Had a lot more trouble trying to get through Stage 3 than I ever did with Stage 4, looking forward to the PSP set. I Gotta Believe!
other than that, it's like others said: "feeling" the rhythm is more important than watching the visual cues. the visual cues don't function quite like you'd expect from other rhythm games.
I'll mess around with some emu settings. I'm not a stranger to rhythm games, and I'm pretty decent at them (Not a savant by any means, but I'm pretty decent) but I'll try what you suggest and try those other games first and see if I have better success.
I played the original Project Diva for the first time (PSP one) recently and was able to pass all but one song on the hardest difficulty if that gives you any indication of skill level (Not the hardest game in the world, but it was emulated, and I didn't have issues with timing is the point I'm trying to make)
I haven't personally noticed a difference between emulation and actual hardware when it comes to gameplay, but you know how it is with tech troubleshooting; my setup and the next guy's aren't gonna be the same, haha.
If it makes you feel any better @CasperRaine, I am big rhythm game player, but when I come back to Parappa 1, I usually end up having to retry the later stages. The game feel is very different, owing primarily to the fact that it is one of, if not the first rhythm game as we know it. It's definitely not just you.
I'm just now gonna try to do this stage on mute and see what happens
Songs are still bangers almost 30 years later though, that is undeniable.
This is an amazing game, but it is pretty hard.
You need to have a good sense of rhythm to score.
