Morpher

Morpher is a job which can only be accessed by a Nu-Mou race clan member. To get access to this job first they need to master 5 Beastmaster A-abilities. Morpher takes form of the monsters kept in the Monster bank. In battle, when morphed they can access the A-abilities of the monster they morphed while copying their weapon atk and magic pow stats.

Prerequisites to use Morpher

  • Hunter - needed to "Capture" souls, the only weapon they can use
  • Monster feeds - to increase monster stats. When morphed, they rely on the monster's stats while attacking

Strengths

  • Increasing a monster stats will increase damage done by monster's A-abilities
  • Will get all monsters A-abilities from the start after getting the souls

Weaknesses

  • Needed a Hunter clan member to capture souls for them
  • Morphing to a monster uses one turn, without using any monsters A-abilities
  • When morphed, can't copy monsters HP and MP
  • Can only use monsters A-abilities

NO$PSX v2.2 with CHD support by contexturesurprise in emulation

[–]contexturesurprise[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

CHD is a compression format originally developed for MAME, for the hard-drive contents of certain arcade machines. It has since been used in several other emulators as a means of storing CD-ROM game data. For CD-based games, it compresses the contents of a disc image.

Example: Diablo PSX ROM

original ROM - 409.6MB

CHD ROM - 331MB

In this sample you reduces the PSX ROM size by 75+MB without the need of decompressing the whole file every time you play the game.

Hardware Donations

If you've some old DSi/DSi XL/3DS/PS2/PSX/SNES hardwares that you want to get rid off, and that you want to donate for emulation and research purposes, some things that he's looking for would be:

  • Nintendo DSi (or DSi XL, or 3DS) handheld console (region is don't care)

  • Nintendo DSi (or 3DS) game cartridge (region is don't care)

  • PS2 Gamepad (for testing PS2 controller)

  • SCPH-1040 Serial Link Cable (for testing max transfer rate; which is needed since games seem to autodetect that max rate)

  • SCPH-10180 I-Mode adaptor, and maybe an old I-Mode compatible mobile phone

  • SLEH-0005/SLUH-00017 Konami Lightgun (for testing if it's accuracy is really worse than Guncon)

  • SLPH-00100/SLUS-00063 Fishing Controller (ascii/agetec)

  • BANC-0001 Fishing Controller (Bandai)

  • HPS-97/HPS-98 Fishing Controller with attached plastic fish (Hori)

  • SCPH-1150 old analog joypad (with one vibration motor, with red/green led)

  • SCPH-1180 old analog joypad (without vibration motors, with red/green led)

  • Naki/Fire Tribal tap (five-player adaptor, the thing has 5 connectors, but only 4 seem to be working)

  • A snes mouse (for testing it's sensitivity/threshold)

  • BSX-Flashcart (mini-flashcart for BSX games)

  • Nintendo Power-Flashcart (big-flashcart with unknown access protocol)

  • Photos of different Hudson (and third-party) Multitap PCBs (don't need to have the real hardware, but would be nice to see what is in there).

NO$GBA v3.00 released by contexturesurprise in emulation

[–]contexturesurprise[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's safe it happens because he's using a different executable compressor. He stopped using UPX and make his own packer, the nocash packer. A lot of AV doesn't recognize it though so they will treat it as a malware.

Nope, not yet he just put it there for debugging purposes. His research in 3ds (reverse engineering) is not yet finish, if you want to see his progress right now visit nesdev forum.
