New spin on an old classic
It's also seamless

I don't see why this needs to exist, but I guess it's kind of neat.

>>10509229
You can play alttp in widescreen already. No point in zooming out too much, it's too hard to read. 8 bit works zoomed out because the simple graphics are easy to read

Makes you realize how much detail there is

>>10509230
>It's also seamless
This is nice. Then again, people are retarded and even prefer shit like those forced fake loading times for every door in REmake

>>10509231
OP left out that you can zoom in or zoom out the screen as much as you like, it's just an option. The main appeal was giving it a seamlessly loading map probably.

>>10509242
I never thought a game having discrete screens as a flaw, so I don't see this as an improvement.
Just a curiosity.

>>10509193
Isn't it required on some screens to exit and come back if you fuck something up? How is this gonna work with that?

>>10509193
>not open source
>.NET Framework required
I'll wait for a proper port.

ugly tiles, ruined

>>10509297
kay I was wrong. Source is included.

>>10509296
Indoors outdoors

>>10509317
You're not even going to touch the source so why the fuck do you care? Sperglord

itch.io has flagged the download as a precaution against "Try My Game" scams.

>>10509319
I would rather compile it myself than trust the included executable, which could be different from what's in the included source. Don't trust anyone.

Really neat. LA was the first Zelda game I played and I've replayed it countless times, this will add a whole different feel. I'll probably end up loving it, but will be very interesting to play.

Thanks OP!

>>10509324
>I would rather compile it myself than trust the included executable
let me guess you are an amerimutt who only downloads games and software from ''Le r/piracy approved sites'' huh?

>that obsessed europost randomly bringing up americans
holy shit lol

>>10509275
Having no screen transitions would, for instance, completely break the overworld difficulty of LoZ, as that relies on you appearing in the middle of a screen full of enemies that you can't trivially hide away from.

>Burgers mentioned: 0
>Still burger gets offended by imaginary Europeans.

Utter soullessness.

>>10509207
This. It destroys the atmosphere.

How does this affect enemy spawning and despawning?

What about dungeons?

I don't remember super mario world looking like this

>>10509193
This is just another reason why CRT owners are chads.

The quest to eliminate the black bars on your wide screen displays has led to the rape of the developers OG vision.

>>10509579
Nah, this looks fun.

Zooming out is utterly pointless, but I guess if it gives more item zones or removes the bracelet popup then it's...fine-ish..not. The square on the hearts looks kinda bad.

>>10509193
Why's the UI look so fucking bad?
They didn't need to change it at all in the first place.

>>10509656
Scale a 144p image to your screen and tell me you think it looks acceptable. Unless your display is like 8", the scanlines are going to be unbearably thick.
>inb4 "just increase the resolution!"
If you're going to blow up the input signal anyway, there's no benefit to using a CRT to display it.

>>10509324
thank g*d I'm not a security schizo like you

>>10509726
>Scale a 144p image to your screen
The original game and most other GB games actually look fantastic on a CRT. Try it for yourself sometime.

>>10509747
I have, which is why I know it looks awful unless you output at at least 288p. And you still have black bars unless you stretch the 10:9 image to 4:3, use borders, or expand the viewport. At which point you're no better than the LCDfags you're complaining about.

>>10509419
Nah
>>10509656
Its a Gameboy game you retard

>>10509324
retarded fa/g/got

>>10509321
There are some articles on mainstream gaming sites linking to the release, so it seems to be under plenty of scrutiny, and there don't seem to be any reports of viruses or anything.

>>10509193
>zoomed out
in more ways than one

>>10509193
You could give every 4Chudder a million dollars and they would still complain. Don't attempt to seek validation from this crowd, you will find none.

The port is objectively great, that's all you need to know.

>>10509193
That looks awful though... Just... Why?

Why can't we have a non-tranny indie dev site?

>>10509219
Its a cool thing anon. Who cares?

>>10509948
The trannies and their people have made rich contributions to indie development. I must respect

>>10509998
>indie development
Could there be a worse achievement? Contributing to...indie deving...on itch.io? yikes.

