/vr/ - Retro Games

Good luck anon, quality replies are tough to get now. Sadly I have nothing to add since I don’t know shit about pc 98

For me, it's Flame Zapper Kotsujin, Rusty, and Corpse Party.

>>6802056
> I don’t know shit about pc 98
its mostly h games and shumps with some quality action games, sadly my old roommate installed an emulator for me on my old computer that is now dead and I'm too much of a brainlet to do it my self :(

I'll look into it I tried doing it before but found it all very confusing

My Ap2 seems to have developed a fault where it'll randomly act like the stop key is being held down. It's not the keyboard itself since it happens even with no keyboard connected. Guess it's time to open it up and check for leaky caps, since I'm sure they've never been changed.

>>6802056
So like everyone else in these shitty threads.

Did that guy fucking POWAH GEYSAH a kobold

Currently playing some Bomber Quest. The whole thing is fucking stupid, but in a kinda good way. Plus it's pretty easy as soon as you've figured out how to build mazes without blocking youself.

been enjoying GAGE recently thanks to Mr.Richard's translation, it's genuinely good stuff

>>6802035
it's incredible the amount of good music on pc98 and pc88

>>6802079
neko project 2 is easy to use

Anyone know where to find the english version of Rose Blood?

>>6802056
You aren't missing anything. Just a bunch of thorhighheels viewer zoomers jerking off.

Right now there is the language barrier which prevents me from enjoying these games. Recently I have learned about the phone app which finds and translates any text from taken photo. But this makes progress slow, since you constantly have to take pictures to see next translation. My question is, maybe naive, is there some screen capturing soft, which will automatically find and translate text on screen in realtime?

>>6805080
I saw a setup ones with a guy that had his phone on a tripod like device placed over one monitor that was actively translating the game while using another monitor to play the game, he had to look back and forth to play the game tho. I am also curious if you could just have a realtime screen capture translator thing, that would be cool as hell.

>>6805104

>>6805080
Retroarch can do it but requires some setup

>>6805226
this looks promising, thanks for the suggestion, I had no idea retroarch could do this.
>>6805104
Active translation would be good to, maybe its hidden in different settings in the app somewhere. It was part of the google go app.

>>6805479
>>6805226
I'd really like to see something similar for manga RAWs, for some bizzare reason Google image translation service is only awailable on android and not on PC, haven't found a way to integrate it ino browser so that it'd translate on the fly. There was supposed to be a plugin for that, but it doesen't work.

Nice selection Anon. Plus there's a good lot of PC-88 ports, so it can also guide fellow anons to some nice PC-88 goodness.

Just as a reminder for everyone ; all PC-98 fan translations, plus a few hacked images, there : https://mega dot nz/folder/XOgTmRib#nz82208F6w5yLGMU_L13dw

Sounds like the perfect system for me. I only properly got into retro stuff recently, so I'll check it out. I only got 2 questions.
Do you play with a keyboard or can you use a controller? This will tell me if it's better to emulate on PSP/phone with controller or the laptop I got connected to my TV.
Do you suggest the use of shaders/filters like we do to simulate CRTs, or is it not needed?

>>6807195
>console
what part of pc 98 do you not understand?

>>6807983
>what part of pc 98 do you not understand?
Everything that plays games are consoles for zoomers, and the programs in a computer are apps. My hatred for zoomers grows every minute that goes by.

>>6807916
Many games support controllers, but not all. Most use few enough buttons that they could easily be mapped to a controller, though. H-games often make use of a mouse. Shaders are a personal thing, but most actual PC-98 monitors don't really have visible scanlines. And by the mid-'90s lots of people played on laptops with LCD monitors anyway.

>>6807127
Reiko.

>>6808093
Thank you fren. Guess I'll play on my TV from the confort of my couch with a keyboard, then. The only games I played before were Touhou ones, but they came with a custom .exe which was like an emulator but pretty much double click and play.

So what if I don't want glorified eroge? Are there any other gems hidden there that I can't experience another way? I can read moon, so that's not an obstacle.

>>6809154
honestly there are a lot of good games for the pc 98 (rusty for example) even some of the h games like briganty are pretty decent

>>6806798
Max is going to murder that poor fuck

>>6808016
are you saying you boomers didn't call your NES games nintendo apps?

>>6809349
I know you're being sarcastic. I'm not a boomer, since I'm only 27, but no, they didn't. I think zooms started calling computer programs apps around when Windows 8 came out, due to the launch of the Windows store that had you download "apps".

>>6809196
Yeah, so like what? I'm looking for examples. I know of Rusty, I also have been playing a bit of Power Dolls and Schwarzchild.

