Topic: Castlevania HiDef (through Emulation)

[KaZudra]

Since Mirror of Fate is getting the HD treatment, I'd figure what would DXC look like with the home console look?

I used the new PSP emulator PPSSPP with a 100% savefile (it has problems, like a few infinite load-screens)

Rendered at hi-res
16x Anisotropic Filtering
5x Upscaled Textures (Hybrid + Bicubic)
Anti-Aliasing (Doesn't say, but I read somewhere 2x SMAA)

WARNING: these images are like 4mb a piece

2x MSAA
Widescreen Patch

Went to high quality Jpeg, so no 2mb a pic

man I would buy a HD version of Castlevania Dracula x Chronicles in a heartbeat.

Same for HD Mega Man Maverick Hunter X.

You can play it in a TV if you get a PSP and a TV adapter. It will not be in HD, but even so its cool.

I would love to play this game on something that isn't a PSP for once.

Shame we never got that Dracula's Curse remake.

Wow! It's so pretty. 

Shame we never got that Dracula's Curse remake.

Yup. 

[Pfil]

It looks awesome!

By the way, I have a doubt about this game.
I recently installed the .pkg file in my PS3, and since the PS3 emulates it by hardware, I was very surprised by how slow the "Stage" letters appear. Here it's mentioned that the game has loading problems.
In case anyone knows...
Why is this? And how can I correct this error in the PS3?

Unfortunately it leaves about a third of the TV unused. Had it actually filled the screen (and been a longer cord), I'd be OK.

If you get the right adapter it will fill your TV, alternative ones can do that. I know because I've searched a lot of things about a PSP a year ago, you can find about that quite easily. It involves a adapter, a homebrew and thats all IIRC.

You can play it in a PS3 if you want to see it in full screen.
Download the PSP to PS3 .pkg file and install it just as every PSN title.
But it takes a minute every time a stage starts, since there's a problem with the letters of each level (they appear terribly slow and nothing moves until they disappear).

Without hacking your PS3?

Does PPSSPP finally play the game without having to use the save exploits? I played through the first stage and it doesn't ever load up the 1st boss fight. I'd LOVE to be able to play DXC in HD on my PC.

Installing Rogero, which allows you to play downloaded PS3 and PSN games, as well as modified ISO's from PSX, PS2 and PSP, that can be installed as .pkg files and are emulated by hardware.
This doesn't prevent you from keep on playing original games, but it's a good way of playing games otherwise would be impossible to get (like GalGun for PS3 or Valkyria Chronicles 3 for PSP).

[Lelygax]

Why Galgun and Valkyria Chronicles are impossible to get?

The game works rather well stage 2 and beyond, original games still cannot be accessed.... those were issues promised to be fixed with the new version but oh well I guess...
