Hi /vr/,Are there are any Harvest Moon like games on Sega Genesis? I'm having trouble branching out from the Genesis' library of shooters, dungeon crawlers, and strategy RPGs.
there were virtually no life sims of any sort on the system.
What's the best way to play each of the classic Phantasy Star games?
>>6071364good thing you asked again, several new patches and retranslations have come out since yesterday's thread
>>6071496Yes. This translation for the first game:https://www.romhacking.net/translations/1069/And these simple bugfixes for the 2, 3 and 4:https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2132/https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2883/https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4142/
>>6071496>>6072251>https://www.romhacking.net/translations/1069/I absolutely recommend you use this translation and enable FM sound. It is the only sane way to play PS1 now that we have the option to do so.I do not, howerver, recommend any of those patches for the Mega Drive games. Plenty of little balance and gameplay changes that the hacker felt like throwing in for shits and giggles. Just accept the games as they are, bugs and all.
>>6071596Sounds like you're using Kega Fusion? It does the FM sound, bruv. Press the pause button on the title screen to switch between FM and PSG sound, you'll quickly see if it's working or not.
>>6072837>Plenty of little balance and gameplay changes that the hacker felt like throwing in for shits and giggles.Looking at the readme files, I strongly disagree with you. The only thing you can debate was unnecessary is some minor palette changes he did in III. Everything else in those patches is bugfixing.
Did anyone else play or complete this game? I remember having it, listening to the song lady in town a bunch of times, but always getting my ass kicked in the first dungeon and never getting anywhere.
>>6072707I enjoyed it a long time ago, I remember donning a cloak and phasing through a wall to grab something.
>>6072707go to gamefaqs, read guides
>>6072707It sucks.
Any interesting tales of /vr/ development hells? Game dev is such an arcane process, it's kind of wondrous to think about how anything got made after a certain era in history.
>>6070529I can't really hate the guy. It must be really tough to make a video game. I have no idea how to make games at all and I've been playing them my whole life.
>>6070529hebrew spotted
>>6072832>hebrew:hebrew+homebrew
>>6072460>new layout!Looks suspiciously similar to their last batman table layoutBravo Stern
>>6072938The new one's much better though. And it's not so terribly similar. For one, the two ramps are different. That alone makes a huge difference.
There's a twitch channel where anyone can play on a physical pinball machine over the internet. Free, no lines because no one knows about it. I'm not affiliated with them. I think the lag's not too bad if your ping is good, but see for yourself.https://www.twitch.tv/surrogategamesAlso:How to find pinball and pinball tournaments in your area:US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Finland, Londonhttps://pinballmap.com/Worldwide:https://pinside.com/pinball/mapEurope:https://findapinball.com/en/Tournaments:Depending on where you live, there may be a facebook group for pinball players in your area.

>>6071236I too managed the Gobstopper multi on my first try, and same don't know what I'm doing most of the time. I found that the ramp shots are easy to get the hang of and was just flinging the ball around those.>>6071248>Black Knight 3I had no idea this existed, and it's a Stern? When was the last time they released a pin that isn't a band or movie license??
>>6068995>There's a twitch channel where anyone canHow is this fucking physically possible?
>>6071330Some special software/hardware installed in the pinball machine. It's Batman 66, so they just use the action button to auto-plunge the ball when the player wants to plunge it.
>>6071253Not counting Woah Nellie, the last liceneless Stern release was High Roller Casino in 2001 (or so).Technically this IP is licensed from Scientific Games, who owns the Williams IP.

Red pill me on the NEC PC EngineGive me the best and where to get them
>>6072108also not up-to-date with memes so you'll need to help me out here mate!PS: my original post was meant as a somewhat mediocre joke....didn't turn out well I see..
>>6072071>some of us are under 15
Hows the homebrew scene
>>6065487>Tranny EngineIs this a Bithead thing?
>>6072582Nah. It's a "still in the closet deflecting" thing.
What are some games where just about everything about them is great... except gameplay
>>6071202Bloodborne
>>6072237>TerranigmaThough I was one of very few who found the game remarkably boring, which is funny since it succeeds Illusion and Illusion is vastly more engaging and enthralling to me.Terranigma is one of those games I admire but from a distance. Cool ideas, cool executions around those ideas, but the gameplay of 'you're Ark always and you JUST USE SPEARS' is fucking... c'mon.Or maybe I didn't get far enough?
Phantasy Star II. Promising idea ruined by terrible pacing and insane grinding.
Silent Hill 2

