Resident Evil: Game Boy Color - Released on the 4th of feb (2012)

[Darklighterx]

After playing this for 10 minutes i only have one question....

Why?

Why the hell did Capcom cancelled this? its very impresive and good.

Why?
DS and Deadly Silence.

[Chris' Boob]

I hope you people actually realized that Deadly Silence had nothing to do with the cancellation of this...

THIS IS BEFORE GAIDEN!

They cancelled it, for Gaiden.

Now, I'm trying build 2, I'm going to record this soon and do a LP of it.

Just played it for a few mins, I can tell it's a little different.

-Inventory Chests fail to work
-Zombie's animation is smoother...health is a lot higher (or shotgun blasts are weaker)
-Font is different, areas seem brighter

I'll be recording a LP during the superbowl as I watch it, probably finish it tomorrow night and post it soon I'll be pointing things out, comparing to the original RE on PS1 and the first build.

[alexdz]

Why?
DS and Deadly Silence.

That doesn't even make sense, this was before the GBA.

[OKeijiDragon]

Why?
DS and Deadly Silence.

Deadly Silence was released six years after this GBC port was canceled, I doubt they planned it that far ahead.

[Chris' Boob]

Also, I noticed this, and I can that I am 75% positive that the 'anonymous' source is someone from THIA admin staff, such as Dot. Why? Where the hell did Carnivol get all the hex values / offsets so quickly?

Thanks, but that is quite awful to the community if this is true.

I think you're right...there is a conspiracy here....I think that Dot and Carnivol have been secretly planning this for years, just waiting for the right moment to unleash the prototype they stole from Capcom 13 years back in a break in that cost 3 lives to acquire a cancelled game.

Now after many false identities their master scheme to sell the unfinished game has been completed. Crime pays, the system has failed, and there is no god.

...Or they could have been in touch with the party that was selling the roms and gotten the hex values and stuff from them ahead of time .

Or, Dot originally had the beta (which he has admitted to me and others beforehand) and sold it off. Though he of course dumped the rom before hand, and is now trying to make another profit off of just the rom.

But then again they will never admit to this and say 'we got the values' from whomever...

[Darkmoon]

I can say that I believe it's the carts current owner who released this.

[drunkdog]

^ ding ding.

[Wrathborne]

Too bad Boob, my answer was more entertaining :3.

[Carnivol]

What Darkmoon says is indeed correct. So, to make life easier for some of you conspiracy nuts out there; here's what you can gather by just fiddling about online and what I can add to it.

-The current owner of the carts is indeed the person who released it (the donations were used to recoup the loss from buying the second cart)
-The most complete of the two builds is the very same build as could be seen in lots of old THIA material and also the 99 handycam footage
-The background rips and various hex values I posted previously in this thread were something that was whipped together on a sleepless May night back in 2007. I was bored, someone needed a quick hand with something.
-The aforementioned background rips, along with some spriterips I've long since misplaced, were to be featured in the RE1 section on the site (along with some other neat stuff that were worked out with both people within and outside the community. You know who you are, and so do I. Not forgotten.)
-The correct amount of people who died were 5, but the official number thrown around is indeed 3. In RPG tradition, they were never heard from again.
-The dumping equipment used to dump the most complete of the two builds is a USB powered GB Transferer 2 (owned by yours truly)
-The fact that these carts surprisingly enough now resides merely half-day worth of driving my place, my equipment was shipped around the globe and the previous owner had to secretly (ab)use a family computer to gain access to the LPT port needed for the aforementioned dumping equipment.
-The big $3500 joke back in 2007 was "WTF? Your fucking machine just formated the fucking GBC flash cart!"
-The funny thing is that I laughed and found it funny, rather than being shocked, scared and disappointed.
-The thing that surprises me is how people actually paid up. Previous attempts at fundraisers for four digit releases have usually resulted in not a single person donating the money they claim they'd be willing to donate.

So you pretty much admit to at one time around 2008 holding the cartridge in your hands, dumping the rom?

Interesting.

That, or you meant to say you sold or shipped the equipment with it...

Let's figure this story out, no BS, alright?

-Dot lists this as one of his top 3 collection pieces way back when.
-Apparently you had this game once in your hands, had the dumping material etc.
-Supposedly had background rips / hex values back in 07.
-Buddy buddy with Dot

...Mmmm.

Let's just hope THIA's staff never gets there hand on 1.5, because if they did, they wouldn't release it, just like RE GBC. Which they had since 07.

I was right all along, and every disbelieved me. TSK TSK.

[Carnivol]

Reading comprehension is a cool thing.

So you pretty much admit to at one time around 2008 holding the cartridge in your hands, dumping the rom?

Does "you" refer to me or THIA?
Also, where'd 2008 come from? Pretty sure the only year I've mentioned is 2007. People read what they wanna read or something, no wonder conspiracy nuts never gets their facts right.

Interesting.

Not really. It's completely irrelevant and of no significant importance as far as the community goes.

That, or you meant to say you sold or shipped the equipment with it...

Pretty sure I meant exactly what I wrote. Reading comprehension.

Let's figure this story out, no BS, alright?

What is there to "figure out"? Also, the only "BS" here seems to be whatever amazing way your imagination twists things or fills in the blanks ;D

-Dot lists this as one of his top 3 collection pieces way back when.

Correct. Forgot if he mentioned this when Swedish Super Play (iirc) did a two page article on THIA/Dot50Cal's collection. Seem to recall that interview being done at the same time.

-Apparently you had this game once in your hands, had the dumping material etc.

