Looks cool! And there is a 3DS port, I wonder if it'll work on my DSi though. Good if it would, this thing has been collecting dust for years, would be great if I could use it for something again! 🤩

nononono dont do that version it is NOTHING like the original
there was a ds(i?) port however and thats much better

@m0xee @theorytoe @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @bleedingphoenix yeah the 3DS version was reportedly horrible. Cave Story + is good and is nearly identical to the original version. The only difference is the HD graphics. Also CS+ has wind fortress and boss rush.

@RustyCrab @theorytoe @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee what's the difference between this and Cave Story+ on Steam?

@bleedingphoenix @RustyCrab @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee
the one on steam is cavestory+
different engine i believe plus a couple of extra goodies in it

@theorytoe @bleedingphoenix @RustyCrab @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee iirc cavestory+ is the same engine but the assets are different, re-made sprites and i think music.

@EdBoatConnoisseur @theorytoe @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee @bleedingphoenix I remember there being some incredibly minute differences that only really effect speed runner hacks and I believe that's literally just from running at 60 hz instead of 50. Otherwise I think it's identical.

Also some of the new tracks are genuine improvements IMO

@bleedingphoenix @theorytoe @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee + has HD art and some extra modes (boss rush and wind fortress). I think + might have difficulties? I don't remember

@RustyCrab @theorytoe @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee @bleedingphoenix og cave story was free and still is and is perfectly playable. Nicalis is a group of shyster weirdoes who somehow got the rights to sell it and did so a half dozen times.

Cave Story+ is playable but all it adds is one cut level you play from the main menu and a time attack which is just the hell level again from the main menu. An added difficulty (that is a bad joke. Forced 3hp forever.) too

@DrRyanSkelton @RustyCrab @theorytoe @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee @bleedingphoenix It barely adds content, tho iirc someone ripped the sprites and slapped them back to a modified/recompiled og cave story.

@EdBoatConnoisseur @theorytoe @RustyCrab @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee @bleedingphoenix I do not know what to make of Nicalis. Trannies hate them but they seem actually shyster and autistic but they made the best puzzle fighter clone in decades but it has Cave Story and Binding of Isaac chars for some reason

@DrRyanSkelton @theorytoe @RustyCrab @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee @bleedingphoenix Hmmm i wonder if there’s some tutorial to rip sprites from wiiware games and what format does nxengine-evo require the graphics to be in, cuz then i could just rip and pack them just cuz i can.

@RustyCrab @TarnishedYarmulke @wgiwf @m0xee @bleedingphoenix
also there nxengine-evo
for le freetards

@RustyCrab
Neither original ROM from archive.org, nor this port
https://github.com/tilderain/CaveStoryNDS
seem to work on my DSi — they both load, but then there's white screen and it halts😩
Maybe firmware in it is too old, but I don't want to update it as I'm not sure my cart will still work — some were banned in updated.
Have to investigate, I hope I'll be able to find ROM that works.