>>10509193
So is it safe?

>>10509998
It's actually the autists who are adept at game design. A certain percentage of them just happen to be trannies, but all trannies are autists so there's crossover.

>>10510026

I like it. It should be possible to turn off for the purists I guess.

>>10510028

>Why yes, I will want to tarnish my reputation as a developer for the rest of my life to infect the computers of the 100 people who will download this EXE I have spent 5000 developing.

>>10509450
I'm disappointed it took this many posts

>>10510295
Why the hell even bother with this if you're going to turn off all the enhancements though. Decomps and engine recreations for more modern titles make sense even for a more vanilla experience imho but you can already emulate gb games on damn near any old potato these days. Hell, I used to play gb games on my phone like 15 years ago.
I used to be really againts all the modern remake and remaster additions in games too but it's honestly not all inherently bad if applied correctly.

>>10510398
Some people want literally the exact same game but one or two features they personally want.
But true, purists are generally impossible to please and should be ignored because this isn't for them.

>>10509428
Same thing. No screen transitions, entire map is visible except for secret rooms.
One thing to note about the game is that despite the fact that there are no screen transitions and the map is "open," enemies will not travel between rooms. Even in areas where the "room" consisted of several open areas to make a large room, enemies will stop at what the screen boundary would have been in the original game. Moldorms will bounce off invisible walls for example.

>>10509219
devaluing what? a $15 game boy cart?

>>10509235
an interesting caviet I ran into, is that flying enemies that drop bombs can move between "screens" and attack you in places where in the original it was a peaceful walk, simply because they exist on a "screen" adjacent to where you are now seamlessly. I say it's interesting because now the game is a bit harder it seems.


to say this remake does anything other than breathe new life into the game is underplaying it significantly.

>>10509242
read my comment above this one, it's not as simple as zooming in or out, because some "screens" have taken on a new experience vicariously.

>>10509656
My LCD is square and so is the Game Boy's

>>10509296
if you genuinely messed something up I've noticed that eventually objects reset themselves, and if they don't you just need to put distance between yourself and the objects you mucked up. leave the "room" like normal and you will see the objects resettle.

>>10509325
It was the second Zelda I ever played, and I had two copies. I traded one for Oracle of Seasons, which had the battery dislodged and I couldn't keep a save file, so I retraded it for Oracle of Ages and played that until the final boss. good games. I miss teleporting around like I originally could. It allows you to keep BowWow, that's a mod I would like to see in this game, keeping the doggo.

>>10509403
read my comment above, some "screens" are chalk full of enemies and they can inadvertently attack you in this remake on "screens" that used to be peaceful. it actually adds some difficulty that didn't exist originally.

>>10509420
it doesn't seem to, in the original there's a lot of enemies that don't respawn if you kill them and stay alive, but they come back if you die or leave and return. it's the same here.

>>10509726
the UI needed to change simply for the sake of there being four face button slots now.

>>10509948
itch.io is based, they have their own launcher app and everything. give it a spin sometime Bro

>>10510039
>extra frames of animation is le bad
off yourself

>>10510412
then they should play the original instead and remain bitter about it. fuck them with a rake.

>>10510458
the UI needed to change simply because it wouldn't work with the new resolution
whole thing reminds me of Castlevania Harmony of Despair.

>>10510473
Art.

>>10510275
Zelda is a franchise not a game. There are maybe two Seasons threads a year. Do you have dog shit where your brain should be?

I feel like Link's walk cycles animate slower than the original game.
Not that it's a huge problem. Just feels off to me.

>>10510426
Devaluing the experience. There is more that has value than money, anon. "All that glitters is not gold"

>>10510503
Not a valid application of that phrase.

A big part of the joy of a Zelda game is the feeling of exploration, of allowing yourself to be submersed in the experience of not knowing what's beyond the horizon, even if the horizon is the edge of the screen, even if you've played it before so you know what comes next. You allow yourself to experience the idea that you're in a place that has meaning, a certain neck of the woods, a bend in the path, a memorable landmark, a small little moment with just you and the pretty NPC. Taking away the horizon takes away the exploration. When you can see the whole thing at once, it becomes a novelty, a curiosity perhaps, but no longer an experience. The curtain is pulled back, the wizard revealed, the rainbow unwoven, the sausage is made, et cetera ad nauseum.

