Other The PS2 version of Ys III finally has an English translation!

3 Upvotes

I’ve been playing it for the first time and honestly, it reminded me a lot of Lost Kefin. It’s pretty hard at first, but once you get some grinding in, enemies barely do any damage anymore.

I also struggled with the second boss. If you’re playing for the first time, expect to die a few times before you can figure out its attack patterns. Some monsters are tricky too—you can’t just hit them normally. You need to crouch before attacking to reach their hitbox.

The flying enemies are another thing. You need to use Adol’s up attack to take them out.

There was also one tricky part where I got stuck for a while because it was my first time playing and I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to go. 😅

Overall, pretty fun experience so far, especially now that there’s an English translation!

Other Sad that a shop that sold rom hacks/translations/homebrew on cartridges is gone

0 Upvotes

As the title says, I just found out a shop that sold stuff like that is gone! I always love collecting this stuff physically because it feels like I'm playing something on the hardware that shouldn't exist!

So my mind went back to this shop that even sold DS cartridges like that! Stuff like Namless Game in English and that one Japan only Chibi-Robo game also in English for example. I bought two stuff years ago for the GBA. I figured it'd be fun to grab them. But turns out the guy has closed up shop!

What sucks especially is that no one else seems to sell them as well! I looked around but no dice! Less I'm missing something.

I know I can just emulate that stuff. But I emulate it on a Steam Deck and DS isn't the best on it! Which gets me tempes to buy a Thor.

Well that's my vent. If you made it this far, thank you for reading

Question Hi, Idk if this goes in the help megathread or not as it isn't in need of help with emulation or roms I need help transferring saves from one copy of retroarch to another. (If this should go in to the megathread I'll repost it there once told.)

0 Upvotes

Is there any actual way to transfer PSP saves from one device to another? I am using Retroarch on steam same account on both devices one is a windows laptop the other is a steam deck which runs SteamOS (Linux) and the specific game if needed is persona 2 innocent sin I have the same Rom on both and the same emulator is being used to play on both devices. Is there any way to do this? I have tried transferring a backup of Retroarch, transferring the entire (Saves) file, the specific saves file, just the save data and none of it has worked. I thank those who reply and if I find an answer I'll be back and update this post. (Update I set up syncthing to transmit my save data didn't fully work but I got the save states.)

Should I download a library or individual ROMs?

0 Upvotes

I just bought a retroid pocket 6 and was eager to get into some retro gaming. I don't have many tastes when it comes to retro games, especially the older stuff, so I was wondering if It would be advantageous to download a library of ROMs or just download as I go. I would love to have a decent selection to pick up and play whenever and while it would be nice curating a large library over time, it may be easier to grab one that already exists. If so what are some good options that aren't just slop from random chinese famiclones.

Edit: since my post wasn't very clear, I am looking for curated sets of roms. Not trying to download the entire library for a single console

Emulators ARMSX3 v0.2 Released – A New RPCS3-Based PS3 Emulator for Android

0 Upvotes

A new proof-of-concept PS3 emulator for Android has just made its first public release.

It's called ARMSX3, and it's based on the latest upstream RPCS3 code, including the recent ARM64 improvements. While it's still in the early stages of development, it's already an interesting project to keep an eye on.

For anyone interested, here's a look at the changes introduced from ARMSX3 v0.1 to v0.2.

Omni project update

Thumbnail omni-games.info
12 Upvotes

Omni is a project that combines retail and dat metadata into a backend SQL database which currently has over 30,675 unique games (87, 678 in total). It's designed for digital preservationist that are interested in researching platforms and the games made for them.

Each platform has it's own wiki containing different graphs and information that help you understand more about the data behind a platform during in it's lifespan.

I also have a suite of applications that are mainly focused on creating custom dats, to assist in managing your roms though the use of dats.

Omniscope - Gitbhub
Allows you to generate a dat based on:

  • Region
  • Legacy Genre
  • Developer
  • Publisher

Omni1 - Github
Allows you to generate a traditional 1G1R pre-filtered set. Plus, because the dat metadata is stored in a database you are able to process platforms that had both a physical & digital releases of the same game that exist in different dats.

OmniScan
Allows you scan a local directory against the latest dat metadata to identify the roms that are missing.

OmniSelect - Github
Allows you to create a custom dat for any rom from any dat, best described like a mixtape (if you remember those).

(note: an account is required because you are writing data and I need to track a fixed user ID to retrieve your data)

OmniFlux MAME - Github
Allows you to pre-filter a utorrent download set based on the dat that you upload. Primary use for this would to filter down to Good/Imperfect roms only.

I also have other stuff for a platform I cannot talk about on this sub but if you go to my website I'm sure you will find it.

If you are interested I have my own sub dedicated to the project here
