KF4 Analog Patch For Real Console

Hey guys.

I'm currently researching how to implement the pnach patch from this link into the actual game image, into the executable file.

I've already gotten the analog sticks working on the actual console.

My plans include making a menu for adjusting speed, acceleration, and everything else included in the patch in pause mode, with the modded settings saved to the memory card.

And next, I'm planning to patch the HUD/UI shortcuts to use several shortcuts for items during the game, triggered by pressing DPAD.

Here's patcher for SLUS_203.18 executable,
and patcher for writing that executable back into the game ISO.

You have to have latest python and JDK installed in your system. Google it.
You have to open your King's Field 4 USA ISO Image,
extract SLUS_203.18 executable and put it in one directory with ISO.
Put .py scripts along with executable and ISO,
launch patch_kf4_usa_analog.py,
then patch_kf4_iso.py,

If nothing breaks, this will add Move\Strafe to Left Stick, and Camera on Right Stick.

Right now it have bug with stick reading (no deadzone implemented), so it constantly strafes right and turns camera right with very low speed.
Im aware of this and already know how to fix this.

Wait for the next versions of patch.
When my modhack will be ready, i will post xdelta patches for USA, EU, JPN releases.

! ! ! Use this with caution, backup your game ISO ! ! !
Work only with USA version for now.

If you don't trust - don't download.
Before start .py scipt, open it up with text editor and make sure that it not doing anything malicious.
You can use any AI to analyze it.

First time player

This game is for sure a banger. I went in dry, no guides. My favorite character is Cartman. Currently searching for 4th seal (earth) got crescent axe, blood mask, full plate tower shield and just got fireball and the razor things. How am I doing kings?

Playing Kings Field 4 on my 4DS

My 4DS just arrived and the very first game I wanted to play on it was Kings field: The Ancient City. And I did just that. I can’t wait to beat this game again after 2 years. Definitely my favorite game of all time. (PS. Game looks 10x better in person, my camera isn’t the best)

Regarding Shadow Tower (1998)'s Ending

Hi, I have recently completed Shadow Tower and after going online to get a general idea of what people thought occurred during the ending, it seems the consensus is the King overlooking the land is Ruus himself in a flash foward after his supposed wish to become a conqueror himself.

The thing is with that though is that I don't think that is Ruus as moments prior in the same FMV, Ruus' dialogue is delivered via text and his voice is never heard at any other point (Other than when he dies, I guess).

My interpretation of the scene was that the scene of the King is actually King Rude or another previous host to the crown in a flashback while the conversation between Ruus and the voice of the crown continued in the present with the line "Grant any wish?" by Ruus being responded with the line "This crown gave me power to become a conqueror" by the voice as the camera pans from the king to the crown, revealing the crown contains a demon and that is who Ruus is talking with and giving the implication that Ruus will inevitably be manipulated by it.

I was wondering if there was any Japanese text or interviews with developers that shed any light on the ending as I know Agetec attempted to streamline the story in the west for whatever reason?

King's Field (US) Emulation Speed

Using duckstation to emulate.

By default this game runs at 30 fps which, at least coming from the first game in the series, feels like everything is at 2x speed. King's Field (JP) and Shadow Tower both ran at about 20 fps, but lowering this game to 20 causes weird texture flashes and distorted audio.

I imagine the weird sped up 30 fps is how it feels to play on ps2-3 consoles and I'm sure I could get used to it if I must, but it's not exactly what I was going for..

How do you play it? Any solution to the strange audio and textural issues, or do you prefer to just play at 30?

For my own old(er) man self

Because I thought it would be fun and because I thought to myself that someday years from now I'll want to revisit this old game. I decided to comb the archives and put in something a little more permanent for myself and others about Kings Field (JP), particularly those old maps before tumblr disappears or steam removes the walkthrough in their forums.

Please enjoy for yourselves if you are so inclined.

Cheers

Still Missing The Feeling.

I am stuck in this weird space of not having anything to scratch the itch like KF4 does. I like games like Lunacid, but for me that is more like Shadow Tower. Which I finally played both recently, but I can't find anything that quite matches what I feel when playing KF4. I REALLY love the music in KF4 as well. So, I suppose that adds to the ambiance.

I do not see any romhacks of Kf4. Do any of you know of any KF4 Romhacks? Any other suggestions are welcome. I know some new games are coming out o the horizon. I am excited for those.

Thanks!

First look on 1st person combat from Demon's Souls Prototype before the game was nearly canceled by sony and Miyazaki had remade everything into current version of demons souls.