What's the point of walking to a place when you can see it just as well from where you are? What's the point of delving through a labyrinth when you can solve the whole thing like the maze on the back of a child's cereal box? LIMITATIONS are what define an experience. It is an urge of humanity to break limitations-- but be wary of what you may miss when they're gone.

>>10509324
>implying you'd actually read the source
Just admit it. You're trusting that because the source is included that someone else has already done the hard work for you and gone through the source to see if there's anything wrong with it.

>>10510524
It's a very valid application of the phrase. I'm sorry you're either an ESL, a room temperature IQ, lack a soul, or all three at once.

I hope he adds a 4:3 mode, it'd be fun to play zoomed out to about x6 scale at kind of a LTTP-spec.

>>10509207
Why not?

>>10509275
True, but curiosities are pretty fun. At least I think so.

>>10510425
Aren't there many situations where you need to reset a room? Even just to farm rupees or restart a puzzle?

>>10509947
Anon can never enjoy Link's Awakening DX on his Game Boy Color again. Damn.

>>10510503
But I already experienced the original.

>>10510529
I think it's fine if you think of it as a programming experiment done for the lulz or lazy romhack, not a serious remake. maybe someone could use the source and make it better or do custom maps or something.

>>10510542
like this?

>>10510559
it's all accounted for

Probably nothing will happen, the download includes source and comes up clean on Virus Total.

>>10510489
I made a seasons thread this year.

>>10509219
I understand what you mean if you're worrying about some kid playing through the game for the first time or something, but you shouldn't. Let their parents worry about them. But for someone whose favorite game is links awakening, this should be a great, fresh way to revisit the game.

>>10509207
So people can play Link's Awakening on their computer without downloading anything while working at a call center.

>>10510657
Does itch let users report for malware? It could be an influx of shitters flagging it because it's popular.

>>10510707
Yes. There's a very small report button at the bottom of every game page.

>>10510707
it's a new account that's getting millions of downloads for their only release, I'd say it's automatic

>>10510706
why even post if you can't be bothered to click the link or read a couple of posts to get even a basic idea of what the thread is talking about

>>10509193
I hope the next 2D Zelda is like this
Tired of screen troonsitions. Glorified loading screens.
Maybe only in certain dungeons.

>>10509193
fully zoomed out for zoomers

>>10509193
Cheaters never win.

>>10510896
You don't have to play zoomed out if you don't want to.

>>10510846
FYI try emulating Four Swords Adventure with Texture Filtering set to Nearest sometime.
The visuals look a lot better for it, it doesn't fix that they did a poor job of texturing the polygons used for the sprites though.

>>10510846
>>10510989
I remember owning this but despite everyone i knew having a gba, they did not have gamecube connection cables so i had to play alone.

And do you really think this giant ugly cluster of vines was meant to be seen together? obviously they were deliberately put there to frame the limits of each individual screen. by all means enjoy being able to select more than 2 items at a time but it's so fucking ridiculous to disregard the artistry that went into building the landscape the way it was

Not a big fan of some of the "enhancements", otherwise it looks to me that source ports is the future for retro gaming. They are more optimized for cheap handhelds, can fix some of their quirks, take advantage of larger screens and leaves the door open for additional features such as multiplayer.

the thing youre not making clear is why does this exist in the first place?
ive literally never heard of anyone ever complaining about screen transitions in the GB zeldas.
like its an impressive bit of math homework you all did to get it to work, but it doesnt serve any sort of purpose. no one needed or wanted this

Don't bother recording your crap, I'm not interested. Waste of google-space, global warming is all your fault.

the real question is what the fuck is going to happen if you do the doghouse glitch with no screen transitions?
id assume it would just crash, since its literally not an 8-bit game anymore
but it also might look really really fuckin cool

>>10512950
This is why Nintendo has grounds for the C&D; they're distributing the assets including graphics, audio, text, and possibly map layout.

