Making an all-digital version of a strange hybrid game was a really good idea. The physics felt passable.
Pretty damn brutal for a game about a baby though, especially before you get a feel for it. Ghosts making U-turns is some shit.

which emulator you using? Emu7800 is garbage and wont recognize the game file.

I just realized I got past the 100 mark: I have beaten 104 SNES games.

Last ones being Axelay (normal difficulty) and Breath of Fire II (which I found to be rather bland).

If you want a challenging, polished game that actually requires you to try a little bit, you need ActRaiser 2. If you want a delightfully unusual game that drips with atmosphere, you need ActRaiser 1. If you want both at once, you need some other series entirely because this one won't suffice. There are good reasons to prefer each game in this series over the other. There are probably not good reasons for you, personally, to continue posting on this board in the near future.

The most obvious step to take from there is DKC 2. Demon's Crest has a lot of the appeal of Super Metroid, though unfortunately there isn't nearly enough of it. (But there might still be more than you notice at first, so explore it well.) SimCity is surprisingly full of charm. Classic Konami action with extremely good soundtracks: Castlevania IV, Gradius III, Contra III. Classic Capcom action: Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Mega Man X. One more Square JRPG with extremely high production value to go with your Final Fantasies: Rudra no Hihou (with the fan translation). Ogre Battle might be the best game ever for you if you're one of the very few lucky people who can get into discovering its arcane mysteries, but you probably aren't. Odds and ends that some will find highly lovable: Tetris Attack, Super Mario Kart, Uniracers, E.V.O., Earthworm Jim (Genesis version has an extra level, but the graphics and sound are crappier so screw that version).

If anyone's into MetroidVanias, and also happens to like Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Game Boy, and Spider-Man on Game Boy Color are usually titles that pass people by, that they might've enjoyed it. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is perfect if you want something short, though it's cryptic at the start, my advice is that the manual does give you a hint, in one of the images its got, after that things open up a lot more, and this ends up being a short and sweet adventure. Spider-Man feels more like any more modern MetroidVania, it's longer and the world is bigger, be ready to get lost in a pretty difficult sewer though, more than once... it was still great though, a great port of the excellent Neversoft titie, with a darker take on the story's atmosphere aswell.

The game was released in 1995, when Pentium processors were just beginning to enter regular people's homes. Activision claimed MW2 required Pentium 75 for smooth gameplay (the minimum requirements were some 486SX, I believe), remember that Computer Chronicles episode with MW2 demo terribly lagging on a brand new P75? However, even P100 wasn't enough (unless you had a Voodoo card, which wouldn't be released until almost two years later). In 1997 I moved from 486DX2 to P133, 16 MB with a 1MB video card, and MW2 was absolutely not impressed with my configuration.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos trilogy. Great games, though it was nearly impossible to acquire all cards without importing full decks.

Also, I remember there were mods that included other characters like Marik with their respective decks.

The boxy design, though awkward, is harmless. And they removed the wrong buttons from the SNES design. As people have repeatedly explained above your post, they needed to remove A and X, but instead they removed X and Y.

I have a dogbone controller from the AV Famicom and its a shame, cause the dpad its really good, feels better then the one made for the NES and Famicom which sore's your thumbs, but the button placement wouldnt been THAT bad if the buttons were bigger.
>>
I'll never understand how people who complain about the NES controller "digging into your hands" hold the thing. I've never had that problem.
But since I genuinely believe most posters have never gotten good at video games in their life, I believe this starts with not holding controllers correctly

i Like it a lot. original controller is fine but i like this one much more. the complete 93 top loader NES in general is a lot of fun. wish it had composite cables but RF is just fine. I seriously never get tired of NES. Most games outside of RPG's I can usually beat it within a weekend. hard to get that with even SNES titles

Virtual Boy cartridges are too thin so there isn't enough clearance to solder the battery socket onto the PCB, but there is enough space inside of the case that I can place the socket next to the PCB and there will be no clearance issues.

If I were to run some short wires between the socket and the pads meant for soldering a battery to the PCB, would there be any problems with resistance or anything? The wire would probably be 1 centimeter in length, maybe 1.5cm. Also, does the thickness of the wire matter?

>why not just use a battery with tabs?
I don't want to use Chinese batteries in my games. I like installing sockets so that I can use good ol Panasonic's. Also I can't find tabbed Panasonic's for sale in my country unless I order an extremely large quantity.

If you think there's no chance that the cell can pop out of a socket when you drop the cart and wipe your saves, you're retarded. Tabs are just safer.

Dark Souls trolled millions of new players by making one of the very first areas you can access full of resurrecting skeletons that you don’t get the means to permanently kill till hours later in the game (unless you know to rush the necromancers, which most people wouldn’t know on a first play through without reading a guide)
