wow, the psp port of kof orochi saga is an atrocity

[ananus]

1. 5 second loadtimes between each round
2. slowdown after some attacks (complete string of kyo's qcf + a in kof 97, for example)
3. using the home button to pause the game doesn't stop the cpu from hitting you. wtf
4. in kof 98, heidern is all glitched out. i dunno if it's only him and if it happens on every stage since i saw it while i fought against his team, but i do know that in this one stage it happened more than once.
5. game asks you to save after every little thing. might be able to deactivate it in the options menu, i dunno.
6. music occasionally stops playing in kof 97.

even though i didn't buy it, i still feel ripped off since the whole download was 1 gb and all the roms would be like 300 mbs without any of these issues.

Don't really see the need for this port as the NeoGeo emulator on the system already performs admirably.

I have heard the PS2 version has issues too.  They fucked it up but it is not a surprise because this is SNK USA.  I read that they didn't just take the Japanese Orochi Collection and add in '94 and '98, but started from scratch and just did a shit-tastic port job.  This is why I do not support them and always buy the Japanese versions, never mind that it takes them WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too long to brings these out in English, they always fuck them up somehow.  I heard the English versions of NGBC and KOF XI are missing progressive scan mode, WTF?

This is why I say if you want that Samurai Shodown collection, go ahead and import the Japanese version (or wait for the PSP version of Tenka).  I guarantee you the "English exclusive" SS5 Special will be all kinds of jacked up.

It's, you know, for the people who buy stuff LEGITIMATELY.  It's just too bad they fucked it up so badly, lolz.

has there been a good kof on psp yet?

This is the only KOF on PSP.

Of course with CFW you can play KOF '94-2003 perfectly emulated.

I would have much rather have seen them port '94 Re-Bout and even more so '98 Ultimate Match than this crappy compilation.  But whatever, I'm waiting for 2002 Unlimited Match and XII now.

[MrAngryFace]

nah, ill just hope one day they get it right for an official release. I mean if GGXX can be on PSP im pretty sure they could manage a PSP release of a KoF game

[bork]

If SNK *JAPAN* does it, it will be fine.  I know they are making SS Tenkaichi Kenkakuden for PSP in Japan, so that will be GGXX quality good.  But the U.S. anthology version worries me.

With load times like that, it's like the Neo Geo CD all over again

Do they have the juggling monkey?

[Don Flamenco]

It won't sell, then SNK USA will whine about how they don't put any effort in to stuff because nobody buys it.  that and SNK Japan hates SNK USA or something.

nope, it just says loading...

i also forgot to add that the music occasionally stops playing in kof 97.
