Ressurectionxtras And Compatibility Lists, For all major Xbox Emus - Atari, Nintendo, Sega, PCE! Options

Ok..

(just to be 100% sure):
1) "Any extra "*"'s throw a wrench into it." <- this is only true for the START of a line right ? If there is a '*' in the middle of the description that's ok?
2) the lines starting with '*' must NOT have any spaces before or after the * right ?

When it comes to the switch between US/NON-US I'm very sorry, but that's not possible since mobygames don't have that information as far as i can see.. :/

In 007 Racing you can get behind the wheel of James Bond's car.

You must complete missions which range from collecting something and getting out alive to much harder and complicated things. Your car is armed with many weapons including mines, rockets, lasers, smokescreens, and more.

Then, if you get bored playing by yourself you can eliminate your opponent in multiplayer missions where you have to destroy the other car, or a game mode called "Pass the Bomb", where you must pass the bomb to the other car by touching it before you blow up.

007: The World is Not Enough
Platform: Playstation

Genre: Action
Release Year: 2000

007: The World is Not Enough is a James Bond game based on the movie of the same name.

When British oil tycoon and M's friend Sir Robert King is killed in a bombing at the MI6 headquarters, it becomes James Bond's new assignment to protect his daughter and heir Elektra from further harm. Renard, a man who can't feel physical pain due to a bullet in his head, seems to play an important role in the sabotage of the ongoing construction of the new King pipeline, which can give oil to all the world for the future. The three competing pipelines all end up in Istanbul, whereas the King pipeline is being laid elsewhere, and therefore is an easy goal to anonymous attackers. James Bond involuntarily teams up with emancipated Dr. Christmas Jones, and they soon find out that there is more threat to the situation than just some pipeline sabotage.

Like Goldeneye it is a first-person shooter with controls and multiplayer options designed with console facilities in mind. It features 10 levels and three difficulty levels. The levels and dialogue are all taken directly from the movie. It also features clips and other items from the movie.  However, the game has been almost completely revamped from the original Goldeneye.

The new system throws out the free-form game play and adheres to a much more linear "cinematic" style of play. All of the sound and graphics have been completely upgraded, looking completely different than Goldeneye, but also allowing the use of authentic voice overs. The game expands upon use of gadgets (lasers, grapple hooks, darts) by incorporating them into a new weapon and item system.

The game includes a four-player multiplayer mode, this time with the ability to play with bots. Some levels are taken from single-player mode, while others are exclusive to multiplayer. There are new games modes such as king-the-hill, capture the flag, and bases which have been added since the last game. Like the last game, cheats can be unlocked through fast play speeds, but now also unlock new multiplayer maps and modes as well as traditional cheats.

If you approve the code above I'll start on PSX.
As soon as I get a synopsis layout approved for AMIGA I'll do that aswell.

[ressurectionx]

1) Yes. This is only true at the start of the line.
2) Yes. Lines starting with "*" must have no other spaces or characters in them period.

There should only be 4 types of lines that begin with the "*"
1) Line above CRC
2) Line in between headline and body
3) Line after body (URL)
4) Lines indicating a new letter "*************A**************"



Also, I'm pretty sure it's just the quotebox/forum doing it, but it looks like you may have 2 spaces between paragraphs and between the last line and the URL. Is that just my eyes playing tricks on me?

If I were you, I'd just glance over the synopsis to see how different things may be handled one last time before you begin. I think you got it down pretty sweet, but there may be a surprise waiting for you. If you got anymore questions, just let me know.

PS. Don't sweat the US/Europe stuff. It was worth a shot.

[ressurectionx]

Okay... there should be one space between each paragraph, and one space between the last paragraph and the URL. (Sorry for the confusion)


Thanks for that link. I'm too busy to sit down and chat right now, but I will start using that feature. I think it sounds like a great idea for all of us to communicate faster with each other. If I like it after I try it, I will mention it near the top of my thread so anybody can easily join.


