>>4135508
Fuck off, retard.

>>4135508
Would be better if controls weren't shit.
Other than that, I don't really classify it as a game, I'd say it's more of an art piece that just happens to run on a game console.

Nightmare: The Game
Helps that it was on low poly PS1.

Hey.

Im interested in doing a fan mod of this game. Replacing textures is actully easy, and already got a bunch of ideas for certain textures.

But does anyone know how to replace the video assets? I have used MC32 and "psxinject/psxbuild/psximager" and "cdmage" to try and replace it to no avail, something to do with headers.

Im not experienced with any of this, if anyone knows anyone or has a clue about this it could bring the fan mod to pretty epic.

I know about LBAs, i have encoded the videos slightly smaller than the original. Theres 40 videos on the cd, please anon youre my only hope not really but would really help.

jpsxdec has something on it.

For developers and modders

jPSXdec offers the ability to replace XA audio, video, and TIM images. Some programming skill is required (see manual for details).

Additionally the PlayStation 1 STR video format is now well documented. View the latest version PlayStation1_STR_format.txt.

If anyone has a knowhow to stop a month of trial and error, ill pay you 3.50 rubles

>>4142501
someone already did a remake, it didn't do well because it doesn't have the right feel to it. the shitty (by todays standards) textures make things more vivid, and the dodgy footsteps...you get the idea. I hope.

>>4142869

na im talking about a complete hijack of all the assets not just remastering it in some bogus engine

>>4135508
What would this have looked like on the Saturn? I wonder...

>>4135508
YES.

If you wanted to know, its been figured out how to replace the videos too. Once im done building a base of replacement textures might start a thread for suggestions.

You basically use jpsxdec for video replacing frame by frame, and cdmage + timviewer for texture editing

Also, tools for playing with X Y Z positioning is available. check out some hidden happy town messages

>>4147261
This is an interesting project. Is it all going to be retextures or will new textures be in addition to old ones? Will you be able to burn it to disc and play on real hardware?

>>4148469

Some will stay the same but different others totally changed. Walls will still be walls you know but, done up..

And yeah completely hardware compatible.

Crash was poor mans Mario. When Sony decided to make a platformer, they thought they could be hot shit with a "3d" platformer. So they turned the side scrolling mario formula into a behind the back psuedo 3d formula and added some junk physics. All the while Mario 64 comes out a few months later with actual 3d platforming and a revolutionary method of 3d input and movement.

>>4151750
Not that anon, but considering I was more bored of playing Mario 64 then I was of Crash, then the former did a better job of being an actual platformer by going the more traditional route.

Anyways, Crash was less of a 'poor man's Mario' and more of a 'better DKC successor than DK64'..

>>4135508
thats not wipeout 3 special edition

>>4142869
Are you talking about the LSDRemake? That came out? I was following it until semi-recently and it wasn't close to being finished.

>>4151750
at least crash was an actual platformer instead of boring collectathon garbage

>when you get teleported to the hanging girl
probably the one thing that has scared me the most in any game ever

wait a minute, I thought this game was called LSD Dream Simulator but I keep getting results for LSD Dream Emulator

>>4155003
It's dream emulator. You think it's simulator because of all the "Simulator" games in recent years.

>>4154729
I know what you mean it felt all to scary

>>4155413
I might be remembering wrong, but IIRC, when you tried to walk away, you'd get teleported back to her. the only way to get away was to make a new link.

>>4155447
So she has some kind of, force field on you?

I mean not force field, a tracker beam.

>>4135508
Anybody got a link to this game? I tried the Japanese version that's on emu but it refuses to work for some reason.

>>4155726
Do you have it for mednafen?

I need to replay this.

3d models explored..

space man

the head outside monument park that shoots kanji at you and flys into space

the head in the bed thats meant to be you sleeping and so on.

>>4156815
>you sleeping
you mean the girl in the bed, who occasionally shows up as a skeleton?

>>4156846
>occasionally shows up as a skeleton
Yes, that means she's dead.

floating castle

rocket.

fishy

sunken city

I liked the part where you get teleported to the top of a skyscraper and the only thing you can do then is jump

the entrance where theres peacocks.

looking for grey man model.