>>6802035
how the fuck do I bind keyboard keys to gamepad in retroarch?
I want to emulate pc98 stuff on my consoles but not having a keyboard almost makes it impossible, I can't play touhou without the slow down down key

>>6813571
>I can't play touhou without the slow down down key
doujinstyle has the old Touhou games and they come with a neat launcher with multiple options. or just use joy2key

>>6813620
I can play them just fine on PC but I want to play them on the various consoles that support retroarch, like the SNES mini, the PSVITA or pretty much anything, I can't figure out how to remap those keyboard keys because retroarch is crap

>>6808016
I hope you get a stroke by zoomers

>>6805937
Speaking of soul I love all the different equipment they have and can change in the middle of the battle. Shame I can't grasp what their effects are.

>>6814129
With trial and error you can manage to make some pretty powerful builds. Except for Yuka. Yuka is always shitty, except in Lakers 3 where she kicks major ass.

>>6810312
Dead of the Brain, Makyouden. Both machine-translated.
Plus you can play a few VNs on asenheim with PC-98 art and music (Desire, Eve Burst Error, Seasons of Sakura...)
Also, Yu-No for Windows is basically a PC-98 enhanced port.

Nice

>>6802493 here. Got my PC-98 stripped down to the motherboard, which, as anticipated, was a fairly tedious process due to all the cages and backplanes and whatnot that have to be removed. Good news is that I don't see any obvious signs of damage from leaking caps so far. Bad news is there are a shitload of them, and they're mostly this weird SMD package that I don't think is possible to get anymore, so they'll have to be replaced with radial through-hole caps. They also seem to be glued in place, which is making them trickier to remove than they should be. Thanks, NEC.

>>6817187
In comparison with PC-FX

>>6817779
What about it? The PC-FX is a completely different and incompatible platform.

>>6816046
I just now remembered that I have a sealed copy of the PC version of this game that I got free with some other old computer stuff forever ago. Wonder if it has an OPL version of this track.

>>6819167
Neat. I don't have any sealed PC98 games.

You can bring one PC98 franchise back to the modern day for a successful reboot and mass appeal. What do you pick?

Porn series allowed but become regular ecchi instead.

>Isaku+Shuusaku+Kisaku
This so much, something with a fourth Itou brother continuing the trend of satirizing a current problem of otaku. But what would it be?

>>6823579
The usual blackmail, rape, and stuff.

>>6823250
I forgot to mention that I'm a fan of Elf.
Too bad they run out of business years ago.
https://vndb.org/p131

>>6822895
I played those on Saturn and Windows
These threads are a trip for me 'cause I played so many PC-98 ports on other platforms but never the PC-98 originals

>>6823682
Yes but everyone had their own twist
>Isaku pits love (Kenta) vs rape (Isaku)
>Shuusaku has both the girls and the ugly bastard call you out on the heinous things you do to them
>Kisaku is about being an outright monster to the victims though capable of something heartwarming when raising his grandaughter. Also touches upon Heisei Recession and corporate culture

>>6823798
I played the DOS version.
Some are Chinese translated by Taiwanese companies.
>>6824005
I don't understand the gameplay in Shuusaku.
After finishing the last day, it seems to rewind to the first day but with the ponytail girl helping(?) Shuusaku.
Can you tell me what's going on?
>grandaughter
Also who's that loli in Kisaku game?
I haven't played Kisaku much, but I saw a loli in Kisaku artbook.
It seems Kisaku is taking care of her.

>>6807195
If NEC use it on PC Engine hardware.

>>6818139
I think he meant taking it apart and repair, in comparison to the PC-FX

>>6817187
Looks like you'd have enough clearance to where it shouldn't be an issue.

>>6824386
No idea. Don't own one.

>>6824484
Yeah, clearance shouldn't be a problem. Just extra work because I'll have to shape the legs to mate with the pads.

Guys that emulate PC98 games, do you apply any filters?

>>6824960
The last time I emulated PC98 games it was on a CRT monitor, if that counts.

>>6824089
Do you mean Eri? Is she helping him get naughty pictures or having sex with him?

> that loli in Kisaku game?
I've never gotten to her, but the book seems to give some hint on how make her appear. Apparently she is the daughter or grand-daughter of some woman Kisaku had sex long ago.
The anime (which is completely different from game) has her as some kind of guardian from the Afterlife, who monitors Kisaku's ghost when he returns to Earth.

>>6802076
What shmups beside this and that shitty Touhou?

