Will take a look at your request when I get the Jurassic Park 2 ROM figured out. I may need a save state from you if you're playing on an emulator. I'll let you know.Quote:

1) I've only tested it with Gens, so don't know if it will work with other emulators.
2) The game will only load once. If the game freezes, you can't just "reset" the emulator. You'll need to exit the emulator, restart it and reload the ROM.
3) When you get to the Start/Option screen, you'll only have a few seconds to select "Start", or else the game will freeze (will take a code or two to fix that). You can also select the Option menu if you'd like.
4) When you get to the map screen, make sure you select Cargo Ship. Although I haven't tried the other levels very much, I don't think they work (will need more codes to fix them).
5) When Cargo Ship starts, you can shoot your default weapon in either direction, jump, walk left or right, or change your weapons. The game will freeze if you try to shoot other weapons (will need more codes). Also, if you walk far enough to the right the game will freeze when you encounter enemies.
6) There is no sound. Could be because there is no sound in this proto, or because of what I had to do to get the game running.
There's a good chance that you'll be only the second person to ever see this prototype working (besides the developers). You'll find that there are a lot of differences in this ROM that aren't in any of the other ROMs. I think you'll have a field day with this prototype.
I'll keep you updated when I make significant progress on the ROM.
Wow, this is awesome, thanks so much for your efforts so far! :D
And I might be one of the few who will ever see this, but I do know of a few other people that would love to see this and know about this. Edit: I misread, I thought you meant I'd be one of the only persons who'd ever see this, but you said that I was probably only the 2nd person to see it :) That's probably very true! I probably read too fast due to enthusiam. Is it okay if I pass this on to Glitch as well? He's the one that posted who posted at the SonicRetro.org forums. He also posted at TresCom, sorry about not being able to read that topic, I didn't think signing up was neccessary. I think regarding the non-working protos, his post at SonicRetro was more useful, but I will send you the text by mail anyway just to be sure. The main reason why I ask if I can pass the patched rom on to him, is that he will probably want to make a YouTube video for it. He has done so for the other prototypes as well. You can find his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/glitchhunter09/
I'll ask if he's interested in coming over, this might be something that needs its own topic?
I am currently running your patched rom with Genesis Plus GX on my Wii. So far I have encountered the same things you mentioned, though I can use the Reset function without any problems. Other things I have noticed:
- Grant's default weapon is a pistol/revolver instead of a dart gun
- The ammo/health colors of the HUD are in red instead of green
- There's what appears to be a grenade icon above the weapon icon
Edit: When Cargo ship is selected, you can press C to change it into Hidden Ruins (don't think I've ever seen its icon as it only shows the names of the final levels on the map, not the icons), and A to change it back to Cargo ship. Hidden Ruins doesn't load either, though.
Edit 2: All screenshots I take in this emulator have a 320 x 224 screen resolution. The screens for this proto come out as 320 x 240. I don't know a thing about screen resolutions for Sega Genesis, but I noticed the difference and thought I'd point it out just in case.
That's all for now, very interesting stuff - thanks again! :D
GelmiR, by all means, send that patched ROM to whoever you want. The more the merrier. Just make sure they know that they'll need to select Cargo Ship, and the rest of the notes I mentioned above. Also, keep in mind that I'll be making more improvements to that ROM in the near future. I even have an idea on how to fix the entire game with a single code. Will be looking into that today.
I agree, this should get it's own topic. Would "Genesis Does" be the best place for it?
EDIT: If you want to start the topic, please do so.
Wow, I can't express enough how much I look forward to getting it fixed - thanks again!! :D I'll start the topic and will send out the ROM to that friend (Glitch) I mentioned :)
Nice to see someone finally got this thing kinda working. I was a little worried the ROMs were corrupted beyond use. I had some Sonic community hackers look at it in a hex editor once. They said there were a lot of FF's in places which might be some of the problem. Also, I've read the programmer's resume and he revealed in it that He build Rampage Edition off of the original Genesis/Mega Drive game in his spare time. It's been a while since I read his resume:
https://web.archive.org/web/20060412...80/resume.html
"Jurassic Park was a 1.3 Million unit selling game and was completed on an extremely short schedule. JP: Rampage Edition had a similar schedule, with fewer engineers, but the redesigned game engine enabled it to be finished on time with a higher degree of quality."
There's other stuff there too. Sorry if I got off topic. Moderators can move this to the thread my pal made if they wish.
I started its individual topic:

Thanks dude. I have a save state at the necessary point by playing in Fusion. Let me know if you need anything specific, like if it has to be from a different emulator or whatever.Quote:

Can you send me the save state? Would appreciate it. Fusion save state also works with Gens (which is what I use), so that will be fine. You can either PM it to me (?), or email it to me (my email address is on my website (The Code Hut)).Quote:

The game only lets you fly if all occupied army slots are used by flyable units, the flying units in the game are:
-- Archmages.
-- Dragons.
-- Demons.
-- Vampires.
Upon hiring any unit that isn't on the list, the player can't fly while on the map screen. An anomaly is the unit called a Sprite, which can fly on the combat screen but not on the map.
Its possible to fly once more by dismissing the non-flying units (as long as you still have some flying army left)
I hope I explained the game adequately, but I usually miss stuff so let me know if anything else is needed.
That save state was perfect. Thanks.Quote:

Can always fly by pressing B, even if you have non-flying troops.
Tony you're a genius!
Thanks dude, that's a perfect code. It makes for an even more fun game than it already was.
GelmiR, I started looking into The Terminator. Here's a code that turns you into '84 Reese or Terminator (Arnold) himself (not sure which). I'm going by what The Jackel said in this post: http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthr...l=1#post336235Quote:

Lets you play as a different character (1st level only). When you start a new game as Reese, turn on the code and you will turn into '84 Reese or Terminator (Arnold) himself (not sure which). I'm sure you can turn the code on before the level starts if you'd like.
EDIT: Are those images at the very bottom of the picture you posted a possible playable character, or would that be an enemy you'd have to fight?...http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthr...l=1#post830263
Are any of the other characters in that picture playable characters, or are they all enemies?
Sorry, I could have been more clear on the characters at the bottom of that image. They are enemies. The robotic looking one is Arnie's endoskeleton form, you encounter him on the 4th and final level. But I've never seen its 3 frames that are on the bottom right. The character at the very bottom is also Arnie, possibly an earlier version of what we ultimately got.Quote:

I think there's a level select code somewhere, will be handy for testing. I tested the code for the Reese character on the first level. I can confirm that it switches to future Reese when throwing grenades and shooting the machine gun. Also, his overcoat has a greenish tint/look - unlike the white/grey one he is supposed to wear. Interesting, thanks for looking into this! :D