Decompilation and recompilation projects legally can't be touched by companies when they are genuinely clean room and don't distribute binaries with copyrighted assets/data. This is why things like sm64pcbuilder2 and Ship of Harkinian require the user to supply their own ROM file to compile an executable, or things like Sonic Mania or Sonic 3 AIR require the user to supply a ROM alongside a compiled executable that stores no copyrighted data.

>>10509940
This whole thread is proving you right lol

>>10513542
Unfortunately things like the doghouse glitch aren't possible, because it's not a port using decompiled or leaked code.
It's a straight up remake apparently in an engine called MonoGame (though I've not been able to confirm that).
The engine is notable for games like Stardew Valley, Axiom Verge, Streets of Rage IV, Fez, Celeste.
https://monogame.net/showcase.html

>>10513557
I thought most of those were written from ground up. Intredasting.

>>10513557
thats what i figured
iirc the old one works on the fact that some register that keeps track of enemies killed without taking damage (i think for power piece/acorn drops?) ended up getting used for the non-existent door transition of you going backwards through the in door

>>10513338
Don't bother, loonixbro. It's written in C sharp, proprietaryslop.

>>10513574
>not sent to the GNUlag
ngmi

>>10513571
Yeah, the number of enemies killed will determine the layout of the glitched submap accessed via the doghouse.
IMO the ideal number is 2 kills, exploration is manageable and you can find some interesting exits or treasure chests, stuff like getting the level 2 power bracelet or magic rod within minutes of starting a new game.
There's also a specific path you can take which'll crash the game, which is something I like to test whenever I'm playing LADX on a new system like Nintendo Switch Online, or the Analogue Pocket I got recently.
On 3DS Virtual Console, this would crash the 3DS system on earlier firmwares.

>>10514079
Select Warping is fun as fuck, it's like playing around with debug mode in Sonic games on Genesis, but with restrictions and skill execution.
There's a frame-timing that will determine your placement on the next screen, and whether or not NPCs travel with you (which enables the Fisherman's glitch)

The original title screen is pretty boring looking. I bet the guy that made it would admit as much. Was probably during crunch time and he just shat something out.

>>10515210
You think the person working on the final pan up the mountain very deliberately made the mountain sparse of detail?

>>10515221
It adds to the scale and mystique of the egg you dunce

the clouds are just clutter that detracts from the effect. the ring is bad enough by blocking the mountain but what really kills it is having clouds that by stretching so high above the egg they end up dwarfing it, it no longer feels like this colossal feature standing above all else.
both things combined completely kill the sense of height and might of the frame

clearly you have no understanding of art

>>10515237
also the perspective of the ring is completely off in relation to everything else

stunning

>>10515237
>It adds to the scale
Wouldn't clouds add to the scale? Clouds don't form around tiny hills. Only giant, tall mountains. Therefore the egg must be giant.
Also the clouds do not obscure the egg in any way, they actually frame it and draw further it attention to it.
In the original, the framing of the final still of the title screen has no
>sense of height and might
Only with the context of the pan up do you get that sense.
Clouds give the sense of height. Because clouds are high up.
You are the one with no sense of art, you reddit-spacing faggot.

>>10515265
crazy how much more poignant the original is

>>10515265
The clouds hurt the pan up, but improve the final title screen.

>>10515265
crazy how much more poignant the remake is

>>10515271
Crazy how poignant your use of the word poignant is.

poignant how poignant your poignant of the poignant poignant is

>>10515271
Whichever version you play first will probably be your preferred version so what's the point of these comparisons? Feels like splitting hairs to me.

>>10515265
the gigantic cloud is completely unnatural only there to frame the text
ring ruins the height of the mountain and the perspective is off

I don't mind the DX title screen in its final form but in the context of the cinematic it's way, way worse

>>10515285
I grew up with DX and I find the original infinitely superior today

>>10515295
Of course the game being designed from the ground up for the monochrome game boy will result in the original version looking more cohesive.
Just makes me realize how much the people working on DX had their work cut out for them despite it seeming like it should be easy to just make colored version of the tiles.

