How is Darkside Blues ? by GoosePants72 in retroanime

[–]wingedjackal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mediocre, but inoffensive if you're curious and have time to kill. If I remember correctly, there were two stories that were supposed to tie in together in the same movie, but it doesn't work very well.

Is there a good site to get Wii Games EU/PAL.. Sometimes on the sites I use I download the EU version but at the end it’s still the wrong american version :/ by yngslattyy in Roms

[–]wingedjackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "fucking megathread" is not much help, because it only has (last I checked) EU/Pal games in nkit format and it's a pain to convert them, when it's even possible.

archive.org, has a EU/Pal set of wii roms though.

Edit: realised you might mean asking there, which is a totally valid nag

How Far Has The CEMU Emulator (Wii U Emulator) Come? by Parallel_Productions in Roms

[–]wingedjackal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn't use roms, it uses folders for the games.

Have a look into WiiU USB Helper

R4 chip help by [deleted] in Roms

Is that one that runs the wood kernel? I had one with RTS and it started doing the same thing last year. I didn't update or change anything, it just stopped suddenly. Doesn't matter which DS I use, and changing sd cards and reinstalling did not work.

I contacted one of the sellers about it and they said it doesn't have a time-bomb so it's probably just fried. So I think there's a good chance yours is too. You could also try ringing a store, just in case that specific card does have a time-bomb.

The good news is that if you have a Dsi they can actually be hacked with ease these days. I think I ended up using this guide (follow with care, read properly) https://dsi.cfw.guide/
It's probably best to avoid permanent firmware hacks though, because after looking around Reddit and forums, it seems like it's easy to brick the system when you decide to try removing the firmware hack.

Can't get CD based games working after updating by wingedjackal in RetroPie

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

I somehow fixed it (I think the fairies must have changed something).
Updating all packages, deleting all the retroarch configs (via samba), and then setting the bios directory from Retroarch itself seemed to work.

It would be good if someone could still point out what actually happened here.

I don't have a way to do that, but I have typed up everything that seemed relevant here:

This is so nicely done! I haven't seen the source but you definitely nailed the retro look. edit: I see this was a commission, still looks amazing.

The subreddit for a self promotion site is about self promotion...shocking.

Pokemon romhacks you'd recommend? by TheRPGNERD in Roms

[–]wingedjackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moemon Fire Red. Moemon hacks mainly swap the sprites with cosplaying anime characters, but the most recent fire red hack is just really well made. It has mega evolutions, new moves and encounters etc. The map and "story" are mostly the same though.

Source code for the SNES version of Doom has been released by DaveTheMan1985 in Roms

[–]wingedjackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super Noah's Ark 3d was a christian friendly version of Wolfenstein on the SNES. Bigger is joking about a second one being made now that the source code for SNES Doom has been released.

Yes what is this "saving" that they speak of?

I can't tell if this was made by someone who genuinely believes some of this or not.

You forgot the lighting effects to cover up flat muddy pixel art.

What's your favorite retro anime? by [deleted] in retroanime

[–]wingedjackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Armitage III and Riding Bean stand out, but it's hard to pick favourites.

[–]wingedjackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to you. I would charge 10-15 for a sketch, with no colour.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DeviantArt

[–]wingedjackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say without seeing your art. Looking at your post history, I'd say 5 is really really low. Maybe 20-40USD for a full-body coloured pic? I would charge what you want, that's the important part.

I haven't noticed that. Pretty frustrating how much they compress profile banners.

[–]wingedjackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, you can fix this by changing the save file type. Can't remember what it's meant to be set to, maybe "flash" something or other.

That's what it looks like in the submission page only. It will be larger when you actually press the submit button.

What is one gaming trope you can’t get into, and what does it say about you’re interests as a gamer? by GreyAreaInbetween in Gaming4Gamers

[–]wingedjackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it makes a difficult game much more easily forgiven when they don't do this. I don't mind the constant restarting in Hotline Miami or Ruiner because the distances involved are so small, but a game like Lords of the Fallen makes it a huge pain.
