#Port History

[gear-project]

. . .

Someone asked me a weird question, and I'm not sure I can give a straight answer but... based on what little I understand:

The Nintendo Wii version of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is based on the original PlayStation 2 port of the game.

The Nintendo Switch version of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R is "supposedly" based on the Arcade version of Plus R.

I don't have the precise details on this, so I can't confirm it or not.

All I can say is that the Steam version/PC version of Accent Core Plus R is probably the closest to the Arcade version, even compared to the XBox360 version.

This is largely why it might prove difficult to port Accent Core Plus R to the PlayStation 4/5 at this time... since the PlayStation 3 version of Accent Core Plus R is a "bad port" of the Arcade version... they would likely have to make a port of PlusR from Scratch for PS5 (if they ever decided to).

If anyone has more details on PlusR they could divulge to add to this post, I'd appreciate it... but so far, all I can really say is that Plus R itself is fundamentally an "arcade version" of Accent Core Plus (ACPlus was an "append" to the original PS2 port of the game, but later ported to Arcades in a completely different way).

It took nearly a year to "patch" to the PS3 version of Accent Core Plus to a semi-stable "Plus R" build... so that should give you some idea why the PC version is probably the most stable version in existence.

Prior to ACPlus on the PS2, was the unstable builds of Accent Core, which are famous for the I-No Fortissimo Crash bug, among other issues it had.

Prior to that was GGXX Slash and GG Isuka builds, which were based on Blue Reload, which was based on Red Reload which was based on the original "unpatched" Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival.

GGXX had several "Arcade Naomi ports" based on the games I just listed, but they aren't nearly as big a project as Plus R was to reverse-port.

Again, I have no idea if they will ever port this game to PS4 or PS5... but I have my doubts.

It's also why it's less likely to see a modern port of GGX1.5 or Guilty Gear X Plus on anything beyond Naomi/Atomiswave/PS2 console emulation.

Казино Констанцы.

История казино началась в 1880 году, вскоре после возвращения Добруджанского региона Румынии(тогда оно было деревянным). В 1889 году вследствие сильной грозы, большая часть здания была уничтожена. А в 1890 году началось новое строительство Казино, однако, место расположения было немного изменено. В 1903 году деревянный павильон был признан устаревшим и не отвечающим запросам растущего города.

Строительство каменного казино началось в 1904 году. Однако, первый подрядчик работал слишком медленно, и проект здания передали французскому архитектору Даниэлю Ренару. Тот отказался от румынского традиционного стиля и занялся смешением модных в этот момент стилей.  15 августа  1910 года оно было торжественно открыто в присутст��ии принца Фердинанда.

Здание выполнено в архитектурном стиле "Арт Нуво". В здании были бальный зал (благодаря чему в здании могли проводиться балы, организованные властями муниципалитета), два читальных зала, две игровые комнаты и терраса у моря. Здесь в 1914 году встречали семью русского императора – одну из его дочерей(Ольгу) сватали за румынского принца. Казино работало в режиме 24/7, было хорошо охраняемо и сюда было практически невозможно попасть без разрешения. Во время первой и второй Мировых войн здание служило как госпиталь. К сожалению, оно подверглось сильным бомбовым ударам.

В советское время Казино было восстановлено и использовалось для проведения заседаний местного совета.  В конце 80х было решено вернуть зданию первоначальное предназначение и переоборудовать его обратно в казино. Последний капитальный ремонт здесь был в 1988 году. Поддержание инфраструктуры казино в последние годы стало слишком дорогим, и в 1990 году здание было закрыто. Сейчас некогда великолепное здание с колоннами, мрамором и лепниной заброшено. На его восстановление нужны большие деньги, которых, к сожалению, власти Румынии пока не нашли. Но это не мешает туристам приезжать полюбоваться роскошным дворцом.

Constanta Casino.