I only had played the original, but this remake DX HD port is on another level. You can actually zoom way out and see all the monsters in the overworld are actively doing their thing, the island is bustling and alive. I love this shit. This is how DX should have always been.

>>10515323
let's hope nobody takes the bait

DX is definitively inferior to the original outside of a brainlet's superficial evaluation's (and this is coming from someone who was super hyped to get, and then greatly enjoyed, DX)

but here's a reupload of of this HD version, anyway, in case you missed it before it got nuked: https://files.catbox.moe/lj20al.zip

I'll always hate VBA for having such shit audio emulation for so long that the title screen "schwing" and Ballad of the Wind Fish are messed up on every fucking LA YouTube video.

>>10515259

Here's what it should sound like (1:03): https://youtu.be/wLLrqrHlc0A?t=53

>>10513779
Apparently it's real.

>>10515807
sometimes the emulation can be fine but getting the system running the emulator to produce sound decently can be a problem
not saying vba had accuracy or system issue though, no idea

>>10515823
VBA's audio emulation was ass, and totally fucked up LA specifically. If you had ever played LA in VBA back in the day you would recognize the shit in that video. Since you admit you don't know what you're talking about, why did you comment?

>>10515828
because vba isn't the only emulator in existence and advance also isn't the only system in existence
even recommended emulators for nes have oddities, not necessarily audio ones

>>10515834
recommended emulators in the wiki*

I want a JP version because the western ones have odd localizations that are like censors.

>>10515834
What does that have to do with the fact that most LA videos online have particular audio bugs that are characteristic of being recorded with VBA and fuck up the sound effects in the titlescreen, ending, and other places? This is a discussion about LA's aesthetics, with links to a fucked up VBA video or two, so why are you saying stuff like "recommended emulators for nes have oddities, not necessarily audio ones" that have literally nothing to do with any post in this thread? You could have described the dietary habits of the capybara and it would be as on topic as what you said.

>>10515849
you can gripe about vba but noticing things there doesn't mean retarded shit isn't happening in other emus that vba is doing better
same goes for other emu/systems, or even this fan made thing regarding problems, who really knows what's "accurate"
most people using official hardware like the super game boy for years probably aren't aware of inaccuracy

>>10509219
it's closer to the original vision of the developers. They were only limited to scrolling and zoomed in low res dogshit because nintendie systems always cheap out on the screen

>>10516451
As someone who played the original version on a classic Game Boy, DX is definitely the one to play. But playing on the original GB when it was current is a level of soul beyond anything that's possible now.

>>10509193
>le zoomer edition

>>10514509
then why come I can download any game I want from there?

It's an interesting novelty but it's basically a cheat and sucks out a lot of the excitement of the original game. Even if you can zoom in it's not the same without proper screen transitions.

Kinda wish for a source port with just the 4 button mapping instead, that's the only real improvement the original game could seriously benefit from.

>>10516045
I'm sorry, were you expecting a widescreen 1080p color handheld back in 1989?

>>10516607
Did you know that the Virtual Boy has nearly the same resolution as the 3DS?
384x224 versus 400x240.

Virtual Boy was higher resolution than both the GBA (240x160) and NDS (256x192).

>>10518047
Less that he mindbroke /vr/ and more that he made every Link's Awakening thread the same tedious argument over and over again. I genuinely can't remember when anyone talked about this game without OG vs DX arguments.

>inb4 just make your own thread/talk about it yourself
Tried many times and the thread would almost immediately get sniped.

>>10518046
I'm sorry, the tile guy? Who?

