PCEngine-FX.com

So, the PC-FX tome of obey WIP is in full swing.

I played thru Galaxy Fraulein YUNAAAAAA FX this weekend and took some pictures of the TV.  They came out pretty nice. The fact you can tell its a TV gives it that authentic feel.

I have been getting some review-opinion stuff typed out... and now I wonder

Does anyone have suggestions / ideas for what to do with this thang?  I don't want to throw up a site that people don't like.

Ideas I thought of:

Mimic the PCE software bible, since it's a nice resource for browsing games quickly.
Set up a Wiki-site (which has the potential of going horribly wrong when jackasses start tampering)
???!

In any event, Zeroigar and Team innocent are next on the agenda.

I think once I get 10ish games screenshotted and typed up about, things will be good to attempt launching a site.

Isnt there a section on this site with some reviews on the PC-FX library?  I dont think its comprehensive though... maybe Aaron would let you add to that group?

The overview, etc. is kind of incomprete, and there is no site with a good variety of screenies to give a proper overview of the games

Sounds like you've got a project then! :D  Unless maybe the duomazov site would want to add a PC-FX section....

:D I hope not!

Not that they wouldnt do a good job, I just really want to do this :D lol

I have quite a few ideas for a PC-FX site, but I'd launch it as a separate entity from Duomazov. Duomazov is...... strictly Duo.

That said, there's no reason Arkhan can't proceed with his own PC-FX site. The more, the merrier.

Yeah, im looking for design suggestions.

I have the design skills of a coked out giraffe.
But I think the site should be very white and pink.

With all the hotties from the PC-FX in a banner.

its non profit so if anyone wants to lend some expertise and shits, I will register the domain and hosty
Im thinking pcfxtoo.com

Ahh. So the pc fx game I never got around to trying?

Precisely!

I like Yuna FX; as you progress, you unlock mini games that can be accessed later via the main menu. Many of the mini games are actually pretty cool. Most of them are even what Zeta would consider "real" games!

How is this for image quality?  Acceptable/yay?

Is it possible to get screenshots off of Magic Engine FX?

Also, I'm out of the loop here...what's with all the "obey" stuff I see on the forums? I've apparently missed the joke?

Those shots aren't too bad, though a flat screen tv would get rid of (well... minimize) the distortion.

Ask tatsujin about obey :lol:

These were taken off of a flat-screen CRT :D

I may just suck at camera.

Quote from: Psycho Arkhan on 03/02/2011, 06:02 PMWhat distortion?

The curves on the sides.  Good on women - not so good on screen pics.

eh, maybe.

Ill try fiddling with the TV settings.

Photos look pretty good, but I'd work on getting them more centered without cropping any of the actual screen image. The centering can probably be done after the fact in an image editor, but the cropping issue will have to be addressed as you take the photos.

Also, just a question.... Are you using SVIDEO or composite?

I am using composite until I find my frigging SVIDEO cable.  I think I accidentally shipped it with an Amiga4000 I sold a few months ago.  Damnit.

I will probably take some better centered pics.  I can clean up the Yuna ones, they should be acceptable looking once I get them cleaned up in Photoshoop.

I am using composite until I find my frigging SVIDEO cable.  I think I accidentally shipped it with an Amiga4000 I sold a few months ago.  Damnit.

Hint: Apple ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) cables are repackaged SVIDEO cables. The good news is that approximately 37.52 billion of these cables were produced from 1986-1998 and can often times be found in heaps at the dollar or thrift store for < $1.00 / lb. Also, if you own any Apple hardware from this time period (Apple IIGS and Macintosh line) you undoubtedly already have one or two, if not more, of these.

You really need to just screengrab from an emulator. Really. ;)

The only PCFX emulator out kinda blows.  I will give it a shot and see.

The problem with the SVIDEO cable being gone is im lazy.  :D  I have to go get one!

I did find a bunch of MIDI cables while looking for it though!

The list of games on deck

Yuna: grabbed images  , may get better ones
Sparkling Feather: Some images!
Team Innocent: Grabbed some images
Ruruli Rurura: grabbed a few images and then stopped caring and started playing it!

Any other games you bastards want to suggest for the first wave of games filled up on the site?

The general format will be similar to PCE Software Bible, so, general game info, a handful of screenies, videos where applicable (I made a youtube for this).

and then commentary on the game...

It should be of the epic variety.

I am very curious about the PC-FX baseball game that was mentioned in one the the threads. I'd love to see pics of that :)

I can do that.

