Gaming / Re: Vertical loop glitches in Sonic Superstars

« Last post by G.E.R. on January 07, 2026, 07:14:00 am »

Finally I was able to run this game with Camera Mod. This allowed to see full levels without the need to use my glitchy scripts for free movement on levels. Also this allowed to captured full foreground blocks from game screen without reconstructions. I want to update some maps later by using it, but it the meantime, I recorded one interesting video: how will view this vertical-looped sections on maximum zoom out? It looks like there's actually more unreachabled rings + duplicate of spikes and enemies

At 1811 maps to go

J2ME maps ripped very easy, it need just set true resolutions of levels and captured 1-4 screenshots from emulator. I think this value could well be achieved by ripping all Java 2D-platformers

I could have sworn we had another topic here about the map count on VGMaps.com, but when I search for "count", this is the only topic that comes up.  Weird.

I did another count today, and we're at 48,189 maps.

In a bit shy of four years, the site has grown by almost 30%.

Especially considering how high on the list they already were, the NES and Genesis sections grew an impressive amount, no doubt due to zagato blackfist's attempt to get all of the NES games mapped, and G.E.R. going crazy on Genesis games, including the ones on the Genesis Mini and the Genesis Mini 2.  Of course, they're not the only ones; so, many thanks go to everyone for their contributions to any and all sections of VGMaps!

At 1811 maps to go, it seems very likely that we will receive our 50,000th map in 2026.

I'm hoping to get back into the groove this year.

It seems that my "If Mega Man 2 Robot Masters Were Human" and "If Mega Man 3 Robot Masters Were Human" Shorts are doing really well for watch time for my channel, and people have been asking for more, so I might as well finish off the original trilogy by doing the same idea to the first Mega Man game (with the two extra Robot Masters from Mega Man: Powered Up, might as well)!

Much of the internet has fallen to the AI menace. There are even AI ghouls imitating us over on that fake website. These forums are like Helm's Deep, a last human enclave against the encroaching scrapers of darkness.

Don't get all dramatic on us about that. Best thing now is pray for that to be halted. Really. It won't last for long. Just continue on your projects and ignore.

Map Gab / Prima Dere - additional map

« Last post by yevrowl on January 03, 2026, 09:16:19 pm »

After completing the game, “Prima Dere” has two more short mazes that demonstrate the developers' dark humor.
The main map is already available — https://maps.speccy.cz/map.php?id=PrimaDereZX
An additional map is attached as an attachment.
