I can't believe that this is a thing now. They had this weightless, obviously fake Earthbound cart for $60. How does /vr/ feel about this? What can be done about this bullshit? I took more photos if you wanna see
Anyone have any experiences of this stick? Is it good for the £50 or so I'm expecting to pay? Are there better or more modern options I don't know about? Let's talk about some sticks people.

Final Fantasy II Restored, getting a lot of momentum and is getting a beta-test stream by LeviathanMist of RHDN sometime today. http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=29704.msg386509
Need recommendations for games. Preferably "English friendly" but I do want to pick up a visual novel or two.
Also does anybody know how much stuff like this generally runs in Japan?

I was planning on a Voodoo 3 video card but am open to other suggestions. Also a general reminder that Direct X version, drivers, or operating system have nothing to do with determining if a platform is retro, it just depends on if the hardware is pre-2000.
Are flat screen computer monitors bad with geometry like the flat TVs are? Should I get a curved one just to be safe?
>credit feeding in action games
>being overleveled in role-playing games
>looking up the solution in adventure games
Do you think they got better or worse as technology evolved? Were sports games from the early days better or worse than those from the later retro days?
On ResellerBay theres a guy selling 50 screws for 9 dollars but there haa to be something cheaper... any idea?
I've thuroughly cleaned the pins of the cart, and the board looks okay to me, though I am an amateur with this sort of thing.
Some inserts I get a blue screen. Sometimes, I get this purple screen. Sometimes, a blinking blue screen. Sometimes a blinking purple screen.
Do any of you guys know what's wrong with my cartridge?

>actually find it to be well done for its time but could use improvement
>all in all find it a much better direction for the series to go beyond rails
How come they didn't just build on Star Fox 2 post-64?
What is the most idea hardware for a MAME build?
I've done some research and read time and time again that older hardware works perfectly fine, and that any CPU that clocks high with dual core is ideal, but then someone inevitably comes into the conversation screaming that everyone else is wrong and that you need a modern machine. The catch, however, seems to be that the "you need 4+ cores and a solid GPU now" rule only applies to more modern and resource heavy games.
I've repeatedly read that CPU is more important than GPU, except, again, in the case of more modern developments. I've also heard that you want to work with older GPUs that can handle lower, more native resolutions, and that S-Video is a good option to have if you want to interface with TVs.
I've got a couple old PCs and spare parts laying around that fit the bill, but I'm looking for some more advice before I invest the time. Wondering if it's possible to get some suggestions on two types of builds:
- modern, fully capable build
- retro-only build

I also need to reinstall D2 because I haven't tried making a frenzy barb since 1.10 came out and I bet they kick ass now.
Although I also never made a werebear before.
Power leveling an OP artillery sorcerer by staring Hellfire on nightmare and zooming to level 15 sounds good too though. Nothing but nova and immolation spam.
I also like playing Top Gear Rally, Tetrisphere or DK64 to relax, those games are pretty good to have a chill time imo.

I want to play them back to back, but I'm not certain if the Playstation version is worth playing, and what about the Dreamcast?

Did you make it available online?
Was your time wasted?
Did you expect to make money but didnt?
General thoughts on seeing a project through to the end?
I just started playing the first game for the first time and I'm hooked.
The Quadro M4000 is about $200 on ebay, and has performance somewhat analogous to a GTX 970. The M6000 is a little more expensive, and is more like a GTX 980.
If any anon knows that this would not work as I think it would I would like to be corrected.
>announce every step in your plan to the hacker
>"wtf why do you keep meddling in my plan insect"
>announce your central AI is located on the bridge and prevent the hacker from leaving the station in escape pod
>"wtf insect why are you coming up to the bridge to destroy my central AI now"
Why was SHODAN such a retard? Honestly her stupidity hurts the game for me.
No one wants this fucking thing and it's glorious.

