The katakana used is オカリナ and that's pronounced Oh-cah-ri-nah, so it's what is used. If it was supposed to be Ah-carina they would have used アカリナ. O in Japanese makes an "Oh" sound, so it's fair to reason that the correct pronounciation would be "Oh-cah-ri-nah."
Katakana doesn't lie people!

>Try to keep things /vr/ related: Focus should be on 5th Gen (+Dreamcast) games on back. Slight off topic is fine so long as it's related to CRTs, such as later 16:9 models, HD models, etc. Systems with backwards compatibility are also safe territory, as are re-releases on newer hardware. PC CRTs are also welcome and appreciated.
>Produce OC! Bust out your camera and take photos of your CRTs displaying all sorts of games, featuring all sorts of tubes, using all sorts of signals. Getting good shots can be hard, but if you take enough, at least a few will turn out alright. Tips'n'Tricks™ coming soon™.

>Share appreciation for other's choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. Always remember to show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Limited discussion of video processing and scaling devices is alright, but remember to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories.

For me I've always wanted to make View To A Kill 64 or License To Kill 64. I have downloaded the engine to do so and looked up youtube tutorials and I just can't get my head around it.
What about the rest of you? What have you wanted to make or dreamed of?
Also what are your favorite Rom Hacks? For me its Goldefinger 64
What kind of Japanese do I need to learn for retro games? How long will it take me to be fluent enough to play games? What are the best games that are untranslated or don't have acceptable fan translations?
Pic related.
God I wish this was opensource, seems like such a simple board.
It is me, or is Breath of Fire just... kinda ass? Or does it get better later on? I just had Nina officially join the party after I rescued her, and so far there isn't any thought to the gameplay, you just mash attack and use heal items when you need to be healed. Does it get more complex later on? Or does it remain a mechanically uninteresting vehicle to tell a shallow story?
Not trying to hate on the game, it's just that I'm not sure I'm much of an RPG guy, and maybe these games just aren't for me.
Compare him to Ryu. Ryu is easy to pick up, he has iconic moves that each have a clear purpose, he fits in well with the kind of game that Street Fighter 2 is supposed to be, and most importantly he is strong.
Then you look at Alex and he makes no sense. He's not an all rounder like Ryu, he's gotta fight up close like Zangief or Hugo. But he isn't actually good at fighting up close like those two are, and he doesn't have an easier time getting in on people, he's just punished for not doing these things. He has moves that are easy to do, but difficult to connect with and don't have clear applications. He doesn't showcase SF3's system like Ryu did with 2: he has a lot of big slow moves which means that not only are his attacks are easy to parry, but he also has a difficult time taking advantage of parries himself. He's not a good showcase of the Super Art system since 2/3rds of his supers are bad to the point of being unusable. Street Fighter 3 puts a bigger emphasis on normals, yet his normals are mediocre. He doesn't even have a target combo.
It's like Capcom came up with a cool design but then forgot to make his gameplay appealing in any way.

I've been using pic related for more than a month and absolutely nothing happened to my SNES
I think that all of you are krikkz cocksuckers who only want people to buy one of their overpriced crap when you can get this for less than 30 bucks
Granted, not every game runs and it takes a while to load the bigger games, but considering a krikkz everdrive without even a damn DSP1 chip is over $90, I think I made the correct choice
I took a knife and made incisions on the rubber pads near the base of each plunger; one at every cardinal. The L and R plungers were quite a but bigger so I cut out entire squares instead. It was fairly simple and testing as I went they definitely felt easier to depress. I put it back together and fucking wow, it's a massive difference. It's still not quite OEM level (nothing will fix the cheaper plastics), but the stiffness is near entirely gone. I can roll the dpad without any effort, the buttons require hardly any force, it's more than useable now.
So if anyone happens to have some shitty stiff controls I highly recommend giving this a try, especially if you dont have any OEM controllers at all. This simple fix turns a 10 dollar controller into a 30 dollar one
Give me the best and where to get them
Also Saga thread.
Personally, I think the music is really good (well the Dr. Jekyll parts at least).
Bit disappointed how short Blue Shift was so I went looking for mods. Downloading Paranoia and Decay now. Any thoughts on either of these or mod suggestions

I made the terrible mistake of buying an 8bitdo SF30, and it makes me want to drive sticks into my eyes. It's *almost* a great controller, but I greatly underestimated how bad the d-pad diagonal issue was going to be--the fixes out there only marginally help.
I've heard good things about the Hori Pokken Tournament controller, but I'd like to hear some other recommendations.

