I just thought i would see if anyone has heard of this, and if it's real.

[Clara E. Leet]

Yeah it's real. Can't tell you where to find it though

[Saroor]

Awesome. I took a chance on it. I was afraid it was some virus or something because it seemed to good to be true. The game works though. I still wish it could be released on Wii VC, along with Castlevania 3.

Can I put it on my PSP? Wait, I have DXC, I don't need this.... but still, can I run it on my PSP?

[Bloodreign]

It's made with the emulator Mednafen, but just as an exe file, there's also a Gradius 2 and Zero Wing one. Since you found it, I won't have to PM you any details.

So can I run it on my PSP without any emulators?

um no.

it's a pc emulator bundled with the iso into an exe, so unless you have a cpu with x86 architecture and windows installed on your psp it won't work.

actually i think they did recently port windows xp to the psp or something...

anyway, there's 2 different ways to get rondo on the psp. 1) obviously dxc. 2)pc engine cd emulation. i couldn't give you any more details on the 2nd one, but i understand it to be possible anyway.

In Japan, they released Rondo on the Virtual Console. I think it may take a little bit of time for it to come on the VC here.

Yeah but in order for this thing to be accessible, they downgraded the music to MP3s I'd rather stick with my CD copy and M.E. for the best music quality possible.

Still this is great for the people who never got it figured out and/or couldn't afford to get a PSP just for DXC. It's impressive, and you wonder why it wasn't done sooner.

But... who the hell wastes an AXE on a candle at ground level?

[The Last Belmont]

if anybody wants the link I'll hook them up just lemme know. (outside the boards of course).

There isn't really a big difference. WAV is great but you don't lose that much clarity and oomph going to MP3. I think all the music still sounds great.

you have to:
1-throw your psp on the ground
2-repeatedly slam it with a sledge hammer until it's flat
3-once it becomes a pancake you delete system32 folder from c:\windows\ from your pc
4-??????
5-PROFIT

and then you can play it. :o

There is an option for 48000hz sampling rate for the sound. I thought it sounded fine, or at least I did not notice it much during play, except that the music in that game is awesome.I am going to buy a psp for drac x chronicles though, just for the remake. Two endings so far and working on 100%.
