What part? I'm two rivers and one city away in Long Island

Oddly even when people I knew would mid/max and EV train. I never did. I would grind levels like any RPG, but I made my team pokemon I liked. Last pokemon game I played was Soul Silver. And that was when it came out. I booted up my copy and found my team.

Paterson. In case you're not familiar, it was one of those situations where I was one of about six white kids in my high school (that's not an exaggeration,) and probably about one out of thirty native English speakers.

I used to go to my cousin's house in Cranford and he had Sega TV, Sega Internet, Sega wireless controllers and I used to think "what is this wizardry?"

Nice find, other than Blue and Red I never sunk too much time into the others, though I would always come back to Blue and Red every few years, especially if I noticed my brother was playing. I never did get anybody to 100, I'd always get to like 96 and then be like "I'll max it out soon," and then put it down and then focus on another game. If I had the link cable I would've been more motivated to hit 100.

I'm same as you, I'd grind who I liked. Charizard, Beedrill, Nidoqueen, Tentacruel, Persian, Chansey, Kangaskhan, Gyarados, Poliwrath, Blastoise, Ninetales, Jolteon, Paras, Scyther, Arcanine…those were pretty much the ones I put the most time into throughout various saves.

Ruby was the last one I played before I didn't care anymore. I was given Pearl and only beat 1 gym before I stopped and 3 badges in Black 2 before I didn't care. I only played Soul Silver for memories. The game even added a thing that played the old GB music, so I put that on ASAP. A lot of people I know still play the games. As long as they're having fun. I just don't care. I'm the guy that likes gen 1-2 and some of 3.

I only (hardly) know the area around Morristown

>blue was my shit, I had a blastoise just like on the cartridge, he was the coolest

So this is what it feels like when doves cry.

I was the only kid in my school to get the Diploma. Goddamn Tauros took forever. Got my Lv100 Blastoise, my first starter ever. Then some piece of shit from school stole it. Then my parents made me move before I got a chance to take it the fuck back.

Blastoise is best starter.

And speaking of nobody having a Link Cable, did anyone actually have a Game Boy Printer? I got a Link Cable for Pokemon, I got great use out of it until Gen III came out and decided it didn't want to be compatible with anything anymore, but I never saw a Game Boy Printer in real life. The sheer disappointment of going to see the guy at Game Freak HQ after getting all 151 like he said, only to find out the reward was some shit on the Game Boy Printer. Never before had I felt such a supreme sense of disappointment. But it was a good lesson, because I would feel that level of disappointment many times after. Like when I played Gen III, for example. Fuckers took out more features than they added. Gen IV is awesome though.

Very over hyped. The rpg aspects are underwhelming, as are the shooting aspects. Together they blend to create the ultimate mediocrity.

Listening to a million audiotapes and hacking crap gets old very quickly. It was probably good at release time but today, it doesn't hold up at all.

I'm in the absurdly slow process of modding my Atari 7800. The audio is all static, so I figured there may have been some fuckery in the RF system. The AV mod for the 7800 has you remove the RF system from the board, snip out a few resistors, and pull composite video and audio off of the board itself. Problem is, early eighties soldering. Shit may as well be welded to the board, because my attempts at removing the solder so I can pull the RF shield off of the board have been futile. My solder vacuum isn't getting anything off of the board, and my iron is having a hard time melting the solder due to the RF shield being a giant fucking heat sink. Even solder wick is useless. Maybe when my funds get sorted, I'll get a better soldering station and more flux.

If you want PS1 games just get a PS1 and either swap disc or modchip it. I have a modchipped one and it's great, the only pain is to get good video out of it you need RGB (That said the video that comes off that RGB is fucking beautiful).

The Megadrive won't output the correct colourburst frequency needed to output colour in a composite signal when you do a 50/60hz switch. Additionally it won't output the correct horizontal blank either, and scalers often can't deal with that.

You need to use RGB cables, or if you really want to use composite, you need to add some extra oscillators to generate the proper colourburst whenever you switch.

It is simpler to just buy a Japanese Megadrive. They are very cheap.

Saturn protection was cracked back in the 90s, modchips were common even then. Primarily in Asia, because the Saturn was primarily popular in Asia. The console got its CD drive changed at least once to break modchips too.

The recent "crack" for the protection is actually a reverse engineering of its OS so you can use the expansion port to load games from.

But the actual CD protection was understood decades ago.

Why not just dump the game binary, and then reverse engineer it to find out where the code is that references the optical drive?

