This is a update to a hack I did that you incorperated into one of your color hacks. Test it out and see if you want the latest features in your hack. I may revise the hack again tho if someone can find a way to fix scrolling to the left.
Nice pyron!
What do you think of Hellfire? it's a great port (better than the arcade) but it could benefit from more accurate colors.
I applied your hack to a pre-patched color hack ROM and both work together pretty fine.Quote:

I don't know, the result is quite good but now it's not faithful to the original..Quote:

I agree with you but not so much, you cant reach the same tones of the arcades using MD palletes,Quote:

if you play mk2 on arcade on 15hz crt monitor it tends more to hot tones than the green ones,
but you are right saying is not faithfull:

Note to pyron, keep a pic of the arcade game nearby when you try to match it's color.
hi my freind, i'm sorry but i really don't understand your point here,Quote:

i'm using a good pro ips monitor well calibrated and always i try test it on crt in rgb later (also i take the rgb colour value).
but If you look at it using a TN monitor or laptop, sadly you dont get the real colors there.
And its just a test and like i said is not faithfull enought to original and it never gonna be, because we dont have these colors on md pallete
we must do some changes to increase details. If it for you is fine and already faithfull and perfect, so 'im happy for you my friend.
Note to cheeky fecker you don't think he already does? It's just the Genesis Palette isn't great to work with in all instances!Quote:

Wonder if Raiden Trad is on Pyron's mind as a possible future project...
Chiki Chiki Boys for the mega drive is more fun and ejoyable than the arcade and deserves some love, later i will post some comparisons.

@vash and @thief i love shooters and they are in my personal list to take a look :ok:
I know that you are already full of requests, but when you have time, could look for Toy Story, he feel so outdated colors against the SNES version.
Nice Pyron, now that game looks even better.

Yes, you can convert the game to US and after do this patch the game, also if you have a everdrive you just can use a jp bios to play the game. Have Tutorial well explaneid on internet.Quote:

So I applied the ips to the Japanese iso, and then used CDMage to extract the first track and replaced the first 16 sectors with the ones the US image has, and presto!Quote:

Awesome hack, btw!

Damn suddenly Twin Cobra has good graphics now lol, well done. Fatal Fury looks nice too.
great game twin cobra!!! and color fix! Toaplan/Taito Corp same as twin hack.
That Fatal Fury color hack looks very interesting, would love to see more!
Now we just need someone to hack the game title screen to Mega TwinsQuote:

Someone somewhat is most faster than Pyron...:confuso:
Donald Duck Mahui Mallard could benefit greatly from a color hack, the environments are very dark, and more lighter colors are necessary.
But.... it doesn't look as good as yours, enemy tanks are still yellow:?Quote:

What about Mcdonalds's Treasure Land Aventure? But instead changing the palette, pretty please, can anyone change the main character for a proper one? For sure the game gains a lot if that change was ever made!
Wow...this I thought I will never see it, now I understand why the chinese hackers bothered with all those Mario-head hacks I used to see for the Famicom,....because theres actually an audience for them!!!Quote:

But in the specific case of this game, further hacking would be required. The original palette arrange of the Mega Drive version is very limited and static; lots of bad decisions there.
It's like someone took a beautiful palette and applied a layer of depression over it.Quote:

I realy hope you're doing MK1 next. I'd love to see that with a more accurate palette.
Well Smoke did all the hacking, it was his baby. and I doubt he'd want to do MK1. Probe really did a medicore job.. even hacking wont save that mess.Quote:

Sorry for the random post, but surely after Midnight Resistance (which you have already done, Pyron!) the next Mega Drive game that needs some serious colour love (e.g. make it the same as the arcade) is Toki! What the hell were the programmers thinking on that one.
If you fancy a trip to PC Engine world, can you sort out The New Zealand Story at the same time, similar issue, piss poor choice of colours for a simple conversion...