>>6826194
>Eri
Yes, she's the only who can't be blackmailed because it seems she's the most cautious girl in Shuusaku.
I think Shuusaku tries to rape her in the last day but it can lead to a bad ending where Shuusaku run away from the house and gets hit by a car.
I think if you avoid the bad ending, it's like you rewind the time and start from the beginning again.
But in the second loop, Eri is the one who's cooking (see pic), usually it's Shuusaku who does all the chores (cooking, heating water for bath, etc).
I don't know what's going on because I don't understand Nip.
I need to play the DMM version, it's animated.
>Kisaku's ghost
Kisaku Spirit? I watched it too, but the graphic looks inferior compared to the prequel where Kisaku dies at the end (car accident).

>>6826583
>Eri cooking

>>6823038
>>6823250
Nice to see Lakers get some love.

>>6826614
I can't read much either, I think she is the only one to keep her memories after the time loop.
As you usually have to balance your schedule including the school keeper chores and the blackmailing. try focusing only on taking pictures and fucking of the girls now that she does all the work.

>>6827268
I didn't finish the second loop(?) because it's tedious to repeat all those chores and blackmailing.
I put (?) because I'm not even sure if it's a time loop.
I'll play this game soon, it's been more than 10 years since I played Shuusaku.

So what if I'm an unrepentant coomer and looking for some bakunyuu-level breasts. Are there any PC98 games I should check out?

>>6827831
Lakers >>6802190
She gets her breast upgraded in each sequel.

>>6816193
While her breasts are sugoi, she's not a short stack.

>>6816193
While her breasts are sugoi, she's not a short stack.

>>6827978
Honestly they're pretty much the same size when nude in games 2 and 3, it's just you see her a lot more often in the 3 game and they pushed the "taxing her tops" look.

>>6828313
>pretty much the same size
You might be right, but the way the artist drew her is different in 2 and 3.
In 2, her breasts are round and look like silicon tits.
In 3, her breasts are kinda saggy and like lump of meat, so it gives me the impression that her breasts are bigger.
And the transformation scenes in 3 makes the girls' breasts bouncing.

How can I run otome senki?

>>6828364
PC-98?
Emulators.
Neko project is easy to setup.

>>6828389
it's formatted normally as files

>>6828389
It's formatted normally as files and I can't run it due to compatibility (its 16bit)

>>6828426
As far as I know Otome Senki in PC-98, I don't know if you can run it in other platform.
You want to run a 16-bit application in Win 10?
There's a way to do it, but I haven't tried it so I don't know if it works.
You can install Win XP or something in VirtuaBox or Virtual PC.

>>6828426
>It's formatted normally as files and I can't run it due to compatibility (its 16bit)
That's why you use an emulator, the game doesn't run natively on windows.

>>6827564
Not gay.

No entry in vndb and pc98.org.
It's one of my favorite too.
Looks like some kind of detective RPG in London early 19th century.

>>6829384
kinda looks like a wild arms game based off of the cover

>>6829384
>Delete this

>>6829785
Wild Arms theme is the Wild West, this one is 19th century European.
Both have guns.

Power DoLLS already had its remake and the series was doing well in the 2000s.
https://www.kogado.com/sw/contents/usagi/pdone/index.html

A kind anon shared the isos for most of the series a few months back.

>>6830720
>Power DoLLS
I was introduced to eroge when Megatech localized some eroge into English.
Cobra Mission, Metal & Lace, Knights of Xentar are first eroge I played.
I know most of Megatech games from a PC game magazine.
Read about Power DoLLS which was localized by Megatech.
Aw yiss new hentai!
Played a bit, was expecting boobs and vagene.
Confused because I didn't get what I expected.
>Megatech localized
And I thought Megatech developed those games.

>>6821287
that one sci-fi billiard erotic game, without hesitation. i'd even do it myself if i had any coding skill, because i think porn+billiard is an efficient concept that could be very fun and successful. plus the sci-fi background is original.
i forgot the name of the game but if someone is interested i'll look for it

>>6830803
>Confused because I didn't get what I expected.
Yeah, I understand the disappointment when you only get some very tame CGs.
I too played their other games in the early 2000s and enjoyed Cobra Mission and Knights of Xentar with its funny localization.
Metal & Lace was awful but the Japan only sequel Ningyou Tsukai 2 is surprizingly decent for an ero fighting game.

>>6830853
Hustler 2055? Dat brown girl.

>>6830946
>Dat brown girl
That's Casca in aerobics gear.

>>6830946
I also played the NR13 version of Metal & Lace and Knights of Xentar first before playing the NR18 version.
I didn't know Megatech released 2 versions of the game since M&L and was kinda disappointed with the lack of boobs & vagene.
I was a horny teen back then.

>>6831610
Same
At the time I played a lot of Xentar, and True Love too. Shit was so cash.
I only got the catgirl ending a fews months ago, though.