Make a launcher for it that patches those parts out of the game and makes them refer to a relative path folder instead. Use OllyDbg, x64Dbg or IDA Pro.

You'll need to trampoline the routines that perform audio events; play, stop, pause, etc, and inject a DLL that plays audio files from the game folder instead.

Someone did this for Heroes 2 and it works fine. CD audio played back from the relative folder as audio files.

Ever OD on nostalgia? Sometimes when I've got the CRT and an old console fired up I find myself sinking into a depression. Old video games are a relic of a better time in history - a time before society collapsed. 10-20 years ago I didn't have to worry about constantly overwhelming propaganda in every single aspect of my life. I could simply enjoy a quality video game. Everything about them just breathes life, the colors were brighter, more vivid - stories were fun and exciting, they could be deep and something you could really get into. The soundtracks were classic and will be remembered for decades to come.

Old video games remind me of a time before everything went to shit and we were on the literal brink of hell.

Hi! I lurk and got curious… What are the best ps1 games that are also on Sega Saturn? Also, what are the worst? I imagine listing the preferred versions would take a while but I recently found out a game I played was superior on the competing console. I most likely will play the other version now but I realize there was a time different console versions REALLY mattered.

I know of only a handful of well written "old" rpgs, Torment, IWDs, BG, Fallouts, but they're the best things I ever experienced. Watching the game industry turn away from in-depth dialogues broke my heart.

I want to make games like these myself one day so I can bring this feeling back to the younger generations.

Back in the day, when I was but a wee lad I didn't see the problem. "Hey, there's room for both", I thought. However, as years pass I'm more and more convinced what really happened is we were robbed of a superior game. It blows my mind that the doomsayers back in the day writing for old school physical gamer mags scoffing at this new direction were right and that my RPG adventure was about to take a nosedive… The antediluvian treant necknbeards tried to warn us, but the gay world didn't listen.

Worst part about it is Blizzard can't really be credited with Diablo, since they took over a different company that was in the process of making it. The potential for a great game world and atmosphere was already there, what they introduced was the cancer. Fuck, I'd still love a Diablo: Planescape-type game, even if it wouldn't be the most playable thing ever, meanwhile the hack&slash gameplay introduced by Blizzard aged like shit.

To top it all off they wasted what good Diablos introduced in flavor with D3. I don't think there ever was a bigger loss of capital in gamedev history than that. I remember, while not even a huge fan of Diablo, being blueballed several times by bogus rumors of the game being developed in the 00's. If that game turned out good and innovative (they had ages to plan it out, for fuck's sake, just hire a dedicated writer for a decade) it'd be easy to introduce some new quality of gaming off its back. To introduce some grand scheme. But this is modern, even more deranged Blizzard, so ofc they just fist fuck dead horse assholes to death now, until the IP said horse is attached to spits out the last cent.

When I saw that Fallout 4 was going to add fully voiced protagonists and that Bioware style of choice selection, I knew it would make the writing even worse, and I was right.

In my opinion, most games should do like Baldur's Gate did- have short phrases that are occasionally uttered by the characters, but nothing all that lengthy so you can still have your paragraphs of dialogue if you want.

I'm running an IBM Aptiva 2163-540.

What games should I get on it?

Have you faggots played Don Doko Don 2? This game is simply amazing, especially for a Famicom title. This is a platformer by Taito on the vein of say the Monster Land series but more straight-forward and platform oriented.

It's the sequel to the original Don Doko Don, which was a forgettable Bubble Bobble/Snow Bros clone which makes this sequel even more impressive. Being a late FC release (it came out in 1992 when the SNES and Genesis were dominating the market) it pushes the hardware to its limits (kinda, maybe not) and it shows.

This game enjoys of

>Beautiful and highly detailed backgrounds that never repeat too much

>Animated yet charming cutscenes that tell a simple story to go along with the game

>Nice, cartoony spritework, for example the hat of your character jumps along in your head as you walk

>Optional minigames to win bonuses

>The stages are anything but boring, certain parts of them like the bridges will start to fall apart if you stay for to long on them

>Your regular weapon, the hammer serves to smash enemies so you can then pick them up to throw around

>Power-ups and collectables

>Music is good enough, never irritating but not very memorable most of the times

So yeah, even if you don't understand japanese it still is a highly enjoyable game so go and play it.

Funny that you mention that given the game has been hacked back in the day to be sold as a Mario game by Famicom pirates.
