>I want to play Secret of Evermore, but I found out there's a bunch of bugs with it.

Kids back in the day didn't find that out, for the most part, because the bugs aren't very important. Just play the game normally. It's fine. It isn't going to lock up midway through. The most broken thing about this game by far is that the developers rushed the last part of it. Unless you somehow find a patch to fix that, you needn't bother with patches.

Well I just told you not to bother with the patches but then I went ahead and tried it myself on that site. I got the same error:
>Error patching the uploaded file.
>Exceeded filesize limit (expected 3145728 or 3146240 bytes).
>Please return to the index and try again.

Like your file, mine has what seems to be the right size. I also went ahead and checked the hashes given by the site:
>CRC-32 a5c0045e
>MD5 6e9c94511d04fac6e0a1e582c170be3a
>SHA-1 79e7738630fff5699217ef58ecc421bc8fcbcd89
My file matches all three perfectly.

Tentative conclusion: The site is busted.

Further data: I downloaded some SNES ROM editing/analysis tool and used it to add a header (empty I guess? I dunno how ROM headers work or what they mean) to the file. This gave it the size of 3146240 bytes, as the patching site suggests it should. I submitted it to the patching site. The same error was produced.

Oh, and... maybe your manually patched game was crashing because you used an unheadered ROM? The patching site claims the patches are for a headered ROM, after all. I suggest trying those patches after adding a header yourself. Here is the tool I used to do that:
https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1638/
It's very easy to use.

I have no idea whether this would work. I have run out of motivation for this and no longer care enough to try it myself.

>>10886023
Apply them manually using a multi-IPS patcher like flips or whatever is newer.

The guy even mentions it on his blogpost that links the patchsite but assumes people are retarded and can't search "multi-ips patcher" in a search engine. He's also nice enough to link the page he jacked the patches from. Grab the patches and do it yourself, it's gui operated anyway.

FFVIII is better in every way possible

it's not an rpg, it's a trpg

in fact it does away with most of the real rpg elements and is more strictly a tg really

in an rpg, you make characters and that's it, in disgaea 2 (and later ofc) you can use reincarnation to simply make a new character class with the same character, the item world is great, the politics aspect of it, it's quite unique and they got it all nailed with that game, even all the new ones are just minor enhancements, nothing really new worth bugging your eyes out over, d2 is still the tops

What is the best Disgaea if I don't like grind autism?

>>10886523
Any. People who complain about grind are cretins, since that it's about optional, post-maingame stuff.

>if I don't like grind autism?
It's probably not for you. D2 is as complicated as it needs to be. But it's more or less all about grinding and battles.

You don't follow a story and do battles in a linear fashion usually, you can warp and do and redo any battle. In fact you need to do this to gain levels. It's also got throwing, you can pick up a buddy or even an enemy and lift them, then either throw them or wait and get lifted, then get these ridiculous towers going but throwing your buddies allows them to save a turn

I don't think it's autism mode, I just don't want magic items and medieval doors in my new millennium doll house simulator.
the dogs and cats loitering around are fine, the rest is not.

>>10885368
Out of curiosity, why are you okay with the base game having ghosts but draw the line at other supernatural stuff?

>>10885406
the short answer is nostalgia.
the long answer is that ghosts are part of the base game, and they don't come with dozens of medieval decorations clogging the buy mode.
another example is the family creator, to create a single, humble sim you have to scroll through what looks like a Roman emperor, a solider straight out from half life 1 and other sci-fi costumes.
it's nice to have options, but in this case I really don't think they go with the base game

>>10883549
wow, look at mr diogenes here.
but yes i agree with your post

>>10858737
It's actually pretty cool that there are a ton of C&C outfits in this game, wish there weren't so much grind though, not too long ago I played it the entire fucking day going to work and fixing the needs and I didn't even notice how it became dark outside.
Also, TS2 is great when it comes to the 00s atmosphere, and helicopters are the best transport in the entire series, by the way.

Almost nobody who owns physical hardware is actually buying games. Go look at the price of any desirable game for Saturn on eBay. You buy a stack of CD-Rs and look for good recommendations and maybe get into homebrew. Why doesn't everyone do this?

Is "instant death" really a status though? That's the only one that's sometimes good in some FF games.

FF9 is a gem.

>>10886101
They can always have skills tied to certain weapon types apply different effects. This allows the player to deal some damage while applying things like debuffs or status effects without making it feel like a wasted turn if the status effect doesn't get applied.

>>10886107
its a status because usually you can get items to become immune to it

>>10881545
>>bosses are immune to them
This is mostly a Final Fantasy problem, Megami Tensei, Wizardry, and SaGa do not have this problem.

You don't need 6 buttons to remap. All Neo Geo games use 4 buttons.

