@Folly What do they do?
As far as I remember. You get special weapons.
-
@Folly That's what I meant with subsystems. Sorry, I should have been more specific.
I wonder if there's a way down the line to update the documrntation with all this information? -
@Zering I got Neural Gear working! It's mouse control. Change the setting in Options from Joystick to Mouse and then click on the Menu and you're away!
Edit: the question of whether it was worth the struggle is still to be answered.
@Folly I got the games you mentioned, I was catching some rice balls in Konami Collection this morning!
-
@AdamBeGood Oh well done! Did you try After Burner II to see if the issue was the same?

I didn't, I haven't got that one yet. Let me know!
-
@AdamBeGood No luck with either.

Weird, I just tried AfterBurner II and it worked for me. You've changed the setting in Options?
-
@AdamBeGood ...I forgot to turn my mouse on.
Retrying now. ^^
Edit : Yup, Neural Gear works now. Is it not very good or is it just Me?

I am not sure, it didn't seem amazing but maybe it was a matter of getting used to the controls. I'll give it more time!
Also, when @Folly said -
MSX2:
Salamander : The super nemesisIs that an official release or a patched version of MSX Salamander... I have only found the latter so far.
-
@AdamBeGood There is an official MSX1 release of Salamander, I think Folly called it super Nemesis because it borrows a lot of gameplay elements from that series.

I thought he might have put it under MSX2 because of this: https://www.msx.org/news/software/en/konamis-salamander-pimped-up
I've downloaded the patch now and it works fine. I haven't played the original enough to tell too much difference though.
-
Well, I'm mobile. Cannot react as i would like.
Always tought that Salamander was an MSX2 game. Indeed that "super nemesis" was just an expression of mine. Nice to know there is a patch. Will try that when I can.
I will edit the "summarized disk add for the pc-88" when I am behind my pi4.
Was doing this out of my head. -
@Zering said in Old Japanese Computer Appreciation Thread:
@Folly The PC88 has this really strange game called Wibarm that is worth a look. Otherwise, Dragon Slayer 1 and 2 are fun!
On the PC98 I can't recommend Rude Breaker enough. Flame Zapper Kotsujin and Rusty are also very good.I'm going to sort out PC98 tomorrow. You've convinced me.
-
@AdamBeGood Good luck! The NEC PCs are among the trickiest to set up on RetroPie in my opinion. I still haven't figured out what's wrong with my PC98. I expect I'll have to un-install and re-install it and start fresh...
Just be aware that although there are great games on the PC98 it's mostly known for games of an erotic nature ^^ -
Back on the PI4.
This is a better doc for lr-quasi88 :
https://docs.libretro.com/library/quasi88/Perhaps we can borrow some info.
Tried with an .m3u file (it works)
(.m3u has to be lower-case, otherwise it will ask, how many files, and go into "basic")
I will take Wibarm as an example :
Make a text file (in this case: Wibarm.m3u) with the following content :Wibarm.d88 Wibarm (User disk).d88If you run this .m3u it will run, ok, directly.
This is the manual way (2 disk example) :
Start, for example, first disk to run the emulator.
(If configured, you can also use the joystick)- Press "F1"
- Press "z"(back)
- Select, with "x"(forward), "Subsystems"
- Select, with "x", "Load 2-Disk Game"
- Select, with "x", the first disk file
- Select, with "x", "Subsystems"
- Select, with "x", "Load 2-Disk Game"
- Select, with "x", the second disk file
- Select, with "x", "Subsystems"
- Select, with "x", "Start 2-Disk Game"
-
@Folly Just out of curiosity, is there any software that can automatically generate .m3u files?
-

You have to be fast !!! How many levels ?
When I first got this game. I could go five or six levels I think.
How further you go, it becomes dark, later it will lighten up again. -

You can just use a text editor.
Don't know if there are automated m3u generators.
Perhaps I can make something.
Well, it all depends on how the files are organized.
-
@Folly The reason I'm asking is I don't see myself doing it manually for +5000 games ^^

Ofcourse, I get it.
Well, I will try some things.Perhaps someone already did something like that.
We can see in the forums or on github.
