If you have a tight community that can all play together at one guy’s house without bother from their parents/partners/children/jobs/personal hygiene/game story and extras, then hey, sorted.? But how common is this? The only benefit of having a rom is being able to practice before the console version comes out. So let’s say all these people get a copy of Blazblue, arcade perfect, running 100% on their pc, armed with proper joysticks.? Then what? Well, it’s simple.? It’s called limbo, which they’ll realise they’re in, as soon as a patch/upgrade or DLC comes out.? You can’t tell me these people won’t want the newest version with all the bells and whistles.? These are the same kind of people who ran around collecting the latest roms just to say they owned them. Today the PS3 remains more or less unhacked and the 360, while hacked, has banned 1 million players from going online.? And that’s what makes the gaming companies breathe a sigh of relief.? Without being able to go online, the gamesplayer has got half a game, and that’s not even considering DLC.Īrcades are dying, if not dead.? Yes, we have tournaments but the average fighting enthusiast today goes online to get their kicks (literally).? Yes, the veterans still go to arcades (and still play old games) but the busy man, the noob and the new school, all stay at home, occasionally going to their friend’s house. SNK was certainly a victim of piracy.? Probably 70% of the so-called fans who loved SNK never paid a penny to play the latest release of a KOF game.? I remember the roms being released literally a few days after the games release.? Without new hardware, SNK was f*cked before they could even think.? When they brought out new hardware, no emulator could touch it, unfortunately, the consumers didn’t want to touch it anyway.? Tough break. The youtuber below is playing using his SFIV stick.? The question that remains in my mind is, so what? It doesn’t seem to recognise any input other than the mouse and keyboard too… I have to force my video card not to scale the display, though, otherwise the image gets scaled and the quality suffers. I’ve been running it on my Windows box at home (Core 2 Quad 3.0Ghz, nVidia GeForce GTX275) and it runs pretty well.
The loader being used here is basically simulating the hardware dongle so that the software can be loaded on any old Windows computer. The only special things are obviously the specialized hardware as well as a hardware dongle that must be present for games to be booted. The Type-X2 hardware is already basically an x86 PC running Windows XP embedded. It’s not so much an emulator as a loader. Taito Type x2 has been emulated / hacked / bootlegged.? What does this mean to us? Not much.
