github.com/MF42-DZH/ModePile/wiki/Installation This is probably I should've done years ago tbh.

I realise I haven't explained much in the video itself, but my reasoning is the following: The Impreza Spec C was nerfed to "bring it in line with the other imprezas", as you and the patch notes say. However, the other reason I suspect for the change was to incentivize people into using other cars for offroad events, especially the rally cars. The issue with the *dedicated* rally cars in GT4 is that most of them (barring things like the Impreza WRCs and the Lancer Evo Super Rally Car) have really bad grip modifiers, usually *worse* than this Impreza post-nerf. They all are also limited to 13 / 18 downforce, wherein any of the roadgoing Imprezas can get a GT Auto wing which give them *30 / 30* in comparison. There is also the silly observation that is also mentioned in the video where now a 4WD sports car from a legendary line and family of cars (the Impreza-titled versions of the WRXes) is *worse in grip than its luxury sedan relative* (the Legacy B4 2.0GT Spec B), in which all the other Imprezas are *still quite a bit* worse than the Impreza Spec C post nerf. With the Motor Sport Elise, I do agree that it did need a buff from its vanilla state. However, in attempting to "incentivise usage of other cars for offroad" the Motor Sport Elise has accientally become one of (if not) the best choices, as it has a rear downforce advantage (being able to get *35* compared to 30 on the rear with the GT Auto wing) and a *massive weight advantage* compared to most other choices, essentially creating a zero-sum change (exchanging one busted offroad car for another, even if the Elise requires slightly more care). Neither of the changes solve the issue of most *dedicated* rally cars in the game being vastly inferior to their roadgoing versions for offroad. In my opinion it would have been better to buff those other cars instead of nerfing the Spec C. The buff to the Motor Sport Elise is warranted, but perhaps slightly overtuned.

Any numbers one can use to cross-reference has been detailed in this sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DtAPfe5YhuQ4p1mdoPcVAMF5NzzpZ7Jb0Q0gUpl1sEQ/edit?gid=1434551478#gid=1434551478 Just take a look at the rally cars vs. some of the road cars and one can make their own judgement on why I'm baffled with some of these balance choices.

What version of Flashpoint are you using? If I remember correctly I was using the most recent version of Flashpoint 11 Infinity of the time, and the game seems to load fine on Flashpoint 13 Infinity.

IIRC, same here. I don't have Flashpoint installed anymore; I prefer to use the original projector. Alas, this game doesn't work with that.

honestly they tried their absolute damndest to make it work, even adding in a gimmick (not shown here) where certain lines in your stack get frozen over and you have to use the icicles to shove the individual monominoes underneath those frozen lines to clear them but the timing of the icicles are nigh impossible to predict, and the broken implementation of SRS they have doesn't help things

iirc 3.10A is the ArcadeTown build of 3.10 (so they're mostly identical other than some ArcadeTown branding on the loading screen) I don't have a link anymore since I got it a long time ago, but maybe Internet Archive has a copy

​@@Azulliacan you make a Google drive link, I really want to obtain it

truck 👍

Should be here: drive.google.com/file/d/18gPT5Qdi_JBT7WOMriEZJ5lHTMz9bVHB/view?usp=drivesdk Pretty sure this is the up-to-date version, which I cannot remember if it is slightly different than the one in this video.

@@Azullia thank you lol didn't expect you to respond this fast

1. Get the Java Development Kit for Java 8 (sometimes known as JDK 1.8 or JDK 8). 2. Get an editor for Java (Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code, etc.) and learn how to write Java. 3. Clone the NullpoMino repository from GitHub. 4. In your own copy of NullpoMino, create a directory called "build" (without the quotes). 5. Open NullpoMino.jar with an archive tool (7Zip, WinZip, etc.) and copy everything in there into "build" (I think. I'll fact check myself on this once I get to my computer later). 6. Study the existing source code you have gotten, then make new files following their conventions. 7. Study any of the extra files that NullpoMino has to figure out what you need to change / add to them. 8. Write your mods as you see fit. 9. Build them and test them regularly by moving the class files into your copy's new "build" directory. 10. ??? 11. Profit!

@@Azullia i dont really know java :/ is it hard?

@@Kadencabs It's not too bad tbh.

@@Azullia i will try to see what i can do

@@Azullia how can i build it?

If you have """legally acquired""" TGM3 (it's a Windows program, basically), there is a directory full of the assets (sounds, sprites and all) in there. I won't post any links because Arika might throw a shitfit.

@@Azullia dont worry i already have it lol

no not really more like "washed up" lmao

@@Azullia also I've been playing 20G for like a year, broken some 20G WRs, and my PB in demon mode is W-A, so you're basically at the same level as me

@@Azullia @Azullia what? also you should try demon mode in Cambridge, it has way less input lag

@@NOT_A_ROBOT I would if I hadn't quit Tetris 2 years ago despite the publish date on this video, this was recorded from 2018 as for Cambridge, I know it has lower input lag, but again it'd have been great if I hadn't quit Tetris

such is DTET, a very unique clone indeed

This was played on an old laptop from 2013 (ish) where it was still running Windows 7. I suppose that still had ActiveX. Though, that laptop no longer has Win7 on it so I don't think I can play it anymore either. Maybe with a bit of nonsense and fiddling it might be possible, not sure though.

