Well course I am :P

Yame has been prety reliable to me so far . You gotta love it can play four diferent formats , three of which belong to nintendo (NES , SNES , GB) . Couldn't find any working emulator for the SNES that makes external save states (which made playing through Super Bonk 2 a real pain cause , even if the game is marvelously big and overall beautifull , it doesn't run on yame without sprites flickering) . I dunno if it's some setting thing , honestly .

I tried that but he doesn't jump while I hold it , I have to let go of it first :/

Quote from: Mathius on 07/12/2010, 01:09 PM@ San Juan Wolf- Are you holding the run button down as you jump in NAI?

Been playing a little bit of Star Parodier lately. It's a decent game, but I am coming off the heels of Parodius Da! and Star Parodier pales in comparison IMO.
Not sure about that .

But I do think that I was pressing the run button as would anyone in this situation , unless the "run" button refers to the one starting the game (or any other specific button outside the d-pad) .

Finished "Final Soldier" yesterday . Fun shooter which didn't get dificult till level 5 for me . Dunno what to try now . Maybe Parodus or (finaly) Magical Chase .

Also played through Niko Niko Pun , but that took all of ten minutes . I would have been pissed had I actualy payed for it .

Then re-played through Hana Taka Daka , got all the pieces and.....didn't even get diferent credits .

Also currently am at the begining of Youkai Douchuuki , but I don't realy know what to buy from the shop as most of it has no use when I try bringing it up .

Finaly about NAI , I got to a spot early on that I can't jump over normaly any ideas ?

(That reminds me I need to replay Wonderboy and finish it)

Off-Topic / Help with CD emulation ?
07/09/2010, 11:47 AM
Hello there . You may remember how a while ago I said I can't get any CD games to work on emulators .

I would wish to ask , as I am completly new to CD emulation , what emulator you think os the best , along with an alternative or two (in case it doesn't work) , and more importantly , what I need .

I tried getting "Riot Zone" to work and downloaded what I asume is a "rom" equivalent here

[ISO LINK DELETED BY NAT]

However I don't know what this is suposed to run on , nor do I know what "Iso"'s are .

Could anyone please explain ?

Obacchan-Kun......dear lord this game feels trashy .
#7
Okay I figured out wht went wrong . The Deloreon scores points realy weird , even if I get it when it's stil there at the highest altitude the game thinks it's already gone so it doesn't award points . Gave mte the 3000 points I was missing .
#8
Stil on Saint Dragon , level 6 .
#9
Returned to playing Saint Dragon , at stage 4 now actualy .
#10
Finished Hana Taka Daka! Not the best ending but meh .

Also Roy's avatar reminds me I need to go back to Splatterhouse .
#11

This is a weird f'n game!
Lol I just got this . Haven't played it all too much , as I started something else though .

Just playing through Liquid Kids . Prety fun so far .
#12
Oh I'm interested in taking on the game . All I'm saying is I can't quite seem to get enough even if I get mostly everything .

The only things I usualy miss is the guy jumping from a window and the falling plane cause they are such a bitch to get without getting hit (the second one anyway)
#13
Hana Taka Daka! Interesting flying shooter of the character variety , but I am kinda stuck in the bonus (cake) stage of level 4 and I don't know how many more ants throwing strawberries I can stand ! :O

edit :

@ Necromancer : If you ever played a Crash Bandicoot game you know it goes up to at least 103 %  [-X

Off-Topic / Re: Just got screwed on Ebay
06/07/2010, 07:08 PM
@ Arkhan : wait so he sent you the games ? I know , from personal experience that once your auction acount gets closed lots of the time , sending out the items is just not worth it anymore . Especialy if you keep getting hits on buy it now (not on ebay) that ram your fees up the ass and no one actualy wants to pay .

This happened lots of time . Auction has specificaly written you had to pay first . Guy buys it now then sends a message asking for a "personal meeting" aka to give it over hand to hand . Rinse and repeat for another five people , and you have yourself a problem .

I once even got a message saying I was "suspicious" for trying to sell items I don't physicaly own at the moment !
#15
I am dodging shit and photographing all the bizarre shit . But I can't get past the first level . Maybe I shouldn't snapshot the "panty" moments (except on the statue of Liberty I mean if that's not a winner I don't know what is :P ) .

Also getting the falling plane snapshot is a bitch and it doesn't apear to bring any points .

Which makes me sad cause this looks like I game I realy wanna like .
#16
I found this interesting little game , only problem is  I can't get beyond the first stage . You'd think photographing flying saucers and the statue of liberty's panties would suffice .

Anyone know what I have to specificaly get ?
#17
Well the Nostale adds certainly threw me off .

I wouldn't realy call that huge but okay .
#18
Well started City Hunter . Hope it don't get to confusing .

May try some of the other new platformers I got in the meantime .
#19
Personaly I do not mind buying bootlegs , half of my Playstation library are bootlegs in fact . Of course if it claims to be the original or is in a format that would not work regularly , then I'd get pissed .
#20
Truth be told I kinda messed up when I set it up , as I'm not used to...whatever type of forum this is (I usualy frequent VBulletin ones) .

