This and this.
http://www.emu999.net/rom/PC98/2011/41102.html

Are two old interesting Gundam strategy games.

There are also a ton of eroges.

I don't know what I might want to look for but my old project was trying to collect a massive mecha library of games for /m/ and as I stated Iost it and I'm not doing it again.

http://www.emu999.net/rom/PC98/

I hate the set up for their site, but haven't found a site other then maybe some old eroge sites and PC-98.org that has a selection this big.

Oh and they have every single VIPER game.

I remember coming across some old site dedicated to older eroges that had this one old mecha masume hentai game I was looking for the collection. It was really old.

PC-98 soundchip is the shit. Its like the Genesis, but better.

>>1217661
Yeah man. Also dude just It has so many interesting games on it. It's so sad that the site that has the most games for the system is some poorly organized Chinese emulation community.

Yes I mean community. Emu999 has a forum.

It seems if you're a member you can download more and at a faster speed, but I don't read mandarin.

http://www.emu999.net/rom/PC98/2005/9972.html

legends of the galatic heroes though I've seen some games have 2 or 3 uploaded versions.

http://bbs.emu999.net/forum.php


The foroums It's fairly active to this day.

It blows my mind that PC-98 has only been slightly looked into by western gamers. In this day and age.

http://bbs.emu999.net/forum-129-1.html
Here is the PC section.

>>1217706
http://www.emu999.net/rom/PC98/2011/39670.html

The old Half dragon OVA had a game

http://www.emu999.net/rom/PC98/2011/39820.html

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.
Cho aniki?

It really saddens me. There's this huge slice of gaming that's completely unknown to the west. If I had some money I'd pick one up and start collecting games for it.

>>1217718
There is that one guy at pc-98.org though.

Also OP here If you know of Garage from the LSD/Osamu Sato threads. I was the fucker who first started posting about Garage, when we were looking into Chu-Teng


http://www.emu999.net/rom/PC98/2011/39979.html

Oh, cool, they have Valis II. Been wanting to play that. Problem: can't get it to start. Only the intro cutscene will play, then error screen. SDF:LKJ

Oh and warning if you want to use emu999 expect bad download speeds due to it being a site in asia.

YOU KNOW THAT SHITTY GODZILLA GAME FOR NES
MOVE THE FUCK OVER BECAUSE HERE'S WHAT WE REALLY DESERVED

oh cool you got the site to download stuff. Yeah pc-98 games are a bitch to get running lol. I've only tampered with a few.

>>1217728

Sailor moon Majohng sadly no sailor boobs.

I'm more into MSX right now but I've been eyeballing PC-98 and this thread has some good sources. Is there a huge FTP or torrent I can download?

picked up a torrent full of these games. half of them are hentai. Many require that the emu be tweaked or swapped out.

>>1217748
I'm not for sure man about torrents I haven't looked into it for a while. Defiantly look into Theoldpc it has allot of old pc games too.

This looks baller it's called guardian recall.

All of these gifs have 2 or 3 images in one.

>>1217754
CRAP forgot link Well search for it they have English names in the search engine.

This game looks like a predecessor to idol maker.

>>1217748
Half of all PC-98 games are hentai.

>>1217778
It also has 3 sequals

>>1217781

4 actually, if you count the DK3 for the PC Engine CD as an alternative version. Sadly, I was never able to finnish the second one, there is a game breaking bug on every version of the game.

I've had a PC-98 emulator forever to play toohoo, but finding other games has always been a huge problem. Only had toohoo, Rusty, Steam Hearts, and Burning Dragon before. Thanks for the link.

>1217718
PC-98 games are generally more interesting than good. The system doesn't have hardware designed to scroll and can't brute force it with software, so action games are awkward as hell. The music is amazing though.

>>1217821

http://mercenaryforce.web.fc2.com/pc9801/pc9801.html

It doesnt have a lot of action games though. If you are looking for that you should look on X68000 or FM Towns.

>>1217674
>>1217723
IIRC, the LoGH games were also ported to Famicom and Sufami.

>>1217674
>Power Dolls 2

It also had a PS1 port.

http://ks23364.kimsufi.com/psxdata/databasepsx/games/J/P/SLPS-01033.html

>>1217642

So much Ys. Whoever owns that slick library has my approval.

Is PC-9801 emulation any good? These games look so weird! I'd love to be able to play them.

>>1217843
>>1217843
There was one or two Space strategy games on emu999, I'm not wading through it all again. Yet You should look on pc-98.org

>>1217901
IT's pretty decent it's easier then dosc box, but for each game it may require a different mode.
Also try pc-98.org

>>1217901
Yes, it is.

The problem is moonspeak, though. Its hard to get the games, and if you get errors, you can't read them unless you read Japanese. Often, its telling you to swap disks, which you'll just have to guess which ones.

>>1217917

The most troublesome experiences I had with PC-98 were CD games, those can be real pain in the ass. Thank god that there is a version of Neko Project that supports ISOs now, in the old Anex days it was awful.