>>10518116
someone who brought attention to how the tiles of the game were not designed with color in mind and as such do not blend more seamlessly the way they are supposed to making the original greyscale version aesthetically superior. Refer to >>10515295 for a good example. The flowers directly next to the trees look particularly bad in the DX version

>>10515265
left has more of a film noir feel

>>10518116
A lot of Link's Awakening threads started falling to shit this year because there's one guy who keeps insisting that the DX games are completely, mechanically unplayable because you can tell the the floor tiles are tiles. This then expanded into people claiming that DX ruined the game, so now every LA thread devolves into the same OG vs DX arguments.

>>10518137
And not just in /vr/. Same thing happens in /v/ threads too.

>>10518137
>there's one guy who keeps insisting that the DX games are completely, mechanically unplayable because you can tell the the floor tiles are tiles
This is false. I for one am glad the narrative that "DX is better than the original in every single way" that's been going on for decades is being corrected

On the plus side, it's only one game, and only here. On /v/ you can't really discuss any Zelda games at all. Not with ACfag, Eric, ZelinkOP, and others constantly shitting up threads.

>>10518137
I mean, I'll admit sometimes the tiling doesn't look as good in the color version, but that's far from unplayable - just unfortunate. Some people get worked up over the weirdest shit. There's either clouds on the title screen or there isn't, it's not important.

Basically this. Neat that someone made it, but I feel zero draw to play it this way. Just the same I think someone lamenting the existence of this must be completely retarded.

>>10509275
Yeah. The 'seamed' screens of the original owe somewhat to limitations of the hardware, but A), those aren't exactly hard limitations and they clearly opted for that approach out of choice, and B), it's ultimately executed well. The screen transitions are rarely any kind of hindrance or annoyance, they're there and that's how the game works, which isn't objectionable by any means.

>>10509235
It could be argued that those are almost a stylistic necessity given how any given room in Resident Evil (and thus REmake) is typically self-contained, so a transition screen feels really fitting as a way to "cap off" your visit in any one location as you go to another.
Most of the time, also, enemies stay in their rooms, and you will usually not have an enemy follow you into a room, nor will an enemy usually come out of a room that it stays in. Sometimes they do, but only as special events.

Maybe I'm just being weird about this part, but it's how I feel about it, that it's important that rooms in old Resident Evil games feel like borderline self-contained instances.

You must be aware that speedrunners have separate categories, typically any%, 100%, no major skips, and some other arbitrary self-imposed goals?

You ever consider that regular people do the same and will play a game more than once?

So did they bothered with the Zelda 2 game maker port as well? it's also on itch.io and the tard that was targeting the LA pc port was in the thread that mentioned it.

I'm having fun but the instrument freeze bug is very annoying

A few things that kinda bug me about how they made this... For one, slimes coming out of the floor do so way faster now and can actually hit you. You can't just walk past them before they pop up anymore, you have to stop and wait for them each time if you don't want to get hit. But they're not the only enemy with an annoying change, the invulnerable enemies that you have to push away with your shield now move a lot faster.

After buying the shovel, bombs should be available in the shop alongside the bow and arrow. For whatever reason, the person that did this keeps bombs from appearing in the shop until you get to the third dungeon. This means you can't open the hidden room in the first dungeon on your first visit anymore, you have to revisit it later.

Some more minor things that bug me include how you have to get way closer to the Trendy Shop guy to talk to him. It's tradition for me to farm rupees there and in the original games, I got used to how you could start talking to him almost a tile away, but here I have to have Link's sprite touching his. Keeps throwing me off. Also don't like how the guy who did this sped up the dying animation for the bosses. It's like in this one, he had a "QOL"-like speedrunner-ish mentality towards that and was like, "Just have the bosses immediately disappear, we don't want to watch them die." which sorta disappointed me.

Otherwise, this is pretty cool, and a novel little thing. I think it's neat. It'd be nice to see this done for Zelda 1 and Zelda 3.

>>10524770
What the hell does the shovel have to do with anything? I got the rupees from the Trendy Game, as mentioned. And since you're unaware, in the original games, bombs are available after you buy the shovel. For whatever reason the guy who made this changed that.

