So, I'm trying to build a decent collection of Saturn games and it has come to my attention that both PAL and NTSC Japanese games the other region doesn't have.

From what I've researched the US has:

Iron Storm
Magic Knight Rayearth
Albert Odyssey
Astal

Europe has:
Deep Fear
Keio 2 Flying Squadron
Dragoball Z The Legend
King of Fighters 94

Any other games I should know? I'd rather collect games in a language I understand instead of importing straight from Japan. Speaking of which, are Astal, Magic Knight and Albert Odyssey good?

Are you wanting to collect or you want to play?

If you want to play just modchip it, and get an Action Replay. Cause sheesh some of those games are expensive like Street fighter zero 3 + cart

I remember 2 games in particular

Mr Bones wasnt a great game, but its one hell of a meme fest

there was a game made by Enix. I cant quite remember the name, but you control some big airships in a strategy game that kinda reminds me of Valkyria Chronicles, just a little more primitive

What is the true to play ancient vidya? While I've always preferred to play games on the original hardware, I only emulate if the game is expensive or rare, like Paper Mario 2 or Earthbound.

The most worthwhile PS1 games are still very expensive and even just rare/hard to come by. Particularly, Tail concerto, silhouette mirage, Megaman legends+tron bonne. They're going for hundreds of dollars, but that's just when you're lucky enough to find a copy at all.

PS2 on the other hand will probably have plenty of cheap games for another 5 years at least due to just how popular it was around the world (until all these youtube ecelebs start bringing more unwanted attention of people who were probably born after the PS2 was launched).

Always buy after next gen is already out. That way you have kids/casuals selling off their old games they've grown tired of for new gen shenanigans. Bought infamous 1+2, uncharted 1+2 little big planet, and skate 3 for $5 each. Very very soon you'll see prices skyrocket up to $40/$50 now that the ps5 has already been teased.

For 8 and 16-bit era console games (nes, genesis) it's a matter of preference. The graphics were designed with many different monitors in mind, so display isn't an issue, and emulation is so good at this point, especially on the 8-bit side of things, that it's very hard to tell the difference from the real deal

For 32/64-bit consoles (ps1, n64) playing it on actual hardware is usually much better than emulating. Most modern PCs aren't really powerful enough to be able to emulate 3D graphics hardware entirely in software, and as a result most of them aren't really emulators as much as they are interpreters, converting the game's system calls to native ones in real time (eg. running an n64 game in openGL). You're not emulating these games as much as you are using a program that lets you run them on your own system, and as a result accuracy is obviously an issue.

Things are flipped on the home computer side of things. Most games late-70s/early-80s micros relied on some form of hardware trickery that simply can't reasonably be reproduced via emulation. The apple ][ used NTSC color artifacting to display color, as did most games for early IBM PC compatibles, and the 6581 SID used a hardware fault to play sampled audio. None of these things work quite right in emulators because they relied on a lot of non-digital hardware to work.

Later home computers like the Amiga and post-VGA PC compatibles, meanwhile, emulate like a dream since a) most hardware faults were ironed out, and the hardware itself was powerful enough that games didn't need to use hacks to get good graphics and sound anyway, and b) the bigger range in hardware being written to (a game written for the A1000 would be expected to run of an A500), meaning that emulators can afford to be looser when it comes to accuracy and still play pretty damn identically to the original system

Games written for computers with x86 processors like IBM PC clones, the NEC PC-98 line, and systems like the Tandy 1000 that were compatible with but distinct from the IBM PC are usually better emulated, primarily because most of the hardware on modern machines is compatible with them, and all an emulator needs to do is smooth out the differences

Well, I would try one of two things first and foremost, the first being to check all your caps. Check to see if any are leaking or bulging. In no specific order, I would check the cable(s) that connect the screen to the logic board. Try unplugging them and then plugging them back in. Also, make sure that they are nor damaged. If none of what I said helps, then you may need to buy a replacement screen.

So it took to a retro games repair shop and he told me it was the ribbon cable, i've messed around with it, and it sometimes works and other times doesn't, i can't seem to get the picture back. If i can't get it to work, i'll just buy another cheap dmg and re-do the mod again in one shot so i'm not bending the ribbon cable from re-entry.