>>1217734

>>1217651
Is there a Zeorymer game?

>>1217642
>I am bringing this up because of an old project I started Sadly I lost the files due to a system restore one day.

What a funny coincidence, I was actually working on translating some old PC-88 BASIC games when my hard drive died on me and I lost everything. I would really like to know more about how people translate these games properly, I'm still puzzled by most of the encoding they use for Japanese characters.

How many games does it have in comparison to the Macintosh and the Amiga? Those seem like the most likely candidates for the second largest library.

What surprised me is that many games were still released on floppies as late as 97.

How do you download from the site without downloading one of those "programs" that are definitely malware infected? I can't read Chinese.

I have like, 12gb of the stuff but I don't play it too much because I don't have the patience for adventure games and visual novels as much. Plus emulation is kinda wonky sometimes. I do find old Japanese computer games fascinating though.

>>1217821
Have you played Night Slave? It's one of the few genuine fun action games for the PC-98

Alice Soft offers their retro library for free.

>>1218001
To think the movie is quite "bad" compared to the book or even the video game.

>>1221076
Check IQDB for stuff like that.
Saucenao or Google may also work.

>Strategy games

What's the point in playing these if they're in Japanese? How many of you guys know Japanese well enough to get through the typical wall of kanji in these things? What's the point in playing an RPG if you don't understand what the hell's going on?

I've learnt some Japanese (badly) over the years and can fumble my way through most game menus, and play something like Densha de GO! and almost understand what's happening, but there's no way I could get through an RPG in moonrunes.

こわい…

>>1221294
You can learn Japanese by playing video games in Japanese.

I'd like to play this (more for the actual gameplay than the lewd because it's 2013 and Gelbooru exists), but the emulator I was using was just so fucking confusing.

>>1221294
Those aren't necessarily walls of text.
RPG can be dungeon crawlers and the like.
Eroge can be virtually any genre.
Strategy games aren't really text intensive, you just need to know which button does what and which statistic means what.

There are a couple of CD games with full voice on the PC-98 that may be easier to follow for an experienced anime viewer.

Is there a place to buy these other than ebay and doesn't involve me going to Japan?

>>1217723
Did we ever get a hold of Garage?

>>1221336

Well, if you can read japanese you can try using Yahoo auctions.

It's not just PC-98 but 88 & 66 as well that are hard to find.
Also I believe that the fmgen fork of Neko Project 2 is the one that can play ISOs.

>>1221123

Please kill yourself

>>1221371
>fmgen

Yes, but it doesnt support CD’s with multiple tracks, so you'll have to rip them. Still, is a lot more user friendly than Anex.

>>1221371
How are these? I haven't gotten around to download them myself.

Are there any PC-98 emulators that let you work in DOS?

>>1221294
I speak pretty good Mandarin, so if there's any Chinese translations on the emu sites (pretty likely, if its anything like manga and anime, it'll get chinese translations really quickly), I might be able to help translate a bit

>>1221405
>Are there any PC-98 emulators that let you work in DOS?

Yes, but you'll need to set up a hard disk image with DOS.

>>1221405
is there any reason to use DOS in a PC-98 emulator?

>>1221428
goddamn i love taiwan

bumping for interest

>>1222583
It's interesting to work with the machine like you did with the real thing.
It may also be useful to install games on hard drive images instead of constantly changing floppy images.

bumping because never heard of, youtubed, and noticed that soundchip is indeed much like a better version of the genesis. sounds fucking so amazing.

One thing I don't understand about the PC-98 is the aspect ratio. Many games have a resolution of 640x400 with square pixels, resulting in a 16:10 AR but the monitors it used are no different from those found in other computers.

>>1222686
>>1222614
You're on /vr/. Threads here last over a day without bump and a lot of users use the catalog to find threads.

>>1221405
You will usually need a boot disk anyway, as some floppy games come without bootable disks, so having DOS is pretty useful.

I dled my files from this page: http://www.jcec.co.uk/pc98_util.html

Does anybody know more about the Epson PC series (PC-286, PC-386)?
They were apparently PC-98 compatible but occasionally relevant enough to be listed separately.

>>1222689
Golden Rectangle master race

>>1221405
Apparently those archives were originally from Japan's own P2P client Perfect Dark. I think that's about as close as we can get to a full collection but I will check for myself.

>>1222826

That collection is pretty much complete, it's still missing CD games of course, but most games are there.

>>1222946
Most large commercial games maybe. Self published (doujin) games are going to be hard to find after all these years.

>>1222998
>(doujin) games

We don't even have a complete list on those... let alone a complete disk image set.

>>1222826 Here. Just to inform anyone downloading the PC-98 archive that although it is sorted into folders alphabetically (in terms of kana mind you) it is by the developer/publisher and not title. I.e. if you want to find Blue Garnet you have to go to 「と」 because it's under Tonkin House

>>1223607
My bad I meant Trush but same principle none the less

>>1222689
You sure it's supposed to be square pixels?