Also Game Boy thread.
>On the 18th page of the August 1994 issue of PC engine fans, Shinichi Nakamoto of Hudson asked, "Are polygons necessary?", "Now everything seems to be about polygons.
>The PC-FX developers were not well informed about the 3D hardware competition of the arcades at the time, and regarded PC-FX as an extension of the PC engine that was successful on 2D routes, so we will fight a 2D war with 3DO and Saturn, 3D was never the priority , once the PlayStation was successfully launched NEC started hastily development of the 3D chip.
>In March 1995, Hudson , a platform holder jointly with NEC Home Electronics, announced the release of Tengai Makyou III on the PC-FX. As a result, the sales of FX temporarily increased , but as a result of repeated delays the game was stuck in limbo never to be released.
I ask because I want to play a goblin and you can't so I was thinking of just making a gnome with green skin.
Gee whiz, Mario.
Thoughts?

I know the Wii can but it can't do cycle accurate SNES emulation and they don't still sell them so I'd have to buy a used one.
Are there any video cards still being sold that can do 240p?
Also general Darklands thread I guess.
Other than games that flat out don't work, are there any noticeable glitches due to the PS2 slim's software emulation of PS1?
Can any of them work good on a updated recent tablet? Or do they need more cpu?
Which had the best version?
Can someone red pill me on this distributor? I want to secure complete/registered version of old school DOS games want to make sure that I'm not buying shareware shit.
Is anyone familiar with Friendware? Are their releases complete versions or shareware?
Why is everyone in this community so obsessed with ARM processors?

how does it feel paying premium for discs that work just as great as $1 verbatim/memorix cdrs?
Did my first attempt at fixing a "bricked" genesis cartridge. Did two games, ExMutants and Sonic 3. Worked perfectly on both. Pic is just what it looked like after testing, not after finishing - legs on the resistor are trimmed and flux cleaned. What have you fixed up lately?
This. The fact that the music/sounds are butchered was disappointing enough, but the new script finally caused me to snap. I'm sure this isn't an issue for people who never played the original but its a damn shitshow.

The 4chan Caravan is a score attack competition based around caravan shmups: shooting games that are designed to last 2-5 minutes. The caravan will select a shmup, and for one week, everyone can compete and submit their scores to get themselves on the leaderboards. There's no limit on submissions, so post a score the moment you've got one. Can you claw your way to the top?
For our second edition, we'll be playing Hudson's 1991 Final Soldier for the PC Engine. This was the seventh game in Hudson's annual National Caravan competition, and is the third entry in the Soldier series. We'll use the normal release, which you can get here: https://archive.org/download/2019_06_10_pcengine/NEC%20-%20PC%20Engine%20-%20TurboGrafx%2016%20%2820190610-062703%29/Final%20Soldier%20%28Japan%29%20%28En%29.zip
When you submit your score, post a screenshot of either the time over screen or the high score screen from the main menu to go with it. For convenience's sake, quote the OP and format your post to have the category and score first and then your name, like so:
2 MINUTE
100000 - Anonymous
The current deadline is February 24. Good luck!

Some asshole is selling one of these that i loved as a kid, and since its a cabinet with discrete circuits, it cant be emulated. But the thing is 1000 dollars.
The only titles I ever played on the Master System were Alex Kidd and Sonic 1 at my friend's house over 20 years ago. Give me some hits, /vr/!
So, is there any reason why I'd play the Game Boy version over the DS Remakes? I remember seeing my mate play Gold growing up on a GBC and it looked amazing. I guess I wanna play Heart Gold though on an emulator
Is there any benefit playing the OG versions, or should I just go for the remakes?
Basically the (true) roguelike movement per turn, context-less combat with a focus on positioning. No RTWP or turn-based combat in a different context, I want exactly this but more of it.
Already played all 3 books but it never gets old for me.
I would be happy with a really simple re-release/remaster, let alone a remake or sequel.
>inb4 "dadshit"
My nephew turns six this year and I need some retro vidya for him to play. Games should be more on the easy side and have little to no text.
Supposedly the Kirby games and stuff like Turtles in Time are good examples (or are they?). What else would you recommend?
