I have been curious for awhile is the Secret of Mana Battle System able to be emulated with Verge, if so has it been done and where might I find some information on how to impliment it...

I don't recall if it's been done already. I think it could be done, though it might require re-doing the entity system (if I'm wrong somene yell at me)

I don't think anyone's ever emulated a Secret of Mana battle system, but some have made Zelda-type battle systems. I strongly believe any type of 2D battle system can be emulated with Verge2 though.

I think it has been done with a varying amount of success (to my knowledge, very very few BS attempts have come out of dev with spit and polish applied).
To make your own would definitly require a Zaratustra-like hijacking of the render/control loop. Do you know how to do that? Was there ever a good tutorial for that?

Hm... The "render/control loop". I've seen that quite a few times with Zaratustra's scripts. If you're not familiar with it, it pretty much goes like so:
int timer2; //Ensures little/no lag.
int endloop; //figure it out :)
void MainLoop()
{
int done;
timer2=timer;
while (!done)
{
while (timer2

Seems to have cut me off... How strange. Maybe I'll post it somewhere else.

The entire battle system, as well as the entire game was programmed by one man: Nasir Gebelli. He was a legend in programming for Apple II back in the day and programmers like John Romero were quoted to have looked up to the guy. I think Secret of Mana was his last solo programming effort with Square(He also programmed Final Fantasy 1-3 single-handedly).

Do you mean he single-handedly programmed Final Fantasy 1-3 Japan or 1-3 US?

In Japan, as in FF1-3 for the NES.
Interestingly enough, John Romero recently submitted a picture of him here.
