Final Fantasy Hacktics

Quote from: 7anjabil on October 29, 2022, 11:51:07 amCan I just say I searched this forum a lot before deciding to post this. This has been the most helpful post by far, but just to say for the benefit of others who want to get this mod working on their Vita, the XML Elric is talking about is TLWotL  Serial.xml in the resources folder: 6. TLWotL ASM (Patch Last)\ASM (FFTP .495 B1)\XmlPatches\PSX

In the end, I wasn't able to understand how to build my own PPF with this XML excluded - and I'm a pretty technical guy - and got it working by patching the ISO, then converting to .CHD with CHDMAN (this version has the ISO to CHD script, just place ISO in the folder and run the batch file) and running in RetroArch.

If there's a more baby-steps guide to building a PPF from the resources (not the main post with the resources zip file, tried that), please point me to it.

Although even if I can't run this in Adrenaline, it's probably better in RetroArch as you have native fast-forward controls (if you like that sort of thing), and can extend the display to cover the whole Vita screen - and it looks fantastic:



+ more

I guess you also avoid any potential POPSLoader issues. FYI, Vita uses a custom POPSLoader for technical reasons.

Elric thanks for all the work with this mod, which seems to have everything. Looking forward to finally playing FFT again after 20 years. Get yourself a Vita, you won't regret it!

Glad you got it sorted. To build without it you'd just use the resources from the resources thread and on the last step when patching the ASMs, youd just not tick the box for that specific ASM hack.

Still surprising that it's been over 10 years since this whole thing started.  Here's to the next 10!

Me too lol

Quote from: Zolias on October 26, 2022, 04:51:55 amIs that.... Claire Redfield?

Is this going to become Journey of the Five, and an optional Sixth?

1. It's Jill Valentine
2. Jot5 will have many optional characters, she is one of them.

Works fine on duckstation. Its your setup

Quote from: ParryPupPup on October 22, 2022, 04:29:21 pmThat's odd. I just checked the folder and the ASMs, nothing had any problems.

Be that as it may. Base TLW works perfect on PSIO. Its not related to TLW. And if you added any new ASMs there is a 99.9% chance it conflicts with the DK hack.

Quote from: Gregory on October 23, 2022, 01:53:22 pmFreezes on the black screen after the scene of Delita killing Chancelor Glevanne. Tried it a few times and same issue occurs.

Nope.avi. Thats your emulator.

Given that this doesnt actually work, and should prolly be removed outright. No

Some more pictures. Since the dot for Murond Death City is unused, Ive moved it using Xifanies worldmap editor, as well as the line from Goug to Murond Holy Place, as its not an essential path.

This wont be implimented. The names is a limitation of the bench hack and not related to TLW

The full event this time

Thank you

Quote from: vicosku on October 17, 2022, 10:52:23 amHas anyone tried this on real hardware? I can get it to run in Duckstation, but not a PSIO-modded Playstation or the latest build of the PSX core on MiSTerFPGA for the past few months. The latest Lion War hack runs fine on these platforms for me, but not this one. It works fine up until the "Orbonne Monastery" text after the opening movie and before the first scene starts. (Note that this is also where the vanilla FFT release crashed on MisterFPGA until fairly recently, but it works now)

I've been dreaming of a new translation like the one described here ever since War of Lions was released on the PSP. I appreciate any help anyone can provide.  Note that I'm using PPF-O-Matic 3 and a clean bin/cue. Thanks!

Puppy likely added stuff with load delay or improperly configured ASMs. If they did not check for conflicts in the ASMs that would be the reason. TLW was made to work on consoles, so whatever the issue is, would be solely on this mod

Quote from: Holy2Tack on October 17, 2022, 10:22:56 amThat event is awesome. I think it would be funny if Rad picked the gil back up before offering to buy him a drink. Seems like something he would do. Buy Ramza a drink with Ramza's money.

Yeah that was the plan, we talked about it on discord a bit lol

Another new event

Quote from: painless966 on October 15, 2022, 12:46:04 pmso i need to change my main character name right? the main character i gave him in the game is app. so is this too short? but thank you

yes, needs to be at least 5 characters with the current build.

Thanks man!

Since a lot of headway has been made lately, we decided to livestream (on discord) the creation of one of the new events for Ch2 of Jot5, which introduces a new optional joining character.

Quote from: wonderwyce on October 08, 2022, 02:36:57 pmCould you make historical battles more difficult? that the enemies' level is equal to or greater than Ranza's

What about this being a vanilla extension patch/base patch eludes you? All the gameplay here is vanilla sans Ashley Riot. It's not my job to create the patch for you. Either play it as is, or mod it yourself. That is what this mod is quite literally for...

Another new event video for Recruits. This is event 4 post Zeakden

Quote from: SilverRegret on October 08, 2022, 11:34:10 amIf i may, i have some ideas for izlude joining, yes he might be bloody and seems dead when ramza found him but wait, even zodiac stone can revive dead malak... And izlude is bearer of zodiac stone. Then he can join as revived character. On miluda battle, if player choose to bring him to battle maybe miluda can have angry comment like heretic ramza desecrate the dead by raise & manipulate izlude or something. That would not make the story deviate too much i think. Like tactic ogre, i do believe some character deserve a second chance, a different fate, as they not inherently evil...

All the characters have been decided already. Also I'm pretty sure you meant Meliadoul, Miluda is Weigraf's dead sister.

There issue wasn't the ability to do it technically, it was doing it in a way that makes sense, especially makes sense to me, if i don't agree with it and don't enjoy making it, then I won't make it, so I'd rather keep things as they are already. You can see the full character wheel a few posts above.