>>10883741
Launchbox and the ease of playing on a 75" big screen in my living room has spoiled me.

I actually have two arcade cabinets in my garage that I just got repaired last fall. One is a Dr. Mario for my wife and the other is Star Wars upright that I bought back in college.

I found that I don't use either of them enough to warrant owning a cabinet anymore, and with a yoke controller it's really a better experience sitting in my recliner than standing at some cabinet or on a bar stool.

>>10886419
>garage
I own a 6 slot Big Red Neo Geo arcade cabinet, and a Dynamo Cabinet (that has a switcher that can switch between Street Fighter and Marvel VS Capcom 2)

I originally kept them in the garage. They didn't see as much play because I didn't go into the garage as much. Out of sight, out of mind.

I moved them inside the house as an experiment, and noticed an instant change. I would play it more often because it was...there. It was easier. Walking by the Neo Geo running the attract screen and I would do quick game of Metal Slug or KoF. I keep a bowl of quarters next to the arcade machines for authenticity. I sometimes challenge myself to see how far I can go on a single quarter.

I've found that keeping inside the house makes a huge difference than keeping in the garage. When I have friends or family visit, they instantly see the arcade cabinet and want to play which is fun.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you keep your arcade machines nearby, then you will want to play them more often. Make it easier on yourself.

BlastEm is crash prone, clownmdemu is in its infancy, Genesis Plus GX means using RetroArse, and none of them can emulate 32X.

I never really had an issue with Snes9x until I noticed Star Fox ran too fast. I looked it up and issues with SuperFX games have been reported for years and it would say it's fixed but it's not.

>>10886057
For me it's using a Free McBoot hack on a PS2 memory card and using that to play emulated PS1 games from a USB stick. A lot of games had missing textures so it's not all it's cracked up to be

>>10886210
Yeah, Star Fox is a VERY speed/timing-sensitive game. It's one of the few SNES games where timing inaccuracies actually affect gameplay. This only became a much more widespread problem with N64 emulation, though.

Having to use the 68000 ruined the entirety of Amiga.

>>10884507
Nope.
The Amiga was a nice system because of its custom chips for graphics and sound.
Commodore did not invest in upgrading those chips, instead they fucked over the engineers and went with laughable stop gaps.
What are you gonna do with a fast cpu, when your custom chips are still from 1984, just upgraded to use more ram and colors? Not much, is what.
What if you put in a fast x86 CPU, a graphics card and a sound card? Might as well use a PC then.

A nice all-in-one system with hardware-accelerated graphics and good sound built in, that could compete with the PC in the 90s? That could have worked.
But that didn't happen. The Amiga was a mid-80s computer and it was good at that.
Then Commodore missed the bus going into the 90s. And that's all she told.

>>10884507
all the engineers that made the amiga great were already left or got fired after the amiga 500
commodore died because it was just run by out of touch businessmen whose big idea to save the amiga was the cd32

I've wondered how Amiga would have fared if Tramiel's Atari had gotten the tech. My belief is it would have been more successful. The ST form factor and price at the time made for a more successful system, it had a ton of games and was targeted by publishers, it was way more affordable than the Amiga 1000 too. While the AmigaOS was nice, there was little commercial value to it at the time and those who were after workstation OS were buying Unix.

So in my alternate universe, Atari launches the Amiga based ST with GEM-based OS. Commodore manages to get out their Unix workstation but like everyone else they make their money from PC clones.

>>10885839
AKA: Amiga 500, but released in 1985? That would have made it more popular. Not a C64 Killer, but maybe closer; like eight to ten million units sold, intead of five.
Now imagine, the engineers got their wish and updgraded the custom chips according to plan: small steps in 1987/1988 = AGA chipset, big steps in 1991/1992 = AAA chipset. It would have murdered the early 5th gen likes of 3DO and Jaguar.
But then the Playstation and 3d accelarators on PC would have steamrolled it anyway. I would give the best case scenario an extended life expectancy of 2-4 years and double sales for the Amiga. But it wouldn't have changed its fate.

first off, aware /vr/ on why this version is sought after

hi guys, thanks for both of your replies. possibly i cannot convince you to go on a hunt for this copy, but i will explain, that back in 2001 there was a cracker/warez group named KALISTO and they released this way back on release day for GTA 3, the very day. they were pro in what they did.

how they did it though is very intriguing, they removed some radio stations off the game and squished them in other stations, and removed a lot of clutter files to put the entire game on a CD. its so effing awesome, i just wish i could get my hands on an ISO of it. not even a disc, just an iso for the pcsx2 emulator.

again, i probably cannot convince anyone, its a big deal for me because of what it was at the time and still is. it means a lot to me, i wish i could find it. it matters a ton
