I actually didn't even know about the MSU-1 mods, and never heard about their support in bsnes. Glad I checked the comments!

@@shrgnatlas MSU-1 stuff goes way beyond modding too. Like there are whole FMV games ported to snes that utilize it. I’d recommend checking out Road Avenger/Road Blaster :)

I adore the DS version. I love the retranslation, I like the extra content for what it does filling in certain gaps in the story like HOW that tiny little town of Porre managed to overthrow the kingdom of Guardia, and I don't even mind the subtle changes to the OST. What brings me out of the experience though are the sound effects. There are far too many instances where various sound effects are just way off from their original. I would still rank the DS version as the best version of the game, but that's one difference worth noting. Oh, and I believe there's one more issue with the PS1 version. A lot of sprite variety disappeared in that version of the game, possibly to help handle RAM limitations, but what it means is instead of the guards in Guardia's prison often having unique color palettes, they all share the same palette.

The android version seems fine so far. Quick load times. No built in guude though

There's some inaccurate information in this video, and it's missing a lot that could be said about different versions, some of which I've compiled here: - There are lots of grammar and spelling errors in the DS translation of CT - I've listed a bunch before when discussing this topic. The DS translation in general is a big step-down from the SNES translation, losing lots of character and heart. The DS translation sounds very dry and flatlined and compared to the SNES version, and reads like there are no individual personalities and that it's all one sterile personality delivering all the lines. - Combat speed is adjustable in the SNES version (probably in the DS version, too), in the game menu. You don't mention this when initially saying the DS version has a faster battle speed. - There are no new details to sprites and backgrounds in the DS version, and colours, lighting, and shading weren't added in the DS version. The DS version simply has a grotesque yellow filter placed over everything (which I've been told was done due to something about the DS' screen, I forget what), and the player sprites on the overworld map are different (not better, though). None of the individual details you mentioned reflect things that are actually done in the DS version. The yellow colour filter bias hasn't been removed in any of the post-DS versions of the game, and it looks entirely awful. - The mini-map in the NDS version isn't convenient, as CT's environments are pretty simple and aren't confusing. It's just a cheat-sheet that, IMO, shouldn't be there. - The music in the NDS version is lower fidelity, and it also intermittently fades-out and starts over again, which the SNES version doesn't do. - The Steam version of CT has bugs, slowdowns, and choppiness. It also has crashes, and for some people it won't even launch. - There can be an issue in the Steam version with a line of pixels appearing above the text popup box, extending across the entire screen. - The Steam version now inexplicably has added exclamation-mark bubbles over NPC heads whenever the player next to them. It looks terrible and serves no purpose, since every NPC you can stand next to can be engaged with. - The mini games were made easier in the mobile version, to cater to touch controls. I think the Steam version hasn't reset them to their original difficulty, and so are too easy when playing with a keyboard or gamepad. - There is no decent visual filter in the Steam version. The smooth filter is ugly and mis-aligns textures, while the no-filter, pixelated version doesn't look like the original game and is also not very good looking. - The Steam version's font is eye-bleedingly bad, and barely legible on a large screen. It's the font that was used in the DS version, which it was changed to after people complained about the mobile version font that was used. But the DS version's font was specifically used in the DS version because of the DS version's small screen. It's a hideous font on larger screens. The original SNES font is far more nice-looking and readable. - The Steam version's battle UI is atrocious. - The Steam version doesn't let characters be named using a gamepad, so someone playing with a gamepad needs to put down their gamepad and go to a keyboard whenever they get a new party member. - The one good thing the Steam version does is add additional background tiles in some locations, to fill-out the edges of the environment, to fill a 16:9 widescreen resolution. Other than that, the Steam version of CT is a complete disaster, even after the latest patch.

yep yep

Legit bought a used DSi Xl just to play Chrono Trigger again

Yes this is the best way to play it. I have a ps5, a gaming pc, switch and I still return to my Dsi xl. Absolutely brilliant handheld. You can't beat dual screens

@@craigsouthern4793 DS is the best. My favorite way to play the Dragon Quest titles, too. Just finished my collection of 4-9 on DS. More people need to try those games!

We really needed a 3DS port of it.

Ds versions soundtrack sucks though

The DS Sound Quality is relatively poor compared to SNES/PS1. I own both DS and SNES versions, and will hold onto my SNES copy for dear life.

