What's the best way to play silent hill...

What's the best way to play silent hill ? I watched playthroughs on youtube because I was too much of a vagina to play them.

I never played a Silent Hill before, but I'm looking for playing it on Halloween

Thanks

Best way? On a real deal PS2 + CRT, in release order, highest difficulty, lowered Brightness.
Alone, in the dark room.

Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
DON'T use W10's own virtual disc app! It will not work.
Don't install under C:\Program Files\ ! This will cause issues.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate using ePSXe or PCSX-R.

Follow the SH2 widescreen fix site's instructions to the teeth, and you should be fine.
For 3 & 4, check the Guide.

>Protips
-Play in the release order.
-Never play below Normal difficulty! Especially in case of #2!
-Replaying them all is recommended; tons of replay value.
-Turn down the ingame Brightness setting, for better gamma & colors!
-Don't try to kill everything that moves, especially outdoors. Leg it, or sneak!
-Turning OFF the flashlight can really help w/ stealth!

You should upgrade ASAP to the latest version of the guide: Though ignore the mention of Mednafen. ePSXe works way better for most people, and hifi-graphics whores should look up PCSX-R and its PGXP hacks.

Ps2 on a crt, Damn that would be dope. I'd have to buy a ps2 and a copy of silent hill 1,2 and 3 though.

Totally worth it. I'm glad I still got my original copies from way back then.
Still, I do realize that asking everyone to go out and hunt those games + devices is starting to be more and more taunting demand. Thus, the PC ports + the "Enhanced Edition" fan-patches are the way to go on the eve of 2020s. Arguably the definitive versions, especially if you care about Ultra-HD visuals.

>I watched playthroughs on youtube
Congrats. You have completely spoiled everything that can be spoiled.

Not much to it

Just buy the ps2 and burn the games on a CD

Surely there's more to it than literally burning isos onto a DVD?

Yes, there is.

forgot to mention, you're going to definitely want to enhanced edition w/ bug fixes. it completely blows the PS2 original out of the water in every way, including fully compatible widescreen and better audio without the fuzzy/scratching after each effect ends like in the originals. you can also save whenever if that's a bonus for you. game looks fantastic. need to find out how to take a screenshot so i can show you. just finished the "in water" run. haven't played this game in 5 years but it's just as great as i remember.

did you mount each CD using daemon tools lite?

I tried mounting using just windows

use daemon tools the built in extractor for windows DOES NOT work

Can't you read the thread?

So you people don't read the threads, the image guides, or the install tutorial video? See: >DON'T use W10's own virtual disc app! It will not work.

Wontworks 10 is an anti-piracy system of its own. It WILL block oldass vidya.

I thought he meant the hd version like the 360 and ps3.

>I thought he meant the HD versions like 360 and PS3
Who the living FUCK would ever "recommend" those blunder of the millennium -tier fuck ups? This your first time on a SH-thread or something ?

I heard they literally have source code missing

Shut the Fuck up autist

That is true, but it is also a bullshit excuse the filthy noobs behind that atrocious "HD" "Collection" give in order to cover their asses.
Remember: The truly SKILLED HD remastering studios, such as the Blue-Point, who did the MGS', GoW's and Ico/SotC's HD ports, did NOT use any kind of oldass source codes!
They literally took retail PS2 discs, reverse-engineered all the OG data out of them, and then worked their coding magic on them to make them run on new hardware.

end your existence.

So are we including other Silent Hill games besides the 1-4? I kinda liked Downpour

That makes sense then, the SotC PS4 version is amazing

>I kinda liked Downpour
I take that you have a feces fetish?

>the SotC PS4 version is amazing
That is a complete REMAKE made from scratch.
I was referring to the original PS3 HD remasters, that are pretty much 1:1 copies of the PS2 version, running at much higher resolution and framerate.

Stupid Fuck

This one isn't as comfy as other SH threads

I have no idea why would anyone subject themselves to that traumatic torture known as Downpoor. I would unironically rather replay Homocoming over it.

>Wontworks 10 is an anti-piracy system of its own. It WILL block oldass vidya.
That's true. They removed an old form of DRM for "security reasons" but it ended up just breaking a shitload of old games. Even if you bought the games they won't work, unless someone has patched the game to skip the DRM check.

I played it on ps now, maybe because it was a little blurry I didn't notice what was wrong with it lol

What's the default controller setup for SH3?
Mine just says "button 3" etc

buff bodybuilder Pyramid Head or regularly muscled Pyramid Head?

