I don't see too many arcade posts, so I thought I'd start a thread honoring our favorite arcade games. What are some of your favorites and why?

Here are a few that I still play on MAME from time to time:

1. Crystal Castles - I was fascinated by games that looked 3d and I also enjoyed using trackballs. Marble Madness was another good one of this kind.

2. Gauntlet - Being able to play with three other people was novel at the time. I was so obsessed with this game that I got left behind during day camp at a pizza parlor and I had to call the head counselor to get me. The manager gave me free tokens while I waited so it was a win-win. The Elf and the Valkyrie were my favorites.

3. Street Fighter 2 - It wasn't easy to get in a game because it was so popular, but I played it anywhere I found it. Circus Circus in Vegas had the Turbo version that was my favorite. I played Blanka and Ken the most.

4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - It was a really great 4-player beat-'em-up. Since I was a dumb kid I asked for the NES version thinking that it would be like the arcade, but I was sorely disappointed.

5. Ghosts n' Goblins - This was the first horror-themed game I ever played and it was hard as hell. I loved the NES version, too, though the sprites would flicker in certain areas.

6. Joust - This game seems ageless because it's just as fun now as it was when I first played it. The NES version was a pretty good port and I have a somewhat rare Atari Lynx cartridge of it too. It was my first experience with a physics-based game.

7. Space Invaders - This is the oldest game that I enjoy. I loved it so much that I created a paper collage in high school art class that recreated the game screen with color gradients.

8. Arkanoid - You could find a lot of cocktail cabinet versions of this game. It's my favorite Breakout-type game, though I wasn't able to beat it until I bought the NES vePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I think I rented T2 for the NES and it was pretty good. This was the one that Ocean released, correct?

I liked the Midway arcade version also and I think they ported a version for the SNES too.

Castlevania threads are always great, whether they're about the classic ones, the explorey ones, or the preference for either - but not when they're not about CHARLOTTE!JONATHON! and God of Transylvania.

What are /vr/'s favourites?

I love everything about Rondo of Blood - the dual-character system (even if Best Imouto is easymodo), the general progression, and the slickest soundtrack in the entire series.

I still enjoy Bloodlines a hell of a lot, though.

>If you have any kind of money to buy games, you can afford several consoles. That's not an issue. You're probably talking about casuals who never understood anything about games, could only afford one console and no games, and pirated a shitton of them and spent all their time trying them out instead of actually immersing themselves, dropping anything that didn't hit their skinner box soft spot immediately and hard. That's the core PS audience who would call it "obvious" that PS is the best way to go. Anybody who isn't a casual can tell you that even on PS, they needed to find their personal niche among everything the platform offered, and persevered in finding it.

You're an absolute retard. Even in the actual quote you used, I said "if you were a kid." You think kids can just go out and afford these types of things? Until you're a grown ass adult with a stable enough job that you can pay rent comfortably and shit, video game consoles are a luxury, and more than one even more of a luxury.

So for people on this board younger than their mid-30s at least, yes, it was frequently a concern.

>But if you can afford one you can afford many!

Are you retarded? Do you have no sense of money? Do you not realize that two is twice as much as one? You could buy like ten games for the price of a console, if you weren't buying them new, and even if you were you could buy several games for the price of a console. And once again, you know full well if you're a kid and you ask for a second console when you already have one, you'll get the response from your parents "But you already have one, why do you need another?" It's a completely different thing from buying new games. Especially when they go to the store and see many of the same games are on both consoles. (And those games are almost always vastly improved on PS1 compared to the N64 versions, by the way, though most kids wouldn't have both consoles to compare, so they would never know that, which is probably one reason you keep defending the inferior system).

Kids also don't typically know how to pirate, especially in the fPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Kids also don't typically know how to pirate, especially in the fucking '90s.

If you had been older than infant in 1998 you'd know it was only easier than today. Because people actually existed who would sell you those pirate copies for cheap. That's what real piracy used to be, and even the legislation is written on that premise. If that doesn't count for you then congratulations, you're not the people I'm talking but just a person who misses the point thinking it's always all about you. I guess you were too much of a rich kid to know any russian immigrants.

>technically inferior games

Yeah, nintendo never supported AutoCAD either, the most technically impressive video game of all time.

If you're talking about fucking Tomba here then try to keep to your own damn argument. But if somebody wanted Bomberman 64 and Goldeneye then guess what, they still wasted their money on the Tomba machine. Chads are the people who did that only because their dad figured he should definitely have Colin Macrae on it as well, and that's probably why they grew up as chads anyway. If they hadn't, they might have not bullied you into becoming the wiener you are now.

But at least they didn't waste that time on an inferior system either, amirite? And I'm hoping here, that you didn't become this anal without some severe social damage affecting you, otherwise you're just too sad to exist.

This is so retarded it deserves its own response. No they fucking don't. Somebody else having better theoretical chance of liking your console that you only tolerate because it's all you have doesn't cancel out shit. I told you this is a statistical error, and you stared truth in the face and remained willingly ignorant. That's objective.

