Underrated as fuck, the best classic Mega Man. The graphics are phenomenal, the stages are creative, and the upgrade system offers a lot of replayability.

The game didn't had a full year if development, though, nice attempt at a gotcha. When Aizu and Tsuda left with the X2/MM7 to form Inti Creates, that threw a spanner in the works, X3 had to be outsourced and 8 didn't materialize until they had enough in-house new hires to replace the old staff who left, on top of sharing attention with the planning stages of Legends and pre-planning with X4, which was the same staff, pre-Arcade division merging.
Nice also to ignore what is known as to why tricks and secrets were made, as confirmed by MM2's TOM PON in regards to the birds replacing stars trick or Metal Man dying by his own weapon, tricks and secrets for the sake of further magazine coverage. I only added the possibility of a glitch given it has happened before (BN2's Pinecone grenade + Prism instakill glitch)

did i beat the game?

These parts are supposed to make an N64 control stick like new, but these values are the same as one of my old worn controllers. The stick is good and tight. I can't figure out what is keeping it from reaching the edges.

The parts are cheap, but only if you live in the US or buy in bulk. Overall I wouldn't recommend them.

I don't even have it in me anymore to explain why everyone in this thread is wrong. it's just never going to happen because the consumer just isn't aware how off all of these sticks are. you can't even reach full running speed in a number of games like winback with the sticks mentioned. having a stick that is five degrees off or more in any direction is like having a high mutational load. it might not cause the game to feel different it might be a little or a lot, and that's the biggest problem with them. if your not constantly comparing how a game FEELS not the precision, but how it FEELS with a real and non worn OEM controller to the garbage recommended in this thread you won't even know. most people will just assume it's a janky piece of shit fifth gen game. just know that if a game doesn't feel great to you in the controls it could be the controller that your using.

How the fuck does the hall effect stick feel wrong you absolute nigger
>>
>>11114628
>you can't even reach full running speed in a number of games like winback with the sticks mentioned
Are you supposed to?
N64 developer docs specify that devs should expect the stick to never reach above 63 with an even more pitiful 47 in the diagonals. That's not even half the possible stick range.
Some developers ignored these instructions and either didn't care thus requiring third party sticks for certain intended game mechanics or they didn't realize third party sticks can go way above Nintendo original sticks and thus cause issues like moving too fast.

I think the PC version of this and some other Tony games were pretty rare to begin with, like THUG1 PC was only released in Australia for reasons.

I don't think anyone gives af because THUG Pro is allowed to exists and almost every youtuber just tells or straight up gives a link to pirate THUG2 to play the mod.

You could easily buy a used copy for PS2, GameCube, or whatever. Just say you want to pirate it. Trying to give some morally justified reason is cringe. I pirate because I don't want to pay and it's easy

just whichever you feel like playing at the time. back then, we didn't drip feed an entire game to completion before starting the others.

if emulating, i'd also recommend version controlling your saves using something like git, especially if you're in the habit of using states instead of in-game saves

>Makes the best early 80s video games AND pinball machines
No one could stop them at their peak
Joust and Robotron 2084 are masterpieces of video game design, they truly and deeply UNDERSTOOD the medium from the moment they started making them. Also Black Knight (1980) is still my second favorite pinball machine after Medieval Madness (also Williams)

When you buy retro games, do you delete the save file? There's some charm to seeing how far the previous owner got. But using save slot 3 or going out of my way to preserve their save feels kinda like a cuck. But if I delete it, it's gone forever. You guys think I should wipe the previous owner's save file?

I do delete them, but before I do so, I make sure to explore the previous save file as much as I can out of curiosity.

I bought a bunch of DS Pokemon games over the past couple years and was kinda disappointed that none of them had completed save files on them. Most of them were only like 1 hour into the game.

It was basic. There was some fun to be had playing against your friends in games like "combat." We would then go outside and play because after 2 minutes you've seen everything the game had to offer. There were a few exceptions like Pitfall 2, however. I still have my childhood 2600 and games but I never revisit it. Its permanently in the back of the storage closet.

Real Chads had an Apple 2, which was much better for gaming than the 2600. The Atari 800 and C64 were there too if you were a retarded child, but only the Apple 2 offered the real personal computer experience. The Japanese PC-8801 is also an underrated system that you might want to look into.

8-bit Apple ][ computers had interesting graphics for its time, but was on par with the TRS-80 model 1 and Model III when it came to sound generation. Atari 8 bit always had a built-in sound chip, unlike 8-bit Apple ii sounds from a speaker. Unless, that is, you could afford to buy a cricket or Mockingboard module that went inside an expansion slot under the top casing.

A thread for everything involving hacking your PS2.
I have a question, I usually use OPL 1.1.0 for everything but it doesn't recognize ZSO games, I tried one of those "nightly" builds (the Jay-Jay ones) and they recognize and play ZSO files but some of my games dont work on that build (like Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Crash Nitro Kart for example), I tried disabling PADEMU and other settings but it still doesn't work (games freeze on a black screen).
What can I do?
