Evil Dead: Regeneration - PC Vs. PCSX2 (side by side comparison) Mick 2K 2020-11-01 | This is not supposed to be an extensive comparison.

Found psychopathic, Ash is sentenced to Sunny Meadows, an institute for the criminally insane. Though free from the madness that plagued him in the woods, Ash learns that the Necromonicon Ex Mortis, the Book of the Dead has fallen into the hands of Dr. Vladamir Reinhard, the person in charge of the asylum. In the basement, Dr. Reinhard experiments on unlocking the secrets of the Necromonicon. Using a helpless inmate named Sam as a test subject, the mad doctor frees the evil and once again Ash must live the nightmare as evil forces break free and inmates are turned into zombie deadites!Evil Dead Regeneration is a third person action game like The Suffering. Players control Ash, who fights with a variety of collectable weapons, which include the trademark chainsaw-hand and shotgun, as well as a pistol, flamethrower, grenade launcher and a harpoon gun to pick up. For the most part, Ash will need to hack and shoot at various zombie creatures until their bodies become weak. At that point the player can press a button to have Ash unleash a finishing move using his weapons. Ash can also collect "evil essence" in order to turn himself into "Evil Ash", a more powerful version of himself.#pcsx2 #EvilDead #SideBySide

The main goal is to bring as many customers as possible to their destination in time. Available customers are marked through circles and the colour represents the distance and the fare they offer.

Just a quick simple view of the graphical difference you can expect. Rayman 3 (Dolphin Emulator) HD Texture Packraymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25053This is an HD Texture Pack that uses Dolphin Emulator's custom texture loading feature.This Texture Pack up-scales nearly all of the default textures from Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc for the Nintendo GameCube with the official HD textures from the Sony PlayStation 3 version of Rayman 3 HD. (I've also used some of the PC version's textures as well.)Contents:*Over 1350+ HD Textures that come straight from Rayman 3 HD.*Full NTSC-U and PAL Support. This Texture Pack works on both the American and European versions of Rayman 3.*Alternate HD Textures. (Textures that are either used differently or never used in the game at all.)*Custom controller configuration profiles that are recommended to be used with the following:*Selectable Controller HUDs. You can choose to use different HUDs for 3 different types of controllers.These Include:-HD GameCube Controller HUD-Xbox 360 Controller HUD-PS3 Controller HUD-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is a 3D third-person platform game. Rayman, the main hero, jumps and punches his way through numerous colorful levels, with Globox (and Andre inside him) tagging along and occasionally commenting on the goings-on. Rayman's main weapon is his fist; he can use it to shoot projectiles at the attacking Hoodlums and other foes, and the projectiles are more powerful when the fist is charged by holding down the "shoot" button. The game is divided into several worlds, each divided into a couple of levels; the game is saved automatically after each level. In between the worlds, the player has to complete a mini-game where he has to surf along light-beams in a psychedelic environment. Rayman can also come across power-ups which temporarily give him a special power: the green power-up allows him to shoot tornadoes, the blue power-up gives him the ability to use a grappling hook, the yellow power-up allows him to fly for a short while, the orange power-up allows him to shoot precisely guided missiles and the red power-up grants him a very powerful fist that can bash doors. These power-ups are always necessary to defeat an enemy or a boss, or to get to the next part of the level.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PC specs:Intel Core i5 6600K @ 4.40 Ghz16 GB DDR4 @ 2666 MhzGTX 1060 6GBWindows 10 64bit#rayman #texturemod #dolphinemulator

With this technology, the EDF commences a reorganization of the Ultor Corporation with a particular focus on enhanced supersoldiers and suitable weaponry. However, the research that was done by Capek in his laboratories has been consequently stolen by other militant groups and assorted terrorist organizations. This has gone on for years; the research has changed hands in the criminal underworld many times.

