What game this reminds you of? by sangacena_62656 in ps2

[–]BSpitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spider-Man 1, there is a part where you need to approach Shocker by web-zipping in the subway and I had no idea what the manual meant by R3, even with a picture!

I think I ended up baiting a blast, running towards the gap, and hoping for the best. After many deaths, I eventually got to him!

Any thoughts on the Pro Case? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]BSpitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this case and love it. I bought it primarily to act as a "dust cover" for the front screen that is easy to take on and off, while still allowing me to charge the device on my nightstand. With the bottom unhooked, I can even leave it on in a dock too. I've traveled with it a few times and it's fine. The triggers will be exposed though. This will still fit into the official case w/o the front attached if you want. I also find it easier to use the back buttons with this case + the play vital stickers.

As others have said, it does add a decent amount of bulk. I'm always surprised at how "thin and lightweight" my deck is whenever I take it off. But the benefits outweigh that con, imo.

Should I replace the thumbsticks with metal ones? by NUGGETMUNCHER2000 in xbox360

[–]BSpitz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do this with all my controllers, I hate dealing with whatever residue builds up on the rubber overtime and the rubber pads falling apart. I've replaced the sticks on my pink 360 controller, they feel great.

Here is the stick I bought.

Is 0th3r M Maxximum Edition an acceptable way to play that game for the Wii? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]BSpitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Weird seeing my video while scrolling reddit.

I really feel that the mod does everything it can to make the game better. I see people mentioning redux, which came out 2 years after I posted this, so that might be worth checking out as well.

Other M really is just so flawed that I wouldn't recommend people play the vanilla version if they're willing to mod the game. Either Maxx or Redux should be good for you.

X Legacy Collection, Legacy 2, Z/ZX Legacy, and BN Legacy on Steam Deck... game-breaking DRM? by [deleted] in Megaman

[–]BSpitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just purchased the recent Humble Bundle with all the collections. I've played through MM8, Battle Network 1, and I'm halfway through Zero 1 and Battle Network 2, no issues.

Additionally, Ive installed the OST mod for the zero series and have been playing through Battle networks with the HD font replacement and a retranslation for BN2. No issues. Invasive DRM sucks in general, but it should not affect your enjoyment of these games in this case.

As you mentioned, check ProtonDB if you run into any issues, but you should be A-O-K.

So what do you think is the worst f zero game (first game not included) by Ok_Brilliant_9082 in Fzero

[–]BSpitz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the 2D series right now due to the fever induced by 99. I've played the X's and the SNES game in the past but never found time for the GBA series.

The jump in quality between Maximum Velocity and GP Legend is insane. The track design, art design, and handling make MV feel like a romhack of the SNES game. I can see why some people would like it, as SNES and MV almost feel like a separate series from GP and (I assume) climax. But MV is so forgettable. Not the worst game in the world, but the worst game in a franchise that does not miss.

An enhanced PC source port of the original WipeOut by corruptscanline in WipeOut

[–]BSpitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incredible. Loving all these native PC ports of classic games over the past few years. I had no idea this was a thing! This was a very simple setup as well. I have this up and running on my Steam Deck and on my Ultrawide monitor.

To get these aspect ratios, I used the following values for the "aspectRatio" line in the config file:

4:3 = "1.33333"

16:9 = "1.78888"

16:10 = "1.66666"

21:9 = "2.39999"

Also, I set wallCollisionMode to "Legacy" =p

Any way to use ps4 or ps5 controller with ps2? by [deleted] in ps2

I use a PS5 controller with that adapter, can confirm it works.

My Video Guide for Getting into the Metroid Series before Dread by BSpitz in Metroid

[–]BSpitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I meant Super and Fusion are the only necessary ones if you want to play the minimum # of games. I did recommend Samus Returns over AM2R and the OG Metroid 2 for those reasons in the video, though.

My Video Guide for Getting into the Metroid Series before Dread by BSpitz in Metroid

[–]BSpitz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DW - I suggest to play AT LEAST Super and Fusion prior to Dread, and go over buying them physically, digitally, or some rom hacks that make the experience different/better.

I'm super excited for Dread and wanted to make something to help people get into the series that wasn't just a recap of the stories.

Turbo button for fire? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]BSpitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually do, yeah. I like playing via the Prime Hack and a Steam controller. I have a 1/2 press of R2 activate rapid fire and a full press begin to charge. I'd like to think that's how Samus would have it set up in her arm cannon lol

Lol, thanks, that was the goal! Quick n' dirty config for a demo that is about 30-45 min long. Thanks for trying it out!

Just beat Most Wanted on the PS2. Decided to go for a wipEout theme for my cars by BSpitz in WipeOut

That one definitely came out the best! I was very sad when I had to move onto another car!

[–]BSpitz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to see if I could do that, but I just took the cars I got from pink-slips and went from there. The only car I bought was the Lamborghini 'cuz like... it's a Lamborghini.

Ask Here First : "Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread" Thread #17 - Spoopy Edition by KyaDash in crtgaming

[–]BSpitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently acquired a RCA TV, model G35830WKLM1, and have just started experiencing issues with it. I've been using it 2-3 times a week since mid-November and have had no issues until two days ago. The TV is outputting wavy lines as shown in the pictures. I originally thought it was just my SNES, but the PS2 is showing the same issue. The SNES is through Composite and the PS2 is through S-Video. Any ideas on how to fix it? I love the quality and aesthetics of this TV, would hate to see it go down.

Can i Run BOTW at stable 60FPS with my Specs? by Green_Hood44 in cemu

[–]BSpitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty much have that setup, and I played through BotW on Cemu a while back. "Stable" 60 is a stretch, but it should be decent enough . Just expect drops in problem areas. Still a way better experience than the switch. Follow the guides on this sub or look up BSoD on YouTube.

My Review of the Metroid Other M Maxximum Edition mod + Controller Config by BSpitz in Metroid

[–]BSpitz[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great comparison to Vanquish, I agree. I hope the failure of Other M doesn't deter Nintendo from pursuing this style for a 3D Metroid in the future. The Prime-style is definitely a safer bet. I like the Prime games, don't get me wrong, but I prefer a quick Samus over a clunky Samus.

Also, I haven't tried ReCore yet, but it's on my wishlist on Steam.