>>6831923
Someone made a demo of KoX 3D.
I found the video a few months ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhGfG6BKUDI
True Love has a consolation price (yaoi ending) if you fail to get any girls.
I think the yaoi ending requirement are you fail to get any girls and you lend a video game called Final Fuck 7 (parody of FF7) to your buddy.
No CG for the yaoi ending though.
I played a dating sim (no stat training) game before True Love with a similar consolation price but with some CG.
I was surprised because that's the first time I was exposed to that kind of stuff.

>>6830720
Oh man! I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up.

Master of Monsters series.
I played the DOS port in mid 90s, then replayed the Windows version like 4-5 years ago.
Battle of Wesnoth was inspired by this game.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Monsters

Gray Stone Saga - Demon's Fountain (グレイストンサーガ 魔界の泉).
I remember playing this game.
I think there are 2 or 3 protagonists with their own team and story line.
I choosed the one who looks like a swordsman.

>>6833168
It seems I was wrong, there are 4 protagonists.
I choosed the last one.

>>6833078
>http://fairygam3.appspot.com/game/rpg/mtj.html
That would be Metajo.

https://www.mobygames.com/game/metajo-furitsu-metatopology-daigaku-fuzoku-joshi-kk-sp

Actually surprisingly playable even without knowing Japanese. I finished the two games in the series, they were nice.

>>6824960
A bit of anti-aliasing for games with heavy vertical dithering (such as Night Slave) or PC-88 straight ports is always nice. But you can also use ReShade with NP2 Fmgen (D3D9 backend) so all the common CRT filters should be avaliable. I use Geom myself.

>>6832131
I actually had the option for the yaoi ending at the end of the game even after getting all girls minus Remi. It may depend on your passion meter or something.

>>6817187
>caps
You see these in the Gamegear as well. They're actually through-hole caps with a plastic shell around them.

>>6833226
Reimi (smart) & Miyuki (art) are based girls.
I think I remember there's some kind of conflict between the girls.
If I'm not wrong, at the end of your days you setup two dates with different girls at the same time (at your house?).
Both girls come to your house and found out you're two timing them.
They get angry and leave you, so you can't get their ending.
I think one of the girl is either Reimi or Miyuki.

>>6833150

This game seems so much more complicated than Princess Maker 1. There are 1000 more stats to juggle and I'm paralyzed thinking about how to balance out my schedule for the type of ending I want. I did love the first game even though the combat was shit. Is it any better in the second game, or will I have to dread doing errantry again?

I've also been told by some I should just play the DOS version but what exactly are the benefits of that? Or should I go with PC-98?

>>6835040
It's not that complicated.
>Is it any better in the second game, or will I have to dread doing errantry again?
The combat is still minimalist but you'll still want to explore for events and some sweet items.

As for DOS vs PC-98, they're the same except for the DOS version being in English.

>>6835126
>It's not that complicated.
It's complicated if you want certain endings. Job endings seem to be the easiest.

>>6834656
>>6834698
>>6834854
I must ask someone to draw Natsune wearing Titty Monster t-shirt.

>>6835241
I mean the cast is pretty standard for that era of early 90s.
And then there's Natsune.

>>6835302
Chiaki's breasts are pretty big too compared to the other girls.
Natsune is at a different level.

>>6835318
>Natsune brings ICBMs to a gun fight.

>>6835302
She's a pretty cool character overall (and the best one on the battlefield, on par with Chiaki). But they really went totally over the top in the tit department. They just look like gigantic water-filled condoms in most of the Lakers III h-scenes. Kind of a shame, because it makes everything look disturbing instead of arousing. At least she looked like a human being in the first game.

Seems updated, if anyone was looking for the currently fan translated games

>>6835201
It's still fun going in blind and do a few playthrough to get the hang of stats, money management and stumbling upon events. A game is short enough.

My best ending before reading about the ending conditions was pic related.

>>6834656
>94 cm bust
>with 170 cm height and 58cm waist

Those look like 120cm at least

>>6834698
>>6834854
Height 170 cm
Weight 50 kg
How many kg are her breasts?

All this measurement stuff made me remember, even though Natsune was drawn more and more bustamongous each game, the only girls who changed measurements were Chiaki and Yuka.

>>6836162
Between Lakers II and III, Chiaki lost 6cm off her bust.

>>6836165

>>6836168
Likewise, the same 6cm reduction happened to Yuka. The other girls are unchanged.

Anime trash

Pc-98 threads are so fucking awesome. We can debate during days and days about inconsequent breast sizes and shit.

Btw are there some games akin to Lakers, ie tactical games with cool character designs and original settings ? Don't mind if there are tits in it or not, as soon as it's not to make up for a shitty game.

