Forever grateful for that interview! 🫡

"Well, uh, back in those days, the higher-ups would often announce titles without us even knowing. Saturn VF3 and Sonic the Fighters were like that. Those were mistakes." - Hiroshi Kataoka - Director of Sonic the Fighters segaretro.org/Interview:_H...

I never answered the question "Was it in the game data already but just disabled because it was unfinished?" I believe the original routine that made this code work was overwritten. The attract mode with the flying RoboEggs made the final cut and used different code.

On a crazy desperate whim I decided to just port the code from Fighting Vipers directly into Sonic the Fighters and replace the call to it's attract movie to my newly written code. Obviously there's some flags set incorrectly, but at least it works and we can get an idea of what it looked like!

I knew that the data looked very similar to the data in my disassembly analysis of the previous fighting game by AM2 "Fighting Vipers". The data looked very similar to how the code works for it's attract intro movie www.youtube.com/watch?v=hne1...

So this data has caught my eye in my disassembly of the game for a long while now, but I couldn't figure out how/what I could do with that data to get it working. This week I finally decided to sit down and think tank how to get the data working. github.com/biggestsonic...

There does indeed appear to be initialization for the names, I just haven't gotten them to work yet. I will post a full working attract mode if I ever get that far, but I got REALLY excited and had to post this!

I definitely don't have all the pieces working together yet, but I will keep bashing away at this to get it as complete as I can.

Did you Arduino Mega the Konami chip?

Holy shit want

oh fuck oh shit

Not my biggest fantasy, but I'd love to do that with Trapt for PS2