Old IBM PC video modes used 320x200, 720x400 (good ol' 80-column text mode) and other stupid shit with non-square pixels, and monitors would be designed to show them full screen 4:3.

Rusty looks like an amazing game:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwKnV9-8i6E

>>1223720
Yes. Check any screen in this thread or elsewhere to see that it's not stretched 4:3.
On the FM-Towns the games were letterboxed to 640x480.

PC-8801 but listen to that music, especially the catwalk scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecg5sdLUU7s

>Strip mahjong
TIME TO FAP!

>>1217642
really loving some of that cover art.

>>1223864
How many strip Mahjong games does the PC-98 have, hundreds?

>>1223995
http://www.pc98.org/mah.html
A few. Doesn't look like hundreds to me.

A japanese console/pc without mahjong games probably doesn't exist.

Figured out the disc combos to get this thing working. Its a very hard game. The enemies come at you really, really fast.

I really wanted to play it because the music on this level here is absolutely fantastic. Amazing stuff. And of course, the Turbografx version has a different score with worse music.

Now this is a strange game http://www.pc98.org/dwives.html

>>1223791
The third or fourth level is hard as fuck but the game gives you incentive to beat it

>>1224441
Hows the controls?

>>1224715
I can absolutely never get used to the controls. z to jump, spacebar to attack....

>>1217716
Ok, I want to see how weird that is.

Any tips on how to get started with PC 98? I'm on Linux (Ubuntu).

>>1224358
OP here there's soem articles on PC-98 and the asian game pc market on hardcore gaming 101 but not many.

A guide on getting DOS to run on PC-98 emulators wouldn't go amiss. Some games require installation to a hard disk via DOS

>>1224961

I'd love to get a hand on this kind of computers, a PC-9801, PC-8801 or an X68000 (Here the MSX are easy to find).

>>1226049
Isn't the PC-9821 better than the 9801 and still compatible?

Are there lots of English versions if the games?

>>1226072
There are very few fan translated PC-98 versions. Usually they translated the identical Windows 95 one or later remakes. Licensed translations ported the game for IBM PC-DOS or Windows.

Games with a PC-98 version and available in English

There are also a good deal of games with English or otherwise easy to understand menus and little overall text.

Don't know the different models, but getting one will be in the following years one of my priority.

>>1223607
Do they include import games?
If I wanted the PC-98 version of Ultima, should I download お for Origin (the American studio) or す for Starcraft (the company that did the Japanese ports)?

>>1217642
Hnnnnng... I want that Shoko Minami Album.

>>1230579
I found them myself. They're listed under ho for Ponycanyon and E for Electronic Arts Victor.

Are there any other FPS on the system?

>>1230203
cheers anon, that link is useful

>>1231326

Wolfenstein and Battletech.

Is that Chinese site the only place to get games? I'm having difficulty finding things.

>>1217642
>chinese site
Did anyone download anything from there? Is it legit? I'm paranoid.

>>1231983
Use the Internet Archive. >>1221405
They also have one 7GB package. I don't know where the difference to the sorted one is.
https://archive.org/details/PC98_Games_1813

>>1232036
Like every download site, there's a bunch of trap options that tries to get you into downloading questionable .exe files onto your comp.

But if you find the correct chinese words to click on, then it works fine.

(Click on the big green button on the bottom, then look for 3 sentences where 2 have very obnoxious attention drawn to it, and click on the 3rd one)

>>1232042
This one?

>>1232041
I totally missed that post, thanks!

>>1232067
You got it. If you're not downloading an exe, you're good to go.

(Sometimes there are dead links though, I really wanted to download Tuned Heart that someone linked earlier but it was a dead link. Same with Ultima IV)

>>1232118
Thanks man, no exe in sight, just the rar with the game.

I've managed to create a hard drive image with NP2, format it with the DOS tools and install games on it.
What doesn't work so far is getting it to boot from the HDD even though I copied all the system files. I also still need to figure out how to copy games without an installation routine.

>>1230579
>PC-98 port of Starcraft

I'm curious. Tell me more.

>>1232476

No, Starcraft is the name of the company that ported the game.

>>1232476
The PC-98 was dead in 1998 (hence the name). I can't find anything on Warcraft 1 or other classic RTS being released for the system.

>>1232594

Warcraft 1 was released by Electronic Arts Victor for PC-9821.

Has anyone experience with an error like this? I'm trying to play the Familysoft (ファミリーソフト) Dunbine game (聖戦士ダンバイン バイストンウェルの炎) but all three image sets refuse to load. Two of them aren't even supported formats (.fix and .nfd).
I tried Editdisk and NHC but they didn't help.

I'm also looking for a way to convert folders into disk images

>>1232937
Have you tried using T98-Next or Anex86?

>>1234130
Anex doesn't do d88 images and T-98Next gives the standard no system files error and fails to access the disks when I boot with another disk.

