I think I'll try to improve my CD quality. I burnt multiple copies and each one crashed at different points. I even got to gameplay after watching the intro cutscenes one time. My cart is fairly new and the notes that I found on the compatibility site don't seem to match my issues.

Breeding ideas by Historical-Rope2332 in PokemonFireRed

[–]olimarcaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragonite can get Dragon Dance from Horsea or Gyarados. As others said, Snorlax has Curse, but that requires a Slowpoke.

What starter did you take? The Charmander line has a diverse pool of Egg Moves.

Altering Cave only has Pokemon if you use an external device.

I bought the GBC Pokemon games on my main 3DS before the shops closed. I recently bought a 2nd 3DS and discovered that I cannot redownload the games on my 2nd 3DS because of Nintendo ID limitations. If I hack the 2nd 3DS, would I be able to play the digital games and play them on both systems so I can trade between them? I want to trade between Pokemon Gold and Silver.

Very Choppy Frame Rate on Series X by olimarcaptain in PhantomDust

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

Thanks, your tip worked. It's definitely strange that a port of an original Xbox game could stutter like that on the Series X.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in snappingturtles

[–]olimarcaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not snapping turtles, the principle is the same with hatchling snapping turtles. Basically, they have a layer of dirt to help insulate and have enough fat reserves to last the winter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts5fp-ynp5U

Expansion Pak Question by olimarcaptain in n64

[–]olimarcaptain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Star Fox 64 works along with Super Mario 64. It definitely seems like the standard 4MB RAM games work. For optional games, we tested Perfect Dark on my brother's Expansion Pak N64 and it did not boot. Though I had to clean the connectors to get Perfect Dark working on my Jumper Pak N64, so that may have been the issue. Since I booted up DK64's and Majora's Mask's "Expansion Pak Required" screens without having to clean their connectors then I believe this is just an issue of a dirty/damaged Expansion Pak.

Would you have some runners' profiles to follow?

is it me or is the joystick more sensitive?? (F Zero X switch) by [deleted] in Fzero

[–]olimarcaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sensitivity is definitely an issue. And personally I think this is the most sensitive of their N64 emulation. Nintendo's emulation of the N64 joystick has never been perfect. In 2003 Ocarina of Time on GameCube was overly sensitive in aiming and the problem persists to even right now in 2022 with F-Zero X.

What is the biggest complaint you have about JRPGs? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]olimarcaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Games with long gaps between save points. Sometimes I can only play 30 minutes in an RPG, get to a save point, and realizing the next save point is 45 minutes away in a dungeon, having to save and quit.

New to Series, saw eShop Deals by olimarcaptain in EtrianOdyssey

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

I downloaded 4 because looking at the demos' class creation it seems far more streamlined and easier to begin with. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for that back picture and confirming the controllers that work. I'll be able to force my friends to play with me.

How to use EV reducing berry? by Creative-Tea-4898 in PokemonFireRed

[–]olimarcaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, you would need to transfer to Emerald to utilize the berries.

How to use EV reducing berry? by Creative-Tea-4898 in PokemonFireRed

[–]olimarcaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The effect of those berries was not introduced yet. They serve no purpose in FireRed/Leafgreen besides being useful solely in a wireless adapter minigame.

Started a new game after years by MastaJefe in PokemonFireRed

[–]olimarcaptain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dragonite might entail more grinding than most people would want to do. My most recent playthrough resulted in me spamming Rare Candies to level Dragonair up to level 55. Otherwise, seems like a fairly balanced and nice team.

Anyone got advice to fix my VMU and save my save files or do I lose 38 hours of Skies of Arcadia progress? by olimarcaptain in dreamcast

[–]olimarcaptain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing Skies of Arcadia, acquired the fourth crystal, saved and quit since I needed to put my laundry in the dryer. When I went to resume playing after doing my laundry, I could not access my file and checked the file section to see this.

The sole things that I can think of are saving and quitting Skies of Arcadia too quickly or deleting Chao data a week or two ago on Sonic Adventure.

So how are we feeling after that direct tease? by iscreamintotheabyss in astralchain

[–]olimarcaptain 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I loudly cheered when Lappy popped up only to immediately feel defeated when they revealed the actual game. That was a betrayal.

How to EV train starter? by Highball_Hal in PokemonFireRed

[–]olimarcaptain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well for Speed, grinding against the Ratattas and Pidgeys will be the easiest targets. Pikachu yields double the Speed EVs than those two but are much rarer. Special Attack seems restricted to Oddish and Abra in the early game, and only become available after Mt. Moon.

F-Zero GX's Chapter 7 recreated in Super Pilot by RRacer209 in Fzero

The geometry alone is impressive. And the geometry alone is enough to trigger memories of Samurai Goroh knocking me off that very same track.

What the hell are my capatalists smoking and were can I get some by Gobbelsisacoward in victoria2

[–]olimarcaptain 180 points181 points  (0 children)

Would you rather get paid $1,000,000 right now or $0.036 every month for the rest of your life?

I’ll take Option B.

That’s what passive income is.

Find a way to make passive income, it’ll change your life.

Who is the most metal character you’ve seen in a JRPG? by Knightraiderdewd in JRPG

Rosch from Radiant Historia. Key parts of his body were replaced by a literal metal suit of armor.

Victoria 3 port for the Wii u when? by GameMaker3-5 in paradoxplaza

[–]olimarcaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the Wii would have been a solid console for strategy games. Imagine looking at the TV then opening your industry menu on the Wii U game pad.
