dis astranagant posted:Not using hamachi, I just had him connect to my actual static ip. We're using the same iso, the same emulator version and turned off fast memory. Also set the emulated cpu clock to 1000 per instructions in some thread on the ppsspp forums. Haven't tried letting him host because he's a little Er, I'm no expert so hey I could be super wrong about this, but all of the instructions I've ever seen for doing online adhoc with MH involve using VPNs like Hamachi or Evolve or whatever. Here are the instructions that worked for us: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3538945&pagenumber=233&perpage=40#post428506666 You don't need to do any ini editing since all of those options are in the settings menu now, and ignore everything he wrote about toggling speeds because the newest versions of the emulator don't require you to do that anymore. You can just start quests as you normally would and if fast memory is off no one should drop. Both the host and anyone connecting to him need to put the host's VPN IP address into the ProAdhocServer IP address field in the emulator. In Hamachi your own IP is shown at the top of the main window. Also uh, minor advice if you do decide to use Hamachi, we've found that having the main Hamachi window visible on screen seems to introduce a lot of lag for some reason? Very mysterious. So just minimize it or close it to the taskbar or whatever. e: I basically just sent this along with the hamachi group instructions to the people I play with and everything worked out well.

Disconnecting in the hall sounds like bad connection problems or something. You both have green lights next to your names in Hamachi? Direct tunnel? Are you on opposite ends of the planet?

If you want to PM me your hamachi group I could try connecting and/or hosting if you like, since I know everything is set up correctly on my end.

You both might try setting it to that. If either of you have cheats on you should turn them off too.

Since this thread opens with gushing about Rengoku 2: is there ever going to be a point where ranged weapons aren't ridiculously better than melee? I can't even imagine trying to fight Briareus with the clumsy melee combos I've had so far but every good ranged weapon I've found (like the three round burst missiles, macro needler and t8 bazooka) curbstomps everything in just a few quick shots.

Melee weapons are basically an all-or-nothing kind of deal, usually, since you need to have them equipped on 3-4 limbs to get a decent combo out of them. They tend to be better for killing mooks than bosses, though. A simple early game combo would be blades on both arms and the stun gun on the chest for maximum overkill. Ranged weapons are safer, but melee weapons tend to pack more of a punch, in my experience. A certain very specific part you get late in the game makes melee straight up overpowered, however. I'm kinda surprised anyone likes the needler, it's one of my least favorite weapon types. Goes to show Rengoku 2 actually lets you make a good variety of builds.

Bind a key to turbo, set turbo to 25%. Both of you hit it before going in to the loadscreen. Turn it off when the quest starts. It is stupid as hell and I don't understand why it hasn't been patched, but the game detects your ping and drops you past a certain point. Dropping the game speed gives you a much larger margin of ping acceptability.

Try setting the emulator's MAC address to what the PSP's was. Note that this is just spitballing based on the fact that some jerks (Sega.) have done things like that before, and if it's actually locked by account or some other intrinsic variable of the PSP you could be in trouble, because I don't think PPSSPP can emulate those parts of the system. Likewise I don't know if a decrypter would work, because the game on the emulator might not take decrypted files and the emulator's not plugin-friendly enough to re-encrypt things yet. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Sep 20, 2014 |

Helps me pin down dudes that keep dodging around. Also keep in mind one-shotting enemies isn't always the way to go, as you get more drops from comboing them after death. That's why I like weapons like chainsaws and stun guns, for the quick stream of hits, allowing me to make the most of every kill. By the way, it might not SEEM like it's very useful, but I found flame-based weapons, especially the flamethrower line, to be invaluable against particularly annoying minibosses, since they are just as subject to overheating as you are.

Well, it's got that covered because that one shot is actually 12 really fast ones. I've also gotten multiple drops from one posthumous rocket, so I think it's based on how much you fill their overkill bar anyway.

I've seen Evolve and SoftEther mentioned as alternatives but I didn't have any luck getting people to connect with the former and haven't tried the latter at all. Reddit uses Evolve, you could always hijack their servers whenever they're running or I guess try asking them in the Evolve chat how to set your own up.

One recent PPSSPP addition (it might be just in the Github builds?) that I highly recommend everyone turn on is 'Load ISO into Memory' if you've got 8gb RAM or more. It'll add maybe 5-20 seconds initial load time to the game, but it speeds up emulation hugely, especially streaming upscaled textures. On top of that, it reduces natural load times in-game down to effectively nil. Deploying units in Valkyria Chronicles 3 is now snappier and more responsive - no more of that telltale brief pause as it accesses the character data on the 'disc'. Also, this really doesn't look like a PSP game anymore, does it?  I've found that forcing the virtual PSP to run at 1ghz also speeds some stuff up, and avoids some sound sync issues.

No texture breaking or goofs that I've seen, at least. The biggest thing is caching ISO to RAM - it speeds up texture upscaling massively. Before, 4x would cause it to stutter quite heavily. Now I almost never see a frame dropped. End result: Valkyria Chronicles 3 is all growed up.  I've got a midrange PC - i5-3570k, Geforce 660ti, 8gb RAM - you could probably drop resolution and scaling down one notch and get a bunch more performance if you needed it. Edit: Just did one more test - Metal Gear Acid 2 hits my systems limits. It can only hit 89% emulation speed. Dropping it down to 3x rendering resolution gets it back up to 100 again.

Truly, you are the best at video games. Don't you think these games suit being hooked up to the TV and running on, say, an Xbox 360 controller? I take it there's no way to run PPSSPP using a PS3 or a PSP as the controller, but with this graphical awesomeness? They just seem so couchworthy.

Didn't even have to set up my controls - the Home button brings up the save-state menu, too. The PSP had a lot of pretty beefy RPGs and ports from consoles, so yeah, no reason not to enjoy it this way.

I switched to Bicubic because xBRZ made them look like a smeary mess for me, unless this is mitigated by some of your other options. Looks pretty good to me - I think 2D stuff upscales pretty gracefully with those settings:     Edit: Those are all at 3x render resolution, but I think it's still 4x texture scaling, which should be excessive but doesn't seem to have much negative effect. Edit 2: Yep I also turned on Fast Memory, Multithreaded, I/O on Thread and Force Real Clock Sync, seemingly to no ill effect. Dominic White fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Dec 5, 2014 |

Oh sorry, I meant the little tiny boxes for when you're selecting units like to change classes or equipment. I guess there's just so little detail there that trying to upscale it in the first place is a lost cause. I probably should have asked when I wasn't at work and could actually provide screenshots to compare.

Anything with really low pixel density is going to be illegible no matter what, like the little hand-drawn notes on the text screens. It's just as hard to decipher without upscaling, so I figure it doesn't make too much difference either way.

(Bicubic) vs.  (xBRZ) It's not just the portraits/icons, a lot of the text looks kind of weird with xBRZ to my eyes. Like a Blu-ray that's been too heavily run through an artificial sharpener (Sword in the Stone for example). Bicubic feels a lot more natural, at least for me.

Honestly, I don't think it's that big of a difference. The main reason I use xBRZ is because bicubic kicks up a whole lot of graphical artifacts on multi-sprite tiled layouts. Menus in particular tend to have faint lines/breaks in them, which looks really janky. Of all the upscaler types, xBRZ is the only one that doesn't seem to generate any errors.