Its actually a good game. Thats alot coming from me, considering I fuckin hate baseball

It blows the other Power Leagues out of the water, that's for sure. And the others aren't even bad.

I am not a big sports fan, especially of video game sports. But I do love me some Power League :)

if you don't want to go the emulator route for screenshots, or if its no good compatibility wise you could try capturing screens from your computer with a card or usb device, preferably with an S-Video input.

Update:

I haven't abandoned or forgotten about this.

I am gathering gameplay remarks for some games, and working on a better way to grab screenshots.

Pc-fx is not worth obeying.

Unless you wanna play countless graphic novels and dating sims (humongous Yawn).

There is one good shooter on this system, and that is unfortunate.

Do some research on how many 'real' games the system has or just shut up, troll.

Troll huh? For having my opinion?

Well Ok, there may be some Japanese RPG or simulations on here. so What?

Unless you can show me some games that may appeal to a English audience!

Your opinion is the atypicaly misinformered crap about this system.  Look thru the whole library before you say the same tired "only dating sims/hentai...blah blah blah."

Quote from: ddd1234 on 03/30/2011, 02:18 PMTroll huh? For having my opinion?

Like I said - do some research.  The PC-FX's library is not composed entirely of digital comics and dating sims; stating otherwise wasn't opinion, it was just plain wrong and seemingly trolling for a reaction (like many of your posts here).

Quote from: ddd1234 on 03/30/2011, 02:18 PMWell Ok, there may be some Japanese RPG or simulations on here. so What?

So... they're not digital comics or dating sims.  Duh!

Also, my dad's not a cellphone.  Also, duh!

Who made you the arbiter of what the English (speaking) audience wants?  Believe it or not, but some people's horizons extend beyond shooters and Genpei Toumaden.

Hahaha, this guy's BS is so tired and cliche he's not even worth arguing with. It's OK, he's already formed an opinion on the system based on what a guy that videogamefan1 knew that said he heard GameOrDie say that he heard fff5678 say over on Digital Press said.

Chip Chan Kick, Ruruli Ra RuRa, Zeroigar, Zenki, Battle Heat, to name a few.

Not to mention Sparkling Feather, Der Langrisser FX and Power Dolls for you Strategy fans

Return to Zork, Boundary Gate, Last Imperial Prince.

Team Innocent.

There's plenty to love.  The system has no bad games.  There is not one game on the PC-FX that is bad.  I can say this with 100% certainty because I have played every game on the system. 

Also, you're new here, I've noticed your random semi-retarded remarks occasionally that have that "Im attempting to trololo" vibe.  You are not fit to decide what is worth OBEYing.

PS: Wario is a fag.

Lots of hasty generalizations goin' on here, anyways I didn't say it's a bad system. I was talking about the over representation of single genre and the reason why  English speakers may not find it appealing.

your post here is simply laughable.
I would advise a more formal and open minded tone, as your rude "fan boyish" tone is disturbing!
I looked through the games that Arkhan listed above, and visually, SOME of them look like they were done in flash.
I won't comment on the game play, because i have YET to play them.

What hasty generalizations?  I've played the entire PC-FX library.  I am generalizing nothing.  Go look at the genre breakdown.  The sim genre is not really over-represented as much as you would think.

What HAVE you played?  None of the games I mentioned look like flash games.  That is a stupid generalization.  You're looking at the surface of games you have never even played or seen in action, and are then dismissing the entire system.

I bet half of the 'dating sims' you are talking about aren't even dating sims.

Better a fanboyish tone than you ignorant, never played a single game you TRY to talk about.

sweet looks like this thread should be moving to Fighting Street soon and possibly a spot in the PCFX hall of Shame!

Fuck no.  My TOME OF OBEY does not belong in fighting street.

UPDATE: Insanity X should finally pass review and shit so now between Retrocading I am going to wack out the first few game pages and gather yo feedbacks n sheeet.

Also, Zeroigar fucking rules.

Just saying.

snaps of Zeroigar, Yuna, Boundary Gate, Ruruli Ra Rura, and Team Innocent are taken.

Figuring out/fucking the HTML files into working order.  Don't worry,I didnt design them.  A smart person did.

Once I get it sorted out and uploaded, pcfxtoo.com will go live with those 5 games to start.

also Protip: only one of them is a digital comic.  Suck on that, fuckers.

