This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".Helpful links:Game Tech WikiEmulation General Wiki
>>10886449That’s not Tharcia 776.
>>10886473Nope, fire emblem is overrated as fuck
>>10886449The way RPG fags can never agree on what's supposed to be good about gameplay systems is good enough reason to not bother.
>>10886476it's not an rpg, it's a trpgin fact it does away with most of the real rpg elements and is more strictly a tg really
is picrel worth it?
>>10886479neither
>>10886479analogue shit is the definition of forced soulyou're a serious goy if you buy it
Define worth it? You probably won't notice a significant difference between this and a $50 chinkheld. The screen is gorgeous and I use mine a lot but you are paying like 6x the price for what? a 10% improvement?
Could going with an x86 processor save the Amiga?
>>10884815Having to use the 68000 ruined the entirety of Amiga.
>>10884507Nope.The Amiga was a nice system because of its custom chips for graphics and sound.Commodore did not invest in upgrading those chips, instead they fucked over the engineers and went with laughable stop gaps.What are you gonna do with a fast cpu, when your custom chips are still from 1984, just upgraded to use more ram and colors? Not much, is what.What if you put in a fast x86 CPU, a graphics card and a sound card? Might as well use a PC then.A nice all-in-one system with hardware-accelerated graphics and good sound built in, that could compete with the PC in the 90s? That could have worked.But that didn't happen. The Amiga was a mid-80s computer and it was good at that.Then Commodore missed the bus going into the 90s. And that's all she told.
>>10884507all the engineers that made the amiga great were already left or got fired after the amiga 500commodore died because it was just run by out of touch businessmen whose big idea to save the amiga was the cd32
I've wondered how Amiga would have fared if Tramiel's Atari had gotten the tech. My belief is it would have been more successful. The ST form factor and price at the time made for a more successful system, it had a ton of games and was targeted by publishers, it was way more affordable than the Amiga 1000 too. While the AmigaOS was nice, there was little commercial value to it at the time and those who were after workstation OS were buying Unix.So in my alternate universe, Atari launches the Amiga based ST with GEM-based OS. Commodore manages to get out their Unix workstation but like everyone else they make their money from PC clones.
>>10885839AKA: Amiga 500, but released in 1985? That would have made it more popular. Not a C64 Killer, but maybe closer; like eight to ten million units sold, intead of five.Now imagine, the engineers got their wish and updgraded the custom chips according to plan: small steps in 1987/1988 = AGA chipset, big steps in 1991/1992 = AAA chipset. It would have murdered the early 5th gen likes of 3DO and Jaguar.But then the Playstation and 3d accelarators on PC would have steamrolled it anyway. I would give the best case scenario an extended life expectancy of 2-4 years and double sales for the Amiga. But it wouldn't have changed its fate.

Umihara Fresh is currently 4 bucks (-92%) on Steam, buy it. it's not so bad as people say
>>10886495oh sorry not retro, i thought i was on /v/
>>10886495Do people think Fresh is bad? I was initially mad at the mission and story shit, but it's still a fun game. Mind you, I do like the old ones better.
>>10886495Dora the Explorer?
>>10886507Umihara Kawase
I'm looking all over for it but I cannot find it. It is scrubbed off the internet. It would be amazing to actually find it again.
qrd?
>>10886482first off, aware /vr/ on why this version is sought after
hi guys, thanks for both of your replies. possibly i cannot convince you to go on a hunt for this copy, but i will explain, that back in 2001 there was a cracker/warez group named KALISTO and they released this way back on release day for GTA 3, the very day. they were pro in what they did.how they did it though is very intriguing, they removed some radio stations off the game and squished them in other stations, and removed a lot of clutter files to put the entire game on a CD. its so effing awesome, i just wish i could get my hands on an ISO of it. not even a disc, just an iso for the pcsx2 emulator.again, i probably cannot convince anyone, its a big deal for me because of what it was at the time and still is. it means a lot to me, i wish i could find it. it matters a ton
How come some Xstations are $300 and others are $800?
>>10884036He probably doesn't want to destroy his toys like you do. You make it more obvious that you're a low skill pseud.
>guy advertises a solderless xstation in the works over a year ago>people ask about an update>"lmao sowwy I am busy working on xstation updates so no mstation till then teehee buy xstation :3"Guy is acting like a faggot like the PSIO guy in regards to never finishing something.
>>10883912Yes, no taxes to be paid too
>>10883709>doesn't know about the retro collector's marketkek do you donate everything to GameStop and then bitch you got $5 for it?
>>10885674the boomers on FB marketplace are the ones you find good deals from, not the ones you sell to
So here's the problem /vr/. I want to play Secret of Evermore, but I found out there's a bunch of bugs with it. There's fixes for it, which I got from here http://assassin17.brinkster.net/soe_patches.htm to IPS patch myself. Problem is doing more than one of these to the same rom causes Snes9x to crash immediately after the Squaresoft intro ends, without fail. So I looked up and found this site https://greg-kennedy.com/SecretOfEvermore/index.php here. When I use the .sfc for the Secret of Evermore (USA) on this site, it says this>Error patching the uploaded file.>Exceeded filesize limit (expected 3145728 or 3146240 bytes).>Please return to the index and try again.However, when I go to right click -> properties check the .sfc file, it says>3.00 MB (3,145,728 bytes)I have no idea what the fuck is going on. I'm using the USA rom from vimm. Fails. I'm using the rom from CDRomance. Fails. I'm using the rom from wowroms. Fails. I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing wrong; can somebody please help me? I want to fucking play this game but this shit keeps failing me no matter what
>>10886035But the game unpatched is technically easier because of the infinite strong ammo for the Bazooka.