New sub from GooseCanyon is Die Hard Arcade from the USA DVD.
Next raw episode on December 19 is something from Konami.
Also Phantasy star thread.
Z:LA (the original GB version) is my favorite retro game of all time, ZOoS and ZOoA close behind. How disappointed will I be with the new remake? I can clear the original game in under 5 hours -- not sure $60 is worth it for a 5 hour game.
Are there more games like this one for Genesis or other systems?
Resource gathering / exploration / space travel
I loved it.

That thrill of discovering secrets through trial and error is something that I've been missing my whole life; only Metroid and The Legend of Zelda have ever been able to scratch this itch. Cave Story came close--I'd be lying if I said part of Metroid's appeal for me wasn't the whole underground labyrinth aspect of it all--but I really want something where I can spend hours digging into every nook and cranny and be rewarded occasionally. Does such a /vr/ game exist outside of Metroid and Zelda or am I SOL?
Looking for others.

I don’t play many fighters or shoot-em-ups, but I’m open to good ones. Point-and-click, RPGs and sports games are really the only genres I actively avoid.
I have a bunch of gaame and console doubles i wanna get rid off, but i dont wanna go to the flea market only to have a bunch of fucking imbeciles offering $10 for my complete Snes and N64.
My local Offerup and Craigslist are loaded with resellers that have dozens of ads, Facebook Marketplace is unusable since they implemented that "promote ad" BS. hardly anyone sees my ads.
But I wanted to talk specifically about the Aecension mod, which I used for ToB. What is everyone's thoughts on it? I was able to beat every battle, including the final battle, oddly, without lowering the difficulty.
But the Abizagail battle was so fucking hard I had to lower it to easy, and the Demogorgan was so hard I couldn't even beat it on easy and had to uninstall that part of the mod.

I'm enjoying Dangerous, but it's not retro.
Are there any quality of life patches or sourceports I should play them with or are the gog versions the best i can hope for?
The problem is, when I launch a game via Steam, there’s no good way to get back out of the game while using authentic controllers. The best I can do is invoke the RetroArch quick menu and close the game, which drops me not to Steam, but to the RetroArch main menu. From there, I have to manually exit RA as one does. I know how this works, because I set it up, but it’s going to be unusably confusing to anyone who doesn’t have context.
For consistency, I could use Steam to handle the exiting of games, except original controllers don’t have guide buttons, and there’s no way to create one without sacrificing a button, which, on something like a SNES controller, is a total no-go. Steam doesn’t appear to want to listen for a combination of multiple buttons or anything like that.
I could use Autohotkey, but the problem I foresee there is that AHK-based solutions are unlikely to cleanly and consistently apply across a wide variety of controllers (original controller for each platform), assuming I can get it to respond consistently to controllers at all.
Finally, I could just keep a keyboard around, but having an entire keyboard present and within arm’s reach on my couch at all times for the sole purpose of exiting a game seems very stupid.
Am I being unreasonable here? Are any of you doing something similar? Have you solved this problem? I’d love to know what you did.

Which of the main series games (I think 1 -5?) are still "fun" to play? Which have aged like burnt turds?
![maxresdefault[1]](https://i.4cdn.org/vr/1575921686288s.jpg)
I'm on my second month of subscription. I tried playing some free shards but realized they are all broken and unbalanced compared to official shards so went back to the official.
The game itself though is nothing but a massive grind, the only reason Im playing is that i've fallen for the sunk cost fallacy and can't stop.
Also, if you don't include space as a matter to consider, back in the 1990s which mediums would you choose to store pirate games? Floppy disks? Don't they deteriorate over time?
