Is the mark 2 Sega a better purchase than a master system? Built in 3d adaptor and fm audio.
>>12039981They're about as expensive as a master system on ebay (buying from yahoo auctions japan), ebay prices are inflated to hell but you have to decide between a Japanese console with a pin adapter to play US games or a US console with a FM audio mod (requires soldering and cutting some plastic)
>>12040001Look at the cartridge port size and the lack of a reset button.
It's called the SEGA System.That pic is shopped.
>>12040007No one calls it the Mark 2. The Mark II is the SG-1000 II. It’s called the Japanese Master System.

I heard that FPGAs get the best performance for game emulation since they can be programmed to mimic almost any hardware. Their performance is only 2nd to the actual hardware itself. Has anyone worked with one before? Are there any good tools out there for turning one into an emulator?
>>12034497>fpga is emulating hardware but isn't an emulator and is as accurate as original hardware.Kek.
>>12039068I see, that's interesting.
>>12034273I remember reading some issue with the mister on the PS1 core that it's only 99% accurate UNLESS you're using a dual ram setup? What's not accurate without the dual ram?
>>12034304No software only emulator can work with real light guns on a CRT
>>12039838Not really much of the case anymore. In a handful of games the audio timing is better by a few milliseconds, apparently at a difference that isn't really perceptible unless you use measuring equipment.

Why does buying shit feel so badI wish I was one of those carefree people.
>>12039329>feels like I failed all the starving kids in africaIf only you scrimped and saved more, they’d be living in Wakanda!
I only spend money on thing that I can't pirate such as gunpla, but one day, I will be able to say "hey IA, design some runners for every MS from Turn A Gundam and print in on the 3D print"
>>12039553He should put it into a high nterest yielding bond or cd, or a nice ira
Playing Ps1 games in bed is EXTREMELY comfy doe. I recommend you give it a try.
Was Halo CE considered impressive for 2001? What did the FPS community make of it?
it was the first time i had seen bump mapping or whatever. i remember using the flashlight to look at those textures that looked so 3d. i didnt get a computer that could play most 3d games until a few years later so i found it impressive.

what's your most boomer retro gayming take?

>>12035212That's how life works, I remember that ten years ago european milineals had an American vision of the story of videogames because they learned it from America YouTubers like AVGN. And everything is like this, normies have a horrible understanding of history

>>12031435Isn't Mega Man 1 one of the most common NES games? Even complete?
>>12039669>NES games
Collecting is and always have been retarded. Only it was cheap and retarded back in the day now it's expensive and retarded. If you have nothing and playing on a modern display use a computer and emulator. If you need a CRT id trash pick a CRT and get a MISTER or if you have to real hardware with everdrives or ODEs
Anyone collecting right now is a massive dumbass; just get flashcarts and modchips
>>12039917This. I buy stuff locally if it's a good price, but this shits gotten out of hand.

That godforsaken level in the dreadnought where you're hunting down the infected robots is the most miserable experience I've had playing a 6DOF game
>>12037681That's a great level. Once you know what to do and know the ship.
Is this a decent game?
>>12033850descent another great bit of audio work great fucking gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjeTRa77OGw&list=PL271421EAF508D62B&index=1I loved the awe 32 and 64 great sound cards
Is there a version with non-ass mouse controls yet. I remember the Piccu fork being slightly better but still worse off than using a joystick.
Not one real flight simulator on the SNES, not even one.Why? Because it doesn't have blast processing, the processor is too slow.Also Super Nintendo sucks. The relied entirely on their meme-worthy scaling and rotation, resulting in clunky, predictable crap.lol "Pilot Wings" (case in point).Meanwhile on SEGA Genesis:MIG-29 FulcrumF-22 InterceptorG-LOC Air BattleAfter Burner (Also available on the SEGA System)F-117 Night StormLHX Attack ChopperThunder Blade (Also available on the SEGA System)Ace of Aces (Exclusively for the SEGA System)Comment too long.

