The Grinch - Setup Guide

Required Software

  • Archipelago. Please use version 0.6.2 or later for integrated BizHawk support.
  • Legally obtained NTSC Bin ROM file, probably named something like Grinch, The (USA) (En,Fr,Es).bin.
  • CUE files may work, but I have not tested this.
  • BizHawk Version 2.9.1 is supported, but I can't promise if any version is stable or not.
  • The latest grinch.apworld file. You can find this on the Releases page. Put this in your Archipelago/custom_worlds folder.

Configuring BizHawk

Once you have installed BizHawk, open EmuHawk.exe and change the following settings:

  • If you're using BizHawk 2.7 or 2.8, go to Config > Customize. On the Advanced tab, switch the Lua Core from NLua+KopiLua to Lua+LuaInterface, then restart EmuHawk. (If you're using BizHawk 2.9, you can skip this step.)
  • Under Config > Customize, check the "Run in background" option to prevent disconnecting from the client while you're tabbed out of EmuHawk.
  • Under Config > Preferred Cores > PSX, select NymaShock.
  • Open any PlayStation game in EmuHawk and go to Config > Controllers… to configure your inputs. If you can't click Controllers…, it's because you need to load a game first. You may need to invert Sensitivity for the up/down axis to -100%. This can be found under Analog Controls through Config > Controllers…. Depending on your controller, you may also want to tweak the Deadzone. Something like 6% is recommended for a DualShock 4.
  • Consider clearing keybinds in Config > Hotkeys… if you don't intend to use them. Select the keybind and press Esc to clear it.

Generating a Game

  1. Create your options file (YAML). After installing the grinch.apworld file, you can generate a template within the Archipelago Launcher by clicking Generate Template Settings.
  2. Follow the general Archipelago instructions for generating a game.
  3. Open ArchipelagoLauncher.exe
  4. Select "BizHawk Client" in the right-side column. On your first time opening BizHawk Client, you will also be asked to locate EmuHawk.exe in your BizHawk install.

Connect to the Multiserver

Once both the client and the emulator are started, they must be connected. This should happen automatically. However, if the lua script window doesn't appear, then within the emulator click on the "Tools" menu and select "Lua Console". Click the folder button or press Ctrl+O to open a Lua script. Navigate to your Archipelago install folder and open data/lua/connector_bizhawk_generic.lua.

To connect the client to the multiserver simply put <address>:<port> on the text field on top and press enter (if the server uses a password, type in the bottom text field /connect <address>:<port> [password])
