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".

Why does almost no one mention the first Street Fighter game? unlike other games this one is more of a single player game and its fun if you have never beaten Sagat in this game you are not a true Street Fighter fan

It was also ported to the Amstrad CPC.
I think the game would have a different legacy if it had a port to the Famicom or Megadrive. Especially if that "port" was kind of just a different game with playable CPU characters and better controls.

I never played it because Major Magic's wanted me to spend 2 tokens on a game that lasted 30 seconds trying to control it with pic related, oh yeah, no explanation of how to do moves or anything.

or I could spend those 2 tokens on a couple old faithful games like moon patrol or bump n jump that I could play pretty decently and beat a few levels on.

if i wanted to blow my tokens on a hard game (which I wold do once a trip) i'd hit up the sit down afterburner for 4 tokens, just for the motion thrill.

The deeper you dig into the history of this game and Takashi Nishiyama's directing style, the more clear it becomes that this game is really the first Garou game, and Street Fighter II is built from very different design DNA.
Go back and play Fatal Fury 1 and it feels a lot like Street Fighter 1, in all the bad ways.

Nice! It was always one of the better FMV games. If any retro games really need remasters it was those since it felt like the technology just wasn't quite there in the 90's to really properly make movie games.

this emulator is great but the dev is a loon. they got mad at retroarch for... forking their code using their license and then reporting an attempt from someone else to pass off duckstation code as their own. and then the dev also just cuts arch linux support because... people sent bug reports.

the only hardware flaws were the casing. the original xbox was too big, and the controller was too big. they should have done like pc engine and had a japan model with a totally different case. everything about it was too foreign feeling, and not in a good way. they pandered hard in the 360 era with blue dragon, cave games, idolmaster etc but even then they only sold 1/10 of what the competition sold. so they gave up.
>>
>>12871354
nothing in this post is true.
og xbox was the best hardware of the generation.
nips hated xbox because it was big and american, they never had any chance whatsoever.
360 sold like dogshit in japan too. like 100 units per month.
the red ring shit did not matter to the nips because they never bought the console in the first place.
Microsofts handling of the RROD was exemplary (they burnt 1 billion $ for extended service time free of charge to everyone). it's Sony who handled the YLODs atrociously (they offered a silent bow).

>Online functionality in the 2000s was extremely minimal on the PS2 and non existent if you were still stuck with a PS1 somehow
Online functionality at the time was something shared with friends too. You'd invite a friend or two over because you had the network adapter and just rented the new socom or you got a 14 day free trial for live and were willing to hook up your console to your modem.

And a big thanks to Bungie who decided to let people go split screen and online at the same time.

Why is it so hard for Sega to admit they took inspiration from the Americans? Is this some weird pride thing? If so, Nintendo doesn't seem to mind saying they were inspired by American Atari from the 1970s.
>>
>>12859910
sega was originally an american pinball company but they moved to japan when america was starting to ban pinball.

also to be fair to sega, the genesis was straight up better than the NES at the time of its release. The snes released after. Dreamcast was better than n64 and the ps1, but the PS2 came out and did 90% of things better than it.
>>
>>12861415
Agreed.

>>12861450
People who are pro-piracy are brown coded, often living in poorer countries, hence their need to pirate the games they want.

>>12861737
The DS isn't retro and of course it's easy to pirate when you have USB access or SD card slots. But piracy wasn't widespread on the DS, hence why DS games are easy to find and buy.
>>
>>12871229
>Dreamcast was better than n64 and the ps1, but the PS2 came out and did 90% of things better than it.
Dreamcast just came out a lot a weird time. Kids were still buying and using N64s and PS1 machines. Many kids were not ready and didn't save up for a new console system.

I had a Dell D505 for w98 compatibility and 15" 4:3, but win98 actually fucking sucked on it, and I didn't have any issues running XP on it. Some of the mod tools I am really engrossed in run like shit, so I bought a Precision M4400, being one of the last that sold with XP, super high core speeds, 16:10, app controllable p state and undervolting, no bga faults, and piss cheap. Believe me I spent a long time looking at the T60, Precision M50, HP ZD7000, M6400, M6300, etc. 15.4" is a good compromise I see working out with minimal risk, anything crt era I can just use the D505 for and not worry about performance, it's just not gathering my interest now. If I really wanted to do win98 in earnest I'd probably get a slightly older desktop with a Northwood P4 or athlon XP, I had so many issues with this being a laptop with changeable resolutions, rmclock didn't work, sleep wouldn't work. I still have my 7720 now with windows 8 on it for phenomenally better 4k scaling. I don't know if I'll keep 8 on it or at this point just change the screen to a 1080p one, it looks grainy and weird set to 1080p unlike a 1080p native display

Dell Pentium 4
Why bother trying to chase a high end P3, a cheap P4 will beat it. Usb ports can be used as the hdd if you want, simple usb keyboard and mouse but for win 98 you have to wait for them to auto detect, might need a ps2 for the first time to click next.
AGP port for whatever era you want.
Its the most worthless unwanted computer and is perfect for dos and win 98, my favorite era.

Mini 386 repro for games before about 1995
Book 8086 with a real CGA chip, pc games upto 1987 but some even upto 1991.
I like the whole tuning and trying to make a game run on a pc that is not supposed to be capable.

My first computer was an ex office likely 486 or pentium machine running windows 3.11 that was loaded with shareware (luv me some duke nukem) and using a dot matrix printer to print a page of A4 text was measured in minutes. Defragging the hard drive had to be done overnight as it took so long and I still remember all the beeps, boops and whirrs we all associate with hardware of that period. Fun in so much that it exists as a nice memory but i'd never want to actually go back to that for daily use, even as a dedicated nostalgia machine.

It is why you see people making "super" computers for a given time period doing all kinds of shenanigans like SD cards instead of hard drives or RAID setups to overcome the painfully slow parts that are undesirable (that and 30-40 year old electronics aren't exactly reliable).

Though it does make me wonder how attitudes will be once we reach the age of /vr/ tier hardware hitting 100 years old. Car culture has already got there.

I've just used AI to create a VR version of Extreme-G N64 (one of my favorite N64 games). It's completely immersive 3D VR, can look around you to see surroundings and it also set up motion controller steering so I can use the controllers like handlebars.

It built this on my PC in just an hour or so and quickly fixed any bugs that came up on the way. My mind is blown at how capable AI already is.

Very excited for the future of gaming with AI, and the revitalization it will offer to retro gaming. Anyone else making cool stuff yet?

No no not like that. Whenever someone complains "why should i play your shitty way when there's perfect (240fps 8k widescreen plus mods plus save state support bugs free authentic customizable malware free) ways to play the game" you're supposed to complain about trannies, capice?

>>12870840
>attributing decomp findings to recomps and AI

I'm not attributing anything to anything faggot
AI uses decomp findings to make new decomps/recomps

So what? I want to play the games, AI lets me do that, without AI I couldn't do that because the developers who made the first decomps can't work on every game at once
>>
At the end of the day you have to enjoy the game first before enjoying AI remixes of said game
That's why I have common ground with people playing "AI Mario 64 Chudjak Decomp" just like I have common ground with people playing "Mario 64 Trooner Star Hack" and I have common ground with "Speedtard Mario 64 0 Stars Run" Because we will always have the original Mario 64.
The hobbie has been fragmented for ages, let's not pretend it is just starting. It has never been easier to enjoy the original game too.