FYI: To capture screen shots from Magic Engine FX it's the backspace key. :)

Just going to put in my little plug for emulators here. MEFX is really pretty awesome. If you don't want to mess around with command line and finding a bios, it has a GUI and is easy to use. It costs less than $20. When people by the console for $100+ and games for $20-$60 or more, $20 is a pretty low barrier for entry into being able to emulate the system on your PC. If you're a little more adventurous, you can use Mednafen which despite my years of talking down about is an excellent PC-FX emulator. The problem is that you need to use a .bat file to run a .cue file for your game, and you need to get a PC-FX bios dump. There are no guis so things like controller setup is triggered with a keyboard command. If you can deal with these things it's also a great emulator and it's free.

I own a PC-FX console and games and I enjoy playing on it, but there is a place for emulation in PC-FX collecting too. Especially for things like grabbing screen shots.

I've been using Mednafen to grab screenshots.  I sort of forgot Mednafen does PCFX.


Its better than holding a camera up, but still not as nice as id like.

Oh well. :D

Update: The site is actively being worked on.  I don't want to make the real pages live til im sure theyre pretty awesome for starts.

I underestimated the following:

1) How long it takes to get screenshots that arent the title screen and first 5 seconds of a game
2) How much effort it takes to make a page, even with a templaate
3) My website skills.  Though, I should've just looked at Aetherbyte.com and went "Oh yeah, I suck at this"

Quote from: Psycho Arkhan on 06/12/2011, 03:38 PM1) How long it takes to get screenshots that arent the title screen and first 5 seconds of a game

I know that feeling.

Indeed, one of my major complaints about PCECP and the like was that the screenshots always, and I mean ALWAYS, consisted of the title screen, and one or two other shots.... FROM THE FIRST FIVE LITERAL SECONDS OF THE GAME. In some cases with PCECP (RRR for PC-FX springs to mind), they didn't even get as far as the ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.

In my opinion, it's go big or go home. If you're going to do screenshots, you have to take the time to do them properly.

Yes, I made sure to play Boundary Gate all the way through the first boss battle for example.  That involves walking around, talking, exploring, fighting a bit, and then yknow, doing the boss battle!

Zerogiar has gameplay up to the first boss battle with some cutscene images (with hilarious health bar amounts because I was playing one handed and hovering over the F9 key to screen shot, lol)

Battle Heat, I just smashed buttons and hit F9.  I'll pick the best of the like 40 shots I ended up with.  Screen shots of that game are sort of worthless though.

So yeah, I am definitely making sure the screenshots are useful.  I don't even think I bothered with title screen shots actually, because I'll be blunt here:

Who fucking cares what the title screen looks like.   A digitized version of the box packaging logos, with some menu choices is about as useful as a ripped condom.


 The only game series I have EVER given a shit about title screen wise, was Ultima, because from Ultima III thru V, funny stuff happened on the screen.

How do you define useful screenshots though?

If someone owns the game, then none of the screenshots are useful. If they haven't, then all of them are useful. As long as they are as varied as possible and show the game's strengths - I think that's the key.

The screenshots generally serve as a "for people who are curious about a game" tool.

So if you give title screen + first 5 seconds of game, you haven't given them much of anything to work with.

Useful and varied are about the same thing, :D

If you don't show capture gameplay elements in your screenshots, you've screwed up

Update:

I have not abandoned this shiznit.

I am still getting screenshots that I deem good enough.

This leads me to a new plan also.

If you play PCFX and have screenshots to submit go right ahead.

send them in a .zip to aetherbyte@gmail.com

Be sure to tell me what game it is, and if you want, a nice description of the game from your perspective.

If you give me a negative description, I will immediately delete it, but keep the screenshots.

There is no negativity on the PC-FX

Games I do not need from anyone:

Zeroigar
Boundary Gate
Yuna
Can Can Bunny
Ruruli Ra Rura
Team Innocent
Battle Heat
Sparkling Feather

Feel free to submit any other games.

Also, I don't want to see any fucking title screens, or the 5 screenshots of the first 5 seconds of the game, taken rapid fire. 

There better be quality gameplay images afoot!

This should work out nicely, and I will be sure to credit you for your screenshots on the game page in question.

Every time this thread gets updated, I keep thinking you've finally made the website live, but every time it's a "Don't worry! I haven't abandoned this!" message.

This is arguably worse than, say, actually abandoning it.

Well, I could pull a PCECP and produce pages with really lame screenshots.

The sites live! It's just a Yuna splash screen though.  ... :)


Here, have a teaser:

/wiphomepagetest.png

also what was I thinking.  I suck at putting together websites.  At least someone else did the layout.. or we'd all be fucked.

