For me PCE CD is really all about Dracula X. Don't get me wrong, there's a tonne of other great stuff on CD, but it's just crazy how much of a showpiece for the PCE that game is. The Hucard equivalent is Parodius, maybe. I really wish Konami had more output on that system, but what's there is quality. Nice vid.

It’s like that for most people I think. Because it’s just THAT good

The cd audio is so much better. Thank you. The one last issue is that the cd audio seems too loud relative to the system sounds like in rondo whipping sounds. The pc engine mini seems to make the proper sounds. Hopefully this gets a fix too. And yes I’d love to see your favourite cd games

I’ll prolly do a fav CD game vid. Glad this helps. It took me a while of adjusting and listening and comparing to get to a spot I felt was something I could recommend :)

Thanks for this. The sound really put me off from using the core, but this is a great improvement.

Yes once you know where to set it you get a good experience. It took me forever to get it right

I tried to adjust the audio timer but no matter the value it skips/studders like crazy. Really annoying

Odd. Should change the sound

Anyone who’s a fan of Frieren needs to play Ys4 the first season ending for Frieren gave me the same rare feeling that Ys4’s powerful ending gave me It also inspired Makoto Shinkai to join Falcom and began his animation career

Yeah, the bin/cue limit killed so many games for me on this one when I set it up last year. I have no means of combining bin files as far as I'm aware, so like half my TGCD library just doesn't work on the core. At least Rondo works for me!

@VideoGameEsoterica 10 ай бұрын

Yes. Maybe something analogue could patch the OS to support. But waiting on Analogue to do anything can be painful

Hi, to merge bin files you can use Isobuster. Start Isobuster, load your CUE file, select CD in the left windows with mouse right click, after left click on it (CD), select extract CD image and RAW (*.bin). Save your new cue and bin files with the name of the game. You'll have only one bin file. I use an old v4.4 of Isobuster may be some things have change on the new version.

Popful Mail will run merged but fails after the first level. Emulators choke up there as well. If you have save states past that cutscene then you can load that and keep playing though I haven't managed to make that work other than trading saves between a Super HD System 3 Pro and Retroarch and I have not played past the second world to see if it chokes up there as well. I have gotten the game to load unmerged using the json from a merged rom but it didn't work any better.

Good to know. I’ve heard merged can cause issues

@lessthankate 10 ай бұрын

@@VideoGameEsoterica It fails unmerged as well. I have only managed to get it fully working on a terraonion device. Which means it's possible to get it working using FPGA but Falcom games are notorious for weird ass coding when it comes to their text and audio.

That OpenFPGA core is really good in my opinion. It’s even more accurate than the core that’s in the Analogue Duo (Gate Of Thunder does not sound right)…which is funny…and kind of a bummer. Also, the RGB colors are separate from the composite colors right? Lately I’ve been using my Supergrafx via EDFX RGB and i think it looks pretty good.

@VideoGameEsoterica 10 ай бұрын

I believe the colors are separate yes

@TheHiddenFortress81 10 ай бұрын

@@VideoGameEsoterica well they certainly look good to me, and I was worried because I purchased the EDFX and then found out about the slight difference between composite and RGB color tables soon after. I’m actually kind of glad somebody else leans towards the RGB colors too actually.

This core has been basically unused because of the bin file problem. I hope some day that and the sound issues get fixed. It seems I have to keep changing the timing setting. I got fed up and stopped playing the core.

@VideoGameEsoterica 10 ай бұрын

It def could use a rework but I think the bin situation is down to the OS itself
