Just curious.

You know, maybe he just wants to be able to enjoy the game with his setup.
Obviously, he's using a high-quality setup. To get the clearest possible picture on a 2D game, the port should use the original game's resolution. If you're using composite video, the picture's more fuzzy, so it doesn't matter as much... but if not, and the display is filtered/scaled, you will see the distortion.
To get an idea of what this looks like: open up Paint. Select View > Zoom > Large Size. Now draw a small circle or oval, unfilled. Go to Image > Stretch/Skew..., put in 150% for both Horizontal and Vertical, and click OK.
Now imagine playing a whole game like that. THAT is why resolution matters in 2D ports, and why some people won't even bother if the graphics are scaled.
...so, any details on the game system?

As you could figure, I have no problems at all for being banned here. Also, I never write to please you and the servitude. So tell the admin this. And to explain exactly WHAT you don't like of my posts to justify a ban/censorship.Dylan1CC wrote:Recap, don't take this too seriously, just being candid: the point stands, nobody likes the way you post.

As you see, I didn't "take it too seriously". How could I.

Recap, be thankful for what we have. SHMUPS ARE STILL BEING MADE!!! stfu and drink your bleach.
anyway~~~
my GF's in Japan on vacation, she's gonna pick up Mushi for me while she's there ^____^ and yes, there is an ISO for it... starting to download it, just in case (for some odd reason) she's unable to find it while she's there. ^^; so at least i'll be able to play it before ordering it off PlayAsia. but it shouldn't be too hard to find in Japan once it's released, right? o_O
Mod note from Dylan: No talk of downloading ISOs period! Thanks. I know you are not advocating stealing based on what you said.

I'm confused. What exactly is forcing everyone to read Recap's (or anyone's) threads that they find so boring/repetitive/painful/offensive/etc. I'm not taking sides, just don't see why everyone gets their panties bunged up.
The complete horseshit to good information ratio in this forum is pretty lame... yet people still feel justified by singling out other people.
</my two cents>
On Topic: No word if my copy is sent out yet. I'm assuming today (Wednesday in Japan) and will arrive on Saturday here... damnit.

Mushi will be in stores here tomorrow but I already preordered the game from NCS when I thought I'd be back in the US before the game came out. I considered cancelling my pre-order there and just buying it here, but I would all of one day to play it before I move, and it would be yet another fragile item to pack...
I decided to just stick with my pre-order and wait until I get back. I'll have a nice present waiting for me when I get home.

Coming from a moderator, it's indeed lame, but whatever.

I am sure the information that Recap is offering up is very important to him. I am sure it is of interest to many people, and getting more people 'in the know' about low res verses filtered high res sprites can be a good thing.GaijinPunch wrote:I'm confused.

However, what he is doing now pretty much amounts to spamming. He isn't contributing anything to these conversations, just rehashing the same info over and over again.
Recap, if the whole hi-res/low-res thing is that important to you. Go start a seperate thread about it. Clearly describe what people are loosing when they don't have the true low res sprites in their game. Provide screenshots, diagrams, flow charts, bar codes, knock yourself out.
What you are doing right now in these threads is not educating people, its only annoying them.

Exactly, a thread with both detailed written and visual information on resolution differences regarding PCBs, ports, ect would be very interesting. There is no "campaign" against resolution discussion, just that it'd be nice if some folks discussed it in a more orderly way ya know?angrycoder wrote:I am sure the information that Recap is offering up is very important to him.

For fuck's sake guys. He mentioned what other people are saying on the internet. I asked if they were reliable sources, to which he replied not really. I said that was good news, and Recap stated his opinion that he thinks that arcade resolution this gen is not going to happen. (Would spam get a serious reply?) Then what happens? Herr jumps in with a pretty assholish comment and then says nothing. If that's not trolling, what is? To top it off, I thought his reply showed restraint compared to what everyone knows he's capable of.
I'm not saying Recap sugar coats anything... far from it. But pointing out his posts as spam or useless amongst the piles of tripe is just just fucking silly. As per before. Don't read 'em if they bother you... that's what I do.

Dylan, what the hell is this? This is nothing more than bullying people. If you're going to ban someone, you should do it. Any issues or warnings you need to take up with that person should be done by PM. To put your warning here in public view and bold it is just juveniele.Dylan1CC wrote: And admin doesn't like the way you post either. You are being warned. Got it?
Yes, I too get tired of this sort of whining about visual quality, and I post that point just as loudly as Recap posts his. I made a whole thread about GGW about it actually.
Again, if you really feel like the board is suffering then take action, but don't make a spectacle of it.

I wouldn't sweat it. There are 4-5 shops that are giving out telephone cards with pre-orders... they will have plenty. This is a pretty big release.Zweihander wrote:the reason i'm worried about my g/f finding the game is that she's going to Akihabara a few days after it's released-- i hope it's not sold out completely by then in that area :/

Oh, c'mon. You must consider that Dylan1CC does not only moderate this very board pretty competently stopping any trolling attempt but also he's a pretty informative poster. Just see a few posts above:
This is the type of informative posts he usually does, in case anyone missed them. Keep in mind that he also is "a person who plays Progear on a JAMMA rig and RGB monitor and knows the importance and beauty of true arcade resolution". So it's normal he demands a truly elaborated and separated thread about CRT resolutions and pixel technicalities even when someone just asked how the res was in a single game.Dylan1CC wrote:I ordered my limited edition pack today so I will get it...this Saturday if lucky or next week i am guessing.

Okay, there is a flaming war going on. Let's ignore it and pretend that it has not being started.
I have contacted my friend who work at the local wholesaler. He said he can sold me a few copies at US$52 (+ 8.06 postage w/ insurance ). If any of you guys want me to get you a copy please PM me within 4 hrs. I would meet him and get my copy today after work.
P.S. - I can only accept PayPal payment.
Yes, piracy is really that bad. It is really unfair that those people play pirate copies are already enjoying the game, while those whom have preordered it still have to wait for days.GaijinPunch wrote:Well, that's good (I guess). Anyways, man... didn't know PS2 piracy was so bad. The store I get it from just got it today, as they sent the shipping quote to me. I couldn't imagine HK getting it the same day. Maybe they're not the ones uploading shit.
