Yeah, learned it when I was on SA earlier.

Doesn't solve my Wii U problem though.

[ViperAcidZX]

I'm very surprised if it wasn't.

It's been years, but I loved it on both Gamecube and X360.

I have Wii Edition. Even without the touched graphics of the 360/PS3 versions, it's still one of my favorites after all these years of playing the GameCube version.

I'm playing the shitty PC port.
Granted it's modded unshittified PC port.
But I'm not coming near KB&M settings. Even if I suck at aiming with a controller.

I"m still trying to figure out how to add mods the PC version to fix the graphics... I'm surprised Capcom hasn't ported the HD version on Steam or something.

[VixyNyan]

well yes I have Wii version too because collecting and playing ISO on Wii is so easy and convenient.

[Police Girl]

Pfft, Dolphin looks better.

Can't get SMG 1 or 2 to run at full speed, but Kirby runs perfectly.

[VixyNyan]

If I upgrade to a newer PC I could give Dolphin a try. I like the full speed and smoothness of playing on actual wii hardware and live streaming. My laptop is 5+ years old and not so strong. Single core 1.7 Ghz Intel, 1 GB RAM, some weird family mobility GFX card. Its not that ideal anymore and sometimes the screen turns black or the screen flickers and makes it hard to use it at all. I used to stream at 320x240 @ 30 fps without framedrops but now even 3DS streams might be too process-intensive  because xsplit eats too much RAM power and stuff.

While games do look better in Dolphin they take far more processing power than they should.

Anyway, class is boring as [tornado fang].

Seriously, time seems to just die. I feel like I've been here for more than an hour.

Must only be in class on certain days.

Are thinking of getting a desktop? I might know of a guy on YouTube who could help on getting the right parts to set up a more powerful PC that won't burn out so quickly. Plus he uploaded a series of videos for low-spec PC games for those that can't play graphically-demanding stuff like Borderlands or Fallout 3. My brother's PC does has problems with PS2 emulation, which I don't get because it can run some of the recent games on PC at 60 FPS like Battlefield 3 (though that's what my brother plays on his PC) no problem yet it can't play Z.O.E 2nd Runner on PCSX2 for dear life without the frame-rate going under 10 FPS.

I still want my own desktop though. Wish my family could the house repairs sooner so we can leave this house and get my PC already so I can do things I want do but can't on my brother's PC...

[Police Girl]

Emulation is more processor intensive than playing natively programmed software.

For example, Batman Arkham City runs perfectly on my PC, whereas Ratchet and Clank, an early PS2 game, can't get over 40 or 30 fps, the sound is slow, and the graphics look like garbage unless the Graphic Plugin is in Software mode, which disables the ability to use custom resolutions. But on the flipside, Persona 4 runs almost perfectly in a custom resolution, only problems are the sound hiccuping when the framerate bounces above the... 59.94 limit (I don't get that PCSX2... why not 60?)

[Phi]

I'm in desperate need of a new desktop. My piece of junk can barely run Fallout.

[Police Girl]

Mine was a piece of [parasitic bomb] until last year.

Now I've got a sexy beast of a rig.

Should probably wipe the fans off again, there might be some dust.

[Phi]

I'm jelly. I need whatever you have.

Go and play .HACK G.U. on PCSX2.

Then we can hate Sakaki together.
I am in need of someone with whom I can share my hate.

[Police Girl]

It was $1500.

And you could probably get something better for the same price now.

I'll have to get it when I get home later.

Oddly enough, Virtual-ON: MARZ decently on my brother's rig though I'm trying to work out the kinks to get it running 60 FPS with decent video quality. At most, my brother's PC can emulate games within the PS1 era without too much hassle.

I'm in desperate need of a new desktop. My piece of junk can barely run Fallout.

The very first Fallout? I need to check how it run since I got the GOG.com version free that one time.

[Rin]

Fallout is that one game, I can't even bring myself to give a [parasitic bomb] about. Dunno why.

I'll have to get it when I get home later.

Ohhh. If you're going to play it on PCSX2, then two things.

Set the resolution to x2 native (or higher) if you want better resolution play and your rig can handle it.
Because if you set it custom, you'll have strange ghosting problem (you will know what I mean, if you'll try it).

Oh and, the MC DOES get better. Right now I'm still at the second game, but he's already made a huge improvement, especially near the end of the first game.

[Police Girl]

My rig is doing okay with P4 on my PC's native resolution (which is custom 1680 x 1050) so my PC could probably handle 2x or something like that.

I think I need a new monitor.

[ViperAcidZX]

I think I need a new monitor.

A bigger one? My brother's monitor is 1920x1080 though I wished I had something like this for my Xbox 360. Really want to see my games in 1080p and be able to read the damn text for once. Devs are so inconsiderate of those stuck with 4:3 CRT TV.

[Police Girl]

Oh god I did horrible on that quiz.

Thankfully its not too big of a deal.

Posted on: March 26, 2013, 01:16:08 PMWelp, class is pretty much over.

Gotta go to the store soon, also have to get gas, maybe some lunch too.

[ViperAcidZX]

Ugh, can't get over how I responed earlier about traps; I wanted to sound like I was joking but it came out wrong.

[Police Girl]

My god i'm bored.

[Burst]

Relax, it's only the internet.

[Sakura Leic]

Okay, there's been a naughty cat leaving half-eaten turtle dove carcasses in our drive way. I believe this is the third carcass so far, and I think I've already found our prime suspect.

That just sounds gross, I don't think I've even seen a turtle dove.

[Mr. Haxwell]

That just sounds gross, I don't think I've even seen a turtle dove.

It's one of these. And these usually drive my mother up the wall when she finds one dead in the drive way, since she's a bit of a clean freak.

[Sakura Leic]

Oh those things, I think I see them a lot in Swap Meets.

[Police Girl]

I should start dinner soon.
