VGA output on a famiclone? How do the Chinese know me better than American designers?
>>12844282you say only retarded chilldren use vga? you seem like the embodiment of evil to slander such a good interface.
>>12843680Retards fucked up the video levels so bad that an American had to fix their shitty "engineering"
>>12844487This relies on the hypothetical scenario that a CRT monitor does not have brightness or contrast adjustments, which was a completely contrived scenario. His fix would have increased the cost of the device, thus depriving our Chinese friends of $1.
>>12844487...by removing the vga port
>>12844498the point is that the levels were out of spec, having adjustments or device termination is just solving for stupid>>12844513did you watch the video? he removed the VGA port because he wanted composite
Damn this shit sucks now. It became great two years ago but now I need a NASA computer to run the recent versions because muh accurate effects or something.

He's just fishing for annoyed responses so he can ignore them and toss out more simple bait to see if people still respond.

I love the GBA sound chip. pure early 2000s feelshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3_lxUW-fEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YONKhHMi23whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai3Lr-Sgyuwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS_rn1ZlCx4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFWOvIrBCgc
>>12842428then how does it make sound
>>12842705With the power of friendship!
>>12842705>>12842717Through its speakers
>>12842705Regular operation is just feeding two channels of CPU built PCM signals through a DAC (similar to how integrated motherboard audio works). It also has a GB APU for backwards compatibility, although some GBA games also use it.

I'm at the library, I found some books and things and read the entries. I defeated the basilisk, that was actually a lucky fight. But now when I try to leave there's a spectre. He just KILLS any character he manages to hit. I'm going to try to cast bless and protection from evil on the party next time. If that doesn't work I might be soft-locked, you can't leave the library once you take the books and there's no way to put them back either. Everybody is level 1 still. This is a real pickle.
>>12842431this is why the game has 10 save slots btw
>>12844350It has one save disk. I should have made several and alternated between them.
>>12844104Original Dnd. Anti-Clerics are essentially a class of their own since they function so differently from Clerics, and the balance of the game essentially tries to build up Evil High Priests (level 8 anti-clerics) as the appropriate final bosses of a campaign.
>>12844369On the save disk you can save in slots A-J though
>>12844448Not on the C64 version you can't.
You've bitched and complained, and we've heard your cries, so now you get to experience Sierra adventure games at your leisure, so you can cry and bitch at your own convenience!You can now play some of the classic Sierra adventure games in your browser, for free, with saves. King's Quest 4 and 5 are still in the works, as is Quest for Glory 1, but you can experience Leisure Suit Larry 1 and 5, Police Quest 3, Space Quest 4, and an assortment of other niche games.
>>12844336I wondered that too, looks like all the SCI games need more free RAM than the C64 had available even if you get rid of the KERNAL and BASIC routines. This porting engine produces a cartridge so the game can fit on a C64. Maybe Sierra just didn't want to spend the cash to produce 1-2MB carts back then, would have been pretty expensive.
>>12844367Ok that makes sense. They make more profit getting people to buy it for the PC or Apple ][ they use for work/ school.
>>12844378I just suspect they didn't want to go to the trouble of creating a port of their engine that used the C64's graphics and sound to the fullest, which would entail a lot of custom compared to Apple and IBM as lacked sprites and enhanced graphics to the extent C64 has them. I think the engine just "dumbly" takes the vector graphics data and blits it to the screen on all platforms. Maybe it just looked / performed too shit on C64 for them? Apple II versions of AGI games require 128k so maybe that was some part of the issue too.The modern AGI engine for C64 uses the Commodore's hardware more fully and has SID SFX and music. Looks and sounds great.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMmDrlhX_ho
>>12844414Pretty cool this works at all, it seems like it really struggles with the redraw rate when multiple things are changing at the same time. Love the sounds!
>>12844450I should try it at a faster CPU speed, see if that helps or if it messes everything up. With some games it seems to work great, others things get fouled up on the screen or you get crashes.
This was the very first game that broke me. I vividly remember breaking down and crying like a little bitch playing this game and my parents pulling me away from it as I punched the glass of our TV after falling the millionth time.
>>12841940You need to learn to get good. Raging mostly comes from people who play without thinking and get pissed off when that doesn't work like the game should owe them the mindless victory. The only reason why "raging" was a meme on /v/ circa 2010 was because of those self proclaimed hardcore gamers who actually really sucked, I mean what is there to rage about in a fucking 7th gen game.
>>12842127Yes, the game would certainly be easier if they had made it easier.
>>12842127There are 4 extra lives in the first level
>>12842468You need to cope less, some games were genuinely broken and badly designed.
>>12841940Taking breaks helps. Give the game a week/two weeks/whatever to cool off.If I'm still mad after all that time, I just drop it and play something else. Video games are supposed to be fun. If you're not having fun, you have every right to stop.
Man I wanted to love this one. The artwork and the graphics are immaculate. It has one of the best scores I've heard in a videogame period. It's so close to being one of the GOATs of not just JRPGs but RPGs in general, but the character progression system ruined it for me. For comparison I've played DQ1-3 and this, haven't played any of the others yet, but it doesn't even hold a candle to 2 and 3 honestly. I wont even hold the animation slowness against it as it can be fixed with a fast forward button and a lot of it has to do with the limitations of getting this to run on the PS2, whatever. What annoyed me was the class system or lack thereof, and the shitty fucking alchemy pot the game practically forces down your throat. The Hero is a fighter, spellcaster and healer, but so is Yangus, Jessica and Angelo. There's very little separation between the characters. You'd think Yangus would be the damage dealer but the hero's falcon slash ability + oomph makes him far more powerful offensively. Jessica becomes a weak link whos always dying and just ends up using the powerful endgame items. I played most of the game without even using the alchemy pot because I hate it, then I got to that gay fucking purple bird which raped my ass 3 times before it hit the grass and so I looked up a guide and crafted some of the "essential" late game items (sage stone, tension timbral, falcon sword) only for all the subsequent bosses to be complete pushovers. I didn't even craft any armor or resistance items. The last 4 bosses just went down about halfway before I expected to and I was like "that's it?" No sense of accomplishment that I felt from 2 and 3.
Should I play the PS2 or 3ds version?
>>12841781The pacing is slower though than normal DQ up to that point and it dies come down to the unnecessary battle animations. Compare delivering an attack in DQ3 where the enemy briefly flashes to the drawn out animations in 8. Multiply that by the whole round, then the whole fight and then the whole game and you can really see how it fucks up the battle flow.
>>12841440I emulated with a 10x experience and infinite money. And I've had a blast. I beat it two times.I don't get why don't they make RPGs less hardcore grindy. People would probably play them more.Although, something not being grindy doesn't make it good or fun by default.Also I hope you're playing the western version with voice acting and the orchestral score/ soundtrack.
>>12844440*with a 10x experience and infinite money cheat.
>>12844440And also there's a cheat to cancel random encounters, and you just use the Yangus skill/ ability to whistle and it forces a random encounter.
Do you play games older than the games that you grew up with?
>>12843268Sonic spinball is fucking fun and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. Just sayin
>>12843089i've been on a pretty steady diet of emulated snes and ps1 games since the mid 2000s. theres just endless ludo between those two consoles
>>12843089My first consoles were N64 and SNES, 6th and 7th gen released as I was growing up, but I love going back to NES/Famicom in particular.
No. I grew up with gen 3 consoles and anything below them is totally unfun for me.
>>12843106My general range here is 90s and early 2000s in this case, though I'll occasionally dip into older arcades and NES. The more of those games I play the more I feel robbed.
Anyone here use sc88emu for DOS? How does it stack up against other emulations like nuked sc-55 and sc-va?
I wish FMV games never died. The acting only got better and better. Pic related's was so good most people don't even think it's a video game.
>>12844306I also occasionally watch that Youtube channel
>>12844306Which game is this? Was and am a big fan of the ps1 x files game. Only ever played that version however