>>4157020
It seems like a bug, maybe they kept it in cause creep

crystals

>>4157024
I'm sure suicide is an intentional theme of the game

dat buddha

Theyre just cool to look at, its actually pretty well made. If they had more resources it wouldnt come out choppy in gameplay imo.

Anyway now looking into modifying some of these polygons, I dont know if its possible.

>>4157035

i think this is in kyoto?

>>4135683
There is another game that is based on their own dream

look up

#21 The World

theres a complete something lodged inside the statue. considering the rendering of the PS1 shit like this would have slowed the game down.

A lot of these are mattes and overlays.
This one is the best looking one yet.

Like here i think they are using pre existing things for scale and jacking up the polygon rendering even though theyre set to invisible. Maybe removing all the dead polygons could dramatically improve the frame drops?

walking priest

This is all over the place, ive been removing other polygons from other files to make it more visible but its more than just a matte or overlay, theres complete portions from other parts of the game used for scale.

The problem with changing files on a PS1 is that it cant be bigger than the original file, because of LBAs. If there is a method for reinserting these TMDs, would be curious to see if it has any impact on the frame rate.

Anyway i just lost a few hours, gg.

>>4157223

osamu sato is a typical artist. he doesnt know how to optimize his 3d models for gameplay. LSD is already a low poly game and it runs at a shit framerate.

>>4157967

Im gonna agree he isnt anything special, but to get this released on the playstation is curious. He didnt do the whole game himself too you know, plus budget, plus new 3d ideas. He works in advertising mostly.

Maybe some parts of it will benefit with losing some extra polygons. Im not sure if it will work im going to test it, but i do know the game slows heaps down in parts like happy town and stuff so im gonna go in with a hex editor and little to no knowledge and hope my playstation doesnt chew the disc

>this fucking game
Best late night/three sheets to the wind game there is.

I played with some models. Theres signs of promise. I have to brute force all things to see if it will actually work, but promising. Ill dig up another post if anything happens after im done, will take a while and got other things to do.

>>4160268
nice work anon. what software do you use to rip the models?

>>4154723

>>4160458

rip tmds (models) with psx multi ripper
open in milkshape
export to DXF
convert with DXF2RSD and RSDTOOL

hexediting.

Im just gonna try every single possible thing to see if i can manipulate it. A lot of things to trial, just keep bashing it and hope it works.

hey vr I dont post here often but one thing I have been wondering I played this ps1 game long time ago at a friends house it was just like mini games but in one of the animations like in the opening or some shit there's a guy with a cannon in a drum on his back.

>>4135508
How are you getting widescreen?, what emulator are you using, is there any way to better the render distance via emulation

>>4162540

new version of epsxe renders the water correctly at the expense of some wobble effect when you stay still sometimes. Worth it though, also widescreen.

>>4162468

>>4151779
>Crash was less of a 'poor man's Mario' and more of a 'better DKC successor than DK64'..

Truer words have never been spoken. I have always said that Crash 1 feels exactly like DKC1 but in 3d.
It has the same theme, similar leverl progression, the same saving and checkpoint system, and the same overworld.
Not to mention animal buddies, single world gimmicks, and just the same general premise of linear platforming levels.

WHY YOU DO THIS

Im following a trail of resident evil modders who have done hardcore mods to ps1 isos including changing models, so im not trialling anything until i get a hold of them. The best ones only speak spanish so im going to be all hablo on their ass, take a little time to tee it up.

Starting looking into this game because of this thread, found this
https://sites.google.com/site/dreamemulatorincident/epilogue
The broken english adds to the creepiness. Is the tidbit about the creator a fact?

>>4176829
That's a trash-tier creepypasta, my man.
And fuck no, that bit isn't. Osamu Sato is still alive, retard.
http://www.osamusato.net/
Not to mention that bit about the dream journal is wrong. It's based on the dream journal of a female coworker of Osamu Sato, not his own dreams.

>>4176832
wikipedia begs to differ about the dream journal, they attribute it to the creator.
source on your claim?

>>4176834
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/lsd/lsd.htm
The abridged version of the dream journal that came with the special edition of the game is probably what wikipedia was talking about, as I think Osamu Sato wrote that version.

Is there any chance of LSD getting an English translation patch? I enjoy its otherworldly and clunky charm, I just feel like it was a waste of a dream whenever I get a screen full of nothing but text. Likewise I don't mind the Japanese text in the save/load menus but it'd be nice to have it all in english

>>4176839
thanks, very informative link
damn, I want a physical copy of this game

>>4156812
How do I acquire this software?

