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". Helpful links: Game Tech Wiki Emulation General Wiki

Smoking Miyamoto VS Tranny Clown -- who wins?
What brand does shiggy smoke
>>12792461Smoking has always been a good thing for the world. It helps us think better. I've never felt dumber after I quit. You got all these fuckers with zins now though so maybe that's the tradeoff.

WOWI thought the N64 was disappointing but this is even worse. How is this company still in business when they clearly decline every generation?

>>12792601I watched his review and this isn’t true, it was roughly 25-30ms better than the other handhelds he tested. But he didn’t test it against the RP6, which is the info I’m looking for. If it really is just a few ms of difference between the RP6 and the Nova then I’ll go for the RP6 since I like the form factor better, but I want to confirm that before I buy.
>>12792560You ask about very high-level emulation.The price will be "silly". RG DS barely could handle DS properly and only because custom firmware scene stepped in.
>>127926733ds and psp are not very high-level emulation
Offtopic, but there’s no other support general. I need a controller to play NES games on my Wii. Any suggestions?
>>12792227Ayaneo Micro (Classic) is better.
Anyone still playing Brightis? Just cleared the second dungeon.By the Light I will post my screenshots if this n*ghul captcha allows it.
H O L Y F U C KIce magic 3rd tier is incredible. I'm using it in the chaos ruins and all I have to do is tap the magic button good lord.
>>12792320yeah but killing with spells doesn't earn you any xp but it's good to keep your multiplier up
Why aren't there more games like Brightis? It could easily be improved upon but it seems like the 3d arpg genre just went in a completely different direction.
>>127925582D? lots.3D? i... don't know. there are definitely 3D action/exploration games. like Soul Reaver. but if you're looking for something with stats and levels, there's not any on the PS1. and forgeddabout anything with that God Hand-esque moveset customization.
>>12792378>>12792378brother it 100% earns you xp. I was the fella bitchin about the demon boss. Well when I fought him I was level 20. thats also when I started beelining it for the spellls. like 30 minutes in the chaos ruins and I finished the game level 38. I kind of wrecked it considering I 4 shot arcturus.
*mogs every other version in the soundtrack dept so hard it’s outrageous*

>>12791974I actually bought something like this new-old-stock on eBay recently but it was DOA. You're correct, RF to composite, or generally analog to analog is typically lagless. I meant more the RF-to-HDMI current solutions you see on AliExpress and Amazon; they "work" but they are unusable for gaming.
>>12778037Anon I have found two CRTs in the trash and one literally in the woods in the last 5 years and all of them worked fine.
>>12792000>was DOAIt might not be totally dead. The one I had was always finnicky, and would often produce no picture or freeze immediately after powering on, unless you timed it just right. I would fiddle with the power connector and the on button at the same time (sexy, I know) until it came on and stayed on. It's largely an analog device so it probably hates noisy power supplies, failing capacitors, and things like that. So I would at least try a different 12v adapter before writing it off. Then again, mine was a deeply discounted store fixture from an electronics store going out of business sale that had been used, I think, to power the floor model TVs, so it was probably already worn out from running all the time. I suspect it's just capacitors dying that kills them in the end, so maybe fixable.
>>12790895GBSC or if you are super poor, RetroScaler2X, which is a RetroTinkMini but sharper and cheaper, dont know if it has lag or not.
I hace the RetroTink 5X but I ordered the 6X after it was announced. I've had it for a few days now and I like it.
Were his decisions good for Sega in the long run?
>>12792484Then why aren't you blaming the Japanese person who designed the Sega Saturn? Why wasn't that Japanese Executive and related Engineers fired?
>>12792595my point is the 32x was the first domino in the Saturn failure, had it not existed, maybe it wouldn't have crashed as hard as it did, the 32x ruined a lot of the trust consumers had with Sega
>>12792623Let's assume your argument is correct. The 32x was only released in America. So that doesn't explain the Sega Saturn's failure in other countries besides America. How do you explain the Saturn failing in other countries?
>>12792656>The 32x was only released in America.The 32x shouldn't have released at all since one of the Saturn's reason to fail was that thing misguiding and scamming Genesis fans who were looking forward to the next gen system>Japanit did decent, almost good for the first years, until FF7 came out and it was all downhill since then>Europethis one is more of a mystery, Genesis is a beloved system so it would've fared the same or a bit better as it did in Japan for a while until the PS1 swoops their place
>>12792656>The 32x was only released in America
Who introduced you to Retro Games?
>>12784808JDG, the french AVGN
>>12787767Mike posted another man's dick pic
>>12784808I was not "introduced to retro games". I simply refused to stop playing the games I enjoyed, and eventually, there was a major lack in new games I enjoyed. If you wanna know who introduced me to video games as a whole, it was either my father, who bought the family a DOS computer, or my cousin, who gave up his console collection- NES, SNES and Genesis. I forget which came first.
>>12784808I am 18 years old and my uncle gave me his PS3, that was the first retro console I played!
>>12792345Wait, how do you know it wasn't his own dick?
REmake still looks gorgeous 24 years later. Almost every frame is as beautiful as a painting
>>12787642>posting the remasterNah
>>12787645Gen X i think
>>12792434The original RE game was released on the PSX, Saturn, PC, and DS. Stop fighting imaginary wars. People shittalk REmake because a cult has formed around it when its just as botched as countless other remakes people bitch about.
>>12791881the japanese one is the original i.e:true version,seethe and cope.
>>12787642>24 years lateranon, that screenshot is from a 2015 remaster
Here's your killer app bro.
>>12791706Is not bad but it's the weakest imo. It has more environment variety than 1 but I really hated the mission based structure, frequent E.Gadd interruptions, excessive hand holding and the game kicking you out of the level after completing main goals. The pacing is really bad.
>>12790089The worst thing about the sequels is the music isnt as good as it is in the original. The music and sound design of the original sets the tone perfectly.
>>12790089I had this and Pikmin. Good times.
When will the "Gamecube was actually good!" meme die?>Sunshine was garbage>Wind Waker was garbage>Both Star Fox games were garbage>Donkey Kong was relegated to gimmicky shit>Zero (0) games after 2003>Zero (0) 3rd party supportGamecube was dogshit

