Cave Story Forum

Great scrolling platformer -- excellent chip music !

Game is hardcoded to a fullscreen resolution of 640x480 ;
for most of us, this will mean you will have to enable
'emulate a virtual desktop' in winecfg.

I will create a c4p recipe for this title for the basic
installation -- please see the tips&tricks section for how
to patch this game with the english translations.

Works 'out of the box' so to speak - instant silver medal
but is likely running at gold level performance all told.

Cheers!

That's what DoConfig.exe is for =D. There is a website (miraigamer) where you can download it pre-patched. Thanks for your rank and input, what were the pluses? There weren't that many (for me).

Hi,

Pluses?....sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to here?

As for the pre-patched versions...a> I didn't know they were there 8) and
b> as a point of etiquette and respect for the original creator, (not to
mention highlighting the efforts of the translators), I really prefer the
concept of letting folks see the original version, and then patching it to
see the translated result....however, that is easily revised/redressed with
the C4P system, so feel free to rework the basic c4p recipe I created to suit
other (supported) translations/locales as you see fit. If you'd rather I did
that c4p editing just let me know - I'm happy to oblige 8)

..yes, the c4p recipe does automatically provide a menu link to doconfig,
but the 'maximum' resolution appears to be 640x480 ...slightly misworded
on my part =)

I'm sorry I wasn't clear; when I said pluses, I was referring to why you rate it as a silver. The maximum resolution issue is strange... I'm not the coder though.

Ohh!...my medal ranking...see here ;

For this app, working first up 'out of the box' with
no apparent issues gets a silver from me, but really
it might be gold (after I test/play it some more 8)

As for the max resolution, many (older) games are like that.
I might check the linux port later and see if it holds true
there as well.

Cheers!