>>1234372

I checked for a PC-9801VX on Yahoo auction. Damn, most of them are main unit only, no keyboard, no documentation, no monitor...

http://mercenaryforce.web.fc2.com/pc9801/pc98/02465.html
It's one of those elusive CD games. Most of the foreign games from the 90s aren't very interesting since they're typically close copies with translated text.

"The main English source for anything to do with Japanese computers is the Tokugawa forums, which I visited for information. Another reason for lack of downloads, as one insider reluctantly told me, is that about a decade ago, prior to Tokugawa's formation, there had been a collaboration between East and West to dump and share Japan's retro computer games. Except the games ended up being sold online by one of the Western members... Apparently, Japan has yet to forgive this treason."

Serious question: Was there any good shooting games/action games for the PC-98f family of computers or I'm better off with a X68000?

>>1236702

For action games you'll be better with the X68000, FM Towns has some pretty nice action games too (mostly shooters).

>>1236729
I heard Viewpoint got ported onto the FM Towns. I'm curious how those ports were on the FM Towns (the ones that Ving ported of course).

CRW2. Strategy game with mechs. Runs a little choppy for me but has some interesting gameplay ideas in it.

>>1237647

>>1237647
Is there no comfortable way of adjusting the CPU speed like in DOSbox? The speed adjustment only works in a few cases and having to reboot whenever a game runs too fast or too slow is annoying.

>>1237676
Yeah, it really does.

>>1237694
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's really just wonky. Since not all emulators can play all games I have to switch between a few and this one uses one of the emulators I'm not as familiar was. It's crashing and freezing a lot for me and is overall choppy.

Maybe I Just don't know what I'm doing.

>>1237647

This game has a PSX port. You might try that one too if the original version is a little wonky.

http://ks23364.kimsufi.com/psxdata/databasepsx/games/J/C/SLPS-00220.html

>>1237927
I'm not really interested in SRPGs but thanks for telling me. I mostly tried it out because some guy on /v/ wanted some screenshots.

Has anyone seen a copy of Youjuu Senki 2 floating around the internet? Copies of the 1st game are really common, but emu999 doesn't return anything on YS2.

EGS gives it a score ranking that's actually worth playing unlike the other games in the series, so I want to try it out

(Note: Youjuu Senki 2 is actually the 3rd game in the series. There's a game called Zoku Youjuu Senki, which is the sequel to the 1st game which... isn't what I'm looking for)

>>1224715
>>1224717

What are the default directional controls for this game? I can jump and attack but can't move my character or move to different options in the main menu.

>>1239917
Yes, four different versions even. One DIP, one pure files, one HDM and one TFD.
[PC98][て][D.O.] 妖獣戦記2 黎明の戦士たち [HDM].zip
It's in the archive under て becuase D.O. is pronounced ディーオー.
The version I used didn't have system files so I had to boot from another drive, swtich manually and perform HDINST c: to install it.
There could be a CD version with voices somewhere.

It seems to have more tactical depth than the first game with special abilities for the characters and lines of fire being blocked.
I may have overlooked the option to import the party from the previous games.

>>1240330
numpad

>>1240330
I can't speak for that specific game but in my experience they often use the numeric pad (tenkey) instead of the standard arrow keys.

>>1240515
Thanks.

When we're talking about "the archive" though, you mean emu999.net, right?

How did you sort the game by characters so I can search for it?

>>1240587

>>1240606
I didn't use the torrent but the internet archive is a reputable site. Any virus collections should be properly identified.
If there's a PC-98 virus somewhere in the archive it can't infect your computer when run in an emulator.

>>1240603
With DOOM OS.

Anyone else like the idea of making a list of recommended PC-98 games?

I have a small list... but most of the games I know require japanese knowledge to some extent. Also some of them have enhanced ports in other plattforms, so sometimes is just better to play the enhanced port (even if they have censored stuff).

>Doukyuusei 1 and 2 (there are multiple versions for this games, some of them are not retro)
>Kakkyusei (similar to Doukyuusei)
>Yu-No (just play the translated version with all the extra content)
>Dragon Knight series (the first three games have remakes in PC Engine CD, then the fourth game was remade for almost every plattform and it even had a PC 3D remake in 2007).
>Genei Toshi (this one also has many versions, I cant remember which were the best versions, but IIRC they were the X68000 and MSX2 versions).
>Dead of the Brain I & II (the first game had multiple releases on many computers, but the second game was only released on PC-98, there is also a PC Engine remake with voice acting that includes both games).
>Policenauts (the PC-98 version is kinda awkward since it doesnt have subtitles unless you finnished the game once)
>Isaku (this game was ported later to PC and spawned multiple sequels)
>Gunblaze (turn based RPG in a steampunk setting, there is a remake for Sega Saturn).

Will post more later.

>>1240591
You know, the internet archive is just around the last place I'd imagine to found so many downloads for old games.
I won't be downloading it because I already have like 6 GBs of PC98 stuff but there are other stuff on it too.

>>1240807
They've also got hundreds of GB worth of IBM DOS games and a notable collection of CD compilations.