I think you can tell who, by the teaser.  I hope.

Needs more pink and lower contrast for better readability.

One step at a time here guy.  I think today/tomorrow I will actually get at least the gamelist up with some working game pages, and then we can see what people think before going further.

Hey cool, I hate Dreamweaver and accidentally realized I can just use VIsual Studio.

Game page at least should be up tonight, with Battle Heat and Zeroigar pages.


The homepage needs work, so I will just make the Yuna page plop to the game page if you click ;)

Hey that.... actually doesn't look too bad.

As far as people whining about readability.... My motto, and I've learned this from experience, is FUCK 'EM. Do what looks good to you.

I brightened it slightly.  We will see how it turns out.  I saved the one you see there incase people want to have that instead.

Incase you have not noticed, and you will shortly anyways, sunteam_paul did the design work, and this will be the pretty pretty pink princess version of PC Engine Software Bible.

So, the layout for game pages will be the same.

Once the game pages are coming together and people like how it is, I will slowly fill out and make all of the pages active.  Once the ball gets rolling well, it really won't be TOO bad, especially if others want to pony up their own screenshots/run downs of games.

AND, once the game pages are likeable and in the "steadily being filled" phase, I will do the hardware section.   

I fear videos will be the last part of what is added only because I don't do the whole video thing.  I have no way to capture gameplay nicely.  I can use Hypercam and wing it, I suppose.

But I mean, you've all seen my YouTube videos.  They are pretty ghettofab.

We will get to that when we get to it.  I HAVE been looking into ways to do video capture nicely.  I find video making kind of boring though so the motivation is not there really... >_>

Can't say I like the name, but the I love the page design!

I DONT LIKE YOUR NAME.  JERK.

lol.

I might see if Aaron is ok with me lifting screenshots of games that he has provided, especially Zeroigar.  I find playing the game with a keyboard is a pain in the ass and as a result, I was unable to fiddledick my way to where the game starts becoming even more futuristic.  I've captured the gameplay good, but not the progression of the game, though, maybe that is a good thing.  

I also found that hovering over the screenshot key during an action game is really difficult also.  I may give the Zeroigar screenshots another go, but the ones I have are pretty good for starts.

I'm not holding high hopes for some of the digital comics as far as screens go.   Its like showing 5 pages from a comic book.  They will all look nice... !

Screenshot taking tip: Pick up a cheap USB controller or PS2 DualShock->USB adapter. Map one of the shoulder buttons to the screen capture function and you can snap off screenshot after screenshot without affecting your game in any way. This is how I do it for Duomazov.

The cheap USB controller I picked up was about $9, new, from a local video game store.

MagicEngine allows you to map any function to any button, I would imagine ME-FX would be the same.

Oh man.  my wired PS3 controller (TRON FTW!) works as a game pad.  Great!

That will make Zeroigar screens better.

I will be putting the underconstruction but viewable stuff in a few here.  Only Zeroigar and BattleHeat pages will be active, and the Zeroigar screens will be upgraded, but now you can see where its headed and Ill get some feedback before I go too far into something noone even likes...

There you go, how bad is it?

Can Can Bunny probably needs to move to Dating Sims.... ;)

Lookin' good!  Just one quibble - quite a few consoles had mice before the FX came along (all three of the 16-bitters and a few of the niche machines).

Quote from: Psycho Arkhan on 07/13/2011, 05:58 PMYeah, but they weren't exactly useful mice. :D

How so?  I never used 'em on the CD-i or V-tech or any of the other crap machines (where useful isn't in their vocabulary anyway), but they work just dandy on the Turbob and SNES.

maybe the word I meant to use was popular.

There weren't many mouse SNES games, from what I remember at least.


and at least none of the mice were as bad as the fuckin 1351 mouse for the C64.   I love unresponsive bricks.

Is that screen with the Chip-chan Kick picture the main page? Chip-chan Kick is a fun game and all, but I wouldn't recommend using that art outside of the page devoted to the game. It's pretty pervy for a main page image, and the last thing we need to do is feed into the misinformation that the PC-FX is nothing but hentai games.

Maybe not many, but Mario Paint was the 800 pound gorilla of mouse-based console games back in the day.

According to infallible wikipedia's self-described incomplete list there are 65 SNES/SF titles that support the mouse; and while that's a small percentage of the SNES/SF library, it's more games than the PC-FX's has total.  I'm surprised it received such support.

thats just a place holder.  It's not good enough.

I plan to put Yuna and Rolfee in a lesbian bed sheet tangle instead.

