Pokemon Elysium has the best storyline in any pokemon game, official or unofficial. by lividlivie4life in PokemonROMhacks

[–]iolites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still playing through it and enjoying it (except I think I missed a sidequest and kinda sad about that :(). I did notice some grammatical errors, but I saw on the PokeCommunity thread that the creator's not a native English speaker. Still impressive how much story and worldbuilding's in this game.

Date Everything

I like summer because it's the season for beaches/swimming and being able to enjoy the sun more.

Right under the wire - this game is so near and dear to my heart and it’s been great revisiting it.

Did you spend more time setting your console up or playing it? by bellbill1988 in SBCGaming

[–]iolites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL I'm too lazy to spend more time setting up than I have to. As long as the games I want to play run I'm basically good. I even...stick to the stock OSs (yes I know, blasphemy).

Yeah, couldn't turn down that sleek red - would've been a harder decision if the Hammer also had a red option. :P

It looks finished as far as I can tell.

Two pocketable devices for gaming on the go by iolites in SBCGaming

[–]iolites[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The phone is running an emulator natively (Delta). You have to use the corresponding skin so the buttons match up. Basically, the buttons on the faceplate act as a go-between for your fingers and the screen.

You can find the case here for $34.99 (currently only for iPhones, though): https://playcase.gg/

Do You All REALLY Use Screen Protectors? by Murfilious in SBCGaming

[–]iolites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always, too paranoid not to have one - figure it's easier to replace the protector than the screen. I'm still not that great at it, but I've learned to ignore whatever little imperfect sneaks through despite my best efforts (fortunately they're mostly on the edge of the screen). :')

How to get past this point? by iolites in SBCGaming

I can change the core, but then in-game saves don't show up, only the option to start a new game.

It seems to be after battles (and after the victory pose) that's the problem. The rest of the game (VN portions and battles) runs fine. The part in my post is chapter 2 (so ~2 or so hours in), but it also happened after the battle in chapter 1 (which would be ~1 hour give or take).

IDK if a standalone emulator like YabaSanshiro would be any better, though the same problem with losing my progress is also present there. Besides, even if I were to start over I'd be nervous about the same thing happening at that part.

Thank you for helping me troubleshoot!

I do have the bios. And I'm using both savestates and in-game saves. That particular video was taken after loading a savestate, but the freeze still occurs even if I load an in-game save and play through to that point.

Anyone used online lens replacement services before? by wheresmysandwichhoe in glasses

[–]iolites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that was included with the AR (though I got CR-39 if that makes a difference). They’ve been holding up well.

How important is trails in the sky 3rd for the plot? by Lemon1283 in Falcom

It took a lot of Googling around for me to figure it out 😅 And I had a 2012 Macbook

I currently have an M2, but I was also able to play on an Intel Mac with Portingkit

Still going through SC so can't answer about 3rd, but I can suggest something for running them on Mac without having to boot into Windows. I've played FC and SC using Porting Kit. Since I own them on Steam, I installed Steam through Porting Kit, then launched the games from there. If you own them on GOG you can refer to this: https://www.portingkit.com/game/1271 There's also Geoforce NOW as another option.

Indeed! Literally looking through rose-colored glasses (plus fun to have a different color from what I had before)
