Played through a couple of levels on normal and the port itself is great overall, but playing this game on a controller (joycons esp) without any aim assist is a nightmare (may be i should've started on easy tho). Also it lags like hell in open wide areas and especially when there is a lot of shooting going on simultaneously (even with decent OC cpu usage is pretty much always ~80-90%). After dozens of attempts and constant save/loading i eventually gave up during mission 3..

There are a few things I can do to make it faster (arm8 qvm direct running, overclock switch, compile code directly into binary natively). I assume that it is possible to add aim-assist, but I'm not really sure right now where to add such. Does anyone know if the vista port has aim assist or similar? From a google search I see the play station 2 official seems to have it, but I don't thing that is open source.

This isnt an issue with using exfat is it?

You need to use title override (hold R on a game on your homescreen) in order to run the game.
Thats the way it worked for me.

Ok, the short of it is that while the key presses were done per context (ui/game/console) the mouse movement and touch settings were being stored globally, which was a bug. So the rstick movement in game context was generating mouse movement and clicks as a bleed over from the ui/console having set them. See if this works better.

I was not experiencing this because my config for some reason had the mouse click set to zoom out.
Great seems to work on AMS 13.2.1 thanks!

So I was able to build the game from the source code, but unfortunately it's only for windows. I want to build the switch version, so I can grab the .nso file, to try making an installable nsp (for personal use). Could you share an .nso file for the latest release? Thanks again for posting this game!

This is a rather nice port despite a few quirks. I guess no further work was pursued on it because of the messy source code? A shame though. Best I can tell this was a PC only game release.

I never gave it too much time cus of long load times but overclocking could possibly help that a little maybe?

Does it even work on newer firmwares?

Yeah it still works. I have the overclocking set and it helps with the load speeds. Overclocking has helped with load speeds on Unreal, Open RCT 2 and Open TT.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think you only get like 425gb on a series s hard drive, so you get 1, 2 next gen games max
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, so you need to have another series s if you wanna play more games?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Nuh you buy extra HD n add to it, but not cheap
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, how can a console have more than 1 hard drives?
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    usb expansion? I know the PS4 can do this
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh Yea I recall my PS3 can do that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Modded ofc
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Speaking of my PS3 i havent downloaded any games yet bc my wifi is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and also because blackouts here are very common and that could damage the console
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    Do you have a surge protector or an UPS?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea but to play the next gen games, you must have those games on internal, or buy the official ssd expansion cards, which are expensive
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, dunno what each one of those are
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, my PS3 was already modded when my dad bought it for me and my brother
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    A surge protector is a device that protects your electronics from fluctuations. I recommend having your console plugged into one of those
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    An UPS is even better because it has an internal battery that keeps your system on even if the power goes out, but it's much more expensive obviously
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh i recall seeing one in some in the houses of some relatives, including my dad's apartment
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, although whatever device we plug into them stops getting power anyways lol
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    that's weird
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, and oh i was talking about ups
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    No not that one
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Surge protectors are what i was talking about
