First of all this my first post here, I'd like to say g'day to you all. Secondly, I'm currently having issues playing cave story + on the retro arch emulator, yes I do own the game through humble bundle and yes, i have jail broke my iPad 4 so I could run cave story plus, anyway, my nxengine emulator crashes when I run .exe of the download, why is that? Please may I have some help on this. Oh and if I have posted this in the wrong place, please forgive me.

cheers,
Knight Raider :)

I thought iOS devices couldn't run Windows executables even when jailbroken

Trust me, you aren't missing out on anything by playing the "Plus" version over the free version. But I don't see why it couldn't run it if it can run freeware Cave Story...

Because:
NXEngine doesn't understand what to do with .bmp files.
NXEngine doesn't understand .ogg files.
NXEngine doesn't understand CS+'s save format.
NXEngine doesn't understand CS+'s mod (extra modes and challenges) format.
NXEngine doesn't understand CS+'s 2xRes graphics.
NXEngine doesn't understand CS+'s directory structure.
NXEngine doesn't understand CS+'s new menus.
NXEngine doesn't understand where to find CS+'s fonts.
NXEngine doesn't understand CS+'s executable's binary structure.
NXEngine doesn't understand why the music isn't in the exe.
NXEngine doesn't understand why the sound effects aren't in the exe.
NXEngine doesn't understand why the credit art isn't in the exe.
NXEngine doesn't understand where to find CS+'s mapdata.
NXEngine doesn't understand where to find CS+'s weapon data.
NXEngine doesn't understand where to find CS+'s non-existent title screen map.
NXEngine doesn't understand where to find CS+'s starting map.
NXEngine doesn't understand where to find CS+'s starting event.
NXEngine doesn't understand where to find CS+'s starting position and facing.
NXEngine doesn't understand where to find CS+'s starting health.

NXEngine doesn't understand CS+, period, because it wasn't written to. Plus if it was written to then they would likely be sued.

Want CS+ on the go? Get a 3DS.

It is confusing that it knows what to do with the freeware version but not + though.
Oh well.

Not really.


There isn't a reason why you should even begin to think that CS+ is anything similar to CS if you understand what a remake/overhaul is.

No I mean with the orgs and that. Does CS handle them in a way different to CS+ that makes it difficult to read for these emulators?

The fact that the music isn't made in .org format helps a bit

Tbh the only thing you're missing with CS+ is....
*Enhanced graphics
*Wind Fortress
*Different music
*Bubbler is now the Bubbline

Also, andywhyisit mentioned 3DS version

Oh, and, welcome to the forumns!
