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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHcVzwTy3yQDid your community have an inexplicable love for an obscure and obscure game?Pic related, Brazilians have an unexpected appreciation for top gear snes because it showed up on bootleg carts apparently.
>>7656814Brazilians are delusional retards with low IQ so it doesn't matters.
>>7656814I love the music in this game.
>>7656814When I lived in Mexico, MAMEbox arcade machines were the hot shit. Although they had tons of games, the ONLY ONES I EVER SAW MEXICAN KIDS PLAYING were:>King of Fighters 2002 (and only 2002, maybe a weird hack of it but only 2002)>Metal Slug (any)>Snow Bros.That's it.
>>7660582oh yes, Mexico and kof 2002. probably Magic Plus, a hack with character switch and infinite super meter.didnt know they played snow bros though. also i thought they simply had Neo Geo MVS with pirated carts
>>7661286>also i thought they simply had Neo Geo MVS with pirated cartsEvidently not all of them. Well, there were some different types of machines, I remember playing MvC2 in a generic cabinet before, but most of them were just MAMEboxes stuffed with a shitload of roms

What are some good vanilla mods?I've tried Blackops smoothing and Perk enchanted sounds, anything else worth trying?
>>7660614very cool picture!
>>7661217>Doom Sound Bulb, which is a better sound mod than Perk's imo.>Vsmooth>Doom Minor Sprite Fix.
>>7659146Hey, here's the new version of the monster pack with the shotgun guy sprite fixedI also included a small update to one of my maps to fix some lighting problemshttps://x0.at/aMT.zip
What are some good SEGA System games? Just getting into deep /vr/ shit and looking for recs
Goddamn these threads are so fucking retarded
>>7661250How is talking about a retro console and referring to it by it's actual name retarded?
>>7661249A notice My Hero says "The Sega Cartridge". There's a certain word conspicuously absent.
>>7661276>referring to it by it is actual name retarded
actually it's called the Sega Mark III
Imagine RGB modding your console in order to play on an HDTV
>>7658835This is S-video from an unmodded N64, you don't need an RGB mod, especially when the developers had colour degradation in mind.
>>7660445Did DK give up his soul to the abyss?
>>7658835RGB mods are such a meme but I won't not use RGB output from a console if it supports it. Like the n64 looks fine enough with S-video honestly. Looks better than when I was a kid, but still suitably blurry like I remember it.
>>7658835Which one is supposed to look better?
>>7660445Agree, N64 is intended to be a blur festival anyway, S-Video is more than enough for it.
The second part of the Project Deluge will be released on April 17, 2021.https://twitter.com/HiddenPalaceOrg/status/1383050887497723906

