Unless I have a specific game that won't run properly under PCem, I use PCem for everything DOS and Win3.1.

Interesting. DOSBox emulates both DOS and 3.1, doesn't it? Is PCem superior for any reason?

>>8006

From what I understand, DOSBox uses hacks to achieve better compatibility. PCem is extremely accurate, at the cost of higher CPU requirements.

>>8006

Late reply, but like 8007 said, DOSbox focused on getting things running with lots of hacks and game specific settings. This wouldn't be an issue if they were still updating, but the last time DOSbox updated was years ago. It's "good enough" if it works, but that's about it. PCem is still under active development and is getting more accurate and faster as time goes on.

Meanwhile PCem has been focusing on trying to emulate every part of the hardware as 1:1 as possible. So instead of having a generic motherboard, generic graphics card, generic SB card and so on, PCem uses specific emulated hardware. So instead of generic mobo with generic CPU with a set clockspeed in settings, you would use say…. an ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 mobo with a Pentium MMX 166 CPU. You can go into the BIOS for this emulated mobo, and change any setting just like on real hardware. You aren't using some generic VGA card, you are using a Phoenix S3 Trio64 2D accelerator that can handle 16M colors at 1024 x 768 in Win3.1, paired with emulated VooDoo cards in SLI. Naturally, having actual real hardware emulated means games tend to run the first time without any special settings needed. DOSbox uses an emulated hackjob version of DOS. PCem will use any OS that you install on it. You wanted DOS 2.0? Go ahead and use it. You want to use DOS 6.2 with DOSSHELL backported to it and set to automatically run when you turn it on? You can set that up easily.

With DOSbox, you have to individually configure each game, but you don't usually have to setup the environment. With PCem you MUST setup the environment(install drivers for everything, install the OS, etc), but the majority of games the OS can run only requires you to install the game. While DOSbox is faster to setup to get a single game to run, PCem is faster in the long term for DOS/Win3.1 emulation. Once you have your DOS or Win3.1 box setup, all you need to do is mount the install disks and install the game and play.

The only downside to PCem is that it requires you to know what you are doing, where DOSbox is brain-dead easy, doubly so if you are using a front-end like D-Fend Reloaded. If you don't kPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Link sneezes if you let him idle in Zora’s Doman. I did not know this in 22 years of playing this game.

Just go to zophar and download from there.

Why would you be scared of being seen as a hoarder? obviously you have not asked for anything else beforehand, so, I don't see the problem if its only that one time, and the monitor/tv is worth it,It'll do you goof though knowing if they'll ever allow employees to take shit for themselves before you start dreaming about the next CRT that passes by, maybe offer a couple dollars, if the company pays for kg of electronics trash, or say it's for your grandma if you are autistic and don't want them to know you are into old shit, take it from an actual electronics hoarder (nothing of value just appliances boards) who would dread destroying all that stuff, and adopt the next shining and capable CRT that drops by, give it a good home.

more like super mario land 3 (lol j/k 2)

The first one is the best. those two aint got shit on it.

>>5276

The Wario Golf minigame was the worst part of this game!

1, because you could actually die in it. Felt like a nice extension of the Super Mario Land games that didn't go too crazy.

Can anyone reupload the Mischief Makers OST CD rip? Apparently the one floating around the web is incomplete (and also low quality anyway). I found a link in the archive, but it doesn't seem to work.

What do You guys think about NES Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge BGMs?

I like this soundtrack better than most of the stuff I've heard from his brother Tim.

You didn't need to post those images that were obvious GIMP jobs done this century. Most of those look total shit on an actual CRT.

<The Sports

>Super Dodgeball (Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu) (Arcade, NES, X68000, and at some point PC Engine, Game Boy port later, and eventually a sequel on SNES, then an all-new remake for Neo Geo)

Lead Kunio and his gang to victory by finding a way to beat the life out of everyone with only a dodgeball. The PC Engine version, Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu: PC Bangai Hen, is a special version of the original Dodge Ball which combines the graphics and teams of the arcade version with the emphasis on character-specific statistics and team formation. Features an arcade-style mode and a plot-oriented Quest Mode where Kunio gets his ass beat by a fucking alien and he and his crew have to euthanize them with dodgeballs.

