Amd I'm absolutely sure the same people are arguing. It's jsut that SotN fans seriously don't understand how there can be people arguing that SotN is not the pinnacle of the series. They just don't get it. "Maybe it's some sort of trick", they think. "Maybe we're getting played. Better make a proper fan thread for fans to enjoy the best Castlevania."

Anyway, are we going to make the hard mode hack or are we not? For fuck's sake, we have Final Fantasy IX hard mode but not SotN. The game's got brilliant assets and a stellar microgameplay mechanics. All it needs is good level design and a passable challenge.

You should remove your emulator, redownload the newest version of it and all plugins. Save your memory card files if you must.

Your configuration is clearly fucked. Use the out-of-the-box configuration and see if it works. If it does, then adjust settings one by one until you either find the right visuals for you or break the emulator again. This way you'll know which particular plugin setting breaks your game.

Most likely, you're trying to set ridiculous native resolutions and improbable levels of filtering and/or addon shaders. Don't. 2D games should always be played at native resolution and unfiltered (bilinear at best if you really can't get over the low resolution), while 3D should be set to 2x or 3x times the native resolution and not more, and limit your fitlering. PSX had no filtering and the native res was very low. Many games can be broken if run at modern resolutions.

Don't use shaders until you're comfortable with the settings. Or rather, don't use shaders in PSX emulation.

>SotN is a bad start point just because its partway through the series, you should always start from the beginning.
No, SotN is a bad start point becuase it's nothing like the good Castlevanias, and even at what it's trying to do it still isn't particularly good.

Aesthetics are stellar, but gameplay is poor.
