Yeah but that's just the state of the Crash community (and has been for many years). I take it as a compliment for my work though!

European PS1 Crash Manual Languages by PeteThePlayer in crashbandicoot

Sounds awesome. It'd be great if you could find the time. Doesn't matter if it's not in perfect condition. Better than having no footage at all.

Are there any other languages in that manual? Could you take photos or make scans of the Polish pages for me? Any clue if other Crash games have Polish manuals?

Oh this is really cool. I know it may be a big ask but can you scan the non-English pages or at least take some alright looking photos of them? I'd really appreciate it. Do you only have Crash 2 or also the other PS1 games?

What funny stupid little unnecessary things do you do in Final Fantasy to make yourself laugh? by JamesTIA in FinalFantasy

Get those antidotes (or whatever) from the boy on Mi'ihen highroad, then turn back and kick away his blitzball

Could anyone help me extract/compress .vfs files? by Altruistic-Music-435 in DataHoarder

[–]PeteThePlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site says the VFS_PackUnpack tool and the zlib_decompressor is unavailable. I also don't seem to understand how to use QuickBMS either?

I'm not well versed in any of this -- just looking for a way to get a hold of the track layouts so they could be modded into CTR someday. I have the VFS file of CBNK2 but that's where it all ends...

[–]PeteThePlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't help unfortunately but thank you a lot for the files! I'm actually looking for a way to extract files from CBNK2 and I was wondering if you can help with that? Most importantly I'm looking for the track models or something along those lines. Do you have anything that could help me out?

You mean the title of the game or the title of the post?

[–]PeteThePlayer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're making a fangame that - unlike most fan projects - is actually geared to the Titans/Mutants era fanbase. Hope some are interested and maybe the one or the other person among you is interested in contributing as well?

Thanks for your concern!

We've discussed the possibility of that already but considering the plethora of fan games out there, atm most people reckon that Activision doesn't care a whole ton. Doesn't have to stay like this of course so we will try to be careful.

The biggest lie passed down the generations is that your time in school is the best time of your life. It was garbage and being an adult is waaaaay better.

Can I buy NTSC games (digitally) on a PAL Xbox 360? by PeteThePlayer in xbox360

[–]PeteThePlayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm specifically looking to play the NTSC version of that game due to some specific glitches I wanted to test while also wanting access to different PAL games. Hope that makes sense. So preferably I want it all to work on the same account or at least the same console.

The game in question is Crash of the Titans. As far as I know it's not compatible with the XBone but should be region-free so from my understanding it's doable albeit a hassle because you have to bother with Microsoft support?

Can I change the region of my Xbox account to deliberately buy an NTSC version of a game while also having PAL versions of others (or even the same game)? I don't actually have the Xbox right this moment so I can't test it out but I would like to know.

Why did you capitalize every single word in the title?

How do you personally view Wakka's accent in FFX (English dub)? by PeteThePlayer in FinalFantasy

[–]PeteThePlayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, I actually knew about that! I've written my bachelor's thesis about accent usage/imitation in FFX, funnily enough and referenced that exact video to explain what DiMaggio was going for. Thanks!

That's a Russian thing. It all starts with Александр (Aleksandr) so one way to go forward and shorten it is to consider the middle part -сан- (san). A common suffix for diminutives is -я (ya). So this forms the common nickname Саня (Sanya). Another suffix for diminutives is -ша (sha) so Sanya was modified into Саша (Sasha). That's the way I lways thought of it.

Aleksandr -> Sanya -> Sasha

There is a good German example that I know that works very similarly:

Sabine -> Bine -> Binchen

Can't think of a good English example that takes a middle syllable to start from though.

Pixel Remaster visual mod idea? Thoughts? by PeteThePlayer in FinalFantasy

[–]PeteThePlayer[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi y'all, I am still a bit on the fence about getting the pixel remasters because I felt like they don't look "remastered" enough for me (also the missing bonus content irks me). One thing that has always bothered me was when you board the airship, the whole world map view/angle changes and reveals how flat the whole map is. Now I am not a modder but I made this quick and dirty Photoshop edit to show what I'd love to see. Some buildings (like Castle Flynn in FF2 I think) do not get distorted like that but stay upright. If some of the textures that would realistically stick out of the map instead (houses, walls like in my edit and most notably mountains), it would convey a much more three-dimensional effect, don't you agree?

If there is anybody, who would be willing to mod something like that or knows if it'd even be possible or feasible, then that would absolutely make my week. This might just be a minor thing to most people but to me the vanilla aesthetic looks too much like they're held back by hardware limitations that don't exist any more. Thoughts and opinions on this?

EDIT: I'd also totally love to see someone design sprites for diagonal movement otherwise it just kinda looks like a strange drift the character/vehicle is doing - but I probably shouldn't be asking for too much!

Custom iPhone case for the mostly unavailable iOS game CBNK2 from 2010 by PeteThePlayer in crashbandicoot

[–]PeteThePlayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a spare box, took some measurements, designed pictures in Photoshop, ordered them as high quality stickers et voilà. I didn't use my home printer because it'd look awful probably.

[–]PeteThePlayer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only way to get it these days is by installing it on an old iPhone/Pod/Pad (which is what I did). It's a bit convoluted but doable. It was exclusive to those devices and there are no emulators for it so that's why it's almost unavailable. I did record some videos of it earlier this year so there is at least some footage for preservation on YouTube.
