The Next Fist of the North Star/Hokuto no Ken thread

Got the sit down 29 inch cab for this, and just got a 2p egret panel, after a bit of wiring it will be fully ready to go. If you’re in NOVA/DC area and want to play let me know.

We are streaming the Hokuto No Ken AllStars battles & freeplay every day of this week starting from 5 pm (French time) to an undefined ending hour (usually 11 pm except thursday/friday/saturday where we will play all night long).

You can check it out here : HOKUTO NO KEN FRANCE - ???AC on USTREAM: HOKUTO ALL STARS 2011 stream. France - 01/31 to 02/06/2011…

kool, thanx bro

Is there any particular reason why my HnK disc and my backup copy won’t work with Swap Magic? Melty Blood and all my US games work fine, but with HnK it makes weird clicking sounds and won’t play at all.

That’s weird… swap magic works for my HnK copy.

Hmmm. Its disappointing, a friend let me borrow the game and I can’t play it, its very sad. I’ve been looking into the game for some time now, it looks fun.

My best guess is that your copy of swap magic is obsolete and can’t play that game, certain newer games don’t work with older versions of swap magic for some reason. I had that problem with Psychic Force Collection awhile back due to this.

just use swap magic to install free mcboot then run the game that way

Hmm. Melty Blood AA is newer than HnK to my knowledge in terms of console release. But it might be my Swap Magic.

We’re done !

Here is the best of the last french HNK session :

hey pharaon, too bad i couldn’t make it, my exam is in 2 days :confused:
anyway, i’ll watch those matches now and wish i was there when it happened ^^

nice matches

No problem, I knew it’d be hard for you to come with all those exams ! :wink:
Demul 0.5.6 currently has input lag with my X360 stick plugged to my computer, I guess I’ll wait for a newer release to get this fixed. Anyway, the emulator runs smooth & the game looks awesome on a LCD screen.

bump. never let it die

You broke my heart. I thought this was getting bumped because of a PSN/360 Live port.

dreams of a port with GGPO instead of having to drive 2 hours to Gameworks

:’(

you really belive that sega would port this, specially after taking the game out of sbo, and basically being the reason why this game didnt have a revision (asw wanted to do it, sega no, since they dont want to make 2d games anymore :frowning: )

Damn it man, I thought there was news of a HnK2. :sad:

But a PSN version of this game with gdlk netcode would make my day.

Man at least your GW has it.

There was nothing about that sentence that I liked at all.

[details=Spoiler]

So is anyone still playing this? I just moved back to Canada and not being able to play sucks.

Out of boredom I have been updating the Hokuto section on the SRK Wiki since there seems to be so little current information on this game anywhere in English. So far all of the general stuff is done and I have just started on the characters. If anyone has any ideas/requests for things to be added to the Wiki or just has general questions about the game let me know!
