What do you think about Okage: Shadow King?
>>12882301I like the dialog, but the gameplay is such a slog. It's the most basic of RPGs.
>>12882301Did this got a European relase? sounds like a niche game.
>>12882534I remember being like "I'll make my save file, and play up until first save point" and it was like 45 to 60 minutes. I don't know if I took a wrong turn or something but goddamn.
Puyo Puyo Fever 2 totally ripped it off
I remember loving this game, though if you asked me what the f*ck it was even about, I couldn’t tell you these days
A thread for anything and everything x86 gaming and x86 gaming related. Hardware, software, configuration, it all goes here. Real or emulated. CP/M, DOS, Windows 3.x, 9x, NT, 2000, ME, XP, etc. Talk about what you are playing, what hardware you have, tricks you've figured out, etc.Was digging through Windows games prior to the year 2000 on abandonware, saw a lot of JP and Russian games. Pic related caught my eye and I gave it a download. Works just fine on Windows 98SE, doesn't need JP locale installed or anything. Called Black Magic. On the main menu I saw the Ghost In The Shell guy's name on it, so I think it might be connected to Black Magic M-88. Seems to be a good and autistic mech TBS game so far, but I'll see how it goes.Useful Links:WinWorldPC - A large library of OS's and software for x86 hardware, including every revision of DOS and Windows 1.x-3.x.

The Civil War continues on.Just played through Mechanicsville, which was a hilariously one-sided stomp. The game gave me just about every artillery unit in the Union army, so cannon fire alone was able to send multiple units fleeing on the first turn. From what I've seen, the battles are a mix. They try to be historical, so the chances of a fair fight are entirely dependent on what units were actually present. Best you can do on the maps that give the other side the unfair advantage is to try and flee if possible. Sometimes you're getting stomped, and there's no way around it. Sometimes you're given an easy win.>>12883452PCem made the mistake of remaining closed source for too long. Back when it had a dedicated lead dev who was pushing it forwards, it could do fine. After that dev abandoned ship, all the people who wanted to work on x86 emulation had already moved onto 86box, so when PCem finally opened up it was too late.
>>12883452>even the performance gap may be closing at this point thanks to recent dynarec optimizationsSpeaking of

Hey guys, I need some PSU advice. Old vintage power supplies are risky because they tend to blow up and fry components, but modern power supplies don't have enough juice on the 5V and 3.3V rails. How do you deal with this?

EUAHH! ... auuuuwwhhh
Do you plan on using AI to retro-fit (no pun intended) older games, to make dream games you think should've been made, or to finish unfinished projects that were leaked, or to simply mod older games?To what degree do you think AI will be accepted within the retro gaming hobby? Strictly using it as an easy/cheap/fast way of setting up and booting titles on modern machines, or completely remastering the game with AI?
No I don’t use ai. I use. si.
So after a few tries I managed to make a lua script with Grok for Mighty Final Fight which can show me the enemies' hp. Of course that if the ram addresses for the data weren't on the net already it wouldn't have been able to do shit.
>>12883757>RAM addressesYou're very lucky, indeed. I tried using Copilot to create a romhack for a Genesis game but trying to use the BlastEm debugger was a pain in the ass. Tilelayer Pro is so archaic it's practically useless, and all of the alternatives have to be built from source.I thought I'd try generating some new GameShark codes for Crazy Taxi, but the one RAM explorer for Flycast has to be compiled from source. I thought I'd build it with MSYS2, but it's only compatible with Visual Studio, and it needs all these extensions that would eat up the remaining storage on my C: drive. I just gave up in the end.
>>12883757Why not having it so that enemy lifebar shows up below the player?
>>12883820This way they're always visible, and not only when you hit them. It was just an experiment to test things. If somebody wants to give it a try, it's for Mesen 2.1:function showHP() local mem = emu.memType.nesMemory local hp1 = emu.read(0x049C, mem) if hp1 > 0 and hp1 < 100 then local x1 = emu.read(0x036C, mem) local y1 = emu.read(0x03CC, mem) local textX = x1 + 16 if textX > 240 then textX = 240 end if textX < 0 then textX = 0 end emu.drawString(textX, y1 + 2, tostring(hp1), 0xFFFFFF, 1) endComment too long.