>>7658894The Saturn doesn't have an MPEG decoder built in. It's all software codecs. You actually can get good results with them if you know what you're doing. Sadly most devs at the time didn't:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B5xdkzEHb4There was an optional Video CD Card that allowed for MPEG-1 video playback, but it wasn't released in all regions and few games support it.
>>7659768what's the point getting all hyped up over almost-gold-status prototypes of released games everybody could play for decades?or is there another "thrill kill" in that dump?
>>7658616this one is actually true lol
>>7659965That D&D game looks interesting, I'll have to give it a go later.Thanks for posting the archive links
Any tips on getting good at the Super Robot Wars games? I really suck at these, but I want to be good, so I can play them all. Wonderfull retro robot shit
>>7661024The animations are good. But gameplay seems to be one of those mediocre Japanese rts.
>>7661031How do I get good at the gamplay, then? I fucken suck
>>7661052Work out what your units are good at and play to their strengths. Gundam units are decent shots and can do it at long range but a couple of hits will scrap them. Super types like Mazinger are tanky cunts but without Lock On or whatever it's called being active, they're going to miss a lot.And when in doubt, there's no shame in camping on a base and playing keepaway.
Also, the game is much easier if you don't go for True Endings, those require beating the game under a certain number of turns, if you ignore that, you can retry stages and just grind until you become powerful.Or play the PS1 games, or anything after that even if it's not retro, with the exception of SRW A Portable, every SRW is much easier than the SNES ones, mostly because they give you some new mechanics to counteract stuff like beam shields, also more melee units that are good at that.And Super Mecha pilots getting Spirits that allows them to 100% attack anyone including bosses becomes more common.But if you go for the SNES games...just either grind or treat it as a puzzle game if you want to get the best ending and hope in some cases the RNG blesses you, and accept that bosses will get no damage from beam attacks or many of your most powerful attacks.
For your last RE run, did you play original or remake?
>>7661254>the point>youThe point isn't how the game plays with the rocket launcher, I never use it either, the point The point is that the rocket launcher does to an enemy everything that can happen to an enemy with other weapons: take off limbs, burn the body, etc in REmake it doesn't do that because there is no limb system. Use the grenade launcher against a Hunter in the original: its arms are gone, its body rost. Use the grenade launcher against a Hunter in the remake: lol nothing.
>>7659997Original on PC with the Gemini patch. Shit was so cash.
>>7661263You don't even have a point. REmake is exactly as its name states, a remake. It doesn't need to carry over a carbon copy of every single mechanic from the original. If no exploding body parts is a deal breaker then I'm sorry.
>>7661270> If no exploding body parts is a deal breaker then I'm sorry.Yes, details like that are essential to how the game feels. Weapons need feedback in order to feel good, sound and visual, if the visual does nothing, then it won't feel as good to the player. The grenade launcher feels very week in most RE games, especially 2, because of the sound design, but in RE1 the grenade launcher kicked ass in every way. In the remake the sound design of the weapons is great, but the visual feedback is lacking.
>>7661280So you care about the immersion from weapons but not the overall atmosphere? Because that makes absolutely no sense unless you're some retarded /k/ommando
the great debate
Revenge of Shinobi is brilliant but too hard without unlimited shurikins. I couldn't even beat the first boss without them.
>>76602493 isn't all about winning, you have to keep yourself entertained by running straight through the levels. I had a new respect for it when I figured out you could walljump through the area before Mechagodzilla and ignore the elevators.>>7660472Sega System version is kinda interesting
Shadow Dancer, preserved the original Shinobi/Rolling Thunder styleplus Yamato
Why have a debate at all. They're all great games.
>>7660491>Sega System versionstop that
What games do you recommend playing on this? If they are in black and white
>>7658998I think Hitachi is Japanese.
>>7659575Okay. It seems to be an universal NTSC thing.
>>7658785It's not even a real word zoom zoom. But why are you simping for the cringy faggot?
>>7660690Why are you typing like an imbecile?
>>7654075Pong
>can talk about a soccer game released in 2013>can't talk about any DS gamesYeah this makes a lot of sense.
>>7661023Yeah idk, DS feels significantly more retro to me than Xbox but whatever
Isn't the cutoff year 2007?
>>7661187Read the fucking sticky, you mongoloid.>Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier
>>7661023I agree DS should be allowed>technical capabilities roughly on 5th gen level>most games are 2D>small carts with games rarely reaching over 256MB in size, usually 32–128MB>no bloated budgets>no movie-like games>no Western AAA games>3DS released 10 years ago to replace ittell me again why we hate it?
>>7661274It's not retro.

Post the games that filtered you hard
>>7659349> No continues> No extra lives> You go all the way to the beginningYeah no this game suck ass. Shame, everything else is great
>>7659608Get gud
>>7659608Use the paper airplane every once in a while.
>>7659608There are continues, you get one for reaching 2-1 and another for getting to 3-1.
I went to the hood to buy a gamegear from a guy off facebook. He ended up giving it to me for free since it was my birthday and we're both capricorns, but like most gamegears, it doesn't work properly. It came with a carrying case like pic related and sonic 2, sonic chaos and ecco.The system turns on, but I just get a black screen. I'm guessing I just have to replace the capacitors on it via soldering. The only soldering jobs I've ever done is replacing the batteries for my pokemon games. Do you think this would be a hard job for me to pull off with my limited soldering experience? Also let's have game gear thread. What are your favorite games.
>>7661152>Game Gear KinoI haven't played mine in quite some time but i remember enjoying Ristar and sweating like a madlad when I got past that infamous boss in sonic 2
>>7661173Do you like sonic 2 more on genesis or gamegear?
>>7661152>He ended up giving it to me for free since it was my birthday and we're both capricorns
>>7661259His girlfriend originally offered me $50 and I told her I'd probably have to repair it and I offered $25. When I went to pick it up her boyfriend came out and refused to take my money for it.Guess black people aren't so bad, 4chan. If you're nice to them they give you free video games sometimes.
Well, did you?
>>7660598I was a Fatal Fury fan. Sorry C(r)apcom.
>>7660750I think my brother had this one, haha
