Road Trip!

[Claym99]

Alright, so I'm going on a road trip right after schools out and there will be quite a few over-9-hour days. And I need to get some games for the trip. Help? I love RPG's but only certain ones. It cannot be 1st person. You can't believe how much that bug's me in an RPG. First-Person shooters are nice though. And uhm...that's it.

There's plenty of great RPGs in the realm of the SNES. Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy, etc.

Make sure you bring a bunch of extra batteries!

Ultima 7
Any of the above mentioned SNES RPGs
Doom I and II
Duke Nukem 3D
Phantasy star

 

[Claym99]

Oh, and I was hoping that they'd all be extremely playable( as in no problems whatsoever.)

 

[Shikaku]

Megadrive/Genesis:

Crusader of Centy/Soleil
Phantasy Star Series

Duke Nukem 3D will last you awhile.
It's going to be the first thing I load on my brand new MKII GP2X with 4GB SD card that i'll get in <1 week!

 

[PSyMastR]

Earthbound (Mother) series for NES/SNES.

Does anyone know why super mario rpg doesn't work on the snes emulator?

 

[gaterooze]

Gameboy has a ton of great RPGs -- Zelda series, Final Fantasy series, Pokemon series, Dragon Warrior series, Harvest Moon, Crystalis, and a bunch more I haven't played (including some neat newly-translated ones).

 

[lintsniffer]

If I were you, I'd try to beat both Red and Blue version during the trip. I love those games.

ahh the memories of third grade...

Earthbound (Mother) series for NES/SNES.

I believe its some issue with Mode 7 (the pseudo 3D stuff for the SNES)

At least thats what I heard somewhere...

I recall someone saying it's like the only game that wont run at all on any emu or something, which makes sense, as I have tried it as well around 4 times to no avail

hey but I own it afterall so no loss

 

[lintsniffer]

actually daclassicgamingmaster,
I've run it on PC snes emulators (snes9x)

I believe the GP2X just can't support the Mode 7/system intensity.

It worked on NightKnight's SNES emu, and it works fine on my computer.

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

hmm. dont recall it working on nk's.....

 

[lintsniffer]

It worked on NightKnight's SNES emu.

Is that for 2X?

Yeah, but everyone says it doesn't work on newer firmwares. I'm about to test that myself. Regardless, it only ran at about 4fps, so....

Super Mario RPG has an extra chip, similar to Yoshi's Island.
Without emulating this chip, it won't work

NK's emu was based on snes9x, so this chip is being emulated.
squidgesnes is based on yoyofr's OpenSNES9x which is pretty optimized for the GP32 and therefore has that chip disabled

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

would it be a simple task to actually enable it? I know I speak for everyone when I say Yoshi's island and SM RPG are fantastic games.

 

[Claym99]

Ah...Super Mario RPG...it's a beautiful thing. I thought the problem was with the CPU core emulation? On my Zodiac i just change the core from ASM to C and it works...oh and you have to have audio enabled until your actually in the game...
