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
The bombs are dropping. You are going into the bunker.You can pick one console.You can pick five games. What are they?
>>9516769Meds.
>>9512676>>9512902>>9512498What the fuck are you doing here? This is a board for retro gaming not your based and redpilled circlejerk of dudebros.
Uhm, gee, uhhhh, fudge man....I'll go uh, NES. I'll take dragon quest 3, blaster master, abbadox, castlevania and idk give me star tropics.
You guys arent thinkingPS2RPG Maker 2 Fighter Maker 2MLB Power ProsGrand Theft Auto San AndreasSim City 2000
>>9517027this is pretty good because there's enough content to play for years between TS2 and the collections, but man are you gonna regret hearing the Melee announcer for the rest of your life. also Prime would get boring as fuck with that much playtime
Should I play Dual Shock Version or Deadly Silence?
>>9518046Thanks, this is wonderful.
>>9518046Saturn has touched up backgrounds? wasnt this the version where they had to do stuff like remove the green specimen tanks in the lab and replace them with broken ones because the Saturn couldn't handle the transparencies?
>>9518046Dual Shock version pauses the playtime clock while in the inventory/pause screen. The others do not.
>>9518074I think the pre-rerendered backgrounds just have a slightly higher resolution and a few added decals here and there.No big whoop.
>>9518069No problem. I hope you find a version of your liking. I think most people would recommend the Director's Cut. My favorite version is the Director's Cut and DS port, but honestly they all bring something to the table.. even the Dual Shock versions horrible soundtrack>>9518074I think in some ways yes, but as you said. It has the weird transparent issues and odd shadows. I am personally not a fan but I also have never played it. I don't own a Saturn.>>9518075I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
uggh, what a glitchy mess. somehow it got Nintendo's seal of quality anyway. go play the C64 port instead.
>>9517440>Jet Set Willy being bugged so they later published a POKE command you would type in before starting the game to patch it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdiNz1ICelkDoes anyone know why Commando seems to break on Everdrives? I saw a mention on nesdev that it locked up on Power Paks as well after you go up a few screens. No ROM either the US or Famicom ones seem to work. Do you actually need the real cartridge to play this?
>>9517407>>9517413>>9517415The best version of ikari warriors is the 7800 port by the way, it has a strafe button.
Guerilla War is the best of these games
>>9517392Could you tell us about some of the glitches?
What are we playing lads? What are we playing on? Thinking about consooming another handheld you don't need?
>>9517059>5th gen native res is shit for 3dOK
>>9517251there is zero chance of the cart falling out, the groove is just deep enough, why do you have to post lies? this is not a good way to spend the holidays
>>9518073he's not talking about the cart falling out, he's saying touching the cart causes corruption issues
>>9517963
>>9517890Because your kids and wife want to use the TV, or you commute. That said, I mostly play RPGs

>>9517580Why does the rocket spawn a bunch of hitscan shots when it explodes?
which game has the best instagib free for all deathmatch and how do i set it up and why won't you play it with me
>>9517580>>9518063And why does the rocket only work at some parts of the map?
It's almost 2023. If you can't do this yet then it's time to learn how. Every day hardware ages and not being able to solder makes you more and more like a car guy who can't change the oil in his car by himself. Your consoles and games need to be properly maintained in order to keep running long term.This statement does not apply to poorfags in third world countries who emulate.
I'd really like to, but what soldering iron to use as an amateur ?I see stuff ranging from $10 Iron+ stuff set to $90 or even $300 soldering stations. If you aren't planning to open a shop but simply fix controllers, resolder charging ports in phones or solder new capacitors in broken monitors would a $50 shitty chinese soldering station be enough?
>>9517998Ts100 at all price ranges
>>9517990what is soldering and why would a console need it
emubros just keep on winning
>>9517990Soldering isn't hard. Soldering well is a different story.A lot of beginners are going to fuck up the first few things they try.
just spent all day putting this piece of shit together. it was such a fucking pain in the ass, not at all super easy and fun like in all the shill videos on youtube, that i pretty much regretted getting it the whole time. However, it did work exactly as advertise, playing retrogames is way more fun and easier on this than emulating ever was and the input lag really is gone and i can finally enjoy the games. I cant say the cost AND effort was worth it though, probably shouldve just quit retrogaming honestly.
>>9516615there is next to zero settings fiddling with mister. this guy bought an apparently poorly constructed kit where shit didnt fit together properly
>>9517558how does her boyfriend feel about it
>>9518049youre right. im gonna give away all my gear and just stream games through a stadia. good bye everyone
>>9517761>Everyone got psyoppedmister is a vastly better experience. shit isnt constantly getting broke every update like with mame and RA.you dont have to choose between smooth video, smooth audio, or increased input lag like with higan, mesen, bsnes, and every other standalone that doesnt do the retroarch AV sync thing.it was worth the $300 I spent on it. everything it plays it plays better than my pc at 1/100th of the power. I have saved $50 off my last two electric bills since getting this thing.
>>9518078these people act like mister is some kind of ponzi scheme
Diablo 1. Heck of a gameplaying as a warrior on my first playthrough, hellfire.
Do I buy this? Seems legit.
>>9517823Don't know if you need it as a warrior, but that looks pretty good for a Wirt find. 14k gold isn't that much by the end-later game, you should be finding 25k magic staves to sell to Adria fairly often by now.
Love the first two Diablo games
>>9517823Magic just increases your mana. It could be somewhat useful if you have the mana shield spell for some extra HP.
>>9517797that robe is too small for you
I hope Ill find a Mitsu soon edition
>>9516704You can clean mold off VHS tapes. Open top case of VCR. Fast forward the tape. As its running, lightly press Qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol against the capstan so the tape runs across it. Cleans all the mold off. I've done it several times and saved some rare tapes this way.
>>9517310I played a few Minutes off a slightly moldy tape and didnt the machine clean afterwards,hope that wasnt enough to contaminate anything I played afterwards
>>9517279 really i didn't know that may explain why the wii looks fine
A new world has formed. This world is called. Gaylo.
Hey, somebody has the CRT vs Modern Screens comparison?
>hurr AI will translate it for meIs the AI also going to edit the ROM file to hack the new script in, or what? Surely no one here is dumb enough not to realize that making the translation itself is by far the easier part.
>>9516489Europeans can't make good games, but I'll admit that they have a better comics industry.
>>9517031>>9517031This gives me some hope, fuck AI translators :)
>>9517226Idiot, this is how expressing yourself through art works, you don't know exactly what the artist is ever saying, you're just interpreting it into your own understanding. With fan translations, you're interpreting some faggots interpretation.