yay
>>12883687Now do Plutonia.
What was his problem?
This thread is valid because I'm only asking about retro gaming emulation capabilities of the console and nothing else.
>>12880126>Nintendont works natively with the Gamecube Controller Adapteryou just mean it works with the controller adapter. there's nothing native about homebrew
>>12883430>there's nothing native about homebrewBut there is. Homebrew is just as native as any game running on the metal, even emulators are native, you are just not running the game natively, but the emulator is running native... so... I mean, the sentence>works natively with the GameCube Controller Adapterdoesn’t make much sense, but neither does yours. So maybe don't police others if you are going to say something just a retarded or even more. We all know what that anon meant.
>>12882809you can find an official adapter or a homebrew one. also later wii models doesnt have GC support
Have a bit of problem, shut my wii u off after I pressed the disc eject button (forgot that i left the disc in after i shut it off) now Aroma wont start anymore, is there an easy way to check what files have become corrupted on the SD card? I have a lot on it
>>12879996>Literally fucking fries itself if you dont use it>cannot do 240p despite still using compositeNo.
Real retro editionBecause if its not a low res TV its apparently not retro even if both displays were manufactured at the same time
>>12883424How do you do this mod? What do you need? I just picked up the exact same TV for $100. Can a novice do the job?
>>12883463I would say it's an intermediate level job. Full disclosure, I've done this before and the improvement from s-video is not that drastic. It's a fun project though.https://sector.sunthar.com/guides/crt-rgb-mod/sony-kv-27s42.html#performing-the-component-mod
So what happened to that universal crt board project anyway?
>>12862209for me it's set it in a sweet spot where scanlines aren't too visible on pure whites but also where the old lady doesn't have too bad streakingjust bee yourself
Are Taxan crt monitors any good?One near me going for £40, I'm tempted because my other Sony died.
Is this worth getting into or is it a meme?
>>12882616>>12882623If I remember right, Foray outlived Young by two years.
I don't like this game. I find it too hard. I can only beat the castle stage. I can get further in GnG than I can in this. It's super frustrating. A lot of cheap tricks.
>>12882656I beat the game when I was 6
>>12880560It's way better than the remake.
>>12883847It is, but I would still recommend playing the remake too both for the novelty of it and to see what it did differently. Enough effort was put into the remake that I can't just dismiss it out of hand.
Are Peach and Yoshi the worst characters in the game?I'm playing on 150cc and I can't win a single cup with them.
I'm pretty sure they are. AFAIK the best characters in Super Mario Kart are the big guys.
>>12883634I would switch between koopa troopa and bowser. The big guy is slow at first, of course, but once he's rippin he's unstoppable.
>>12883634>>12883637Yeah, Bowser and Junior are the fastest characters, have decent handling and their weight helps a lot, having poor acceleration isn't that much of a deal when you learn how to drift and avoid traps.
Yup I’m DKJR for life, he crushes this game 150cc’sAbout 7-8 years ago I replayed this game on NSO and played to beat all cups 150cc with all characters, by far Peach & Yoshi were the hardest, just weak af and no good top speed
brits be like, oi me sonic me old mucker innit
>>12883810Bwian the Wion
Those are some pretty f'ed up legs if I've ever seen em
its a spiritual successor to Zniggy
>>12883823Zwhat??? Do you have a pass for that name, young man?
You look like a fag
I don't have any boxes, nor do I have Emerald but gens 1-3 of Pokemon were some of the only retro games I had for a while. One of my relatives let me borrow a ton of her pokemon games and handhelds when I was younger.Even though the batteries are definitely dead and I don't really enjoy vanilla Pokemon, I still like having them
>>12883812Forgot to add but:I second this >>12883785
I have Yellow, Silver, Gold, Ruby, Platinum, ,Omega Sapphire, Sun and that's it.
What retro game has the worst writing/story? No minimalist arcade stories count. It should be something that’s actually trying to do tell a narrative or be entertaining and failing miserably at it. Pic related had a lot of awful moments but is there something worse?
>>12879662in the little journal instruction book that came with FO2 it's explained that Vault 13's dissident population came to join him in exile. The first generation had plenty of supplies and whatever the Vault Dweller was scooping up during the game and after. It's 100 years, about 5 generations, between 1 and 2. It seems small but turnover in the wasteland is gonna take a toll.
>>12880083>>12880101Are you arguing just to argue? The matter has been settled in this thread that it was a pre war structure, with a valid explanation and a Fallout Bible reference.
>>12878775>back when only reddit nerds give a fuck about the series it was goodYeah no shit
>>12879128That is why it's a peak coming of age story.
>>12878207Final Fantasy VII/VIII/Xpure schizo shit
That game's on PC too.
I'm sorry but 5th Gen sucks. The only good games were arcade ports because we didn't have arcade emulation back then
>>12883758This band was so underrated after Clandestine.
>>12883758Welp guess I'll go take a leak
Why was the 90's pc scene just a bunch of edgy chuds?
>>12883583look up what ur- means, my dear poorly-read zoom zoom
>>12883589pretty sure the columbine shooters motivations had nothing to do with sex but w/e
incidentally there were a bunch of edgelords in the 2000s too
It was a better time, I'd take this over shitty "trans rights, free Palestine! [Unfunny Charlie Kirk joke]" any day
>>12883534It's not like you didn't have Mortal Kombat and similar crap on arcades and consoles.
