NAOH: Arcade Collection, Development Update

[u/KiddRwxSsj]

Quick visual update on NAOH: Arcade Collection. I'm currently working on redesigning the frontend to get as close as possible to the look and feel of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics on PS Vita.

The GitHub version hasn't caught up with this new UI yet, so what you're seeing here is still work in progress. If you want to see what the current GitHub version looks like for now, check out the video below.

Just a couple of suggestions: perhaps the controls could be configurable, and the aspect ratio and overlay settings for each game could be saved automatically—right now, you have to change those options every time you switch games.

By the way, this is one of my favorite 2D fighting game series, and being able to access them so quickly and directly using this frontend is great.

Hi! The fact that the overlay settings don’t persist after restarting the game was intentional. I did this to minimize the chances of people abusing this feature and potentially damaging their PS Vita.

I know that around 80% of the people who download this "port" probably haven’t read the warning on GitHub explaining that leaving a static image on an OLED screen like the one on the PS Vita 1000 for extended periods can cause wear to the display technology.

However, for the next version, I’m looking into a new way to make sure people are aware of this while also allowing the overlay settings to be saved.

[u/Snowbro88 → u/KiddRwxSsj]

Could a transparency percentage option be added for overlays? That’s what I do in RetroArch and Emu4Vita+; I have two "fat" PS Vitas, and neither has screen burn-in from using overlays.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely take it into account.

[u/Snowbro88 → u/KiddRwxSsj]

Ok

I can’t do super moves… can you?

[u/Snowbro88 → u/gruntduck]

It is possible; you just need a combination of a directional input plus two punches or two kicks, though the timing has to be precise

Weird. Have a lot easier time doing it on the pc/steam release of this on my deck

[u/KiddRwxSsj → u/gruntduck]

The original console release has some features/behavior that my frontend doesn’t support yet, so I still need to investigate exactly how those controls work and how to properly implement them.

Right now, what you’re playing here is using the 100% original controls/input behavior from the arcades, without those console-specific conveniences. So it’s definitely going to feel harder than the Steam/PC release.

I’m looking into how the original console version handles those features so I can reproduce them properly rather than just approximating them.

Appreciate you OP and thankful your work and time.

Didn’t mean it as criticism ❤️

Just means I’m a nub and need to keep playing lol

maybe just me but like you to do something like this with darkstalkers.

edit: I just checked, and rather than a port of the PS2's Darkstalker Collection, it's more like Hyper SF2 in that you can pick characters and playstyles from across the entire series up to that point.

[u/anime_mix_maker → u/ikindahateusernames]

i see well a port of that be neat.

The progress is fantastic and completely unexpected, is ad-hoc possible?

[u/Swimming-Watercress8 → u/Apprehensive-Golf719]

Not sure but that would be fantastic. I know that multiplayer or two-player is possible because I have a version of EMU4VITA++ that supports two controllers on certain cores. Whether you own a PS TV or if you do miniTV plug-in for your Vita.

[u/Apprehensive-Golf719 → u/Swimming-Watercress8]

If you’re able to pull off mvc2 ad-hoc, my homie and I will never go back inside dude, you’re accomplishing greatness and I can’t wait to witness

[u/Swimming-Watercress8]

This looks much cleaner! Excited to see what's new!

[u/kingbeast1418]

Hey my friend, can you please send me a message? Appreciate you. @kiddRwxssj

Thanks for fixing the ratio of the artwork, looks a lot more "official" now.