I got another gameboy today, and bivert modded it as well, and for some reason i can't close it completely without squeezing the backlight. When i tried the original gameboy (the one with the distorted screen) it worked without problems (so it's not the screen that is the problem it's something with either the bivert chip or the back board).

>BoF 1 and 2 are tedious as hell. There's an encounter every 3 or 4 steps. Christ

I'm assuming you're not a big time RPG player. BoF's encounter rate is pretty mild for its era. Phantasy Star II would be the pinnacle of tediously high encounter rates, while I would consider games like Phantasy Star I, Star Ocean 2, and Shining the Holy Ark to have mildly high encounter rates (which is fine by me). By comparison, BoF is very very average, much less than those games. Nothing wrong with not liking that, everyone has their own tastes, but based on that there are some games on your list with encounter rates as high as BoF, Lufia II isn't one of them.

>I heard about that dungeon in Lufia 2. It's a roguelike inside of the game, right? You start without any equipment and move through the dungeon, but you get to keep some items

Yes, you start back at level 1 every time you enter the dungeon, and you have to level up and work with the items that the dungeon gives you. It's completely random every time. There are different strategies to use (do you go in with two characters that will develop into healers? Do you go for speed?) There's a lot of trial and error involved. The final boss of that dungeon is bullshit though (not for the reasons you're thinking), I won't spoil it, but don't feel bad if you save state at the bottom level to save yourself 15 hours of having to do it again, but don't save state throughout the dungeon, the fun comes the risk and reward the deeper you get in.

>Also, this might not be the right thread to ask, but do you have any recommendations apart from RPGs, for SNES?

The above poster has some good recs. Like he said, it depends how obscure you want to go, you know the classics DKC, SMW, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid, etc. etc. - they're all fun and worth playing so, at least, go through them all first. After that there's ActRaiser, E.V.O. Search for Eden, Joe & Mac, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, the Bomberman games…these aren't very obscure, but they're all fun. How obscure do you want to go?

I played it sorta recently and it's a pretty neat point-and-click. I had to use a walkthrough for that puzzle near the end, though–you know the one. It was a huge difficulty spike in what is otherwise a pretty manageable game.

I am so glad GoG brought this back, I lost my discs forever ago and even when I had them I could never get the game working right anymore. Now I can have fun customizing armies of mechs for battle again.

Feels bad anon, if you think users of forums are bad try dealing with the owners and administrators. They are on a whole new level of circle-jerk.

Smaller user base makes those people stand out more.

I find the opposite is true, niche interests don't make people bitter it's the mainstream that does. A lot of bitterness in my hobby comes from having quality taken away in order to appeal to people who clearly don't care.

I'll use /m/ as an example. Pre-Gurren lagann and Gundam 00 you saw a lot of discussion of older titles and the focus was on the story and the robots. Post these series you saw the shift become more more feminine in that it focused on the characters and ignored most of the setting. This really peaked when Build Fighters aired and the entire thread became circle jerking over the white haired girl and constant waifu posting. It got to the point where you went to the thread to see the cameos you couldn't recognise yourself and then ran away as fast as possible. The community became something completely different where the central focus became secondary to other things. At this point I've pretty much completely disengaged from the mecha community because there's no longer any focus on the stuff I like. I see the same stupid circle jerk over waifus and new fags with no appreciation for anything older than digital animation. I don't want any damn part of that and I tell those people to go fuck themselves whenever I encounter them.

Most people on forums aren't knowledgable any more. They just google the solution and rephrase it for you. The old tech shops are gone.

Old gaming attracts a lot of mentally ill people and shut ins. They destroy their lives playing games and hiding from the people who bullied them for being fucked in the head. This builds up to self hatred and a disconnect of the physical from their mental state. They end up wanting to be someone else, any one else but who they are. This then develops into full blown body dysmorphia where they feel their body is not the one they belong in as a means of self protection.

Think of it like multiple personality disorder but as a single personality. When you get fucked up enough your brain splits into what it needs to survive, In this case instead of a tough persona it creates a completely alternative persona which hates the original self and wants to move as far away as possible from it. Think of it like fight or flight and the brain picks flight.

Retro gaming also tends to be cheap so that these fuck ups can afford it. Any PC from the last decade will emulate all the retro consoles. Just emulate shit and you have the full library of multiple machines.