>>4176858
Getting a modchip for a PS1 is trivial, there's no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on that stuff

LSD just isn't the same without the dithering, warped textures and aliasing.

>>4151750
Sony didn't have anything to do with Crash. It wasn't corporate. Naughty Dog came up with the concept of a "Sonic's ass" game when they were just two guys. Look up how Crash happened, there's a really good series of articles somewhere.

>>4176875

Just mod a ps2 instead.

>>4177204
Well, I recommended PS1 because A - PS1 is a much less advanced mod, soldering-wise, and B - PS2 isn't /vr/

>>4177674
but ps1 via ps2 pops loader/ burned disc is VR

>>4176841
OK anon, ill do this today.

It wont take a few hours if im gonna do it ill do it right. I already have a most of it ready but its a mess. prob in a few days or something.

>>4180235
wat.

>>4180707
>>4176841

>>4180734
Huh, I thought you were just shitposting. Like when people reply to requests with just "sent ;^)"

If you actually want to do it that'd be great, I'm sure others would appreciate it as well. Take your time and do a good job, don't feel like you need to rush it

Has anyone actually ever beaten LSD? I've played to day 150, but it's already unbearable and repetitive by like day 20. And that's already going at a very very slow pace.

I really wish there was at least one new thing to find every day, and not just texture swaps. And it repeats itself so fucking much. I realize that recurring dreams are a thing, but that's not exactly interesting or deep or really anything to justify it.

>>4181019

If you have the dream journal you can see how it works in a lot of the game. Its more of an interactive art exhibition than an actual game.

best ps1 gaem was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCtZIlolG6w

>>4182271

thats a sexy dinosaur

>>4182463
thanks

>>4181019
I think it's more of something you experience for a little bit each day and see where the dreams take you. Maybe play a day or two at a time. Not something to be "beaten" as a traditional game would. As the other anon said it's more of an art exhibit than a game.

>>4182271
Not a game

Is it true that running on real hardware, the water doesn't flash like it does in emulation?
I've never actually been able to find anything with the game running on a real PS1.

>>4185764

Yeah its how its meant to be, normal water. also latest epsxe makes it work right

>>4191365

>>4194296
You don't have to bump the thread, as >>4191323 posted, he'll make a post for it when he's all set. No need to bug him about it in the meantime.

>>4192391
What's the point of even "translating" it when there's no text?

>>4196240
There isn't "much" text, but what little there is does get somewhat annoying. Like when you get a dream that consists of nothing but a wall of Japanese words. Feels like a waste, IMO. Regardless, he offered to just do it so I got no complaints. Having a translated save screen is nice as well.

>>4194410
Don't you see? Waiting and watching? That's not what this game is all about.

Are all these images from the original PS1 game upscaled and perspective-fixed? Or from the in-progress remake? The widescreen presentation leads me to believe the latter but I am not very learned on this game

>>4206374
Yes it's from the original PS1.

>>4206381
Nice. How do you emulate it so cleanly? What settings/patches do you use?

>>4206404
I use PCSXR-PGXP. I set the settings to high and usually to where it fixes the glitchy colors people most have with epsxe and i have the widescreen hack enabled with PGXP

>>4207908
>>4207927
the FMV reel was really nice. all of the videos had real artistic merit, and had a very genuine "dreamlike" feel to them.

I just wish they could have spread the videos out a bit over the course of the game, instead of bombing you with them all at once as soon as you got the right dream combo.

>>4207757
it has a large open world you can move around in.

whenever you touch something, you'll make a "link" with it, and you'll get teleported into another part of the world. different objects will teleport you to different places. making a link will also change some things in the world, like which textures are used, which characters and objects are present, etc etc. because of this, the same area may feel very different depending on which circumstances you visit it under.

when 10 minutes has passed, or you fall off a ledge, or if you touch certain creatures, your dream ends and you'll wake up. depending on which objects you linked with and which areas you visited, your dream will be evaluated on a dream chart. as you unlock certain combinations of different dreams on the chart, you'll unlock shit like trippy FMV videos.

It's fun but clearly unoptimized, LSD 2 would make for a great babies first homebrew.