Modders are making a fixed camera angle version of Resident Evil Survivor
>>9517570Yes, the mod development is officially halted but there are obviously doubts if it will ever resume
>>9517421>>9517582is this mod based off some side material like a comic or movie, or is it all fan made plot?
>>9517346Where's the link for this, and how can I get involved?
It seems like recently some modders figured out how to do decent new screens, and also how to import screens from other games.The guy doing Survivor Redux, "Aydan":https://twitter.com/ClassicREModsDL links: http://aydanwatkins.x10host.com/Survivor Redux, the maps are based on Survivor but remade from scratch. Only 50% done for now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72_2rgM2yDYHe's also doing his own series, RE Containment (same link)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX0pTavTHPwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqoHPNXv-YYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SAUxdr8m7cComment too long.

What's with the 8-bit generation that made clone consoles so common even decades after the original consoles were discontinued, that we don't see in any generation that followed it?
the NES CPU/PPU have probably about 11,000 total transistors between them and the rest is just some RAM and a few TTLs. there's not exactly a lot to it.
>>9517778>BaltronI used to think that was the Japanese version of Voltron.
>>9517778China made factories in the 80s specifically destined to make NES clones. It was a part of the deng xiaoping policy to flood the global electronics market with cheap clones. They still have the tools now and are still making them, but theyre now more compact models than the original one. MD and SNES weren't easy to replicate in the 90s. Unlike the famicom, they weren't made to be cheap as dirt. Nintendo and sega only made a slim profit from selling the console units by themselves.
>>9518059Originally they just decapped the NES chipset and copied them directly with pin compatible 2A01/PPU clones. Later on they went to a single chip implementation on a more modern CMOS process, although they slightly messed it up and got the 2A01 duty cycle wrong so sound is a little off in these one chip NOACs.
>>9518059The Mega Drive had mostly off the shelf parts except the VDP, but the SNES was all bespoke chips except for RAM, and some pretty advanced ones with a lot of features.
>Last Half of Darkness
>>9517842Do any unknown games even exist?
>>9517848Well, did you know all the ones mentioned ITT thread, my chud bud?
>>9517848Probably a bunch of shareware stuff that got shoved on shovelware compilations, and some capstone tier shit that either got released or not released. There was a Married with Children point and click in development.
Modern indie games inspired by the Macventure series(Shadowgate, Uninvited, Deja Vu) are Infested, Spectacle, and From Beyond:Prologue. Technically not retro but does a good job of continuing the gameplay style.https://grahfmetal.itch.io/infestedhttps://grahfmetal.itch.io/spectaclehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/971430/From_Beyond_Prologue/
>>9518045If we're suggesting modern shit, Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard just came out 2 days ago, and is pretty good.
>more than 1h into dragon warrior 2>char gets poisoned with low hp>try to go back to the nearest town>the batteries die and I lose all my progress That is surely a nostalgic feeling, isnt it?
>>9515848i have the mobile version on my phone and it's tremendous ass. you are better off buying batteries.

Don't play 8-bit RPGs if you're gonna cry about a measly 1 lost hour
They had a fucking quick save, you stupid fuck.
>>9517938You wish you had that on your life to not end up like that, right?
