What time zone do you live in? I live in california, so as of typing, it's like 3:17 PM

MintWhelp said...

At this minute, it's 7:33.

Ugh, might not answer posts for a couple days or so... I caught one awful cold, it seems.

So... I guess the votereward might be a couple of days late T_T

Darn. speaking of posts...
Legend of the dragoon update:
I started the Ghost ship today. The party I'm using is Dart, Meru, and Kongol, Like I said I would last time. no rose because almost everything in the ship is darkness elemental. DUH. I like kongol because he can pretty much OHK all the really annoying enemies with his Pirsuit move if I time it right (once again, thank god for savestates) like the will-o'-wisp and skeleton, and death with help from dart/meru. The will-o'-wisps are easily the most annoying because they are fast. Kongol is slow. Progress made: got to point where I fight the first Magician bogy. I have Magic Ego Bells equiped on all my current party for that purpose, because he can cause bewitchment, and MGB's nullify Bewichment. In case you forgot, Bewichment works exactly like the charmed status in Final Fantasy 6: It stays with the character, even if he gets attacked, until the caster/user enemy is defeated. after the caster of charm is defeated, Charm and Bewichment are automatically Dispelled.
anyway, as of typing it is 10:36 PM so, G'night

I'm getting oddly bored of Legend of the Dragoon, so I'mma go look for a Xenogears rom now.
Happy you convinced someone into playing xenogears?

bp3500 said...

"Happy you convinced someone into playing xenogears?" restating that so you can still reply to that.
anyway, after much confusion (first, with the LoD roms, I didn't know you had to SAVE the .rar files instead of OPEN. The confusion for Xenogears was
1) I had to imput a password to extract the files, and I didn't know they stated the password in the area where it links to the pages to download all the parts of the first disc, in which the site I got the rom from had the disc nicely spliced into 50 megabyte folders each.
2) When I extracted the final file, It came out as a .rar that functioned the same as the normal .bin file for some reason. it still worked [yay], but that still confused me), I got the game working, so now I CAN PLAY XENOGEARS!!!11!!!1!!11!!!!11!!!1111!!1!
also hooray for pharencetical(Dammit, me, I'm not frickin albert! seriously, albert, Lackidasical?) text more than outnumbering the normal text :/

also, just cuz I found it funny:

Ahh, the Beatles. You can't beat their simple elegance.

Or maybe it's just the medicine speaking.

Anyways, yay for Xenogears!

bp3500 said...

Soz I was playing Xenogears last night...
It kinda sucked. I just can't stop getting lag for the battles. I think it is the emulator I'm using, but then again, you said it takes a pretty strong machine to use an emulator. What I don't understand is how My emulator can stand up to the animation of Rose's Transformation, but it has to lag every time I get into a random battle in Xenogears. Maybe it's just the large fighting area, maybe it's ePSXe, certain CPU's can't handle vamped up graphics. I was thinking "try to use a normal PSX emulator," but I don't really want to have to find all the parts and assemble them. I got my ePSXe amulator through a link that already had everything assembled. Can you offer me some help?

MintWhelp said...

Mmmh, that's weird. I do use ePSXe for my emulation, but I didn't get any lag at all (in fact, some parts where the lag between disc loading and fighting scene gets annoying gets greatly diminished thanks to the emulation --I'm looking at you Tower!--)

Well, I do, assume you mean lag IN the fights, not at the loading, right?

I unfortunately know very little about the PSX emulator...

Well, my PC is pretty strong, so my configuration probably means nothing, but here you go:

Video:Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.5
Sound: ePSXe SPU core 1.7.0

Pete's OpenGL2 Driver was set to the pre-configured "Fast" setting.

Define "pretty strong."
I'mma be honest. I don't know why It lags in battle, not during loading time. It only lags during the transitions between world and battle in Legend of the Dragoon. It really has no reason to lag, because the same thing happens when I have stuff open in the background and when I don't have stuff open in the background. I even tried Disabling my internet, which Didn't change anything! Here is the state of the LAPTOP I am using:
operationg system: Windows Vista
Total Hard drive space: 69.5 GB
Used up hard drive space: 39.2 GB
dunno about anything else that might contribute to the constant lag.

Oh, and I also think I should give you a taste of my pain: in the "Lahan on fire" scene, It shows NOTHING BUT A BLACK SCREEN WITH RANDOM FLASHES OF RED AND WHITE. EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT ENTERS THE BATTLE. IT'S JUST PERFECTLY FINE WHEN IT ENTERS A BATTLE, BUT OH NO! THERE'S NO WAY THE VISUALS CAN HANDLE ALOT OF 2D FLAME ANIMATIONS!
What the shit.

MintWhelp said...

Mmmh. Do you run the game in full screen mode? I heard Vista dislikes when you do that, for some reason, though I'm not certain if that would cause lag.

Also, you may want to tell me which Video and Sound plug-ins you are using.

bp3500 said...

I don't actually know how to run it in not fullscreen. also, My plugins are virtually the same. the only difference is in the Pete's OpenGL2 is 2.9, not 2.5

MintWhelp said...

Oh. I'm not familiar with Pete's OpenGL 2.9... Though, I bet it must have a "window mode" check square in its configuration screen.

bp3500 said...

I don't understand what you mean. che... wait. lesee... config... video... click ADVANCED tab... widescreen box checked...
lesse how it works now.
(5 minutes later)
HOLY SHIT! THIS IS WORKING ALMOST PERFECTLY!!!
Thanx Luis! Thanx a WHOLE Lot!

bp3500 said...

say, when do you think that votereward will be ready?

MintWhelp said...

Most probably by the end of the month :p

bp3500 said...

kk. I'm a little depressed cuz I'm graduating next week. I'm going into High-school in august. I honestly am afraid and don't know what to think about it. any emotional support would be greatly appreciated.

also, I would just like to give a small rant about the Word Verification thingy.
"Tarhfuti?" really? I've seen some crazy shit from you, but "Tarhfuti?" Seriously? What a drug trippin' Thingus.

MintWhelp said...

I got suststa. I don't think that's a word in any language. Unless it's a word for a "sustainability gangsta" or something.

High-school was the best of my years. Well, then again, here in Mexico, people are slightly more laid-back than the USA, but, you know, just relax a bit, try to enjoy those years, is what I say. Just like in life, there may be obstacles, but there may also be some of the funniest, most memorable, or overall enjoyable moments there.
Just don't let stuff put you down, and always remember that you can speak of your problems with the people around you, no matter how deep or shallow these problems are.

bp3500 said...

Ok. thanks.

MintWhelp said...

This post's verification word... Kyand. Sounds like a sort of a weird name. I'm sure I heard it somewhere else, though.

Anyways, finished the votereward pic... Still, it won't come until the month ends.
