Title: oversized roms
Post by: fab on 06/15/01 at 20:18:00
Since when has it ever been a problem that a game has been released oversized. There were tons of N64 games released oversized and word got out about them and people either resized them or didn't. Either way as long as the ROM is working due credit should be given. I noticed that on some sites (or perhaps only one (gbaroms.com)) credit has been ganked from MNC and M7 for those two resized releases by Jurai, who like Acey said obviously just re-sized the existing dumps and re-released them. That is lame. Anyway, I hope that everyone can see the stupidity of this.

Yes, we all see the stupidity of it, Obviously the games were 32mbit put onto 64mbit carts for production reasons (probably because they were out of 32mbit carts at the time, as happened on the N64 countless times).
The Jurai releases are nothing but dupes, the mnc/m7 are the REAL releases, jurai's just crap. The TC tony hawk 2 was a REAL overdump, it contained the same game in both halves due to a TC/Software error. The MNC/M7 releases WERENT overdump's.
Jurai sucks, so just ignore lame webpages like gbaroms, if you can't ignore them just laugh at them. They pander for Joey's who can't even resize themselves.

Is there a way to get rid of the oversized bytes if you already have the 64MBit releases?

Yes, get File Split from http://www.partridgesoft.com/
select your source file, your output file (the new cut in half file), and set "Number Of Parts" to 2. delete the second part, keep the first part and rename to whatever you want. 32mbit version of the game for you.

Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater... I know that The Corp released this game at 128 Megabits... it was later released by tOTAL cRAP (the anti-Corp) at 64 Megabits. Did tOTAL cRAP just release a re-sized (split?) version of The Corp's original release or did they re-dump and re-release it?
Who should be given proper credit for this release?

The tony hawk was just a resize/split file.
The Corp should prolly be given credit for the release, but the Total Crap release stands as the valid one. Split halfway IMO.

More than anything else tOTAL cRAP releases was an exercise to poke fun at The Corporation, and I'm sure whoever is behind it does not mean any malice.
The irony of tOTAL cRAP's resizing Tony Hawk 2 and re-releasing it was as that’s EXACTLY what TC had done to AGS with Aidyn Chronicles on the Nintendo 64, and then cried because their release was not counted, their claim was that their release was valid as it was the right size.
Strangely TC members were bleating that in this case the opposite is true as their release was first.
makes you think dont it.
