I wanna try out a Virtual Boy but lots of sellers keep saying there is some kind of distortion with the goggles, is this easy to repair? How often do VIrtual Boys have problems?

Did anyone make any emulators for VR headsets? Feels like that would be pretty fitting for the Virtual Boy.

I played Virtual Boy during hours on Wario, never got a problem with.
Always 12/10 in each eye at 40 years old.

the programmers who developed the games on it spent hours and hours. those who usually wore glasses had sore eyes, but then no longer needed glasses.
>>
>>10462507
I really disagree. The 3D effect is really stunning, especially considering the time it was produced. You really do owe it to yourself to try it out, and are missing out if your only experience is emulation. As far as it being difficult to play, this is true for longer sessions. If you limit yourself to short sessions, it is fine. But ultimately I think you should also experience what it’s like to play an actual Virtual Boy. Emulation removes everything that makes the Virtual Boy a Virtual Boy, for better and for worse, leaving you playing games that are good but nothing special.
>>
>>10462707
As someone who has a working Virtual Boy, I can safely say that emulation with a decent VR headset is 100% superior. I'd love to see both the VB and 3DS on a 3D monitor, but unfortunately that fad died off and nobody makes drivers or glasses for it anymore.

The old zelda.com timeline is actually good, idk wtf you're talking about. It would add a ton to the games story and lore. Things would actually make sense, which is a good thing. You're arguments have no point. Just go read a newspaper or something if you're not interested on the story or lore. why are you even posting? You just needed to feel like you're opinion mattered? Too bad it's a shit opinion with no direction.

From what I gather, he mainly did it to demonstrate what the N64 was capable of when pushed further than any late 90s developer was capable of. Hence why he intentionally chose a game that revolved around complicated physics.

Why some gameboy color games can look very nice and colorful like the games on the left but at the same time games on it can look really washed out and dull like the games on the right? Color isn't related to the overall quality of the games but it does make me wonder why some devs managed to make their games nice and colorful while other didn't

I'll go first Final Fight for the Sega-CD kick ass sound track and the difficulty is way more tolerable than that arcade crazyiness
>>
>>10462668
I don't think anyone ever called Final Fight CD a shitty port. And it's a given that home console ports are going to be better than arcade since they remove a lot of the difficulty spikes and cheap AI.

I’ve recently been getting into finding and listening to pop/arrangement albums of retro game music. I love how you never know what you’re gonna get with these: Some renditions kick ass and some are only arguably music. I also just get a kick out of how “of their time” 90% of these tracks are (not in a negative sense by the way). Anybody here know of some good ones? (To be clear, the albums themselves have to be retro)

It looks Thief: The Black Parade, the long-awaited fan-mission campaign for Thief Gold, has finally been released! It's been 7 years in the making and it features 10 expansive FMs, covering an original story with its own protagonist. Thoughts, fellow taffers? Been waiting a while for this one, gonna reinstall T1 to try it out.

Here's the TTLG thread about it:

Don't get me wrong, but I think you're exaggerating things.
>If you get filtered
sure, but note how many people in the thread mention the difficulty of the dungeon's layout.
>You only need to equip them like six times
yeah sure—on an ideal playthrough maybe, where you already know where to go.
>It takes 5 seconds
In a game known for its great innovative controls, having to equip iron boots feels out of place. Why not just make them an item that you can simply turn on/off with a tap of a C button?
the point is, it takes 5 seconds of annoying distraction, when it must have been zero, and no other items in the game do that (beside shitty hover boots). OoT even went with a generous system that let you map 3 items to different buttons. having to equip Iron Boots goes directly against that convention for no real reason.

>>10460224
It's an interesting dungeon but also an annoying one. Finding all the small keys is a pain in the fucking ass and not particularly fun
>>
>>10463547
Fair, but were the other temples any better? Only the forest temple was interesting, rest was all 7–8/10 for me. IMO they're all good but not great, and overstay their welcome.
For its reputation as the GOAT, I don't think OoT had any "genius" dungeons to begin with, maybe only the first one truly wowed me and was good in every way. Jabu jabu's belly was very annoying, ice caverns were plain mediocre, gerudo fortress was just wtf. I only really liked deku tree, forest temple and bottom of the well. rest all had various issues.

This room was a pain in the ass when I was a kid. Didn't have the dexterity to get the timing right and it took me awhile. Then I found out the door was locked and I didn't have any small keys left. Took awhile to find the one at the bottom of the center column.
