That's odd, it used to work just fine. You can still obtain the researches from trading through research fragments.

>>282531
nope, those just give me a couple fragments back
unless there's some sort of thaumometer scan dependency i've missed
the mod page says something about gadomancy aura cores, i haven't made every flavor of those yet

>>282533
You misunderstood. you can combine the research fragments into researches. This has a chance of giving you researches that normally only come from trades.

I think I covered all your critiques that I was willing to cover. Only now realized you wanted either dashes or dots in "OoS" which I disagree with, Reading the final sentence on the second page again, I decided to make that its own final line, and ended up agreeing with the "anyone" critique of yours.
I changed the words a little, as you can see in pics related. I do not believe the little changes I made have any punctuation or other errors, though I could clearly be wrong.

>>282302
FUCK those don't have all the text edits I made. Please ignore those files and instead refer to these

>>282271
>why get rid of unfortunately
I'm not saying you shouldn't use it, the sentence is a little ... I don't even have a word for it, I'm tired as fuck. For some reason I get the feeling there's too many stops in the form of "unfortunately", "two" and "3" being next to each other (vertically), and the OoS thing. 
>comma in bus sentence
If [yadda yadda], then [bla bla bla].
That's just grammar, you're supposed to put a comma in to separate the condition and result.

Yeah, the other stuff you said was "preference" really was just that. Keep the way you like.

>>282325
>condition and result
huh no shit. Thank you, I'll try to remember that.

On what version of NoPSMDRM or you currently on? Maybe an update came out, if that won’t do the I honestly have no clue but considering that you have used a new method to get them maybe that is the problem.

I managed to get it to work, like you suspected the Sunshine side had to be on wifi as well, tried to connect while Sunshine was wired via ethernet and I couldn’t find the device. Switching both devices to wifi worked (still had to manually add it on the Vita). As for the performance it’s hard to say, I fiddled a bit with the settings and the lag is there but for slower games it might just work, visually it looks very good.
People had better luck with Moonlight on the Vita than me probably due to a non ghetto wireless setup.

>>281704
>On what version of NoPSMDRM or you currently on?
Version 1.5
>Maybe an update came out
From what I can tell, I am using the latest version.
>if that won’t do the I honestly have no clue but considering that you have used a new method to get them maybe that is the problem. 
Possibly. What I did with the games is that I downloaded them from Myrient, turned the PKG files in zips using pkg2zip, extracted the ZIPs, and then copied the PSM folder to my Vita TV through FTP.

I should note that I want to find out what's wrong as I now cannot even extract PSM games I downloaded through NPS.

>>280299
>>282238
A bit of an update. Happened across a site that backed up the PSM server data before the Sony shut them down: http://psmreborn.com/
So now I can download and unpack the games that where previously available through PKGj/NPS (By adding the site's URL to the config file), including a few extra titles I didn't know about previously, but that's it.

So now it's about finding a way to play the PSM games that don't have any available licenses or keys floating around.

Also found this Git in the process that links to a lot of useful resources for Vita users: https://github.com/MuxaJlbl4/Awesome-PlayStation-Vita

So how much is good old goy asking for a 40 year old computer game, that has to be run in emulator because basically nobody has a fucking Commodore 64 now.
Also they're pulling all the SSI Games, it's not just this one.

>>259993 (OP) 
Reminder that back then games were large boxed copies with giant fucking manuals and occasionally more shit where the dev/publisher got a much fucking smaller cut of the final sales price because of production and distribution costs. Nowadays they're all taking at least 70% of the digital sales price in their own pockets and are selling games in much larger quantities too.

The reason prices go up is because of fucking greed, bloated development, incompetent management, and more fucking greed. Not inflation.

>>259993 (OP) 
It means to never pay more than $20 for a videogame.
Next question.