Are the Foxy and Shangrlia series worth it ? I have some soft spot for Elf stuff, but don't speak enough nihongese for vns.

In high school, I would skip class to go to the library (except in computer class) and would run this shitty old pc-98 emulator to play th05 every single day. I pretty put my eyes through torture every day trying to beat it on lunatic. I miss this feeling dearly, its been so long.

>>6836162
>>6836165
Her breasts looks bigger in Lakers 3 CG.
>>6836168
>>6836173
70s something suits her more.
Her breasts should be the smallest.

>>6836225
Tried one of the pc98 tuhu years ago because of popularity of the doujin.
Damn bullet hells are too hard for me.
I'm not even good at playing shmup.

>>6836210
Through breasts, unity

I've had the urge of playing a PC-98 game again.

Sadly I'm EOP so my options are very limited. Last one I played was Brandish 2 (good game btw)

>>6836819
Those Farland series are translated.

>>6836210
Not as good as Lakers, but you can give Horny Sweeper or Dennou Sentai Lavian Three a try.
Reijyu Twin Road feels a bit like an ero Shining Force.
And if you like monster girls, try The Beast Breeders.

>>6836975
>Reijyu Twin Road
Finished that game, but I think I played the Chinese port.
There's also Amaranth series (no hentai), some are RPG, others are SRPG.

>>6836881
Oh yeah. I forgot about those. Thanks anon

>>6836985
No problem, anon.
Those Farland series are not hentai though.

At the risk of looking like a fucking retard, I want to make some PC-98 music for a game I'm "working" on but I'm not sure where to start.
It looks like the only methods of making it are PMD, with mostly Japanese-only documentation or BambooTracker I found through randomly searching.
Any help? I can just fuck off and look some more.

>>6833228
Yeah, they're the same as the Game Gear ones. They're not actually through-hole though, just an unusual SMD package.

>>6834991
But it's low radiation! That means I'll have less cancer than with one of those high radiation CRTs.

>>6836975
Thanks for these suggestions anon, I'll check them out.

Is Narusawa Yui's theme in YU-NO?
I saw 2 videos in youtube with Yui's theme.
Narusawa Yui is a character in Doukyuusei 2, MC is a freeloader in her house.

>>6836985
Make sure to play the original difficulty versions, BTAxis fucked with difficulty settings and made games 3 to 6 painful. You still have the last boss of 3 and a good 5-6 missions of 6 pretty annoying because of shitty weapons modifications that can't be reverted except by hacking, but nothing too serious.

>>6836975
I downloaded the games and fired up Beast Breeders, and it's fucking awesome. The spritework and animations remind me a bit of Breath of Fire, and the character design is great. Plus icon driven menu, very nice for an almost eop like me. Thanks again, I never heard about it (nor Reijyu Twin Road and Dennou Sentao Lavian for the matter)

>>6837226
I already played a bit of Last Guardian and Amaranth KH but had no idea about Romance wa Tsuguri. It looks pretty cool from what I've seen online. Thanks for the suggestion anon !

>>6837929
How come FM is so good even compared to MT32/SC55 ? What went so right ?

>>6838869
Reijuu Twin Road
battle map

Not knowing jack shit about japanese language how much would I be able to enjoy the library of pc98?

>>6838869
Reijuu Twin Road
This game has 2 groups who are separated because of an incident at the start of the game.
One group is lead by the male MC, the other group is lead by the female MC.
Each group has its own path and story and recruit different NPC.
Eventually they reunited at some point.
This is the female MC group in battle map.

>>6838925
Battle animation.
Right one is a knight whom the female meets before the battle.

>>6838872
FM is FM, MT-32 and SC-55 are MIDI. One is good for synthetic sounds, other was made for reproducing acoustic instruments. They're just different beasts.

>>6838925
Looks nice !

>>6838940
I know, but for games that have both options such as Night Slave or Brigantry, the FM soundtrack is always way better. Composers really knew how to get the best from these chips.

>>6838994
FM is kinda rubbish at drums and can't do anything resembling a piano.

And for games that have both FM and MIDI, they're usually IMO both worth listening to.

The first two games are kinda mediocre imo. Bests are 3, 4 and 6. 5 is okay but some maps are pretty boring and you always have a small party because your characters are always split for some reason.
Haven't played through 7 yet. Just a couple missions.

I played Amaranth III, an RPG in Amaranth series.
Just noticed that Satoshi Urushihara did some illustration for this game.
I recognized the art in cover and checked the credit page in mobygames.
https://www.mobygames.com/game/pc98/amaranth-iii/credits

>>6839162
As much as I love his style, I never actually sat down and have experienced any of his works that weren't porn. I really need to rectify that.