One reason I praise my old and trusty W7 PC every day.
Shit just werks.

>I didn't notice what was wrong with it lol
More like you don't even have any sort of comparison point, and thus remained oblivious to all its glaring issues. No, the graphics are not the biggest issue here, though obviously the easiest to spot.

Hell, even the Team-Silent's original developers HATE that fucking thing! Ito literally wept on Twitter when the collection was released.

big titty female pyramid head

What part of the game does pianissimo epilogue play

He became too cool for his own good. This is why he went on to become the mascot of the franchise even though he is supposed to be James monster only.

during the "score" screen that tells you how well you did/how many endings you got.

Does it matter if I don't install the directx 8.1 drivers?

Fucking beautiful

>I played it on ps now,
...why?
And no, you never EVER should bother with the HD Collection!

Do not install them.
Jesus, why bother making all these guides if people still don't read them ?

>More like you don't even have any sort of comparison point, and thus remained oblivious to all its glaring issues
Pretty much. I was still shitting my pants and loving it though.
I only played SH2 and got stuck on that 3rd flood gate in the hotel, so will I at least have a decent amount of the game left? I'll try the good versions. I'm was watching the PC version but it looks a little too clean so I'm going to do PCSX2.

does the PS4 controller work with PCXS2?

there was an angry person ITT, he's gone now

It was all I had access to but I have a good PC now.

Yes.

Yes but you need DS4 to make it read it

you're literally 90% of the way done with the game. maybe 95%.

Shit

>play the HD collection
who would even THINK of doing something so DISGUSTING?

>I'm was watching the PC version but it looks a little too clean so I'm going to do PCSX2.
What do you mean "too clean"?

Was the Noise -filter turned OFF ? Just keep it on.
HD resolutions too "sharp" for you? Just play at 4:3 480p.
Never ever succumb to the horrors of PS2 emulation.

And yeah, you were at literally the last 10th of the game. Dunno how you can get "stuck" in the hotel.

>Pretty much. I was still shitting my pants and loving it though.
As long as you realize that you played a heavily butchered version of the game that every single soul on this planet hates, with worse graphics, worse audio, worse performance AND very much worse voice-acting than in the original, you're good.

You were nearly done with the whole game. And you should play the PC ports instead.

Series ends after 3. That's all.

Would you guys play a PS1 style demake of Silent Hill 2 or 3?

No

none, make a modern Remake like RE2, but konami never will

Yeah, the noise filter is what was missing.
I got to the 3rd floor at but the gate was locked at the top of the staircase. Didn't know where to go after.

Wow, why did they redo the voice acting?

I wanna skip sh1 because of the boring music

Gladly, if it was done by a team as skilled as 1998's T-S.

>Yeah, the noise filter is what was missing.
Many people turn it off on purpose. You can switch it off even on consoles, but I think you had to finish the game once in order to unlock the option originally.

>Wow, why did they redo the voice acting?
Because Jewnami are literal fucking jews, who wanted to make the SH HD ports as cheap as possible, including NOT pay the original devs and VAs any royalties for re-using their material.
The only reason an OPTION to use old voices (in SH2 only) was later on implemented was because the actors finally bent the knee and LET the Konami use their score, for free, just so that the ports would be a tiny bit less fucked up.

You still have to suffer of the terrible nu-OST and fucked up sound effects / mixing in general, no matter what.

tl;dr: Do not play the HD collection. Forget everything you know about the HD collection.

1) kys.
2) Sh1's music is amazing and literally the root of the future games.
3) SH1 > all the rest. No joke.

Are you just gonna shit the thread telling everyone to kill themselves? It's not 2015 anymore dumbass.

>I got to the 3rd floor at but the gate was locked at the top of the staircase. Didn't know where to go after.
...didn't bother to find a key to said staircase?
Anyway, since your first experience has been nearly ruined by THE worst rock-bottom of all "HD remasters", you truly should replay the game in its original form.

How long have you been playing it? 1 has the scariest "industrial" music out of the first three IMO, and it's really good at that. It gets pretty disturbing at some points.

>Are you just gonna shit the thread telling everyone to kill themselves?
Until I get a hold of a real-life variant of the Death Note, that works on Anons on the interwebs, yes.