Anyway , fixed now.....I hope .
#21
Asinine ? How so ? I know it's long by local standarts , I guess .

Well if it realy bothers you so much......
#22
I was asking what you meant by that ....but then remembered you don't like my posts to be to short so I added the extra "what" to please you :P
#23
Uhm L3370                        ?

What ?

Quote from: San Juan Wolf on 05/31/2010, 05:09 PMWell like I said I only finished the first level for now .

While I am not a fan of shooters this one is sufficiently diferent from others in that you don't control a boring ol' ship , so I think I may like it .
Have you ever tried Image Fight? If you find most shooters boring you may like Image Fight because of the red pods.
I don't think I have .

Reminds me of another game , a free internet one , where you catch shapes by the sound of music and try to expand your dot as much as possible , but that's beside the point .
#25
I realy agree especialy with how anoying the levels become when the spear droping guys get introduced .

That and the second boss realy looks lame as hell .

Edit : as for Aoi Blink , the rom simply does not work . The title screen goes up and so do the demos but when I press the run buton I get the next screen but no matter what button I press , nothing happens .
#26

#27
@ Arkhan : Yeah I tried it . Am at the second level now actualy .

As for Don Doko Don , I'm curently in the 30's levels and boy are they anoyingly hard . Right at the scorpion boss too .
#28
I just got me hands on these working roms for the PCE , and wondered if anyone has ever played any of these .

City Hunter
Don Doko Don
Gokuraku Chuka Taisen
Champion Wrestler
Jigoku Meguri
Tenseiryu (Saint Dragon)

I can't get Aoi Blink to start (though it shows the title screen and demo) .
#29
Curently playing Tenseiryu (Saint Dragon) .
#30
I will check that out , but as of now I can safely say pixel by pixel stuff is just not my thing .
#31
What ? Was that directed at moi ?
#32
Yeah I know . What I meant is I can not for the life of me arange them to look to naturaly blend into one another when viewed from a distance . Like hair for example .

I can edit pictures though , for example the Poop God from Toilet kids , I basicly turned him into a black guy in a read hat .

Not sure if I can do anything from scratch though . Maybe I'm just too afraid of it actualy .
#33
Yeah but unless they are giving them away free I probably won't be able to get it :P

I dunno , I have problems doing drawing anything like that in paint cause I always screw up the "border areas" aka the areas where one color more or less passes into the next .
#34
Drawing in MS Paint ?

I don't posses any tools for drawing , and I can't very well draw it with a mouse , right ?

No what I meant was I beat the drunken master and then the game has me redo all the stages again twice , and I get a "Game over" . Is there something I'm missing ?
#36
Stil not sure how to actualy draw stuff on a computer . If you have a reference of some sort I would be glad to see it .
#37
I wonder....do you need some kind of palette to create the sprite images though ?

I have a few ideas but never managed to have them materialise . Like a platformer involving snowmen .
#38
Problem there is I find most of the time it's randomly generated . I could be wrong but repeated replays show that lots of the stuff changes location .

Also I find the programing on the bosses to be terrible at times . Like that octopus guy . It takes one hit yet getting there is so damn akward . It's like the Chimera when you can just walk behind it and kill it from behind without it attacking you once , only in a bad way .
#39
I looked up some reviews of it just to be sure and the ones I did find were rather negative .

@ SignOfZeta : nope , don't have an acount there sorry :P . And you will be talking diferently as I venture into the auto castrating cash in that is....My Hero . (In a few minutes I hope) .

Yeah that falls amongst the "few others" . I played it but....I meant to ask , cause are the stages meant to loop or is there something I'm missing ?
#41
You coming along to ruin this place when everything was going so swimingly :P

Anyways Arkhan , the timer is a huge bitch for me , and even with a walthrough the last parts of he game are dang near impossible . I wish Yame had game genie imput (the thing won't work on anything else !)

#43

I am curently playing Wonderboy 2  on the TG 16 and would need a bit of help .

Does anyone know how to jump to avoid falling in the spikes in round 6 ?
#45
Yeah but it stil sucks ?

@ ccovell : May check those out at some point . Also , on the topic of SMS , you tried My Hero ? It's on my list of Worst Games I have ever played and a review is comming real soon .
#46
You need Winston or Stew for this .

Not that it matters because of how repulsive it is .

I hope the other reviews will be a little more witty then this one .
#47
Well I went with Wonderboy 2 but in Round 6 I can't figure out how to not fall in the spikes off of those falling blocks .
#48
"Hero Agen" (something something , know it only by file name)
"Night Creatures"
"Parodius"
"Silent Debuggers"
"Splatterhouse"
"Talespin"
"Wonder Boy 2"
"Yo Bro"

Some of the files curently at my diposition (have more elsewhere)

I have to admit though that the way I get to play the games is....well not exactly legal .

Hey I never even got a PS2 , I'm not exactly rolling in dough .

I have always wondered about this sort of thing . I tried doing something on game maker but all I did was make a bunch of swastika platforms with a gigantic Swarzenegger doing a nazi salute as a "boss" and being killed by jumping on it's head .

But sadly I have never found out how to make sprites or anything , while I do have lots of ideas , I find no real way to execute them .