>>6838914
You can play Touhou and the like without knowing Japanese.
Most of the other games are very text heavy, but some have been translated.

>>6839306
>that weren't porn
Me too.
Satoshi is the artist of Langrisser & Langrisser series, but I never play any of these games.
Maybe someday.

>>6839846
Hoping for a Plastic Little remaster some day.

I found a company that remade some of its retro game.
It's First Queen series by KSK (Kure Software Koubou).
http://www.kure.sakura.ne.jp/FQ1NEXT/src/story.html

Horny Sweeper series (2 games) by Mugen.
This game has similar interface with Farland series but it's porn.
I doubt TGL did porn, except a bit nudity.
Maybe Mugen is a circle by TGL guys.
Character screen.

>>6840157
Battle screen.

>>6840157
Totally TGL. Mugen is one of their "Adult" brands, with Giga.
First Horny Sweeper was so easy it was boring. Auto healing, auto level up. The lewds were cool, but for these, you've got e-hentai.
Is the second game any better ?

>>6840389
I haven't played any of the Horny Sweeper series.
Those are just screenshots from Mobygames.
I'm gonna try playing them someday.
I love Farland series.

What's the best Variable Geo game, any console?

>>6841613
I only play VG in PC, but VG Max is the best because the control is fluid, not clunky.
Tried earlier version of VG, but it's hard to control.

>>6840389
Isn't Giga the one who made Variable Geo series?

>>6842479
Yes. They made Steam Heart's and Brigantry, too.

Yeah it's old enough it was from the VHS era, so they produced by Subbed and Dubbed versions.

>>6848010
They did a few. Foxy was mentioned earlier in this thread, and there's of course Dragon Knight IV.

help me guys, ITHVNR doesn't work anymore on my computer, it doesn't hook any text.
I tried Textractor, same problem.
I tried the OCR program Font Based Character Recognizer and it doesn't launch on my computer (Windows 10).

What other programs should I try? I have a preference for OCR, is there anything good that can capture a region of the screen constantly?

What does the PC-98 have in store for people who don't care about VNs or cooming?

>>6848437
7-8 GB of games in archive.org

>>6848115
I actually tried to watch it subbed, it was terrible. Ugly art, sub-par story, and even the porn is boring af. A massive disappointment, because I really enjoyed the games.

>>6848985
Watch Doukyuusei series.
It has 2 seasons, and several OVAs.

>>6848316
Can text grabbers be use to get text from PC98 emulators?

>>6849497
yes, normally, for most games

Doukyuusei 1 was my first dating sim and I don't play much dating sims.
Only Doukyuusei series and True Love (because it's in English).
I also played that Flash game called SimGirl, the early version with only 1 girl Saeki.
But SimGirl is a fan made game based on a manga DNA2.

>>6852863
I'm just here to Lakerspost.

>>6852927
How interesting/hard does the gameplay get in Lakers? I played through to the first battle and it was mostly just repeatedly clicking Attack until everything died (which wouldn't be too terrible, except for how slow everything was). Just wondering if the whole game would be like that or if there would be more strategy required.

I'd love to start playing pc-98 games, but i don't know shit... Someone could guide me?

- how much japanese is actually needed to put this in motion?
- which is the go to emulator? Is it something like the usual emulators, where you just open a program and select a file, or is it something more like dosbox?
- is there such a thing as a "complete romset" or sorta i could dl to try?

Thanks

>>6854684
>How much Japanese?
You don't need much - there are some good English guides and some fan translations - but I don't think PC-98 is great for EOPs. YMMV.
>Which emulator is go-to?
gang-fight.com/projects/98faq/
njoi
>Is there a complete archive?
The NEC-9801 torrent on the Internet Archive is pretty much complete - and if you're EOP, you won't want to touch anything that's not in there. Be warned: it's a huge amount to just grab like that. I'd pick a few titles that look interesting from this thread and just download those to start.

>>6854737
I'm not that EOP, it just i'm kinda looking for reasons to learn japanese and books, but with the current pandemic is kinda hard. At least in my country. Thank you!

>>6854684
it's kind like dosbox (or PCem because you setup the hardware too), but some of the roms have boot system included so it boots the pc98 and automatically runs the game.

Tried textractor to grab the text of Taiko Risshiden 2 (DOS/V) in DosBOX.
Only get gibberish text.
Anyone knows how to do it?

Imagine, WORLD OF HORROR get popular, and PC98 games are the next indie craze.

When I said gibberish, it's actually some kind of random letters in capslock.
I think the encoding in JIS/Shift-JIS or anything else use hex values.
I remember I can make those kanji using the numpads in DOS/V.
I also use DOSJP (a TSR program to encode japanese text) in DosBOX, otherwise the game shows gibberish text instead of japanese.