Yeah I remember in like 2004 or 2005 in high school using an old snes rom dumper using floppy disks I pulled chrome trigger off my cart I bought in a store for $40 back then (just the cart too) and played it all the way through, tho I got so mad I missed Magus by saying no to him then saving on accident not realizing that was a permanent choice.. I restarted the entire game and never finished it.

The DS has lower audio quality. The definitive way to go for me is the patched (Re-Translate) SNES version.

@@moister3727 I wish I could do the re-translate snes version on PC. I can get the pc steam version looking like the snes version but there are no timer bars which is annoying i think, and no re-translation iirc?

Now that will be a long ass wait =/

@@s_guedes I know. But I believe the reason we're waiting so long for this on the switch and chrono cross coming first is a good sign. Let's hope!

@@ccarbone3561 they are measuring interest right now for sure, but the lukewarm reviews of CC right now might kill it for good unfortunately

You mean remaster. I'd rather have crono resurrection fully made.

@@s_guedes have literally alreasdy waited 20 years for this to happen...

But he said it's not there at previous version, the "bug" is just now there after latest update

i'm guessing they added a pixel snapping algorithm to actors, only that the algorithm isn't good. though i'm not sure if the game had any issues drawing perfect pixels on PC, i'm only getting into the chrono games now.

@@simpson6700 yes i guess so, the game looks slightly better now but still an inconsistent mess in steam

shill, fake comment

The original translation/re-adaptation has no match. The extra features were unnecessary. The dream devourer and Lavos is supposed to be one-hit K.O. with the final of Magus + Marle and Lucca triple tech.

the bonus content is dogshit and totally breaks the apcing of the game. It's all optional but barring the endings it adds nothing to the game. The Lost Sanctum takes 5 hours to beat and it's a bunch of back ot back fetch quest 3 hours before the final boss

Imagine Chrono Trigger remake like Secret of Mana...

They did that with some FF games as well. Unexpected but always welcome.

Stop this mimimimi Regal Pixel Queen!!!

@@timurkral3781 I fail to understand what you are trying to say. But I do agree that I am fabulous.

@@VOAN Woah, seriously? Mind pointing me towards it then? I've been itching to replay this game.

@@VOAN unh... i doubt a super nes could play the modded room properly bro. stick to emulators

This is by far not the worst anymore. At release, sure.

Because they are, across the board, mobile ports with shoestring budgets, because the people writing the checks at Square Enix are more interested in cashing in on nostalgia than sharing and preserving their classic library.

The only steam versions that are worse are the mobile ports. The Pixel Remasters are great.

@@ValkyrieTiara more passable than great. There's always a better way to play these games than PR.

​@@TonyTonyRedgrave I disagree. I think the pixel remasters tend to be among the best official versions aside from the originals, and in many cases you could make an argument for PR being superior. The only things I care about for ports and remasters of these games are accuracy to the original and error correction, and maybe the occasional unobtrusive QoL enhancement or bonus feature (run button and buying item stacks in FF1, bestiary, art gallery, etc). Anything that significantly changes the aesthetic, gameplay, or story compared to the originals is a non-starter. An exception is made for the 8 bit games' graphics, considering very few ports/remakes use the og graphics for those games. The pixel remasters are almost exactly that. They didn't try to overhaul the graphics (though I wish they hadn't homogenized the menus), the gameplay and mechanics are mostly untouched save for bug fixes, and they didn't try to reinvent the wheel with the retranslations. The only real problems I have with them are a few technical issues, the lack of an original OST option (though the new versions are, on the whole, possibly the best OST remakes I've ever heard), and a hard mode or something to make up for the huge drop in difficulty in a lot of games due to bug fixes and rebalancing, but that last one is hardly unique to the PRs. Those are all relatively minor quibbles, though. Other than that theyre great.

Video about Persona 1 would be quite short considering there's pretty much just the Japanese PS1 version, the localized western version that is outright missing it's secret alternative story mode and the PSP remake.

It did recieve a very early Windows port as well. But is not like a shorter video would be bad

Maybe they could not emulate the sound chip inside the SNES (which was in fact made by Sony) on the PS1 version. Same for the new Chrono Cross remaster. The reverb is gone (you can tell when in-game pausing).

PS1*

Better to buy the ds lite so you can play Chrono Trigger and gba games to get the best of both worlds.

