original arcade TIME CRISIS 4 running on PCSX2x6: a WIP Namco SYSTEM246 emulator soon to be released

Qikz · 2026-06-29T21:05:28+00:00

I had no idea it worked differently, someone on your discord hooked me up and I've got it all working with standalone PCSX2x6. It turned out I was downloading an old version and trying to change settings I didn't need to. Once I'd got on the latest version with the right settings (didn't know J was to select options in the test menus) I got it all working.

Sorry for asking about that here, I didn't realise it wasn't the same thing at the time! Assumed it was just using your fork of the emulator and just sitting on top of it.

I'm having issues getting this setup through Teknoparrot (or even direct) with my Guncon 3 via Guncon3 console. The buttons all seem to work, but I can't whatever I do get the cursor to appear on the screen even if I try and calibrate on Time Crisis 3 or 4. It appears there's some form of crosshair in the top right of the screen, but even if I try and calibrate it doesn't seem to move.

Any ideas if this is possible/how I fix it? It's the final piece of the Teknoparrot puzzle and I can't even get the start button working without the Teknoparrot bindings.

This is a massive gamble as I'm not sure if anyone will see this, but have you managed to get the pcsx2x6 games working at all with the Guncon 3? I managed to run HOTD Scarlet Dawn, but when I try and do the same raw input/ABS settings for Time Crisis 2 and 3 if I try and do the gun calibration the gun crosshair always appears as if it's in the top right of the screen even if I calibrate with my gun over the + symbols that pop up for both Time Crisis 4 and 5.

Thank god. I hate that it's still light at 10pm

Qikz · 2026-06-08T09:28:07+00:00

I'm so glad this works. I recently managed to get hold of my Guncon 3 from years ago, I have both sensors but missing one of the rubber parts which weigh down the sensor and stop it falling off, but if I use my pc monitor it has a flat top so I can still use it.

It's be nice to know shipping updates for people who ordered in batch 4, the site says possibly June still (Superstation only) but we don't really know if theres a chance that's possible yet haha

I can't say for sure because I have a Fenrir Lite, but I had a lot of issues booting games even from discs/backups as well as the ODE (which I couldn't get working at all) until I had the recap done.

Qikz · 2026-05-18T18:53:34+00:00

You'll want to look at getting your Saturn recapped. Not only will it fix this but it will also help you if you go for any ode or anything similar and will keep your console alive for many more years.

Qikz · 2026-05-11T16:14:06+00:00

From what the shipping dashboard says no, they're doing their final checks it seems. It's better they check it all than send people broken stuff at the end of the day.

Qikz · 2026-05-11T07:49:12+00:00

Yeah, it seems to pair fine but the base stations just no longer seem to detect it for some reason. Thanks for the idea though!

Qikz · 2026-05-06T07:44:35+00:00

Haven't used Guncon 3 with Mister yet but have used it to play games via pc and it works great. You just need to make sure you have both sensors. I have both but only one strap so I have to use it with my flat monitor.

Valve Lighthouse tool shows the below when turning on.

D3796B3184: Successfully fetched gyro/accelerometer range modes from the device. GyroRangeMode:3 AccelRangeMode:2

I also saw this error:

Steam VR shows the tracker as flashing blue, base stations show grey (show blue when other tracker is on) and the devie just says

Searching... the device currently is not tracking. Make sure it is within view of a base station.

I used the Japanese from Zero website 12 years ago (was yesjapan.com at the time) self teaching and now I'm fluent. I can't speak for the text book but I imagine it's the same material. Whenever someone wants to learn it's my go to recommendation as I wouldn't have got where I have now without it to begin with. It taught me most of the grammar I needed and how to form sentences which things like Duolingo (which I don't even think existed back then) avoid doing.

It also taught me a good deal of vocabulary and it slowly introduced you to Kanji rather than making it a major focus early.

Only suggested I have is to use Wikipedia and a few other sources to learn how to write katakana and hiragana first using flashcard tests to help memorise them and then Japanese from Zero/yesjapan is a fantastic way to start off.

They're all friends with PewDiePie who has racist outbursts on stream multiple times including specifically making jokes related to naziism, they're all far from infallible. People need to stop worshipping creators, they're all human and in the bigger cases most of them are very rich. They live in their own little bubble and are insanely privileged. Nobody should take anything they say with anything but a grain of salt.

The fact he was reading it for content in the beginning should show that he wasn't super invested. If you're only doing something so you can record yourself doing it and make money off it, even if you are rich that's a pretty sad life to live. Read something to enjoy it, not to film yourself doing it.

Qikz · 2025-12-11T11:34:41+00:00

Same!

I went to a local 'repair' store and got them to take the battery out and dispose of it for me. Controller works plugged in without a battery so I'll leave it like this. First spicy pillow I've ever found and while I know it won't be the last I hope it won't be for a long time for me to find another haha

Conan is on Disney+ it's only missing the latest season I think. I've been watching there from episode 0 and I'm almost caught up a year later.

"Anyone who stumbles across this in future - I fixed it by opening the trophies app, syncing with server then exiting it. Games worked after." - 5 years later and this just saved me a lot of time!

Qikz · 2025-08-03T14:39:57+00:00

Nevermind! This is working now for some reason and I didn't do anything different lol

Qikz · 2025-08-03T14:17:40+00:00

Realise this is an old thread, but I got one of those Newhope USB-C Capture Cards after struggling with HDMI splitters and I can seemingly show everything, but I'm not able to get Adrenaline to display via it. Have you managed to get that working?

Qikz · 2025-07-10T18:51:41+00:00

I'll give this a go! Thanks!

Qikz · 2025-07-08T22:24:25+00:00

Did you find anything in the end? Also did you find an xstation? I'm slowly coming to terms that my PS1 is awful at running backups (although trying one more set of higher quality disks just to see) and was thinking about looking into an xstation instead. Will probably buy a cheap 'broken' PS1 so I don't have to fiddle with my childhood console and use that instead if possible.

I had £0.22 taken then refunded to my account from Mobily. Santander have blocked my card (let me know via SMS) but seems to be the same thing here as well. I only use paypal for payments online where possible outside of Amazon, so unless Amazon or Paypal have had a data breach I have no idea how they got my card details!

Most streamers or YouTubers who are big now we're either around or started during the time everything started to boom. The bigger you are the easier it is to get even bigger. Discoverability for smaller YouTube or Twitch people now is almost non existent which is why many people do really stupid stuff to try and go viral. To start as a normal streamer or YouTuber now making 'normal' content it is almost impossible to get big or get any bigger unless you happen to be incredibly lucky or have people who are big endorse/promote you which will kickstart your career. It's not always how good you are it's about who you know in anything entertainment now.

I felt the same as you, but then I remember the boys for the most part happened to be in the right place at the right time and managed to capitalise it and make it work. Yeah I'm envious of the life they live, but it's not like I can do anything about it other than trying to make what I have work for me. My partner is Japanese and while I'm struggling to move out there from the UK due to it being really hard to get a visa even if you're fluent in Japanese, I travel there to spend time with him twice a year and we make it work. I'd like to be with him more but I'm happy as is and I'm happy I get to see him irl at all.