I already addressed this. Thanks for not reading. It was relatively uncommon unless you knew the right people, and even if you did, you'd have to convince your parents to let some shady chinese man at the flea market fiddle with your system while promising "no breakee" before you could actually play those games. To say this is easier than today, when anyone can download shit, is absurd.

The PS was relatively easy to pirate for, but that doesn't mean it was particularly popular with the audience we're talking about. Because that audience would be too young for that. You're making the classic autist mistake of thinking everyone is as autistic as you. You're even doing this throughout time, and acting as if kids 20 years ago were as autistic as you are now.

>If you're talking about fucking Tomba here then try to keep to your own damn argument.

Do you have no reading comprehension. The point I'm making by listing games is that your whole argument just boils down to "well my favorite games are on N64, so there!" That's subjective. You're just being too butthurt to acknowledge that some people don't have the same favorites as you. And I'm not using that argument to say "no, you're wrong, the best games are elsewhere!" I'm using that to just point out that you could actually try to argue more objectively, instead of being a butthurt babby.

Honestly this is the best JRPG from the SNES era that nobody played. It was initially to be localized but never released outside of Japan. A shame too as I could have seen it considered up there with the likes of FF6 and CT.

It's fan translation by Gideon Zhi of AGTP has only recently received it's final revision, I feel that if it were fully translated in the late 1990s like FFV was it would've been regarded as something of a cult classic.

If so, maybe that should be a good example of why one shouldn't take on that many projects at once as being active, or at the very least back his stuff up elsewhere (if only just to a USB drive) in case it gets lost? If he did lose the files for SMT if… though, would he at least let someone else take a crack at making a translation patch rather than leaving it tied up like the other thirty translation projects that he's got listed as "active?"

On that note, the fact that Square-Enix is apparently localizing the remake of Romancing Saga 2 (but only the mobile version of course), it makes me wonder if the SFC fan translation will wind up cancelled out of "respect" or whatever for the localization. Of course his webpage says nothing, but he hasn't made a news entry since last June.

You're right though, the complete silence on that, or anything after the 2.1b Treasure of the Rudras patch on his actual site is odd to say the least, and as I don't make a habit of digging around on twitter (I really hate social media) I have no clue what, if anything, he's been up to on the fan translation end since then.

Hey fags, notice there's a lot of Doom talk in here because of the new game but I haven't really kept up with games so much the past few years because I've been busy with work and college. Anyway I wanted to replay Duke Nukem because it's one of my favorites from my younger days. This game is so fucking good. I played the DNF demo back when it came out and I was really disappointed and never finished that game. (It's still $40 for the game and DLC on Steam. WTF?) But Duke3D still holds up to my memories. Anyway, kinda what triggered this thread is I couldn't find a place to buy it! My old CDs have gotta be in storage in my parent's attic or something. I remembered there being a Steam port but it looks like it got pulled. I shouldn't have to pirate this fucking game, it's legendary. Anybody know whats going on with that?

These are three of my four Super Nintendo consoles. They all work. Two classic ones and one Junior.

I have another Junior somewhere, and it's not working but it's a cheap fix, so for less than $10 I could have four working Super Nintento consoles.

Insert, the Retro Advance Adaptador, which I don't own.

They're relatively cheap though, and I want one. But I don't know whether or not you can link the Retro Advance Adaptador to a regular GBA using the cable, or maybe even to other Retro Advance Adaptadors.

So I wanna ask before purchasing four Retro Advance Adaptadors, is it possible to link them?

Because I also can get four TV sets, and I have more than four friends.

Here's a video going into detail about the video stuff. Basically, you can get a memory card you can put an SD in and load isos and homebrew, so you can buy the game boy player base (it's the cheaper part, the disc is more expensive), and either load the iso or use the homebrew game boy interface which still uses the game boy player but is supposed to be better.

I found that video informative and stimulating.

Also, thanks for introducing me to the channel. I subscribed.

Anyway, that's fucking cool. I already have two Gameboy Player units (working perfectly), and at least one working GameCube.

But it seems that modding them would be expensive. Not that I don't want to (not that I saw the video, I reslly fuckin' want to mod them so they have HDMI) so for now, the cheaper and dirtier solution would have to be adaptors for the SNES.

Oh! Also, I have one of these! I've never used it, because I don't even know what it is.

I just bought it years ago.

What exactly can I do with this card?

You can get Swiss (I think) on it and then use that to load isos for games as well as game boy interface.

If you could find a GameCube for cheap even if you don't mod it you'd still probably be better off than with the adapter. I don't know how much each costs these days though.

I would now like to open up the list to any and all games, including flash games, mobile games, ROM hacks, fan games, the little dinosaur game on Google Chrome's no-internet-page, etc. You get the picture.

You may reach me at plasmacr@gmail.com

Literally impossible. So many new games are being created all over the world all the time. It's not that it's conceptually impossible, it is, it's just that in reality it's impossible to implement. You'd have to spend so much of your own money on translators and other employees to help with translation, organization, and maintenance of the list itself (unless you're some kind of master coder/linguist) that it's just unrealistic.

