Hey guys, I was planning on picking up a PlayStation Classic and modding it with project eris. I'd like to install the entire verdite trilogy along with ST to the PS classic and was wondering if anyone has done the same with good results using eris. I've emulated all the games and even own physical copies of KF2 (US) and KF4. I'm really just looking for a good emulation device to keep hooked up to my tv, and of course some fromsoft classics need to be on it. There's a nice compatibly spreadsheet I found with a quick google search but of course these games are untested. I feel like project eris will probably have no issues running these games, but I figured I'd ask before pulling the trigger. I believe this mod uses the PCSX ReARMed emulator.

So, has anyone here given this a try? If so how does it compare to original hardware or emulation on PC with duckstation, etc? Thanks!

For the past month, I've been working on a tool for Sword of Moonlight: King's Field Making Tool. It started out as a mouse injector but it evolved into a broader tool. It works with every legacy Sword of Moonlight game, meaning titles like the King's Field Remake, Diadem of Maunstraut, Heir of Granatyki, Moratheia and more. However, SOMEX games are not supported. Unfortunately, it also doesn't work with the SOM editor's Test Map feature. I may come back to add more features and bugs eventually but for now, this is the finished product.

Features:

Real Mouselook

Modern Keybindings (AKA, WASD movement, left/right click melee/magic, E to activate) HUD Toggles

Configurable Gamespeed

Configurable FOV

Disabling the Inactive Window Pause

Enable/Disable Sprinting, Saving Anywhere and Equipment Weight

All features are configurable and can be turned off or on by the user.

Known Issues:

FOV resets when dying, loading a save or loading a savefile. You can reset it by alt tabbing a few times.

Custom keybindings overlap with the game's original keybindings.

The camera position is only stored in Heir of Granatyki.

Gameplay Speed alters the speed of menus.

Instructions:

Extract all included files to the folder with the game's executable. For example, this might be C:\Games\KING'S FIELD. You can open config.txt and configure the file to your liking.

Uninstallation:

Remove dinput.dll, config.txt and SOMLI.dll from your game directory.

I've been interested in trying King's Field, but since the series is pretty old and first one came out before we even got analog sticks, I'm sure with what game I should start.

I also don't know what emulator would be the best for it since I'm not very experienced with PS1 emulation and I've heard emulating the game can be painful. So I would be greatful for sugestions and maybe some key bindings for smoother experience.

EDIT: Thanks for all suggestions, I've started with KF1 and remapped controls so it's less "pre-analog sticks", especially the camera controls. I don't play many 3d games with a controller it still feels very awkward. I've also tried using a mouse injector but it just feels wrong, the fast and fluid turning makes the game feel incredibly easy since you can easily run circles around the enemies

I still can see Ancient city in my dreams. Like I wasn't just playing a game, but was there myself. Never any game made me feel this way. This was peak. All this 5 years I can't stop thinking about this game.

I beat kf3 and after playing Pilot style I was extra invested in Silviera. I found a lot of people saying he passed through different areas or headed into such and such, but never found him or a body or anything. What became of our dear commander?

I tried Vimm but only see 3 versions of the first game. Any ideas? Thanks!

Is there a known way to play these on either of the official Sony handhelds?

Hey everyone, Im trying to improve my Japanese and one of the games I wanted to play was Kings Field 1 in Japanese instead of using an english patch. I was curious about if theres anything I could get really stuck on If I didnt have a strong grasp of japanese? For example are there puzzles I could get stuck on maybe? I'll be trying my best to translate everything but I just wanted to check this before hand.

I also want to go as blind as possible into this series so if anyone does have any responses, try to keep them as vague as possible. Many thanks

I don’t have a PS1 or 2

Monomyth, a first person 3D dungeon crawler heavily influenced by King's Field, just shadow-announced early access starts -- today!

Has anyone played it yet? I won't be able to check it out for like 10 hours.

Edit: Just played it. It's so amazing. Very refreshing after a disappointing launch for another early access game that came out today.

Hi. I would like to play through a King's Field game.

Just one of them. (they are pretty expensive you know.)

