This combined with wefwef importing Apollo data makes it really easy to find the communities again.

Keeping a native OS UI design language for an app is very nice. Apollo was a great example of this!

I’d love to see Android’s version of the same thing.

This is an interesting watch.

Thanks for sharing!

I used to use sound cards myself ages ago for MIDI and DirectSound acceleration. I didn’t expect the hardware audio codecs to actually make a difference.

Nothing is stopping me from installing a PCIe Sound Blaster with a good old EMU chip. At least I hope so, the EMU10k1 and 20k1 have a hardware DMA bug which breaks them on systems with more than 2GB of memory lol

Not sure if I should go the CMedia route and just use Xonar instead. I do like Creative’s features (especially ALchemy), but those you can gain on any machine using a software suite made by Creative themselves.

Are you serious?

Now you got me wondering why this is the case…

I wonder if it’s just the drivers. Or something else, like the audio device name, or APOs.

Which game in particular did you have in mind?

This always comes to my mind

Unfortunately no. Konami takes a lot of inspiration from Tag Force in all their later games but hadn’t come close to scratching that itch and having the same quality.

There’s Tag Force 6 and Arc-V Special (for which you need the translations respectively, I worked with the translator together to iron out some bugs).

There’s all their Tag Force clones (5Ds Duel Transer on Wii, 5Ds on PS3/360, Legacy of the Duelist) but these are literally just clones in terms of gameplay.

There’s also the games on DS and 3DS that were contemporaries to Tag Force at the time.

And then there’s the mobile games - Duel Links and Cross Duel. Cross Duel was their latest effort which they’re shutting down sadly (so give it a shot while it’s still up, until September, but no worries, I’m working with some people on a custom server for the game anyway)

And lastly - there’s the Rush Duel Battle Royale game on Switch which is the most similar to Tag Force.

I’m a late to the party with PSP but I’m a Yu-Gi-Oh fanatic, and Tag Force are my favorite games in the entire franchise of Yu-Gi-Oh video games. I got a PSP for dirt cheap, but also because I wanted to experience my favorite games in its original quality. But, on another note - Ridge Racer PSP and Tekken are also amazing quality games.
