So what's the best scaler to get nowadays? Last time I looked at the market, there was the Framemeister, the OSSC, or various vintage linedoublers.I have the OSSC currently, but it's not fully compatible with my plasma tv, anything above line2X will either be off center or flat out not work.I'm looking for something that takes RGB Scart (composite/s-video input would be a bonus, my C64 can't do RGB), and outputs fully in spec 1080p signal even if that means full processing of the signal.It would be also nice if it could do decent deinterlacing, the OSSC looks like ass with hi-res Saturn games.picture unrelated.
>>8935079what about dreamcast
>>8935087Don't feel like getting another console on which I only play one game (Soul Calibur 1).
>>8933949You sound like you know what you’re talking about, if I were looking for an upscaler primarily for laserdiscs but also occasionally some N64, is the retrotink worth it?
>>8935136i use the 2x and rgb2compthe latency is better than any other upscaler i have tried however, i was using cheap shit before that (hdmi2wii, hyperkin etc)the hyperkin genesis 2 hdmi adapter is surprisingly good, rgb, upscales, relatively low latency, kinda has a "warble" but for playing arcade pcb its acceptable and only 30$im trying to eliminate as much lag as i can so im using all retrotink stuff and it does make a difference, whether or not you notice it or even play the types of games where it even matters is entirely up to you
>>8935148i will say the 2x pro does suffer with deinterlacing 480 signals and they look a bit off so maybe the 5x is worth it for you
Top: VF4 PS2 ver emulated on PCSX2Bottom: VF4 Naomi2 ver emulated on FlycastIs arcade version supposed to look that horribly oversaturated or is emulation at fault? You might argue that games that were made for CRT tend to have overblown contrast but PS2 version was made for CRTs too?
>>8934774It doesn't look washed out though? Look at the right Lion's pants, detail is completely lost on Naomi2 version due to severe oversaturation
>>8934634The arcade version looks the same using both Demul (top) and Flycast (bottom)
>>8934816VF4 Evo and FT don't look too bad color-wise, maybe a tad oversaturatedEmulation appears to be graphically accurate, original VF4 does actually look like dogshit on naomiFunny how no one ever mentions this, everyone's fixated on ps2 outputting 480i instead of 480p on naomi2. You can fix low res but you can't fix shit color grading
>>8934780Or more likely they just changed things in the port
Now THIS is some next-level autism. Kudos, OP.
Criminally underrated. I would actually put this in my top 10 greatest videogames of all time list. If you disagree, well... you don't know what you're talking about, to be frank.
>>8926686I'm not 100% sure but it was rumored they were made by Masaki Segawa (Basilisk's mangaka). I think PS3's character designer is his wife.

>>8917632Welp
This framerate is awful, it makes the game completely unplayable. Why didn't people have standards for framerate like we do now back in the day? No true gamer would accept this low fps now.
>>8931946still, dc version is better because micky said so
>>8918868Faggots on both twitter & /v/ were defending DmC's 30fps a few years back. That was a late gen7 game.
>>8918868>He fell for the "N64 version is best!" memePlay DC or PC PS2 is worth a look on a replay. PS1 is worst but has some cool additions like the final boss and 2D beta. N64, DS and 3DS are superceeded by superior versions.
>>8932617How can they defend the indefensible?
>>8921732They played it they had lesser standards.
>>8933351PSX was never great system, mostly a mistake.
>>8928468Mega Man X3 was the first to come to mind, and yeah... that could have been better.
>>8928582>badIf only you knew, anon
>>8932217Starblade couldn't be done on a cartridge, it's all FMV but gives the illusion of a really advanced 3D rail shooter. Closest thing is I guess Starfox which is actually 3D but maybe not quite as advanced. Same can be said for Silpheed which uses FMV's for the backgrounds to give the illusion of really huge 3D worlds.Popful Mail on SEGA CD is also something they could never pull off on the Super Famicom version due to its limited storage space. I guess to be fair something like Terminator or Rondo could've easily been ported to SNES, but then the audio tracks and FMV cutscenes are half the fun of the CD consoles. Thankfully we do have MSU-1 patches now, so we can have or SNES CD, sort of.
>>8926751I only wish they hadn't skipped the 32-bit console, even without Sony they could've made a really good one, but instead we got the N64. While the GBA is technically 32-bit it's still a far cry from PS1 and Saturn. And we didn't get cool stuff like Yoshi's Island 2 until the DS
>>8934687kek, how many cars are on r4? can you tune them? can you make ur own stickers? can you download stickers online?do you have 400 rivals to beat? and wanderes? do you have a literal highway as a circuit?(sb2 doesn't have mirai tho)