This illustrates something important.
If you put a boundary on one side of a screen, an equivalent boundary needs to exist on the other side of the transition.
If you didn't, you'd have a situation where you move to the edge of the screen and either
>Don't transition with no clear reason why
>Transition and get stuck inside of a wall

The latter happens a lot when you're doing the doghouse glitch.

Lttpsisters... Why Awakening always get the spotlight?

Isn't it kind of fucked up how Marin and Tarin sleep next to eachother?

It's ok. You don't have to keep the thread alive anymore.

>>10528627
What the FUCK? They actually published that? I legit thought it was just some meme comic before reading the post.

>>10528008
>>10529371
I'm with this guy. LTTP had some cool stuff, but it was very generic. You go through like 20 miniature dungeons, too small to have impactful theming or presence. I didn't like the overall pacing of the game, it felt drawn out, rather than tightly structured and then polished. Awakening did feel polished, with a more engrossing story, faster pacing, and dungeons that felt thematic.
Obviously, some things have to have a generic story for there to be stories agreed upon as the generic ones. But LTTP doesn't do much outside the norm, and no one is going to play it purely off a promise of "saving a princess from an evil monster/man", whereas Awakening's premise is far more novel.

>>10529636
>faster pacing
I don't feel like that. Maybe because of constant screen transitions, or pausing the game many, many times to change items to do basic stuff or the frequent messages about pickups or if you accidentally grab a rock without wearing gloves.

A Link to the Past feels generic because it was successful to a point it became a template, upon which several later Zelda games build. So, yeah, if you didn't play it back then, you'll feel like you've seen that many times before. The game, as you noted, focus heavily in dungeons, which many players did like. I still do, but don't know what's the norm now. You can always quickly go from dungeon N to dungeon N+1, while sidequests were fewer and mostly optional.

Anyway, it's taste vs taste, and it's a good thing that multiple games within a same franchise appeal to different people. Perhaps that's one of the reasons Zelda is still alive today. For illustration purposes only, a lot of Konami games failed to do that and couldn't live on.

could it theoretically be added since they provided the source? it'd be cool to keep bowow

>>10509193
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THE START-SELECT WARP LIKE THIS?!?!?

>>10529971
I think it could easily be added but I don't know my way around coding. There's NPC's programmed to have different dialogue when you have BowWow, so I imagine what would be nice would be being able to take doggo on walks and return him back at your leisure, similar to how you can trade something for the boomerang and back at the end of the trading sidequest.

You're right that on the tightest gameplay loop, the moment-to-moment action, Awakening is more stilted because of the constant pausing. I meant pacing on the story level, where things happen with the island characters and you get to explore more of the island as you go. Whereas in LTTP I felt like I was just collecting 24 MacGuffins and running back and forth on the overworld to get to them all, with not a lot of story in between. It's been many years since I played either one, so I could also just be misremembering.
There were a lot of dungeons in LTTP, but many were small, so it would be over just when I felt things were starting to get going. In Awakening, they were all extensive, even with mini-bosses. They felt far more substantial to me.
You're also right that the series offers many variations on a theme, such that it has appeal to many different people. When I said the game was generic, I again was only referring to the story itself. Saving a princess from an evil monster or wizard wasn't a fresh concept at the time of the game's release, as it was already being done to death in pulp fantasy novels and adventure movies. There's nothing wrong with a generic story done well, but something inventive and mysterious is going to make a bigger impression.

>>10509207
Fpbp. Link's Awakening is chunked up into screens and that a big part of the feeling of the game for me.

>>10529871
nta. I played it (the GBA remake) and if I had to give it something, it's the psyche at the beginning where you feel you beat the game but it's obvious in hindsight that wizard's not the final boss.
Still, having played the best games designed by mankind (aka. the Oracle+Awake triad), I could only give it fourth place. I simply didn't feel it outshone the Oracle series which already lean on the generic angle. It's an Oracle that you save instead but that's close AND you save a princess too. Sorry. There's inconveniences but also so much to do like getting rings. I suppose if you like not having screen transitions, well, you got LA DX HD! There's something for everybody, truly.

I was under the impression that it was a Father/Daughter dynamic going on.

