You can get infinite Genji stuff through the coliseum with the exception of the Genji Helmet, though you can easily get three of those, five if you bet the game's two Red Caps (not advisable). Also, Mog is far from useless.

I remember the first time I played FF6, getting Edgar, and steamrolling with the auto-crossbow and I was just sitting there with my mouth hanging open.

>... this is the game?
>What are all these other characters for then?
>Why does Terra have MP and a magic attack that costs a resource, meanwhile the Auto-crossbow is just better and is for free? Why?

It pissed me off so much I actually put the game down, didn't touch it again for a few years. Tried it again. Got over the auto-crossbow and kept going, go the the World of Ruin and thought it was neat but lacked direction, which I guess was the point. Just go do whatever I wanted, when I wanted, if I wanted.

I guess I just like more linear progression...?

Not him but im coincidentally playing both of these games at the same time. FF6 GBA version on my phone (I beat the SNES version before) and FFX on PS2 (got filtered by Braska’s Final Aeon, gonna give it another go tonight)
>>
>>12889268
Yeah, the character balance is kinda all over the place. Some characters suck early on but get better later, while others are strong through the whole game.

How come it doesn't feel like shit to control despite running at like 20 fps?

You are struggling I know. That green text isn’t accurate in any way. I mentioned that technique first in this thread here >>12887189. It’d not even worth laughing at the rest, I’m starting to feel sad for you.
Where did you get in your head that was a game of legendary difficulty that could not be beaten by an average kid in the 90s? Why double down on your mistake anyway? Just move on.

But Phantasmagoria 2 is a relatively early example of a bisexual player character, struggling to figure his sexuality out, and it features a pretty good and evenhanded portrayal of a diva-gay dude.
>>
>>12889147
This was the 90's, anon. Sex and violence was right wing at the time.
>>
>>12888409
my recollection of phantasmagoria is that it's a pretty cool vibe but as a game is an absolute sierra monstrosity, more ball breaking than king's quest V.
>>
>>12889649
Plenty of right wing boomers also bitched and cried about sex and violence in entertainment at the time. Remember also all the weird shit about Pokémon and Harry Potter being secret devil worship.

I noticed the new OpenCE recomp has online play. I set up my old copy of the game with the HaloMaps servers a couple years ago but was disappointed to see almost no one playing. Has anyone tried online with the new OpenCE decomp, is it more active? Asking before i spend an afternoon setting it up.

I'm playing it right now it's amazing and the definitive version of CE. Multiplayer is active you can even play co-op online.
>>
>>12885692
Spent the 4chan downtime checking out OpenCE, it's pretty fucking good.
Played a co-op campaign with like 30 people last night and some dude was playing classic nu-metal during the whole thing. It almost felt like Sven Co-op going thru the campaign with so many people. It was fucking kino. Someone even has a nigger-rigged version of Infection running.
Almost nobody has the PC maps installed, so the most active lobbies are co-op and the default Xbox maps. I also haven't figured out how to get Custom Edition maps to work like Coldsnap or Hugeass, I just get a blue screen and have to Alt+F4 out of the game.
All said, I like it more for Halo CE than MCC and way more than the Gearbox port.
>>
>>12889614 (Me)
>I also haven't figured out how to get Custom Edition maps to work
It was because I used the bitmaps.map, sounds.map and loc.map from Halo PC instead of Custom Edition. Easy fix.

>The Dreamcast controller has no rumble?!
This anon >>12885437 is correct: the DC pad had no rumble. However, he fails to mention that a) that was an issue with several other consoles (N64 didn't have built-in rumble either); b) it was due to some random company doing patent camping on built-in rumble in the US. Console makers offered a separate rumble pack (which carried the royalties) for their controllers, sort of like how OG Xbox-era Microsoft put all the DVD playback royalties in the Xbox remote pack.

This was only resolved when Sony brute-forced the issue by releasing Dualshocks with built-in rumble in the US, and litigated that company into submision via lawfare: "We will lose every single time, but we have more money for our lawyers than you; remember what happened to Aureal". That company eventually relented around 2008 or 2009 (though Sony were blocked by some US court from releasing the Dualshock 3 around the time of PS3 launch, hence that lame SixAxis).

My snes power jack broke like picrel but while I was waiting to repair it I tried to use a different 12V 2A DC adapter but I think I shorted out the little pole thingys because now it doesn't turn on at all, did it blow a fuse or something or did I just permanently fry the entire fucking thing and have to buy another one?

Almost finishing this. Despite some retarded design choices (not being able to farm for 2 seasons) and barely having any content after the first year, I enjoyed it.
Should I play 64 or back to nature next?

So I take it the retro bubble isn't going to pop any time soon. You were either a millennial growing up in the 80s or you're a poorfag forever basically.

The reason that stuff is valuable is because hardly anybody held on to a lot of it, or if they did, it wasn't kept in good condition. There's probably a bunch of "garbage" now that Gen Z and Alphies grew up with/are growing up with that will be valuable in the future, it just remains to be seen what it is.

I tried this game a while back and it felt like a modern day shitpost. Shrek moves like fucking Sonic and he literally farts as an attack.

It's better than the GBC fighting game at least.

This shit goes from 8/10 to 6/10 at best the instant hovering gets introduced. Let's force the player to grind for resources, but not just that make sure it's a only a really fucking annoying medusa head enemy that drops it, make sure the drop rate is about 5%, lastly make sure this atrocious mechanic is interrupted by taking damage, then put tons of enemies off screen so they get hit and have to waste their time again. Fuck this shit, most justified use of Game Genie in history.

>thinking hover is the worst powerup
Wall 2 is far worse and makes the final level infinitely more infuriating than it should have.
>>
>>12888593
I remember pressing A locked your aim in your current direction while moving which makes it a lot more manageable. I don't think even the manual explained this even though I'm pretty sure some bosses are impossible without it.
But yeah, the way the upgrades work is just retarded. Maybe if they worked better they would be calling the genre Metroidblaster nowadays.
>>
>>12888886
>>12888978
I remember there being spots where you could literally softlock yourself in the terrain of the final level, ending your game and forcing you to reset.

not retro but the remake is really fucking good, play that instead

>>12888164
i could have forgiven all that, but the problem is that hovering itself sucks. Its such a letdown.

>bsnes produces identical results, for free
Identical when you compare the frames in isolation, but it's impossible to get bsnes to output at the correct frame rate, you either have to sync to your display and get a speed error or you don't and get weird frame pacing. Plus I hope you aren't using the bsnes core in retroarch because you're getting 60Hz input not remotely sync'd to the core.

There's a difference but you don't understand it. Software emulators are closer to being simulation than hardware reimplemenations that are intended to be an accurate replacement to the original system. Neither are simulation.

I used to have one of these when I was a kid, I'm not sure what ever happened to it but it was like 25 years ago so whatever.

Games I remember playing with it:
>Conflict: Freespace
>Army Men Air Attack
>Microsoft Flight Simulator
>B Hunter (I seem to be the only person who's ever heard of this game but it was pretty cool)
>some WW2 dogfighting game that I can't remember the name of

I also used to play a load of games with it that weren't suited to it because I was a kid. I remember getting Snes9x and the joystick was basically my only controller aside from the keyboard so I'd play Smash TV multiplayer with my friend.
