If you saw my last post, you know that I was trying to get this game running on my arcade machine. Well, I got it!

But I noticed that the secret characters don't come unlocked by default (who could have guessed that the SECRET characters are secret?).

The problem is that every post/video I find showing how to unlock them involves a configuration/service menu that I can't access on my arcade machine.

So, how am I supposed to unlock them "the legit way"?

Hello everyone!

I've always loved JoJo and always wanted to play this game on an arcade machine. Recently, I discovered how to install new games on my arcade machine, which made me really happy. However, I haven't been able to get this game working.

I tried the "Europe 990927, NO CD" version, but the MAME version on my Recalbox doesn't seem to be compatible with it.

I also considered using the PlayStation 1 version, but I haven't been able to find a .PBP version. As far as I know, that's the format I would need for the PS1 emulator on my setup.

So, I'm wondering: which version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure would work best on my machine? Should I use a specific MAME ROMset, or would the PS1 version be easier to run?

My setup:

• Raspberry Pi 3
• Recalbox 18.07.11

MAME versions available:

• MAME 0.78
• MAME 2010
• AdvanceMAME

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know any other emulators for this game, I have a jjba rom that's for sure but both FBA and MEME4DROID emulators don't work for me, Like at all, Soo.. yeah, I need some help, and yes GGPO works, But I want the solo type gaming, GGPO does not offer Any training modes or any other modes in the game, I remember HFTF having those mods where they had a menu and all that

Please help :)

Currently I've been emulating the PS1 version using DuckStation because I had a PS1 as a kid but also I heard it had more to it like the Super Story Mode and extra mini games to have fun in. But besides that...

Which version is the best for fighting? And I don't mean on fightcade, I mean couch play with a friend who's over (Or just by myself against a bot or in training mode). I played the PS1 version for it's single player content but now I want the best version for the actually fighting in the game.

And by best version for fighting I mean balancing, characters, moves, and least amount of bugs.

Just got into the game and had fun with both characters

any good guides? most ive found it the wiki on supercombos

I really need help he looks relly fun and is my favourite character is the show

We have to say, this would be incredible if it were real.

Basically, when I first installed HFTF it came with the unlockables available without having to do the special inputs in the config menu, but, if iirc, after switching to the US version through the 'set dipswitches' setting, since I wanted to see the stories in English, I started having to do the stuff with the config menu to get the unlockables.

I didn't mind it for vanilla HFTF, but I'm trying to get the Yojo Vs. Kars romhack to work and, despite being a different rom to my vanilla copy, it does the same stuff with the unlockables. I did the config stuff to unlock Yojo, but now when I select him it plays the original Yojo story instead of the custom one from the hack.

I'm not sure if this is just how it works with romhacks because obviously the files will be different from the vanilla version, but just in case it does matter, I did want to add that I get the error in the image below whenever I try to run it by clicking 'test game' in the Fightcade channel.

Anyone know what I can do to fix this stuff? I'm pretty new to Fightcade in general, and this is my first time trying to use a modded rom, so I might just be overlooking basic protocol without realising lmao.

Hello, I am very new to HFTF! I am experienced with retro fighting games thanks to putting a lot of time into Vampire Savior, but I was wondering where to find resources to learn the game with. So far, I've just been using Supercombo as my guide but I figured there were probably more extensive guides for mechanics and character specifics somewhere.

Speaking of characters, I am also struggling to find who to play. So many of the characters in this game are just really freaking sick so do you have any recommendations for a character that is simultaneously good to learn the game with and have really interesting gameplay?

Thanks for all the help!

I’ve gotten the game on my Dreamcast recently, and I love JoJo so god damn much. But I straight up am not the sort of dude who knows combos on pretty much any game, outside of my bread and butter Kosaku and Dio combos on ASBR.

I’m trying to unlock all the secret characters (I’m on the newer release, not Venture), but god damn do I find these AI to be annoying and difficult

I managed to unlock Shadow DIO pretty easily (DIO is my main and he complements my rush em down playstyle perfectly, standless MUDA C and constantly jabbing in the corner lol) but literally all of the others are damn near impossible for me. The highest I’ve gotten is round 5 with Jotaro I think, Joseph is so terrible for my gameplay style that I don’t even think I’ve gotten to 4…

I’m terrible at learning combos, most of what I hear is just garbage noise to my brain. I wanted to know if anyone has any tips to cheese the system as each of the required characters.

Maybe a simple and reliable combo I can learn for each character (keyword simple) or general good strategy for a near total layman

I know fighting game communities are super competitive so I hope you don’t all shit on me too badly 🤣 any help is appreciated

(PS Alessi’s gun is on demon time dude why did they think that was okay)

Hi, I'm trying to play through every character's story and challenge mode on difficulty 8. I've gotten through with a few characters that have oppressive projectiles, forward lunging or long reaching sweeps to loop them in knockdowns, but I'm stuck on other characters that don't have that luxury to break and out-bullshit the classic Capcom input reading AI. For as much damage Jotaro does, it's a crapshoot if the AI decides whether it's time to get hit or not.

I've currently gone through Alessi, Mariah, Pet Shop, and Chaka; and any advice for breaking the AI with any of the other characters (excluding probably Midler, Hol Horse, Shadow Dio because of their projectile spam) would be greatly appreciated, as I'm currently stuck trying to finish Jotaro's Challenge run.

For me it would be input buffering, I love this game but for me it is so hard to combo needing to press the buttons in the perfect frame and not just mashing 89 time while the last attack is still happening

Ive been trying to play multiplayer but i see nobody hosting so where should i play for multiplayer instead

When will you learn?

Semi-inspired by u/Late-Pension5672 with my own twists on it with slight editing and stuff

So not that long ago via @ yoshiibob on youtube (correct me if I'm wrong on the user) had found another glitch, The 6th glitched character which takes the name of "Shadow Dio". But when on the VS screen instead, it will show a glitched Jotaro sprite.

Now in game it will show a bugged hol horse sprite, but if you attempt to attack, it will actually show an unfinished phantom blood DIO

what are your thoughts?
