FROM needs to bring back a modern LOST KINGDOMS its fucking DOPE!

>>713117673 (OP)
also why the fuck cant i save in this game? is there something i gota do with the memory card settings? im sick of using save states

also Sonic Heroes is fucking amazing, jank, but amazing

FUCK this level in particular

I have gotten way further in Eternal darkness than ever before thanks to dolphin and save states and guides lol

i modded SOTC it was kinda cash

>>713117673 (OP)
please if anyone knows how to get memory card/saving to work in LOST KINGDOMS id greatly appreciate it

>>713117673 (OP)
Im saving Ico for my flight to Japan. imma try and beat it all on my phone. Is this a good plan /v/?

Gonna play Silent Hill 1 soon. Do you guys use CRT shaders?

>>713118208
i tried but it looks so weird when you play on HDR monitor i had to stop. it felt ultra unnatural. I am thinking of ordering a CRT monitor and an HDMI to RYW cable hookup for my PC so i can play my emulation games on CRT like it was intended.

question for all my emufags. should i play sonic adventure 2 battle on steam or dolphin? Please explain reasoning. I can mod in blaze the cat on steam so thats a bonus

>>713118303
>ordering a CRT monitor
I want to do this but I heard they get fucked up easily during shipping. Plus prices are fucked these days for decent ones.

>>713118450
always loved the eternal darkness "glitches" when your sanity was low. what a great gimmick

>>713118521
these are cheap off aliexpress and aliexpress has a good "if my shit comes broken give refund" policy so you should consider it china is the last bastion of CRT

>>713117723
What's it telling you when you try to save? Sometimes you have to mount a virtual memory card or something like that

>>713118601
the "save" button is just shaded out cant even highlight it. :(

NVM i figured it out. You must be in the overworld to SAVE

i suck at this game i dont know how to get gold to get cards when you cant even farm gold after you beat a stage.

>>713118983
i think you gain exp when you use a card then you go to the shop and copy/make cards with said exp and then sell them to buy good cards?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wj7qiaIcwE are these guys right in recommending these?

>>713117673 (OP)
I suck at setting up my emulator and give up before actually playing anything

>>713120042
i was you for YEARS anon. but i found this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciAJMgnrGrY&t=82s he does videos like these for every emulator and saved me so much BS and was finally able to replay some classics. give it a go? :D

part of the fun of emulation for me is the collecting/downloading/setup bit of it all.

>>713121062
Thanks, I'll check his vids out
One major complaint from me is that the options in the emulator menus change somewhat as they get nightly updates so I remember that occasionally there were no options in my build that the video tutorials showed, or were called something else or they were somewhere else
My most recent attempt was pcsx2 last year, suffered for hours to get some horrendous fucking effects like picrel fixed and got in-depth with it with deinterllacing and half-pixel offset and pnach stuff but still not getting it to work pissed me off to no end
Heard there's now a 2.0 version of that, and some sort of retroarch ps2 module too
Does the guy do individual games? I remember needing different settings for different games to work correctly

>>713122369
this is no longer the case at all

>>713122539
They actually got it fixed?

>>713122369
lol i had these exact same issues but both your points are no longer an issue. you can just not update when a nightly release happens, you can also just set it up and it works now for each game without needing tweaking using defaults, and its no longer an issue where they change the menus

This was a cool game but god damn do I hate random encounters.

>>713122759
Fuck yes, guess I'll try getting into emulation again

Now this is gaming, instead of modern gayming.

>>713122768

ill check it out thanks

oh shit I'm doing it
non-demaster / non-demake superiority

>>713117673 (OP)
Been replaying Kino Combat Zero, been so long since I played it last time I've forgotten how good it is

>>713122768
It always confused me that this gameplay style didn't get used again. It's a pretty unique combat system.

>>713124175
im downloading it now

i missed out on ps1 era. been downloading a bunch of ps1 classics. though i guess i could play psp remakes of a few of them right?

