Why is this little piece of shit SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE?! No matter where I look, it's over $200. Even if it's in the worst possible condition, full of scratches and dents, missing the charger... the price simply WILL NOT GO LOWER THAN $200. If you want one that's actually in decent shape and not missing the charger it's more like $250 to $350. I've always wanted one of these little shits, but I really don't think they're worth the prices people ask for them. Do they actually sell at these prices, or are the sellers just sitting on these listings for eternity and not actually moving them?
Gameboy micro was cool as fuck i was a fatass in school and people would give me snacks to let them play it.
I have a famicom colored one, it's ok, but tiny
>>12835627That’s bullshtI knew both rich and poor that had phones then
>>12835441The reason gba looks washed out on a ags-101, ds lite or other modern display isn't luminance, it's color gamut which was a tiny portion of srgb on original GBAs.You're right to say the gba Micro is the only backlit gba with the proper gamut, however the ds phat ALSO possesses the gba clamped gamut, and it's far more playable. Actually fits in your hand properly, has nice buttons, loud stereo speakers etc. Only downside is 1 frame of input lag and a small border. Ds Phats are also super cheap so it's a far better option.You can also check if cleanscreen has re-adopted the agb rather than ags color gamut clamp which they said they would, also has a pixel grid filter so it's a great screen for the original gba
>>12841765Also worth mentioning both Gba Micro and Ds Phat have transreflective panels which makes them very viewable outdoors and in direct sunlight, Ds Phat you can even disable the backlight on it and still see the image in the sun, which is why the screen has a lens for protection from uv rays.Transreflective panels are a lost mid 2000s technology for viewability in sunlight for lcds, eventually they just decided to make conventional panels do like 2000 nits instead and be so incredibly bright they're visible but they're great on old tech like this, a ds phat is much more viewable in the sun than a ds liteAlso here's srgb vs original screen gamut for gba if anybody is wondering what we're talking about
The Dreamcast scene has been going crazy recently. There has been some new thing to play almost every day for the past few weeks, whether its a port, a translation patch, or even servers for old games being brought back online.Recent happenings: Servers for Sega Rally 2, Sega Marine Fishing, Culdcept 2(Plus a full translation patch), Bomberman Online, Rune Jade, Pro Yakyu Team de Asobou, and Vanishing Point have all been brought back online. Sega Naomi ports are finally slowly coming out, right now we have Monkey Ball, Senko no Ronde and Cleopatra Fortune Plus with more already in development. New translations: Tokyo Bus Guide, Super Robot Taisen Alpha, Boku Doraemon, Tricolor Crise, and Segagaga. Black Matrix AD is also coming soon. Tons of random ports just keep flooding in too if you're into those: OoT, Sonic R(with online play), Runescape Classic, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, Sonic CD and Mania, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, too many to list. I also saw a video on twitter the other day of Tekken Tag Tournament which is crazy.Right now just might be the best time to be a Dreamcast fan. Come hang out, be part of the community and enjoy the greatest console of all time.
>>12840402Like I said, you have AIDS. The fact that I don't have AIDS, makes me better than you.
>>12840759Playing GTA3 and Vice City on the Dreamcast seems pointless, when the superior moddable PC version exists.>>12841684Piracy killed the Dreamcast.
>>12841694People back then needed to buy the console in order to pirate software on it. 9 Million units sold means piracy is not the top issue.
>>12838379I still want to try out Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast. How popular are the fan made servers?
>>12841719So 7 million of those 9 million Dreamcast owners were pirates? Good to know. Piracy killed the Dreamcast.
Wtf someone said this was easy like Super Mario World and it absolutely is NOT. It's fucking tough. Love the atmosphere though.
>>12835705?What does this reply have to do with my post?
>>12841226The Special Edition version of DMC3 has all of the same difficulty modes that existed in the original. DMC3SE's "Hard" mode is barely harder than Normal and it's the equivalent of the original release US Normal mode. DMC3 doesn't get actually kind of hard until you play it on DMD and have to deal with the devil trigger enemies and DMC1 is very similar in that modes before DMD don't have devil trigger enemies (and even on DMD it's time-based unlike DMC3 where several enemies dying will cause remaining ones to trigger) so only some of the bosses are kind of hard.
>>12840562It's 'easy' in that it's basically Mega Man X level instead of GnG or Contra.
>>12830906Someone on the internet lied to you? Can't be, no one lies on the internet.
>>12840562It depends on how skilled the player is. For people at the higher end of the normal range of skill, yes this game is too easy. I'd put it into the Mario category - like many (though certainly not all) Mario games, it throws excessive resources for recovery at such a player, and for the most part wouldn't even be very hard if it didn't, but is fun and interesting enough to be worth playing anyway. That said, it differs greatly from, say, SMB 3 in that it is not only easy (for a skilled player) but also SHORT, which is not as forgivable. But it is still a good game.

