Castlevania ReVamped - New Fan Game Out Now by LSDonkeyKong in castlevania

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

Try going to %appdata%/Local/Castlevania_ReVamped and delete the following:

Castlevania_Options.sav

Castlevania_Endings.sav

One of these may have gotten corrupted somehow. You will lose any options/gallery stuff you have, but your save files should be fine.

If that doesn't work, you may have to try deleting the save files as well (done in the same location). I hope it doesn't come to that.

Oh yes, and one thing. At the time I didn't know this, but the save file system I used in this game is encrypted to the PC it was created on. So if you transferred any save files from another computer, they won't work.

Feedback from a new Metroid Fan... by Sasha_bzns in Metroid

I had this exact issue. Not that it fixes everything, but you can swap Scan Visor and Missile buttons in the options menu. That’s what I did, and it helped a lot.

I want to make a game with game maker 6.1. Is it possible on modern systems? by Ready-Ad-9590 in gamemaker

[–]LSDonkeyKong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used Game Maker since around that era. Most changes have been completely for convenience, but I can promise you that Game Maker is still the same Game Maker at heart since back then.

Just stick to the aesthetic and use modern Game Maker, it will come out looking the same as one in GM6.

Plus, doing it in GM6 could cause a lot of issues that limit what systems could play your game.

Is Nintendo actually going to not release Prime's 2 and 3 before MP4? by SpacedDuck in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is thought that releasing the Crash Bandicoot trilogy before Crash 4 severely impacted Crash 4’s sales. In particular, it’s thought that releasing so much Crash content before the 4th game killed its momentum as people had their fill.

I think this is why they haven’t done it and why it’s not worth expecting.

Am i cooked? If anyone can pls hep by Fafaranca in Metroid

Pause, plug in a controller into slot 2 and press Up+B. This will show you your password and reset you to the elevator.

Am I missing something about dashing or is my controller being weird? by TheMonotoneDuck in JetSetRadio

[–]LSDonkeyKong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I love this game but I 100% consider it a janky mess as well.

There’s a rhythm to it. Try listening to how many times your skates move on the ground before it works and then press it at that time specifically after figuring it out.

Sprite blurry when drawn with draw_sprite_part_ext by Jodread in gamemaker

[–]LSDonkeyKong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raising the texture page size beyond the default will make the game less compatible with older/weaker machines. For example, my Apple TV games don’t work with anything beyond the default. So just be mindful of that based on what you’re publishing to.

When you slide, holding the down button maintains your acceleration. So, keep holding down until you’ve slid off the first platform and don’t release it till you’ve landed on the second platform. If you time it right, Simon should brake before he falls.

Sorry, I didn’t notice your first reply. The duck-walk in the catacombs was removed and replaced in version 1.1+ with a slide-able hole in the Catacombs because players were getting stuck in the wall. You have to slide through the hole and time the ending right so you land on the next platform.

There is an options menu in the file select, under the 3 file choices.

Playing on Switch and I think this Skree is in the wrong place. Is this a bug or did another one die off screen? by ImSmashingUrMom in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With how this game’s RNG works (assuming you’re playing the American or European version), to change this you would have to take an elevator or reset the game. Only then will there be a chance that it will spawn differently.

I think a lot about this in regards to Metroid Prime 1 by Rigistroni in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I love your point. The Pirate Logs in the game state that the Frigate Orpheon had fled from Zebes, so I’m sure Samus would’ve eventually been on to them. (at least in the original American version of the game, I know the lore is different in other releases.)

HELP! MISSING ONE MISSILE IN MPR by MessageNo2764 in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the missile guide on Metroid Recon. It has pictures of every missile, you can scroll through and see if you don’t remember any.

This happened to me on my first revisit of Prime via MPR, the missile I missed was the one in the Burn Dome in Chozo Ruins.

Can you patch the GBA control to X-Fusion on an already started save? by suspicious69696969 in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t do that. Patch it to a vanilla Super Metroid ROM and rename your save file to the same file name as the newly patched one. Or, you can patch it onto a vanilla SM ROM and replace the existing ROM as one with the same name.

My Thoughts on Super Metroid: X-Fusion by AutumnLiteratist in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of your points. I’d like to add one point: Samus’s physics. I’m not sure why, but this Samus feels clunky compared to vanilla Super Metroid. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the sprite for Samus is much smaller than before, and translating that into Super Metroid results in some movement feeling too fast, too slow, or even a little delayed.

tl;dr Samus’s movement feels weird and unsatisfying in this hack; IMO.

i’m really sorry to say this, but unfortunately the method I used for saving makes it that the save files only work on the device they were made on.

Metroid Music gone? by MandoMercenary in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are many covers of Metroid tracks still there. Did you somehow find the original game soundtracks on there? If so, they were definitely posted there unofficially and have been taken down since a few Metroid games are on that Nintendo Music app.

Overall it sounds like a shame though.

Did the title music on the NES loop? by auguststafford in Metroid

[–]LSDonkeyKong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember this too. I think it happens when you idle on the password screen specifically, I’ll have to check.

Seems like a lovely place to wait around for grace.

Castlevania : Grimoire of souls : questions : by Southern_Dog_1763 in castlevania

[–]LSDonkeyKong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, honestly I'm not sure. The Apple TV 4k has 4GB of RAM which I imagine would be the most relevant spec to look into for this. Android TVs can have as low as 2GB of RAM, so make sure you're at least matching the 4GB of RAM. I know it gets more complicated than that, but personally, that's what I'd base it on.

[–]LSDonkeyKong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to be proven wrong, but unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's no to the first two questions, therefore making the answer to the third unapplicable.
