2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!

Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

Off-Topic / I'm alive...
05/09/2018, 05:35 PM
Hey Folks.

I'm here just not all there.

Lets see what good Ole Dicer has been up to.


I got kicked outta my Aunts due to her mental insanity, and well, Mass get's cold I didn't even get to mail out a game and felt like shit, so I kinda faded off the interwebz while this was going on.
I managed to get just enough to make a move I now am in San Diego...always wanted to come to Cali, and I finally made it with .39 to spare when I bought the ticket., woo-hoo
I had some pay-pal credit and used that to stay at a hostel for a little bit, figured I'd grab a job and all would be well...not so easy the job market out here SUCKS, esp with the gap in my employment.
I made the bad choice of "hey I'm having fun out here, my depression must be gone" and stopped my meds, once the party ended (Hostel and foreign girls was a GOOD thing) the depression hit like a brick...
I almost ended it, but I turned myself into a hospital spent a week in a psuych ward (fun) then got sent to a "crisis house" basically a place to reset and chill for a bit, making sure you are getting better.
Form there I was refered to a shelter (most people gotta wait many weeks) and I've been there since, trying to get assistance and still trying to get some sort of work, really need a state ID, sent off for my birth cert but I never got it, so I need to do that again. Been on meds for my Blood clot they found before I moved (Lovenox is not fun) that shit pretty much sorted out.

Now the best most funnest part:

I was sleeping one night, and a wonderfully polite Brown Recluse decided to give me a nibble...didn't even feel it. Woke up had a little spot on my leg, that grew into a large pink/red spot, went to get it looked at. they gave m antibiotics and sent me back, over that night it went from pink/red to Blue/Black and I couldn't walk on it. Needless to say went back and spent a week in the hospital because the bite caused sepsis of the blood.
That was super duper fun, but I get to keep the leg and the area is mostly healed, luckily it didn't spilt open or anything uber gross.

So, I am alive my OBEY is packed away across the country, and soon as I get a stable place I'll have it shipped over...hopefully (Mental case family holding all my stuff)

I'm broke AF. but I get 3 hots and a decent bunk, so it could totally be worse.

I have a GF out here, that is mostly good, so that helps as well.


So, now you are basically caught up. Sorry I poofed but life wasn't worth talking about.

I'll be around :)

Cheers.

Due to some unforeseen family bullshittery and nonsense I will be without housing this week...

Anyone have some good tips as far as resources go, I'm zero income right now (awaiting cash assistance while SSDI takes it sweet ass time) and I'll be checking out a few local shelters Monday.

Any thought or foresight would be appreciated...

Cheers.

Off-Topic / NeoGAF explodes...
10/21/2017, 10:35 PM
So NeoGAF, the great hive-mind of "guilty till innocent" has exploded...why? Cause the grand leader of the pack is an ass grabbin fuckwit, lol

All the mods jumped ship, place is far from stable at the moment, and it's trending on the twits...

It's a fun dumpster fire to stare at.

I have two right now that have been on my mind

1. Bubble Bobble i'm sure it's still chugging along, would just LOVE an update.
2. Spriggan MkII translation, what's goin on there?

Feel free to discuss and add whatever... just felt like bringing this up.

Off-Topic / Hurricane rant...
09/09/2017, 05:39 PM
Rant on:

To all of the people upset that a storm has currently changed trajectory slightly and lost some steam (After hitting mountains of all things) sad because they had to bother to clear the way makes me sick to my stomach, There people have no regard for anyone or anything, and frankly I hope this thing comes right up their collective asses and wipes out everything they own, then maybe just MAYBE they will learn an ounce of humility. To those that actually care and got out, I hope your things stay safe. I know it sounds crass but right now I've lost hope for some nay people that just don't seem to give a shit.

Fuck these people.

I was watching a playthrough of viewpoint today and it got me to thinking, what other NeoGEo games could have gotten a fair port to our little console.

I know the FEKA got stuff like Sam showdown and Viewpoint which we never got.

i think a Magician Lord or Super Spy port would have been fun....

Thoughts?!?!?!
#15
Well, funny farm lite...

I spent the last week in a mental health respite facility, no rubber rooms or straight jackets...but definitely people with some issues. It was an interesting experience and something that was needed.

Why am I posting about it, Idk just felt like sharing, so now you can all say "I know a lunatic on the internet" lol

Share any fun mental breakdown stories or poke fun of me, whatever feels right.

This game actually started up before Overwatch but of course Blizz has the push and the marketing and now they call this a clone, but it's really not. and it's FREE and a damned blast.

It's on steam and use my link if you decide to play so I can get some goodies, it would be neat if we could get a squad together.

Don't need a mega honking PC to play and it run silky smooth.

Come frag some crap with me.

