So, did you see the last of CaH4e3's updates. Apparently, some multicart ROM containing the whole SMW pirate. But also, that Popeye II ROM (hack of Aladdin II, that pirate NES port of the SNES Aladdin).
Uh, yeah, wasn't somebody asking about that one shortly before Sardius' board blew up?

[Smeg]

Hey dude, link please. I don't remember his URL.

So, is this SMW diffferent than the one you can download now? Cause I know on that one there are several unused levels.

Speaking of SMW NES, I tried to do a graphic hack of that game, it took me weeks just to do the 1st level because of how the graphics are stored. They keep them all in 4 different spots. It is really annoying to find peices for a pipe or hill in several different spots rather than next to eachother. These pirates arent very organized in how they store stuff.

Thanks Ace.

Groovy! I was about to ask for some help with the pirate originals, Earthworm Jim 2 included.
Pardon my confusion but, where exactly I can find that "Popeye II" ROM? That rather sounds like one of my favourite Popeye shorts from the 30's...
(By the way, anyone know about the other P.O.'s I haven't been able to find: Boogerman II, Family Kid, Panda Prince and Toy Story?)

Holy shit, that's awesome! I recall old pirate versions abruptly stopping after a certain point.

I'm way behind on my emulators, is there a gold standard to run this on? Or more importantly for my soon-to-be-modded Xbox, can it run on console emulation? I doubt it will, but I just thought I'd ask.

[KingMike]

The Popeye II ROM is in the 45-in-1 on cah4e3's page. Also, they apparently need the modified version of fceultra on his page (updates to the pirate mapper definitions).

Hail to the king!

Well, I hope the thing works. Anyway, here's another place I know full of the pirates' stuff:

Wow they have something crazy called "Secret Ties" where did they get it?

[kap]

LostLevels is credited with reviewing it, and TSR is mentioned too. I'd love someone to translate that and tell me exactly what it has to say about TSR and if we're essentially getting shit on thanks to his reviewing shit on his site before anything was meant to be let out.

"The first vestiges found on this game had been found in the site Grand Nestral Station , where scan of one exists one review of an American magazine showing some photos of the game . E during much time this was the only notice that if had on the game. Later TSR appeared with one review of this game in its page TSR Game Life . Some days later TSR strangely it removed link for review of this game in its site. In the same way that it made with Sunman and Hit-the-hoists. However as well as Sunman and it only Hit-The-hoists inside commented links of its page, and having access the code source still he is possible to find links for these reviews. To have access review of TSR on this game you can clicar here . Recently the staff of the LostLevels made one review on this game and as he was of if to wait they they disponibilizaram the Rom of exactly. It seems that a species of partnership between TSR and the faces of the LostLevels exists. All reviews occulted of Site TSR Game Life has its games published in the site lostlevels.org!"

[TheRedEye]

Whenever I see those hoists I just snap and start swinging.

[kap]

Yeah, fuck TSR. I realize he's a good guy and yada yada yada, but fuck TSR.

TSR has nothing to do with LostLevels, never has, and it isn't like we didn't try to get him involved. He does his own thing, and that's cool. But putting that stuff up when it was put up let all the cats out of the bag, and now there are at least some people who think this is all thanks to him when it has sweet fuck all to do with him.

This has been pissing me off for something like two years now, and it isn't even like it's all his fault. Another party whom I will not name is a larger part of it, and I'd appreciate no guessing or saying who that party is, because it would just be counterproductive. I just feel like getting it all off my chest, because I hate this feeling a whole hell of a lot.

So yeah, that's all.

[TheRedEye]

For what it's worth, I really don't care at all. In fact, I'd almost prefer not being associated with "releasing" these.

[Ichiban Crush]

I don't know Mexicanese, so don't look at me.

He mentioned Red's old site in a few articles as well. I'm guessing it's not trash talk.

That's kind of it, kind of not. It's kind of complicated, and I hate saying that, but the entire situation just sucked. I mean, hell, it isn't really his fault anyway, but his attitude towards it when it happened wasn't exactly helpful either. Bad situation.

It's credit and it isn't, it's leaks and it isn't. Complicated.

As it stands now, I'm still upset, but not nearly as much as I was when it happened. You can ask Frank and Ballz how livid I was that day, they were there. A couple years later, I'm only really upset when it's brought back up, when I see things like this, where the story is wrong and people think he has something to do with any of it.

Blah blah fucking blah. Sorry I brought it up I guess.

Poor guy. Then again, I'm sure he's slept like a baby every day since.