The history of the casino began in 1880, shortly after the return of the Dobrogea region to Romania (at that time it was wooden). In 1889, due to a strong thunderstorm, most of the building was destroyed. And in 1890, a new construction of the Casino began, however, the location was slightly changed. In 1903, the wooden pavilion was considered outdated and did not meet the needs of the growing city.

The construction of the stone casino began in 1904. However, the first contractor worked too slowly, and the design of the building was given to the French architect Daniel Renard. He abandoned the traditional Romanian style and began to mix the styles that were fashionable at that time. On August 15, 1910, it was solemnly opened in the presence of Prince Ferdinand.

The building is made in the architectural style of "Art Nouveau". The building had a ballroom (which allowed the building to host balls organized by the municipal authorities), two reading rooms, two game rooms and a terrace by the sea. In 1914, the family of the Russian emperor was met here - one of his daughters (Olga) was wooed by a Romanian prince. The casino was open 24/7, was well guarded and it was almost impossible to get in without permission. During the First and Second World Wars, the building served as a hospital. Unfortunately, it was heavily bombed.

During the Soviet era, the Casino was restored and used for meetings of the local council. In the late 80s, it was decided to return the building to its original purpose and convert it back into a casino. The last major renovation was in 1988. Maintaining the casino infrastructure in recent years has become too expensive, and in 1990 the building was closed. Now the once magnificent building with columns, marble and stucco is abandoned. Its restoration requires a lot of money, which, unfortunately, the Romanian authorities have not yet found. But this does not stop tourists from coming to admire the luxurious palace.

A 2,000-Year-Old Inscription Honoring an Ancient Wrestler Found in Turkey

The inscription is entirely intact, making it the first of its kind discovered in the region.

An inscription honoring the ancient wrestler Kaikilianos has been found in the ancient Turkish port city of Anemurium.

Anemurium is a 600 acres-wide archaeological district, close to the modern city of Anamur. The city dates back to the first century B.C.E when it was founded by the Phoenicians. Anemurium was inhabited consistently until the 7th century C.E as part of the Roman and then Byzantine Empires. The port city was a major settlement, complete with grand public baths, churches, and theaters.

Its position on the southern coast of Turkey made it an important city for trade in and out of Asia and Europe, across both of which Turkey has territory. Excavations have been undertaken in Anemurium since 2018 and the site is one of the region’s most popular tourist attractions.

The 13-line inscription about the wrestler, which was found complete and intact measuring 120 cm (47 inches) by 50 cm (19 inches) and weighing half a ton, is believed to be 2,000 years old. The condition of the inscription makes it the first discovery of its kind for the region. The stone was found in the Harbor Bath where last year a Roman period statue was found. Tekocak said “Just like last year, the Harbor Bath has provided us with significant discoveries.” The discovery suggests that the city was important as more than just a maritime trade centre.

The inscription praises Kaikilianos for having won the second edition of a wrestling competition held in the city every five years. Anemurium may have been a key location for sports in the region, with a palaestra—an ancient wrestling school—among its ruins which would have offered training to ancient athletes. Tekocak posited that “Olympic-level competitions” could have been taking place in the area, saying that the inscription marks a “significant development for us and offers new insights into the athletic culture of ancient Anemurium.”

The inscription is carved into what researchers believe may have been the base of a statue of the athlete, made in honor of the ancient wrestler. Pehlivan said that the wrestling competition won by Kaikilianos is evidence of the vibrancy of the period in the city, and that “awarding athletes who placed in these competitions highlights the value placed on sports.”

The inscription, made in ancient Greek script, gave details about the wrestling competition, even including the name of its organizer. Tekocak told IHA News: “We learned that someone named ‘Flavianus’ organized a competition every five years in his name. In the second of these competitions, ‘Kaikilianos’ won the adult category in wrestling. This athlete not only won a prize but was so significant that an inscription was made in his honor. A statue of the athlete likely once stood atop this inscription, perhaps this athlete competed in other events and won more awards elsewhere”.

This discovery comes after a summer of major archaeological finds in Turkey including huge megaliths, unique millefiori glass panels, and a bronze-age shopping list.