Great job on the site (so far). As someone who has slowly been collecting games from TG-16 through PC Engine....I have PC-FX games in my target next. Now I have a place to go to check out screenshots/synopsis on each game....awesome!

yes I plan to get 1 to 2 pages up a week, maybe more.  I may sit and crank out a ton in a sitting ,who knows

If anyone happens to want to give nice screenshots of their favorite PCFX games, that offer still stands.

Yeah, check this post in the translation project thread: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9927.15
They are all on YouTube (spread over a couple of accounts) feel free to embed them from there. I'll try to post more.

threw up boundary gate and working on a few others.

Meant to get more done but the sweet (read: douchebag) rainstorms we just had left me helping clean a friends flooded basement.  I've never seen a foot of water in a basement in suburbia before.

Really sucked.  He makes minis out of pewter and resin, so alot of stuff got jacked up. 

I was really hoping others would chime in with screenshots, but alas.  Noone did. 

I've got Can Can Bunny screens, some Dragon Knight IV ones, and Cutey Honey ones.

Ruruli Ra Rura got put up, and I will be starting Ah My Goddess.

I had Yuna screens but will be redoing them in the emulator instead of the TV pictures I had.  Or, they may crop down and look alright.  We will see.

and the Sparkling Feather ones as well. 

Aaron said it's cool if I use stuff from PC FX World.  So, if I can nab some good shots there, sweet.

Doing this on top of Aetherbyte stuff is a bit of a PITA.  It seemed so easy on paper, lol.

I was going to tackle Chip Chan Kick but TBH, CCK,  Zenki and Zeroigar are the only 3 games basically everyone knows about, so I will probably do Zenki and CCK dead last.  its the other games that need fair attention!

like Team Motherfucking Innocent.

Luckily I still have the raw footage I recorded from my playthroughs of Tonari no Princess Rolfee, Tenchi Muyo FX, Fire Woman Matoigumi, and Minimum Nanonic. If you don't mind shots grabbed from video (it's screen recorded digitally with FRAPS, it looks fine) I can get some of those for you. I have a little footage of Little Cats too. What is the best way to get them to you?

Quote from: Psycho Arkhan on 08/08/2011, 12:51 AMits the other games that need fair attention!

Hell yeah! :)

The way you sent them works fine! or you can email them to aetherbyte@gmail.com

this helps greatly.  Its more time consuming than I expected to get good shots of games. :)

UPDATE:

nothing live has been added, but I have the front page about done, and am planning to get the data content for all pages ready before making them all live...

and then I will slowly add screen shots and let it fill itself up.

:)

So, no i havent abandoned it.  Its just more work that I thought.  Ive never had a website besides Aetherbyte before, lol

Hey the front page is up.  It's been for a week!  What do you think people?  Assuming people dig it, I will move on to the "about" page, which will have the system and the accessories.

Also, I am a little over halfway done with the "Content" for each game page. (Putting the name/maker/year/genre/rating, and then a short overview, and a comment on the game).

Does anyone else want to volunteer up a "comment" chunk for any of the games in the second half of the alphabetical list?

I worry now that I may sound repetitive with my comments on every game.  You can only say somethings kickass so many ways.... so another voice for a couple games might spin things up some.

If not it's cool.

Also, how does everyone feel about the Anime Freak series being condensed into one single page about all of them?  It seems like it may be sort of pointless to make a page for each volume.

I received permission from Aaron to use the things on PCFX World for the site as well, so that will take care of any box art I'm missing.  I will also shamelessly steal the reviews on the page and recreate them with the PCFXTOO template and link them on the game sites that the reviews are for... unless the author of said reviews wants to override Aarons permission and tell me no!

the Links page is basically going to link to this forum, unless people know of other useful PCFX links. 

I have a few that are in Japanese... but that's about it.

Things are chugging along better than before now.

If they're more or less the same (haven't played 'em myself), I see no reason you couldn't bundle 'em together; just make sure the screenies are organized in such a way that you can tell which one they came from.

The main page looks good.

The Anime Freak FX releases could be condensed, but I think it's worth at least listing the contents of each. You could also talk about the dopey little mini-games they have.

I planned to cover each one fairly well on the page, but keep it all to one complete "Anime Freak" page.  They're all basically the same: A compilation of stuff.

This thread is still here? Gimme a break guys!  :-k

If you don't like it/have nothing to contribute, then don't read it or post in it. It's not hurting you any.

lol wow.

and, anyway, I'm nearing the homestretch of "contenty stuff" for all the games in the library and may have enlisted a friend to help with all the screenshots.

