Hi /vr/!
Any of you lads know any good places to get complete lists of what PSX games have copy protection? I am not sure if that one console copy link is full or not and also I am not sure how many games actually have protection.
It makes PSX emulation a little dodgy because sometimes I don't know if a game needs patched!
P.S.
ecm files r gay as fuck reee
>3264395
No games need patching. Convert all your games into psp eboot files instead (Pbp) it offers better compression than ecm and is very widely accepted.

ps1 whatever any of u guys know where i can find a comprehensive list thats been edited since 2002
>>3264420
does this go for emulating ps1 games too? should i hunt down the eboot files rather than the original isos and just play on a psp emulator?
What are your favorite comic book games for NES?
I recently picked up Swamp Thing at a flea market but I felt it was pretty mediocre. However, it did make me curious to find out if there are any comic book gems on the system.
I like this new cinemassacre meme

I wish I had some sort of inside knowledge about what they are about to review or play. I'd buy up every fucking copy and gouge the fuck out of them.
Help me with the name of a game
It's a jrpg that I played long ago. I think it's on the SNES but it could be on the PS1, I'm not sure. What I remember about the game is that at the beginning you have this village and there's either a river or a waterfall, can't remember well, and it was going to flood or something and destroy the village. Then you had to either escape or save the village, I'm not sure which.
Please /v/, help.

I believe you mean 'side and scroll'
>>3263824
I think you mean shoot and boot.
>>3263831
I think you mean 'blast and dash'.
I'm curious, how much of /vr/ exclusively players retro games, and how many play modern games as well?
If the former, what distinction do you make between retro and modern games that makes you prefer retro? Is it the historical context, the technical limitations of the time, or the design philosophies? Would you give a chance to homebrew games for retro systems or indie games that seek to emulate the design of older games?
That is some insanely delicious flat. And the game looks neat too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMB5FK2YMVA
But anyway, I mostly play retro but I don't disinclude myself from modern games because if I did that would mean I wouldn't get to play games like rhythm heaven or house of the dead 4.
>>3263796
>indie games that seek to emulate the design of older games?
Most of them fail because they only imitate said older games superficially.
>>3263854
As far as I'm concerned, if your game doesn't run on a Pentium 3 and fuck-all RAM, you have failed miserably at making a "retro" game.

One of the best looking GC titles that, for some reason never got a translation. Have you tried it?
It's on my list but I still need to get around to playing the first Star Ocean.
Actually, it did a short while ago:
http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2555/
I still need to give it a go myself.
I tried to play it in French because it has a high mutual intelligibility with my mother tongue but I got bored after a while. Same shit happened with Surging Aura.
why is it that some N64 games have save files you can copy off of the cartridge using a passport or other memory manager, but other games don't? How did games like Smash Bros. which does not have copy-capable memory, manage to save game data? And why does it not match up with games like Mario Tennis which did have copy-capable saves?
>>3262917
Neat picture!
1. Designers chose to do it that way.
2. Internal battery powers the Cart so it saves data by never turning off the RAM that the save data is on. These batteries last quite a while depending on many factors.
3. Designers chose to do it that way.
>>3262917
1. Because you're using the wrong memory manager
2. It wrote save data to the SRAM on the cart over the save lines
3. Because Mario Tennis uses a 16k EEPROM and SSB uses 32K SRAM so as you can see they literally don't match
I guess I need a different memory manager then, as the passport plus 3 isn't copying saves from anything which uses SRAM.
What memory managers are able to copy SRAM saves off of the carts?
Lately I've been playing some co-op games with a bro, but in some games there's a strange rule that when player 1 dies, player 2 dies as well. That, or something arbitrary like player 2 can't scroll the screen or enter doors.
>Pocky & Rocky 2
>Kirby Super Star
>Kirby's Dreamland 3
all very comfy games but shit sucks when player 2 isn't 100% equal to player 1.
What are some 'true' co-op games? Preferably SNES but anything goes really.
Contra 1, 2, 3, and Hard Corps
Goof Troop
Jackal
Mendel Palace
Pocky & Rocky
Any co-op arcade game
Turtles in Time
>>3262909
The vast majority of games fit, Kirby is just a bad choice for that.
How's about Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Did you like Forsaken?
Great Descent clone. Wish this type of shooter would come back.
>>3262473
My favourite game.
Played it on PS1 over and over, then got the N64 version too.
Great that it is freeware on PC and still gets maintained, the new level is hard as balls.
Excited that the 6dof genre could see a small revival with Sol Contingency and apparently a new Descent coming out.
>>3262473
It was pretty descent for a descent clone
What's everyone's favorite midi song from vidya?

Bitch what

Been listening to the Sam & Max: Hit the Road soundtrack. The Snuckey's music was always the best.
Do any of you guys have personal experiences with those infamous games like Action 52, Bubsy 3D, E.T., Superman 64 and the likes of those? Did any of you anons actually play some of those games back in the day or recently try them out of morbid curiosity? What were your thoughts on them?
>>3262194
I owned Action 52 as a kid on the Megadrive. I asked for it for my birthday.
The games were playable, some moreso than the others. As a kid you took what you got and made the most of what you had. There was nobody telling me that the game was shit and that I couldn't have fun with it.
I actually owned a few of those "Make My Video" things for Sega CD that they released back in the day. I remember playing it multiple times and even enjoying them (i didn't even like the music at all). Nowadays I would never bother with that shit. I think i was just enamored with FMV shit at the time
I played E.T. at some kid's house.
It's just another Atari game; its badness seems overrated.

Fuck this stupid thread, sage.

Don't you mean how ARE?

Is there any way to make an emulator look like a CRT?
No because CRTs and LCDs/LEDs are physically very, very different.
On CRTs, the image will change depending on how far you are from the screen. Most emulators that try to look similar to CRTs make it so that it looks like you're looking at the CRT very close, which is not how it actually looks like on a real CRT if you're several feet of distance away.
Just get a CRT.
>>3260717
There is no way to emulate CRT on an LCD.
If you think you will ever want to buy a CRT, it's better to buy in sooner rather than later.
$200 gets you an amazing, top-of-the-line 14" multiformat PVM or BVM with only very minor issues (burn-in or a tiny screen scratch). (Mint ones are closer to $500)
$200 can also get you a nice 20-incher if you don't care about 480p. For $100 you can get a sweet 13" 480i/240p desk tv.
Things only really get expensive if you want something professional that's either 20" and multiformat or larger than 20".
