Microsoft Puts An End To Halo: Online Mod

Microsoft Puts An End To Halo: Online Mod

, , , , , 0

Microsoft has ordered a mod team to stop work on a Halo: Online modification that essentially allowed users to play Halo 3 multiplayer matches on PC. The mod itself is an effort by the ElDewrito team to create a workable and feature-rich Halo game for Windows. It has been in development since official work on Halo: Online, a Russian-only port of Halo 3’s online offerings, was halted in 2016. While they didn’t send a cease-and-desist letter to the creators, they did inform them that they should stop work on the mod while the publisher investigates further to make sure its intellectual property it not being misused. “While we are humbled and inspired to see the amount of passion poured into this project, the fact remains that it’s built upon Microsoft-owned assets that were never lawfully released or authorised for this purpose,” 343 said in a statement. “As this project reverberated across the community, our team took a step back to assess the materials and explore possible avenues, while Microsoft, like

Master Mario 64 hacker Kaze Emanuar has brought us a lot of craziness over the last few months. He’s given Mario the Odyssey ability to control enemies with his hat, introduced a Mario 64 Maker program, hacked in an online mode to the game, thrown in working Portal guns, and even created an entire sequel to Mario 64 with entirely new environments and enemies (that last one wore Nintendo’s patience enough to send him a C&D). If you’ve been following his YouTube channel over the last few months, you’ve seen a series of videos importing Ocarina of Time models and environments into Mario 64. Now he’s managed to fit the entire world of Hyrule in there, and he’s officially announced Super Zelda 64. Super Zelda 64 uses the same engine as Super Mario 64, and most of the same enemies…only now they’re placed throughout Hyrule. It’s pretty surreal watching the below video and seeing familiar locations rendered a completely different way (Mario 64 has a smoother frame rate). Kaze had

Mario 64 modder Kaze Emanuar is back at it again! Previously he brought the Super Mario Odyssey hat trick into Mario 64. Then he introduced a robust level editor to the game. Now he’s created an online mode! Once you connect to a remote server, up to 24 players can simultaneously play a Mario 64 game at once. You can control any of the characters found in Super Mario 64 DS (Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Wario) as well as some new ones: Peach (who has a similar floating ability to her appearance in Super Mario 3D World), Toad, and even Waluigi and Rosalina, who didn’t have character models in Mario 64 up to this point (Kaze took care of that). As with all unofficial projects, there’s no way to tell how long Super Mario 64 Online will stay active before Nintendo C&Ds it. Kaze has had one such project brought down before: Last Impact, a full sequel to Mario 64 with new environments and enemies. However, other projects like Mario

Bethesda’s New Paid Mod System Goes Live

Bethesda’s New Paid Mod System Goes Live

The Creation Club, a newly introduced modding system from Bethesda for Skyrim and Fallout 4, has launched on PC. The service essentially works in a similar manner to previous mods for those two games but adds an extra review system by the publisher to ensure that the new content works flawlessly with the game. This internal quality control comes with the price though, with mods that come through the Creation Club costing credits that can only be purchased with rea-life money. The system is currently in beta on Steam for Fallout 4 but will come to Skyrim and the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the near future. Users will be given a complimentary 100 credits when they first sign into the Creation Club, with that amount roughly translating to $1. These credits are transferrable between the two games on Xbox One and PC but are exclusive to each title on the PlayStation 4. As you might have guessed, players are less than thrilled about this new paid system that

Wynncraft Mod Is A Huge MMO Built Within Minecraft

, , , , 0

Fans of MMOs and Minecraft are in look, as a brand new mod called Wynncraft has been released as a free download for the PC version of the game. Built entirely within the hugely successful world building title, the mod is a fully fledged MMO, including questions, NPC characters, bosses, and even guilds. Wynncraft has been in development for four years, with several of the team behind it putting in full-time hours to get it released. It’s also entirely free to download and play, as long as you have a copy of Minecraft, with the developers relying solely on in-game item sales for funding. An idea about the scale of the world that has been created can be seen in this map, which shows the in-game location of 4000 x 5500 blocks. You can see a trailer for the mod below and get details about how to download and install it at the official site.

Five Things Learned From Hacking Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Five Things Learned From Hacking Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Two game modders who go by the handles MrBean and Chadderz have created what they’ve deemed the “Accio Master Code,” a hack for the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild that allows any object in the game to be spawned anywhere. MrBean used his new creation to create some amusing videos (they’re a must-watch and can be seen at the end of this post). Through these wacky shenanigans, he uncovered game mechanics and physics quirks nobody ever knew about, because they were next-to-impossible to recreate in the original game. Like these….. If the game senses there are more objects on the screen than it can handle, it automatically triggers a Blood Moon and resets everything. MrBean discovered this by summoning a billion birds. There is a limit to how many Heart Containers you can collect (30), but there doesn’t appear to be one for Stamina Vessels. Even though there is no on-screen indicator Link has more than the game can give him, it still counts the extra stamina