>>8934687Not even remotely similiar.
>>8935009this looks bad, but also good, what the hell is going on here
what are some good games like this?I remember playing a few of them long ago and this mobile advertisement reminded me thatpc games or something I can emulate would be nicethanks
>>8934284imagine trying to play a shmup with touchscreen controls kek
STRIKERS 1945you can play it on mame or buy the port on steam
>>8934968or you can buy the pcb on ebay like me

More later.
Last month, we had a comfy thread of anons sharing (mostly) retro game music that would sound good on the old school weather channel.https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/8810017/https://battaglia.ddns.net/twc/twc2.htmlThat thread culiminated in this based playlist of 191 YouTube tracks.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_6TxgIrAWl7m-b0fdSgMhF3NbVYKLzghDuring that thread I mentioned I wanted to make an album based on this, and after many hours of finding better quality versions and sorting out proper track names and sources, this is the end result.This album is available in three formats distributed as a 7z archive split into 200MB parts:>320kbps CBR MP3 at original sample ratesPart 1: https://files.catbox.moe/748mxs.001Part 2: https://files.catbox.moe/s0ts4g.002Part 3: https://files.catbox.moe/0g8law.003Part 4: https://files.catbox.moe/xnjv3q.004Part 5: https://files.catbox.moe/39q8o3.005Comment too long.

>>8910936Did this one ever get posted? I have no idea. Here's one anyways. I have this game on pc but the ost is non-existant except for the aquarium shop.https://youtu.be/2FtxK-Pm3jgActually most of the OST seems pretty fitting.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7YuVu11Ud-IcEARPjmWUPzZni9jxlz2R
>>8928115Someone recommended CD-i Tetris in the last thread too, it was pretty much the entire soundtrack at which point you don't need to have it in a playlist.Just download the soundtrack.

Something like picrel. Bonus for Japanese only or niche games
>>8932396Oh yeah they are pretty expensive unfortunately unless you want to emulate or play with a bootleg . I know another game with fucked story. it´s called G.O.D .>You are just a little kid wanting to enjoy your summer break >You fight with the local bully and he became your friend>You are exploring a ruins when Suddenly,,,>Aliens destroy the world!>That little kid? actually was you a big man dreaming about the past>You form part of the resistance and are trying to find your mom even when she could be deadAnd that it´s only the beginning , the story goes in a roller coaster later on. It´s japanese and does have a patch if you want to play it
>>8926268Kind of a fucked-up twist on the story of Ender's Game, and that story was fucked up enough as-is.
>>8923607Nothing I've played leaves you with the same weird kind of melancholy vibe that Illusion of Gaia did. I loved Terrranigma too, it was similar, but something about IoG just leaves a weird feeling in the pit of your stomach.
I want to know about more games like in this thread.
>>8932417yeah i wish snes emulation was literally perfect and i could buy a decent usb snes padim genuinely missing out on so many snes games. i havent explored the library at all because its all so expensive
>>8931586>>8931880>>8932650Butthurt contrarian(s?)
>>8932607You can be a pretty light show with no depth
>>8931501>128-bit technologyWow! Dreamcast stronk!
>>8930254Must be the left one because the right one is a Spider-man game.
>>8930538It's not bad but the sticks are slippery which makes you have to adjust your grip constantly
Ah yes, these are normal looking mountains.
>>8932628Also normal people's upper bodies aren't just a right arm.
The Mosaicquing Mossads
>>8931569>>8931653Sonic games used to have surreal looking landscape like that in the original games. For example, hills always have checkerboard patterns on them.So yeah, those are "normal" looking mountains for a sonic game.
>>8932628that mario sprite looks so shitty, do guys at nintendo know how to draw sprites?
This looks very different from a real tree.Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Today on Hidden Gems™, I present to you Co-On-Pa SFC for the, well, super famicom. It's a fun little puzzle game where the objective is to rotate a multi colored cube around a grid in such a way as to make the color of the top face of the cube match the square of the grid you move to. It's got really eclectic background and catchy music, and is fun to pick up and play. You don't really need any japanese to play itThanks for tuning in, I'll have a new hidden gem tomorrow
...'Cu'. Not 'Co'.
sounds cool
>>8934863super nintendoits a no from me,there are way too many actual snes games on my backlog to get to this- sorry anonkun
