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.

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.

You don’t have to even use Windows. Even Ubuntu will do sometimes lol

True. Ubuntu was certainly matched and even surpassed in these areas. But you’ll always have people who are like “just switch to this XY distro they don’t have that problem” who are just as loud lol

Same here, experience got worse after upgrading the monitor.

I went from a somewhat matched pair of 1080p 75Hz monitors, one of which was ultrawide (2560 width) to upgrading my ultrawide to a 3440x1440 160hz panel.

That upgraded panel suffered every step of the way in Linux.

I absolutely cannot get 160Hz consistently if I have both monitors running. On KDE X11, compositor drops the rate to 75FPS to even things out (except the mouse lol). On KDE Wayland it works properly in this regard, but we all know how Wayland is on NVIDIA right now.

GNOME is a similar story as KDE Wayland, with an added bonus of stuttering.

I’m not losing hope, though. It’s gonna catch up to AMD but man does it stink to use lol

The only other reason I really have to use X11 is because the hardware video decoding in the browser doesn’t work in Wayland with NVIDIA. Most of the apps are actually becoming more and more stable.

This always comes to my mind

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 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.

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