I think I finally realized the "solution" to the "buyfag conundrum".
One of the things that's been bothering me about vidya for the past several years is just how many games have officially been released for free at some point. And this includes everything from recent AAA titles (Deathloop, GotG, Dead Island 2), to popular older games (Rogue Squadron, Splinter Cell, Lego Batman, Planescape), to even obscure as shit titles (A&OXXL, XIII, Flashback). And one of the problems I have with this process is that, to me, it gives zero reason to ever want to find and acquire these games in the wild. That there's almost never any point in wanting to get these games, or any other games for that matter, because you'll eventually get them for free (Legally) at some point.

And this is where I think the entire 'POINT' of buyfagging gets overlooked. It has absolutely nothing to do with buying the popular or best games, or even supporting the creators. It has to do with the fact that you're buying a game that will never see the light of day again, and preserving that so other people can play that game in the future. All these other games that are "digital only" or being rereleased ad nauseam shouldn't or don't need to be bought because they will never become "lost media". Especially in this day and age where everyone is preserving the shit out of eve

Make sure to stick around for the postgame stuff, you've still got quite a few unique monsters to hunt minimum (including quest cutscenes) albeit all of them are previous gen returners. There's one in particular that always gets a fun kick out of newfags who aren't aware of it's gimmick/s. Also the Zoh gets it's real fight + Dahaad gets it's slay quest, and neither fuck around this time, even by veteran player standards.

I would rather give that title to China and Korea, Ivan.
Also stumbled upon this VNDB thread ( https://vndb.org/t18896 ) and found some pretty revealing lines.

And the fact that it supposedly relies heavily on internet culture alone is a red flag.

That's the freaky part, what I'm looking for are imitations, and I'm struggling to find even one. My post is complaining that all western VNs that try to resemble Japanese ones in any way either do it like in "irony" (DDLC) or to push agendas (Katawa Shoujo), or have mind-numbing non-moe art.
I remembered that I had this one ( https://vndb.org/v36862 ) bookmarked, and that the art actually looks moe, and as a bonus it's not low quality. But then I realized that there's a Japanese artist in the team (

Finished Chapter 3, great stuff, Though Chapter 1 remains the best. But definitely an upgrade over Chapter 2.
The ending was really the good stuff, not the cringe unbelievable disaster, which we all know is hallucination, but the tape questioning Maebara. and the Memoriam list, it captured the mysterious charm lost since Chapter 1. Atleast it explained why Keiichi was not acting like Keiichi, he was really just Satoshi in Keiichi's body, not in a supernatural way, as in being possessed, but he was hallucinating the whole time, probably since the moment Rika and Satoko, visited him and made him food, it's like they put him under a spell to be captivated by Satoko. Otherwise it's impossible for him to be the same man from Chapter 1 who was collaborating with Oishi to get Mion and Rena imprisoned. The murder of the uncle was the strangest and the highlight of the chapter, it proved beyond doubt a supernatural element to the story, unfortunately. Why? because in contrast to Chapter 2, he didn't transfer to another dimension, because he was inside the ritual shrine, which didn't trigger the town to gang up on him like Chapter 1 and Chapter 3. Basically the two victims of the curse, are the killer and the victim, but the killer disappears to another world. Which explains why Takano-san would kill Tomtake, she was tr

Uhhhh something something muh HD buy moar graphics to run mature games for mature gamers.
The end of the CRT age might've also played a part, tube funkyness made many prerendered BGs on pre-7th generation systems look downright gorgeous but once HDMI and LCD TVs rolled around in the mid to late 2000s those backgrounds now looked like a blurry pixelated mess, whereas in-engine cutscenes could be arbitrarily scaled to any resolution.

I wonder why they changed the opening stage theme in Rockman X6 to add some guitar riffs specifically for the international releases. Both versions sound great, though.

It's a shame how Konami kept themselves from releasing so many great tracks from SH2 elsewhere, specially the remixes for Theme of Laura and that guitar riff that only played in the trailer for the 2001 E3 booth.
