Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

Modern computers are also much more powerful than any current console hardware.

Also, a remaster doesn't have to be published physically.

I can get a consistent 60fps frame rate on my 1.8 GHz 4GB Ram Dell laptop that is three years old now, while playing Brawl.

So yeah, it's not as resource heavy as you might imagine.

I was surfing trough the internet and i found this:

Spoiler: J.O, Joestar group is here!

 

[Deleted member]

I already have OC names for MUs at this point

Apparently, Def+ is needed to get past the first few chapters
Also, I have cutscene voices set to japanese for some reason
Let's make that part of the challenge, why not?
Also also, you can really see the difference in quality between Awakening and Fates models
Now, let's abuse my jesus powers, shall we?

 

[Ura]

Finally got rid of the Youngster and now my avi is the AW Trio.

AW5 confirmed.

Awakening feels like an anine with Lissa saying onii-chan
Now I see why people were disappointed with the removal of dual audio
Well, this is gonna be a hard run, people may think Awakening is easy but I'm sure Lunatic will be a challen--

Wait what? I just pressed some buttons and when I looked back I was fighting Validar

>Brawl

Smash Bros is literally the easiest game to get running on an emulator.

It doesn't speak at all for other games. They're all much more resource intensive.

 

[Soul.]

It's just cringeworthy to have to pay full price or even near full price for a game that's over a decade old. I don't see why anyone would want that for the NX.

No one is forcing you to buy it. People just want to see a game they loved back then to be reimagined on newer platforms.

Not really, that reward would go to NSMBWii.

Anyway, if the laptop can run Xenoblade at 40-ish fps, it's not outside the possibility of a next gen console.

And what resolution are you running them at?

The NX would want them running at least at 1080p. Even 4K if rumours are true.

 

[FalKoopa]

And what resolution are you running them at?

Native resolution, I'll admit.

Does the WiiU run Wii games at 720p/1080p though?

 

[Burruni]

And what resolution are you running them at?

The NX would want them running at least at 1080p. Even 4K if rumours are true.

....You can't run emulated games at higher resolutions than the ones they were programmed for, right?
Like, weren't the N64 emulated games on Wii/WiiU still like 360/480p?

 

[ChikoLad]

Native resolution, I'll admit.

Does the WiiU run Wii games at 720p/1080p though?

It runs them at upscaled 1080p.

Though if NX is going to be 4K compatible, it would want to run them at native 1080p.

Awakening is a game about strategy

Here you can see the most famous tactic in military history, which consists of throwing spells at enemies from a river since they can't walk on water
This was used by Russia against Germany during WWII, except the water was frozen

You can. Dolphin allws you to scale up the game to the resolution of your monitor.

That's probably why I was seriously unimpressed when TP HD was unveiled, having already seen it in 1080p.

It runs them at upscaled 1080p.

Though if NX is going to be 4K compatible, it would want to run them at native 1080p.

I see. You might have a point there, then. Native resolution emulation is still very much possible though. It's up to Nintendo's wizards.

Let me restate the question: Have we had an official case of an emulator (VC) playing games at a higher-than-natural resolution?
This is like a side of gaming I never really dabbled into.

Not an official one, no. Because the hardware was never good enough.

The NX could theroetically have the right hardware, but it's the difference in architecture that becomes the problem. Running Wii games on Wii U for example, was easy because they use similar architecture.

 

[Wario Bros.]

If backwards compatibly was easy, nobody would have more than one console.

It's not like we can all have this guy's "Project Unity"

This was self made using the systems' original hardware and zero emulation. It cover 15 consoles:

- Amstrad GX4000
- Sega Master System
- Atari 7800
- ColecoVision
- Intellivision
- Sega Megadrive
- Super Nintendo
- Nintendo 64
- Nintendo Entertainment System
- Game Boy Advance
- NeoGeo MVS
- Nintendo GameCube
- Sega Dreamcast
- Sega Saturn
- PlayStation 2

WAIT YOU CAN GO INTO THE RIVER ON THAT MAP?!

Only Chrom and Robin can do it
For some reason, they can walk on water
It's the safest way to clear this map on Lunatic since Robin can chip down the enemies HP
Basically

Spoiler

The group of enemies near the boss will only charge you if you get in range of someone
As there's a mage, Robin can aggro him and counter with Thunder
The barbarians and myrmidions will only move after thaf if there's a unit near the shore(as they can't hit you if you're in the middle)
Chrom aggros them near Robin while Robin himself slowly kills them
It'd be near impossible to beat all five enemies in a 1 range fight

I never knew about this.
Then again it's like one of 3 maps in the entirety of Awakening that has water; alongside Chapter 12 and the big tree mission.

Some classes can, but only one square by turn
Pirates in the GBA games are the best example of that

If the water is shallow enough, you can move space at a time with certain ground units.... Unless your name is Takumi and you're carrying the Fujin Yumi.

Lunatic is literally Robin Emblem with some Frederick Ho Yay Pair Ups

Ah yeah I forgot about that actually...did that often on the map you recruit Morgan, was tedious AF but was still quicker than going around...

I only played Awakening so far so my FE knowledge is still rather limited...its been awhile since I played it either but the next time a play an FE game will probably be when I eventually pick up Fates...eventually...lol

5. Yes and all of Ridley theories that came with it.

6. Green. Though I love all sorts of colors. uwu

7. Halberd, simply because of the impact to me it had as a kid. While the majority of others felt underwhelming in comparison.

8. Naaaaaah, not by a longshot. In fact, I don't hate anyone around these parts.

9. Nope, just HD, 60 FPS.