>>12840806If you want to get away from the zoomers, you need to focus on the subjects that have zero appeal to them. Games that can only be played through arcade emulation, games that only exist on old computers, stuff that requires more effort to emulate than downloading the emulator and pointing it at the ROM file. If it involves effort or learning about stuff, they lose all interest and stay away.

Nintendo 64's North-American release anniversary is in a few days (celebrating its 30th anniversary).Even after all these years, it's still the fun machine.
>>12832131Unfortunately, enjoying N64 games on real hardware is impossible due to them looking like a Vaseline-smeared turd and running at 12fps.
>>12832264That’s funny because while I’m older than you by 4 years or so, I had the same progression w video games specifically. Went from the NES to the Genesis to the 64, mainly because wasn’t allowed to have video games but my parents allowed me to hang out w my best friend every weekend and those are the consoles he got and we spent hours upon hours every Friday to Sunday gaming. From Turtles 3, to streets of rage2/sonic 2, to Mario Kart 64 as the main games for each platform we played. Maybe that’s a common thing for console babies growing up in the 90s as a kid.
>>12832264Great story anon.

>>12834801Moorhuhn 2 was awesome. I was able to sing the theme song.
>>12837507>spread across then current consoles, see picrel.Yeah I had the Playstation versions of Moorhuhn 2 and 3. They even had a multiplayer mode, which was pretty cool.They were also compatible with the light gun, too bad I never owned one since these games are probably tons of fun with one.>searching for secretsTechnically not an actual secret I guess, but my favorite is the one about the Lesshuhn in Moorhuhn 3 since it's just so ridiculous. Once you shoot a certain amount of them the game goes "The Lesshuhn got extinct!!!" and gives you a ludicrous amount of negative points, something like -1000000 pts or so lol
>>12839116The only secret I remember from Moorhuhn 3 was that you could play Tic Tac Toe.I did play MH2 to death though. It felt good to get the AP rounds and make the observation pad collapse on the chicken inside.
>>12839234tic tac toe was Moorhuhn Winter though, anon

yesterday night i had the most trippy nostalgia trip. i discovered archives of old gaming magazines from my childhood around the early 2000s. holy fuck, what a time that was to be alive! the tips'n'tricks sections, the game reviews, the CD-ROMs bloated with content... things just changed so much and are so much shittier now. everything is digital, nobody buys magazines anymore, let alone even reads them. AAA companies ruin the day for everyone and rip off customers and fans. 90s and early 2000s were just the peak of gaming.people will eventually bring those times back. its not just a trend with the whole analog/crt/tape stuff. im sure. right?
>>12839721https://archive.org/details/NintendoPower1988-2004you basically just have to type in the magazine you owned on archive.org and hope someone archived it.

>>12838552>journalism (((school)))The idea that you need to go to school just to become a reporter (or most things, really) is one of the most retarded mind prisons to which we ever succumbed.
>>12841446I know, fuck the system and schools and stuff, companies should just hire you based on vibes and just hope that it's true that you know what you're doing.
>>12838552Yeah. Hobbyist magazines switching from "experienced hobbyists giving their opinions on shit they've devoted a ton of time and money to" to "shitty journalists that are bitter about not getting a job in a 'real' publications shit out reworded press releases they got exclusive access to" was pure cancer.