You may have heard of Radical Dreamers -Le Trésor Interdit-, Radical Dreamers -Nusumenai Housenki-, or BS Radical Dreamers, yes? You can download it and a fan translation by now and play it through an emulator, though there is no saving and you'll have to make use of savestates.

It's basically a text adventure starring some Chrono Cross characters. The basic story is that Serge, Kid, and Magil (or just Gil, depending on who's talking about the game, but the fan translation says Magil) are sneaking into Viper Manor to steal the Frozen Flame.

Magil/Gil is who Guile was supposed to be before heavy editing, by the way.

A few Chrono Cross songs originate in this game, too.

Out of the many JRPGs I've played, this and Grandia II are the only two JRPGs I've actually finished

I'd wager the combat plays a large role in that. The systems used in those two games keep them compelling, whereas in others the grind can put you to sleep.

I played the original SNES version of Chrono Trigger only a few years ago for the first time. One of the things it reminded me of is how I asked for a goddamn Genesis with Mortal Kombat for my birthday. If I had asked for this, maybe my school years would've been more imaginative.

Same with Terranigma.

I asked for Genesis too, for Christmas. I wanted Toejam and Earl and Sanic in the worst way, those were the definition of "cool."

My father kept trying to sell me on SNES, leading up to Christmas, because he loved Zelda. I didn't buy into it, Genesis was still the coolest thing to me, but thanks to his shilling I put Genesis at the top of my Christmas list and then at the bottom I put "or Super Nintendo" and I made it clear Genesis was my preferred choice.

Santa brought me an SNES with Super Mario World on Christmas morning. The rest was history, after Mario Kart, World, LttP, Super Metroid, FFIII, Chrono, DKC, the list goes on and on, he made the right decision.

Figured I would ask here as opposed to /v/ as this is sort of a retro question.

I picked up the 8bit Music Power and I'm trying to play it on my famicom, but having no luck getting it to start up. Has anyone else happened to buy this game too and has gotten it to work? Or could I just be stuck with a fancy piece of plastic?

Didn't even know this existed until now, but the store pages on Play-Asia and Amazon have disclaimers in japanese saying it doesn't work on all FC consoles (official or compatible).

Yeah, I saw those before getting it. But just hoped that was more a "warning" that in a very rare chance it might not work. So I guess I may be out of luck then. Unless I could find a cheap converter that may actually be able to play it.

Hey /vr/. My SEGA CD keeps having issues reading discs, to the point it'll manage to read one, play for a bit, then be unable to read anything until it's turned off for like 20 minutes.

Anyone know what the issue could be?

Does the Sega CD need laser calibration over time? What kind of discs are you reading? Burned discs need to be burned in a slow speed since the Sega CD only reads in 1x.

Both. Legit copy of Sonic CD reads and can be played, then hangs and disc can't be read again. Exact same with burnt. They both work fine after 20-30 mins again.

Hey /vr/, I was looking to building myself an emulation machine

I was planning on running Arcades and consoles at least up to gen 5

Would a raspberry pi be enough?

Should I just salvage a "old" laptop/pc?

What do /vr/?

That GPU is probably overkill. For emulators you want the fastest possible Intel cpu you can afford. And then you probably want to overclock it.

The Wii is the best cheap option to play on a CRT. You get to also play Gamecube and Wii games on it.

A good option would be setting up Lakka (Retroarch as an OS, basically) on a ODROID -C1. The thing is cheap (37 dollars, but you have to buy an SD Card for the OS, and Wi-fi/Bluetooth USB dongles if you want them) and it runs quite well, it has some differences with a Wii, though.

- It only has an HDMI port, so no CRT TV for you.

- No Gamecube or Wii games.

+ You get access to PS1, PSP and even some Dreamcast emulation (In progress)

+ You get to play CPS3 games (embed related) and those big Neogeo Roms the Wii can't handle

+ You get a wider range of available controllers to use

+ You can use the ODROID to boot Android or Linux as well, with decent results.

A modded original Xbox can do emulation surprisingly well, to the point it can do N64/PS1 emulation decently. Might be worth looking into.

>The Wii is the best cheap option

Unless you have access to some emulators I don't; no. It struggles to run anything past 16bit properly. And arcade game support was abysmal.

I mean, I'd like it to, I love using my Wii for NES stuff. I don't own the original console, and it looks amazing with component video. But from my experience it doesn't have the power, or up to date emulators.

Can anyone tell me about mods for an NES side loader to enable the Famicom exclusive sound channels?

I bought a Duck Hunt with a built in converter and intend to use it for Akumajou Densetsu when I find it, but I also intend to buy an Everdrive for FDS exclusive games like pic related.

My questions are:

1. Can you restore the Disk System exclusive synth (as in that weird sawtooth "Oboe" sounding synth in the Japanese version of Kid Icarus) for an Everdrive? I know you can restore shit like the VRC7, but what about the FDS only sound?

2. Will performing the Everdrive mod and the converter mod simultaneously cause any crazy interference when both are used at once or blow my NES tha' fuck up?