@@DjCrispyFingers Not really if they don't have any GBA games, and the DSI display is just better

what does 'semi-retiring' your 'gaming career' mean? I thought I was on Reddit for a second

Get a 3DS if you can pref a new 3DS, you cannot only play DS games on it but also a lot of cool 3Ds games.

honestly, ive been emulating it recently because i was playing the steam version and only about an hour in i had numerous crashes and streaming it on discord didnt show any of the cut scenes, so i just moved on over to the ds version but through emulation and its been alot smoother and menus are cleaner as well. only issues are audio is a very minor downgrade and the screen is smaller since it has to display 2 screens (i have the 2nd screen smaller though)

no, Drastic emulator does wonders for this game

Drastic Emulator for Android does magic with this game, I often forget there's two screens, because most of the time I play it with one screen in full size, so Only use 2 screens when in Menu. Changing this setting are way so easy...!!!!!

@@bassram3337 Drastic the best man!!! Just bought it because I think it deserves my support

@@andyporcello2422 Is it possible to play the game with only 1 screen? Can you share the menu with the same screen if you press start?

Still a shame about what is missing

​@alumlovescake im pretty sure they patched in all ds content tho moving diagonally still cause a slight shake

Cross did just hit that point where the original game isn't a viable way to play it anymore, so the timing makes sense. I'm hoping it means they're planning to do something too, even if it's just something Chrono themed in FF14. Been a fan for a long time, I'd like to get *something*.

God the remaster was so sad, it runs worse than PS1 how is that even possible

Those sequels suck.

Well if you have a hacked Wii U you can play the DS version in a CRT, with both screens and an official emulator.

@@perezkoala i don't think the Wii U supports 240p output tho

@@timurkral3781 valid point from an 8 year old.

Stay far away from the Steam version, trust me.

@@nahelbeuk why? Is it that bad?

DS version is far superior...content wise it's complete and ties in well with Chrono Cross PS version has loading times at every battle. Probably one of the worst versions our there.

Definitely get the DS version! Having played the original SNES version as a kid, the DS version brought out that kid in me again like crazy.

Chrono Trigger is almost impossible to find on DS now. I’ve got the 2DSXL, which plays every 3DS and DS game I think, but there are “copies” floating around saying they only work with original DS, leading me to believe they’re ROMs or duplications. I have also seen some Japanese import versions of the game that seem more available to purchase compared to the US version. Any idea if that’s a viable option? Would the text auto-translate to English if I used the Japanese import (since my 2DSXL is USA registered)? Just thought I’d ask around, since internet searches have been confusing, and most internet posts are years old by now.

Take time with it

Not really, as Chrono Cross just doesn't work well at all as a sequel to Trigger. It's better off being thought of as its own game.

Battle 1 sounded better on ds from the comparison

Are there any other games that do that?

@@gaylordfocker7990 Yeah some Gyakuten Saiban/ Ace Attorney games have an english option as well

On top my head DS versions of the first three Ace Attorney games Super Metroid Final Fantasy X International (PS2 only) Metal Gear Solid Integral (item descriptions are still in Japanese) Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance Super Smash Bros Melee Any Japanese version of a 1st Party Nintendo Switch game ( I’m sure this is the case for some 3rd stuff released worldwide) All Pokémon games from Gen 6 onward

Even more fun fact, the Nintendo DS was the last true handheld before the Switch where the hardware was actually region free. They started region locking their handheld system once they updated to the DSi and into the 3DS. While I applaud Satoru Iwata and Reggie for bringing success to the Wii and DS, region locking the Wii, DSi, 3DS, and Wii U were the worst decision ever made for gaming and Nintendo wonder why their stocks are falling once the 3DS and Wii U launch.

@@VOAN Yeah, we all knew that brother. Just wondering which DS games would actually recognize or dismiss region-locking and actually translate to the proper langy on actual hardware.

It's because. Apparently. The game is running an emulator in an emulator. Add that to PS3 and it's yet another stack of emulator.

All versions of WoTL have slowdowns with abilities/spells, from that I've seen. Even back on the PSP when it first came out it had the massive slowdowns (on original hardware or emulated). That was enough to kill it for me and I can only play the original PS1 version of the game, despite their being less content.

Same! I remember being excited for an update and then deeply regretting pressing update.

Exactly, it was a terrible surprise... And the fact that they didn't make it optional for mobile like on Steam is even worse.

Did they no revert it? Or make it selectable?

@@TomAnderson7 As far as I can tell from looking up a few post about it, they haven't changed the visuals nor added the ability to revert it back to normal despite apparently releasing a new update back in March.