>>713117673 (OP)
Finally, a Lost Kingdoms thread, I haven't seen one of those since I made one over a year ago.

>>713125204
Enjoy

>>713117673 (OP)
Why so some seed oiled freak can get a no hit run playing it with a saxophone? Fuck that

>>713125524
man some of the cards are so kino its insane. RED DRAGON I SUMMON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>713125876
>>713125524
for me its white tiger and black dragon

Looking for something to emulate on Deck. I'm currently playing Kingdom Hearts 1 but the ps2 version is 30 fps and it's kinda annoying me. I should have started the 1.5 remix.

>>713124416
It'd be goofy to implement without fixed cameras, and the PS2 was the start of the move away from that.

>>713126158
LOST KINGDOMS BROTHER!

>>713126238
I've tried this game and Baten Kaitos and I'm not really a fan of the cards. I might start a sRPG instead.

>>713126238

>>713126346
yugioh :D

>>713125961
>>713125876
Yup and they gave it all up to make the same game, Dark Souls, several times.

>>713127050
peopel bitch about cod doing it but fuck man i have SOULS fatigue at this point. like its literally the same game. give me something new and fresh ffs

>>713118450
best on steam, mods fix what's broken and restore dreamcast visuals. Unfortunately it's a bunch of separate mods unlike SADX having the all-in-one dreamcistify mod.

>>713127523
is there a way to mod beating a stage without playing it? i really hate playing the tails stages

>>713127706
yes but you're a faggot for doing so

>>713127762
tell me how?!?!
>inb4 its a download the save file. i wanna play the story just skip the stages not in the stage select

>>713117926
Just pick xelotath aka green bitch in the beginning if you suck at games

>>713127956
the mod manager comes with a bunch of cheat tools

>>713128527
dont listen to this anon. pick chturgha cuz mana is regened by walking around you can just walk around a bunch to regen and then you regen health and sanity easy

>>713128527
>>713129513
both these anons are incorrect you pick uryeal (Blue one) for mana regen up the whazzooo

>>713129593
>>713129513
>>713128527
yes...yes... fight amongst each other. purple is def the worst one amirite anons?

>>713129513
>>713129593
xelotath thralls are just plain weak. Sanity damage is easily recovered from and not a big deal in the first place.

>>713124175
>>713125635
check out the HD HUD mod for the PS2 trilogy, really makes a huge improvement to how the games look upscaled. Only mostly works on AC5 but oh well
https://superostrich.xyz/trilogy.html

>buy redmagic 10 pro phone
>try to install any of the switch emualtors
>all crash
was this fixed yet? its a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset issue i think

>>713131252
Nice, hope someone fixes Armored Core 2nd and 3rd gen like this, cause I can't stand those hud artifacts outside of software mode

>>713131712
I tried it a bit but you have to fiddle with plugins for each game that I just gave up.
But it ran simple games pretty good, Link's Awakening, that one Zelda game, Unicorn Overlord.

>>713132009
damn that sucks man. i got 3d world to work but the moment i ran wonder it crashes and then ANY game afterwards crashes too so its like whatever the code of wonder is it just straight up says FUCK YOU to running any switch emulator.

i do have ps2 and gamecube on there and it runs buttery smooth so its nice for that i guess

I don't know what they were thinking with these mining levels, the are terrible.
Platforming focus, lava death pits everywhere and a small bat like enemy that spams fireballs at you that cannot be locked on to properly, knocks you down constantly and instantly flies off the moment you try to manually aim at them.
Platforming and accuracy are not the game's strong points but they made them the focus in these mine levels, terrible choice.

>>713131712
>Snapdragon still utter dogshit
i dont know why people hyped this up when clearly its gotten us nothing

>>713122768
Genuinely one of my favorite games, the random encounters aren't bad when the game is so short anyways

>>713117673 (OP)
What's the best emulator for Rayman 3?, xemu says it's playable

>>713117673 (OP)
they brought back armored core and it fucking sucked

>>713133303
it's on GOG, is the console version different or something?