Eventually, the research was successfully claimed by the elite forces of Victor Sopot, Chancellor of the dystopic military state known as The Commonwealth. Sopot uses the nanotechnology to enhance his already formidable military forces, and successfully creates the first supersoldiers with the research data. Fearing the potential of his new supersoldiers, he orders them all to be hunted down and executed at once and replaced with far less intelligent, mutated horrors known as "The Processed".

Die Hard Arcade / Dynamite Deka - Saturn Vs. Playstation 2 (PCSX2) Mick 2K 2020-01-03 | This is not supposed to be an extensive comparison. Just a quick simple view of the graphical difference you can expect. PCSX2:buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/index.php---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Die Hard Arcade is the licensed North American, European and Australian version of the Japanese videogame Dynamite Deka. The game is a beat 'em up with loose ties to the Die Hard movie series of the same name. However, other than the title, the building and the fact that the hero (named Bruno Delinger in the Japanese version) resembled John McClane, the game and the movie have little to do with each other (in fact, the license was purchased when the game was essentially complete for the North American, European and Australian releases). It is a 1 or 2 player game in which the male and/or female characters fight through action-packed levels to save the President's daughter from a band of terrorists.

Some goals involve obtaining a high score, others smashing objects, and some collecting objects. For every goal you complete, you earn a video tape. By collecting enough video tapes, you unlock levels and skateboards for you to use. There are 6 levels like this. The second type of level is a competition. You get to make 3 timed runs through a skate park, and attempt to get the highest score possible. If you do well enough, you will beat the scores of the computer controlled skaters and win a medal. There are 3 levels like this. There are nine real life pro skaters you can choose to play as, including Tony Hawk himself. Each skater has their own signature moves that earn you big points if pulled off successfully.#psx #dreamcast #tonyhawksproskater

Redream Widescreen Demonstration Mick 2K 2019-10-12 | Showcase of some games running in widescreen: reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/dghii3/redream_now_supports_cheats_plus_widescreen_hacksRecently Redream added support to cheats in the latest development builds, and with that we also have the possibility to use widescreen cheats. The way you can use the cheats is very easy: simply press the "Main Menu" shortcut (that you can bind to any key or controller button) go to the "Manage Cheats" option and enable or disable whatever cheat you want to use (Widescreen codes are always at the top of the list). I'm testing each of the known codes before adding to the database, so we only list cheats that are known to work properly (also be aware that not every game has widescreen cheats available and not all codes are added yet).Redream site: redream.ioCompatibility list: redream.io/compatibility

Just a quick simple view of the graphical difference you can expect. forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-xenoblade-chronicles-hd-texture-pack-v8-52-august-21-2018-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Life in the world evolved on the bodies of two giant motionless world-gods named Bionis and Mechonis. In this world, Shulk, a young man with mysterious origins, comes across a magical sword named Monado, that allows him to see glimpses of the future. Shulk finds himself caught in the struggle between the humans from Bionis and the machines from Mechonis. Along his quest to defeat the machines he will have to help the inhabitants of Bionis rebuild their world. Xenoblade Chronicles is a Japanese-style role-playing game with several distinguishing characteristics. Exploring the vast world takes a significant part in the gameplay. Weather and day/night cycle influence the availability of quests and characters. In such an open world it is not uncommon to encounter creatures much stronger than what Shulk and his allies can manage. When the player dies he is teleported to the last save point with no penalty. Objectives can be completed in any order and many side quests are available. The fighting system resembles the one from Final Fantasy XII. There is no "battle screen"; battles happen directly in the open field without transition. During the battle attacks are launched automatically at regular intervals. The player selects his actions via a menu. Aside from Shulk, the player can control a team of characters with various abilities. Team attacks are available to inflict extra damage. However, once the player enters a battle, characters cannot be switched, and all other allies are AI-controlled. Also Available Collector's Edition-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PC specs:Intel Core i5 6600K @ 4.40 Ghz16 GB DDR4 @ 2666 MhzGTX 1060 6GBWindows 10 64bit

The player is an elite special forces soldier who has been parachuted onto the island; it is up to them to shoot their way through the undead hordes and stop Dr. Hellman.

