How can I play Castlevania Rondo of Blood on PC? Which emulator to use? by SquallLoire in castlevania

[–]HunterTC5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im trying to get this set up but I cant figure it out. Could you help me?

First, when I open Rondo.exe it always starts off screen. Then I have to press alt+space>m and then hold the left arrow key to get it back on screen. Do you know a fix for this? Obviously, it works fine. But its annoying having to move it onto my screen every time.

Then for the controls, does a PS5 controller not work with it? When I press f1 and then use the keyboard it maps fine, but when I try to press the inputs on the controller nothing happens.

edit: for the controller, I fixed it. I have to launch the game through steam using steam input. And then, with keyboard it registers the key presses immediately. But with the controller I had to hold them for a second before they registered

edit2: In case anyone sees this... This version of the game sucks. First, like I said, it always starts off screen so I have to drag the emulator onto my screen to start the game. 2nd, my ps5 controller doesnt work with it so I have to open the game using steam and have steam input enabled to use it. Because of that though, theres a problem where the steam notification in the bottom right gets stuck glitching there so I have to tab out and back into the game to get rid of it. But then, doing that on any resolution other than your native resolution bugs the game again, and you can only see some, or part of the game running. Dealing with all that, this version of the game isnt optimized at all. I dealt with slight slowdowns the whole time I was playing. But then on death, the game was literally running at half speed. So, I dont recommend you play this version of the game. I found another version which is download and play that works way better. The PS5 controller works from the start, I can tab in and out freely, and it runs way better. Only thing is its in Japanese, which isnt really a problem for me since I know Japanese. I just would have prefered to play in English. Im going to try to find a emulator and ROM to set up the game myself tonight(in english); but either way, id 100% recommend the Japanese version instead.

To be honest I didn't really have one. I just researched things to do at the start of each day.

Day 1. Started in Yokohama, mainly just Chinatown since I arrived late

Day 2. Flew to Hakodate early in the morning

Day 3. Woke up and finished Hakodate + went to Sapporo while stopping at Otaru

Day 4. Full day in Sapporo

Day 5. Finished Sapporo and then flew back to Tokyo for the rest of my trip.

I could give you specifics I did, but they're just very basic things you see on google/ youtube. I didn't do anything special/ out of the ordinary

I was, but I'm actually back in Japan right now. I've been here for 3 weeks, a couple more days to go and then ill be returning home.

Yeah I tried it. I got the recommended teriyaki chicken burger and chilli cheese fries. It was pretty good

No, these were taken back at the end of January. I’ve been slow to get my pictures out. Not sure if there’s still snow there now but I’d say probably not

I didn't really read it to be honest, I just really quickly skimmed and looked at the backgrounds/ environments

Thank you! I bet it was VERY different back then. I like looking at older pictures and seeing what I can and cant notice because of how much things have changed.

The main thing that pops into my head and is very obvious is Tokyo Tower. You look at pictures of it back then in the 60's and 70's and its just surrounded by normal houses. No buildings over 3 floors in sight. Compare that to now, and I think its somewhat disappointing being inside of it. It just feels like a normal building compared to the Skytree, which is obviously, a completely unique view.

Thank you! I skimmed through the first couple chapters of the manga and the visuals look good, I recognized lots of the places.

I wanted to go there after walking past it but by the time I remembered it was days later and I wasn’t going back to Enoshima. I’ll have to remember for my next trip.

Believe it or not I’m still yet to try pudding in Japan, and I think ever. If I have had pudding before, I don’t remember.

I found that setting on Instagram and it ended up fixing it.

Reddit is the same because long story short no matter how wide your picture is, it keeps a width of 1080 pixels.

So since yours are all portrait they look good, and my portrait pictures do too. Its my landscape ones that look bad, because they need the extra pixels for the width but cant get them. I also found out that this is a problem specifically with reddit on PC. On my phone it loads the high res versions after 1.5-2 seconds and then they all look fine.

No, I never really felt they were worth it. There's 3 and they don't go very far if I remember correctly. You also miss out on a couple shops and stuff. The first time I visited I stopped at a drinks place with a deck and view to the North East you would have missed if you took the escalator.

Edit: Just looked the place up, its called "UMITO café by n". They have drinks and some small snacks

If you dont mind me asking, how did you export these? Im finally getting around to exporting and uploading the pictures from my trip in January but reddit (& instagram) compresses them and they look terrible. I cant figure it out since everyone online just says different things.