Forgive me, but what is the site address? Unless I missed it I didn't see any link in this thread, and I didn't see any links on the Atherbyte website.

It was like the 4th or 5th post in this thread.  Really should be included in the first post. ;)

lol.

well, things are coming along still.  I've been sick all week and school just started so I've been shifting gears a bit. 

fuck headcolds. 

hey guess what!

Tomorrow is my last final.  Once I am done with that, PCFXTOO will be worked on moar.

It shouldn't take very long at all to at least get a page for each game up, sans screenies. 

Once each page is live however, it will be PCEngine.co.uk style.

I can slowly add screenies and shit as I go.  or users can submit.  Getting the boxart + game info up has become my new goal.  It makes the most sense to put up the stats for the game, and a brief overview. 

Once that is done, the next plan is the hardware page.

Hopefully the recent PCFX homebrew stuff can help that page have a better bit of info about the internals.


\o/

Awesome! Grats on the exams. Can't wait to see more on PCFXTOO...too. :)

When I get in tonight, I will be updating PCFXTOO a bit.  I've got the stuff ready to be uploaded but fell asleep at the keys before I did it, lol.

About half of the games will have their information page, sans images.  It won't take more than a few days to get every game completed and posted up.

Once they're all up, I will probably toss images up every couple days, and give an update here so everyone can go look and be excited in the pants.

Once the ENTIRE game list is up (sans images/crap), I'm going to start the hardware information page too.  I feel that is more important than images for all the games.

I will also be stealing the reviews at PCFX World (Aaron gave permission), so I will basically copy-paste the content in full and put it on PCFXTOO as well.



What I want to know is if anyone wants to make videos that can be posted on the PCFXTOO youtube, and embedded on the site.    I am really piss-poor at videos, and feel someone else would produce way better videos than I will.

Screw it.  No one likes the PCFX and noone even goes to the site.  I'm not bothering.


just kidding, dicks! :)

If everyone hated the PCFX, I'd still finish the TOO.


I updated, like I said. I'll start cranking out the rest of the pages, and whatnot like I said.

Those are the breaks.

its fixed!

ok, is anyone else having problems going to pcfxtoo.com or aetherbyte.com?

Aetherbyte works if you type www.aetherbyte.com/index.php
www.pcfxtoo.com/index.htm works too

Maybe it's time to give GoDaddy the boot for being gimpy.

It works fine for me. You should ditch GoDaddy for supporting SOPA though.

Yeha I dunno, things went screwy there. 


So, its at least up now, and people can see some shiz. :)

Great to see some new content. It's coming along nicely. Although the write-ups are coming off as a little too fanboyish. Almost everything is extremely gushing, and I don't think there's a single score below 3/5? Even the rare couple of games that actually come off as a bit negative still don't have a lower score. I think you may run into some frustrated visitors if they buy a game thinking it's the second coming only to discover that it's decent/good but not super amazing.

Everything on the PCFX is super amazing though.


I haven't gotten to the stuff I want to rate a 2/5 and below.

Quote from: Psycho Arkhan on 01/19/2012, 08:24 AMMaybe it's time to give GoDaddy the boot for being gimpy.

You definitely should.

When I was originally shopping for a domain server to host www.thebrothersduomazov.com, I initially signed up with GoDaddy. Two days later, before the site had even been put up, I got a message from GoDaddy saying my account had been terminated for fraud. I complained, and was subsequently banned from ever using GoDaddy again at any point in the future.

Good riddance, I say.

whoa. thats dumb.

that being said, hows it looking so far?   The Protocard excursions are coming to and end and I will then be able to wack out the other half of the write ups and start putting images up.

and, I still encourage others to offer up screenies or writeups themselves, if they've got them or want to.

Wow. I wonder what (about you) triggered the red flag for them? Although it was frustrating at the time, I'm sure you feel grateful not to do business with them.

Soon as the PC-FX BlueBMW sent me gets here, I will be playing something..  Just dont know what yet..

I'm seeing alot of broken images. Is it really a problem or just place holders?

placeholders

the broke images dont show up in firefox for me.   what pages did you see the broke images.

Some on Zeroigar, all Chip Chan Kick, and all Zork are missing with IE8 here. Those are the only pages I looked at though.

yeah thats about right then.

Fixed a few typos/goofups
Changed a rating for RRR to 2.5 instead of 3
Updated Detective Ladies (Gave the game another play recently, after Necromancer mentioned it)
Queued up the next bunch of stuff I will be making pages for.

yay updates

Hey, I just got around to checking the site. First review I checked was Battle Heat, because it's a game I analyzed very well....

