Serenes Forest's Teehee Thread

[Saint Rubenio]

Night time Ruben strikes again. I keep leaving Azura in enemy range. She's so useless in this map, seriously... Well, okay, upper Azura is fine, but lower Azura can't sing or heal! So what good is she?

I do love me some Conquest.

Although I haven’t touched lunatic, but it sounds like it’s not that different until the very end. And Conquest Hard is plenty hard anyway.

From my experience? Basically the same game, just with way cooler generics with capped weapon ranks to capture. Until Ryoma. Then it becomes godawful and you're better off downgrading to hard. Okay, maybe that's going a bit too far, but... Well, the difficulty too goes a bit too far, so it's a warranted exaggeration.

I haven’t used it yet since I wanted a break from New Mystery. I just booted it up to see if it was working after the standard DeSmuME gave up twice. Apparently it doesn’t like recruitment, it first gave up when I recruited Roger and then when I recruited Jeorge. And New Mystery is not the game to not like recruiting in.

I did get a really cool glitched version of Together We Ride out of it, though.

Hopefully that doesn't happen in the alternate version.

Oh, so don’t upscale fe12. Okay.

Wouldn't make a difference anyway. The upscaling's noticeable with 3D graphics and this game has none.

I get three more if I’m too lazy to export my save from the old DeSmuME to the new one.

I would hope they're compatible.

I would hope.

Ah man, I definitely wouldn't have had that playing SD on my DS.

No wonder you speak in favour of it?

Well, to be fair, I don't think I've ever used the normal Desmume. Or if I did, it was so long ago I no longer remember it. And if what I hear of the Desmume devs is right, I haven't missed out on much.

A joke that brings this to mind.:

An original Game Boy that Nintendo keeps on public display in NYC, it survived a blast during the Gulf War in the 90s. Still functioned afterwards.

Well, it's not like you haven't used similar in other emulators if I remember you saying so.

Also, abnormal desmume?

Yeah, I know the battle models are ugly enough to look 3D, but they're not, they're sprites.

How did I play through the entirety of Shadow Dragon and am just now realizing that the battle models are in fact, not models, but sprites?

I would hope.

They almost certainly are since they’re both DeSmuME, but I just like the new feel if I’m going to start a new run without having my old first file sitting there, glaring at me.

I’ll use the old save if I want to continue it, assuming this emulator works better.

From what I recall, yes. That's how they realized it could still run games. The only thing that needed replacement was the display screen, but that more a formality to see it at work, since nowadays it just runs Tetris in demo mode.

Absolutely nothing, but you have to admit, that's a pretty dumb move to do when you're making an emulator.

True enough.

I don't blame you for the confusion. They were clearly made to look "modely", but yeah, they're not models. You can tell because when you upscale on x456r, there isn't any obvious improvement to the battle models. And let me tell you, the difference is extremely noticeable, the DS pixelates the heck out of its 3D models.

Very well.

[Sooks]

Actually, I probably should try the old save file, just in case. It really wouldn’t hurt anything, that was dumb reasoning on my part. Sure it feels slightly better for everything to be new, but it’s okay to have two saves with one unfinished. The completionist in me should get used to that (and if I progress significantly and decide to stay that way I can just, y’know, delete the hard mode save if I really want to).

At least the skill describes itself in the context of Sophie being silly/immature since it’s called “Mischievous” and not anything that would imply other intentions on her part.

Iirc the original japanese was that it was her horse, not her kek

I mean, I guess it would be rather disarming to find your clothes have left your body midbattle.

Ya know, playing the Fates version of Elincia's Gambit makes me wanna see a Fates version of other popular maps in the series

LOL, yes, Avel is behind Fates’ fan service.

But I’m assuming the skills still works in the Japanese version even if you change her class.

Internal level is the level that's used for exp calculations. 

Before Promotion all units level = internal level.

After promotion it depends on when they promote. Those who promote at lvl 10 will have an iternal level of 15 iirc, while those who promote at 20 will have lvl21 internal after promotion.

So why does it jump from 10 ----> 15 and not 20----> 25?

early promoting needs to have some handicap. The internal level increase ensures early promoted unit gets less exp until the enemies are stronger

I don't know if to laugh or commend them they haven't used John yet, considering it's generic as heck. Literally the first half of John Doe.

Well if they can have a Henry, they can have a John as well.

So, guys, funny story.

The most recent DeSmuME uses saves in the .dsv format, while practically every other DS emulator, including older version of DeSmuME, apparently uses .sav. Now, that’s actually not a problem, because the thought DeSmuME devs built into the program a way to export your save files as .sav instead!

Except, when I try to import that save (which it does recognize) onto the DeSmuME that actually works™, I get a message that says something along the lines of ”Save data size cannot reliably be determined” and a couple options from there, but none of them work. Pressing okay with any of them just reloads the emulator, but with no save data there. So, I guess that’s more of an excuse to restart? Assuming this emulator does actually work better, which I hope it does.
