Random question/comment of the day:

Could one make maps out of the data used to make the games on here using paint?

It came to mind from trying to use a text-based walkthrough to play Zoids Legacy.

I'm not sure I understand your question...

Are you asking if people can use images in their walkthroughs in order to better show locations (for maps and whatnot)?

If so, I think that would be up to the author. The board supports image embedding, so I don't see why not.

This was aimed at David or anyone else on here that can create the games on here. Use the data they used to create maps for that game.

No one at this site creates the games here. They are real games that existed for real consoles. Neither David nor anyone else here has data or tools or anything that was used to "create" the games. Perhaps an advance ROM hacker could extract data from the ROMs... but that's something else.

I never knew these games were available off of their consoles... That and the fact 2 of the games I've played, the timing was off on them, i thought someone created them from the actuals somehow, either thousands of gameplay hours(unrealistic, i know) or a hacker.

The games are dumps of the original cartridge data (basically, someone took the actual game cartridge, hooked it up to their computer, and ripped the data). Various people then created programs designed to read this data and try to make the games play as close to the original as possible. These programs are not perfect... but a lot are really accurate (especially systems like NES).

From these various programs (emulators), the developer of the RGR plugin modifies them to fit in with the Vizzed website for use by the public.

If the timing is off, the emulator is either not reading the game perfectly or your computer isn't running the program efficiently enough.

More than likely it was read wrong because it was going faster. Course, that could also be a sign of my computer. Last time I tried, my computer died not much after that from my own stupidity.
Any suggestions for how to get a good map, then...?

You mean the actual graphics from the game? There are probably tools out there that can extract them... but they tend to be very difficult to use. Other than that, you'll probably need a game hacker who knows what they're doing to get stuff out of the game.

Either that or play the one on here and, using print screen and paint, make it the hard way...