QuoteNo cheese exists in this game, that I have seen at least.

http://youtu.be/Kg48YmJZjoc I presume you haven't seen me do this. (https://youtu.be/Kg48YmJZjoc)

It works with any character against any CPU opponent - even the final boss. (https://youtu.be/a7M1bRCBsJ0)

However since I found the CPU on hard mode pretty difficult otherwise, I'd say the blasted AI had it coming.

Here's a good question; has this game ever been seriously attempted in a competitive-scene sense to see whether the metagame is balanced or broken?

EDIT: Some other comments so far.

Some more details on the "Der Langrisser FX" review would be nice. Consider this from my perspective: I played the SFC Der Langrisser Fan Translation and the Megadrive Langrisser II Fan Translation, and I also own (though haven't played through) the Langrisser Tribute version of Langrisser Dramatic Edition. I feel a good review should compare these down to minute details. Since Der Langrisser has a FX, Saturn and PS version, doing direct, frame-by-frame cutscene comparisons for each one (Most likely in the form of direct rips from the ISOs of identical scenes) would be an excellent way to showcase how each system's video encoding compared to each other. It'd also be a good idea to compare the game dialogs, since I recall hearing rumors that -each version- has various differences in dialog with alterations in the plot accordingly.

I was kinda hoping to have DL FX by now so I could really try this kind of thing myself, but haven't gotten a copy yet.

EDIT 2: Reading more of the reviews.

You should probably cut down on the commentary about people calling the PC-FX a "Dating box" - especially on games that actually have a dating element, like Blue Breaker and Arubera's Maiden. Save it for games that avert even having the vague appearance of a dating sim.

Not enough people own the game.  and those who do, not enough understand or want to play the game... lol

and no i never saw you do that.   That's hilarious.  I'll have to edit the writeup and show that off.

I had Battle Heat before, with my last FX..  And I couldnt stand it.  lol.  Maybe if I understood what I was supposed to do I would like it better. 

Yes not knowing what to do makes it feel like you're just watching a demo of the game.

I once had a very detailed guide (though poorly formated and a bit sloppy) on the late Rising Stuff website. It detailed a lot of things better than any prior guide I saw for the game, including major details into how the play mechanics worked, how the specials worked/whatever unique properties they had, and even strategies for how to beat the AI if you -don't- want to abuse jump-kicking.

I wish I saved that... It doesn't appear to have been archived. I may have to do a re-write of it sometime.

Please do rewrite it, so we can add it to the tome of obey.

Falling Junk, what a sad tale.

Apparently Rising Stuff forgot to take its Viagra. :/

Hmm... I still have a few of the old pictures I used on my webspace.

/BHControls.JPG

Yes, they can be rather ugly. Like I said, it wasn't the most polished article. That's a reference for what the (Default) button layout is.

Some of the things I remember off the top of my head;

1) The "Defend" button is probably the most important button in the whole game, because it's an almost-always-working failsafe if you're in trouble.

/Defend.JPG

If you mash the defend button when you see an enemy attack coming, you will block it. You will be chipped, but as far as I've seen -Battle Heat has no Chip Death-, so you can theoretically block perpetually.
It's also the -only way- to get out of certain specials - if it looks like a grab-throw and it's a special, mash the defend button!
Note that some attacks do need to be defended -low- (Down + Defend). This includes being countered from a stomp and any down + attack commands.
The only attack that, to the best of my knowledge, can not be blocked are Kai and Alamis's counter-specials.

2) Obviously enough, the quickest way to beat the CPU is to master the jump-kick, but it kills the fun of the game very quickly;

kiddocabbusses,tryhappy,net/rstuf/quickedit.JPG

Press the "jump" button, and then down + the strong attack button. It'll work at any point while the jumping animation is playing. The CPU may try to cancel the jump animation with an attack, but if he tries a non-special he'll put himself at a disadvantage in the game's countering system, and like I said before, blocking always works.
If you're able to actually get into the jump-kick animation, there's nothing the CPU can do - it ALWAYS takes a hit.

You can also use this command to do a "Stomp" on an enemy that is knocked down. If you want to go for the extra damage, though, I suggest you try to position yourself "far", because the enemy can counter it if you're "near" and you'll be forced to defend or take the hit.

If you get knocked down yourself, and your opponent tries to stomp from near, you can counter by mashing the "Strong attack" button.

