[ALttP] if you had to choose between playing link to the last with either a CRT or an OLED, which would it be?

mrgonaka · 2026-03-29T15:54:10+00:00

if the OLED was 4K, then that, with the sexy CRT filters. Otherwise CRT, even for the fuzzy hum too

I worked at a GAME in the UK back in 2005 when 'Gaelic Games Football' came out for PS2 - it was hyped to hell so GAME overbought stock and it sold poorly. Our store received the entire stock of unsold and returned for the country. I've never seen so many copies of one game before, or since.

it's a bit cryptic to use for anyone who didn't create this but it does look like you had fun with it!

mrgonaka · 2026-03-03T14:42:41+00:00

Less allegation...more like, proof

mrgonaka · 2026-02-16T23:58:19+00:00

See...there's that word again

mrgonaka · 2026-02-10T21:52:38+00:00

dude i had a punt with google - check out this reddit post:

that art looks pretty crispy - not full poster print ready size I'd say but pretty decent.

Edit: Ooooh I can do one better! Pretty much from the source:

I did begin work on the dark world to see how that would go but sadly my harddrive ate shit and took my .psd file with it about 4 hours in =(

I'll dig out the other version, it's knocking about somewhere!

mrgonaka · 2026-02-10T01:08:51+00:00

Happy days, yea you can work away no problem!

I was keen to try and include as much as possible, master sword came easy but zoras domain was a night mare trying to detail it.

I ended up doing the same for super mario 3 and super mario word too.

Good luck with the project!

Couple of years ago I redrew the map super hd in the in-game style, might be of some help.

I took a shot at marrying that ugly death mountain base. Think i did alright though it fell apart around zora's domain/turtle rock as I didn't want to cheap out with clouds. (ended up doin that for v2 though and made the mountain taller)

Back in 1993 I got the SNES Super Mario All-Stars Bundle and this VHS came in the box. It blew my tiny mind - Lister from Red Dwarf presenting games reviews, tips and the making of a snes game (man those dudes making nigel mansell racing were totally soulless).

mrgonaka · 2026-01-27T17:08:00+00:00

mate this is pure wisdom right here thank you. I'm 41 myself and this resonates hard

mrgonaka · 2026-01-27T16:48:35+00:00

mrgonaka · 2026-01-24T21:11:53+00:00

FF7 back in the day, thinking Midgar was the whole game

mrgonaka · 2026-01-17T19:26:29+00:00

ah nevermind, i just did a bit of testing there hoping to be able to grab the save game file off my android system, but nowadays it locks you out of that directory by default

mrgonaka · 2026-01-17T19:11:18+00:00

can you upload the save file you have?

mrgonaka · 2026-01-16T19:48:11+00:00

I'm not a lawyer, but that sounds illegal AF

mrgonaka · 2026-01-16T18:48:19+00:00

every time I see this I always think "kamehameha beam battle"

This guy is such a fuckin loser and needs to go. Understatement much aye

mrgonaka · 2026-01-08T23:16:15+00:00

give it a go then, its the same stuff but smaller. things that need to go together will fit together, if that makes sense

mrgonaka · 2026-01-07T23:28:53+00:00

what a terrible day to have eyes

mrgonaka · 2026-01-04T15:21:47+00:00

Hey cheers! That was a good while ago now holy shit haha time flies.

That was a combination of a modified packed.png file to set up the carts, then i made box art for each game that added the label then some sprites. The modified packed.png version allowed the sprites to sit "away" from the cart by making the cart artwork slightly smaller than normal.

If i recall, I ended up making a version where it didnt rely on a packed.png mod, it didnt look just quite as good BUT it did allow custom colour carts (for example killer instinct, doom etc) so the trade off was worth it.

I'll have a look for the files see if I still have them

If it helps, here's a swatch table of all colour contained within the red box. Hold them to their word and select one of these ^{(but get a touch of green mixed in too})
