advantages of loading times during cutscene on arcade card pro/duo over 3.0 card

[RegalSin]

Note: I already stated that Dragon Lair could run on the PCE, On another forum.

[Tatsujin]

but also in amazing HuVideo? And how do you know?

and a HuVideo hack by our tom:

I wonder know, if it would have been possible to realize QTE games like dragon's lair, time gal with HuVideo? Would have been awesome and much superior to the available MCD stuff.

Wow. That's awesome. I hadn't seen that hack before. Has he released a tool for this? Is it possible to get an ISO of that hacked Gulliver Boy? I'd like to see it running on my own PCE. I'm sure it would have been possible to make Dragon's Lair etc. with this. Hell, probably wouldn't even be that difficult as a homebrew (pirate) project.

yeah, would be very cool. and Time Gal as well.

John Madden also uses HuVideo, some of which is doubled or whatever to be full screen. The quality is good but the source material isn't.

The Gulliver Boy cinemas are pretty high color, I think around 85 colors or something. The dithering looks like film grain and it's nice and clear without any chunking.

HuVideo could do nice versions of any fmv game for SCD, but it would have been cool to see if the Arcade Card could have expanded it a bit further. At least some nice preloaded clips would have been possible, like the pre-title screen clip in Sapphire.

Yeah. Imagine what could of been, had the technology been developed sooner. The Turbo could have had more of those FMV-based games the Sega CD had. It sounds stupid now, but back in the day it was a cool gimmick, and I was kind of jealous of the Sega CD's wealth of FMV games. All the FMV games released on the Turbo outside Japan had noticeable issues, and the problems with the technology is probably what kept most of the games from getting made. There could have at least been Time Gal, Road Blasters, and Thunder Storm FX in Japan on the PCE had HuVideo been around sooner.

 I didn't release my tools, but I did release the HuVideo file format spec - so anyone could make their own Huvideos and converter.

I had never seen that HuVideo demo before. Awesome.

and a HuVideo hack by our tom:

Hm, I kinda enjoyed that 3:00 minutes into it when the Jap rockstar babe starts doing her thing. Sounds like it's a good pop/rock'n'roll song based on beat, music, etc. despite not understanding a word of it.

Priss...is so cool. So cool.

What about the graphic capabilities of the PCE and Sega CD? I doubt the color palette or graphic resolution on either system would be up to the task. Any sort of clever processing to get around this by approximating the color palette/downscanning the resolution on either system would probably require processing power that neither system has as well.

The color of the PCE is adequate, the color of the MD is never adequate.

The output resolution of both systems is plenty, but only if they could render video across their entire resolution at full speed without running out of buffer which I assume they probably can't, otherwise the Yuna video would have been full screen.

The other problem is that since VCD is different color/resolution-wise than a PCE there will (I assume) have to be a little bit of conversation going on, which is going to hit the CPU pretty hard.

So...HuVideo yes, actual MPEG1 VCD, no.

I would love to buy Dragon's Lair for the 100th time as a PCE game. I bought the DSi one (and DL2, and Space Ace) and its really good. One of the very few home conversions that has as little scene lag as the LD one.

[shubibiman]

Dragon's Lair and Space Ace should have been released as LD-Rom² games. It would have made sense.

[SignOfZeta]

It would have made a LOT of sense. Its ironic because Digital Leisure has pooped out ports of Dragon's Lair for basically every other system in existence.

[soop]

I lol'd the other day at the Samurai Jack Dragons Lair reference. 
"Where the road forks, the path to the left will lead to the dragons lair." 
"and the path to the right?"
"Space Ace!"

I can see so many people not getting that

Any chance you could provide a link to that?  I checked romhacking.net, but couldn't seem to find anything; either that or I'm looking in the wrong place.