Again, does "you" refer to me, "THIA" or someone else? The cartridge reader to dump this was indeed supplied by me. Dunno how much more straight forward I can say that without leaving room for misinterpretation. The cartridge didn't exactly move a lot, since it's safer/cheaper to send a $35 piece of electronics back and forth than a $3500 cultural treasure.

-Supposedly had background rips / hex values back in 07.

Supposedly? I love how you misinterpret stuff, make things up, and also for some reason cast doubt on any facts/statements presented. Part of the bait tactics to fish for more or are you just that stupid?

-Buddy buddy with Dot

Of course, he buys stuff all the time under the impression that me and the rest of the guys will play it with him.

Let's just hope THIA's staff never gets there hand on 1.5, because if they did, they wouldn't release it, just like RE GBC. Which they had since 07.

Okay. So let's get one thing straight at the bottom of all of this; Believe what you want, but I'm pretty sure that hadn't THIA's assole staff been around to do what they do, you'd probably never have seen this game (along with a good few other things). The handycam video is all that you'd be likely to've ever seen of that game. There'd be no new footage in 2007, no content for the RE1 section (had we had the motivation to wrap it up) and there'd be no ROM dumps released once the fundraiser from the current owner reached its goal.

However, it's worth noting that it's amazing people like yourself that always makes finding, negotiating, securing and releasing these sorts of things incredibly troublesome.

I was right all along, and every disbelieved me. TSK TSK.

Sounds to me like you're being a tit (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) and I'm considering ending the night with bloodshed (upping the killcount to 6/4)

[Chris' Boob]

1) I meant 2007.

2) Okay.

3) Okay.

4) The fact Dot lied and said he never owned the RE GBC beta sounds a lot like BS doesn't it? But apparently he couldn't care less if people know he owns it now....

5) Okay, I never read it, nor do I remember him ever admitting it. He remembers me though

6) You, means you, the one making the post. You said you created the cartridge reader, and 'helped' someone rip backgrounds and values. So maybe I'm misinterpreting it as you took the rom as they dumped it with their tool, and you ripped it. But maybe you're saying you gave them the tool to dump it and they did everything themselves? They = whomever has the cartridge.

7) You just said you spent a bored night helping someone. So I dunno man.

8) That basically confirms you are all in a clique I guess.

9) Nah they helped, but they also hide a lot from the fans, I'm sure of it. I'd like the explanation of how PEOPLE who stand UP FOR THE FANS make things difficult for negotiating and what not. I'll wait for this answer. Because I've done nothing wrong :3

9) Bloodshed? Bans? Lol. Let's ban someone because they're just expressing their opinion on the whole situation, yah!!!!!! Although I have no idea what you mean by bloodshed, I'm just assuming this because you're upset.

Yes, whoever owns it, is entitled to whatever they want. But the fact people have ignored the fans is wrong.

[Wrathborne]

Generally being unappreciated in helping something people wanted to play for years would make someone upset.

You're just trolling now Boob, stop it. The fact that you're getting so worked up over something that doesn't concern you is just really bizarre.

People don't get banned for opinions, they get banned for being assholes.

Appreciate your contribution to this Carnivol!

Everything to everyone is now considered trolling. I miss the days when the word didn't exist. You think RE4 sucks? You're trolling. You think RE4 is good? Oh you are definitely trolling!!

I'm getting worked up over something that doesn't sit right with quite a few people who just won't come out and say it. It's been sealed away for ages, and Dot was in denial about it. I bet I have the original conversations from way back when too.

How am I being an asshole in any way? I'm not flaming, I'm not doing anything wrong. You and your accusations though are dragging this topic off-topic.

You clearly don't know the history of THIA. It may say I've been here since 08 but I've been hear since longer. There's a lot to learn. I'm not saying I'm not some know it all, but I'm just saying from someone who's only been here since the 10 (I'll give you 09 too) era...you missed out on a lot.

I appreciate that my favorite beta is released, in no doubt, but I just don't like being lied to. Got it? All I wanted was to clear up a few missing details from this 'story' which Carnivol has been nice enough to provide. So it's not like I'm *****ing about it.

Did you donate any money to the fundraiser?
Did you help program the Rom at all?

If the answer to both these questions is 'no', then it doesn't concern you.
This sounds more like a vendetta against Dot and Carnivol more than anything.

Oh you. But this conversation doesn't concern you, does it now? So why are you 'butting' in? Oh quite a hypocrite. You should stop dragging on this little argument, because again, it doesn't concern you. It's pretty much over. Carnivol answered what I wanted to know, and that's that.

And it (the release of the ROM and history behind it) concerns the true fans of Resident Evil. Everyone who loves the series just as I do.

[Wrathborne]

Oh you. But this conversation doesn't concern you, does it now? So why are you 'butting' in? Oh quite a hypocrite.

A Resident Evil topic, on a Resident Evil forum, about an unreleased Resident Evil game does concern me. You'd also be surprised to know that when you bring an issue forward in a public thread that it can concern anyone who reads it.

If you're gonna bring something out in the open, don't be surprised when someone makes a comment about it. If you really didn't want anyone to say anything about your opinions, you would have sent Carnivol a PM instead of attacking him.

That's common forum knowledge.

Yes, but you should really stop contradicting yourself, and stop arguing with me. I'm dropping it, why don't you do the same? You said it doesn't concern me but apparently it concerns you now? What are you talking about and why are you babbling about some random crap?

Since when is questioning someone 'attacking' by the way?

Drop it. Before the moderators and staff get more angry.
