LOL, Australia-kun is that you? Or just somebody else imitating him?

At times I feel like I'm one of the few people who only likes the original games (except for Simon's Quest, that game sucked), I wasn't into the SNES ones as much.

That's weird, because this sounds like copypasta of an exact opinion I come across a lot, including my own and some in this thread. Can't get enough of my dedicated jump arcs and upwards staircases with medusa heads.

But in case you're suffering withdrawal, you should remember to play Bionic Commando as well.

>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.

>>4587

>Those are personal things and cancel out.

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.

>>4591

>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.

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.

>>4592

>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.

You realize this argument applies better to yourself than it does to me, right? The only problem is that your console, that you only tolerate becausPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

That was a bad theme for a thread.

>>2225

Teach me, how can I, too, manage to seem as autistic as you in one single post?

>>2238

N64 emulation in general is probably the worst emulation scene of all of them.

>>1592

Depends on what you're using to play it. There are lots of graphics quirks and some slowdowns on Project 64, for example. You should be able to complete it.

Whatever happened to that guy that asked for donations to code the supposed ultimate n64 emulator plugin?

>>2227

>Mednafen

Ahh, the retoarch core uses the PSX Mednafen emulator. Mednafen isn't really standalone though.

>>2225

yes, why not, i always thought The Dims and Barfville were utter crap, but if its some retro stale game i can be smug about it.

Man, that song is shit. You need to listen to some actually good stuff.

Pretty unique.

I'll give it a bash some time soon.

That looks like something I might like, actually. Sort of turn-based strategy-esque.

Odio took over my soul.

>>3248

>Still no smt:if progress

I think that hipster faggot lost the files and is too afraid to say it. The patch was supposed to be practically done about a year ago. He kept talking about it on twitter last year and suddenly he goes silent, retweets pure crap and floods his twitter with things no one cares about to bury those tweets.

>>4571

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.

>>4534

I understand like half of what you said, but it sounds smart and cool.

Have a video or some sort of diagram?

>>4534

>>4537

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.

>>4550

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.

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.

>>4169

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 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.

>>4476

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.

>>4450

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).

>>4462

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.

>>4457

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.

>>4458

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.

>>3471

Christ, you're insufferable. Look, if you're not really interested in having fun, there are other threads.

>>3124

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.

>>2293

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.

>>4437

>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.

>>3514

You've already disregarded the rest of the thread, so why ask?

FC30 Pro or NES30 Pro

I have an FC30 Pro and it's fucking incredible. It'd bluetooth but it can connect to PC through the usb cable that comes packaged with it.

I got mine for like half price though.

>>4444

>it'd

fuck, I meant to say "It's".

>>2071

USA simply because I grew up with it. Didn't play the lost levels until the SNES release.

If I am not on heavy stims I like USA

If I am on a-pvp or something, Lost Levels.

I know it seems counterintuitive, but for some reason I can kick righteous ass at LL when I am so stimmed out I can't piss straight.

I think it has to do with it being so hard that I don't think about it, and accidentally do good because I stop being mad at failing at easy obstacles due to overcompensation.

I'd take SMB2 over Doki Doki Panic any day. It's a fun, creative, challenging take on the original game. Whereas the original game was structured to introduce people to the sidescrolling genre, SMB2 was actually made for sidescroller players. I have similar feelings regarding Doom II over the original Doom.