Why does /vr/ never talk about this game?
Because it was an extremely bad game where you script everything and do nothing. People who praise UO either never played it or were so young when they played it that they didn't really understand it.
>>12840839Because you inane faggots need ecelebs to give you all your opinions.Stick to queer roleplaying In Fallout and TES
>>12840997This
>>12840854No one macro'd or scripted anything other than the most simple loop of repetitive "do thing, wait x seconds" thing to gain skill levels back in the day, because the third party programs for it didn't exist. If your entire experience with UO is private servers with Razor versions with scripting then yes I can see why you'd think this but you didn't play the game in its heyday
Brightis finally got a english translation a couple of months. Is the game any good?
it's pretty generic. refreshing if you miss the old jrpg vibe.

When talking to another person do you refer to the first Doom game as Doom 1 or just Doom?
>>12838645You have to yell when you say DOOM, so they know it's the original and not the 2016 one.
>Watching LETHAL WEAPON>Title card comes in and says LETHAL WEAPON>subtitles says LETHAL WEAPON 1
>>12839575WHERE THE FUCKIN HOOD AT!?!?
Either "DꝎM 1" or "the original DꝎM".Whenever I say DꝎM most people automatically think of 2016."Classic DꝎM" is too broad a term. It could be anything from DꝎM 1 to FiNAL DꝎM, the fan wads and even 64. Not to mention that 1, not counting E4 and Si6iL, is the game I revisit the least since it looks more like a prototype for everything that came after.
>>12839575FiRST WE GONNA... RiP!THEN WE GONNA... TEAR!
Is this any good, or should I just stick with SC2K?
It's fine if you're a kid, otherwise it's pretty boring outside artstyle>>12836132>I heard it was more a Sim predecessorNot exactly, the whole "person simulation" is basic, you don't have much customization, and it doesn't go beyond the subject feeling bad or good, it's barely a novelty. You most likely got lied to by someone or assumed through screenshots
>>12839532>doesn't go beyond the subject feeling bad or gooduhh, anon...
I loved this game
>>12840283He probably means it's not as nuanced as the Interests system.
>>12840283Sim town is literally more basic than that, to the point where it means nothing. I know you looked at screenshots and imagined a soulful pixel art sims precursor, but it isn't.
Fuck you, I liked it.
It's a shame this metal looking dude wasn't used.
>>12831410>I don't know if this is copied from a proper localized manual by the Bergsala company who have been Nintendo's local distributor since the beginning, or if this was a separate translation from an imported manual. PROBABLY the former.Researching the Yapon brand, it seems they were working pretty closely together with Nintendo's Bergsala company and had sole rights for renting out Nintendo games in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, so the manual scans would likely come directly from them.Yapon would provide basically whatever retailer (usually video rental places) with Nintendo games with these clamshells, along with rental consoles too, and apparently this was quite lucrative for them. Presumably the games would be released for outright sale once they got old, which was probably where we got our examples.
>>12829907He has never been nearly as popular as his fans think.
>>12840734Yep. Unfortunately they eventually stopped with the manual scans and just included the manual in the box instead, where it lasted a week before getting stolen by some asshole.
>>12841138Maybe that's why my Megaman one had no manual?

>>12840913RP6 for 16:9 and Nova for 4:3, Analogue Pocket for GB/C.I think the idea of the "end game" device is stupid. There is always a new "end game" device to chase.I find it better to have certain handhelds for certain game systems. Like I'd rather play PS2 on the Nova because the 4:3 screen and form factor while PSP is better on the RP6 where it feels natural.Having only one "end game" device just feels like I'd be making too many small compromises.
>>12836950You don't need to mod it, it can play PSX games natively, you just need the games to be in a certain format. You can download converted games and PSN games from CDRomance.

>>12840785>laptopFunny man, very funny. You're not powering a laptop on solar after the grid goes down unless your setup is static and inmovvable. Portable means max 1 45w panel on your backpack while trecking. Which limits me to Arm based devices or incredible low end x86. So I choose the 3 novas. One to use, and 2 backups because if they ever get damaged then its so joeover.
