MiSTer FPGA - Korokoro Post Nin [JogCon 1cc] (コロコロポストニン) / PlayStation

*PLEASE WATCH IN HIGHEST QUALITY 1440p!* Use chapters to skip excessive dialogue! I've been experimenting with a lot of different game types with the Namco JogCon while testing the upcoming "Reflex Adapt" board from MiSTerAddons. 'Stage rotation' games like this are a perfect fit for JogCon & feel far more natural than just pressing buttons to spin. Sorry if this video makes you experience discomfort while watching- this game will invoke nausea for some! Looking to get into MiSTer FPGA? Great quality kits, parts & support at https://www.MiSTerAddons.com

This is a little-known PS1 game that I first learned about from Jim "KidShoryuken"'s channel, now called "Mad Panic Gaming". The main reason this one isn't known very well is that it released in 2002, well into the PS2 generation and is a Japan-only release. It's also a very niche genre of game, started by the arcade classic "Cameltry" by Taito. I'd like to find other games in this genre to try out with the JogCon as they just feel so natural to control like this & it makes them a really engaging and fun experience as a result. If anyone has any recommendations there please comment here or hit me up on Twitter!

Tips: 50,000pts on a stage gets you a 1up. 500pts awarded for each second left- consider this when going for point items. Stock up before later levels with 1-hit kill "death balls". They are deceptive! Small ones have a much larger hitbox than they seem & large ones have a much smaller hitbox than appears.

The "Reflex Adapt" I used for JogCon compatibility is a work-in-progress USB board by MiSTer Addons that converts classic controllers for use on modern systems/MiSTer. It uses the same HDMI-style controller connectors as the SNAC/SNAX boards that MiSTer Addons provides. JogCon code in the board was originally made by Sorgelig a few years back (the same person who created MiSTer) and improved upon with the "fake spinner" mode by sonik. The Reflex adapter is based on sonik's RetroZord arduino code and provides low latency 1000hz-compatible conversion for most classic controller types. This should be releasing sometime in 2023, and is a great way to breathe new life into a limited-use controller like the JogCon!

The PlayStation core was created by FPGAzumSpass, whom previously brought us the GBA, Lynx and WonderSwan cores, along with enhancements to the Game Boy and NES cores, and significantly improved performance in the AO486 core. He's currently working on bringing N64 to MiSTer.

None of this would be possible without the constant hard work of Sorgelig. It cannot be overstated how much he has done and continues to do for this project, since its beginning. You can support him either at his Patreon in the link below, or on Paypal, depending on your preference. MiSTer is a paradigm shift in how we can experience these classic games. This is a long-term preservation project that will continue to grow so that gamers today and in the future can experience these excellent systems as accurately and lag-free as possible. Donating what you can will help keep the updates coming. Thank you.