Trying to find out about them myself would likely result in having the plots spoiled so I'd like to know what people would regard as the "Quintessential King's Field game".

Thank You.

i have a second earth crystal. when i use it, i don't seem to learn any new spells. it doesn't seem to modify my existing "earth heal" spell either. should i just sell it?

I recently finished my first playthrough of Dark Souls 2 and my god the game gave me so many examples of being similar to King's Field. Heres my list:

Moonlight Sword(of course its in almost every game theyve made) Living Stone Statues Hidden doors only opened by spamming X on a wall that looks suspicious The hidden doors open like they do in KF2 Petrified enemies and NPCs you need an item to cure The Fragrant Branch of Yore(for depetrifying) The King's Ring and King's Doors Giants and Golems Crestfallen Saulden(of course theres always a crestfallen guy in the SoulsBorneSekiroRing games)

If i missed anything let me know!

Hey! I am writing a script for a panel at a local con I enjoy but I am struggling to find any interviews that cover King's Field the Ancient City's devolvement. Figured I would reach out here and ask. Thank you!

This is driving me nuts. I can't figure out how to get to it.

Can anyone recommend me some KF4 art that I can sketch? I love this game from the bottom of my heart.

Guides say it’s in a ditch but I went there and couldn’t see it?

Hi all, first thing first, English isn't my mother tongue, so I could make some errors, please forgive me.

Today, I jumped in. I found a cheap copy of King's field 3 (in Japanese ofc) and bought. Now I'm waiting to receive the game.

I never played the first two, and I will not hide that I want to play a King's field game thanks to my appreciation for from software's games.

Some times ago I found my old Playstation 1 and begun to looking for games to add to my collection and since it's a modded, even if is a PAL version, it shouldn't have any problem running a Japanese games.

So this is where problem begun. I don't speak Japanese at all. I already completed many games in Japanese (when I was younger, was able to buy Japanese burned games) since it was a way to have some sort of early access.

So can you guys give me some translated screen for the most important menus? Or something I can realy on? I'm already ready to use google translate when playing but every other thing could be useful.

Last thing, I found very different answer on this topic: did this game have something as a save state? Maybe checkpoints or similar? (Without using items) and if saving with items is required, how many of them I will find?

Thank you all, and I can't wait to enjoy (at least I hope it) this game.

I wanna play King's Field (the original japanese one with an English patch)

What emulator should I use?

Any options/configs I need to know about before I play?

Any advice would help, been wanting to pick up one of these games up for a while but price has kept me away. Being the first of the series I figured starting with Kings Field 1 would be the best bet but still unsure.

I really want to play this game because I'm obsessed with horror and dark ambient games, but this game kicks everyone in the chest. I need some tips, before try to play it with life cheat in my first run... Is less fun. And I don't want to replicate a guide with a second screen or something similar.

I play on original PS1 hardware with xstation, so I think I can't use save states. It was hard just find the first save stone. For now I changed all scheme control trying to emulate a Dreamcast FPS, with camera in the front buttons, but the giant skulls and the skeletons after that... It's so much.

I know, I must have courage and try and try, but I don't have the patience I have back in the day with demons souls. Even with that I refuse to not play this amazing dark game. The last chance will be cheat my first run (even can have sense, more hard when you play more)

Hi folks, I noticed on ROMhacking.net there's a hotfix patch for the v1.0 release that alludes to a v1.1 patch that was being worked on in its README:
https://www.romhacking.net/translations/7308/
https://www.romhacking.net/translations/psx/patches/7308readme.txt

I've been trying to check some forums for this patch, namely the Sword of Moonlight forums and an old (partially) archived forum mentioned in the original v1.0 patch README, but the closest I've gotten is to the page that has the translation post listed:
https://web.archive.org/web/20071106064448/http://p207.ezboard.com/Kings-Field-General-/fagetecfrm13?page=2
However it would seem the translation patch page itself wasn't archived, as I've been unable to get into it.

Does anyone know if this v1.1 patch ever ended up releasing?
And if it did, does someone have a working link to it?
