite I thought the space station built around one of saturns moons was a fun setting, especially with the school and residential areas.

Dead space 3

Out of all three this one is my least favorite as well as the easiest although it is still fun in it's own way. However it's this one that has my favorite part of the story with the revealment of the brother moons and I thought the ending of the DLC was awesome.

i was just checking...and imgur pic every single franchise show in this pic is gone. so yeah, that new SNES console is precisely why this happened.

well, not all of them but the majority have been nuked. mario, kirby, super metroid, F-Zero, Legend of Zelda, The (still sounds stupid to me how files get sorted that way)...all gone. all because of the rerelease of a small handful of games.

they finally updated the file format for textures? I know both versions of Smash 4 used the exact same file format for textures, as well as most Nintendo released games using a slightly different version of .B*STM files, .BRSTM for Wii games, BCSTM for most games released during the Wii U's life, and finally, Zelda BotW strangely uses BFSTM files.

I feel like I recognize TGA files, since they're somewhat of a common texture file in a lot of games.

this'll be fun, knowing just how accessible the file format is for Switch textures, although you are looking at a multiplat game, which usually ends up using just a single file format throughout every version to prevent any complications porting any potential DLC to any console. I wonder just how easy modding MK8D will be when it eventually is moddable, considering how every Nintendo console ends up getting hacked as late as two years after release, although the Switch was sort of hacked extremely soon after it's release by qwertyoruiops.

I wish qwertyoruiops would release his PS4 hack, but he's a bit busy with his Etherum mining rig to do anything else right now.

he is just known as "The Boy". What's odd though, is that the Shadow of the Colossus MC is named Wander while the MC of Ico is just named Ico while The Last Guardian's MC doesn't have a name to go by as far as we all know of.

EDIT: I just realized you were talking about the Trico, and not the MC, and looking at the Ico Team Wiki, apparently this Trico doesn't have a name since it was locked in the cave with the MC for quite some time prior to the events of the game.

What happened to the days where people discovered this sort of thing for themselves? I'd rather sit there with a notepad writing shit down as I play and figure it out for myself than have someone give me the answer. You should see what an A4 piece of paper looks like after I've played a game like Tales of Eternia: Detailed maps, lists of co-ordinates, puzzle layouts and solutions, it's a very informative mess.

congrats, you know how to do cartography. -_- me, i do things this way when i pull out cheat engine for friggin console game emulation. i can use it to cheat in the vast majority of games easily but every so often i'll come across a game with strange programming and i have to throw everything i know out the window and start figuring things out the hard way.

the translated sega genesis game, Brave Battle Saga - Legend of the Magic Warrior is a prime example of this. why the F won't those damned HP values STAY frozen between battles?! i find the value, freeze it in one battle. then when the next battle starts i have to relocate the value because the address or something changed between fights and the first one i froze no longer works.

and other times, like with the 3-in-1 wizardry game(s) for snes, things are just plain weird. o_O the gold value in that game is not a single value but rather...multiple different values. first 3 digits are a single byte value that goes from 0-255 and then the next 3...might? be another single byte value? plus those games have no lvl cap. it's a double byte value so give your character(s) a metric fuck ton of exp and go hog wild in the INN ;) you'll never stop lvling unless you somehow hit a double byte value limit (and that could be anywhere up to 1E+100+).

some games are just weird...

oh and on that note, if anyone tries cheat engine on NDS games. be careful as some games have 2 or more results for each value. i remember a shin megami tensei game having 2 values for each character/monsters HP. so you gotta freeze both at the same time for that to work.

oh the joys of cheating and risking the game crashing (which happens a lot on these stranger games). now, if i could just solve how sega cd works...

I do that with the area words in Dot Hack. There is a list of area words, but while you can easily know what is influenced, nowhere will you learn how that thing is influenced. So I'm going through each one and figuring it out, only knowing what categories to look for and what words have priority.

This may take a long time. There are a lot of them.

funnily enough, I had an issue with my PS2 hard drive and putting games on it that I couldn't find anywhere on the internet except maybe one thing that hinted at what may be wrong. I thought either the IDE/SATA to USB connecter I bought a while back, or the programs I was using, were so old, that they could not properly use USB 3.0, and the best program would crash at a certain point of putting a game onto the HDD, usually around 27% or 43%. The solution was just to plug the hard drive converter into the one USB 2.0 port I had on my PC, even though I thought that USB3.0 acted as USB2.0 when you plugged a 2.0 into the 3.0 port.