>Nintendo World Cup (Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu: Soccer Hen) (NES, X68000, Game Boy, at some point the PC engine, and ironically enough the Sega Drive)

Play some soccer/football and beat the shit out of the opposing team on the way. There's really not too much to say, it's simple as it gets. I think the PC Engine version (Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu: CD Soccer Hen) is the definitive edition but I'm not too sure about that.

>Downtown Nekketsu Kōshinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundōkai (NES, PC Engine, and later Game Boy)

A game that can be played with up to 4 players. Lead Nekketsu against 3 other rival schools in four different competitions, no holds barred, and beat the shit out of them too.

>Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu: Subette Koronde Dairantō (Unreleased Title: Crash 'N The Boys: Ice Challenge) (NES)

One of Kunio's pals has self-esteem issues with his hockey team. Kunio uppercuts the fuck out of him and tells him to be a man, and then takes charge of his own hockey team and goes on a rampage. In short, hockey but you beat the shit out of everything. This was meant to be released in the US as the noted unreleased title, but for some reason never went far.

>Crash 'N The Boys: Street Challenge (Bikkuri Nekketsu Shinkiroku: Harukanaru Kin Medal) (NES, Game Boy)

Kunio's bloodlust grows. Now no longer content with beating the shit out of people with hockey sticks, he resorts to spiking people like they Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Nekketsu Kakutō Densetsu (Famicom)

Not a beat-em-up and I'm not exactly sure if it could be counted as a sport game, but it's a 4-player 2-on-2 platform fighter that came way before Smash bros. Also features a custom character that's made based on your date of birth and blood type. I feel like the game's usually a curbstomp until the final boss, but it's great fun. There's tons of obstacles you use to your advantage.

>Kunio no Oden (Super Famicom)

A puzzle game that's sorta like Puyo Puyo? It's hard to explain how to play it since I've also yet to play this, but essentially it's one huge, cutesy eating competition

Since the series is still ongoing, if you wanna give money to them while still playing classic games, you can get Kunio-kun: The World Classics collection for most modern gaming stations including PC (but it's all Japan-only) and be able to play most of the NES/Famicom classics, both original and an updated version that helps reduce lag in some games. I've also got a collection of translated and untranslated Kunio games, and while it doesn't feature everything (would if it could), it at least features most of the classic NES games and a couple SNES games. There's also a 3DS game in the mix but it should be easily noticeable and easy to skip.

Other than that, Kunio discussion thread I guess. One of the biggest mysteries, for anyone willing to hunt them down, is the River City Ransom/Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari EX 2007 hacks and seeing if the "stars" thing is real. Again, the Jewtube embed here is an example.

(3/3)

Great series. I will try to collaborate with the team sometime soon. Nothing else to comment; the games excels. Unfortunately, quite unknown on the west side of things.

game-theory

>>3257

The PSone (the one with the LCD screen add-on) was released in 2000. The Dreamcast was released in late 1999. Both these systems had games being released well into the early 2000’s. Whether your early millennial faggot ass likes it or not, this meets the retro cutoff. And nothing is stop any late millennial, Gen Zer, or future generation from picking up these games to play and make it a part of their childhood or later years. What in the fuck is this pointless gatekeeping tribalism? Yoomers like you should be encouraging people to play older games from any previous gen so you have a newer generation that cares about curating classics and obscure titles of yesteryear. Why is it that gaming is filled with cynical juvenoia? Is it because you made vidya brands and plastic goodies a part of your identity? You don’t really see this shit in music and film where the older generation is contentious about showing the history of the medium to a younger audience.

TL;DR

Get a life, faget

>>7713

I don't even remember the crash, really, other knowing that the economy wasn't doing too well. Obama getting voted in and being praised to high heaven was the big thing I remember from that era.

>>7688

People seem to think "millennial" means "anyone younger than me" for some reason.

It looks like that I make part on no side here. Grow up playing famiclones. Only got to know retro [S]and current, in fact[/S] vidya relatively late in life. I consider myself a retro gamer.

Back in my day NES was all the rage, but before that I had ZX, had to load games from casettes and I did not know any basic, no manual. Will I recommend NES games for todays kids? _Absolutely_, buy raspberri pi, two joystics, install fav emulator and you will have fun for days.

The original version used a better script. An orange lizard is hardly a good substitute for an orange cat. The penguin looks better than the snow man looking thing.
