drrockso20 posted:Why is the N64 so hard to emulate anyways? Relative lack of interest and a rather strange architecture, mostly. Much like PSX emulation, there's been very little public work done in the last 10 years. Unlike PSX emulation, they left off in a pretty sorry state. The poorly documented custom GPU probably isn't helping things any. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Jul 21, 2015 |

Rare also managed to do custom microcode for the SGI co-processor that handles graphics and audio, allowing them to fundamentally alter the behavior of poo poo that was already impossible to understand.

Final neodoom just went the way of the dodo on my computer. I'm willing to forgive a lot of a wad if it has good music but final neodoom was like listening to cruxshadows. Anybody want to pose their favorite doom music wads?

But I think it's still like $10 or so so not that great of a deal unless you really don't like anything else in the compilation.

Mr E posted:And yet I still seem to have better luck with PS2 emulation. Yeah, ironically. Like dis astranagant said its because of lack of interest / active development. Just a few years ago PS2 was a no-go on emulation and N64 was pretty lock-solid so it was totally different. Its just there's been near-zero N64 work since then while PS2 emus have been working hard to get to a really playable state.

I'm doubtful that Perfect Dark will get a PC version. Partially because M+KB would make that game way too easy, and partially because the studio that did the XBLA version does the console Minecraft games now, and god help us all if they ever stop doing that for like half a second.

I honestly think Bobby Prince is talented, he just tries to cover it up by cribbing other styles. He's at his best when he's doing downtempo, sad stuff; Wondering About My Loved Ones and Sign Of Evil are some of my favorite tracks from any video game.

It says "ON PC" in very faint letters which I don't know if that's meant to be an actual confirmation or a weird joke.

If it ends up on PC, it'll have to either have a Microsoft approved 360 emulator ready to go for Windows, or they're doing re-ports of all the N64 games that they'd already ported to 360. Either way, it would probably only come out a while after the Xbox One release.

I thought one of the things about windows 10 was that it's supposed to be fairly compatible with xb1 and games were gonna be more easily ported between them? I guess that doesn't have to have any bearing on 360 backwards compatibility though... And you're undoubtedly right about it coming aster the xb1 release.

I actually almost never use music WADs... although I recall dabbling with a few in the past. Like, when I first got Doom 2 around 2005 or so and was mucking around with SLIGE, I recall using this music WAD that introduced me to some SNES tracks I'd never heard before, like Final Fantasy IV's "Golbez, Clad in Darkness" or ActRaiser's "Sacrifices". I forget which WAD that was now, though. If I had to go with one now, though, Jimmy's Jukebox is pretty much the best way to go. It's ZDoom-only, so it won't do for anyone who uses other source ports, but it lets you choose several pools of music to crib from (including Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, Heretic, Chex Quest, Memento Mori 2, Hell Revealed 2, Requiem, Strain, and the music libraries of Jimmy and Forty-Two/stewboy, among others I'm probably forgetting), picks 32 tracks from that at random to form a playlist, and then plays that in lieu of whatever the WAD you're playing has (generally, if you're using this mod, it was the stock Doom 2 music). Wonder if it's seen any updates since I last used it, though...? As for MegaWADs with their own custom soundtracks, I rather liked the soundtracks to Zone 300, Going Down, 2002: A Doom Odyssey, Memento Mori 2, Speed of Doom, Adventures of Square and Turbocharged Arcade. I also kinda like Hell Revealed 2's MAP12, "Anti-Static", because it's supposed to sound like this but my preferred soundfont (8MBGMSFX.sf2) makes it sound like this. (Who knew rhythmic car screeching could work so well?)

This is cool; Croteam released the sources of most of the models in Serious Sam 2 and HD, along with 3's enemies. This means everything; textures, animations, and models. http://forums.seriouszone.com/showthread.php?p=1081148 There's also reports of unused content in the files, so if you liked exploring the Doom art source release earlier this year, you should like this as well. closeted republican fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Jul 21, 2015 |

Listening to the two, I can definitely hear it. The initial part of E3M2 is like what would happen if you tried to transcribe that fast rhtyhm guitar into a midi that couldn't handle the speed; you'd have to break it down and change it up a little, but it follows a very similar theme. Then the hard drums come in breaking it up, just like leather rebel. Thing is there's enough difference from the transcribing process to call it a different song, but I can see where it could come from somebody listening to leather rebel and trying to make a midi version. Its far less egregious than some of the other doom tracks for sure. The main melody as far as I can tell is totally different, which could be a combination of some other metal song I can't place but could just as easily be original. The song is still definitely based on or inspired by leather rebel, although I'm not sure its close enough to even litigate were that an issue back in the day, and I wouldn't say they're the same song flat out or anything. But I can hear it.
