a) This thread has a lot of responses since you are ridiculous.

b) The threads you are talking about with "no one helping" are unreasonable requests, just as this one. Either they are outright "I can't do anything, so please someone do this for me" or "Here is specific game X and I need specific thing Y done", which no one who hasn't actually worked on the game can answer - which leads back to the first case, it's unreasonable to expect someone else to get that deep into a game just to help someone who doesn't want to bother. Topics with sensible questions that can be answered without game specific knowledge, or with very specific questions that are sufficiently described get pretty much always responses. If you can't tell the difference, you really don't have a clue what you are requesting. If you actually knew, you'd know that the sum you are proposing is quite insulting. What you want is a project that can keep someone busy for a year. And it has nothing to do with difficulty. It's the volume of what you are asking.

Yep, would have gotten very few responses because you're asking someone to do all the work, researching and understanding how the game works, for you.

The amount of money is immaterial.

Romsstar, $100 is a pretty small sum of money. If you think there is really only $100 worth of effort involved, why are you trying to recruit somebody else to do the work? If you've ever written a utility you'd realize the enormous amount of effort that goes into even a seemingly simple utility. Do you really think that somebody could make such a utility in half a day? Or, just how little do you think our time is worth?

I never implied Gemini isn't skilled but that this task is maybe even too hard for him that's why he turned it down.
Maybe it is  a presumption but after all this is no easy task I guess.

Genimi can redo SNES games to PlayStation games???

Then that makes him the new lord of romhacking,

Because PSX games are a mix between SNES and N64, as well as a CD player!

*Grins at MIPS variation,*

First: you answered yourself, since you said they did it for fun. They weren't asked by some random guy to make a tool for a random game they probably don't even have interest in (which, by the way, I think, is one of the main reason for a hacker to do something).

Second: I have no knowledge in PSX hardware, but comparing a psx game to a GBA pokemon game seems pretty out of place, since pokemon is generally way smaller than a PSX game, not to mention that PSX have 3D graphics (they do, don't they?), while pokemon just have maps formed by predeclared blocks, which really isn't a big deal at all.

Once again, not knowing anything about PSX mechanics I may be wrong, but it seems that building a tool for a psx game would take too much time if compared to the requester's attitude and offer.


If you really want to disprove Gemini, give him ten thousands of dollars and see if you won't receive a well packed tool with a shiny ribbon on it (you're going to receive it for sure since you are being such a nice and enlightened person [sarcasm]).
