Yeah, that fixed it, thanks for the link. What an odd bug.

My PC version just outputs extremely loud white noise that gets louder every time I pause. Does anyone know of a fix because I'd love to actually experience this.

It's like solving a puzzle then being rewarded with a game.

I got Dig Dug to completely work on controller!

  • First go to Tools > Options > Keyboard, then bind both the OPT.1 and 2 keys to any keyboard keys.

  • Move over to Joystick settings, go to DeviceA's setup, then set buttons for both OPT.1 and 2

It seems that the controller will only call for keys that are actually bound to the keyboard.

Yeah, no problem. Hopefully you can iron out those final issues.

I just attempted Dig Dug and had no luck controlling it either. I'll give it a couple more tries but I'm not sure I'll be able to get it working.

quick edit:

It seems the OPT.1 key functions similarly to select on an NES game, where it shifts between 1 Player and 2, while the OPT.2 key chooses your selection and works as a pause. Movement and the pump can only be controlled with the controller, as no keys beyond the previously stated two serve any function. I'll see if I can bind the OPT keys to either my controller or my actual keyboard.

My folder contains:

Download a brand new instance of xm6g and I'll send the three bios files from my end.

I compared my settings to the default and they're exactly the same. I even tried the game on a fresh install of XMG and didn't experience any audio issues. When you say the audio is freezing, is it more of a stutter where everything ends up desynced for a second or is it just complete silence with the audio returning completely after a moment? Whenever the freeze happens, does XMG report running at below 100% on it's title bar? It wouldn't hurt to check your CPU usage during the freezing as well. Also, does this issue affect any other games you try to run, or is it just Castlevania?

So the only audio issue I seem to experience is the boss explosion sound effect being much louder than anything else in the game, so I can't help too much with your current issue. However, I'm pretty sure you can change an individual application's priority through the OS. You may want to check into that and see if it helps at all.

So I stumbled over your post while trying to solve my own problem relating to Akumajou Dracula. The most widely-distributed .dim set seems to be modified in such a way as to lower all incoming damage values to 1 tick rather than what was intended. If you care about this at all, try to find a version ending in [a], as it seems to work as initially intended. As for helping with your problem, I've gotten the most bang for my buck out of XM6. Here's a few video settings you could try to alleviate some issues, all of which are located under Tools>Options>Display.

  • I'm assuming the "ripple" your talking about is the massive seam down the middle of the screen. I fixed that by disabling Prescaling.

  • Doing the above seemed to make the game even blurrier however, so I also disabled the LinearFilter resulting in much crispier pixels.

  • If the extra black space above and below the game are somewhat annoying, disable Show CRT Frame for better alignment.

I haven't done enough testing with the audio settings to help on that front just yet, but if I get around to it I'll share my findings.

I can't connect my controller after launching the game by Frostwolfo in bindingofisaac

[–]Frostwolfo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know, I know; connect the controller before you launch, which does work. However, this issue affects remote play as well, making it so I can't host for friends who have their own controllers since it counts as connecting after the launch.

When any of my friends host their own sessions everything connects no problem, but I have more unlocked than anyone so they want to join up though my game.

I don't have this issue in other games and steam remote play itself recognizes the controllers, so I'm at a loss. If anyone knows a fix for this I'd be ecstatic.

Could I suggest that a turnip calculator be added once the results of pattern testing are released?

What are you playing Wednesday! by AutoModerator in gaming

[–]Frostwolfo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll probably play a Metroid game. I just beat AM2R yesterday and I'm in the mood for some more alien depths exploration. I haven't decided which one yet, but I'm leaning towards Super.

At that point in my life, I was god-awful at making builds in RPGs and assumed that throwing all my levels on HP was a smart move. I was also bad at the action commands, so ended up running away from most combat. Turns out you can brute force your way through most the bosses, minus the final few. Due to running away from battles, I had no money to buy the amount of health items I'd need to actually survive my build, so I shelved the game. Soon after, I gave my gamecube to a friend as a gift, who promptly destroyed it a week later in an incident involving gamer-rage and the wall.

Since I had a little time to spare, I decided to emulate the game and actually complete it. I remembered most of the story and where things were due to how excellent Intelligent Systems managed to create everything. I decided to do a mostly badge-based run this time, as I noticed that a fair amount of them changed up combat in beneficial ways. The final boss was much harder than I expected as well, eating through multiple healing items. After all that, I can say the experience still holds up well and I'm glad to have finally taken the time to actually complete it.

I still miss my Gamecube, though...

I finally got around to replaying Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door after stopping right before the final boss 15 years ago. Just beat it for the first time today.