3) The cheat code commonly identified as "Extra Characters" does the following;
 A ) Allows you play as "The Holy Dark Empire" characters in single-player mode, fighting the Kriph-side characters. It appears they even have individual character endings just like the Kriph characters.
 B ) Allows the second player to play as the Boss characters in 2-player mode.

4) How the game's countering system works (If memory serves me correctly, I'll get back to analyzing this when I can go through the special moves again);
 A ) Moves have certain properties. For example, some can be done practically anytime, while some require having the player in a specific position or being caught in a particular status.
 B ) Obviously the receiving side can usually counter. The general rule is that moves can be countered with an identical type of move. IE. Low blows from near counter low blows from near. Projectiles counter projectiles. As far as I've seen, only "Grab" specials are un-counterable.
 C ) There are some specials where the attacker changes his position, so the defense has to counter with a special that can be executed under the changed condition. This can particularly be confusing if one can succeed in pulling this off in the middle of a special counter-string.
(IE. Kai does his somersault, which moves him from "near" to "far". The opponent has to counter with a "far" special instead of a "near" special.)
 D ) Counters can be countered back based on basically the same rules, but there is less time to execute it successfully. This is no big deal on basic attacks, but specials are hard to get down this way. After 3 counters, a normal attack will be impossible to counter, although defending might still be possible.
 E ) Kai an Alamis have unblockable counter-specials that appear to be randomly activated during a normal quick or strong attack counter string. With this in mind, try to avoid doing those types of attacks against them if they're your opponent.

4) Ah, yeah, since your "position" is important, I'll explain it;
 A ) Basically, you and your opponent can either be "near" or "far". You can tell just by looking at the top of the screen with the character icons what position they're in - "near" will be closer to the center of the screen while "Far" is near the edges". If you're idly standing in battle, that'll also give some visual cues.
 B ) You can use the commands up, up or down, down to try to switch positions, but it may leave you open for an attack.

(Anndd I'll get through more of this later.)

awesome, might have to bust out the fx and see if i can stumble through battle heat now!

The most recent update is the entire bulk update I did myself that you see.   That all went up at once.

I would like to put some more time into the site, but since I'm also working on making games for PCE, it kinda limits my free time.

What I need to do most is go and remove the large gaps of space on the finished pages....

and then start going again.



I am aiming to do maybe a page a week to get the thing finished up.

SELFISH: I don't mind if you keep the PC-FX site on the back burner whilst you make some gorgeous PSG tunes from Shadow of the Beast (or something equally worthy).

You know you want to. :pcgs:

Sorry to bump this, but if you need help with your site i can help. I know some basic html so i could make some pages and also add in some pictures. I have alot of free time so i dont mind helping for free^^

Certainly help Arkhan.

ALSO, if you have lots of free time, I have a job for you (seriously)...it involves cataloging scanned magazine pages (short description of page, identifying key words (AKA "tags")...

 :pcgs:

No obligation, no pressure...

As long as it does not take forever:P That html work would only take me... 30 mins to 2-3 hours to finish his A-Z game well update/finish it.
cataloging sounds long and boring:P though i do not mind helping you, as long as it has to do with the PC-FX i guess.

What I'd be most interested in getting from people are quality screenshots, because I find that shit to be really tedious and boring.   The HTML is basically save-as-->Fill with new info

Well id fill in all the blanks and you could just edit what you dont like so everything could be finished.

Quote from: Nulltard on 08/27/2013, 03:43 PMOh, c'mon Arkhan... made so many games that you find playing them a chore? :P

Send me a PC-FX and a translator (preferrably Yukie Nakama) and I'll do this for ya. ( :

It's not the playing them, it's the fiddle dicking around with organizing the pages and uploading them.

When I'm at the computer at home, I'm usually working on Atlantean.  :)



I moved the hosting and domain to a new place, and finally setup the Facebook page that I thought I had already made.

So, I will likely start putting the info pages together slowly again.  I have like half of them done, already. 


I'll go back in and add screenshots later.   That seems alright, right?

HEY

I want to start fucking with this site again because it's been too long.

Does anyone have any small comment snippets on any of the games they'd like to submit so it's not just my onesided, possibly Yuna/Rolfee Bias commentary?

Or screenshots, if you want to help submit/gather them?

I'll be honest, I am slow/retarded at doing website stuff because I find the work tedious and boring.

It's also why I don't really post pictures of my stuff.  I am too busy playing around with the stuff to photograph it or grab screenshots.

It's never too late. :)
