So today finally had the time to install my PicoStation and i have it working, it boots to the menu and all thats left is soldering the microsd adapter which is on its way, should be delivered this week.I used Megavolt's RC5 fork and I have some questions that i cant find much info about.1 - if i perform the overclock mod, does the console or anything get hotter or is there any risk of some IC dying from the extra stress?2 - how do i enable firmware updates from the microsd card so i dont have to open the console to update it? i found some videos where they say i need to flash one firmware and then create a folder named UPDATE on the root of the sdcard and it will automatically update from there but those videos are in spanish or huehue language and its not clear what should i do.any help appreciated.
If your games werk and play fine I wouldn't bother updating firmware ever again.
>>12802680devs are adding compatibility fixes and features so im pretty sure im gonna have to update it a few times.
>>12802704If all the games you play work, why would you bother mucking with firmware? You're just asking to break something that is working.

>>12801841Yes, but there's two ways of patching it, one that works on all systems including unhacked ones (and autolaunches on DSi) or the one that only works on hacked systems. The former requires you to get some development kit file and use it, the latter just works out of the box. Pretty much anything you get from any Chinese source will have the former, any western source will be the latter.

Donkey kong and ms pacman are undeniably 2nd gen games, ported to every late 2nd gen console (with excellent celecovision port of dk especially). They just happened to get later ports on NES/which were barely better and far from arcade quality. Ms pacman had a better port on genesis, and an arcade perfect port on playstation.

One of the most popular CAVE games is Mushihimesama and there is a variation known as Blue Label even though officially it's called Mushihimesama Cave Matsuri Ver. 1.5. There was an official arcade PCB released around 2006 or 2007 and there are known owners currently but they do not want to dump the ROM for whatever reason.There was a PC port that includes this Ver. 1.5 and and the PS2 arrange mode as well. Is it possible to extract a ROM file from a PC port? I am curious if there are examples where a PC game port is released and the ROM is extracted to play on emulators and specifically I am wondering about arcade game ROMs.I doubt anyone here actually knows the answer but I'll try here anyway.
>>12801140>are examples where a PC game port is released and the ROM is extracted to play on emulatorsYes, this happens all the time. Not just for PC versions either.
ok so if you have a unshackled xbox 360 like mineyou just use ISO2god on the file and the output is a x360 game with the correct structure to run from a hardrive connected to your x360, you just need to get the aurora app on first obviously
>>12801156>>12801174This is a good idea but I was asking about extracting the ROM only because it's much easier to play the game on MAME or Retroarch than to use original hardware. I guess you could emulate the xbox360 but then you can't really do that on a low powered PC and it's probably even harder to do on a phone. If you had the Blue Label ROM you could run it on any phone even low powered.>>12801163That's a good point, and I honestly don't know. I've always thought that the reason this is the case is because every arcade PCB is different and many different chips need to be dumped and the emulator needs a lot of information, like much more than other emulators. This is why the ROM files are always a zip archive with multiple files. However from my understanding, this Blue Label is CAVE SH3 hardware or CV1000 so I can't imagine it would be difficult to run this since it's probably the same as the original Mushihimesama. My elementary understanding is that this is more like a romhack and so you could just rename the files to match the original mushihimesama. If I remember correctly, when saidaioujou was dumped, MAME devs made it impossible to run but if you renamed some files it worked>>12801169Can you give some examples please?
bump
>>12801169Yeah that's what I fucking thought. You can't name a single example. I knew it.
POV: You're Samus.
>>12801332That's a common misconception. The Metroid is the name of the scientist who made the suit. The suit's name is Adam Malkovich.
Metroid is a cool guy that saves his girlfriend Samus from the evil space emperor Ripley.He even lets you see his gf pose sexy when you bet the game fast enough.
>>128013251 and 3 are better but 2 is still good I reckon. Having to stay in the light in the dark world is a bit annoying at the start but after 2 hours or so you have enough energy to not have to worry about it as much, and you get the dark suit pretty early. There's 4 regions, but agon wastes and temple grounds look fairly similar. There's more bosses than in 1 too and they're more complex. It feels like you don't have to switch weapons as much as in 1 too because most regular enemies can be killed with any weapon whereas 1 had those annoying colored enemies.The main problem with 2 for me is the constant going back and forward between light and dark worlds, it starts becoming tedious. For some powerups and stuff you have to go between light/dark world like 4 or 5 times in a row and it just adds to the backtracking, especially when you walk all the way to some location in the light world then realise you need to be there in the dark world and have to walk all the way back again to find a portal.
>>12802031This, Metroid is the orange robot, Samus is his girlfriend.
Metroid is actually just Samus' identification when she rides the metro.

