Make/post/request those beautiful retro 3x3sIs there a better one for GX?
>>11995008>beautiful retro 3x3sIs this brainrot
>>11995008I will never understand people who think 6th gen games need CRT (simulation).
>>11995083Interesting
>>11995053>Is this brainrotYour post? YesScreenshot collages? No, kinda normal on a vidya board
>>11995008they're usually referred to as cinegrids. there's one Anon here that posts them but he never puts cinegrid in the flename, so they're hard to find in the archive I've got a load saved, will upload them all to mega, just gimme a while to organize them all into consoles and shit
>>11995008Never liked how GX looked. It's has this soulless flat generic look.
>>11995149Janny you call GC games "flat" for like 5 years now, can you finally grow up and stop shitposting in every thread?
>>11995158Dunno who you are referring too. Genuinely. I just never liked how GX looks. X had a better style.
>>11995163>Dunno who you are referring tooYou. It's so oddly specific and retarded that pretending it's multiple people just makes you look more pathetic. You need to use a different word, there is nothing particularly "flat" about this >>11995008 compared with picrel
>>11995174>picrel
>>119951413x3 is the best format for games>see all pics at once, can blend together nicely>don't have to scroll and don't have the entire game spoiled
>>11995141organized as best I could, 177 files total. if some games have multiple cinegrids I put them into their own folder in their console category left some loose general ones outside the folders, that way they don't get lost amongst all the games here: https://mega.nz/folder/HdklhBBD#StDKBgQ8j4-Ng9-9faNHMA
>>11995289agreed. I think they look best with the game's title / main menu screen in the middle best way to make them is to get raw resolution images (hardcoregaming101, mobygames, giantbomb, gematsu, google images, or just your own screens)I use befunky.com/create/collage/ as a quick way to test compositions and placement of the images (you can change the aspect ratio of the grid by dragging the edges), after that I'll usually put the raw screens into photoshop and try to get it under the 4MB limit, if it's not a pixel art game at least for pixel games I usually use Aseprite so I can increase the resolution by 200-300% (don't do halves like 150% since it'll fuck the pixel art up) and have it be actually viewable on modern displays, although I guess you can do the same in photoshop with nearest neighbor upscaling
>>11995312>ps1 folder has every 4/10 game there is>n64 folder doesn't even have picrelwe can do better
Someone please explain the point of these images, because I really don't get it.
>>11995348it's a visual medium. not hard to get
>>11995348it's for admirers of aesthetics, mainlyit can he helpful in arguments too, if someone says a certain game looks like shit, or if you want to praise the visuals of a certain game, or make a point about how games of that period looked specifically, all sorts also a good opening image to use for threads since it's a good eye-catcher besides all that, it's just nice to have these aesthetically pleasing images of your favorite games
>>11995351I mean, what's their purpose?
>>11995008>requestShenmue anyone?
>>11995324>I think they look best with the game's title / main menu screen in the middleIf it's a pretty screenshot in itself like in this case but a generic logo image is a waste>>11995348What's the point of taking screenshots?
>>11995356Classics deserve veneration.
>can't make one for TotA because this vista is so good it would get devalued by the rest of the game
>>11995348poojeet sees people referring to 3x3s on other boards but doesn't understand what it means
>>11995453You are the only one confused by it
>>11995478it would help to have some level of literacy so you can read its response
>>11995481>a grid of 9 screenshotsLooks like it guessed it just right and unlike you it didn't even have an example picture. Do you think the concept of 9 units 3 across by 3 down is somehow exclusive to album covers or something?I like making fun of you but it's really not normal you feel the need to derail and police every thread like Randall from Recess on your already slow board. Everyone knows about you
>>11995312MGS2 got done dirty.
>>11995356Shilling a game to your friends.
>>11995081yakuza definitely wasn't meant for hd
>>11995008f zero x is better
If you want to aesthetics max on Dolphin you can dump all HUD textures and make them transparent in Photoshop and use free cam.
someone do this
>>11995008what course in the center? very ventur aero or whatever its called, beautiful
>>11995763True but both are great>>11995823I think it's AX content you could get with a cable in Japan. Using Dolphin you just have to tick a box in Properties
can a sega fan label these thx
>>11995969Ranger X / Ristar / Shinobi 3Comix Zone / Contra Hard Corps / M.U.S.H.APhantasy Star 4 (or 3?) / Streets of Rage 3 / Shining Force 2Rocket Knight Adventures / Mega Turrican / Beyond OasisCastlevania Bloodlines / Sonic 3 / Alien SoldierThey're all some of the most well known Megadrive games
>>11996209>Phantasy Star 4 (or 3?) 4
>>11996221>jpgone job
>>119953564chan is an image board
>>11996241dont care
>>11996253What in the hell? Might have to check this out
>>11995148Rightly considered kusoge in Japan.
