Use the rom from the smokemonster pack here:

I just played for about 10 minutes with no lockups on an everdrive on a GBA. Seems to work fine. If that doesn't work under emulation, then it's an emulation issue.

>>7661

Thanks for the help, but even with that ROM I can't get past level 3 without the game freezing on OpenEmu. I've never played it on original hardware, so you're probably right in thinking it's an emulation error.

>>7663

Ok, I've confirmed it must be an emulation issue. SameBoy emu has the same issue regardless of rom used. The 2nd place speedrun was done through an emulator though, so keep trying emu's, you're bound to find the one that works.

That sounds super cool! Doom is one of my favorite games of all time and while I'm not a modder for it, I love seeing the crazy shit people make with the game. I know this thread hasn't been posted in for a month or so but I'd like to give it a bump anyways; here's to finding a cool project to work on, OP.

>>7549

I thought that was a Planet of the Apes wad for a second.

Blinking Light Win. Use Google.

Only good 72-pin replacement known to exist.

Always works, high-quality, and even multi-regions the console without damage (no need to clip pins).

Also completely reversible.

>>3008

Throw that shit in the trash! Get a AV Famicom Anon!

>>3008

Replace the 72 pin connector with blinking light win.

Terrible advice.

The Arcade game, is there really any contesting that?

Almost all of the games were terrible, the Nes ones were all awful in their own way with Krusty's Funhouse atleast being unusual, the Gameboy versions were unplayable, the SNES games were bland at best and Simpsons Wrestling was an unbelievably boring button masher.

This, and even then it is still one of konami's weaker beat em ups.

Miniature Golf Madness

>This, and even then it is still one of konami's weaker beat em ups.

Yeah, I agree with this. It is one of their weaker arcade beat em ups. But still an alright game.

I kinda liked Krusty's Fun House on the SNES. But Krusty's Fun House was just a Commodore Amiga game with the Simpson's license slapped onto it.

It's been years since I've played Corom, but here's a little of what I remember;

-Don't waste your money on Link and Plate Armor, just save up to buy the Magic Armor as soon as possible.

-Same with the Long and Broad Sword, you'll find the Magic Sword pretty early in the game.

-Since the only thing you really need to buy is the Magic Armor, once you have it you can spend any other gold you find on Salves and Blast and Hammer spells.

-This is the one I'm least sure of, but I think there is no maximum Strength, so rather than waiting until your Strength gets low, just use all Heal spells as soon as you get them.

>>7444

Random fact: C64 games usually use port 2 for game controllers because programs like to use the memory address reserved for port 1.

I've heard the Gameboy version of Daikatana is a lot less shitty than the shitty version.

>>7487

Can confirm, it's pretty good, but a bit short.

Hoosier City (DOS)

They're only monotonous if you don't use 4th-D slip.

Because there's so damn many of them. The way the game calculates random encounters is super shitty and primitive. You can literally take one step and end up in a battle, win, take another step and immediately end up in another battle.

To put it into reference, the first final fantasy game has a ~25 step minimum before the next encounter. Mother has none

It doesn't help that you have very limited combat abilities for the first few hours of the game, especially before Magicant. Ninten has no offensive PSI, making most battles before you get Lloyd unnecessarily frustrating and/or long

>>7216

because most people suck at videogames

>>7562

I disagree. I think that games should be fun even if they're an uphill struggle. Honestly Mother 1 and 2 were much might lighthearted and heartfelt experiences. I didn't have a problem with the encounter rate in Mother 1; hell it's one of the several games I consider to be a masterpiece. It's definitely not to just make the game seem like a struggle because I doubt that was the intention for Mother 1 at all; it's just the game being an NESRPG.

>>7242

>Whatever happened to the adventure genre?

The adventure genre lives from puzzles and as we can now the mainstream is to stupid/lazy and doesn't have the patience to solve puzzles.

Additionally making a game with good puzzles takes time and so its much easier for the industry to produce skinner boxes to dazzle the masses.

At last there is the fact that adventure games have in the past been used to promote graphics and technology in gaming, but they lost that function to FPS games.

>dialog wheels

Almost no modern action-adventures have dialog wheels. Are you sure you're not thinking of RPGs like Mass Effect and Fallout New Vegas?

Also, wouldn't Dark Souls and Breath of the Wild fit perfectly into what you want? You're a dude, you have a sword and lust for exploration. Go on a journey.

>>7427

Nah, Douk is the funniest out of the build games.

>>7435

>Funny

"BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!"

"BALLS OF STEEL!"

Vs

"What a wonderful new smell I discovered"

Blood's comedy is less up-in-your-face. But Dick Kickum does produce some hilarious moments with a soundboard.

Duke has a good campaign and is fun to play ironman, unlike Blood which demands save scumming on the higher difficulties. I mostly play solo so it gets my pick. Blood has snappier gameplay though, and is a lot better in multi.

>Out of the three (Four if you count Redneck Asspage.) games made with the Build Engine

Wasn't there a bunch of Build games released around 1998? I think a Vietnam game and one more I can't remember. Real low budget stuff.

Is front mission 2 worth playing?

Russell Crowe on the left.

I just played through Dune 2 as the Atreides. Despite having plenty of dated interface and gameplay aspects, I enjoyed it. Dune 2000 updated the gameplay a lot more (especially the OpenRA version), but I prefer the aesthetics of the original game.

2 episodes done. Next one is Super C

post links here ill mirror em on the spreadsheet. I can make a pastebin of every file i have. Does this look good? https://pastebin.com/raw/EQpX9E8W

>>7751

Looks like a few yzb games?

Did the NoBS links all get deleted from that Google Doc? What the hell are those retards doing? Good thing I downloaded the old version of the doc to my PC. Any new releases pop up lately?

>>7813

Actually wait, it seems all the NoBS links are shoved inside the "old version tab" mixed in with everything else. What a mess.

Feel free to fix, and to also mirror games into your own cloud accounts (mega preferred). I've sort of left it to run wild as I don't have the time to maintain integrity myself.

Metal Storm and Shatterhand are both pretty good

Scott Pilgrimfags aside, Clash at Demonhead is one of my favorite single-player games on the system. A lot of it does admittedly come from nostalgia and fondness for its presentation over the actual gameplay. Some of my favorites as far as gameplay goes are Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, and Kung Fu, but those are pretty obvious.

I don't really know what counts as a lesser-known game anymore with freely available ROMs and boards like this one, but StarTropics, Faxanadu, and Golgo 13 are worth checking out.

If you're looking for fun multiplayer games, there's Yoshi's Cookie, Trog!, and Baseball Stars. North & South is really good for that purpose but way too expensive.

I'm not sure what the prices are for these games nowadays, either.

Milon's Secret Castle - hard platform game but I liked it enough to finish it

>>7527

I'm seconding Kabuki. It's a great action platformer for people who like stuff like Ninja Gaiden but want to play something else.

I think the cost might have jumped up a bit since the Cinemassacre video came out a while ago, but it shouldn't be too bad.
