DotEmu? Is CodeMystics too expensive nowadays?

Tell me about it. Code Mystics, Iron Galaxy, M2...anybody with a proven track record but DotEmu.

I'm happy that I'll get to see more windjammers content from GB. Looking forward to hear what Dave Lang thinks on GB's next e3 stream.

I don't watch any of Giant Bomb's content so I didn't expect this to be as "popular" as it is. Me and a few mates played this for hours a couple of years back as part of a gaming night after a few drinks and had an absolute blast. Had to stop due to crying with laughter after a while. Wasn't sure if it was intentionally funny or if we had just drunk too much but I've got fond memories of that game. We'll have to revisit it with this version next year.

Just when I thought about getting rid of my Vita... Damn you, Sony.
It will likely come to PC. Most of the other Dotemu ports have come to PC.

Now this is a nice suprise.
Lots of hate for dotEmu itt. Is it because of the Neogeo Humble Bundle?
I played some of their other ports and always found them alright.
There was a big FB post by the (surprisingly very active) Windjammers French community, about how supposedly they were involved in the effort, dotEmu being big fans themselves and everyone involved doing the absolute maximum to work this out in the best possible conditions.
Hope it turns out good!

Aaaaand it won't recognize the fact I shared the video on FB.
What's the problem with the port being handled by dotEmu? Don't know much about them.
Can confirm. I used to be a member of pretty much the biggest Windjammers community out there before I just stopped hanging out out of boredom, and it's a French community. They play the game religiously on Fightcade, and they lobbied heavily for it to be represented at Stunfest, France's biggest fighting game tournament... And they actually did it lol.
I remember reading the reviews in French magazines back in the day. To this day I still remember the game being rated in the 70% (I wanna say 73 or 76% in Banzzaï), yet for some reason it fascinated me. When I finally got to play it on MAME 20 years later.... Man, what a revelation. Truly an arcade classic.

Man, psx was so hype. This actually has me more excited than MvC Infinite.
That's no surprise, though. I'm a huge outspoken fan of this game.

This thread needs to be bumped
Any way to get this in UK? I get a error...
No. This is only for US, unfortunately

I had no doubt a stock PS4 could do this as well.
Probably just a differentiator for the Pro policy.

Ah, sorry. I didn't realize it was US only when I posted this.

Did you guys not play Super Star Wars?
Don't put Code Mystics on some sort of pedestal. They fuck shit up too.

Apparently DotEmu ported a bunch of Final Fantasy games to Windows recently (like Final Fantasy III and IV). How are these ports? What's DotEmu's trackrecord?

They're barebones android emulation.

Put me in the camp of "huh, dotemu?"
I thought Code Mystics had it in the bag for handling SNK ports on PlayStatiom consoles. Wonder why they didn't get this one.
They still did Garou right? And are handling Banner Saga. Maybe theyve just moved on to another fighting game like Samurai Shodown V Special or something.
Still, have no experience with dotemu so I'll give them a chance.

Technically, while it is a Neo Geo game, it's not owned by SNK. Code Mystics has been handling the recent first party Neo Geo ports, so I guess they wouldn't have a deal in place with whoever holds Windjammers' rights.

This is definitely one of those white whale games for me.
I am excited to finally experience the joy that Jeff and company at Giant Bomb seem to have when playing this game. The idea of it "feeling so, so good" has been something I've thought a lot about.

I never visit GB but if they had anything to do with this, then thank you.
I played the shit out of Windjammers in the arcades as a kid. This is a really compelling reason to get another PS4 for me.

S miller shown in the trailer. Hoping for a setting to allow B. Yoo, always preferred him.
Yesss!
Windjammers is one of the reasons I have an MVS board (an Omega) hooked up (Garou was another reason, unsurprisingly).
I just need RBFFS now and if they'd just go ahead and port KOF98UM and KOF2002UM, that'd be pretty swell. Maybe something like Neo Turf Masters would be nice as well?

Same, spent like $700 this year to play this game.
Looks like they're shooting for Q1 release date. https://twitter.com/DotEmu/status/805558928981389312

I love Windjammers. Used to play it all the time in the arcade. I didn't realize there was a lot of love for the game in certain gaming communities such as giantbomb. I always thought it was overlooked as there was never much discussion about it when talking about SNK games. Can't wait to play it on PS4. G Scott is my guy.