Chrono Trigger Opening HD (AI Upscale) Mick 2K 2019-07-28 | Just a quick upscale of the Chrono Trigger opening FMV for learning purposes.I recorded the video in its native resolution and framerate, cropped black borders, extracted every frame to a PNG, upscaled all 2348 frames with waifu2x-caffee to 720p and high noise reduction and at the end interpolated the video from its original 15 fps to 30.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chrono Trigger (Japanese: クロノ・トリガー Hepburn: Kurono Torigā?) is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995. Chrono Trigger 's development team included three designers that Square dubbed the "Dream Team": Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Square's Final Fantasy series; Yuji Horii, a freelance designer and creator of Enix's popular Dragon Quest series; and Akira Toriyama, a freelance manga artist famed for his work with Dragon Quest and Dragon Ball. Kazuhiko Aoki produced the game, Masato Kato wrote most of the plot, while composer Yasunori Mitsuda scored most of the game before falling ill and deferring the remaining tracks to Final Fantasy series composer Nobuo Uematsu. The game's story follows a group of adventurers who travel through time to prevent a global catastrophe. Square re-released a ported version by Tose in Japan for Sony's PlayStation in 1999, later repackaged with a Final Fantasy IV port as Final Fantasy Chronicles in 2001 for the North American market. A slightly enhanced Chrono Trigger, again ported by Tose, was released for the Nintendo DS on November 25, 2008, in North America and Japan, and went on sale in Australia on February 3, 2009 and in Europe on February 6, 2009. The game was never released in PAL territories before the Nintendo DS version. Chrono Trigger was a critical and commercial success upon release and is frequently cited as one of the best video games of all time. Nintendo Power magazine described aspects of Chrono Trigger as revolutionary, including its multiple endings, plot-related sidequests focusing on character development, unique battle system, and detailed graphics. Chrono Trigger was the third best-selling game of 1995, and the game's SNES and PlayStation iterations have shipped 2.65 million copies as of March 2003. The version for the Nintendo DS sold 790,000 copies as of March 2009. Chrono Trigger was also ported to mobile phones, Virtual Console, the PlayStation Network, iOS devices, and Android devices.

It's one of the best soundtracks of all time.Music: The Scars Of Time by Yasunori Mitsuda----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chrono Cross features standard RPG gameplay with some differences. Players advance the game by controlling the protagonist Serge through the game's world, primarily by foot and boat. Navigation between areas is conducted via an overworld map, much like Chrono Trigger's, depicting the landscape from a scaled down overhead view. Around the island world are villages, outdoor areas, and dungeons, through which the player moves in three dimensions. Locations such as cities and forests are represented by more realistically scaled field maps, in which players can converse with locals to procure items and services, solve puzzles and challenges, or encounter enemies. Like Chrono Trigger, the game features no random encounters; enemies are openly visible on field maps or lie in wait to ambush the party

Despite the debilitated state of the mainland, however, a virtually impenetrable last line of defense stands proud and keeps hope alive for all the land. That beacon of hope is Lazulis Island, ruled by the renowned Count Arganan. With the employment of an army of weapons that magically –and mysteriously-- concentrates beasts into a single region, his island has become a small wonder for its powers. Among those coming to the island to seek their fortune is Zael, a young man who at an early age was orphaned when his homeland became one of the many victims of battle. Though he and his band of fellow mercenaries often face disdain and fear as they are perceived to be of a lower class, they manage to catch the eye of none other than Count Arganan himself. If they can successfully complete the tasks put before them by the Count, they may have a rare chance to gain the most honorable status that they have only dreamed of - knighthood. It is during one of these missions bestowed upon them that Zael discovers a hidden site, one which grants him a wondrous and yet familiar power to gather his enemies in one place…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PC specs:Intel Core i5 6600K @ 4.40 Ghz16 GB DDR4 @ 2666 MhzGTX 1060 6GBWindows 10 64bit
