I use Philips DVD-R and ImgBurn with .iso dumps from the Internet Archive to burn discs to this thing. The game runs fine, but the video cutscenes are always choppy with glitchy audio.

Video cutscenes on retail copies work fine.

Anyone else have this issue? Do you use a different DVD brand or burner?

Ignore this anon. You need slow CD-rs to be able to burn slowly, otherwise you're stuck at whatever the disk is rated at, likely 8x or 16x

Obnoxious level design, unbalanced difficulty settings (normal is a cakewalk, hard is a frustrating mess), bosses and even popcorn enemies are massive bullet sponges, nauseating top-down stages, excessive gimmicks, and somehow the weapon swap exploit was never caught in testing. One of the few 2D Contras that missed the mark.

Are we meant to spam weapon swap? It seems like it should be an exploit, but the enemies have an absurd amount of HP on Hard if you don't and just never fucking die and how could you not figure out that weapon swapping does way more damage naturally during play? I'm about to just throw autofire on weapon swap just so I can stomp this kusoge and be done with it.

Hard Corps > Sunset Riders > Moo Mesa > Mystic Warriors > Contra 3 > Gunstar Heroes

t. Has no-miss cleared all these games.

Gunstar Heroes is extremely overrated. I guess it's mindless fun on the lower difficulties, but Expert difficulty just really causes the flaws to be glaringly obvious. You have to choose between two equally bad controls schemes, constant screen shake, massive hordes of infinite spawning enemies with bullshit grabs, repeated stun-lock, the gun combinations are poorly balanced and poorly implemented, massive bullet sponge bosses that take literally minutes of just avoiding the same loops while doing chip damage, and just an unbalanced mess in general.

If you had the ability to choose your loadout at any time or per stage (or at the very least not rely on two different RNG drops to get your desired loadout), and a stationary aim button, the game would be much better, but it suffers from being too ambitious with a 3 button controller

Does the Castlevania series have the best track record when it comes to the sheer amount of top notch bangers? I can't think of any other game series that comes close other than maybe the Sonic games.

Both Adventure games have a lot of good vocal tracks. Open Your Heart, Live and Learn, It Doesn't Matter etc. I mean Ice Cap Zone in Sonic 3 got so many remixes that there is literally a fanmade album dedicated to it. Also look at the entirety of Sonic CD (either soundtrack) or any of the songs represented in Generations

It’s good news if you’re into OpenMW features like smoother animations and multiplayer. Sheathed weapons (unsurprisingly) don’t work well with the TC’s lightsabers.
>>10884001
Fair opinion. I find the combat acceptable for 2002 and with everything else the game has going for it. The games afterwards have been consistent about this, combat always being “acceptable for current year” and still a step down compared to more combat-focused titles.

>Fair opinion.
In a /vr/ first, we have found common ground.

I know it isn’t retro but I can’t wait to play the Star Wars Total Conversion for Starfield in 20 years. That fucking trash garbage game is dying to be made worthwhile and turned into a Star Wars game. It literally has every single mechanic you need for it down to force powers.

Either Coleco or Parker Bros. Coleco has more of an edge for me because I like how the cartridges look (despite them being more fragile than other carts)

Wanna check out the boktai games and since I'm not spending hundreds of dollars I'm naturally gonna be using an emulator with the patch that lets you manually adjust the sun level.

Any big boktai-heads that could give me a rough outline of how much sunlight was say, a 3 on the bar vs a 10? I wanted to make it at least kind of similar to what the weather is outside or at least avoid totally throwing the balance out of wack by having the meter at the wrong setting all the time - also boktai thread

Is there a cheat code or something to make you go to Azure Sky Tower to F99 right away? Building the tower from F30 3 floors per clear sounds like pure pain.
Also, making you need 6 seals where 4 are exclusives to your save data and the rest should be copied to another save data is annoying.

Has anyone actually bothered with emulation on iOS? While I think it's a great step to create mainstream interest in emulators and maybe inspire some would-be devs, I just don't see the point. No buttons, no external storage. MAYBE I can see myself throwing some simple turn based Gameboy/SNES RPG's on it, but I have a couple chinkhelds and 2 hacks 3DS's, so... why?

I know I'm definitely not the target audience for this, but I'm curious about everyone's thoughts.

What a hill to die on

I've wanted to play this game since I've seen it on a TV show in 1999. I finally gave it a go, and it was a tons of fun but.... 5 tracks? That's it? Seriously? I know the tracks are long and full of multi paths but still, this is really light.

This can also be a general statement lol. IGN hasn’t been decent since the mid-2000s and has especially sucked since they were acquired in 2013.

>>10884078
I know, it’s a shame. Blame the govt: they force car manufacturers to adhere to both ever-increasing safety regulations and fuel economy standards, at the same time. One usually demands added weight, the other, less. It’s insane and the reason why so few beautiful cars are produced now. I’d like the choice to just buy a car with more or fewer safety features, depending on what I value.

You might be thinking of the original Neo Geo CD. It had a front loading disc tray that ejected in and out. Not faulty but the moving parts can potentially bake. SNK heard complaints and feedback about the moving tray. So they made the Neo Geo CDZ as a top loading to improve reliability and have less moving parts.

The Hyper Neo Geo 64 still had room to grow. From interviews I read, the devs at SNK were still learning the hardware and how to tap its potential. They were still very used to 2D and transitioning to 3D.