It's UNTAPPED for a reason: Not enough action games and too much visual novels/cheap jrpgs.

Having been interested in trying out PC-98 games for sometime--is there any guides that could help me set one up? I tried it before; but the interface and things are kind of weird--nothing like DOSBox.

>>1244737
The boy's got wings.

>>1244829
Haven't you tried searching for it? There are a couple and they cover various emulators.

A difference to DOSbox is that the emulators use disk images even though the file system is similar/identical. Most of them are bootable so you just need to insert them, reset the system and they'll start.

>>1244829
As the other guy said, most PC-98 emulators work like console emulators and you really just need to worry about loading the floppy disc image or hard disk image, rather than DOSbox, which emulates the OS. Its very simple. The problem is just the language barrier.

>>1245779
You can sometimes exit the game and return to DOS and almost always boot up DOS and start the game from there.
DOSbox includes parts of the interface in the shell like mounting new drives.

Speed can be something to worry about. I usually use 20 MHz but occasionally it needs to be ramped up to 80 or cut down to 4.
Unfortunately some games don't seem to work with one emultor so you have to try several options.

Does anybody know a Famicom emulator for the PC98?
I'm curious how they differed from foreign ones like NESticle.

>>1240797
Doukyuusei is an ELF game right?

Also does anyone have a guide for seeting up DOS in a PC-98 emulator? Some games need it for installation to a hard disk.

>>1246000
Get dos62_system.fdi and mount it in the first drive.
Then you get a front end for DOS or can exit to DOS if you prefer that. You will need tools like format from the DOS folder to format hard drive images.

>>1246020

Yes, it was developed by Elf. But some of the ports were published by NEC or Interchannel.

>>1246620

I don't know why, but whenever I see, read or hear elf (even when talking about the gas company), I think of Dragon knight.

I love how rudimentary the graphics are for some of the adventure games on PC-88 like Princess Tomato and Dezeni World

>tfw I was never able to finnish DK2. It has a game breaking bug on every version of the game (even the PC-Engine CD version).

>>1246657

That's not really a game, just some artwork pack. Also, is it me or the PC-98 thread is just a small part of /m/ in /vr/? With all the mech pics i though i was on the 70's and 80's mecha thread at first.

Okay so I just downloaded the 7 gig archive.org zip now what should I play? Give me something that's really going to rep the PC-98 properly. Is there a good tactical RPG with a light story and straight forward menus that can be deciphered pretty easy? Probably also one with nudity I'm assuming and of course something that's not already available on another platform.

Convince me to get a PC-98 before I get an MSX.

>>1246685

CRW, it doesnt have a light story, but it is not hard to understand. Basic menus and health stats are in english.

http://mercenaryforce.web.fc2.com/pc9801/pc98/00439.html

This looks like a particularly interesting strategy game.

>http://mercenaryforce.web.fc2.com/pc9801/pc98/01568.html
>Also, a JRPG with 8 (!!!!) character slots.

That game is part of the Ghost Hunter Series games. You can say it's kinda like the japanese Call of Cthulhu (pen and paper RPG). Three games were released on that series: Laplace no Ma (the SNES version has a translation patch), Paracelsus no Maken (PC-98 only) and the third game Kuroki Shi no Kamen that was only released on 3DO.

>>1217821
> The system doesn't have hardware designed to scroll and can't brute force it with software, so action games are awkward as hell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9RInranI-Y
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1hZgesGN94

It would appear that you're wrong as shit. That shit scrolls better than some older DOS games.

>>1246830
PC-98 runs on MS-DOS...

>>1246774
The SNES version of Laplace's Demon turns it into a super deformed overhead RPG instead of the sweet Wizardry style.

>>1246830

You do realize that those games were released on 1996? There were lots of PC-98 configurations across the years. Many of the japanese computers from the mid 80's and early 90's couldnt scroll for shit (FM Towns and X68000 being only exceptions to the rule).

>>1246886
So basically you agree and go further by explaining to the original person that there's more than one viable configuration making him even more wrong.
Unless a PC-98x isn't a PC-98x.

Basically it's as wrong as saying DOS games have shitty scrolling because some early dos games did have shitty scrolling. Yet it's entirely missing the point that there were plenty that did. Given that the PC-98 series were more or less just NEC x86 machines with somewhat different architecture design for motherboards that's pretty a fairly proper analogy since they also supported DOS. Mind you he didn't even mention a specific version like the original PC-9801 though he said 'the system' as if PC-98 was one system instead of a line like IBM 5XXX etc...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_V4PD614j0 -1993 moves fine.

This shit basically goes on and on.

Mind you it's a similar situation with DOS developers not having inbuilt scrolling with the hardware and the whole bit about Carmack developing Keen to scroll smoothly (it's not actually all that smooth). He can retract his statement and reword it if he wants, but lt's not pretend I give two shits about you attempting to move the goalpost.

