If you're using Neko Project 2 some of this information will apply, but not all of it. Other than that you can pick and choose which of these options are best for you, or apply these if you run into specific issues. NP2 has decent sound emulation, however with the default settings the FM level is low compared to actual hardware. Due to limited processing power at the time of release some games are rendered in a low vertical resolution.
The hardware then makes the game fit the standard screen resolution by skipping every-other line while rendering. This can result in unappealing scanlines that darken the image. The "scanline" issue is common especially with action oriented games.
The Queen of Duellist Gaiden Alpha Luckily we live in the future, and power isn't generally a problem when running bit games. Neko Project has an amazing built-in setting that fills in these "skiplines" for games that use them. A common feature with emulators is the ability to savestate. This is to avoid users accidentally corrupting their game's files when savestating.
Personally I've never had an issue with it, and since the PC library is nicely archived in the Neo Kobe Collection there's really little risk to it. Next time you open your emulator you should notice a 'Stat' tab that allows you to save up to 10 states. Some games require your GDC Clock to be set to 2.
If a game requires this setting it'll sometimes glitch by duplicating the screen into segments or even refuse to boot. Everything should work now as intended. If you think you messed up the settings in your machine options a simple fix is to go back to machine options and hit the 'home' key on your keyboard. This will restore everything to their default values.
You have 4 slots for different images, but typically you'll just be using one at a time. Changing these settings can be done in IDE Options. When given the option, I recommend always using Harddisk Images.
Now that you know the difference between software formats and drive types, loading software should be pretty easy:. This just means we have to boot the software ourselves. There's a lot of cool tools within this HDI, so read over the forum post if you're interested. It can be overwhelming when deciding what games to start out with.
They're sorted by publisher since that's how they're sorted in the Neo Kobe Collection. Clicking on the title of a game will take you to a search result of all the screenshots PC Bot has posted from that game, so you can see if it suits your vibe. If a game really clicks with you I recommend checking out that game's publisher's other games too. If nothing on this list looks cool to you, it might turn out I have really bad taste in PC games. Asenheim has translated and ported over a bunch of PC visual novels to browser.
If all this emulation stuff overwhelms you and you just wanted to jump into some English PC VN's right away, I recommend just going there. Amazing teams like 46 OkuMen are doing great work building English patches for use on actual hardware and emulation. Only a small number of titles have been translated so far, but the list translated games is growing constantly. Setting everything up is a little complicated you need a Google Vision API key and the software is slightly unpolished, but if you've got the time and the passion the results are worth it.
This isn't a bad option for games where menus are consistent and dialog is minimal. Just aim your camera at the screen and try to figure out what Google Translate is trying to tell you. PC games are well known for their gorgeous pixel art, so it makes sense that you might want to skip the gameplay and just look at the art. Unfortunately this is harder than it sounds. PC games use proprietary image extensions exclusive to certain developers, and sometimes even exclusive to specific games.
Because of how niche these file types are, modern support for working with them is relatively non-existent. You do have a few options though, and hopefully one of them works! Susie is an old Japanese image viewer for Windows useful for its plugin support.
