So I got a hold of PC-98 Policenauts and I'm trying to get it to work in Neko Project II fmgen (since it seems to work with it well) and, well...I can't get it to load past this screen:
It's supposed to show CD-ROM driver stuff after that, but for some reason it just hangs and never loads the game. I know NPII fmgen has CD support right out of the box but I'm stumped as to how to get it to work right. Any ideas?
Kojima games owned: Let's see, I have Boktai 1, Boktai 2, played Boktai 3 translated on an emulator, Lunar Knights, played Snatcher on an emulator, actually fricken' bought the Project Melancholia SD Snatcher translation, and am quite familiar with Metal Gear through Let's Plays.
When tumblr user Frolic-Chronis sent me a link to the PC-98 version they also told me this--
"You’ll need to either use Anex or Next as it makes use of a CD image and I dunno if any of the other PC-98 emulators have support for CD images. It includes the proper plugins and such for the mentioned emulators if you don’t have’em already."
It works fine in np2, just a pain to set up. I don't know what image you have, but in theory you need to run the game installer, create a bootable floppy, locate the appropriate drivers..
