Man, I can't help you. I didn't even beat the game once yet. Check gamefaqs.com Hey Agozer, if you read this, where are you in the game? I'm just starting disc 2. Heh. I'm a really slow player when it comes to RPGs... I'm on my way to Mosel Dunes.
Eh, it really boils down to the actual releases for each system. So far, Microsoft's first console hasn't impressed me in that field. Sure some of it's releases were good, but still lacking when compared to the PS2 and the CGN.
First things first. Make sure you are at ease with writing algorithms in whatever language you are using before starting graphical programming. That is the problem with Drake's case... He wants to get into making graphics (or rather, something that can be called a graphical game) way too early. Jesus Christ man, learn the basics extremely well before even dreaming about doing graphics.
If I would have to choose I'd get both the PS3 and the next Nintendo console, preferably both. I won't touch a Bill-BOX until Microsoft totally redesigns the look of the BOX and the controller. Oh and gives the BOX more *good* games.
I feel bad for both of them. If I would have been in the man's shoes, I would probably have lost hope after four months, but I certainly wouldn't have killed myself.
Kurt Angle wannabe. You better recognize the skills before I lay the smackdown on your candy a$$....If you can smell lalalalalala what the Rock is cooking.... You can't see me.
Please edit your original post rather than making a new post. The flood control is there for a reason. Tell me what this "blue print" is, but don't spoil too much of the story (is storyline is involved at all), because I haven't finished this game yet.
Just switch Kawaks to Arcade Mode and play SS5S in Arcade. The Zetsumei Ougis have been locked out, but search the board and you'll most likely find cheats to enable fatalities.
I don't have the patch, but I can tell you that the decrypted romset works fine. I just hope that you have the decrypted M1 rom as well, since getting the right Vs won't cut it.