Just got a game boy pocket and noticed this ''pixel bleed'' where you get quite faint dark lines going across the screen vertically. Apparently this is not fixable and is a flaw of the panel itself unlike ones where you get dead pixels.I've heard this is common, but is this on all game boy pocket's or just a lot of them? It's noticeable on mario land 2 if you want to test your own one
>tfw bought a Chromatic insteadWho's laughing now, fuckers?>inb4 the lack of pivotNot a problem on mine. I physically cannot make it register opposite directions simultaneously no matter how hard I try
>>12842116>>inb4 the lack of pivotThey have a mod kit that includes a dpad with a pivot
If it's anything like the original Gameboy, applying a soldering iron on low-heat across the ribbon cables attached to the screen will get rid of vertical lines.
>>12842160This is a different issue than what happens with original GB screens. On those, dead pixel columns/rows are caused by poor connection, which can indeed be fixed with a soldering iron or heat gun (the columns more easily than the rows). The consensus seems to be that the erroneously darkened pixel columns that line up with correctly darkened pixels on a GB Pocket screen is just an inherent issue with the display itself. I don't know if every display has it to some degree, if some develop it over time, if some were just better or worse out of the factory, or what.
>>12842003It's just at a sensible place in the middle which articulates all the 4 colors clearly, the vertical lines are quite visible on mario land 2 especially if you wanted an easy one
when I was a kid, I stuck an atari joystick up my ass
>>12843723Well duh, they would've just stuffed a PS5 controller up their ass. The uncultured savages.
>>12843629well at least it wasn't the batman or the terminator joystick
>>12843629I read this in Mike Matei's voice.
>>12843629It might be possible to move the joystick inside your ass and press the button with your balls
>>12843629I did the same and actually beat the first level of Pac Man no-hands.

>>12842857>Not sure why collectors would care about flash carts when emulators have been around for much longer.Because flash carts are a direct attack on the idea that only original hardware can deliver an authentic experienceFPGA-based approximations of console chipsets like MiSTer and Analogue are an even further psychic assault on collectorcucksAt a certain point, all it comes down to is fetishizing old plastic, cardboard, and paper