>>12039129Damn that cover brought back memories, I still have the jewel case sitting with the rest of my old PC games. As a kid I never got it to work on the piece of shit family computer.
>>12039650I've only played a little bit of it, but that "mission start" sequence where you launch off the carrier and the perspective points back to the carrier, is as they would say, "absolute kino". The fact that you can roll the plane during that is so good. Its the best I've ever seen mode 7 look on the SNES
>>12039670Such were the trilas of live. Good game actually as was Microsofts combat flight sim.
>>12039798>trials of life.A lot of the fliught sims on PC were BIG box games that came with outainns of stuff. There was practically a book in with the MS flight sim
No one has mentioned IL-2 Sturmovik yet? Come on, guys.
how was it overall? which games had the best/worst performance? the only one i can remember playing was mk deception on ps2. i had purchased the broadband adapter to play resident evil outbreak with my brother while he was at college but his network blocked gaming. i think this was the only other game i ever played online on ps2. it fucking sucked. connection wise as well as picrel was a completely broken character that could spam a lightning fast special that popped you up. unblockable. you had to predict and jump over it. everyone picked this character and spammed it. i could not believe they released the game with a character like that! not even kabal in mk3 was this bad. i dont really see people talk about playing fighters online in this era much on /vr/. did it just suck?
>>12039878GWED was pretty sick, even on a 56k connection. Probably helped that packet transfer was a fraction of what it would later become.

On this day, September 17th, Silent Hill 4: The Room was released on PS2 in Europe, 21 years ago.Say something nice about it, /vr/.
>>12039724how come this video has 1 million views in 8 months
>>12039796Probably traffic cause of Silent Hill f.
Love the first half, the second half makes me want to kill myself.
The real horror is the backtracking.

Chrono trigger is not grabbing me.
>>12039695/thread
>>12039686i beat it recently for the first time and i can tell you it doesnt get betterthe combat system itself is pretty cool but its way too easy and the whole game is just walking 5 steps and getting locked into encounters
>>12039686I played it a long time ago but it never grabbed me either. Same with ff6. Now surprisingly I was fully gripped llaying linda cubed so 2d style jrpgs aren’t necessarily terrible as some might lead you to think
>>12039695I only played it last year and loved it, was 33OP is probably a jaded faggot
>>12039776I play a lot of old rpgs. I genuinely can see that it's a good game I just think I'm not interested in the setting right now, I'm kind of on a straight fantasy vibe these days, so the tech stuff is just not grabbing me. And while the combat system is definitely dynamic I'm just less interested in combat these days and more in story and simple combat because I am a grandpa I guess
What was like to experience Spaceworld/E3 back in the day? Was it more hype than today's counterparts? Have you ever went personally to one of these events? Did you get to play anything there?
>>12039510of course it was more hype, 3d graphics and were still new and new and innovative game mechanics were still being invented instead of yet another tired rehash of something from 15-25 years ago
>>12039526yeah i remember being confused about what it even was but you see it in magazines
>>12039510What was it like to fuck your momma in the ass?A BLAST
>>12039510Big conferences were always a fucking bore whether e3, comdexm cebit, winhec or whatever, Shitty meetings with marketing drones and presentations
>>12039541Improve your own country instead.
I never use "fix" hacks. Even though they might be objectively an improvement, it just ain't the same experience.
QoL hacks are for the weak
>>12036402There is not how text works. All characters, letters, symbols, doesn't matter if it's 5 T ' @ ] = or > are identical in a text string. It was done deliberately.
>>12036363>>12036402
>>12039847Is this bug what spurned that commie rewrite of the story?
>>12039857I mean the game was always about concepts like class warfare and political subterfuge, but I am kinda worried about how garbage the new script is going to be. Why can't we just have a cleaned up version of the PSX one bros....
what's the best Star Wars retro game?
I swear I got the scream in your own voice monlogue on PAL Star wars battlefront 2 on the PS2 but the interenet says it was only in the demo but I never had the demo. Wrong time line again.
>>12039072Battlefront I is more polished.
>>12039207lmao
>>12039072A big part of it is the maps and units - the maps in I are much (much) better than those in II, but also I prefer the units and just how the game plays generally. I don't care much for II 'unlocking' of units or even really playing as the 'heroes' I just want to be able to pick whatever I think is fun at that time and go off.
Just mentioning star wars empire at war if you like RTS
