@845H Seems like broken logic to me honestly. There are plenty of systems that can't run all emulation as well, and yet you're okay with that, but not with FPGA? My Steam Deck can't run a lot of emulation. Does that mean you should skip emulation? Of course not.

I need to wait for controller support on this one. I cannot play games with a keyboard and mouse due to disability issues. But man, it looks so good!

@carlos82 You're not wrong! Exactly one game at launch! Good old Crash'n Burn.

Terry has always been the face of SNK in my opinion. I like Kyo, but he never replaced Terry for me.

Always loved this game. One of my favorite games in the series.

Beyond Sonic CD, I also always loved Snatcher and the two Lunar games on Sega CD!

Sadly, it doesn't work on MiSTer. It just glitches out when booting it up.

I had a ton of fun playing through this earlier this year.

But what about my beloved 3DO!? ;_;

Pretty bummed by the GB green color pallet. That's not what I think of when I think of PC-98. If it had full color, I'd jump on this one immediately.

The camera work looks super awkward when going around corners in the game. It cuts off way too much of the screen in the direction of the curve, basically making it like driving blind. Definitely needs work on that front.

@Blast16 Asking for your money back would be all well and good if they actually allowed it. But they don't in most cases, and even when they do, they charge you a 15% restocking fee. The whole point of this story is that literally nobody has heard back from them for two months since this whole fiasco started. No returns. No refunds. No replacements. No news or updates on the progress (if any) on any of those things.

I'll repeat what I said on VGE's channel about this:
What a lot of companies and PR teams don't understand, is that sometimes no news is still news. Just communicate. If there aren't any updates yet, then just tell us that. It's better than complete radio silence. It at least tells people that you care enough to not ghost them.

Bought my MiSTer a little more than two years ago, and it is the best retro gaming device that I have ever purchased. Easily worth every penny for me. It is rare that I go even a single day without playing something on it.

I hate to be one of those people, but honestly I think the original looks better.

Copied? No. Inspired by? Maybe.

I'll never understand the desire to translate knowingly bad games over actual good games that still don't have translations. Like why on earth does something like Princess Crown still not have a translation, but then a dumpster fire like this game does? For me, there is no such thing as "so bad, it's good". If it's bad, it's just bad.

It continues to look incredible! Can't wait for this one.

Been following this one for a long time. The developer posts updates daily on Twitter. He definitely gets stressed out a lot, but his heart is in the right place with this one. Hope it turns out well (and hope it runs great on Steam Deck)!

Also tried the SNES demo, and the first thing I immediately noticed is that the attack and jumps buttons are mapped wrong. On SNES, those are always the Y and B buttons. But they're mapped to B and A here, which is absolutely bizarre and awkward.

I just wish that the map view wasn't so limited! You can barely see anything when looking at the map, and as far as I can tell, you can't scroll the map to see other parts of it that you've traversed. It's practically useless as it is.

I got my 3DS on launch day, and in all the years since, I never once received a legitimate random street pass. The only street pass I ever received was one that was intentional from a store kiosk I visited! I understand why the feature was removed since it was mostly only useful if you lived in a busy city area.

What are those giant button looking things? Are they spinners?

This is one of the few infamously bad games that actually deserves its reputation. It really is that bad!

Interesting, I've never heard of this one. I'll have to check it out!

This game is incredible! Bought it as soon as it went live on Steam. I've done 7 runs through the game so far, and I've loved every minute of it.

I remember playing the demo for this game on my 3DO back in the day. I was really looking forward to it at the time, but once I played it, my interest died almost immediately. It just didn't feel good to play. The jump physics in particular feel so busted!

I saw this movie in the theater when I was a kid, and I looooved it at the time. Video games were my life back then, so seeing a movie all about them, and then seeing SMB3 at the end blew my mind!

The Saturn is my favorite console of its generation. I still have my original Saturn console and some of my favorite games of the generation on it (Dragon Force)!

