i love proudly displaying my emulators on my taskbar (this is not all of them)

[local-hyena]

I'm playing Castlevania Aria of Sorrow rn and.. the PROCESS I go through to play it is quite funny.

Allow me to elaborate :

I have 4 gba games on my 3DS : Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, Klonoa Empire of Dreams, Jazz Jackrabbit and Danny Phantom the Ultimate Enemy. I use GBARunner2 to play them via TWiLight Menu++. When I try to launch Castlevania, the screen goes white and then nothing happens. This is the only game who has this issue. So my "solution" is to open another game, usually Klonoa cuz ut's my favorite of the other 3 games, and then switch the ROM manually. HOWEVER most of the time (always) I play at least one Klonoa level.

I looooove the level design !! They are basically micro-metroidvanias ! Puzzle platformer at its finest.

Anyways. The thriller of exploration. I love metroidvanias so much... I should play Metroid one day..

Getting back on GBARunner2, apart from this specific issue, I've never encountered any problem with it. Once the gale is running, I've never had any bugs or anything. I've had the chance to hold a GBA only once in my life, and it was to play Crash Bandicoot. So I do not know how Castlevania is supposed to feel like when olaying on the original hardware. But mGBA is alright to me. I know I could easily(?) inject the ROMs and all but that's not a process I'm willing to do because I'm lazy lmao. Maybe when I'll look more into gba games I'll inject them instead of emulating. But for now I'm focusing on the 3DS and DS. I still got many games to play ! 👍

Another in my occasional:

WTF is going on in the UK posts

Our Conservative Party (right wing mainstream) has come up with the great new slogan:

Make Britain Grow Again

Weirdly they’re promoting it with the hashtag MGBA which clearly doesn’t work:

First up—most people with a scintilla of sense regard “Make America Great Again” as a sort of horror provoking mantra of doom, rather than something to emulate

Secondly—get the fucking letters in the right order

I'm running into a weird as fuck issue trying to play Metroid Fusion AND Zero Mission on mGBA

I'm using a horipad-s and basically, I can't fire missiles. I set R to R and B to Y on my controller, but holding R and pressing Y, nothing happens. I can hold L and press Y to shoot diagonally, and, even fucking weirder, if I hold R, L, and then press B, I can fire missiles, but not if I'm holding only R and then press B. Sometimes I can fire a missile if I press the buttons on what feels like the same frame.

I thought this was an emulator issue so I downloaded VBA but I have the same exact issue there.

And I even booted up Super Metroid on Snes9x, and, there, I can hold R and shoot no problem. Feels like an emulator issue for sure but two different emulators?

This is also being played on a brand new, much more powerful computer to my old own, where I had none of these problems.

There is no evidence that Lucas Mother 3 can swim.

So ever since I played Mother 3 one thing that always stood out to me is the Sea Floor Dungeon.

It's notable for many reasons, but I always found it funny that, rather than taking a boat or even just swimming, the party just walks on the sea floor all the way to a small island. Then recently I started thinking, wait, can any of these guys swim?

I mean at the very least these guys can, this is a body of water large enough for a huge snake and a big ol' pile of bones, so there's no way they're not floating here.

The most common instances of seeing Lucas in water are these hot spring sections. It's not clear how deep these even go, they could all be only as deep as we see them, Lucas could just be standing in there and the spring is only deep enough for his head to poke out.

It's possible they ARE deeper, however. As Flint and other adult characters can stand in them with their heads still sticking out, though it's notable that pre-time skip Fuel pictured here has their head partially submerged. Lucas also gets submerged into a hot spring in Chapter 4, however here he's somewhat hunched over, so the true depth of the hot springs is still unclear.

While not a scene where Lucas is visibly in water, it's worth noting that in Chapter 1, no one ever specifically says they found the twins swimming down or up the river, they were just floating in it. Granted they likely were unconscious while this was happening, but I still wanted to include this for completion's sake.

