I don 't mean to sound harsh, as developing this emulator is a thankless job that we can enjoy the benefits of for free, but I honestly think the devs just don't have what it takes to fix the glitches in this particular game. No one is going to break Tekken for Ridge Racer, even if the only thing that breaks is Tekken 4.Īt this point I don't think Ridge Racer V will ever get fixed. If they never bought RRV, they're not going to regularly test that game.Īnd if they aren't poked and prodded and given ample feedback on something that they don't necessarily care about, they're not going to have incentive to work on it.Īnd it could also be the simple fact that they already know how to fix it, but fixing it ends up breaking the Tekken games, Soul Calibur games, and any other number of Namco games. After all, even emulator developers only have a set amount of copies.

If no one is willing to test, provide logs or feedback, they're not going to be able to fix games. The next game in the series has little to no issues that can't be fixed by tweaking some settings based on the emulator wiki, so it could easily be RR5 isn't given priority because RR6 works. Games that will attract attention get focus because they'll attract attention, but the ones that will attract attention generally have a bunch of people who have copies that are willing to test, overlapping with #1.Īnd sports games especially fall into the trap of "the sequel is out, so why pay attention to the original" sort of thing. Popular games tend to work because they're popular a bunch of people have copies and are willing to test, so issues get corrected sooner. Click to shrink.It's true to varying degrees.