I'm wondering how you get caught that easily? could you not have remade the entire UI so you wouldn't get caught, considering they did an attempt at such a thing and failed horribly.

goodness... i'll get back to DQB later. for now, i went back, trained a little more, and managed to take down Dhuran a 2nd time in DQH2...and what turned out to be the easiest of those 4 bosses in that part of the final battle region.

another barrier defense battle down (thankfully this one went easier than the one before the twin kings fight) and now this game has gone and taken a note from the mega man franchise. the monster medal holders power has been nullified by fractos' power and i'm fighting waves of monsters from past battles starting with the battle for harba waaay back at the start of the game. this 2nd round is dunisia so it's going in order at least.

i hope fractos doesn't start summoning minions in the final battle cause if that happens i'm screwed without the monster medal holder available.

let's see... i think this is either the 4th or 5th phase of the final battle region. it's quite the lengthy set of battles, that's for sure.

EDIT: I just realized you were talking about the Trico, and not the MC, and looking at the Ico Team Wiki, apparently this Trico doesn't have a name since it was locked in the cave with the MC for quite some time prior to the events of the game.

Thank you for the information.

yep, won't be beating the dragonlord map in solo mode. no way will that work.

lvl 40+ now and i can barely scratch Fractos' hp in his 2nd fi\orm. 1st form ain't too bad as mainly just sits around flinging spells everywhere. an archer can handle that easy enough but that 2nd form...

the best orbs (armor) in the game can't keep up with that power. 2-3 hits per party member and 1 lose every time. plus his range of attacks can get you from any side. i'd say the difficulty is unfair but nah, that'd be lying. if i hang back and grind 20 or more lvls i might be able to take him. well, easier anyway.

this games final boss is MUCH harder than whatshisname from the first game. probably about the same difficulty as the fight to beat and unlock psarro. and then there's the erdrick and dragonlord post game final boss maps which are supposed to be FAR harder than this final boss. with the dragonlord having FOUR different forms. i'll have to wait till my new PC and try the (free) multiplayer on that or something for those fights.

guess i'll go back to builders now and test that cursed equipment challenge. see what it unlocks.

Was running it earlier and shut it down and recharged it

apparently the heating happens if you have it in a small, enclosed area, or put in a case, since the fans on the Switch seem to be weirdly designed to still be in a very low power state even though the system is off but charging. If it was heating up while playing BotW, though, that may be the case since BotW is a pretty demanding game, even so much as to heat up the Switch in more demanding areas in the game, like intense battles and in the Lost Woods or Hyrule Castle.

judging by the filesize of Splatoon 2; I want to say the game will be just over 2 times the size of the first Splatoon, or possibly even twice as big as the game plus all of the updates (or DLC as Nintendo tried to call it, I'm just calling it an update because that's what it is, the weapons were all added during the update I personally don't care at all), which seems really nice, going to get even more bang for your buck from the last game.

EDIT: After watching the Switch dock video, jesus christ, how did so much people not question these boards at all? Even worse, how did no one on the Kickstarter team not notice that this was a ripoff product?

Um. Can you actually say what this is? I don't understand a bit of it. It's just a wall of characters. Mostly 0's.

It's a hash of the Bow RomFS, where the game data is stored. :3

This isn't going to turn into a "poor innocent woman being bullied by the authorities" story, is it?

considering everything Alex has been doing as of late, I'm hoping it doesn't turn into such a story.

Wonder if Capcom ever thought doing
more spin off games

I wouldn't mind a spin off of
Darkstalkers that plays like a Castlevania Symphony of the Night game.

But then again Megaman would be more popular,
having Megaman with Symphony of the Night like gameplay,
and huge "2D" free-roam stages.

Ooo a Darkstalkers game that plays like Devil My Cry.
I can see that.

Oh a Street Fighter Game that plays like Final Fight
or just have a new Final Fight game with Street Fighter characters as a bonus.

never tried dark stalkers before but MMX: Corrupted will be similar to a metroidvania...eventually. RPG elements, a large open world (albeit a 2D world) that isn't simply divided up into stages, and apparently the armor sets will be able to be mix and matched for different combinations of abilities... i really have no idea when this game will be finished but it's likely going to be pretty big and the last i checked, the dev was working on the "Skyway" section.

it's one of those games where it'll be done released when it's eventually finished and with i think 1 or more people making it... that's a lengthy development time...that's already been ongoing for several years and counting. :/ but i have hope...MAYBE crapcom won't try to do something shitty when it finally does get finished...maybe...

tbh, i wouldn't put it past them to do something shitty at this point since...when was the last actual mega man game released? and i don't mean rereleases.

Honestly, she'd be most safe if it didn't.

looks like there was a castlevania animated series on netflix recently which i find to be somewhat surprising. how long has it been since anything decent or...non-NSFW has come from that franchise?
