Just run a DOS/Win95/whatever you need virtual machine. Modern hardware is fast enough to emulate a entire hardware and software environment.

>Modern hardware is fast enough to emulate a entire hardware and software environment.
Only very slow configurations.
>virtual machine
Virtualization doesn't emulate the CPU, only GPU and peripherals and those can run natively too if you set up a passthrough. PCem is the actual software emulator of old PC configs.

How the fuck can this absolute piece of garbage software be in the current state while PCSX2 and RCPS3 exist, which both emulate a much more complex hardware?? I thought Xbox architecture was x86 and thus supposedly to emulate?? Even Xenia emulates X360 better and without crashes. What a sick joke.

If you care about accuracy, then why are you emulating to begin with?
>w-well it's not emulation, that's the point
Oh right, it's playing a version of the game that's been meddled with by trannies and the code unironically altered, often with "features" you can't disable. Very accurate, yes.

A litany of PS1 games
The shitty ET game, the awesome Casper game, Crash Team Racing, Crash 1-3, Crash Bash, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (my parents made us turn the music off, we just listened to skateboard noises), Jet Moto 2, Sheep, Toy Story 2, and probably a couple others I forget.

I've found some of the old notes I had taken and the best ending is only seen on the Hard difficulty in the US and PAL versions, but on Normal in the JPN version

As a general rule in the JPN version mini-bosses have less HP, health pick-ups restore more HP, some enemies have less HP too; and there are differences in enemy placement that makes it easier

There is in favour of the JPN version but I'm not 100% sure it is true. It seems that this boss has different behaviour that makes him more interesting whereas he's kind of a push over that does nothing in the US version
>>
>>11380503
JPN version also gives more MP for special attacks. This helps in some tight situations.

Got it. Well I swallowed my pride and downloaded the Japanese version since I can get the real ending on that one. We'll see how it goes!

I've been trying to get silent Hill and Simon's Quest on Game Center CX for years, specifically to see how Arino handles the puzzles.

He's done RE1-3 and breezed past them. None of the puzzles in 1 gave him much difficulty.

Watch the F-Zero X episode where arino completely bombs the game in a very unfun way. It's 12 hours of him flying off the end of stages. If they were faking it why would they include that? That ep put any doubts that anything in the show is faked.

Most of the words said are narration in some form or the other, written by script writer Kibe. It's not a secret who he is or what he does on the show.

For SH1, Arino will likely get stuck in some action segments, but breeze through the puzzles.

This is the one thing I don't like about the Turok remaster. I struggled with the game on n64. With kb+m I just flew through it.
>>
>>11381124
You should also replay the remaster with an N64 controller and its default aim-snapping for a full and proper comparison. Turok's also a weirder case because it was out for Windows later the same year in 97.

There's an extremely good fan made patch for the pc release of SH2, look up the Enhanced Edition (it's NOT the HD Collection.)
>>
>>11381050
Yeah I saw that, but it's soulless and inauthentic. When people say SH2 is a masterpiece they are talking about SH2 on PS2
>>
>>11381063
I've played the shit out of both the original PS2 release and the Enhanced Edition and if you disable the new textures for inventory items and memos (you can do both in the settings, it has a ludicrous amount of customization) and the dumb color filter they have enabled by default for some reason, it's almost 1-1. The only thing I really noticed different is that James transitions into strafe movements more smoothly in EE, as in if you are running and start strafing he does it without any hiccups whereas in the original there's a pause.
>when people say SH2 is a masterpiece
I think that's people overly praising a very well done story with loads of cool symbolism without really understanding it for the sake of sounding intelligent for the most part, but those factors aren't lost or changed in EE.

I recently played through SH3 via SMB on my slim, one time it crashed when my computer went to sleep but otherwise worked flawlessly
If you have mechapwn installed it's also extremely easy to play burned discs.
No hate for actually buying the game but you have a lot of other options on the slim.

Nah, WoF is too methodical and slow-paced, relatively speaking. AvP is more of a successor to C&D and The Punisher, while SoM is a spiritual successor to KOTR.

WoF is basically its own thing, it shouldn't really be compared to anything to be honest.

What are your favorite games to play on this today, that still hold up well?

I am trying to get into the PSX library because I didn't play it much growing up, but I am struggling to find games that actually hold my attention, even though I love plenty of 3rd gen, 4th gen, and 6th gen games. Every game I've played so far on it has just felt clunky, awkward, and slow. They aren't terrible, but they are just really boring and forgettable, and I feel like I'm having to force myself to keep playing them.

I have played SH1 and RE1 (still need to play RE2 and RE3). They're good, but like 7/10 games at best; I wouldn't really feel like I was missing out if I never played them.

PSX just really doesn't have those heavy hitter, peak of their genre, timeless classics like other consoles.

No remaster can be worse than Warcraft III Reforged. It's one thing to release a subpar remaster with superficial visual upgrades or compromised art direction, but to go out of your way to retroactively fuck up the original game and stab your multiplayer and modding community in the back is a fucking disgrace that can never be forgiven.

Post the current flight game you're playing, or ask other anons about flight games you might be interested in trying. Just started F-16 Multirole Fighter by Novalogic.