Is there a larger platformer protagonist than Mokkoriman?
The game is surreal but also bad. Controls are crap, level design dull and difficulty is nonexistent.

If you have data in raw file format you can import it on a formatted hard drive image in Disk Explorer.
It's not that simple if the data has to be on multiple floppies.

You can simply use brute force and repeat until you get through.

Anyone knows if the PC-88MC had other CD games besides Mirrors?

>>1248661
Why does that look like the CD-ROM2 unit from the PCE? Just a common NEC design or was there some sort of compatibility?

One of the PC-88MC models used the CD-ROM2 unit.

>>1246169

>>1246169
If you ever wondered what bad Japanese voice acting sounds like, here you go.

>>1248674

Not only that, the design kinda looks like a PC-FX too.

No luck in getting an analog joystick to work.

There are two Area 88 games on the platform. this one (一角獣の軌跡) is a flight sim, the other (Etranger 95) is a real time tactics game where you command a wing of aircraft across a map.
Some of you may have heard of the franchise via the game UN Squadron.

Puzznic is a disappointment on the PC-98. It plays pretty slow and there's no nudity like in the arcade version, only clothed elves.

>>1249843

Like the PC-Engine version so.

>>1250567
The Towns version appears to be the best but I haven't found a working download yet.

Thinking Rabbit's Sokoban is a classic game originally released for the PC-88 series. The PC-98 version, Sokoban Perfect, features 306 levels and the sequel Soko-ban Revenge another 306 and varying player characters like an Egyptian, a grandmother, the Terminator and a toy soldier.
There's also Sokoban Select 30 with 30 levels.

>>1217706
>It blows my mind that PC-98 has only been slightly looked into by western gamers. In this day and age

Mostly has to do with huge language barriers for one, which is a shame considering how little we know about japanese culture outside of Game Center CX

>>1251013

Well, it's not like the system had a lot of hidden gems. Unlike Amiga, most of the good games received ports to other systems and in most cases enhanced ports (resolution a side).

>>1251291
Enhanced ports? Windows ports are the same thing with worse sound and occasionally additional censorship. Console ports cut out the h (save for the PC-FX) and cut down the resolution in exchange for voices and FMV.
Only the big publishers rereleased their games for Windows not the smaller ones and doujin circles.
You have to dig deep to find hidden gems, that's why they're hidden gems.

>>1251419
He probably means mainstream games that had PC-88/98 releases. Rather than the PC-98's strong point, which was visual novels and the like.

>>1251457
>>1251419

Console ports/remakes improved graphics and gameplay aspects in lots of games (not everything has to be about h scenes).

Look at the Fray version on PC Engine CD.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLlHquy9TWU

As always don't forget about this site: http://tss.asenheim.org/ for visual novels, some of which were on PC-98. HTML5 is magic.

>>1251598
It really depends on the game. You will find enough cases where people prefer the computer versions over a console port.
Only a small fraction got ported to consoles.

>>1246738
Okay now I've got this emulator, NP2 and I gave it bios files. I don't know if it needed them or not but I gave them to it. I see where it can load floppy or hdd images but the CRW from the archive is just in the form of files like the install directory or whatever. I guess I need to mount a virtual hard drive and then run the .com file in there? I don't see how to do it though.

>>1252269
Use Diskexplorer and drag the files onto a formatted hard drive image.
You can find guides if you need help with the formatting but the main process of creating an image and using the DOS format tools isn't that complex.

>>1252269
Is the 7GB package always files or is it all over the place like the 11GB?
I have CRW as nondescript floppy images and CRW2 as NFD images.

>>1252319
My CRW is files and my CRW2 is DCU images so looks like it's not only inconsistent between games but also between archives.

>>1252302
Where do you start a new disc image or download a blank/pc98 structured one?

>>1252359
In NP2 Emulate -> New Disk and select a fitting format (e.g. hdi) and size.

>>1252368
Okay well I was asking where you get one to start with to edit but I see there were some in the "bios pack" that I opened with DiskExplorer and added the files that came in the CRW directory in the 7 gig archive.

I discovered that the DiskExplorer software isn't too crazy about long file names or something because it didn't work until I moved the files from my external hard drive, in a long named directory to a simple directory on my c: - just a note there to help my bros.

The HD0 image that I edited didn't have an extension so NP2 didn't see it. I just renamed it to have a THD extension. I loaded it and reset and it booted and now it's just at a black screen (not the japanese text screen, which I guess is a "load an image" screen or something). There's no prompt so I assume my disk image either didn't load or doesn't have an OS on it...

So where do I get an image of a PC98 hard drive with DOS or whatever on it for me to start with?

>>1252391
Does the drive respond when you boot up DOS from another drive?
i.e. boot up from the DOS disk and go C:

There is a SYS command to copy the files necessary for booting but I haven't gotten it to work reliably.

>>1252368
Sorry I misread that. Now I did what you said and the disk image doesn't even have any partitions when I try to open it in Disk Explorer

>>1252427
Well when I went back and tried to open it again in Disk Explorer with that THD extension it wouldn't until I took the extension away so I'm guessing that wasn't the right extension to put on it.

