Damn, I completely forgot about Bowser's "retirement" from being the Nintendo of American President, and started reading the quote as a brand new coverage of it. Uhh, I got nothing to say about him joining Hasbro, so it's whatever really. Probably will be rather under the radar as he was as his last job. OK guess I did.

Likewise with Pritchard both myself not knowing what he's been up to like you are Moony, and being under the radar too like I thought Doug Bowser was.

I don't know if anyone here has ever wanted to play Tales of Phantasia X over its released remakes, but I just saw that the game has been fully translated and patched to run at 60fps.

The time is now! Tales of Phantasia Cross Edition is now available in English and with optional 60 fps battles! This project was only made possible thanks to mziab and the people at Phantasian Productions. To celebrate, here's some art by @beltran_sadie. All relevant links below.

In other fan effort related news, Bloodborne emulation on PC is apparently at a point where it can run at 4k 60fps:



Apparently there's other features such as disabling the motion blur and FXAA, and also running the game at anything above 100fps causes the game engine to start screaming like the Cleric Beast. I wonder how long it'll be before a randomizer gets made for this?

...So I had a pleasant surprise when I randomly stumbled upon the Legend of Dragoon page on my PS5. See, despite having complained before that it doesn't work, I apparently own Legend of Dragoon and a few other PS1 originals that are available on PS5. I bought them on PS3, but I guess the system didn't recognize them, at first? Oh well, I now have Legend of Dragoon installed on my PS5. What a time to be alive.

They probably hadn't gone through the PS5 specific emulation checklist, (or, likely, some legal red tape allowing them to renew contracts for newer consoles) but it's great to hear it's working now?

[Maniakkid25]

I'd believe the contracts thing for Wild Arms, but Legend of Dragoon is wholly developed and owned by Sony. And plus, some of the games I bought on PS3 (Parasite Eve being a glaring example) aren't even available on PS5 as of the writing of this post. So, I don't know what happened, nor do I really care. All I know is I don't have to rebuy Legend of Dragoon for PS5, because I totally would have done that to aid in sending a message to remake the damn game, already!

Side note, the PSX emulator built into the PS5 has Save States, and can rewind time to earlier in gameplay. I thought that was really neat.
