i really like MTPO on nes, are all the games the same in the sense of the opponent having 'tells'?
eg: the ruby in the arab guy's turban twinkling when he is about to attack
>>3250103
Aside from small mechanical changes in the games, they function super similar from the arcade all the way up to the Wii.
I.e, yes, there are always tells
>>3250132
nice, one thing i don't really understand is the speedruns of the NES MTPO. They just beat later opponents like even Iron Mike on the first round, i think it has something to do with what time they get or something.
How do you guys keep your cartridges tidy ? I have found universal game cases but the ports to EU are butthurty. Someone knows an alternative ?

I keep my collection closed up in cardboard boxes. It prevents dust from getting inside.

I'n having some trouble getting SF1 to run on MAME. I have the sfu.zip file in my ROMs folder, but MAME is telling me I'm missing a necessary ROM or CHD. Google yields nothing thus far.
Seems like you're missing a necessary ROM or CHD.
>>3249804
Which ones do I need besides sfu.zip?
>>3249807
well what does the error say?
Mame list what files are missing.
Download them and put them in roms forder.
Are you underage or first time working on computer?
Hey /vr/
I'm looking for an emulation machine that will run up to the 5th generation.
.mkv support so I can watch my Chinese cartoons as well.
I've looked at the raspberry pi, but I wasn't sure if there were better alternatives.
>>3249768
Get an nVidia Shield Portable, for on the go, or an Android device of some kind with HDMI out. Pi might be a bit too pokey.
>>3249768
Why the fuck do people want raspberry pi's
Pi's are cool but using them for emulation is retarded.
Just get a cheap laptop or tablet.
Making this thread again after seeing it deleted while an AVGN thread survived... So here we go again i guess???
IMMORTAL John Hancock
Any fans? Any fans who like him as well as James Rolfe? (careful mods)
Fuck e-celebs, fuck AVGN, fuck this bearded cum sucker. Fuck you. Fuck off. >>>/out/
>>3249594
bitter as fuck
keep reporting bitch, it's just a discussion on his collection, stay jello lmao
>>3249595
No, dude.
Just keep the e-celeb stuff in a single thread. Whether you discuss AVGN or anyone else.
>ignore mame
>i will play on genesis etc

Oh i'm sorry, was i holding up my console for the guy behind me?
*looks behind me*
Oh my little brother? FUCK my little brother.
>>3249563
Are you lost.
>>3249560
Should have played the Gamegear version on the toilet.
>moooooooooom, big brother is playing mk2 on the toilet again!
>anon are you playing mk2 on the toilet again?
>go away mom, I'm masturbating!
>sorry son.
Does anyone here own one of these things?
>$48
I see no problem with clone consoles if they're cheap but you can get a real SNES for that much.
>>3249373
I have one of these things, though branded under Columbus Circle.
They play alright, just some small music distortions that I'm not sure is due to a slightly shoddy composite cable or the thing itself, which I'm leaning on the latter.
The controllers suck ass though, get an actual one instead if you wanna get this.
I have a retro duo I paid $6 for at a thrift store. It's okay but $48 is fucking retarded and that's aliexpress there should definitely be cheaper ones
What's your favorite survival horror game /vr/?
What's the last one you replayed?
Comfy thread music:

GALERIANS
It was a shameless Akita ripoff, but I don't remember psychic powers being this prevalent in a video game up to its release. I used to love shorting and just popping doctors heads, it was so satisfying. Like popping juicy pimples.
>>3249114
That's some real comfy music anon. Code Veronica is underrated in every sense of the word.
>>3249152
Agreed. Its almost universally disliked on both /v/ and /vr/ but I think its great. I still prefer 2 and 3 over it, but for a one-time offshoot with that amazing 90s dreamcast charm it was fucking baller.
I'd even go as far to say its the comfiest RE game to replay.
>As these enhancements became more commonplace on the SNES, the stock of existing Genesis games began to look outdated in comparison. Sega began work on an enhancement chip to compete with the Super FX, resulting in the Sega Virtua Processor. This chip enables the Genesis to render polygons in real time and provides an "Axis Transformation" unit that handles scaling and rotation. Virtua Racing, the only game released with this chip, runs at a significantly higher and more stable frame rate than similar games on the SNES. The chip was expensive to produce, and increased the cost of the games that used it. At US$100, Virtua Racing is the most expensive Genesis cartridge ever produced. Two other games, Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA, were planned for the SVP chip, but were instead moved into the Saturn's launch line-up.[121] There were plans to sell the SVP chip as a separate upgrade module for the Genesis,[122][123] but this module was never released.
How does it feel knowing they planned on porting DAYTONA and VIRTUA FIGHTER to Genesis?
Silky smooth 9 fps.
>>3249084
Would have ran better than Starfox and Stunt Car FX though.
better make way for my SVP power plug
Hey just cleaned out my garage have an old bin my parents gave me with old video game stuff.
Contents include
- 2 SNES consoles
- 1 virtual boy
- 1 Sega Saturn
- 1 N64
- 1 PS 1
- 1 gameboy original
- 2 Sega game gear
- various games
What the heck are these worth?
Bout 350.
>>3248871
Awesome thanks
>>3248868
OP, I'd hold onto them for a couple more years. Assuming you came here for advice because you aren't too savvy of retro gaming, we are currently in a weird time. Systems costs have risen about 30% in the last 1-2 years. It's kind of crazy. If you hold out for a year or 2 I could see you getting a pretty penny for all this stuff.
Holy fuckballs guys, I couldn't believe it. The place normally checks ebay to find out how much things are worth. I bet they couldn't find any past auctions so just priced it like it was an normal Intellivision.
That's amazing. The fucking keyboard component is worth a fortune and rare as fuck, so congratulations.
What state?

I'm feeling nostalgic. I want to have a conversation with old DOS game developers. Tell me your stories.
I was just recalling a time where this idiot on a BBS was arguing with me that Turbo Pascal was a bad language. He boldly claimed that it couldn't do anything low-level and that it was impossible to achieve performance code from it. He said you couldn't even do graphics without including Borland's graphics libraries, and that anything you made with it was huge.
I developed a demo in half an hour that used TP's embedded assembly code...

pascal is garbage please shut the fuck up
>>3248561
To have been a DOS developer you need to be older than 16, thanks.

>it couldn't do anything low-level
>it was impossible to achieve performance code from it
>that used TP's embedded assembly code functionality for all video functions, from handling the interrupts to setup video mode, to assembly loops for rapid blitting
you proved him right. All the performance-relevant and low level bits, the vast majority...

In the Famicom version of Sunsoft's Batman, music from stage 1 and 2 are swapped.
It was a bit mind blowing for me to learn that Streets of Desolation, one of the greatest stage 1 themes ever, was originally used in stage 2.
>>3248450
That famicom cart looks bitchin. I want a copy just because it looks that cool.
Shinobi Legions was referred to as Shinobi X in Europe and had a brand new soundtrack commissioned by Richard Jaqcues

I mean, yeah, compared to the arcade version, it's very bad.. but compared to botched ports of the arcade version in other games (ex: Pac-Man World 2)
It's just not the original, so everyone hates it?
There were more bad than good ports of Pac-Man, something I'll never understand. How can you fuck up a game this simple?
It's not bad per se, it's just that it was the much hyped home port to the biggest game of the day, and produced on an extremely tight schedule. It was much further distanced from the original game than the last big port, Space Invaders.
There are a lot of bad arcade ports, but the Atari 7800 seemed to have more than most.
>Galaga
>Mat Mania
>Rampage
>Double Dragon
All awful, awful conversions.
>Nintendo fanboys will unironically defend this
Shit on 32X all you want, at least it didn't make you go blind.
>>3248084
It's better as long as you play virtual boy games on an emulator
VB Wario land and galactic pinball are still GOAT
>>3248084
What if I enjoy both the 32X (for its Space harrier, After burner and other Sega arcade ports) and the Virtual Boy (for WarioLand, Teleroboxer, Jack Bros, Gundam)?
Am I a Segatendo fanboy to you?
>Nintendo is so ashamed of the 32x that they won't re-release any for the 3DS
