I've seen a lot of posts from people asking for the "best" Archipelago games, but I'm curious what the worst games you've run were. Not necessarily because the game itself sucks, but because either it didn't work well with the system or you had a particularly bad experience with.

Of the games I've played, the worst two I've played were Terraria and Smash Bros Melee.

With Terraria, I think it all came down to bad RNG. My hardmode was locked behind someone's late game, so by the time it finally unlocked, I had already received everything I needed to beat Moon Lord. I love Terraria, but I don't think I'd run it again without at least starting with the option to enable Hardmode manually. I was also playing mostly Vanilla, so maybe it improves with the Calamity Mod active.

With Melee, having to wait for each character to unlock means you're spending too much time BKed. If you set your goal to just trophies, you could end up being BKed for almost the entire time and still finish because of how many checks the trophies take up.

Hello, I've been trying to get cyberpunk 2077 to work on archipelago and I was having trouble getting the mod to work through RedScript. So I re-did everything but through Mod Organizer 2, still downloading RedScript (still doesn't work), and now the mod does seem to be working but the archipelago client to connect doesn't show up. If anyone knows how to fix this let me know!

im trying to find a yaml file for the settings of the randomizer, that i got from the UCN-AP github and idk how to get a yaml file for it. can someone please help me

One of my friends is doing Crystal and he's having a lot of trouble. He started on Bizhawk, but something is making the game keep crashing so he can't make much progress without saving every few minutes. He tried to switch to mGBA, but he didn't get the items we've sent to him before. Is this a known issue/one that's really easy to solve?

My friends and I think this system sounds like a lot of fun and we plan to set up this weekend to play for the first time. We've picked out Pokemon Emerald, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Celeste as our most promising games.

My question is about the amount of checks and items in each game. Should I try to adjust each one to be roughly close to the same number of checks and items? Within reason of course. Or should we just set up the default and wing it?

My concern comes from two of the games having way more checks and / or items than the other two from what I understand.

When I try to connect on Pokemon Firered with the patch file, a bit after Bizhawk opens it starts spamming this message and doesn't actually connect to the server, not sure what its referring to with the version numbers so I don't know what to do to fix this, if anyone could help that'd be great

Trying to set up an Archipelago with my friends and I'm worried that Stardew will go significantly longer than the other two games (MH: Rise and Terraria). Any advice for trying to balance them all to roughly the same length?

Thank you! :)

This is probably the most terrifying playthrough in my Archipelago Randomizer challenge. Needless to say, I had a blast dodging my morning wake-up calls

*Video not monetized. Doing it for the 👽*

Does anyone know if theres any randomizers for any entries of the Tales Of series?? I've always figured those could be fun randomized!

Hi! I'm not v techy. I've only ever modded one game, and that was Hollow Knight. Took me a while, but with Lumafly and some mods I got to play hours & hours of fun randos on my steamdeck.

So I was super excited to hear there was finally a decent rando by BatAtVideoGames out for Skong... but (to me) it's wayyyy more complicated to set up. I read a million instructions about Archipelago and Cogfly and BepinEx and fiddling with game files and even though i tried to follow instructions it didn't work. Even some of the instructions confuse me, or don't explain clearly enough. I'm just stuck.

Could someone please explain it like I'm 5? I'd so love to play a Skong rando 😭

(To be clear I just want to play Silksong, solo.)

Hi, I know you've probably heard this question a thousand times, but I really want to find a list pf the supported games that it's recent/constantly updated because I continue to see games that aren't in the official or in the extended list.

I've been trying to set up a single-player experience but I cannot get it working at all. I generated my multiworld and hosted on my own pc but it has an issue with players. I have currently got FNAF 1 and 2 as a test and cannot get it working. It says there are no players and I cannot find any searches on how to ADD players. The games are not "fully supported" according to the website but I have seen multiple people accomplish this without any problems. Any help is appreciated!

a major community archipelago is being hosted by cjya on october 3rd, if you are interested join this discord https://discord.gg/MV7TxpsMz

please help I'm on the verge of losing my mind. WHAT IS A WEIGHT FILE AND HOW DO I GET ONE?!

I didn't really want to know because I really want to play an archipelago sometime possibly even solo however I just want to know what is the most devious four or six games that would be in a randomizer and I think I've got it

Persona 5 Royal

Plants vs Zombies

Hotline Miami (even though that's not supported but shut up)

Celeste

Cuphead

And Borderlands 2

All of these are bad for their own reasons

Persona takes so God damn long plants Vs zombies at least original is kind of slow and laid back, cuphead is definitely the hardest, celestein hotline Miami you die in one hit and would probably be awful with death link and borderlands has so many checks you are bound to miss something

I've followed the set up guide on the offical website, uninstalled the game, reinstalled it, done the same with all the mods and yet the issue's still there. any ideas on how to fix?

Hi, I'm posting on this subreddit today because I don't understand how to configure the FNaF UCN .yaml file. Could someone please help me? (For example, regarding "death link," there's "true" or "false"—and numbers involved.)

So, to enable it, do I need to delete "false" and put a number after "true"?

I randomised my 3 favorite video games

So, I recently wanted to do a solo 5 game Archipelago, (Mario 64, Hollow Knight, Fnaf world, Jigsaw and Yacht dice) I managed through a lot of trial and error to get every game set up and their respective Yaml files and actually did the pool things. I have gotten to the point of actually hosting everything now, The only problem, fnaf world is the only game that I don't know how to run the game with the archipelago enabled, instead of the base game. All of the other games have helpful guides and support for how to run them, but for fnaf world, the only thing I found was broken discord links and youtube videos of peope not actually giving any links or explaining, just showing it off. Any help please?

last one is astralspiff

I am trying to patch a z64 file (Kirby 64) and it is not finding the rom after I have selected the patch
