I hope that you're enjoying the holiday with your family! Merry Christmas~!

Oh, you think so? Well, Xero's administration didn't start until he came here on December 24, 08. You and I each have a Join Date that precedes his (Your Join Date on November 15, 08 precedes his by one month and my Join date of September 20, 08 precedes his by three months). Most of the staff here with a very few rare exceptions, like Stoner who joined on March 05, 08 on "Day one" of this site, Mistress who joined on May 03, 08 and Arukan who joined on March 10, 08, are relatively new peeps (To us). I remember when before Xero and most of the staff came on board, Ai was personally running this entire site himself. So bask in the glory of being one of the few mighty dinosaurs (Many of our fellow dinosaurs have "died out" over time) who still roam the grounds of this site~!

Although RL problems and responsibilities comes first and under normal circumstances alone may account for the recent drop in member activity, IMHO, it was the recent multiple Spam attacks that turned many peeps off from this site. However, it looks like things are starting to pick up most recently as the Spam has died down for now (We're not seeing pages of Spam threads like before, rather, only one or two Spam threads now and then but the mods are dealing with them in good order). Things will pick up - Just give it some time!

I think a few of the mods have been around longer than me. But for the most part some people stopped loging in cause life got in the way.

It's good to know that I'm not the only long time member that's still around here! Happy Ninth Anniversary my friend~!

Hey! In your last post in the "Three Words: Anything Goes" game, you only copied the text from up to the post prior to your last post but did not add three words (Check your last post). Please edit your post and let me know after you're done~!

Welcome back~! It's good to see you here again.

Yeah, It would be nice if the RPCS3 EMU was dependent on the CPU's core speed rather than the CPU's core count like the Dolphin EMU. The Dolphin EMU is optimized for CPUs running at or more than 2.0 GHz with two cores. Having an additional core beyond the two it needs in your CPU won't make Dolphin run any faster -> https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/faq/#wh...u-should-i-use. Both Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix and Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Remix are being sold together as a package for around $45 -> https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Heart...01M32FMUL?th=1.

I agree. The people that made the one "working" PS3 EMU called RPCS3 need to work on it so that every one could use it. If I had the $2,000 require to get a high end computer, I would buy the PS4 and all four PS4 editions of the Kingdom Hearts saga. 1.5, 2.5, 2.8, and 3. I know 1.5 and 2.5 got ported to the PS4, I don't know if it is two seperate games or if it is a collection type deal where you get both disc in one package. And I was wondering what condition the PC "versons" of 1.5 & 2.5 were. And now I have an idea. An will stop looking for it.

Be careful of those so called "PS3 emulators" - I've read that many of them either have viruses, malware or browser hijacking trojans built inside the executable. At the very least bad case scenario, they are vaporware (The application does nothing - It's like a joke or hoax program). AFAIK, there is only one "working" PS3 EMU called RPCS3 -> https://rpcs3.net. It's an "Official" open source project that can run a few PS3 games but is still buggy and requires the latest high end PC hardware to run smoothly - They mentioned that using an Intel 8 core 6900K CPU would help! -> https://rpcs3.net/faq. If you have $1,000 to spend on a Intel 6900K CPU alone -> https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16819117645 then go for it~! They need to tweak that EMU so that the rest of us peeps with older hardware can really use it! Also, out of the 2023 PS3 titles released, only 135 are playable from start to finish, so that gives you an idea of where the EMU currently stands.

It's not fully developed like the PCSX2 EMU is for PS2 games or like the Dolphin EMU is for Wii games but it's still impressive though. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix is on their Compatibility List as unplayable ("Ingame") -> https://rpcs3.net/compatibility?c=k. Still, it's good to keep an eye on that EMU and "Wait and see". I've seen those hacked versions of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 for the PC. I think that it's really a crude, highly customized built-in PS3 EMU that's running the specific game's "ROM" but I never tried it. You can try using using the freeware JDownloader download manger application -> https://board.jdownloader.org/ and see if it helps you.

Yeah, I use Pcsx2. I agree Diablo 2 is time comsuming, But I used a hero editer to buff up my characters. Now I can kill most stuff in one hit and it only takes me twenty to do most quest. I have seen PS3 emulators but none of them work right. And i have seen a couple of people offering a PC verson of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 but I can't ever get said download to work.
