There is nothing that resets the random encounter countdown except for a random battle occurring. Even saving and reloading the game does not reset it. All battle formation sets share a single countdown. So one way to 'farm' extremely rare battles is to walk around in areas with common battles until...

I don't think it's rude to triple-post and that it's a misguided etiquette, it's much easier to see what's new than editing a previous post (in this case I forgot to check back). Actually, your palette did teach me to use cross-ramp colours, and that's the way I used it. However I feel the benefit i...

Heh, next I should post a photo of my stack of driver CDs. I could probably find 50 of them. However, I generally find them totally useless (even if I wanted Windows drivers, I look for up-to-date ones online). But I guess the point is that something even as seemingly minor as a image of a physical ...

A cunning plan! I haven't seen the ad served up yet.

Same here.

Hmm, odd. If DirectDraw worked but Direct3D didn't, I'd say there's something wrong with your graphics driver. Note that Windows ships with built-in graphics drivers for pretty much everything, but that isn't the same as the official driver from the manufacturer (AMD, nVidia, or Intel); have at look...

MegaZeus has a config file named config.txt. You can edit this to change the renderer. Try using "video_output = software". Another option to try is "video_output = opengl2", though maybe your whole graphics driver is busted, including OpenGL. I suggest you try to figure out why ...

That's your job!

As I said, someone can just repackage them for all platforms, it doesn't have to be the person who made the game. Just need permission to host modified downloads. Repackaging is nearly as simple as opening the game in Custom and using the Distribute Game menu. There might be other files in the origi...

Actually it would be nice to just pull out a large chunk of graphics code from a project like MAME that supports ten different filters like TV scan lines and pretty much everything on that Wikipedia page. No idea how much work it would be.

Could you provide the error message that dxdiag gives you? In dxdiag when you click on the Display tab you will see buttons to test DirectDraw and Direct3D. Do they work when you test them? Or anything interesting in the 'Notes' section (or on the Drivers tab)? It sounds like DirectX is broken on yo...

What options are you suggesting? More of filters presented on that Wikipedia page?

Don't know what you mean; Autumn is a great time for making jam

Two new OHRircs!

#SS being overtaken by DnD discussion has been true all year.

I was intending to add support for that Scale2X-like filtering in gfx_directx. No plans to add bilinear filtering to the other backends. When that happens I would add an actual option in Custom to turn it on. In the meantime as a workaround you can place a file called ohrrpgce-arguments.txt in the s...

Your generosity is bounded only by the limits set by the contest rules! Actually, the rules are a little ambiguous on number of backdrops. It says "...each participant is restricted to no more than: One tileset, with at least one matching battle backdrop. (Use as few or as many of the tiles as ...