>>6856742
Some of those 'aesthetics' games such as your Virgin Angel have such daft writing that I give them a skip on principle.

Windows ports of shangrlia 1 and 2 came with yuno which is admittedly the only reason I know about these games. Pretty damn fun game that I stayed up way too late playing when I found that out. For those who don't want to figure out the japanese you get 1 named character of various classes after winning an area which can level up into a better version if it gets the last hit on enemies. The only way to get more of a unit is to clone them by spending their turn attacking the egg things. The clones can't level but will be upgraded if the original was leveled up. Enemies can also clone. I haven't figured out a strategy to beat the whole game yet but so far I've been pretty successful saving the eggs level one and trying to last hit with the knight girl (can't remember the name) and then running back to clone her after she hits level 2 before finishing them off. You can start with a bunch of upgraded knights which makes getting level 3 clones out a lot easier. Not sure if anyone really cares about playing these games or if they just like the look or something but this is pretty much the only place to discuss strategy for this random game nobody I know irl has heard of.

>>6856915
the monk might even be a little bit better to focus on since at lvl 3 she has such absurd attack for a character you get so early. She can keep one shotting enemies for a good while so you don't have to worry about retaliation damage. Where I always fall apart is when you get the mounted girls and the golem nerd, my upgraded early units hold their own but trying to get levels in on those guys is tough with how weak they come into the game. They always end up underdeveloped and whatever girl im rolling with from the early battles starts to run out of steam until I die.

>>6853489
>>6856952

I actually gave these a try lately, so thanks for these infos. I absolutely love strategy games and this one looks very cool.
I might give the fowy series a try, too.

>>6837012
There's a fair amount of people in the west writing for PMD. Just look around MML chiptune groups and you'll find people.

I personally prefer bamboo tracker. If you're new to FM you'll probably want to rip your instruments. If you do this use HOOT voice ripper. Use the files it outputs. You might need a .opn converter. Ask the Deflemask people for the converter since a few of them use it a ton.

Other options would be doing any other 4Operator FM synth + PCM. If you do this I would suggest sticking to proper chiptune software to maintain the sound. Deflemask (YM2151+PCM), VGMMM or some other MML compiler come to mind.

The info in english is out there, you just gotta look for it.

>>6852721
Besides their designs, they are nothing alike in story. one is a typical fighting game anime plot with shady organizations and the only fantasti element may be techniques, an evil clone or mind-control. The other is more like Evil Dead or Predator in how these regular people have to face aliens and monsters.

>click on /vg/
>see Lakers in the catalog
They're spreading

>>6853489
First game is quite easy. Second is way harder, but still manageable. It focuses a lot on reduced parties and equipment management. Third is dumbed down compared to 2, but a little bit more challenging compared to 1.

>>6856735
>Sofurin
what?

>>6859123
一般社団法人コンピュータソフトウェア倫理機構
It's sort of like the ESRB for eroge in Japan. It's the reason for all eroge heroines being "18+" and attending "学園" instead of high school or whatever, the recent restrictions on blood-related incest, hypnotism, rape, etc. Doujin games are free to ignore it, but commercial releases generally have to abide by Sofurin's rules if they want to sell in stores.

>>6859174
since when?

>>6834656
jeezuz, there has to be a limit to this

>>6859240
The organization has been around since 1992, but the regulations have changed over time. Like I think the age restrictions started sometime in the early 2000s, and they cracked down hard on non-consensual stuff around 10 years ago after the drama with Rapelay.

>>6859284
>rapelay
i know it was controversial in the west, but how was it in nipland?
there are tons of rape game in hentai, rapelay is a leaf in the forest.

>>6859293
It created enough of a stir to make Sofurin change their stance on it. That's why modern commercial nukige so often have such ridiculous plots, because they have to figure out a way to justify the scenes as "consensual" somehow, be it through corruption, blackmail, hypnotism (until that loophole was closed a few years ago), etc.

>>6859334
>created enough of a stir
becuase of the controversy in the west?
i doubt they care what happened in 2d if not because of those sjw in the west
>loophole was closed a few years ago
changed the rule again?
what't the current rule?

>>6859334
I hate jews and all but I don't mind seeing that go tb frank, I hate reading porn with a nice plot and then some character I like starts randomly raping/gets raped.

>>6859389
>I hate jews
Jesus you people are insufferable. What the hell does that have to do with any part of this discussion?

