Castlevania Chronicles is a platform video game developed by Konami and originally released for the Sharp X68000 home computer in 1993 as Akumajō Dracula. In 2001, the game was released in all regions on the PlayStation as Castlevania Chronicles with added features, including an Arranged Mode for new players. The original release is sometimes unofficially dubbed "Akumajō Dracula X68000" to differentiate it from other games in the series. It was made available for download via the PlayStation Network as a PSone Classic on December 18, 2008. The game follows the same premise as Castlevania for the Nintendo Entertainment System, where the vampire hunter Simon Belmont must defeat Dracula and save Transylvania. |
There are two components for playing a psx Castlevania Chronicles rom on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software.
The second component is the Castlevania Chronicles rom itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Retroarch, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Castlevania Chronicles rom. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
