@sheshin

Happy to help. One thing I will note is that I don't know how up-to-date that ip block list for Epic is. If you find a more recent list please let me know. Otherwise it should work.

came here to say thank you man, your workaround for EOS blocked games worked on my favorite game and i can keep playing it

Hey, the DMCA worked and I'm glad of it, but my games on itch aren't that great to ask money for, tbh. The only one you can find on Steam is called "Arid". Still, thanks for showing interest and for the support!

thanks for reaching out! just tested Monsterland on Steamdeck and now it works perfectly! thanks

Hi, I love single-player, rpg, & arcade games, recently I'm into retro & older games too even try using retroarch. You have huge games collection on that particular games I love, may I have be your friend? I wonder what kind of games I missed or even I didn't know about.
oh btw I already follow you on steam

Thanks toxicradians, that's a very nice thing to say. It's also very generous to offer a gift card, but I didn't do much to earn that so I wouldn't feel comfortable accepting it. However, I'd like to have you on my friends list anyway just because I like to have fans of older PC games close by, if that's alright with you.

Unfortunately I've tried adding you as a friend on Steam but Steam is giving me an error message for some reason. Could you add me from your side?

Hey - so basically I have been playing old DOS games to remind me of my childhood. I used to play on an old banged up PC from oldentimes but since moving countries, I have been playing on newer PCs. I have spent years. YEARS. Trying to get the sound on Hocus Pocus to be what I remember. And it has infuriated me when people say 'oh I remember it always being this way' and 'oh does it really matter'. I came across your post from 2018 and you have made my year. The sounds are perfect. You are a miracle worker. I wanted to send you a £15 steam gift card to show my appreciation for you taking the time and effort to make that post but Steam doesn't allow this for people who aren't friends. If you are cool with this, add me, I will send the gift and then feel free to unfriend me. You made my f*ing year and judging by your other posts, you are a legend going around and helping people.

@ThreeSon Alrighty, thanks a lot! I know that the Piko games generally have their ROMs available, but since this one only listed Piko as a developer and not publisher I wasn't sure. It's annoying for the average person buying an interesting game just to have it run poorly by default, but I appreciate the fact that they leave the ROM available to people to use on other emulators if they wish to.

@coolieandpoe

I'll leave the reply here in hopes you will see it. Both Iridion and Iridion 2 are emulated, poorly, on Steam. They are both using the Mednafen emulator. And the ROM files do appear to be accessible in each game's Steam directory. I successfully loaded them into RetroArch with the mGBA core.

Seeing that you own Iridion 3D on Steam, I have two questions regarding the game, if you can answer them. Is the game an emulation or a port, and if it's an emulation, is the .gba ROM of the game accessible within the game's Steam files? I'm compiling a list of Steam games that are emulated and I can't seem to find a definitive answer regarding the Iridion games.

@Nirogue

If you get this message before accepting my friend request... 99% chance the problem you're having is because the inputdevice_66069.map file that you downloaded from Google Drive is not in the right folder. It needs to be in the userdata folder, not the main Midnight Club 2 folder.

If you're still having trouble I can help you with it tomorrow but I'm going to sleep a few minutes after I write this.

Hello, I came from a thread you made on your custom controller configurations on Midnight Club 2, and was wondering if you could help me with this strange issue.

I did everything as you said (I'm using Option 1, for Auto and Manual Transmission), but when I enter the game to check if the controls are correct, the controls aren't the same. No R2 or L2 working, no Options button to Pause working either, etc.

I wanted to know what I have to do in order to get it exactly as your setup. Thanks!

Thanks for leaving the information regarding the steam controller under my review of Tobe's vertical adventure.

hellloooo, i was reading your guide on correcting the graphical/FPS issues in zanzarah. i was wondering if you might want to assist me with a few things, or answer some questions for me. :D

Just wanted to thank you for the heads up about the Deathsmiles patch you kind person

Friendly, honest, and very trustworthy trader. Went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied with the trade. Would not hesitate to trade with again. +++Rep

Dude, was reading the comments on La-Mualana's Greenlight page and saw your avatar. Pretty cool! I remember the sprite from the NES game The Legend of Sheharazade. Pretty awesome game. Good taste!
