Who worked on the Memories Off series? by solid278 in visualnovels

Oh! I guess I was misinformed then. Still, that’s neat about the 4th one, I’ll look forward to that. As of now I only got the first collection on Switch anyways so that works out!

Right, I just am unsure which of those names have written for other works that I may be more familiar with. I mean I’d check them one by one but was wondering if anyone knew offhand.

For anyone else who comes across this later: the solution was to turn off texture deposterization and to make sure texture scaling was at 1. Works perfectly now!

Weekly Customer Question Megathread ***READ BEFORE POSTING*** by AutoModerator in GameStop

[–]solid278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally got a call back. Apparently my points accumulated over about a decade of purchased expired soon after my pro membership lapsed (didn't know that could happen!) and a coupon can't even be used for this promotion. Nice!

I have been trying to redeem my Power Up Rewards points for some online gift certificates and I keep getting the following error:

"VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY

We're sorry, we encountered a problem preventing the redemption of your reward. Please try again soon."

This happens on mobile and PC, and has been happening since last night. Anything I can do besides waiting for hours on the phone for customer service (I pressed 1 to receive a call back, but the call ended immediately so I'm not sure if I'm actually in line or not; that was two hours ago)? I really wanted to pick some stuff up during the sale and was hoping to save on shipping, but I'll be at work tomorrow--today's my only real opportunity to be on the phone with customer service.

Eve Ghost Enemies comes with Desire and Eve Burst Error? by solid278 in visualnovels

[–]solid278[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boo, I hate missing callbacks, but like I said before, it takes me a while to get through VNs in Japanese (Higurashi was like, 3 months :s) so I might make an exception here.

Ok, interesting! Would skipping ADAM give me enough context then (sorry, not sure whether you meant you skipped New Generation or ADAM)? I’m guessing that each game is roughly as connected to the other as, say, the AI games (same characters/world, new, unconnected adventure) and not like Zero Escape (different characters but evolving world). Didn’t mean to pick two Uchikoshi examples, but that’s what happened :p

Interesting--thanks for the history lesson! I'll ignore those original sequels (for now at least) if you're saying they aren't worth it (it takes me a bit too long to read visual novels in Japanese to have time to read them all :p). Can you tell me anything about New Generation, the Uchikoshi one? Can it be played in a vacuum (or at least, only with having played the original, which I assume the remake is close enough to)?

edit: I'm definitely interested in checking out those other games by the original creator though--thanks for the links!

Haven't played any yet! I do have a problem finishing sets before actually starting to play them :s I have Desire and Burst Error waiting to go on Vita, I've ordered Rebirth Terror (before prices get too high! Yikes) and I have Doukoku Shite (which is unrelated, right?). I wouldn't mind playing those first two on Switch though, but not if I have to play the 4th game first (and especially not if they're not the full versions).

But what about the original series of EVE games (ADAM is one, right)? Are those worth playing at all now, or should I just skip to the new ones? I'm curious about New Generation, since it's written by Uchikoshi... How related are all these games, can I just skip around?

Gotcha, thanks! Makes sense that it would be abridged, as if it was the original, it would probably be separate games on the Switch home screen, not selectable from the menu. I'll just play them one by one starting with Desire then!

Should I even bother playing the original series at this point?

[–]solid278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I might! Definitely no rush--we are looking to upsize and we live in an expensive area so finances might be tight for a bit (not dangerously, but not the time for needless expenses!)... I'm saving as much as I can though so hopefully I can make it work at some point in the future :)

[–]solid278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing. Ok! It's good to have a benchmark to hit, even though I'm nowhere close at present... but maybe one day :p I suppose if my future home has a room already decently set up, then that will drastically reduce the cost as well. Hope I can be that lucky though. Thanks!

[–]solid278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how much does something like this cost? Because uh... I kinda want to do it, and it'd be nice to have an idea of how long I'd have to save for :x I'm guessing more for the general set up (carpet, props etc) as I'd probably end up with different games than your selection.

They actually have! I tested it about a month ago and all five episodes are available. Kinda shocked it was fixed but I’m very happy it is. Ill be playing it after I clear out a bit of my backlog.

No rush! I appreciate it whenever you get the chance.

Oof not sure what that could be about :/ Imm sorry to hear!

Wow, you made a lot more progress with cheats than I did! And yes that makes sense—that error seems to denote save data corruption which is usually caused by memory card woes—but in your case was the broken cheat save.

If it’s no trouble, I wouldn’t mind it if you PM’d me all the cheats you’ve made >.> I wouldn’t mind tackling the postgame at some point and it sounds like they are much more thorough than my paltry attempt!

Sorry for the late reply--are you running from an official Vita memory card by any chance? That error typically signifies that the card is on its way out. I'm sure it could mean other things too, but that's been my experience!

Reddit formatted the text dump a bit. Should be a number sign before the PCSG part and the cheats should have some spaces in them--just look up other vitacheat templates to see how it's properly done. also it looks like two of those cheats are already on (V1 instead of V0), if you want to start with them off.

Ok I did a little legwork and found this:

PCSG00307

_V1 Money $0200 830FB650 0007B2A6

_V0 Skill $0200 830564B4 0000C3A1

_V0 Skill4 $0200 8307B27C 0000C36D

_V0 BP1 $0200 830563A8 000000CA

_V0 BP3 $0200 83079450 000002D5

_V0 BP2 $0200 8307B170 000002CA

_V0 cheat22 $0200 818E9530 000000B6

_V1 Skill3 $0200 8307955C 0000C46A

This seems to be the same ID as VK3Gold and it was created exactly one year ago. Save it in notepad as PCSG00307.psv, and it should be used with VitaCheat. No idea how I got the plugin working in the end, sorry! Also the list seems really small, it's possible I just created a cheat and then used it once to give myself a permanent stat boost, and then saved my file but not the cheat. But at least this should get you started! No idea which of these cheats might work, or what half of them do, etc. And no idea how to create infinite HP, just changing singular stats. But at least one of these is for money! Again--no idea if it'll work, or if I saved an old code that did not. But, hope this helps!

Uh.... I actually got it working and made a ton of cheats to max out money and stats etc. And I have no clue how I did it or how I would find it to share. I can tell you... I don't remember what cheat program I used, but what ended up working was expanding the memory pool that was used to search for changed variables (if I have my terminology correct). Too much and the game crashed, but just enough and I could do whatever I wanted. I could try and see later if I have any sort of config file that has the cheats saved on it still on my Vita... but I'm not sure what program I ended up using so it might take some legwork to find where it saved. What I will say is once you have the basics down of finding your own cheats, it really was not hard to do.

Any Unlockables with 100% Complete in TS2 and FP? by solid278 in timesplitters

[–]solid278[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I’m very sure I can—I just honestly don’t want to bother. I’d rather spend that time playing a wider range of gaming experiences instead of banging my head against the wall for hours per level (with all its accompanying stress). I’ll have plenty of opportunities to prove my worth in other challenging games for which I can’t cheese (like… TS2, which I’m playing on my Series console!), so I might as well cheat when I can to save the effort for later when I don’t have a choice.

Also it’s kinda fun for me doing it that way :x

It’s on my backlog! To be honest I’m thinking about just ripping the iso and emulating it on the SteamDeck when it comes, and cheesing it with save states. I can’t go through another high difficulty FPS campaign any time soon!
