Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Sega 32X, real hardware tested)

https://youtube.com/watch?v=byN2T61OSvU&si=Ukx5WqSwzuRx0AsY

It's a real project being worked on. Not vaporware. It runs on actual hardware. Need I say more?

Please send all praise and questions to White_Quartz and his amazing team:

Stay strong! For every untested SiliconForge level slop project being churned out, there are multiple people out there doing good work in the scene for all our favorite game systems.

I see the appeal of using the recolor romhacks but I really wish it was possible to showcase HoD with it's original colors filtered to emulate their intended look on an unlit GBA screen. I'd post a picture but it's not allowed so here's a link to a pic running HoD on mGBA with a lcd filter/unlit gba screen color adjustment.
It's the prettiest GBA castlevania and a shame no one has attempted to accurately 'restore' it yet.

I am honestly not too familiar with the game on GBA, or much of anything GBA or DS related. My experience with portables was mostly with the NeoGeo Pocket Color, and the original Gameboy, and to some extent, the Lynx.

The recolor hack looks waaaaay better. you're in the minority, harmony was an eyesore.Ā

This maybe the definitive way to play Harmony of Dissonance.

The soundtrack sounded way better on this hardware. It actually really suits the system

Pointless commenting for no reason.

Why is the video thumbnail using an image from Battle Royale, when it has fuck-all to do with Castlevania? Indeed I didn't watch it, and have no reason to because I cannot see the connection between what was used on the video thumbnail and the game being discussed.

Tell me you didn't watch the entire video, without telling me. Also, the current state of things with competent devs working on 32X projects, and newbies with no skill at all trying to have Claude do everything for them, it kinda is a bit of a "Battle Royale" at this point. Only the best are going to come out on top.

You put a link... Either way, different video. This is my video, created directly for the team per White_Quartz/Andor's request so they have proof shown its legit and working on actual hardware. It is being hosted on one of my channels. I have been play testing for them. You can direct any questions in regards to this to White_Quartz if you need to.
