    I'm always quite impressed by mods for games not on PC. A long time ago I used to think games were completely impossible to mod on console or emulators besides more basic stuff like framerate, aspect ratio, translation stuff and *ALL THOSE HACKERS ON THE PS3 VERSION OF TRANSFORMERS ROTF* But it is still a lot harder so I am still always quite impressed.

      Yeah the extend of my knowledge was always just pokemon rom hacks and I figured they were only as advanced as they are cos pokemon is so widely popular and the games a pretty simple in scope

    I love Luigi's Mansion's first game but could sadly never get on with the rest of the series, they changed too much of what made the original so great.
    It is honestly incredible that the game finally has mods coming out because trust me its not been easy.
    I don't know all the details but I can tell you even something as simple as viewing the models was difficult for a couple of years because Luigi's Mansion surprisingly uses a unique file format for things like models that no other gamecube game uses so traditional model viewers for the gamecube would not work.

    • @Kraftium
      @Kraftium  21 день тому +5

      Yeah from what I know of 3 and what I've played of 2 they do seem like pretty different games once you get passed whats seen on face value, luckily I kinda knew that going into 2 and I've been enjoying it for what it isn't instead of being sad about what it isn't (a more faithful sequel I think would be hard to make and sell that didn't feel like a retread, what makes LM1 so special is how unique and experimental it is, a sequel would lose that by virtue of being more of what game before)
      Didn't know that about the file format but it does make sense with it being a launch game an all, alot of those are kinda all over the place before universal go to standards are set in stone

    Hey there! I'm actually working with Lily / Portable Productions on the v2.0 update for Premium Deluxe you mentioned. It's coming along smoothly, and while it doesn't have a set release date yet, you can expect it to release soon-ish™.
    As a small note, the PAL ghosts being in the normal and hidden mansion was always (to my knowledge) just a side-effect of how the US version of LM works. In LMPD v2.0, it'll work how it does in the PAL version (as long as the difficulty is set to PAL in the options menu).
    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on v2.0 if you ever happen to get around to playing it!

    • @Kraftium
      @Kraftium  21 день тому +2

      Oh hey thats awesome, I know I saw a post pop up in the discord about 2.0 while I was mid way through editing this video and my heart sank thinking I was releasing it at the worst possible time
      and yeah that makes sense with the US version, since that version doesn't change things up I imagine its not as easy to tell it to do so since you can't use pre existing logic, personally I liked the harder layout but having the option from the get go sounds good
      Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appricate it! will defo try and check out 2.0 when it drops

    Wow, this is really interesting! I feel so tech unsavy that I never venture into emulation, let alone mods, the only game I've ever emulated is the Mario 64 PC mod that makes it look like the renders in magazines and guides back in the day because that was too good to pass up. This might be the second game/mod I have to try, who knows, maybe this is the start of me getting comfortable with this stuff.

    • @Kraftium
      @Kraftium  21 день тому +2

      Glad you enjoyed it!
      Emulation is really not as scary as people think it is at first, even if you get a few things wrong its usually perfectly playable still (drives me up the wall but many people are fine playing in bad streached widescreen (would of used a widescreen hack for this game too but it made the mirrors look bad and streched, even when done properly)
      Dolphin the emulator for GC and Wii is also pretty easy to use, everything is laid out in a pretty easy to read manner and pretty much every option has a tool tip if you hover over it with your mouse explaining what it does and what the recommended option is
      Once you learn the ins and outs of 1 emulator the rest become super easy to understand, alot of the most popular ones are adopting a fairly universal layout these days too
      I did have a bit of a fumble installing premium deluxe but you can only download it from the discord so the folks in there very easily pointed out my problem and it was literally a 3 second fix

    I didn't even know modding non PC versions of games were possible until I saw those DBZ Tenkaichi 3 mods which is fascinating. I also recall DMC3 style switch was implemented before there was a PC version with mods or a Switch version letting you do it without modding.
    I remember playing Luigi's Mansion 1 almost a decade ago on emulator and not thinking much of the game. However I did play Luigi's Mansion 3 a few years ago and recall liking it minus that super high difficulty spike that was the final boss. I recently bought Luigi's Mansion 2 HD on Switch and I got to wonder when I'll play it. I mainly bought it because Nintendo Switch is the Nintendo 1st Party machine with occasional indie game with no Playstation version and the occasional 3rd party multiplat that I don't really feel like playing on PS.

    In my mind the first Luigi's Mansion game is the only entry of the series, because none of the other games come anywhere close to the original. All I ever wanted from the sequels was more Luigi's Mansion 1, but Nintendo kept changing it while completely not understanding what made the original game so enthralling.
    The change to multiple mansions with far less character and detail was the first sign that they didn't understand. Such a shame. LM is one of my favorite games on the gamecube and its atmosphere is still amazing.
