Hey everyone.

So with me recently again playing beatstar and rhythm rage, I wanted to get my hands on some of the rhythm heaven games, at leased those which are playable.

due to naming differences between the japanese, english and german titles I am a bit confused on what is available and accessible for which system.

So, which game would you say is the most accessible or rather, fun one to play?

FYI, my computer is pritty powerfull, 16 gigs ram, I7 quad skylake, 1070 gtx graphics, so I should be able to run most emulators.

So, any hints are welcome.

Greetings Moritz.

Every game starting from DS, the WII version and 3ds are playable fully. I can't recommend playing any of those on emulators as there are imput lags making the experience really frustrating and being far from perfect.

Hi.

Huh, guess I should look for a cheap nintendo DS then, do i need a specific model or does any ds version do?

Any DS System will do, but getting a 2ds/3ds will allow you to play megamix and Rhythm Heaven DS as well.
If you're stuck with an original DS or DS Lite, you can play RH DS as well as RH for Gameboy advance if you can find that one.
Megamix is physical in europe only, so if your in the US you'll have to have someone help you get an account on the EShop and buy the game.
Later!

I have 49 out of 50 game perfects using Dolphin for the wii emulator and I got them within a few weeks, so it is possible to emulate Rhythm Heaven Fever nearly perfectly.

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Same for the gva version. Never noticed lag with vba, but I recommend a controller for the drumb lessons as they can be quite brutal.

2019-05-21 07:50:11

Hi.
Thanks for bringing this topic up again.
So, if I get a 2Ds or 3Ds console, then I can play all the games, including the gba game as well?

Best regards SLJ.

The 3ds line of consoles do not have a gba game slot, so you will only be able to play rhythm heaven gold and megamix. However, if you get one of the original ds consoles, not including the dsi, you will be able to play rhythm heaven gold, and if you can find a copy, the Japanese gba exclusive rhythm tengoku. But since most the songs in the gba game are in megamix, which has more songs over all.....

2019-05-21 09:18:59

Hi. I'll quickly put in my two cents here. Since I have no way to buying real hardware, I emulate everything. I got the GBA, DS, and Wii games to work perfectly with pretty midle of the road hardware, I was easilly able to get  all 50 perfects on all three games. The thing with the GBA and DS though, is that you need to mess around with configurations to get the best result. So if you are interested, I can give you some instructions. Dolphin for the Wii works out of the beox basically, so you really don't need to change anything besides setting up your controls. Unfortunately, I don't think emulating Megamix is possible, yet, but I would love to play that. Maybe at some point in the future I'll buy myself a 2DS.

2019-05-21 15:51:46

Hi.
@10, thanks for the help, then I guess dolphin it is with RH feaver, I think it is.

Do you have a menu guide or something like that lying around for the game? The only thing I did with dolphin now was using gamecube games, I had my bluetooth gamepad attached. Will that work as well with rhythm heaven?

Greetings Moritz.

Hi. Unfortunately, Dolphin uses different maps for Gamecobe and Wii, so you can use your gamepad in theory, but you would have to write the controls in separately. I can write a quick menu guide, but I want there to be a reason for my updated playthrough I am starting. I focus on menu layouts much more on the parts I have already recorded, and will definitly try explaining any screens as I get to them. If listening to it bit by bit is not your thing, and if you think you can get by with a quick text rundown  about the file select menu and level select screen, I could do that, it's just, my schedule is a little busy at the moment, and I want to get a little ahead so I can release the parts on a kind of regular basis. .

2019-05-21 22:41:26

Hi.

Ok, I will go and config the controls then.

I don't mind listening to the playthrough, I just wanted to get started with the game quite soon, do you know when you will start putting out your first parts of the playthrough?Rough estimate?

Greetings Moritz.

@KenshiraTheTrinity: So, I can't get a console where I can play all the Rhythm Heaven games? What console would you recommend then?

Hi. At post 13, I will try to upload part1 on friday at the latest, then I'll see if I can record some more parts before uploading part2. It all depends on how much free time I have. But thanks for being patient.
At post14, I am curious, I am not sure what you are talking about, what would there be in a folder like this? Do you mean save files or sounds or something?
At post 15, There are two ways you can play two rh games with one consol, the most likely being the 3DS or 2DS, where you could play Rh DS and Megamix with one consol, the other case may be if you get an original DS with e GBA slot, that allows you to play Rhythm Tengoku as well as Rh DS. Unfortunately, RH Fever is Wii exclusive and you can't get it any other way.

2019-05-22 10:28:46

My recommendation is either the 3ds or 2ds console. Don't worry too much about the gameboy advance game, as megamix has stuff from that to the Wii to the ds and more. Think of it as a greatest hits collection of sorts. Then if you want more you can pick up the ds game. The only thing megamix doesn't have from the old games are a few songs and the bonus toys and minigames from those old games, which is an excuse to go back to them, but megamix has it's own extras to unlock and over a hundred songs to boot, whereas the older games have somewhere between 30 to 50 each.

Wow. Thank you very much @zseli and @KenshiraTheTrinity.

Hi.
@zseli: Thank you so much for all the awesome playthroughs you have made of the games by using the emulators. Really well explained.
When using the mouse, are you then using NVDA? I wander how you have figured out which icons to press. Sounds a bit complicated, but doable.
I'm not sure if I'll get the console or just stick to the emulators. I can get the console pretty cheep here.
Does OCR work in those games, for example OCR in NVDA?

Best regards SLJ.

Hi. Yeah, it's NVDA's mouse tones I'm using, i really would be kinda stuck without them, unless I had a touch screen of some kind. But I don't. Though, the Wii is capable of using motion controls and the censor bar, it is never required to play Rhythm Heaven Fever, except for the phone minigame that is just a bunch of random secret eastereggs. You need the censor bar for that. As for OCR, Maybe it works, i am not running windows 10 so I can' test, and the OCR Add on I have didn't work, for the DS version at least. but in theory, it may work, maybe if I get a fast enough computer with windows 10 on it, I can test that out, but I am just too afraid to upgrade my existing one sine people keep talking about all the performance breaks and bloat and all that. Oh, also, I'm glad you like my playthroughs. Thanks for your feedback.

2019-05-24 08:12:17

I'm also using a Mac computer, and Windows 10 runs just fine in a virtual machine. smile I'm not trying to force you to update though.
Something which I don't get:
According to the fantastic guide in the articles room, the Megamix game can be navigated by using the arrow keys on the Nintendo 3Ds. why do you then have to use the mouse to navigate in the emulated version?

Hi. The reason is symple. Rhythm heaven for DS, aka Rhythm Tengoku Gold, is a completely different game from Rhythm Heaven Megamix, in japanese, Rhythm tengoku, the best, plus. Megamix  can be played by using the buttons, including the D-pad, but since the touch screen on the original DS was a gimmic, the developers disabled any button from working, apart from the start button, and the sholder buttons "L" and "R", for bending guitar notes. But besides that, no other buttons do anything, unless, of course, you are using the Lua script that enables the buttons to act as a simulated mouse. I hope that answers your question. I have never played megamix myself, since it can't be emulated at this time, or at least not that I know of. It will be a lot of fun when I do get to play it though.

2019-05-24 09:57:10

I would also love to play Megamix when it gets emulated, as well
