D-Pad Hero

[ressurectionx]

It was close... there are a few really excellent original homebrew games out there for different systems, but this one is the most polished and innovative I've ever seen.

 

Somebody at the other forum was requesting at a real cool computer based "Guitar Hero" clone called "Guitar Fun" could be ported to the box. The general feeling is yes, theoretically. It would require some awesome person who didn't drink a majority of their braincells away like me to code it though.

 

Anyways.... my reply to that thread was "The closest I get to Guitar Hero on my Box is Parappa the Rappa for PSX and the excellent NES homebrew "D-Pad Hero""

 

It just made me think about that homebrew again and I wanted it to be known that with all my rediculous testing of games on most major consoles/handhelds supported that I really thought this effort stood out above the rest and you should all check it out.

Nah... already got it in there about 4 months ago, I think. I just haven't thought much about it until yesterday.

Yeah superchango,

 

Pretty slick, right?

 

 

Here's my second favorite homebrew of all time on any system

 

 

Angry Video Game Nerd K.O. Boxing for the Atari 2600

 

This game probably could have saved Atari from the video game market crash if it was out back in '83.

dpad hero is my hero.

 

after getting all the xtras the accompanying roms from snesorama it was the 1st or second game i found and fell in love with. at first i didnt know it was a homebrew and it was blowing my mind. shoulda known.

 

is there only the 4 songs for it?

[sammaz]

This has inspired me to do "Blu-Ray Hero". I am making it entirely in BD-J java...The spec allows us to use 24-bit 4800Khz .wavs

 

I anyone wants in hit me up!

 

 

THANKS FOR THE INFO!

 

[dballs]

can you elaborate? will we be able to play this on xbox?

I am unable to make it work with ZsnexBox v3.5. Black screen, no sound...anybody else try it out yet?

[ressurectionx]

It works perfectly for me. I only play games on the XBox unless I'm making some crappy videos on my own.

 

It is a NES game though, not an SNES game, so it will not work with ZSNESXBox. You will need to use Mendafenx_NES.

 

 

 

Oh... and as far as I know there are only the 4 songs included. Hopefully they expand on that someday.

Yeah that could also saved atari alright XDDDD. It is amazing to see these things in the emu/homebrew world. A more modern idea translated to a platform in the past: It works and looks really well.

 

Ah, well, talking about all the ifs and whens is daydreaming at the end of the day. Lucky us that can we see these things...

 

2 very nice picks, resx.