Why is there no Mario game where Mario wields an axe?I mean, it's right there in Super Mario Brothers.
>>6072484Koopa kreme
>>6068910This image speaks to me. Basically what happened when I was a teenager
>>6072573You played tug of war with the Pennybags against a pair of sanitation workers? For what porpoise?
>>6072756nah I was more free will and realized all my punk friends were just a bunch of commie losers
>>6072829So wait. If you're friends were the commies that would make you Pennybags? Why were you playing tug of war against a pair of sanitation workers?
Admit it anons, We've all imagined what our dream rom hack looks like. We've thought about making it, youtubed or googled a tutorial on how to and gave up.For me I've always wanted to make View To A Kill 64 or License To Kill 64. I have downloaded the engine to do so and looked up youtube tutorials and I just can't get my head around it.What about the rest of you? What have you wanted to make or dreamed of?Also what are your favorite Rom Hacks? For me its Goldefinger 64
>>6069214This seems beyond the scope of a romhack and I'd say try it out with a newly developed fan game instead. Then again, that Super Metroid/A Link to the Past mashup randomizer exists so I wouldn't say it's absolutely impossible. Good luck!
>>6063025I was watching A View to A Kill yesterday and thinking about how I would make each scene into a romhack level like Goldinfger 64 did
>>6063613>needlessly uncompressedActually it has a purpose. Textures are huge in the latest DirectX compression format because if they were more compressed to take up less space then theyd take exponentially more longer to load. Its also because devs are lazy and every texture is 4k-8k when it could be smaller for absolutely 0% difference in quality since modern hardware allows it. There are also a lot of redundant and underused texture files in modern games because there is no size limitation keeping them in check.Plus mipmaps have doubled in size.https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Content/Types/Textures/SupportAndSettings/index.html
>>6064665baddesthacks.net
>>6070951>because devs are lazy and incompetentWell those are excellent reasons.
>your old video store’s sticker is still on the cartridge >it’s been a quarter of a century
>>6071607Whats the cure?
>>6071616Autism bucks neetdom or death. Or find fulfillment in your life. Be that a hobby or otherwise.
>>6071595Even though I have lots of >>6071607 symptoms, I'm glad I can still enjoy video games.
>>6071595We lose our imagination somewhere. When I was in 6th grade I used to imagine World War I storylines when playing Melee and Mario Kart DS battles. Something like Bowser completely annihilating Ice Climbers was supposed to be the archduke assassination, which brought all these other characters in on alliances and so on. I play now but it’s not much more than what’s actually on the screen.

Name 1 reason to not like this game
>>6072421rap and pop are far more toxic to society than rock music ever was.
>>6072092This!
>>6070980I'm afraid I can't agree with that, m8. Dio may have a much better set of pipes than Ozzy but Sabbath's best work was most definately done with the Ozzman.
>>6072850upvoted

Anyone else here curate their MAME romsets? Instead of dumping a full set of crap or picking out like 5 games, actually going through the entire MAME library and picking stuff out? Latest version I have has 2001 games and 1045 if you don't count clones. All hand-picked. Also, I'm using Arcade, which removes 99% of the crap that's been added the past decade or so.
Curate your life and kill yourself.
Actually don't kill yourself. Instead be the hero we need and upload your curated set somewhere for your vr brothers. Save us from the hell that is having to deal with the mame's weird obsession with calculators and fruit machines.
>>6072905>>6072907http://arcade.mameworld.info/https://pastebin.com/cBr5VDzq
Also as a list of ROM names. Maybe if you have a source you could convert this into a list of files to download. Assuming they're not full merged, or you'll get all the crap bootlegs and useless regional variations. https://pastebin.com/Amf4dYRL
If they didn’t want to use CDs, why didn’t N64 use these from the get-go?
>>6070813AND THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
>>6072809You couldn't afford a flash cart for that?
>>6072809Needs a gameshark to complete the stack.
>>6072809your kung fu is weak.
>>6072809Why not add a few other boxes between the CD64 and the DD it's not connected to?
You know you love FFVIII
Draw points would have been fun little things to keep track of if it wasn't so fucking easy to manufacture literally anything. Like if Mag-RF just wasn't a thing and single enemies only had a finite number of spells, like ~3 or maybe you would occasionally "crit" and get close to 10, or it scales with your Spirit or something.This is what fucking kills me about FF8. You can take literally any aspect, and in five seconds come up with several alternate gameplay designs that are far superior.
FF8 was an overall good game, the only thing it did wrong was having level scaling.
>>6072595I liked it like 20 years ago. I should play it again
>>6072595I stopped midway into disc 2 back in 99, tried playing again in 07 quit early in disc 2, it’s just not for me.
>>6072595
Post em
>>6071505Fuchikomas also have that and they're better.
>>6069978Here's Ishino DJing in Love Parade 98https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TttiEh-DVCcYou can find his Love Parade 99 and 2000 videos as well.Also, one of the most popular tracks by his band Denki Grove, Niji, got its own remix release by Mijk van Dijkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JrM-wtTbxYThere's also many collab releases Ishino did with other producers, most closely with Beroshima/Frank Muller, who actually edited most of Ishino's solo stuff and some Denki Groove in Germany through his Muller Records label.Just this year Ishino visited Germany and hanged out with Westbam. Not sure if he performed anywhere, maybe private parties.
Magical Taruruuto-kun is a very underrated Mega Drive platformer. Never watched the anime, though.
does oni count? i've spent more time than i'd like to admit poking around old bungie fansites
