Was GBA really that much of a failure?
Also old PC games general
Modern TVs are below 1 frame input lag. CRTs are an aesthetic choice now. The choice is that you want to play the games in the same way the developer expected them to be played, on the same kind of display people played the game on when it came out- Or even what you yourself played it on.
No one played games on a PVM with razor sharp pixels and scan lines. In the discussion of an authentic experience, I don't see how it's any more authentic than playing on a flat screen TV with a lagless converter. You're still using technology no one played games on until a few years ago, it just happens to be technology that's older than that application

previous thread >>7828978
This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories
why exactly?

Previous Thread: >>7859452
It gets to me sometimes
Pokemon is not a good series, not then, not now.
If anyone else tried to pull the shit they did under another name, the reviewers would go after them
with such further they would have been obliterated around the third gen where it was clearly evident
>invisible stats dictate the meta game
One has to constantly breed over and over to get the right ivs/natures and fight one type of enemy to get the right
EVS. To top that off, one has to repeat this process 6-30 to have a viable roster, no one should have to do that in order to get some good battles.
>Every human character has the personality of a wet towel
Don't deny this, none of these character stand out whatsoever, it's so bad that fans are mostly going off of made up head cannon and bs non existent lore
>Lack luster graphics
The first two gens were excusable given the hardware and the fact that gen 1 had some really tight constraints
but afterward, not so much.
They had static sprites in the 3rd gen till 5th while the competition had fully animated over-world and battle sprites.
To add insult to injury another developer at a studio of the same caliber produced several games with all Pokemon at the time
with full battle animations, overworld sprites, and better overworld buildings.
>3D wise they recycled the same models from N64 till Wii, and more recently reused the same models since 2010.
Imagine if Mario,Link or any other series did that, people would be calling for heads on pikes!
>It's been the same game since 1996
It's just a bunch of patches each and every game. It's never a full overall.
Honestly there is nothing good about this rot, greater game studios have fallen, yet game freak lives on.
Alpha Dream got shut down last month.
Fan artist, and fan programmers have made better games with better premises than the main series
THAT'S FUCKING EMBRASSING!
Has there every been a better final fantasy made by fans?
Better Zelda?
Better star ocean?
Better Mario rpg
Better Mana?
Current favorite game(s).

I have a gamecube. I have a gameboy player adapter for it. I have a rom for metroid zero mission on my computer. I do not have a metroid zero mission cartridge. How do I get the metroid zero mission rom in a form I can slap in my game boy player? I want to play the game on the actual hardware on my tv but I don't want to pay 100 bucks on ebay for the zero mission cartridge.

I know games like roguelikes, very early windows games and strategy games are like this, but do have any more examples?
I'm starting with this one from Mega Man 8, second half of Frost Man's stage. I like the contrast between the bustling city in the background with the snowy calmness of the foreground. Some soft lights also give a very comfy air.

What would the retro equivalent be? I'm thinking this, Gunstar Heroes, Contra 3 and 4... what else you guys put in this category?
I'm looking for fast paced action games that give the player some freedom for self expression.

Is it safe to connect the CD audio cable coming from the optical drive to two sound cards? I have one for DOS and one for Windows, my cable already had the two connectors, white and black, and I use the black with the PCI card and the white with the ISA card.
Had soulful stages; character art; music; Atmosphere; Announcer; character; Select
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Screens have moving font with the character name like 7 times; Announcer annoying and won't shup up; Most Of the character additions are horrible specially the over use SFII characters. Terrible stages and music just an overall annoying experience.

If anyone wants to suggest things to include in the next OP, please do. We've ditched the trainers because
Oh and general obscure game thread I guess
fuck you if you think this is the best beat em up
I feel like I'm in peace, and not just for games I played, also for ones I didn't, which I then plan to play
I get none of that vibe on most of the new games
Which I call soulless and I feel many players nowadays don't understand what I mean when I say that
I often refer to them as having different tastes or just plain bad taste when they find an ugly soulless game "pretty"
Is it me?
Is that a bias?
Is that because I'm getting older?
or does retro games truly have this vibe that can only exist when the graphics are exactly like they were during the 90s/early 00s?
I'm tempted to think the later
This is not nostalgia because if it was the case I would label as "good" every old games I played, which I'm not

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark fags need not apply. Even Halo CE is trash compares to this series. Timesplitters is so fucking good it's ridiculous, and if you haven't played these games you're doing yourself a huge disservice.
>inb4 muh console shooter
If you can't adequatly play a shooter with a controller, you aren't good at video games. I say this as someone who has played Quake 3 competitively for 20 years. Don't blame your tools.
I recently discovered it, tried on DSiXL and i think it's one of the best way to play gba games.
You have a big , backlit, 1:1 pixel perfect screen and very little input lag added (compared to emulators).
Sometimes accuracy is not the best and can produce funny results as in this webm: on original hw the game slows down during the explosion.
If you are looking for a GBA IPS mod and have a DSI lying around, i suggest to give it a shot first.
I'll start with Ramaya

The graphics and sound are really nice and all, but it's really not as good as Super Mario 64.