General Gaming / Poor color choices...
04/26/2017, 08:58 PM
OK, so we know older console hardware has a limited color palette, but for the most part developers worked around it or made the best use of what they had as their disposal.

And sometimes they did not, lets discuss those times

I give you, DRAGON'S REVENGE
You could tell me this was a C=64 game and I'd buy it. I mean these color choices are HORRID.
I mean we all know the Genny was lacking in total on screen colrs but still some games look amazing and colorful then we get this abomination.

The Genesis really did get boned on pinball games, sadly.

General Gaming / OFFICIAL ZELDA:BOTW TOPIC
03/09/2017, 05:41 PM
Discuss...keep spoilers down a bit, so we are ruined by anything, yet.

I'm almost 20 hours in and I feel like I've barley scratched the surface...this damned game is flat-out amazing.

I miss my bro horse (RIP COFFEE), but Spotz is doing his job till I go on a horse wranglin session.

I've gotten 6 hearts and two stamina upgrades and I've seen (but not dealt with) 3 of the 4 ancients, they are a sight to see. I've also gone to plenty of places I shouldn't have if only briefly, and the game kicked my ass for it.

I have the Wind Waker amiibos and they drop some goodies each day, which is nice.


Overall, a really good time so far, cannot wait to see more once I dive in deeper.

Would like to change the Super CD-Rom logo to Super LP, want to make some custom slipmats for my record player. maybe convert all the CD stuff to LP as well.

Anyone up to the challenge?
#26
I mean non typical games the usual English player would never bother checking out due to the moon language barrier...

Checked out a bit of Moonlight Lady, I have NO idea what the fuck is going on except there is girls and a bird, but damn if the sprite work isn't pretty top notch, reminding me of SNES sprite work
Spoiler: this is the end stuff, so if you don't wanna see the ending.
What other games feature really good art but we might be ignoring due to the barrier of language?
#27
The Wizardy games on PCE, smattered with a mix of English and Japanese, how much work would it take to fully translate?

Just crept into my noggin this morning so I figured I'd ask.
#28
Lots of Godzillas
At the title screen, hold Up + Right + II and press Run. Keep holding the buttons until you enter the "Normal / Vs" screen. If done right, you'll hear a different scream. On this screen, very quickly hold Select and press Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Right, II. If the code was entered correctly, you'll go to an alternative VS Character Select screen where you can select from lots of monsters including 10 different kinds of Godzilla.

Tried about 15 times and no dice, the all characters code worked just fine.
#29
Title says it all, are they in Eng or are they dubbed over to Japanese?

Looks better than what the SEGA CD chruns out, why wasn't this used all the time?

Ah the Demoscene, making hardware do all sorts of neat stuff, the peak for me were the C64 and Amiga Demoscene, which used a lot of the same trickery to achieve some mind blowing visuals for the machines they were running on.

How possible would it be to pull some of this visual trickery on the good ole PCE, I know there are a few examples, but I think it could go further.

Best Amiga Examples.
Hell even some Atari 2600 Demo action
#43
Got a Supergrafx with all original hookups and a Copy of Battle Ace, looking to trade or sell. In the hunt for a SegaCD Model 1 or Model 2, but a Model 1 is preferred.

As for cash $225 paypal F&F takes it away in the cont USoA. Shipping is of course included.

I would hold onto it, but I really want a SegaCD and the system is redundant ATM and funds are thin.

Will entertain other possible OBEY related trades, so feel free to offer...

Thanks in advance.  :dance:

Cheers.

Got me one of them cheapo depot generic Everdrives for the Genny, seems to work well enough seems some games need to be patched for saving or some other issues but I'd say 95%ish of stuff works fine.

The question is, what do I dive into?!?!!?

Also, is there anything good on the home-brew/romhacking scene, aside from 10000000000 versions of sonic?
#45
I was thinking and I wondered what 3 games I'd want on our beloved machine if given the chance to make them a reality.

So, here are mine

Gunsmoke - I put so many quarters into this machine as a kid, and I think it would make a good fit
Black Tiger - Why? Because it's fucking Black Tiger, that's why...
Rolling Thunder, another stealer of my quarters back in the day

Honorable mentions:
Gyruss, take a TG/PCE shooter and make it have a baby with Tempest...and Gyruss is born
Punch Out, arcade punch out...none of this mike tyson nonsense.
Simpsons/TMNT/Xmen aka any multi Konami arcade machine, put that tap to use...
#46
At the 3:30 mark?

Plz respond...

So this was asked over at NEOGAF and it's the first I've head of it...

Quote from: sixteen-bit;199379048Core Grafx has a different sound chip right? I remember hearing that it causes issuses with sound effects in a small number of games, so they switched back to the chip from the OG PCE in the Core Grafx II
Is there truth to this and if so anyone have some links to information?
