pmpddytim Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'm going to ask my Girlfriend to Marry me . But I want to do it in a way that is uniquely me. So..... Is it possible to hack a game, say, Galaxian or Pheonix so that after you beat the first or second wave it says "Will you marry me (Name)?" ? I would need this on a cart so I can supprise her while she's playing.This is probably not possible, ( or its extremely expensive), but I figured if anyone could help me out you guys could. PM me or post a reply if you have any ideas. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 What a cool idea, I am sure someone will help you with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 That is extremely cool. I suspect a few homebrewers will be discussing this very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaXpress Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Are you kidding? Every AA member who gets married from here on out will want to order a custom-made Proposal Cartridge! Something new for the AA store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I suggest the game, Fast Food, Since there is text that appears after waves in that game already that would be probably easy to modify. Check out the Fat Albert hack.. http://www.atariage.com/hack_page.html?Sys...ftwareHackID=32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzLee Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 You can use John Harvey's Post it note cart. You would have to have someone put the text in and then burn a cart for you. -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I think an Activision game would be easier to hack like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 It should be pretty easy to implement in any game. It could also be score based, reach a certain score and the game stops and the message is printed on screen. In Galaxian for example you could even have the game continue with the message appearing on-screen. Ms Pac-Man, Frogger, etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me or post a reply if you have any ideas. Any game that displays enough text between waves could be quite easily hacked. Hacking Galaxian or Phoenix is also possible, though a little bit more complicated (you'd have to make the ROM size bigger). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kialan Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I just wanted to say congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Any 2K game would be an easy hack as well since you essentially have 2K to work with. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 It would be so cool imagine the shock on your girlfriends face when she reads the message! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Didn't someone actually do this once? Fast Food is the obvious candidate since it has that lone graphic on a black screen between levels . . . But what about hacking the Adventure Easter Egg? That would be cool . . .

Saikyo Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 yeah but the text in Adventure can sometimes be quite tricky to read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 yeah but the text in Adventure can sometimes be quite tricky to read!Plus, it's hard to do. I thought it would be pleasent to have it in an Activision game, like Pitfall! so when she explores, she see theWill you Marry Me, (Name)? easily. Now I need to know where that copyright and Activision logo is contained in the BIN . *Edit* How would you enable logo/copyright scrolling throughout the game?

UK WOMBLE Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 With my current situation, I was thinking, maybe someone could also make a cart that comes up with the message: 'I want a divorce you spiteful gold digging little cow' or something to that effect............

Mr.FoodMonster Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 well, couldnt you just put in the first part of the level, then display that? you really wouldnt NEED the rest of the game afterwords anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Actually you could have any type of message! what about these ones! "Hi Mom!" (Mum) "Drink Orange Juice Every Day To Stay Healthy!" "This Game Hack Was Brought To You By (Name)" "Keep It Up!" Any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Didn't someone actually do this once? Yes. It was on a NES cart thou, not Atari. I remember reading about it at DP some time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 well, couldnt you just put in the first part of the level, then display that? you really wouldnt NEED the rest of the game afterwords anyways. Thats exactly what I was thinking. You put in the first level, she beats it, message displayed, end of game......Now, I just need sombody to actually do it since I have absolutely no programming skills at all. PM me if you are interested in helping, I'm not rich, but we can probably work out a deal. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Please let us know how the cart proposal goes. What about a greeting cart similar to the AA Christmas cart as the wedding favor for the guests? Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Is it going to say: Will you marry me? Press left for Yes Press right for No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