>>10886031Yes, retard>>10886043>download a rom that has already been patchedCannot find one with all the bugfixes patched into it miraculously>patch from a different sourceThis is the ONLY source for these bugfixes>(zsnes, maybe)I'll grab it and try it next time>different program to apply the patchWhat besides Lunar IPS?>play the game with the bugsLast resort
Sounds like some of those patches may not be compatible with each others.
>>10886023>I want to play Secret of Evermore, but I found out there's a bunch of bugs with it.Kids back in the day didn't find that out, for the most part, because the bugs aren't very important. Just play the game normally. It's fine. It isn't going to lock up midway through. The most broken thing about this game by far is that the developers rushed the last part of it. Unless you somehow find a patch to fix that, you needn't bother with patches.
Well I just told you not to bother with the patches but then I went ahead and tried it myself on that site. I got the same error:>Error patching the uploaded file.>Exceeded filesize limit (expected 3145728 or 3146240 bytes).>Please return to the index and try again.Like your file, mine has what seems to be the right size. I also went ahead and checked the hashes given by the site:>CRC-32 a5c0045e>MD5 6e9c94511d04fac6e0a1e582c170be3a>SHA-1 79e7738630fff5699217ef58ecc421bc8fcbcd89My file matches all three perfectly.Tentative conclusion: The site is busted.
Been a while since we had one of these threads. Share your GOODest shader presets and screenshots.If I see that fucking waterfall one more time...
>>10885409One tip: try increasing Gamma Correct to 1.5 or 1.6. It should boost brightness up a bit and make the darker color elements more visible.
>>10884882I like it with some film grain. It works well with these survival, giving some horror movie atmosphere. Prepend this one before another preset and it works as expected:https : // github.com/libretro/slang-shaders/blob/master/film/film-grain.slangp
>>10885420A bit dark, but otherwise nice. What shader?
QuackShot is a classic, still pretty fun. Unfortunately, it relies a bit too much on tricky level designs. Nothing that you can't overcome after you see it for the first time, but still annoying nonetheless. Shader is crt-easymode.
>>10867842royale is extremely pretty though
played final fantasy 7 and no shit this was treated like it the second coming when it came outthe music is so good, the characters are very distinct, the story is literal insanity blowing my mind watching the northern crater fuckery go down, tifa and cloud exploring cloud's mind in this abstract as shit segment never something I would have expected from an rpg from the 90sand the gameplay is this great tried and true lego playset snapping orbs from one character to the next messing around constantly experimenting so much side content too with meaningful rewards this shit? GOODprotagonist was in a damn wheelchair and still captivated me more than most other game characters
FFVIII is better in every way possible
>>10886469If you’re a gay emo lmao. I can appreciate something about every FF except for 8.
Which one was your favorite, /vr/?
>>10878891It's a fun game calling it, among anything, a "zelda killer" is simply ridiculous.I'm sorry but you can't compare a linear gauntlet game to the exploration and backtracking offered by any typical Zelda.
>>10885423>seethes>copesIf you don't know enough japanese that you can't adequately use it as a supplementary tool, what are you doing with your life?Peasants like you shouldn't be catered to.
>>10885423If one is so lost he needs things like "buy" and "sell" to be translated he's not worthy and should stick to telling himself that "if the game wasn't released for me in my country that means it's shit". Menus can be learnt, the important things are the dialogues, and in the case of what's shown in that video most fan translations wouldn't have done that better.
>>10886350>>10886404It's such a basic thing there's no excuse for fucking that up.
>>10886481Actually it's just getting confused by the cursor coupled with how close to each others the lines are. If I move the cursor down I'm getting "BUY AND SELL"

>>10884241lmfao what a faggot
>>10884241Ignore that gay guy that first replied to you. Someone here will help you with this, anon (I don't know much about DC file formats, so I can't, unfortunately). Thank you for sharing.
>>10885105>Thank you for sharing.No sharing was done, my little circle jerker. He couldn't even share the name of this super secret L@@K R@RE game. lmfao. Converting from cdi to gdi is generally very easy, and if he had shared he'd have his GDI. But he chose to be a faggot, so doesn't.
>>10884684Learning how to write basic assembly for the target platform is a good place to start, at least for older systems (in my opinion). You could spend hours messing with script injection tools (cartographer, atlas, etc.) or poking around in a debugger, but it will be hard to process what's happening without being able to read the code.But no matter your approach, it's probably best to find a game you're interested in and stick with that. Translating a game can be pretty brutal, so you're gonna need all the help you can get to stay motivated.
>>10884684>Not sure where to start?Become fluent in the languages you want to translate to/from. Come back in 9001 years when you have achieved this to receive the next step.
Is there any other official version of this that runs at 60fps? Arcade original is 30fps.The arranged soundtrack is super good.I like playing on extra easy because I’m a gay faggot. I didn’t like this kind of sunny happy Sega game when I was younger, but now I realize the real world necessitates games like this.
>>10886474>Is there any other official version of this that runs at 60fps?I believe the Switch port runs at 60fps. Unofficially there's also Cannonball.
The Game Boy Advances are exactly the same software-wise, right? Is there anything the SP or micro can play that the original can't?
>>10885513>>10886304https://web.archive.org/web/20160310055453/https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#megamanThe game is actually playable, it just has slowdowns in a certain section of the game that is fixed by just moving to the next area.
>>10879387Why?
>>10884508that dpad looks grim
>>10879337micro can't play GB/C games
>>10886304>Google is so shit nowadaysTrue>>10886304>I clearly rememberUsually a good indicator of a false memory>talking about flashcart issues on old gbasThere's no shortage of taking. We have that right here. Evidence that conclusions jumped to by luddites are correct is what's lacking.
