Okay, technical question:  Has anyone tried this with a PSP emulator, and does it work well with the timed hit mechanic?

EDIT: Upon further research, it appears that most of the emulators work under firmware version 2.x and such.  The firmware on my PSP is 3.90 M33-2.  Any solutions?

So Nintendo's been pretty savvy with their Shopware lately.  Think there's any chance that they'll throw the translation team a bone and drop this onto Virtual Console?

Considering I can't find a slot 2 card that isn't completely arcane, I'll be trying this on a PSP. I'll keep you posted.

A year month ago? I would have LOLed. But now, I could completely see them translating this for DSi Ware.

I'm four hours into the game on my PSP, and I've managed to get 16-hit combos a few times, so the timing works pretty well. However, I do make it a point to save my game and turn off the emulator every 30-60 minutes or so just in case. (When I was playing Mario & Luigi on the emulator, the sound kept getting way out of synch, and resetting the emulator was the only way to fix it.)

Okay, Rosen: What's your setup?  Firmware, emulator...GIVE ME THE SKINNY  :HUGE:

EDIT: Got it running.  Haven't done combat or anything, but...

Use this emulator.  You'll need to provide your own BIOS, but that's to be expected.  Of course, your results may vary based on firmware hacks and whatnot.

I'm using 4.01 M33, and apparently an older version of the emulator you linked -- mine is just called gbSP without all that other stuff. I should try that new one and see if it's any better.

Nice touches.  The burnt, crispy characters come out of a house for a dip in a spring.  Their bodies submerge, their heads do not, and so they exit the spring with their bodies de-crispified, but with their heads still charred.

Bingo.  The plethora of October releases seem so irrelevant compared to this.

How exactly do the combo hits work?

Feel the rhythm!  Let the music FLOW THROUGH YOU.

When the dialog box pops up with "Lucas attacks!" or whatnot, I like to stop for a second and let a bar or two pass to get properly in the groove, then I start hitting A to both clear the dialog and start the combo.  Every fourth hit will deal a little more damage than the rest.  It takes a little practice to get down, but it's totally worth it, especially early on, I find.  I imagine that getting good with the timed hits early on will only make life that much easier as the game continues...until it throws the Earthbound equivalent of Dragonforce at me. :ohshi~:

If you put an enemy to sleep, the music will quiet down a little and you'll be able to hear the enemy's "heartbeat", which is really just the rhythm of that particular battle music.

Haven't played deep enough to get sleep skills yet, but yeah, that too.

Also, I saved the game after the big thing in Chapter 1, and when I loaded up this morning, I was back with Flint and Thomas in the rain :ohshi~: :sadpanda:

That happened to me once, but it turned out not to be a problem because I save-state religiously.

I have a feeling we're going to need this.  Since the game is conveniently broken up, please use spoiler tags anyway (lol) and label them from whatever chapter you're talking about.
