Translation for Napple Tale for Dreamcast

Time to bust out DiscJuggler and burn me a Dreamcast game

http://www.romhacking.net/translations/5091/

Tested on Redream and Flycast (Retroarch). Runs fine, if the first ten minutes of textbox assault (including an excruciating tutorial on how to jump) are anything to go by.

Replayers dawt org has a cdi image which the included patcher accepts.

A few months back I mentioned my Xbox seemed to have crapped the bed. (And not long after I popped it open to take the capacitor out.) Was moving a bunch of stacked up junk to put away like a fan and shit, and saw it was still plugged in, so I randomly turned it on. Worked fine, even the softmod was still loaded and would boot a burned game. It was really hot when it "died" and the room it is in got real cold recently after a frost night. So I'm leaving it running a game (ESPN NFL 2K5 AI against itself) for a bit to see if the issue is maybe overheating related. Perhaps the fan isn't moving enough air anymore, I've had that happen to PC fans and I mean, that's what's all in the Xbox.

Probably will still grab another one off that there internets one of these days. Maybe for X-Mas.

A nearly 20 year old console for X-Mas.

That is awesome. Still got my copy of the game, and that Yoko Kanno score is pretty cool.

I hope you didn't get that i9 for gaming, seems incredible overkill for any game.
Otherwise, nice beast of a machine.

It's pretty cummy for high refresh rate gaming

How many FPS in Garfield Kart?

Bebpo · « **Reply #22926 on:** October 22, 2019, 01:07:30 AM »

Got my monitor and it's pretty crazy going to 1440p after being used to 1080p resolution for like 20 years. Everything looks so small and weird.

Anyhow I tried running games on my current rig on to 980s SLI and at 1440p and g-sync everything is stuttery as fuck since fps are like between 49-85fps on most stuff. At 1080p things are a lot of smoother but damn 1080p suddenly looks all blurry ;_; Hopefully the power boost in the new rig will get 1440p running smooth enough.

Bebpo · « **Reply #22927 on:** October 22, 2019, 02:05:47 AM »

Also this is my first monitor that can rotate. Pinball Arcade in portrait mode is pretty cool! Will try shmups portrait at some point. 27" portrait is almost too big though, can't see the whole screen if too close.

Bebpo · « **Reply #22928 on:** October 22, 2019, 02:32:50 AM »

Ok, got 165hz running better. Getting like 120fps in FF14 @ 1440p and looks hella nice.

Also 2d games look really nice in smoothness. This is cool.

you can have a xeon cpu and an RTX 2080TI, garf kart will still be between 20 to 30 frames at best. It's the price of using the latest and best graphic tech, just like crysis back in the day.

So turns out the black levels just kinda suck on IPS monitor, but apparently putting a $10 LED light behind it for bias lighting tricks your eyes into giving deeper/better blacks? So ordered a set of those and will check it out. I'm so used to good deep black level on all my devices/tvs that the lighter grey look is weirding me out.

That's why I went with a VA panel for mine, but the trade-off is slow pixel response on certain shades, leading to noticeable trailing. It's most obvious in a browser, funnily enough.

Can't have it all with current monitor technologies.

He's obviously not a total fool but he did spit out THREE THOUSAND WORDS on Untitled Goose Game which, let's be clear, no one will ever read. At some point it kinda circles back.

It's the kind of game you know you'd be into based on how you feel on the premise... like, playing as a goose and pissing people off is immediately appealing to me, there's a pro-Aboriginal message in the credits, the flat shaded graphics work well, and the game doesn't overstay its welcome. But if I have complaints it would be that some objectives have vague solutions, and others require waiting a bit too long for the right moment in the NPC routine. Also the random piano notes for the soundtrack doesn't fit, I feel something Benny Hill esque would've been better.

But Epic, the company giving moneyhats to everyone making sure their games are bought from their store, giving some cash to HumbleBundle to make sure they sell EGS copies of RDR2, impossible? A conspiracy?

Meh, does it really matter when games come out? I get story games where the last one left you hanging and you want to know what happens next, but otherwise it’s like there’s way too many good games to play already. Games can take whatever time they need.

Division 2 was really fun for me, until the gear score shit (though i guess that's more of a fault of the GaaS genre), certainly better than 1.
Breakpoint looked and played like a broken version of Wildlands, so i don't know what the fuck they were expecting.

Anyway, this is a good thing, Legion has a lot of potential, and it'd be a shame to fuck it up because they want to just ship it out broken.

In general, it seems like after Assassin's Creed Unity's flop, they had learned their lesson, then after the successes following that lesson, they immediately forgot about it, and started shipping broken games again.
