Yeah, probably DC is the best version of that I think? Nice game.

of the original Gauntlet Legends, yeah. Dark Legacy on xbox/gc/ps2 is an expansion for that game. it's the same game but with a bunch more shit, so if you just wanted to play it and not bothering with a specific console maybe that version? I'm not sure of any balance changes or anything like that but if we're just talking playing a game with someone else on the dreamcast Legends rules and looks and plays better than it does on playstation 1

Gauntlet Legends is an odd case where the N64 version is probably the best version.

The DC version is most similar to a cut down port of the arcade version of Dark Legacy.

It's a bit complicated, you can refer to this turbo autist's comparison from 2008: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/gaun...-and-version-comparison.339131/#post-13254861

weird, I didn't even realize it was on 64. I played it at a friends house on ps1 but we bought the DC version at some point so I was mainly familiar with it and then Dark Legacy which my neighbor had for xbox years later. it always fascinates me when multiplat games were all essentially different, seems like so much extra effort on the devs part.

So why didn't he just get rid of the mod team? No website or community needs a kill squad of terminally online chickenshit troons with moderation powers more obsessed with anyone saying NIGGER than anything else and other petty shit while not taking their roles seriously.

I was digging through my old stuff, and found this from back a couple of decades ago when some German website was leaching my images, like hotlinking to mine on theirs instead of just downloading and reposting them, so I made special content just for them

Today is a historic day. I have finally gotten an A rank in level 3 of Paint Panic in Kirby Canvas Curse.

Canvas Curse isn't that difficult of a game. For 100% completion, you have to find all three medals in every stage, complete every stage with every character, complete multiple challenges for each stage, get a high score in the post-stage minigame, and finally, get an A rank in the highest difficulty of each of the three stylus-based subgames. Of those three, Block Attack is a breakout-style game that's not too bad. Cart Run is a Gourmet Race-style game that's also not too bad.

And then there's Paint Panic. The motherfucker to end all motherfuckers. You have to play connect-the-dots as quickly as you can, endlessly, only occasionally broken up by sections where you have to tap different parts of the screen in quick succession. Go too slow at any point and the bombs will catch up to you, skipping you to the next puzzle at the cost of some health which you can't get back. What makes this game brutal is how unforgiving the line detection is. If two dots are far apart, that's fine; just draw from point A to point B. But dots will often be extremely close to each other - I'm talking millimeters away - and your line can't deviate even the slightest or it'll count as a mess up. Every time you mess up, you lose a tiny bit of score and, more importantly, the bombs rush toward you for a split second. And as you progress, the patterns you have to trace change from basic shapes to sort-of-complicated figures to clusterfucks of tiny lines twisting in every way possible with no room for error. By the time you get anywhere close to an A rank, your arm is shaking from the rapid precise movements, which makes drawing straight lines even more difficult, which messes you up even more, which makes you more nervous and shaky, which makes you mess up even more.

I've owned this game for nineteen years. My last high score was in 2007. And I've finally done it. An A rank. 100% completion. And I didn't pause-scum at all. The only problem is that I did it on a N3DSXL which has a bigger screen than the tiny-ass DS screen this originally released for, but whatever, I'll take it.

Is there any way to play PSX games on PS2 using OPL or am I going to have to burn PS1 discs? Popstarter is a piece of shit and has low compatibility. I'd also prefer to have everything on a hard drive but I don't mind having to go about burning the PSX games that I want to have on disc, though I'm concerned about imports working with this method.

Burning discs is much more compatible, near perfect. But they don't just plain work with a FreeMcBoot setup.

What model PS2 do you use? Depending on which it is you can install MechaPwn and then any burned disc put in including import burns just work. If it's not compatible there is a homebrew utility you can use to launch backups or install a modchip.

SCPH-30001 R. I'm pretty sure it isn't compatible though so it's not the end of the world.

The FreeMcBoot has the utility to boot up burned games without problems. You can also boot them directly from the ulaunchelf UI.

I also suggest you to use re-writable discs to check for bad isos before burning them into regular DVDs.

Apparently I haven't touched FF7 since the 12th according to Duckstation and I keep wanting to force myself to launch it but I keep getting sidetracked by 3 random other unrelated games.

I'm not clicking that shit but it had better include the Game Boy Color ports of Dragon's Lair ( yes the full laserdisc), RE1, and Metal Slug

It's the 11th one of those he's done, so those could be in another video. These are the games in that vid:

Metal Slug 3 - Neo Geo
Road Rash - Gameboy
Street Fighter II Champion Edition - PC Engine
Batman Returns - Sega CD
The Adventures of Batman & Robin - Sega CD
Thunder Force IV / Lightening Force - Genesis
Soulcalibur III - PS2
Prehistorik Man - Gameboy
