No Virtual Boy thread? I'm having fun, I've always liked these games they're great and I'm glad people can finally try them for themselves instead of parrot a 20 year old AVGN video that's completely wrong and retarded. Happy to be able to play them again after selling my collection a few years ago.

Anyone got any tips for Teleroboxer? I can't beat the second level to save my life. You would think it played like Punch Out but it doesn't at all seems like you have to use specific kinds of blocks and counter punches but I'm struggling to understand how to know when to do what.

They should have adapted these as a cheap collection of ports for the 3DS like over a decade ago.

>>12392053
Pricegouging is what Nintendo lives by more than ever now, but these games always had their own merit.
Small library, obnoxious console to interact with, but if you ever gave the ganes an earnest shot (maybe emulating), you'd find they're mostly decent or even good, but that they mostly fail at the virtual reality gimmick and should have been SNES games instead.

I’m not even anti “paying 4 romz” but notable input lag is a fucking non negotiable.
>>
>>12390829
Turn off V Sync and see if that helps. Also put your TV in gaming mode if it has the option. MMX1 and MMX3 are hard games. MMX8 is a grind fest type game so actually play it in easy and with New Game+ you can carry over to harder difficulties. MMX6 is the hardest by far and it’s a huge power spike. Not even close. I’m replaying it and it’s way harder than I remembered and I’ve been playing the Mega Man series for 33 years.

X is much more generous with damage than the classic series. In X, you dictate the pacing, whereas in the classic series, the game dictates the pacing for you.

video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"

this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups

I'm not "good at games" but I did notice it was rather difficult to control when I tried a model 3 emulator.

>>12391278
They didn't outsource shit, they licensed their tech and Yu Suzuki then reduced it to a $50 texturizer chip they could slap on the Model 1 (which was in-house). It's why Model 1 and 2 had serious limitations like needing checkerboard rendering to do transparency.

Saturn was just a System 32 (same as how Genesis was a System 16) with a hack for it to display freely distorted sprites, making it fast enough to mimic polygons. But it still processed everything by going through every pixel of a texture and then drawing it, instead of drawing every pixel of a polygon and then putting a texture on it (the difference being that for the former, every polygon takes as many memory reads as the texture which is wasteful, for the latter you need only as many texture reads as you will display).

Let's have a thread for Super Mario World music, that is, other music/songs remade using the SMW soundfont.

The synth around 3:05 reminds me of the plucky synth sound from the SMW overworld map music. It sounds throughout the whole song really but yiu can hear it more prominently at that part
>>
https://youtu.be/ajYLHvFL0sU?si=M0C75mTdx4q-XB8v
I'm still not sure how to take this.
Apparently it's a recreation of the OST from zero made by fans using the original synth sounds that Koji Kondo used, but I dunno... It still sounds very faithful though
>>
>>12391595
not quite what the thread was for, but on-topic enough I guess
Yeah, the "restored" series that Church of Kondo was doing, was specifically finding the original synths/samples used to create the music with, and making a full-quality recreation of it. Since, of course, the songs had to be heavily compressed to fit onto the SNES cartridges, they'd be all compressed, so the point here is essentially un-compressing the audio to full quality by recreating it with the source audio samples.

Taki's company seems to be marketing the SuperStation One as a product that will actually be frequently restocked and shipped out on a regular basis, unlike their other projects. People who emailed the company or asked on Discord about the current SS1 batches were told everything up to and including Batch 3 is expected to be shipped by the end of March and some people got their Founder's Edition orders in the last few weeks. Things are probably slowed down for Chinese New Year but will probably speed up by the end of the month They also said the Mister Pi will be back in stock eventually but they are focusing on SS1 for now. No idea about the Switch OLED screen mods.
