Best

What are the best (top ten) RPG's that work perfectly on the GP2X? Same for adventure?

EDIT: Sorry for being an ass

Final Fantasy Adventure seens to run perfect in GNUboy.

 

[nickspoon]

Phantasy Star!
Zelda!

Nothing works perfectly through emulation. Not even on a PC.

I play a lot of RPGs on my gp2x, but none of them run perfectly, sorry.

...With this opinion, _really_ nothing is perfect. Now don't be like that and tell him some good rpg's..

For myself, I like:

Soleil ( Megadrive )
All the Zelda games ( Nes, Snes, Gbc ( the oracles ) )
Final Fantasy Series ( Nes )
Terranigma (Snes)

I don't really play rpg's, I'm sorry, can't tell anymore.

RPGs that seem to run perfectly include:

Zelda, a Link to the Past (SNESgp2x)
Shining Force (DrMD)
Shining Force 2 (DrMD)
Ys 3 (DrMD)
Ultima 7 (both parts)(Exult engine)

Currently I am playing Final Fantasy VI Gold (SNESgp2x) but it's slowwwwwww but working perfectly. I've tried the hack version and the speed returns but the graphics corrupt horribly.

Actually, they are "perfect" when they are played on the original machines, because that is what you're trying to emulate. However, I understand what you mean...

Nothing works perfectly through emulation. Not even on a PC.

Stop being so goddamn cynical.

Sorry for being cynical, I just got back from hell

Ok, so here's my list of GOOD RPGs that are PLAYABLE on the gp2x:
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 4
Final Fantasy 6
Phantasy Star 4
Pokemon (if you're into that)
Shining Force
Shining Force 2
...
There are a lot more, but I'm not thinking very clearly right now...

EDIT: if you're really worried about performance, just play the gameboy and genesis/megadrive games as they work the best

As a matter of fact, since your sensory organs aren't perfect either, there comes a level where you can't tell if the emulation is perfect or not, so it *seems* perfect to a person.

Stupid remarks aside, I think the Phantasy Star series run very well on DrMd (Genesis emulator). As for adventures, I recommend any of the Lucas Arts games, which you can play using ScummVm. Specially good ones are The Dig and Full Throttle.

Final Fantasy(NES, SNES, GBC-except ps1+)
Chrono Trigger(SNES)
Legend of Zelda(NES, SNES, GBC-except 2nd NES game)
Dragon Warrior(I&II and III for GBC)
a lot more

Have fun!!!!!

Breath of Fire 2 for GBA... wait... um...

Scratch that, Forget my stupidity in my post.

 

[Draken]

1) Final Fantasy 6 (SNES)
2) Lufia 2 (SNES)
3) Chrono Trigger (SNES)
4) Lufia 1 (SNES)
5) Final Fantasy 4 (SNES)
6) Phantasy Star 4 (GENESIS)
7) Terranigma (SNES)
8) Landstalker (GENESIS)
9) Shining Force (GENESIS))
10) Tales of Phantasia (SNES) <- Is this one playable?

Other good winners:

Breath of Fire
Earthbound (also known as Mother 2)
Dragon Quest IV
Final Fantasy 5

If you're into good stories, especially go for Final Fantasy 6 and Lufia 2 (Lufia 2 is a kind of boring game overal, but once you finished it...), I'm a sucker for plot stories, and these two are IMO the best storywise rpg's for snes.

Oh yeah, Legend of Zelda series is a great adventure series, can't name any other names, not so familiar with the genre overal.

Hey, thanks everyone.


I love how it's all akward when people mention they like the Pokemon games....I think we all need to admit that the <i>card</i> games are gay but the Gameboy games while repetitive are actually fun...

Thanks for understanding what I meant by perfect.

 

[Paradox]

golden sun 1/2 for GBA


after playing 1 pokemon game you've practically played them all, theyre all very similar.

i rmember i used to know all the original 150 off by heart..and then they went and ruined it and added like 300 more stupid pokemon with names hard to remember.. =(

they just milked it too much and killed it, silly nintendo

 

[EvilAlex]

Beyond Oasis (megadrive) is a cool zelda like game with street fighter moves... fw, back, fw does a special attack, a 360 does a other one. It has cool feature!

Pokemon TCG for the GBC is a good game. Undeniably. Hmpf.

I was just about to mention that. It also runs at 60fps with sound in DrMD!

I'd recommend scouring some SNES translation sites (e.g. http://www.romhacking.net/trans/ ) to patch some great Japanese RPGs into English.

Some cool ones I can think of: Neugier, Bahamut Lagoon, Romancing Saga 3, Seiekn Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2), Treasure Hunter G, Ys4, Dual Orb, FEDA, Dragon Quest 1/2/5/6, Live a Live, Monstania, Treasure of Rudora, Fire Emblem 4, Gulliver's Travels, Gunman Proof.

As many of these were later releases for the SNES, they are some of the highest quality RPGs you will find.

 

[Claym99]

whats the diffrence between Ys 3 for the SNES and Ys 3 for the PSX?

 

[Draken]

Most probably the psx version is more polished but the snes version more playable.

 

[tshroom]

The triple triad game will hopefully be a pretty awesome original rpg for the 2x.

You have all mentioned alot of great RPGs, but a good one that was missed is Dragon Quest Monsters for GBC. It is a mix between pokemon and dragon quest. very fun and awesome.
