Recently I've emulated Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 1-3 (3 was broken as a kid), Ape Escape 1-3 (Never beat 3 as a kid, never had the other two), SMT:Digital Devil Saga 1 &2, Demon's Souls, Catherine Full Body (fuck giving this new fag story money, but the new gameplay is worth my time), and Final Fantasy X International (Never played International, and I have to say the endgame sucks balls.) Right now I'm emulating the Super Mario Eclipse hack, after some minor memory card troubleshooting which is now a verboten topic on /v/ and /vb/. I had written much more about all these games, but most of the more recent posts are gone now and I'm not rewriting them, so this short summary will do. I'm going to take a break from emulating to play two other games after Eclipse, but after that I plan on playing Kirby Super Star Ultra. I beat the original game many times over, and still have fond memories of when my sibling managed to get a time of exactly 0 on the quick draw by some miracle. I took a picture of the TV with my DSiXL. I wonder if I can find it? But I digress. It wasn't until the past year or so that I discovered Ultra existed, but my toaster didn't handle DS games very well last I had tried, but but again, I now have a better computer.

I've gotten everything from the original game except for the return trip shine and blue coin in Delfino Air Strip. Apparently, you have to do some portion of the new areas to unlock the final level now, and you can't go back to the airport until you do.

>>4 Oh, and the blue coins in the final level.

Completed the Lighthouse level today. It was pretty small, but solid. Unlocked Il Piantissimo as a playable character. It's interesting having a different moveset, but he can't use the FLUDD, only throw water balloons, which can make many levels a pain.

Finished Erto Rock. These new levels all feel fairly average. Not bad, not amazing. Some of the shines are way too easy though, and show up for things you'd think would get you a blue coin.

Beat Delfino Island and the new Bowser fight. Apparently, there's a post game where you collect power stars at "N64 Peach's Castle", but the first painting so far is just a rehash of Delfino Plaza. Once you beat Bowser the first time, you unlock Luigi, which seems to be a pure upgrade over Mario. All his jumps are higher and he's not slippery like Luigi often is. I think he even increases Yoshi's jump height. It feels like cheating when you play him. I will note some incompleteness is clear as well when you play Luigi. Half of the grunts are still Mario's, lots of dialogue will still call you Mario, and you still turn into Mario color bubbles when entering any of the first three areas. The new levels around Delfino were alright, but I think the smaller levels on the cruise ship you unlock after the first Bowser fight are much better. Far fewer of those shines feel like blue coin tier challenges at least.

Finished everything in Eclipse. The post game is just beta levels and few levels from other videogames all sprinkled through Peach's castle. There's nothing tracking how many power stars you have, and every time you finish a level, you're punted back to the castle foyer, which is a pain in the ass when going through the basement and upper floors. The very last level at the very top also seems to lag for me. Overall Eclipse was alright. I've been considering playing Luigi's mansion hacks, but apparently the community surround any of the more in depth hacks had some faggotry going and they were all scrubbed from the net. The only serious one I could find was Luigi's Mansion Sweet Home, which won second place in a contest. No info about first place or any other entries in said contest.