Question... is there a way that we could verifiy people with an email address or something? I'd hate for Joe Schmo to hobble on in with RessurectionX as his handle and start saying things to piss people off.

regarding fakes: i'll read up on having the possibility to have verify checks on people though a bot. just have to read up on it abit since it's a while i was on the irc-network.



oh and btw.. vgmusic midi files rip is finished. not sure if you want it in the archive, but here it is anyways: VGM MIDI RIP

[madmab]

Credit is no problem! I'll put the url in the bottom after the description (i'll do that for whatever system so it's the same for all)

P.S. I actually hate myself aswell, glad to see you still standing upright even tho i'm here helping out ;D

Could you do the atari 800 stuff for me? I'm not sure how your doing your scraper, but for the Atari 800 there is a link I have to click on (show all games) to get to them all. Because the default Moby list only show a "best of". Anywho it should make work on the synopsis go better (if I can ever get back to it ).

sure
this goes for all systems not synopsised yet: as long as the system has a section on mobygames it can be scraped like the others.

i'll put this on the todo list. i'm finishing PSX first to see if it meets with RX's approval.

Yep... That's exactly right.

[wimpyRBX]

Yep... That's exactly right.

cool. started scraping PSX @ 21:51
will be fun to see how long it takes for it to finish..
EDIT: seems to take ~45 minutes if my math is somewhat correct.



** the images are just for my visual running update.. got tired of text updates

PSX done in 1h10m. Check PM ress.

[ressurectionx]

Man you suck...

Really dude. 1 hour and 10 minutes? That would have taken me 3 months.

Aside from missing a few of the headline categories, it's perfect. I'll have to add the main info on the top and explain that this synopsis isn't categorized like my other ones, but since I was planning on ditching the PSX work completely this is much more than anyone was ever going to get. We don't have to delete games that aren't included. They won't mess anything up. Somebody will just have to put my CD names in there and rename their own images to those names. I'd consider t0rrenting the collection if it wasn't about 25 GB or something like that. It's just too damn big to reasonably distribute, which is a shame because I spent about 2 months unzipping, renaming, altering the .cue file, and rezipping all the games to work perfectly on the Box when they're unzipped. That's after the 6 or so months it took to download all of them.

Just kidding about the you suck part. I'm glad that this will be available for people who do emulators I didn't in the future. This was the single biggest pain in the ass about making the Xtras. Well... videos come close, but those with an artistic mind seem to enjoy that process a bit more than I hated the miserable synopsis.

Thank god for beer...

Thanks again.... I'll update it with the stuff that's on all the other emus and a few tweaks and get it posted in the synopsis thread.

Later,
~Rx

[wimpyRBX]

Stop the train! Don't use that PSX.. I found out I can fetch even more from mobygames.. I'll make a new synopsis tomorrow!

I found out I can also grab this:

* Player info (1 or 2 player etc)

Saves some work atleast.. Will provide a new link tomorrow.

And thanks for the kind words mate.. Like I've said I wish I'd found you guys earlier.

Good night!

@Bigby

Great collection, man. Before we send archives to each others I suggest we build a common "database". You could use utilities like Filelister to generate text files for a start. Then we'll see what to take and then start working.
And it would be good to have an FTP.

Think we have the same screenshots, waal. Mine are mainly from gamebase amiga and lemon amiga too.

I generated those txt files you mentioned anyway (useful app by the way).

Amiga screenshots lists

Also, over at the emumovies forums there are discussions on making Amiga videos. I have an FTP account with them, so I can grab what they have done so far.

FYI for CD based systems (like PSX, Sega CD, and TG16 CD) the synopsis code will look for the closest name match. So I would suggest the game name and then the SLUS id for maximizing the chances that the user will get a hit..

For example

Grand Theft Auto SLUS_9999

In the synopsis would get a match on a .cue, directory, or .bin name of...

Grand Theft
SLUS_9999
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto SLUS_9999

Well I think you get the idea.