>>6859387
>becuase of the controversy in the west?
Well, the controversy in the West created some degree of controversy in Japan as well.
>i doubt they care what happened in 2d if not because of those sjw in the west
They do to some extent, which is the reason Sofurin exists in the first place. But yeah, the rules shift over time since it's just eroge companies regulating themselves, not based on actual laws or anything. I don't think they care so much about incest anymore, for example, but that was a thing for a while.

Also, I'm retarded, I was thinking of the rule change on drugged sex from a few years ago, not hypnotism. I got it mixed up with the Western release of Venus Blood: Hypno, which had to change its name because their payment processor refused to deal with hypnotism games.

New to the system, a few questions:
>Where would I find the most comprehensive list of English patches?
>Where in Neko Project 21/W do I set up a gamepad? (or do most games not use one?)
>What emulator should I use should I ever want to try the PC-88?

>>6859417
>controversy in Japan
is agnes-chan involved?
i remember there's a chink sjw who lives in japan named agnes-chan.
she tried to mess with loli in doujin and hentai manga.
>Venus Blood: Hypno
Venus Blood HOLLOW?

>>6859174
>recent restrictions on blood-related incest
So, YU-NO couldn't be sold in stores today? (Not sure if this Sofurin thing has any legal power, I imagine it's all voluntary like the ESRB).

>>6859502
>is agnes-chan involved?
Never heard of her, so no idea.

It has a lot of de-facto authority, similar to how most retailers in the US won't sell anything without an ESRB rating. And like I said, I don't think they really restrict incest now, but for a number of years it was an issue. So yeah, something like YU-NO would have had to be censored, or at least kept vague enough to skirt by the rules. At least, that's my understanding based on blog posts and tweets from eroge devs and such that I've read over the years, I'm not an expert on the subject or anything.

Yeah they censored some text in YU-NO in the Windows port, both for the number of years that had passed since YU-NO was born, and also for incest since that was during the Sofurin incest dark ages

Even on /vr/ there isn't much conversation about actual pc98 gameplay so glad to see someone else has played. I've just recently got into strategy games and have been loving this, haven't heard of fowy but be sure to post what you think. I've been stomping with kaori/nanami clones, the idea obviously being to use wizard girls to pump out damage while nanami clones act as a wall. The wagon girl (forgot her name) is even tankier, but you can use knights to clear out weaker enemies while wizards focus big guys.

Is it similar to DK4?
Since you mainly improved skills by killing enemies and the map design emphasized chokepoints I ended up mainly leveling ranged attackers like Natasha and Nereid who ended up ridiculously powerful while most melee troops turned out to be dead weight.

>>6861062
eh it's kind of a matter of which phase of the game you're in, you'll have to transition over to newer characters after a while and even most of the "melee" troops have spears or whatever giving them range. Also some of the melee characters have better speed to rush to cloning eggs before the opponent which is the only means of producing troops in this game. Also it means you have fewer enemies to fight than if they got them first. Admittedly the game isn't super sophisticated since both sides tend to mash into each other pretty quickly, which means it's more a game of choosing a good composition of units and getting setting up last hits for whoever you want to rank up.

Actually it's Foxy and not Fowy, sorry. Damn android keyboard.
NP, I'll be sure to get back to you after tinkering a bit with it.

Did they kept it in the remake ? The anime version got rid of it for both characters involved (solely keeping an awkward kiss at the beginning)
BTW, the anime art is generic as fuck and the voice acting is really lazy. Too bad, the story still holds pretty well nowadays.

Last night I tried a game called Horny Sweeper 2 expecting it to be erotic Minesweeper but it was actually yet another erotic SRPG. I'm starting to think these outnumber non-erotic SRPGs

I saw a Sakura Wars thread once where someone remarked that its strategy stuff was even more shallow than Lakers.

>>6861704
Sakura Wars is really frustrating, because it has awesome mech design and very beautiful combat animations. But fights require almost no strategy as the enemy is fucking stupid. Plus there's no level up mechanism, nor equipment managing. So yeah, Lakers is better in that aspect.

Seconding this question.

Wizardry I-VI on PC98 allows you to play them in English.

>>6861530
I don't really know; I've heard the remake is based heavily on the Saturn version, though, which didn't censor the text, just didn't show details of sex scenes

I miss the mahjong fantasia series.

>>6861928
That's a shame. I always thought the concept was neat.

How does the new game compare in that regard?

I've just beaten the first two maps of the first game. It's an interesting take on the genre, plus it plays very fast compared to most strategy games I played. Very fun little game.

Have you tried the Windows remake?

>>6869424
No, I think I'll finish the originals first.

>>6805080
get the android emulator ldplayer and install google translate in it.
one of the camera options in ldplayer is actually a live screen capture.
so you can run google translate with live translation of your computer screen.
i was playing evangelion 2 that way