>>713117673 (OP)
just finished midnight club
i heard midnight club 2 is kind of aids to setup

>>713133303
pcxs2 is the best one ... dont ever touch xemu anon

>>713133527
i only have 3 installed. the hack from cdromance

>>713133485
PC port doesn't have controller support

>>713133626
just needs a dinput shim https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Rayman_3:_Hoodlum_Havoc#Xidi
easier than fucking around with xemu

fav games to emulate?
for me its SOTC. super mario galaxy. pokemon GBA/GBC games

>>713134723
Are you disabled or something? Why would you want this mouse?

Playing FlatOut Head On on PSP emulator since they finally fixed in game music loop bug and im suprised how good this game looks for PSP title and runs well with 60fps patch.

>>713125637
I can't imagine a gayer thing to care about

>>713125637
That sounds cool as hell though

>>713134939
"normal" mice give me pain in my right elbow. since getting this its gone and have no more pain

>>713134723
i really need to try one of these ergonomic mouse things, hate this bullshit regular mouse setup, the mouse is too small wear it makes my hand into a claw and im resting my wrist on my table and it starts to feel strange and seems like early onset carpal tunnel, whoever decided this was the optimal design has to have one of the biggest retard gorilla nigger brains of all time, not to mention if its wired which is the cheaper option, it clips on stuff unless you have your whole space cleared and if it's wireless you have to recharge it or put in new batteries or whatever

>>713135175
when they made the mouse they didnt anticipate people using them for 18h a day every day.

i got >>713134723
it changed my life man. def try it.

>>713135175
>it starts to feel strange and seems like early onset carpal tunnel
You're hand's probably just going numb from rubbing on your mousepad all day, the same thing happens to me when I play vidya for too long

>>713135290
I meant your* not you're since I know someone's gonna point that out

>>713135246
yeah but people have been using them 18 hours a day+ for like 20 years now, many people work an office job and home PCs are insanely common, you'd think the mouse design would have been reinvented by now and those ergonomic things would be more popular, but that doesn't really matter cause im gonna switch over anyways, just wish i realized the truth out about ergonomics sooner

>>713135153
do you not lift? farmer's walks and strengthening your upper arm so your forearm isn't so active prevent this.

>>713117673 (OP)
>tfw just found out about retroachievements
not gonna lie this has got me playing games to the end way more than i used to

>>713135403
at my sleep lab everyone has these ergonomic mice. i think people that do ACTUAL work in offices all use em but i agree with you youd think itd caught on

Anyone playing on deck? Hiws the experience with switch games?

>>713135469
working out will not fix the fact that your bones are in a stressful position in your forearms if you use conventional mice brother.

>>713135290
yeah maybe, happens alot now and i have to constantly limber my wrist by rotating my hand every few minutes now, this is some buck breaking next level conditioning set by the psychic vampires to make me slightly weaker every day to steal my goyim soul for the great chakra stealing obelisk in the middle of tartaria

>>713135516
>switch
If you mean Switch 1 it's been mostly perfect since it came out. No clue about 2, but I don't think it has anything but the new MK. It's a little more retarded to setup than say PS2.

>>713135542
They're doing that to everyone lately just loosen your grip and try to break your sessions up more

>>713133386
wrong

>>713135561
What emulator are you using?

>>713135541
I probably have ~40k hours grinding games and have never had a problem. Do arnold presses and start lifting.

>>713117673 (OP)
Give me a list of must-emulate games, I had a list but I accidentally deleted it.

>>713135684
https://github.com/emuplace/sudachi.emuplace.app/releases

>>713118023
sauce?

>>713135753
those are rookie numbers. what are u a zoomer?

