....I haven't even opened the box yet, imagine if there's something wrong with the item and I have to send it back in this
@Foxhack Yeah but like 3D and way more flexible
i've always had trouble fleshing out my fursona's design & i think a big part of it is because i don't have a great visual imagination
what would be really great is like a video game character creator but for fursonas so i could see a visual representation while i mess around with features and sliders and colours until i land on something i like... and then i could send that to artists as a reference
if someone made that i would definitely subscribe to your patreon or whatever
@DanaTheElf Yeah it's not too likely tbh but I couldn't totally rule it out
Probably your best bet though is to speak to someone with decent SNES technical knowledge, they could probably figure out the issue pretty easily, i'm just generalising from my experience with GB stuff here
@DanaTheElf hm if it was only ever released on that cart it's also possible it specifically makes use of the multicart's bank switching to swap in translated assets or something 
@DanaTheElf It does sound like you mightve been lucky enough that the game you want is present in the first bank in which case you might have all the data & the issue could just be that its not in the right place or the emulator is detecting the size wrong or something
But if you're not lucky the data was split across bank boundaries and you don't have all of it
@DanaTheElf Yeah that sounds like a mapper thing, what's probably happening is it has multiple 4MB rom banks and requires some specific write to some address to read any other banks, otherwise it'll just give you the first one. The only way to dump the whole thing would be to use a dumping device that allows you to customise the reads/writes performed and then reverse engineer the menu code to figure out what they are, its not trivial sadly
@DanaTheElf You might have already seen this but if it helps any this person seems to have been successful in extracting games from a Woodi SFC cart https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/discussions/822
@DanaTheElf I don't have experience with SNES specifically but the usual issue with multicarts isn't compression but rather that they use custom memory mappers that standard dumping tools don't support and typically aren't emulated either. if you're trying to extract a specific game the issue is probably either the full data for that game wasn't dumped or it's not in the right place, but couldn't say which without seeing it really
oh wait that's what happened! so i'm still good actually!
nothing quite like the relief of finding out i don't have to do shit
hm apparently all my websites certificates are going to expire in three days even though they should have been getting auto-renewed🥲 I hate how fucking HTTPS has made my formerly zero-maintenance websites need fucking maintenance now

I drew a barbarian @RachelRox yesterday for reasons. It came out pretty well :3

The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop.
He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.”
“Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?”
"That would be wonderful," says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones.
He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?”
The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track.
Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, "No, this just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognize any of these sounds."
The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track.
The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage.
"This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!"
The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over.
"What seems to be the problem, sir?"
"This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!"
The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly.
"I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side."

tbh i would name something "http arse" completely intentionally, given the opportunity
Anyway sorry I've been dumping my thoughts about this case into this thread over the course of like 24 hours now. It will happen again
It would probably be useful if I'd posted this on Twitter where there's a whole load of hyperbole going round about this case and not much sober analysis but I also can't be fucked to deal with the responses I'd get on there so I'm not going to
