>every character in Magical Drop is named after tarot cards
>Lovers is represented as a 3 y/o girl and her pet pig

Did anyone at Data East even bother to check and look up what that word actually meant?

I see, so it makes sense to associate young characters with them. Speaking of which, 1995 was a year of the pig, so they must have been popular around the development of TSS and MD3.

Nah, there was an "adapter" (actually a VCS-in-a-cart using the 5200 just for I/O) but it only worked out of the box with the newer 5200 models, the older ones (with the 4 controller ports) could be modded to support it.
>>
>>12803013
Atari actually included a flyer with it that told the buyer they could ship their adapter to them to be modified to work with the older systems.

Neat, I didn't know that. The mods I've seen are done on the 5200 itself.

>>12803047 (me)
I replied too quickly, it seems you had to bring the 5200 console for the Atari tech service to mod, not the adapter.

The floppy joystick was the standard for PC gaming of the time period, which was seemingly based off of RC plane and car remotes. It wasn't quite as silly of a design as it is often considered.

What is the current state of PS2 Homebrew & Hacking?
I've seen a bunch of launchers and shit, but I have no idea which one to use (I have a Slim SCPH 90001 with opentuna & retrolauncher that I haven't used in years, was thinking of playing something on it).
I also saw that snesticle is finally getting updated.

If you are familiar with the mechanics of the
1e ADND engine, most of the Gold Box
Games are incredibly easy to cheese through
Its why you dont waste magical bolts and
Always memorize spells that CC over ones
That simply do direct damage.
Its also why the later games which switched
to the 3E engine are even easier to cheese
since you can literally use the old Gleemax
threads from over twenty years ago to
Auto-resolve most fights. Hell even that shit
pile Ruins of Myth Drannor can be beaten
with anti-magic cheese by simply making a
party thats built around the tripping cheese

Yes, there's slowdown. Overclocking the emulated CPU helps, but at least with the FM audio it leads to sound glitches.

Please keep it a secret, as I am hoping to attend one of the 3 US stops for the Chrono Orchestra this October. I have friends in each of the US cities, but have not gotten tickets yet, so leave room for me as I hope to keep scalpers away. The music boxes commemorating the event are pretty special.

How do you get into this series?
Metal Slug 1-5 is pretty straightforward, you can just use an arcade emulator such as FinalBurn Neo, but Metal Slug 6 and 7 has been a bit of a pain.
The original MS6 on Atomiswave can only be emulated by Flycast, but my results were terrible. Sprites get corrupted all the time and I'm not sure if it's possible to fix this by tinkering with the settings.
MS7 is native to the DS inb4 not retro with a following enchanted port to the PSP... and it has input delay, what the hell? Press a button way too fast and it might not even register.
And this apparently is a recurring problem with many ports, the Metal Slug Anthology seems like it would be a legal and ideal solution, but guess what? Input delay.
>>
>>12802969
There's unironically no reason to play the series beyond X and 3 though. It just became Metal Slop after that.
