Sonic DS ROM

Dude's version looks more like the SA1 version with some arms/hands he modeled himself. :P If I remember right, that SADX model I shown awhile back was infact gimped from Dude's space. It was just the head and body, though - no arms or legs (and then I added the arms/legs from the Sonic Heroes model). Which, of course, somewhat fits in with the idea that he could get the SA1 model ;P

I was gonna say, those hands look terrible. Even in SA1, the hands may have just been curled stumps with a thumb attached, but at least they looked like hands.

Yeah, you'd only need 10 minutes for that, maybe 20 if you suck.

Actually, that's not the model that you see in the demo, it's the Lo-Res model, explaining why there are no buckles and fingers. The Hi-Res model that you see in the video/screencaps wasn't ripping properly, only the head was coming out.

Aw, come on Spazz. You were WRONG. Admit it.

I've heard someone at the Cult has already admitted to the ROM being hoaxed, from within the Cult itself, even.

After scanning through the ROM with a hex editor, it seems that's mostly true. Unless the ROM is either:

#1) Extremely encrypted or
#2) A bad dump or
#3) Extremely compressed

All that's in there is seemingly random data. They did a nice try at trying to simulate a "header" for the game, but the header for the Sonic DS ROM looks nothing like a typical ROM header - again, mostly random data with a few bits of text injected in to it (obvious stuff like copyright info).

And while I'm no genius when it comes to looking at stuff in hex editors, I've looked through NES, Genesis, GBA, N64 and SNES ROMs as a comparison as to how a normal ROM for dumped games looks, and it doesn't appear to match.

Although I'm not so sure it's "nothing". Folks out there could try to rename it to various different formats - video, probably, by the looks of it, see if they can get it to play on WMP or something. I've already deleted it off my system, so I can't check myself. (However, due to the header being changed/tampered with, probably won't open)

I looked at your mum in a hex editor. She was gay.

Coooold as ice.

Video? No
Compressed? Yes
Corrupt? Maybe (If so, only slightly)
I still question the authenticity of the ROM, but I'm still pretty sure that the model is real.

Thing is, if it was encrypted/corrupt, why would the header be in plain ASCII?

Solved:

Sep 27 22:13:53 <Alpha> Is that Sonic DS rom real o.o
Sep 27 22:14:07 <Sazpaimon> nope
Sep 27 22:14:13 <Alpha> Because I have huge intuition that it isn't
Sep 27 22:14:16 <Sazpaimon> its all one big collective hoax
Sep 28 12:41:36 <dcom> SSUK made a fake 47MB rom
Sep 28 12:41:43 <dcom> with hidden messages and fake headers

I suspected so.

LOL he is m4k3 h0ax. I never understood the point of those, more often than not they aren't funny, most people aren't fooled, and those that are fooled usually don't give too much of a toss over it anyway. The hoaxing thing has always struck me as a wholly unconstructive waste of time.

Ditto. The only cool hoax I've ever seen is Knuckles Adventure. All others are usually done by those who call a three tailed Tails an "original" character.

*Shrug* False sense of power. Why do magicians do magic? It's the same thing, just with hoaxes, your magic is a little different...

Yeah, it's generally unentertaining.

Sega changed it's logo?

Not exactly. Sega and Sammy officially merged, but it seems that the classic Sega logo is still on games. Welcome to... at least a month or two ago.

Spazz · Post by **Spazz** » Sat Oct 02, 2004 6:48 pm

Yes, but they officially "did the deed" yesterday.

Huh? You mean now both Sega and Sammy games with just have the Sega-Sammy logo on them?

Spazz · Post by **Spazz** » Sat Oct 02, 2004 6:56 pm

I just meant that they officially merged yesterday. I seriously doubt the logo in the games will change though.

Looks like Sonic DS have been taking lessons from Advance Wars...

Kanbei will now be referring to himself in the third person!
Oh no! Kanbei must battle inflation or risk being spammed by communist/Blue Moon infantry!
Kanbei cannot locate his sock. This creates humor. LAUGH AT KANBEI.
Kanbei can't beat the worst CO in the game. Kanbei must now end his life.
Kanbei would like to take this time to remind the kids out there, do it like Kanbei. Across the neck, not down the back.