If you have the money to spend on it, FPGA is absolutely the way to go for systems that are supported by it. If I want to play SNES games, my MiSTer or Analogue Pocket are always going to be my go–to devices for it. I will never play those games on Nintendo Switch Online for example.

But for later consoles like the Gamecube and PS2, software emulation is not only the way to go, but really the only option outside of original hardware! That said, it's not perfect either. I was trying to play Ace Combat 4 for example last year on software emulation, and while the game was playable, it had severe issues. But then you have stuff like F-Zero GX on the Gamecube that played perfectly on software emulation! It really all depends on the game.

I was worried for a moment there that it wasn't compatible with Switch! Should probably add that to the title!

I tried this out yesterday, and while it is very cool to see a translation for this game, I have to admit that in practice, much of it feels pointless. I can't read the translated subtitles when I need to focus on the notes at the bottom of the screen. The only real way to translate a game like this is to provide translated voice acting/music as well. It reminds me of the story mode DLC in Sol Cresta. It's entirely voiced in japanese, so you can't even read the subtitles when you're focused on actually playing a shmup.

The first arcade machine that they need to boot up and play when they reopen should be Altered Beast. Rise from your grave!

All I'll say is that I love all FPGA platforms, and that I love the work everyone is doing on them to preserve classic games and hardware. Love it!

I also just worked directly with srg320 to get Shining Force III working properly on the MiSTer Saturn core, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Amazing job by him and everyone else in the community who help make these platforms what they are.

@RetroGames Honestly, I think it's more that the game is already available on so many other retro platforms that it's been covered enough by now. It's just not that exciting that there's a SNES version of Xenocrisis at this point. Great game, but it's been covered plenty of times already.

Seems really petty to not bring it to MiSTer. I have an Analogue Pocket, but I'd rather play this on my MiSTer for easy multiplayer.

Huge mistake on their part to not release digital versions. I was more than happy to buy my copy of Astebros to play on my MiSTer. Will not be supporting this effort at all. Bad move Neofid!

I wonder if the core will use the Pocket's variable refresh display to run the games at 55hz, which is what M72 games run at. My MiSTer runs them at 55hz on my LG C3 OLED, so it would be cool to have that on my Pocket as well!

The Turbografx-16 version is definitely the superior version, but the Genesis version still a fun time, and is quite different, so it's kind of its own thing as well.

@BionicDodo I got it working yesterday. For Model 2, you need to put the roms into the second "roms" folder that is inside the Model 2 folder. As far as I'm aware, that is the only emulator in emudeck that does that.

Also, if you want to change dip switches for Model 3, press "6" on the virtual keyboard. For Model 2, press "F2".

Kind of wish they didn't go the green screen route. Every PC-98 game I've played was in full color.

Dang, it seems to be bugged right now. Steam ROM Manager doesn't recognize any Model 2 or 3 games. Hopefully they fix it soon.

They need to fix the collision/hit detection for the game. It is horrendous. I really wanted to like it, but that killed the game for me. There are times when your bullets will pass right through enemies, and then other times when your bullets will hit an enemy that isn't even in their path.

Genesis it is then. XD

The Saturn core is really improving a lot recently. I've also been testing each release, and srg320 has been updating it a couple times a week lately. Some big games have had critical improvements, like Shinging Force III no longer crashing when casting a healing spell.

Dang, no Dragon Force!? That's the best game on Saturn!

I thought Tekken 5 was considered one of the best in the series, so I'm surprised to see it ranked so low here.

Damn, no love for Killer Instinct? That game is incredible.

What is a boy to do!?

WTF, both stores that sell it in North America don't accept Mastercard. That's like, the number one credit card in the nation? Guess I won't be giving it a try.

VideoGameEsoterica is a super nice guy. Check out his Youtube channel if you love obscure video game history.

If they can get this thing working with MiSTer, I'll buy one in an instant.
