Yule Log 2 Yule Harder

What is the greatest Christmas movie ever? Die Hard. 

So I made a Home Alone scene for the PS1, Merry Christmas ya filty animals <3

You can run this on actual hardware as well as in an Emulator (DuckStation).

(note; I opted for no audio this year, making the filesize dramatically smaller, as well as allowing you to put your own tunes on - because for obvious copyright reasons I am not allowed to add a 24 hour loop of a horrible midi rendition of "All I want  for Xmas" by Tina Tuner... I know, lame right)

Don't forget the Konami code! -OX

Update v1.1:
- Updated graphical errors in the House model
- Controls update:
   - Pressing Start freezes the frame, so you can keep it static on a specific shot
   - Pressing Select skips the current shot, and fades to the next (random) one
   - Pressing X will emit sparks from the fireplace (like the original did)

Why? 

I made a simple Yule Log last year, and wanted to have an updated one that shows off all the progress I have made in the past year learning how to work with the PS1.

The goal was to have something eye-catching yet cozy that can run in the background during your Holiday celebrations!

Install?

Simply choose the right region for your console, and either run it from an xStation, or burn it to CD and use a modchip or swap-trick (comes as .cue/.iso file in the zip).

If you don't have either of these, you can use any PS1 Emulator to run the game from too (YMMV, Duckstation is the only one I tested).

No Playstation?

No worries, I have just uploaded a 1hr video you can run on your TV as well to get (almost) the same effect!