What's the deal with south american fightcade players and their use of macros?I'm not great at fighting games by any means but I play offline events occasionally in Japan (I live there) against seasoned vets who are amazing and I rarely get a round. Yet the hues on fightcade hit frame perfect combos every time on a shit WiFi connection. Some combos are tas only because of having to use multiple directional inputs. I'm not mad or anything, I find it kind of entertaining seeing what kind of macro jank I will get hit with. But what satisfaction do they get from it? I seriously don't get it.
>>12801259Mind giving us examples so we don't think you're just crying about losing?
>>12801259>What's the deal with south american fightcade players and their use of macros?They just don't care. You are not a person to them. To them the "fun" of fightcade is not about having a good match or learning the game, it's making gringos seethe.
It's not just south american players. There are a handful of players from North America and Europe who use them, and the tell about it is they never, ever play ranked or use the chat window. Why? Hard to say. Guilt maybe, or wary of being called as a cheater by "name" players. They do enjoy occasionally sending a non-confirmatory :) message if you accuse of them cheating, as duper's delight gets the better of them.

It's clear you're young and clear that I've been on 4chan for too long because of the memes I posted. I posted the "im almost enjoying my anger" meme which is old as fuck and then I called this place a Chilean kite flying forum. Those are two old ass memes that prove I was around at least 10 years ago, and you're clearly barely 18 or worse a fucking tourist. Thank you for the realization that only zoomers call others zoomers, now I know whenever that occurs it's simply a deflection so that nobody will suspect it is you who is the zoomer.

If you've only played the PAL version, you didn't beat the game.
>>12799580'murican Mario's weighed down carrying double the amount of gold, so it's not a fair comparison.
>>12798953PAL Mario Bros on NES is better than NTSC Mario Bros on NES.
>>12801315Just for clarification, I'm talking about the ORIGINAL Mario Bros without "Super" in the title. PAL Classic Series has larger sprites and retains the icicles while the NTSC original's sprites are anemic and have no icicles whatsoever. (There's also mid-air jump control, if that puts you off.)
>>12799702You mean weighed down carrying double the amount of fat.
>>1279895350Hz optimization was always a mistake. Slower but correct is always preferable to faster but a broken mess. Its mathematically impossible to optimize a 60hz game for 50hz without some kind of compromise. Black bars should be fixed on 50hz though. Its stupid how many 50Hz "optimized" games never fixed the one thing that is actually compromise free to fix.
I've investigated each claim from both sides of the idea and I've reached a conclusion that made the most sense. So let's start with the suspects...Sega's debt & past failures -This one is the most common, but it falls flat on the surface since Saturn did do better than the Dreamcast, just not in North America. On the flip side of that coin, Dreamcast did better than the Saturn in North America. If past failures like the 32X had any affect, then neither of these consoles would sale the amount of units as it did. Had Sega stayed in the race for both Saturn and Dreamcast, we'd at least see 20 to 30 million units sold each in it's lifespan. Remember the Virtual Boy was a failure too but it didn't hurt Nintendo at all, but they still underperformed against Sony with the N64 and Gamecube. Sega did the financially wise decision and pulled out when the console wasn't performing to expectations. Were they in debt? Sure, but they got out of it eventually.PS2 hype - The PS2 was barely out when the Dreamcast was dying. To blame it on hype of the PS2 is like blaming Nsync for killing the Backstreet Boys momentum by stealing their idea, despite the fact that the Backstreet Boys are still together selling records to this day while Nsync is Xstinct now.Piracy - This one is the big one and the most controversial one that ends up in heated debates. The Mil-CD exploit and CD-R's accessibility were huge factors leading to Dreamcast exiting the console race. Attachment rates were more or less an excuse to deflect blame off of piracy. But if attachment rates were a metric, then it should be higher than a 6:1 or 7:1 attachment rate. That narrative falls flat when sales for games started flatlining once piracy became available. However if "attachment rates" were a factor, only the most loyal of Dreamcast owners bought the games officially. Every cheapskate pirate owned a PC or at least knew a friend who had a CD burner.Piracy Killed The Dreamcast (continued in next reply)

Earthbound is the only good JRPG Other JRPGs have faggot fans who try to convince themselves they like a game just to belong to a community while Earthbound is a genuinely good and relaxing game the best JRPG of all time
>>12802150>How would someone even know that much about it without playing it themselves?90% of the English-speaking fanbase are Undertale/Deltarune kiddies who automatically like Earthbound/Mother because Toby Fox said it was good. They do this despite actually hating the games, if they've played them at all.
>>12802176I've always found that strange, because Undertale and Mother have completely different gameplay from one another.
>>12802179Which is probably why they hate them and use cheats to beat them.
>>12802183JRPGs are more of a story-first genre anyway, so I can see people doing that.

Was Simon actually based on Arnold/Conan?I've seen artwork that definitely looks like that's the case but wondering if there's ever been confirmation.
>>12802420I think Simon is just supposed to be based on the Barbarian archetype in general and Conan especially his adaptations just so happen to be very influential to that archetype I mean he's an old ass character.
>>12802685Oh yeah and that list isn't mine I just can't be assed to make a collage of different Simons.