As far as I know, the games were all designed to be as accurate as possible to the time that they were produced, from the scenery and everything. The only exception is that the distances may be shortened a little to make the gameplay less boring. The bridge is real, it is the Inuyama Bridge on Kiso River. So for this game, it shows places accurate for ~1996-1998. I'm not sure how those places look like now.

The entire line is real and is still in operation. However, the bridge is repurposed to only allow trains, as another bridge for normal traffic was built sometime after this game entered the market. This is how it looks irl (the uploader provided timestamps in the description; you can start from nagoya for the entire line seen here, or skip to inuyama-yuen for the bridge) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqeQiHmtZb-DqsU

I think at the time of me creating this I was just going "haha funny meme mode based on train game I play". But somehow I think it became an actual test of knowing how to speed up and slow down at will while playing.

@@Azullia That's quite interesting to hear... I'm not very good with going super fast unfortunately for me, so I doubt this is going to be something I can handle for a long time.

You'll still have the penalty for crashing + the lateness penalty if you've somehow arrived without a game over.

It was great! I really enjoyed how everything was altered, even the ambient tracks and the radio loop.

you probably might be able to find ISO files of this game still floating around online

@@Azullia I want to play the game LEGALLY

@@ducksareurlords3782 fair enough, I think there are online listings for the original game disc in places

@@Azullia yeah and they are like 10 bucks

You might still be able to ask greentea for it like the commenter below

@@Azullia ah, yeah, I'll see if I can

There are these two hard drop wiki stub articles: harddrop.com/wiki/Tetris-ex harddrop.com/wiki/XRS (its rotation system) But in short it's a flash Tetris clone by farter (the same one that maintains one of the tetr.js forks). I'd post a link to a playable version, but the domain seems to have disappeared. I did manage to save a local .swf of it if you like, but you might need a standalone flash player of some kind in order to play it.

@@Azullia thanks!

@@Azullia i do have a standalone flash player

@@mizu_yt I've put it on archive.org here: archive.org/details/t-ex-returns And I've only just remembered that farter gave more info on this closed issue: github.com/0xFC963F18DC21/ModePile/issues/4

@@Azullia ah, thanks a lot... Whatever your nickname is

I got the GM exam once on my birthday 8 months ago, I choked in an extremely stupid way, and I didn't get a retake for it I think I let it get to me because that's what caused me retire

@@Azullia ouch, that's really painful. it took me 3 excruciatingly close fails before i got it. if you ever come out of retirement, GM is right around the corner :p

@@aur9ra doubt it, I haven't played in 8 months, and last time I tried playing (like the week after that), I couldn't even get past m7

... and at this point, I don't even think it's burnout anymore because normally if I burn out on a game, I just stop playing it for a while then come back this is different I have this like, sudden irrational hate for all things tetris

@@Azullia ah, i see. rip :(

TTC was on some crap I guess (actually, 'was' isn't really accurate to be honest, I think 'always was and still is' would be more accurate)

I’m not really qualified to talk about Ryojouhen, haven’t really got much experience (or skill) in it and I’ve already placed a link to Old Games Box’s Ryojouhen tutorial in the description. About Kisha, I’ve still yet to fully understand how it works, especially the original control scheme with the many dials and knobs to contend to. I am however going make videos for Final and Shinkansen, and the Final video is currently in the backburner.

@@Azullia yeah, I still haven't figured out Kisha yet either! I have it just to have the full collection.

Ryojouhen is such a gem of a game. I really like the fact that you have to make your announcements as you arrive and leave the station, and opening and closing the doors. It's great how you can choose what season too! I haven't been able to figure out Kisha. I just have a copy to have a complete collection.

I could've but at the time I sucked at DTET and on NullpoMino it feels nowhere near as smooth as the on the real deal Edit: I really don't know what kind of magic Mihys pulled when writing the control parser for DTET but it is buttery smooth with no input lag

I think it's the best looking DDG game of the PS1. When I first played it, it was cool to see all the traffic. They really knew how to make great games. Have you played the PS4 version yet? It's a beautiful game but unfortunately doesn't have the station jingles.

@@scottianson5133 Sadly no PS4 nor Switch to play it on though, and no easy access to international-order Japanese goods to even be able to (or even access to the latest Japan-only arcade game) :| There's quite a few extra mechanics too that I haven't really seen (translated) guides for, so I'd really be lost trying to navigate that game. Especially since a lot of the translations and stuff seen on this video was just based on a combination of the older games being simple enough to pick up without a full guide, and poring over online dictionaries and translators.