>>11995351What's the medium?
>>11995008psx showcase collage grid
>>11996575That's PSX Quake 2
>>11995174That's me, you're unhinged and overly defensive over Nintendo because you're a fanboy. Stop declaring publicly I live rent free in that head of yours, boy.
>>11995008Posting how I make these. I use ImageMagick which is command line, but I'll also post my janky .bat script so you don't have to open CMD and cd to the imagemagick directory. Imagemagick is just nice to have in general. I assume most people prefer some dedicated tool or website though.The command itself is: magick montage -geometry +0+0 -tile 3x "drive:\location\to\images\*.filetype" "drive:\location\for\result.filetype"geometry +0+0 is the borders between images, -tile 3x is the amount of images in a row.The simple .bat script just echoes off, mounts the ImageMagick install directory, asks for the amount per line and executes the command with that amount and loops back. You'll have to change directory paths.https://textbin.net/azfaagv9pn
>>11996574What is bottom row, second from right?
>>11996650Delta Force Urban Warfare
>>11996653Interesting, graphics looked really good for a PS1 FPS. Thanks.
>>11996605I'm literally the biggest idort there is so you butting heads with me just shows how much of an annoying mentally ill fanboy you are. Objectively there are many great games on Nintendo systems but you made it your life mission to seethe about them while probably in your 30s, 40s or 50s alreadyThis here is the best example, literally the most harmless thread ever but there is a Nintendo game in the OP so you simply couldn't resist posting your "flat" retardation. Nintendo raped your brain
>>11995026just made a new, slightly higher quality jpg from the original bc file size has been upped since then here's 11MB uncompressed .png if you wanthttps://litter.catbox.moe/3kyf9ouhbeu244z6.png
>>11996236>253 KBnah, this ain't it chief
>>11996594>look, a black hole>>11996609>look, a sewerGood example of using too many tiles but it depends on whether you just want to go for cheerleader effect>>11996253Good example of warranting 4x4 because the whole game is just visual skits
>>11996695>derails his own thread to seethe about a post from over a year agoContain your autism. When I post you'll know it dork.
>>11996786You can take "aspect corrected native res" screenshots with Duckstation, very useful for games with oddball inner resolutions
>>11996791You should do this, old games are meant to be 4:3 unless they're 3:4.
>>11995958fair
>>11996253This game looks like absolute kino
>>11996831>gba doom 2
>>11996831>>11996837Yeah that's not GBA Doom II, I made one for it though alongside every FPS on GBA that isn't MoH UG
>>11996837Nobody is perfect.
>>11996773>When I post you'll know itYou're right about that. Now keep bumping my thread
I remembe playing this on mame in late 2000s or early 2010s.
>>11996942I played the MD port
2007 summer, I played the three main GTA in a row.
>>11996986these ones kinda bug me since it's obviously just the first level, not the best representation of the entire game it's like if >>11995324 was just Crateria
N64 version, before janny puts it in his PS1 folder
>>11996729>litterfaggot
>>11995348it would make sense for something like pokemon snap
>>11996223Bottom left and mid looks great
>>11998147it's literally just metal slug with significantly worse pixel art
>>11996986>3x3>4 of them are the same backdroplow iqs shouldn't be allowed to make those
"collage grids retro vidya (xx).jpg" guy please nuke your grid folder and start over and stop posting here holy shit, you have zero sense of what makes these interesting at all
>>11998263Yeah most of these are pretty random, not even making me want to play the game.
>>11995081it doesnt need CRT shaders for the scanlines and blending.but it needs CRT for its motion clarity because many games were 30 FPS and even 60 FPS looks like dogshit on sample and hold displays when the image is in motion
>>11996223This doesn't look like a real game.
>>12000336made this one yesterday. compared to the ones with a shitload of images and no real variation I still think this is the best format >>11995324I assume most people have already played Planescape, but still
>>12000623
