How playable is Half-Life on DC? I heard it has quite a lot of bugs and perfomance issues.

It's shit and pretty much only a novelty. It's obvious why that port was eventually cancelled, even if it was advertised heavily in every magazine back then. If you're too lazy to download and play it, there's probably several youtube videos about it

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 23 13:09:04 2023 No.10537692 IIRC the only serious issue is that it requires more VMU space each time you save or something like that. Other than that it plays fine. >captcha: Y2KTAS

I recently played it through pcsx2 and on pc through the 25th anniversary.

Its better on pcsx2 because you can sit back and use a controller and you can up the internal res at a little bit above 1080p while using the wave filter so it feels as intended back in the day but better. Unfortunately, when trying to cross to XEN, pcsx2 kept me on an eternal loading screen and even though I was using the latest daily version a week ago, I couldnt go through and there were no tutorials on how to fix the problem, so I installed the 25th anniversary pc version and started playing the XEN part in 4K. The lack of crt like filters hurts this game big time.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 24 22:53:51 2023 No.10541716 >>10536051 It's extremely rough and the load times are very long. Try it as a novelty I guess, I think the last time I messed around in it I got to blast pit and checked out from the load times. The ps2 version is a great time from start to finish.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 24 23:07:30 2023 No.10541751 >>10538416 yes it is, that's why you can mod it, it uses the same file types as pc

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 25 06:03:05 2023 No.10542645 >>10536051 so, valve ported this game, but Dreamcast was already dying, and no one cared anymore. Then the port was leaked to the Internet, and he needed a lot of optimization

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 25 08:01:33 2023 No.10542797 >>10536051 Did they ever fix the saving bugs or crash from the Dreamcast version?

Anonymous Mon Dec 25 08:16:11 2023 No.10542813

it can crash fairly often, but it's not a big issue if you save regularly. but the issue with saving is the saves are huge and essentially need their own dedicated memory card.
the load times are quite long from a disc but not as bad with a GDEMU.
if you have an ideal setup, a dedicated memory card, an ODE, a keyboard and mouse...the novelty quickly wears off as you're just playing half-life on something that doesn't run it very well. you'll probably get bored and either want to stop playing, or go play a better version of it.
the PS2 version doesn't have that "cancelled game" allure, but if you want to play half-life on a console, it's much more functional.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 25 08:18:39 2023 No.10542815 I tried loading a Dreamcast emulator on my Xbox Series S so i could play this, but i get an error.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 25 08:22:48 2023 No.10542818 >>10542815 Dreamcast games that ran on Windows CE are more difficult and demanding to emulate.
