How is the X1 port?

Very late reply (I almost never use these forums), but it's a possibility.

Maybe play the games first before blindly dismissing them? Also, people have been asking for ports of both of them for a while. Anyways, this is all really interesting to me. If the reports of the first Yakuza game getting a PC port way before the Kiwami version happened are true, then man, this will be cool for preservation purposes.

ProtectionID.

Nobody asked.

Cave Story. It's only really worth getting the paid version of the game if you like the game that much, really (although it's best if you don't anyways because of the whole deal with Nicalis).

Might just be emulation like a lot of the Ultra 1500 re-releases from back then.

Yeah, when I tried it with Earthworm Jim, it didn't work for me either.

If anything, it looks like a wrapper to me. We wouldn't know unless someone here had the game, though.

Yeah, it should be pointed out if a game uses CD audio or not. It wasn't unusual back in the day, and quite a lot of them are affected in newer Windows versions, so it wouldn't be an bad idea to have a marker for them.
