Do you really have to defend the outposts? I don't recall having to. I remember getting the messages about my outposts being under attack, but I didn't pay any attention to them and went somewhere else, and didn't lose the territory...
I was wrong, Far Cry 3 is a lot easier than Far Cry 4. In Far Cry 4 when you take over an outpost you're constantly fighting to keep it when the other army invades. Far Cry 3 seems like you knock out a base and it's your territory forever. Both games get pretty easy if you just focus on hunting at the beginning though. I'm interested to see Blood Dragon after I finish FC 3, that looks hilarious.

tbh, I had a lot of fun doing the camps as stealth as possible. Might just start it off with a sniper rifle opening the animal cage, then killing any survivors with the knife...
Hmmm, I defended them all, but by that time my character was so strong I don't think I ever failed in doing it.
I love chaining the knife kills, but my favorite is pulling the pin on the 's grenade and then kicking him out of the way. 's fun throwing a rock, stabbing the guy from behind, and then dragging his body behind some buses before anyone gets back.
Good read, tbh

You should get it just for the Kanye diss tbh
LOL boning the Christy Mack lookalike while fighting the ink monster. I thought the ink monster fight was pretty cool. Far Cry 4 has the same kind of stuff where you take hallucinogens and go to crazy ass places like that, but it's much better executed in FC4. It's a land called Shangri-La, and the graphics are really impressive there. I like the storyline in FC3 so far though. Much better leading the Rakyat than going back to Santa Monica with the nagging GF.
Interesting.
I just built one of those RetroPie systems for around $40. There are a few flavors of Mame emulators installed. The version of roms I'm using are 0.375b and there are some audio issues. Since you worked on the Mame project, I was wondering if sound issues would be with the version of the roms? Or, would the issue be with the emulator? Just trying to troubleshoot.
Thanks.
Never heard of RetroPie, but if you're having audio trouble with all the games, then it's probably a hardware issue. The best to find out is just load up Mame on a more powerful PC with the same game and see if it's ok.
Mame checksums the ROMs, so I doubt that's the problem, and while some sound chips might not be emulated 100%, they're really the minority. Is there any specific game you're having trouble with?
I don't have an issue with all the roms -- some are perfect. I was using Donkey Kong to test. All the sounds are there, except for running, climbing ladder, and jumping. I'm starting to wonder if there are other files that are missing.

After some Googling, apparently there are some audio sample files required for some versions of Mame. I'll give that a shot.
Yeah, some games, especially very old, need samples. Should go in the samples directory in Mame (zipped).
You should find what you need here:

Arrggh, that's frustrating. For the longest time MAME wasn't good for playing Shinobi (my favorite arcade game) because it was impossible to find the sound samples for it. But at least it played great on System16. Now it seems to work great on MAME though years later.
Thanks. Works perfectly now.
I'll have to give that one a try. It may not be one of the roms that works on my Rasberry Pi, but I can try it on my pc version of Mame.
Nah man, it hasn't been maintained in years. System 16 was what I used to play Shinobi and only Shinobi around the year 2000 or so. Even then in its prime it was a pretty limited emulator, but it played Shinobi perfectly. Thankfully MAME does it just as well now though.I'll have to give that one a try. It may not be one of the roms that works on my Rasberry Pi, but I can try it on my pc version of Mame.
Or if you mean you'll have to try the game, definitely. It's right up there with the NES version of Ninja Gaiden 1 for my favorite ninja game. I wasn't that big a fan of the arcade Ninja Gaiden though, it was a Double Dragon clone but not nearly as well executed. I love Shinobi's music and the graphics were pretty impressive for a game released in 1987 or so.

System 16 emulation has been complete on Mame for a while now, IIRC... The biggest was to crack the Hitachi FD1094 chips that held the encryption key, so originally Mame only supported the bootlegs, which sometimes were modified.
But a long time ago a way was found to derive the keys. There's a big ass comment from Nicola on how the whole encryption system works at the top of the driver code:

You gots are having a lengthy discussion about the requirements to play 1987's Shinobi?
It has better graphics than Hatred.You gots are having a lengthy discussion about the requirements to play 1987's Shinobi?
