What are you talking about? Do you think compressing samples makes them bigger or something?

Oh, samples would be be BETTER encoded as OGG, but I thought you meant have straight up OGGs as the music, not OGG as the sample format. My bad.

But even then you'd have to use the MO3 format (the only current tracker format that supports OGG compression) which uses BASS, not Tremor and BASS uses floating point:

Here's a nice video that sums up a wide variety of reasons not to buy this game. (Just in case you needed any more.)

If the game had the music that played during the clip, I would so freaking buy it!

Wow, that's depressing.

If you had a pinout of a GBA cartridge, you could take that Radica TV game (the one with Sonic) apart, solder the emulator IC and ROM chip onto the cart and map the pins correctly (ie: finding the power, screen, sound, and input pins).

The only issue would probably be that of resolution; since the video is not being processed by the GBA I don't think the GBA would scale it down to fit the screen.

A way you could get past this of course, is to code some sort of driver program that loads into the GBA's 256KB RAM (used for storing Mario Bros. from another player when downloading in a multiplayer game) and tells the GBA how to interperet the video. This program would also process the sound, but since the Genesis is being emulated by the IC, it could get away with streaming the audio through two PCM channels; one for right and left.

I don't think remapping input would be too hard...

I don't know how to code, so most likely this project will stay a dream, but when I do get around to learning, this will be one of the higher priorities.

How come Earth Worm Jim had a decent port to GBA and Sonic didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t?

Earthworm Jim was a shitty game, and shit ports to shit very easily perhaps?

Judging by the quality of the posts around here, I wouldn't be surprised if half the people on this forum liked to pee on themselves.

THIS JUST IN: Talking about other people's creepy fetishes on this board is only marginally less ban-worthy than talking about your own. I don't want to read about this! Consider this your first and only warning, everyone.

Ah geez! I'm from the same state as him! I feel like I need to scrub the uncleanliness off of myself with sandpaper.

You're from the same state as Dubya. I think you have more to be worried about than a childish furry.

No, I'm more concerned about the pissing furry.

Ahaha, Jesus Christ. That place is scary:

I am sure chldren borm among Father/daughters, mother/sons and brothers and sisters also have a much lower rate of defects then we are told. At any rate if 2 concenting people feel like having sex thats fine, if theye want to have a baby thats awsome. It dosent matter if theye are related by blood or otherwise.