The NES Classic Hack Now Allows For All 700+ Games

The NES Classic Hack Now Allows For All 700+ Games

, , , , , 0

Shortly after the release of the NES Classic, hackers found a way to alter the code of the device to accept more than just the 30 games that came with it. The hack was primitive at first, but eventually a way was found to store as many as 80 games on the Classic. The ultimate goal was to find a way to store every game, but the problem was, there was a wall that prevented this from happening: the fact that the Classic’s internal storage had a limit of 300 MB. But after months of experimentation, it looks like the hack has now achieved the 700-plus games goal. What made it possible was the newly-added ability to use zipped files, and the much-needed use of a folder system. Cluster, the author of the patch known as Hakchi, says this newest update is the most intuitive one to use yet. He’s even added a Turbo Button feature that works via the X and Y buttons on the Wii Classic Controller (there’s

Skyrim Special Edition Console Mods Are Up And Running

Skyrim Special Edition Console Mods Are Up And Running

One of the main selling points of Fallout 4 when it launched earlier this year was the fact that it supported the use of mods on consoles, giving players the chance to alter the base game and add their own additional content to the title. Considering that Skyrim is still one of the most played games on Steam thanks to its vibrant mod community, this seemed like a great way to inject new life into the ageing title alongside the upgraded visuals. Users can filter all of the available mods through a variety of types, which include user interface, graphics, and cheats. Unfortunately, those using a PlayStation 4 are severely limited in the mods they can upload as external assets cannot be included in any of the files. This means that the versions being released on Xbox One are usually much deeper and include far more extra content than those on the Sony console. Any mods that are activated during gameplay also disable the achievement systems in all versions of

There are countless mods, hacks and unofficial sequels of Mario’s 2D games floating around the Web. But past the point when the series moved to 3D, not so much. It’s a lot trickier to rearrange the elements of a level made of polygons than it is to alter one made of pixels and sprites. However, it CAN be done. The most elaborate effort to date was released to the world recently thanks to Kaze Emanuar, a man whose specialty is Mario 64. He’s gone under the game’s hood before and produced altered takes on it, but nothing to date like Super Mario 64: Last Impact. Most Mario 64 hacks consist of alternate textures, or taking the Mario model and altering it to be someone else (it’s possible to play as Yoshi or Toad if you can find the right patch). In this one, EVERY LEVEL is different. The effort took Kaze over a year. SM64: Last Impact includes 15 new worlds, 130 new stars, and even new power-ups based on

Thanks to the efforts of a group of fans, players can now get back to playing Battlefield 2142 online once again. The group, calling themselves Revive, have now released a fully working version of the game that brings back support for online multiplayer. It’s apparently proved pretty popular as it has already seen a large number of downloaded and more than 1,000 concurrent users over the weekend. To get your hands on Battlefield 2142 Revive, simply head over to the team’s own site and grab the relevant files and launcher. Once installed, you can connect to the private servers and start shooting people with Mechs just like in the good old days. Battlefield 2142 first released in October of 2006 and went on to become a firm fan-favorite in the Battlefield series amongst its strong playerbase. Despite the fact that it still regularly attracted a large audience, all official online components were deactivated in 2014 due to the shutdown of GameSpy – something that EA and DICE were unwilling or

Sega’s Genesis and Mega Drive Classics hub has only been out a few days, but it’s already got dozens of mods available. Like these…. Some of the mods just update existing games. This mod for Ecco the Dolphin, for example, adds the improvements made to the Japanese version of the game. The same approach was taken for this bug-free version of Phantasy Star II. This is called “Streets Of Rage 2 Except It Makes That Weird Tim Allen Noise When People Die.” Upon launch, it was on the top of the charts for a while. https://youtu.be/DLmVAjnvAY4 Sonic 3 Complete is currently the most popular mod. It’s a combination of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles (which were developed as one game, then split in two), and it adds a menu for easy access and customization the Genesis games never had. Somewhere overseas, an illegal NES game was sold called “Somari” that placed Mario into Sonic’s world (and given it was technically a port of Sonic 1 for the NES, it

Hackers Get Windows 95 To Run On A New 3DS

Hackers Get Windows 95 To Run On A New 3DS

The announcement came from GBATemp.net: someone by the screenname shutterbug2000 got Windows 95 running on his New Nintendo 3DS, and he provided photos and video evidence to prove it. Others were soon able to accomplish the feat per his instructions. Folks have gotten emulated games to play on Nintendo consoles before — at least for a week or so before Nintendo patched the exploits they found — but this is the first time en entire operating system has been made to run on one. Emulation is difficult, and often requires significantly more power than the device being emulated (eight times is a number I’ve heard thrown around). This is likely why the newest model of the 3DS is being made to run an operating system that’s twenty years old as opposed to anything close to current. Right now loading Windows is the extent of how far they’ve gotten: they won’t be able to load ancient PC programs or use any of the built-in features until they tinker with it further.
