Re: Fixed and Translated hacks
UPDATE: Nothing new yet. Hyper VI has been updated to fix a late-game crash in the English version. Since very little was changed, you'll probably be fine loading from a savestate made in the previous version as long as you use the same optional patch configuration (though I'm not going to guarantee...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - To everyone there is a boon, and a time to every rom hack under heaven
To everyone, turn, turn, turn. There is a boon, turn, turn, turn. And a time to every romhack under heaven. A time to BOON START, a time to GAME OVER. A time to 1-UP, a time to farm on. A time to stomp, a time to get big. A time to 'heh', a time to 'voyons!' I don't think we could be absolutely sure...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like nostalgia to old people bored of current trends (or who want to reuse titles)
I was going to edit my previous post with this but then another post followed it and I thought it would be weird. This stage had a minor compatibility issue that would cause the background to flash a painful shade of bright yellow for one frame when you entered the final area. https://cdn.discordapp...

Yeah, the audio being scratchy in the retro stages is definitely an emulator thing. Or should I say that the audio not being scratchy was an emulator thing, since ZSNES is legendary for having really lazy audio emulation. There's not much we could do about it since none of us are experts on this sor...

Re: Opera x Video Game Music OTP
The entire plot of Gabriel Knight 2 is about a lost Wagner opera,
which is of course played near the end of the game (massive spoilers of course)

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like affordable and spacious housing to a Tokyo resident
Version 1.04 of VIP 5, which raocow was playing last time, introduced a bug in the one room castle level, and if you saw the previous LP you already know what I'm talking about. When the text at the start finished, you would get a wall of D printed across the entire space in where the text was in fr...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like steel soles to the platformer protagonist
I think there is something wrong with the RNG (bad seed?), if it causes the boss to appear on the top row so many times in a row. Then again, if this was better designed, it should only appear on the bottom and middle rows. The thing about randomness is that sometimes you do get stuff like that eig...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like insulating socks to the eternally snowbound
I did not catch the art reference. 魔方陣 in maths does refer to what is called a magic square in English, but when spelled in hiragana as it is in the game it becomes まほうじん, which is a homophone for 魔法陣, which refers to the circles you see in damn near every anime involving magic ever. Just google ima...

Re: Fixed and Translated hacks
Thanks for letting me know. The cause was a simple patch conflict that didn't appear until I got everything ready for release. I've fixed it so anyone that wanted to play with the fix on, please download the hack again.

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like a bicycle to those who want to ride it where they like
Guess I'll drop some more commentary here. Larry's Mysterious Machines is actually somewhat of an in-name-only reference to the final Koopaling castle in VIP 3, the one right before Bowser's castle. In our retranslation of VIP 3 we put the name of that as "Larry's Mysterious Machinations",...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like a basin of potable water to a Fremen with a damaged stillsuit
About what's in the video tags: "Water Land" is the Japanese name of Dire Dire Docks in SM64, but there's no evidence that this stage is an outright reference. It's way too generic a name, plus it doesn't have any of the elements from the one in SM64 besides the presence of a lot of water....

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like a talent for missing the ground to those trying to fly
With raocow finishing the Blue Switch Palace/Super Malice World, it made me wonder: is there an earlier point that your can actually hit any of the previous blue switches? All of the blue switches in the first room are actually not real, they're just concrete blocks essentially. The ones in the sec...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like a talent for missing the ground to those trying to fly
So while vgperson's translation from eight years ago was pretty solid on the whole, I felt like I should comment on a rather glaring difference that people who are watching the old LP alongside this one will undoubtedly be struck by; she had the final textbox as "I want chicken" instead of...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like barf bags to plane passengers with inner ear problems
The idea behind re-binding isn't that it would somehow cheat the pausing, but rather that in the past (in a different level which he mentions in the video), raocow was struggling with the physical location of the pause button on his controller and had a lot of trouble when he needed to press other ...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like barf bags to plane passengers with inner ear problems
The thing that causes the pausing in this level is actually really simple. It's an invisible custom sprite that when spawned merely cues up the pausing sound effect, sets the pause flag, and then despawns itself immediately. It's a total of about five lines of relevant code. There are a whole bunch ...

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like a vein of mithril to a late Third Age Dwarven smithy
It's easier to find accurate words that start with the letter 'D' than it is for the letter 'U' in English (thanks to prefixes like 'dis-' and 'de-'). And as long as they start with the same letter it doesn't really matter for the joke which letter it is.

Re: VIP 5 2019 - Like mammoth-sized lungs to a trumpeter playing Moto Perpetuo
As you can see, in the Japanese version all the lowercase letters of the latin alphabet had to me removed to make space for the Japanese characters!