This. Plus it is filled with some truly gut-wrecking emotional pieces, like Not Tomorrow, and the Lisa's theme. You know which one.

I will for sure.

Attaboy.
Once you are done with SH1-4, go check out the VERY detailed, 2 hour long analysis / review on the SH HD Collection, made by TwinPerfect.
The history and reception on this travesty is tragicomic as fuck.

3 was already pushing it with all the action weapons and lack of good/funny endings that aren't a complete chore to get. not to mention most songs from the soundtrack don't even play while in-game except for cutscenes.

Should they remake Silent Hill 1, the correct way this time?

No.
No.
NO

Yes they should remake 1-4

>not to mention most songs from the soundtrack don't even play while in-game except for cutscenes.
youtube.com/watch?v=PTx4dQXN400

This is my favorite song from SH3 but you only hear like 5 seconds of it during a short cutscene. Not sure what they were doing.

I don't think so. The way SH1 looks adds to the game in some ways, which would be lost with a remake. I'd like it to be ported to PC maybe, and eventually VR, but not a remake.

i love not tomorrow

Burial sampled that shit

Anyone got a mega link for SH 4?

Why do I get this shit when I try to drag the .cue file into the mednafen.exe?

Attached: Untitled.png (544x227, 12K)

FILE "SILENT HILL NTSC.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00


i think you have to put this in the .cue file instead of what's currently in there. i remember having the same problem.

there were two spaces in front of the second line, and four in front of the third, just in case them not being there fucks it up somehow. Yea Forums removed the spaces.

>no command line arguments specified

This is fucking gay I give up

Just use ePSXe instead, I don't think I had an issue with that. I never liked mednafen or any of the other all-in-one emulators.

>ePSXe
wheres the bios file located

nvm i got it

They should not.
They will rape everything once holy about them.

for best speed and visuals, use Pete's OpenGL 1.77 plugin, and stick to 480p res without texture filtering. Otherwise, everything up to high + automatically detected fps limit.

A Silent Hill shooter focused TPS or FPS game. Not a main game but more like a fun spinoff. You get to shoot SH monsters and explore cool SH underworld levels with fast paced shooting combat.

Would you play it Yea Forums? Please don't be such a boring stiff and post that picture. It would be fun and you know it.

Play "Afraid of Monsters" and "Cry of Fear". It's basically what you're describing.

holee fuckn shit

Actually was thinking more something in line with Doom or Resident Evil 4 and 5.

Are they suppose to form a squinty dog?

Why do you have to be gay?

Last Halloween I dusted off my ps2 and set it up on an old crt and played though SH2, really enjoyed myself.
Then I played though SH1 on an emulator even though I was chicken shit. Didn't I would be able to play through the elementary. But I made it.
Good times.

need silent hill 1 iso bin files don't espsx

see >don't espsx
Not sure what you mean by that, but you can use whatever emulator you want. Or ePSXe can emulate the bios.

The bin file doesn't work with epsxe, my application just force quits

Did you try a different version of ePSXe or different plugins?

Why would I need to do that?

because the one you're trying now crashes

It just tells me I need an iso

just start it using the .cue file.

crash, I have the latest version of epsxe

2.0.5? it works fine for me. i just go to file > run iso > and select the .bin file and it starts up. is that what you tried?

Fucking thing just keeps closing on its own, ah fuck this I'm gonna sleep

Try 1.7 or 1.5.2
Also, what BIOS and plugins do you use ?

I'm using the 1001 bios

this is from the epsxe forum, in a thread for crashing on startup/when launching a game

Attached: e.jpg (714x275, 64K)

guess i should've just posted the forum link since it contains the links to the files you might need

ngemu.com/threads/epsxe-fails-to-start-or-crashes-upon-running-a-game.112628/

weird.
I've pretty much carried the same oldass ePSXe with me from one PC to another, for nearly 15 years now, and it always just works.

This did nothing

pbernert.com/html/gpu.htm#OGL2

try using this for the video plugin if you haven't already. if that doesn't work, then just try another emulator i guess.

Gonna have to find another emulator then

never really had anyone else with this problem. maybe try pcsxr.

>just to make sure... check in options under CPU overclock and make sure x1 is checked... 2.0.5 seems to have a bug where when installed on some systems it doesn't automatically select a cpu speed and it causes a black screen (And eventual crash)
last thing you could try with epsxe

Fucking hell! That did it!

awesome! enjoy the game, user.