When it has no extension, it detects that it's a "PC98e 66MB HDD" what extension should I put on it so I can open it in NP2? I'll try T98 Next and then I'll just blindly test different extensions if that doesn't work (unless you can clue me in)

>>1252430
Boot up DOS disk, cd dos, format and select hard drive or hdformat, hit return on everything.

>>1252449
Oh jeez so basically this is just like using DOS on a virtual machine. Which version of DOS is the newest/best?

>>1252459
I'm not sure there are versions other than 6.2.

>>1252449
>>1252459
I see a Windows 95 disc in my archive. Should I install that?

>>1252463
Okay... I booted up a DOS 6.2 disc but it's fully japanese and the menus are pretty deep, having a hard time figuring out where I need to partition. Is there a particular DOS disk you can point me to to use for this that's simpler?

>>1252472
Just hit escape and push y if you don't like the frontend. That will end you on the regular prompt.

Alright... Sorry for turning this into a blog but my main problem was needing to figure out how to get a colon with the Japanese format keyboard I should be pretty cool now. All these commands seem more or less the same as regular DOS 6.2

>>1252494
I just used SYS C:

Guess I spoke too soon it still doesn't have partitions when I open it in Disk Explorer lol

If someone could just tell me what I'm looking at on this hard drive formatting menu it would help a lot.

>>1252534
Search for a tutorial if you need to ask questions about everything.

>>1252541
There are no English language tutorials for this. You act like you've done it before but I guess not.

>>1252545
I've followed an English language tutorial myself, there are several of them

>>1252550
Yeah thanks for the help, Asshole.
If I can get this formatted I'll see if I can't install 95 on it in English and some recommended games and then share the HD image file, packaged with the emulator to make it easier for people to check out PC-98 which I was under the impression was the point of this thread.

Or not, whatever. I'll just go back to MSX.

>>1252568
I don't see how Win 95 is a good idea. It's amusing to work with but there's no practical reason to use it for games. You already have a front end in form of the emulator and a lot of games don't have an exit option.

http://www.retroprograms.com/mirrors/Protocatbert/protocat.htm
http://fullmotionvideo.free.fr/pc98/articles/hdi/hdi.html

>>1252618
To put multiple games all inside one disk image but from the looks of things it's a whole extra headache to get 95 to skip it's hardware detection and even then compatibility is spotty. I'll probably just write an english language batch file but I still can't get this hdd image to boot.

I can format it, I can use sys and go to it after booting from the floppy but I can't seem to find the command or menu option to fully install DOS to it and for some reason Disk Manager still doesn't see any partitions even though they must be there for me to be able to mount it and see a directory listing - or maybe my DOS experience is leading me to make false assumptions. I see what I assume to be the "bootable" flag in the format front end and I've tried it in both settings but the hard drive still won't boot without there being a bootable floppy image.

>>1252627
Can you open other hdi images in Diskexplorer? If necessary you can copy one of those, remove the original game and save the files there.

>>1217642
Ah yes, the PC-98. Home to several Ys games, VNs, and the definitive version of Popful Mail.

>>1254840
I can but I'd like to use a nice fat 512 megabyte hd image and see how many games I can stuff in it.

Wasn't there an RPG Maker for PC-98 as well?

>>1255234

Yes, it's where it all started. The first Corpse Party was made with it if I recall.

>>1256007
No, it seems the original was for the PC-88.

>>1256164
The predecessor, Adventure Tcool

>>1255202
Maybe that's where your whole problem lies. The system should have included support for 512 MB at some point since those were common in the mid 90s and FAT16B and FAT32 allowed up to 4GB but the emulators or other parts of the chain may not feel that way.
With more than one game on a disk you either need to go through DOS or have a starter program.

>>1257375
Yeah I get it. It seems to be pretty much the same as DOS 6.2 which I'm plenty familiar with I just can't navigate the menus on the install disks (in Japanese) to be able to format and get the OS files onto the hard drive image.

Once I have a 512 megabyte bootable hard drive image I should be able to stuff it (or them) full of games and write some batch files to serve as a front end.

It would make getting into these games much easier for noobs (download 512 meg worth at a time, load hard drive in emulator and reset) so can anyone just make one for me or point me in the direction of one that already exists somewhere?

It wasn't in the PC-88 archive either but that's generally poorly organized.

I think it's here to make the picture respect the screen ration, as its resolution is 640*200.

Yes, but it's better to double the relevant lines than to insert black ones.

This intentionally cryptic shit is why your scene is dying. I don't know what magical fucking search phrase other than "pc98 dos install tutorial" or "dos/v install tutorial" is going to get me this supposed tutorial you're too cool to link me directly to on the first page but in searching these forums it's pretty clear nobody has been doing much with pc98 for many years. There are links to pre-formatted HD images which, despite being only 40 meg, I might have been able to copy the dos files out of using Disk Manager if they weren't so old that all eight of the links (including megaupload) are dead.

