The year is 2024.
The Famicom version of Dance Aerobics (Family Trainer: Aerobics Studio) still cannot be emulated properly because its cartridge had a unique chip playing voice samples form its internal ROM. The sound samples cannot be extracted as binary data without decapping. Nobody has properly dumped that rom to this day.

    Why not just decap it, then? It's not like that's something that would take a lot of effort; this is tech from the 80s. That's why we're able to emulate this stuff in the first place. It's like saying you can't copy images out of an old book because no-one makes that specific ink anymore. We have Pantone; just figure out the Pantone and reprint it.

    This seems like an example of console-kiddies trying to pretend that you HAVE to play things on outdated plastic toys.

      i think its mostly this, but also because the people who have the ability to decap and get hi-res images of a die, and then reverse engineer it and fully document it have very little interest in doing so for an obscure shitty jap game from the 80s

        This is also the reason why most stuff hasn't been translated yet. By the time you've actually learned enough Japanese to casually translate text, you probably don't give a shit about translating children's toys from the 80s for the couple dozen EOP who give a shit.
        It would be "neat" to have an English translation of Kyouto Hana No Misshitsu Satsujin Jiken, but someone with the level of knowledge to do so has probably moved on to actually paying attention to other aspects of Japanese culture and not obscure adventure games on the Famicom.

        B-but Anon... We need to archive EVERYTHING

        I unironically agree... to an extent. The Family Trainer games should be preserved to some extent, but I think for something like this, just recording the sound separately is fine enough. Hell, if Bandai had M2 make a modern collection of the Family Trainer games, they'd probably replace the audio with a cleaner, modern sample anyway.

            We've had plenty of threads about how this is common with people trying to learn a language for a hobby. People often underestimate how much cultural exposure you need to fully learn a language. By the time you're starting to enter N2, you've either decided to translate professionally or are interested in the rest of Japanese culture. That's partially why fan translations take so long; most people doing translation patches are only at N4 or mid-level N3.

            This. Family Trainer games are worthless because you need the Family Trainer Mat/Power Pad to play them; which are all too damaged to use anymore. There's an Anpanman game in the same boat; no one wants to buy the carts because the only way to play them is some drawing tablet accessory that costs $1000+ because every little kid who had one smashed it or threw it away.

              The pads can be found on Ebay for like $20. They should be working ok if the original owner wasn't too rough on it. Also they were designed for 70-90 pound children to jump on, not obese adult neckbeards so probably best not to heft your 200 pound gut on it.

                It's a complete boxed package with the cart, manual, and drawing pad. Not a bad deal I would say. And I can't even plug the pad into my toaster NES, alas.

      What are you going to do? Make a horrible click bait video and call it "THE FAMICOMS HIDDEN GEM THAT CAN'T BE EMULATED" and spend 10 minutes hyping the game up as this amazing game you can only play on the OG system?

      On a unrelated note is this game playable on a everdrive?

          Do games with Famicom expansion audio work on flashcarts on NES consoles? I assume they should, just without extra sound channels as NES lacks necessary cartridge slot pins.

            Yes so long as the mapper is otherwise supported it'll play, just without whatever audio components aren't emulated/in hardware.

          • 5 months ago

            They'll send the audio down to the bottom expansion connector pins where it can't go anywhere and you'll have missing sound unless you do a mod and solder two pins on the expansion connector together but yes the game will otherwise play. But not FT or Pro Moeru Yakyuu as the sound samples are literally etched into the die of the speech chip so it cannot be emulated.