>Awakening is more stilted because of the constant pausing.
so imagine how bad LTTP gets with only a single equipable item at a time

>>10531295
It's not quite as bad because the Titan's Mitt, Pegasus Boots, and shield are automatically equipped at all times in LttP.

>"LA.exe" editor
It seems if you open the app with this flag you get an editor, has anyone managed to use it?
I'm not good at this stuff and get an error building it, seems you need mono/VS+Monogame+sharpDX(?). shrug.

>>10510609
I had to use a strategy guide as a kid for this. Not sure how they expected anyone to know what the fuck this message was about especially when the names of the enemies are never even said in game.

Someone made a patch for LADX that restores the screen warp glitch.
Shit's fun.

Gib Moyse patch.

Just play the German release and understand German.

>>10532296
they're in the manual

>>10531245
This is /vr/ after all.

>>10533129
>be on retro board
>playing retro game
>can't use retro OS
sigh...I blame zoomers

>probably w7(2009)
shouldn't /vr/ be more w2000/xp?

>>10510675
Snoys don't give a fuck. It's butthurt sega fans that seethe endlessly over PlayStation and Nintendo alike

>>10533171
Ideally, Win98, since it retains the most compatibility with /vr/ PC games (DOS or not).

>>10509229
Minish Cap decompilation is currently at 99.9%. Soon, anon.

>>10533676
yea i meant at the "latest" because someone was trying to label 7 as /vr/
i'm not much of a sixth gen person as well, i wouldn't attach it

Is this dude bugged or something? I keep shooting him with the bow and doing the sword charge attack and absolutely nothing happens.

>>10534148
Probably. DX is a rushed port intended to be a tie-in with the OoT's launch (as well as one of few much-needed GBC launch games), and it wasn't worked on by LA's original developers.

>>10534148
use boots

>>10533683
I how they zoom that bad boy out first thing

>>10534148
>>10534283
the port has like one bug, it's polished to a spit shine T

I was fucking around with screen warps inside of the color dungeon, and found one specific screen that calls an invalid OP code with unstable effects.
In emulation using BGB, it just crashes most of the time.

On real hardware running via EverDrive GB X7, it rarely hits an OP code *just right* that makes it freak out and reboot into a semi-GB / GBC mode that has background colors stuck from the EverDrive's real-time menu, but still displays sprites in color.
Screen fades look garbled since it can't dissolve colors, and the color dungeon won't let you in because it thinks you're in GB mode.

This also fucks up the flags for the overworld states and appears to reset or flip them; opening the entrance to Angler's Cavern without using the key, letting you re-collect heart pieces, re-open treasure chests, re-trigger owl dialogues, etc.

Footage was captured from a docked Analogue Pocket, but due to a design flaw with the dock's control scheme it's not possible to simultaneously press UP + Select or Down + Select, which is needed to screen warp. Set up had to be done prior to docking and capturing.

I fucking love Game Boy glitches.

Thanks, that worked.
Shouldn't I have been able to use the bow though, like in this video?

I never played the original, so this is my current gear.

>need help to get through a game for kids
>using net video(compression) for help that not even adults back then would have at 3kbyte/s esque net

>>10534879
Cool shit

>>10534879
Can you force loading the game as Super Game Boy with BGB and try that again? Just curious if there's a difference, don't know if you can still get access through a save or something.

>>10535879
SGB mode in BGB was how I tested it.
The bug I encountered appears to be a very specific behaviour due to how the EverDrive GB-X7 likely does on-the-fly patching or memory modifications to support the real-time menu.
I suspect that the same OP code is being triggered in emulation, but in normal circumstances it does nothing, but the GB-X7 usage scenario coincidentally does something with that OP code?

I also have a GB-X5 I can use which lacks the real-time menu feature, so hypothetically won't produce the same result.

The real-time menu has its quirks. If I open it when playing Pokémon Prism, using the game's save function will force-open the real-time menu and can't be closed afterwards.

This isn't possible in the original is it?

>>10535941
This also happens every time I visit the dream shrine, lol