I'm beginning to think that all any English speakers know how to do at this point is load self booting disk images long enough to jerk off which maybe is a fitting end for the pc98 scene.

>>1262235
What do you even want with DOS/V? Those are IBM compatibles with Japanese language support.

You are trying to skip too many steps. Take the fucking tutorial on how to create a 40 MB bootable HDD. Follow each step carefully through so that you can learn how the thing works.

Don't try to come across as the super expert wanting to help beginners when you're just a beginner yourself.
I hadn't bothered with creating a bootable image until now but I managed to do it by following the instructions. Then I used that knowledge to repeat it for a 512 MB image.
I'm not going to upload it because that would be a huge waste of resources.

>>1262336
WHAT FUCKING TUTORIAL? If I could find anything that just translates the formatting menus of the DOS 6.2 disks I already have that would be enough.

I am an expert with DOS. The emulators are pretty straight forward with creating and mounting virtual disks. The file manager makes it easy to manipulate the files and move them back and forth between the virtual disks and the directory structures look the same as DOS ones.

It is just frustrating that the format menu is different and in Japanese. it's maddening that, by this point it would have been easier to just feed screen shots into Google's image translator than to pry a simple link out of you people who are supposedly trying to grow your scene.

>>1262235

The emulator only loads up disk images and it didn't take long to discover that many of the games in the archives are not in disk image format. Essentially what I'm trying to do is turn more of them into games that will run easily in the emulator. The game CRW that was recommended to me ITT is the reason for this as neither archives have the first one (there are two) in disk image format and the links I found online only had the install disks.

Of course, with no more help than the scenesters gave me I'll probably just do it and play CRW long enough to get tired of it and drop the whole project - although a far better thing to do would be to distribute tons of easy-porn packages all over the place and draw tons of dumbasses into their scene.

Aaaaaand this tutorial only covers what I'd already figured out myself. The hard drive is still not bootable without having a floppy with the system files on it in the virtual floppy drive.

>>1262418
There isn't really a PC98 "scene"...

Just people who want to emulate various games on the platform.

>>1262426
From the ruins of the scene, I can tell that it did exist as recently as five years ago. Seemed like pretty cool guys too. What a shame.

Sorry I thought you were linking to articles about running Windows 95/98 on it.

Alright! Again, sorry about not checking your links last night but now I've successfully got a bootable hard drive image. What I was overlooking is some option right before formatting that you have to use the second choice. I still have no idea what it does, it isn't to flag the drive as bootable because that's on another menu I already figured out. Pic related.

Also, you have to reboot after formatting for the virtual bios to detect the new formatted, partitioned hard drive.

Interestingly, when there are no floppies inserted the hard drive becomes A:. which surprised me especially since it was C: when there was just one floppy inserted.

I may still end up having to manually copy things like himem.sys if such things are necessary for games to run and I don't know if it needs environmental switches set in config.sys but I'll cross those bridges when I come to them.

I now have CRW 1 running. I could make a small bootable HDI for anybody that needs it at this point but I'll probably just start filling up this 512 megabytes.

I'm not entirely sure I see the appeal of a huge disk with a large number of games on it compared to being able to load each game separately. It's like having a large NES rom that contains multiple games. I think I would much rather be able to access each game individually.

Out of curiosity has anyone found a PC-98 game that is easy for those with only a rudimentary knowledge of moon (i.e. kana and basic grammar) or one that at least doesn't use too much Kanji?

>>1262747
Yes. It's mainly the adventures and RPG that require extensive knowledge and those make up maybe 50% of the library.

>>1262885
Is there a database that sorts by genre?

>>1262934
Already mentioned.

I liked that NES game

it was repetitive and weird but it had a real charm

>you scene
Idiots like you coming along and labeling it like this is why the scene is dying. People only put effort into the community when it feels niche, when some chad like yourself comes along and tries to "bring it to the masses" interest immediately dies around you. Also if your going to spend any time on the internet it's worth learning google, "pc98 dos install .hdi" is an extremely simple search to put together that requires just a moment of reflection on what you are actually looking for. That's what I hate about chads the most, they never think and they never put any actual effort into anything online. Even the two searches you provided yourself bring up tutorials if you would have just clicked through the first through results.

Also nobody in this "scene" is going to be goaded with that last line, only works on other normies.

The best thing about the PC-98 is the large variety of games that aren't hentai. There must be at least a half dozen of them.

>>1264163
Not a good sign

>>1264185
I though there was only a ms-dos version of this game.

The guy looking at the girl in the background look like he's ready to kidnap and rape her in his basement.

>>1264594
I was hoping so, but the game is in .hdb dump format so welp.

Heh
I always wondered what would happen.

Is there an explanation for this? Are there multiple Japanese versions of Cobra Mission?
I can understand removing Japanese elements for the American release. Even replacing the female lead or the combat system may make sense.
But replacing parts of the map seems a bit excessive and pointless.