Also there's the Hippo Reserve in the Empire Porky Building where Lucas is almost the same height as the hippos so I doubt the water is that deep here.

This is the last scene I wanted this point out here. This is an un-used scene of Lucas and Claus taking a dip in the water found in a scrapped Attract Mode sequence. It's notable cause this is the only scene in the entire game where Lucas is definitively shown SWIMMING, but it’s un-used, so does it even count? Is it even canon? I mean, technically not I suppose, but there's nothing in these Attract Mode scenes that contradicts anything from the main game. How should un-used and beta content factor into how we discuss these games? Mother 3 famously had a tumultuous development with tons of content gutted from it's story. Not all of it fits into the game we eventually got, but a lot of it still can fill in the blanks present in the main game. But none of this content is present in the main game, so have valuable is it in discussion? Is it wrong to dismiss these removed scenes and subplots because they were part of the team's original vision? How should we continue to analyze this game's development if, for all intents and purposes, we're looking at un-finished and un-refined versions of the final art piece? Is it a more pure version of the art by being un-sullied by creative and hardware restrictions, or does that un-finished nature make it less deserving of analysis? I mean realistically I don't think any of what I've said should devalue Earthbound 64 or any other work in progress versions of art. Seeing the process of creation unfold is just as interesting and worth preservation and analysis as the finalized art itself. I don't think it's wrong to bring in elements from Earthbound 64 for headcanons or to fill in the gaps of Mother 3's story, hell it's damn near necessary sometimes it feels like, I just think it's important to acknowledge that changes and revisions are just a given in any story based medium. It's not always an artist's intent getting neutered, sometimes an artist might just change their mind, or need to have certain ideas reeled back in for the sake of keeping the work cohesive. Anyways what was this post about? Oh yeah Lucas probably can swim he just is never seen doing it in the final game.

i think every emulator should have a "yank game pack" option and i think it should be placed right next to the option to shutdown the game you're playing

Fuck Nintendo here how to emulate every FE game pre-Switch :

FE1-2 : https://www.mesen.ca/ for the NES emulator, https://www.romhacking.net/translations/6087/ FE1 EN fantranslation, https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/97653-fe-gaiden-updated-namesfont-patch/ FE2 fantranslation It the NES, your computer can emulate it trust me

FE3-4-5 https://www.snes9x.com/ for the SNES emulator https://www.romhacking.net/games/303/, for the FE3 fantranslation (note that it use the European names) https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/63676-fe4-translation-patch-open-beta-v7/ for the FE4 fantranslation, https://feuniverse.us/t/fe4-complete-fire-emblem-genealogy-of-the-holy-war-spanish-translation/27551 for the spanish fan translation https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/90189-fe5-lil-manster-%E2%80%93-translation-and-quality-of-life-patch-for-thracia-776/, for the FE5 fantranslation. There is also a completed spanish version SNES9x was first released in 20th century, your computer can run it

FE6-7-8 https://mgba.io/ for the GBA emulator https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/41095-fe6-localization-patch-v121-full-localization-with-new-features-including-support-conversation-reader/ for the FE6 fantranslation You can run mgba trust me again

FE9-10 https://dolphin-emu.org/ for the Gamecube/Wii emulator Dolphin is more demanding (but still very resonable), especially if you want to run the games on higher resolution. I recommend checking out the recommend specs and trying it out on your machine

FE11-12 Either DeSmuME or MelonDS for the DS emulator. MelonDS run better but require firmware files https://github.com/R-YaTian/DSiEnhanced_Translation_Revision/tree/main/FE12 for the FE12 fantranslation

3DS games Citra was an accidental victim of Yuzu going down so your best bet is to grab it from one of it fork, like here https://github.com/PabloMK7/citra. It require a strong computer to run it, and my experience is that it doesn't run the FE games very well. Another option is to simply hack your 3DS if you have one

For obvious reason I can't link the roms themself but they are easy to find, like on a certain subreddit that start with R