>>713135485
yeah it seems vital now cause everyones on the computer but whatever

>>713135684
with other reply, i'm pretty sure it's y*zu but i think they got nintendo ninja'd or something

>>713135673
first it's gaming, then its mountain dew drinking, then its wrist surgery, next thing you know we'll be needing robots to open onions bottles and thatll be more common than an ergonomic mouse

>>713135870
>i think they got nintendo ninja'd or something
They did yeah. I think RyuJinx is still around though

>>713136060
the beauty of emulation is that you can bind your fucking mouse as the R3 stick and you can play half controller half mouse and makes FPS games like timesplitters so fucking good

>>713135962
how much of an autist am I if I'd rather stick with the 4:3 aspect ratio than see stretched hud elements and fonts in widescreen

>>713135843
If you add up everything you've ever played you're probably not close. I think if you didn't long term play an MMO or comp game you never will be.
>>713135962
I thought this was Samurai Warriors, is this Kessen?

>>713136125
what? how does this even work? you have the controller and mouse in a different hand simultaneously?

>>713136171
>played dota 12 h a day for 4 years
>played wow 16h a day for 5 years
>let alone all the other games ive played
>im 35
bro i def beat that

>>713136309
yeah i hold my dualsense with left hand and mouse in right on my lazyboy chair armrest

>>713136171
Kessen 3

>>713136386
>downhill domination
holy based. played the shit out of that growing up

>>713136319
I played both of those +LOL to challenger and 16h is bullshit lol. If anything I underestimated then and I'm 30. I played every arena season from 1 to SL. I've only not been NEET since 2021.

>>713123957
Ellie is so cute in the original

>>713136137
Not at all.

>>713136137
This is the normal thing to do. Stretching it is for morons.

>>713120042
How? Setting them up is so braindead now if you don't want all of the extra shit like HD textures and custom resolutions. You can just download retroarch and have it up and running after selecting like three buttons on a menu.

>>713135958
>He doesn't already have the onions bottle robot

>>713136527
Deep cut. I tried it on one of those Jampack demo discs and eventually stole a copy from blockbuster lol, they really don't make em like they used to.

>>713136448
>Kessen 3
i imagined this game to be more like a DW empires game, i might try that soon

>>713122768
Still one of my favorites. Really doesn't need much for a modern incarnation. Some sort of better infinite dungeon, and more insane gun crafting. Otherwise the tight and focused story did favors, which is probably were a modern take would completely stumble all of over itself trying to over dramatize every single scene.

>>713133118
>>713138745
How's the sequel?

>>713138881
Different. I can't say better or worse, it has its following. but it wasn't what the already niche audience was looking for, so it's even more niche. If RE is more your flavor its more an actual survival game than not compared to the first, which wasn't RE at all.

where the fuck did my internal resolution setting go

>>713139597
not in my output either, used to be 2nd from top in here

>>713138881
I'll let you when I get to it but if it's like how >>713139404 says it is, probably won't like it as much but won't hate it, we'll see

>>713136720
let's not forget you know who also

>>713136527
Downhill Domination was absolute peak PS2 chaos. That game had no right being as smooth and fun as it was. Screaming down a mountain at like 70mph, shoving dudes off cliffs, and that radio announcer acting like it was X-Games Armageddon. Put that and SSX Tricky in the same gaming session and your childhood was basically perfect.

>>713118983
>>713119085
Enter stages, capture monsters (L + button), abort the mission, sell for profit.
Entering stages to grind exp is good too but unnecessary. Focusing exp on cards is good to get stronger cards early but the game will give you plenty and pulling rare shit at the end of levels is part of the fun.

>>713142518
thank you i found a YT speedrunner and i copied what he did. he sells cards he has dups of. which i didnt even think of lol

>>713118521
dude, just look up the secondhand market and find someone near you. There's plenty of crts out there

>>713138881
I think it's a tighter game with better combat but only shines in harder difficulties where you have to maximize resources,learn enemy patterns and learn to dodge very well to not get smoked in nearly every battle.
