Are we able to play romhacks of OoT on SoH yet so I can play them with a better framerate? I have no problem with how OoT looks, but I can't deal with the 20fps. I don't even need 60fps, just bumping it up to 40fps is enough.

Does the Majora's Mask Recomp do the interpolation differently than SoH? Somehow it looks a bit less jarring to me.

Neoquest 2 was one of the best browser RPGS. Neoquest 1 feels like a solo RPG and really like an early Famicom RPG while neoquest 2 is like a 4 party member linear RPG with occasional opportunities for grinding but a story with cutscenes when you go from zone to zone and after major bosses

>>
>>12067604
Theme Park is alright. Not bad but lacks depth. Comfy enough for me to play it over a weekend on my Mega Drive.
Roller Coaster Tycoon is basically a direct upgrade, but a bit too busy to be played comfortably on a console. The Xbox version is there if you want to try though.

PS2 suddenly keeps freezing. Sometimes it freezes right on boot up, before even getting the starting screen, sometimes it freezes 10 minutes into gameplay. Is it kill?

Fan vents look clean.
>>
>>12067649
Recalibrate the laser lens. It's easy. As it's powering on, quickly unplug it. Wait 20 seconds, plug back in. Then when it's booting up the menu screen unplug it again. Wait 20 seconds again.

That usually fixes most DRE and freeze issues.

If not, then consider replacing the console's battery. Yes it has one. That's how it saves console settings even when there's no power to it. It's cheap at less than $10 while lasting for a solid 2 decades.
>>
>>12067649
If it's freezing without even trying to boot into any games then that's quite bad. Maybe NAND corruption or some other type of system memory failure.
Confirm that the fans are actually spinning when the system boots up and it's not overheating, and if you're comfortable try opening it up and cleaning it out with compressed air and 91% IPA. While it's open make sure everything looks firmly connected internally.
>>
>>12067671
I should also add that this hinges upon you having tested it without a disc in. If it's only freezing in the game then it's just your laser going out. Those are easy to fix or replace.
>>
>>12067671
>>12067673
Thanks yeah, unfortunately I’ve tried with no disc in. I mostly use OPL with MX4SIO, but I’ve tried with those cards removed, and with a disc in, and no disc in, and it can still freeze.

Fans are actually spinning. I guess I’ll try opening it up and see what’s what in the guts.

I don't like it for a bunch of reasons in the first place but the wolf segments drained my will to keep playing entirely. How does it compare to wind waker and skyward sword in term of shit pacing and shit mechanics?

>>12066521
there's sections like those in ss except they're way shorter, you have to keep moving between pools of light so you don't get killed. it's pretty fun actually. definitely some padding parts too though like having to kill the same boss four times or the tadtone collecting part. ww it depends on how you feel about the sailing, although the intro is way worse than tp's imo.

Skyward Sword is the worst 3D Zelda, incredibly boring and feels like you are on rails the whole game through, not only the intro.Twilight Princess is the last soulful Zelda game, with a comfy village intro.

IIRC, the original unmodded game doesn't play nice on anything newer than WinXP SP1. I remember that since I refused to upgrade my old WinXP computer past SP1 precisely because I read in the forums somewhere that Shandalar would crash more often on SP2 and newer.

Why rabbits anyway? Can anyone imagine any other type of pet that would've suited the Doomguy just the same as rabbits, or even better? That's if we exclude those humorous texts and ending slides from the game for such theories to exist of course, as if they never existed.

On this day, October 1st, both Mega Man X4 and Resident Evil released for the Sega Saturn in the US back in 1997
How do you feel about these games?

>>12067421
Megaman X4 is the best megaman game ever made, at least in my opinion.

It's a fairly good port of resident evil, which itself is a good game, I'm not a mega fan or anything but I have respect for it.

Every time I see that RE cover I think of the Charlie Brown walking into his parents having sex song.

>>12067502
In both cases some aspects are worse but some others are better or unique
For example Saturn MMX4 has some missing transparency effects and the FMVs look slightly worse, but the music tracks are longer, loop seamlessly, and some stages also have nice background effects not present in the PS1 version
In the case of Saturn RE it's graphically slightly worse but the game has some cool unique content not present in any other release like exclusive costumes, the Tick enemy, two Tyrants in Chris's scenario, a Battle mode with zombie Wesker and a golden Tyrant, and the Japanese version has the least amount of in-game censoring out of any release

ok, i admit i cheated by clamping to make it as perfect as possible.
pic rel is without clamping.
mupen/parallel analog sensitivity must be 105 to better match, otherwise the emulator maximum analog value is 80.
i use gamepad phoenix to finetune the stick and make it have a similar sensitivity curve as the n64 stick.
moving the "sensitivity" slider to -60 i find it to act very similar, at least in goldeneye with my kingkong 2 pro.
in this pic it "max limit" is set to 0, in the previous it was set to 12.
the n64 stick accelerates quickly at the beginning then slows down towards the end.
maybe it was on purpose to combat worn down sticks, idk.
but that's why using a regular linear curve stick feels wrong, because they are "less" sensitive where n64 games expect them to be, at the beginning of the stick travel.
>>
>>12067129
oh, and dolphin calibration is genius, but very specific to it.
i've not seen anything similar in any other emulator or software in general.
>>
>>12065361
I've been saying this on this board for years. I have no fucking idea why do many people say to get this. The fucking sharkpad and makopad have better benchmarks then this.
>>
>>12065361
I ordered one of those 8bitdo n64 pads, has anyone reliable done a benchmark on those? It isn't coming for another week or so, I am not that worried regardless but I'm curious.
>>
>>12067447
I think when they came out their gates were wrong like in >>12067230 but then they used software to clamp the values like >>12066175
Although it has accurate max values now the sensitivity is fucky from what I hear.
