Just as the title states, the emulator version of Boktai 1 doesn't seem to save in the options at the title screen. I'm at the portion of the game where you get the Kaamos curse, and you have to use the dew from the solar tree exactly at dawn to lift the curse. I'm not able to change the time to that point, and I dread to have to get up that early in hopes I turn it on at the right time lol. Is there a way to fix the emulator time setting?

So does Lunar Knights have some version of the Pile Driver? I actually liked dragging the coffin back then purifying the Immortals in Boktai 1-3. I haven't played Lunar Knight but am aware that it is in-game weather based.

I played this game back when I was 13 or so, found it at a half price books for 25 dollars. Now, some 15 years later, I got a flash cart and swapped enough emblems around to finally see the secret boss. I can't wait to build 99 full floors and finally unlock those extra parts!

He has a counter for everything, what the hell 😭

i cant find any special protect box to store a boktai cardrige so I was wondering how other people having the game store it

I just got Boktai The Sun In Your Hand recently and when I save the game then turned off to play later. When I got back to it, my progress is gone. Am I doing something wrong or is there a Specific area for it?

Hi everyone, I played Lunar knights a long time ago and while i recently modded my 2DS i realized it had prequels which, for whatever reason, i never knew about.

Now I've read a lot about the solar sensor but since I don't have a GBA and it is possible for .gba to be exported as .cia for the virtual console i wanted to ask if the VC on the 2DS/3DS has built in support for the solar sensor or if I'd actually need to install the patches?

For Boktai 3 I'll wait until the fan translation is finished (even tho i assume it's never gonna be translated into languages other than English XD)

Hey y’all, Boktai 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. I still have my working cartridge and a DSlite to play it on, but I’m wondering if there are any ROM patches that increase or let you adjust difficulty.

I’d like the enemies to hit a lot harder, be somewhat tankier, make the Gun del Sol use more sunlight. Maybe increase environmental damage so that using traps and stuff to kill enemies is more relevant. Not sure exactly why I’m listing all these things, I guess I’m wondering if anyone here would work with me on something like this if it doesn’t exist.

For those interested in my models, I have uploaded a more broken down version for the Dragoon frame plus the lens and a core for the gun. I have also uploaded more batteries and the Samurai/Guardian frame.

I occasionally see listings online for the Boktai games that appear to be normal black GBA cartridges, not the specialized solar sensor cartridges. Are these legitimate? Does the gameplay still work?

Long and short of it, i'm looking for the japanese names of the terrenials. I know that "toasty" is otenko. Beyond that i can't seem to find anything. I'm most specifically looking for Alexander, the cloud terrenial.

Anyone know?