Whats stopping you from starting your own retro game store and running a business and making money while having fun buying games? it sounds like a good option for me maybe someday i will open a retro game store
>>12789638My town already has a pretty good established store, I have spoken with one of the employees several times and some of the shit he's told me makes me believe I'd never be able to deal with running a public facing business.
>I'm not bright but I'm not that retarded either.Well said
>>12789638never monetize your hobbies
>>12791503What you do is you make like your 3rd or 4th favorite hobby your job. That way you still know a lot about it and have legit skills in the area, but it's not something you hold super dear to your heart.
>>12792624>some of the shit he's told me makes me believe I'd never be able to deal with running a public facing businessStory time?
It will run like shit nowhttps://pcsx2.net/blog/2026/pcsx2-2.8/

DOOM THREAD / RETRO FPS THREAD - Last thread: >>12776957Doom/Quake/Duke/Heretic/Hexen/Unreal/Sam/Half-Life/etcGameplay, WADs/Maps/Mods, Source portsAll other 90s FPS welcome~ Let's post like gentlemen ~FAQ/GENERAL GUIDEhttps://rentry.org/vrbinSO YOU WANT TO PLAY SOME FUCKING DOOM(or Quake, Duke, Marathon, Deus Ex)https://imgur.com/a/wWS8zXzSame thing, in video format:Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>12791580I'm curious to see how it plays out. I know step 2 or 3 will be a cease and desist from zenimax, but after that a name change and such. I dunno. Right now it's just quake deathmatch, as they've moved away from FreeDoom.Entirely possible Sandy is getting elderly scammed again, but it's also possible something comes out of it.
>>12792539I'm about to put an hour into my map tonight (3.5 left) and yeah. It's taking me forever to find anything I can practically use for my already-done geometry. I don't know the textures well enough to make build geometry for them, so i just have to hope I find something that fits what was in my mind. Then I scroll...It's a good texture set, otherwise. Just not used to it.
>>12792365Open up the color selector for the flashlight (zoom + use item) and set brightness to max to increase beam strength. This will make it eat more power though.
>>12792376>>12792379Awesome. My playthrough of those three mods was so memorable since it was the first time I ran across rare Project Malice variants. PM + EDay is also just such a wonderful combo.
>>12792539And theres still many more to come whenever E3 comes out.
Why were people so convinced video games (violent ones) were demonic? Other pieces of media back in the day weren't criticized so harshly.I have my own theories but I really want to know what was it that made video games so much worse than even the most grotesque Clive Barker movies.
>>12792490A lot of that still exists, but it has pretty strongly atrophied because the real audience for that garbage is actually kinda small and strongly localized to certain spaces, even if it has been occasionally loud.It's now getting pretty easy to not notice it and be unaware, which is a thankful fucking mercy, even if culture war shit as a whole is far from over.
>>12792531Sounds about right, you have to seek this stuff out to find it now.
>>12792473I hate to be the one to tell you this late in your life but spirits aren't real. Welcome to reality.
>>12792490The GTA6 spouse thing is so transparently a fucking paid marketing thing by Take2. "Here journos, here's some outrage for you to farm, now get them talking about our game."
>>12792621Feel free to wager your soul on your conviction but there's nothing to lose by simply not fucking with Ouija or Taboo either. Consider it like Pascal's Wager - you have everything to gain and nothing to lose playing it safe with this shit. I'm not a practicing Christian or any other religion but feel this stuff is, as yet, unproven either way.
