Title: Street Fighter Alpha 3

FBA-XXX emulates the arcade version and is currently the best way to play SFA3 on the Xbox.

Kawa-X also emulates the CPS-2 (Capcom) arcade hardware very well

playing a 2D fighting game on PSX..... simply ridiculous laugh.gif

That's a pretty moronic thing to say considering that the PSX version of SFA3 is far superior to the arcade original and bettered only by the Dreamcast version.

And how exactly is playing a 2D fighting games on a PSX any more ridiculous than playing it on an Xbox?  dry.gif

The PSX version doesn't have a true Dramatic Battle mode and it has missing frames, plus loading times, all of which aren't issues in the arcade version, which is my favourite.

Also, I didn't know they released it on Saturn, I thought they gave up on Saturn way before Alpha 3.

Oh the good old days, when I had Marvel Super Heroes and SFA2 on my lowly Saturn.

Now I just have FBA  biggrin.gif

Wow, glad to see I wasn't the only one who loved SFA 3 (although it looks like Manto really, really loved it).

So Manto, how do you play SFA 3 these days?  Or does nothing approach the arcade experience?  I basically take it for granted that a console port of these fighting games is going to be the same as the arcade version.  I've been looking at Shoryuken.com and Evo2k.com lately so suddenly I've kind of got an itch to become the unstoppable fighting gamer I know I could have been if I hadn't lost focus with distractions (like school).  Sadly, I no longer own a Playstation, but it looks like that version sucked anyway.  But I do have a Dreamcast (but I think I'd hate to use that controller for a fighting game).  I need to get one of those arcade sticks.

I'm glad they're releasing Street Fighter Collection for the Xbox soon, but it only has Street Fighter II Hyper Anniversary Edition  and Street Fighter III: Third Strike, which kind of saddens me considering they could have tossed on Street Fighter Alpha 1-3, ALL the various Street Fighter II variations, Street Fighter the Movie just cause it's terrible and Street Fighter EX 1-3 cause I've never played it.

But man, I needs me some Street Fighter Alpha 3 lovin.

Returning an insult with the "subtle", "I *would* return it but..." method is, arguably, even more pathetic.

Let's keep it real people.

MAMEoXv84b3 is my new SFA3 emulator of choice.

FBA-XXX seems a *tad* slower than KAWA-X (see the Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition title screen for a comparison)

KAWA-X was great, but when I had people over playing on my arcade, the L, R, and Black buttons were hit occasionally during the heat of battle.  Not cool  sad.gif

MAMEoXv84b3 runs SFA3 the best, when sound is set to 22,000Khz, frameskipping off, frame throttling off, and graphic filters set to none and linear.

SFA3 is the game of my arcade whenever I have a group of friends over.

I played the game to death on the PSX, myself. I didn't wanna shell out the cash for the Saturn version, and the DC controller is just awful for fighters. I simply got too used to the SNES/PSX style controller for Street Fighter. So sue me.
I generally have been using FBA-XXX to play it, although I miss the larger character roster. I love being able to go through the entire character list and beat my friends no matter whom I choose.

To get Vampire Hunter 2 working you have to get the file called vhunt2.zip, this is the parent ROM which is encrypted and doesn't work, then get vhunt2r1.zip and use that (you still need the parent file), and it works fine.

Dunno how I should take that.

Anyway, do you know where to get a FAQ for Vampire Hunter 2? I specifically want a FAQ or info for that game, and yes, I've tried GameFAQs and I've got FAQs for the other games, but I think Hunter 2 is my favourite.

I s'pose I could always dust of my Dreamcast and play Vampire Chronicle (note to capcom: you were asking to get that game pirated.), but that's no fun, I have a wireless Xbox controller, not Dreamcast, GRR!

I'm angry cuz I made my first step file for StepManiaX today and after finishing and testing it, it got corrupted and I have no way of getting it back.

LA!

I'm ranting, I want some levitating pizza. I'll stop off at Samo's tomorrow and ask if they do them, maybe helium in the stuffed crust?

Nope.

The only extra characters in the PSX version are Juli and Juni (although I don't know if they're secret in the arcade) and Guile and maybe Evil Ryu.

PSX also put in a few SF2 characters that weren't in the arcade, I thought. I think Dee Jay, maybe T Hawk as well?

yes cainedna, thats what made that version so great other then the fact it was the best capcom port to ps1. dc version is the same but better in frames and some modes work as thier suppose to like dramatic mode.

i'm not too familier with saturn cuz again it was import only but i would guess it had a proper dramatic mode since it can hande capcom 2d games well

who cares about dramatic battle mode?!?!?!

You can play with GUILE!!!!! (messing up the messed up story of SF)
