So I was curious about emulation untill I discovered homebrew. I'm wondering what's so special about it? Are there any good homebrew games out there? How safe is it?
>>3028567
Homebrew emulation allows you to turn your PSP and Wii into the ultimate emulation machines.
homebrew is a nicer name for piracy
There are definitely homebrew games out there, completely original games for all kinds of systems especially retro ones since they're simpler to develop for.
However, I doubt that's what OP is talking about so... What are you specifically talking about, OP?
So i got here a copy of Doom for snes but as you can hopefully see in the picture, one of the silver connector thingies is missing. Is this the FX chip or something? The one on the right is there but not the left. Will the game work? Also, will is damage the system or game by trying to get it to work / play it? Sorry, but i know fuck all about this stuff.
Doesn't matter at all. I have a couple carts like that
>>3028009
What exactly are the 2 silver clip things for?
Are the pins missing because of damage or were they never there in the first place? Developers aren't obligated to use every single pin.
So I just picked this up, did I fuck up? This was billed as a nintendo exclusive wipeout, so I'm assuming none of the tracks made it into any other releases of the game?
Also /r/ing that wipeout guide graphic of all the versions, couldn't find it for the life of me.
It's okish, The PS1 and Saturn games were better.
Play the game and decide for yourself.
It's okish, F-Zero X was better.

Why is Garou so legendary among SNK fans?
>>3026602
It's just an awesome game.
>>3026716
Also, the new characters were mostly decent or better, and more importantly they actually seemed like they belonged in the series unlike half of the new characters in Street Fighter III.
>>3026602
Because Garou is SNK's SF III 3rd Strike. Restarted the formula from Fatal Fury and the real bout series and created some new items to the fighting genre like the TOP and just defend. Also its very easy to play since the moves are set similar to a capcom fighter alot of quarter circles. Even with its new roster they have familiar movesets to older SNK fans will know about like Butt, Kims sons, Rock and Terry. Also the graphics are some of the best on the neo geo.
I still haven't played this game. Which version of it is the best? N64, GC, Wii or 3DS?
Keep in mind that for the first 3 versions I will have to emulate them.
I am also curious about what is the best way to play MM. I have already played the N64 version (emulated) 3 or so years ago, and I'd like to revisit it after OOT, but I don't know if the 3ds version is worth it, I heard the changed core mechanics and the overall feeling of the game is vastly different.
>>3026421
Why do we have to have this thread all the time? It's getting a little monotonous.
I'm not even going to recommend a version, invariably someone will argue that X version is better and then someone else is also going to get pissy. Just play the version that looks the best to you.
>>3026421
They all virtually the same. Only autists care about detail like OH NO THEY LIGHTENED UP THE GANON FIGHT A LITTLE BIT.
>>3026421
N64
What in the flying fuck
What does this mean for /vr/, are TG16 games prices going to skyrocket? As if they weren't already fucking expensive before.
>>3026340
Well, anyway PC Engine was easier to collect.
>Kanye was a Turob grafx kid

Whoa, Kanye ain't so bad after all.
Why are some PS1 games rendered in such a wide resolution?
Because they're made for analog displays that would squish the aspect ratio down but still maintain the resolution.
>>3025965
Because more horizontal detail.
It's supposed to be corrected to 4:3 by the tube monitor.
Best rain effect in a classic game? Other meteorological phenomena are fine as well, either 2D or 3D
Let's get this out of the way though
>>3024682
Well you killed the thread with your image, OP
Zozo always impressed me. It was the first time I'd seen rain in an RPG. It was pretty amazing for the time.
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here knowledgeable about the Dreamcast library could point me to all worthwhile local multi-player games on the system. Any format is fine, but up to 4 players is preferable. All I have at the moment is Power Stone 2 which is fun as hell, but I want to take advantage of the 3 extra controllers I was donated to by some friends.
>>3024556
Quake 3 arena and unreal tournament are two great games for four player multiplayer
Heavy metal gyromatrix?
chu chu rocket
Why is this game considered a bad example of fighting genre, unlike SF and others?
edginess & toilet humor over substance
>>3024085
I like it the best. It's much more fun.
I only played the MK series and Tekken and I like both but I prefer MK because its more fun. In Tekken you just have to randomly push buttons and its rather easy. MK is really hard and needs precise timing and random button pushing gets you killed. I killed Heihachi by randomly pushing a lot of buttons. That is not possible with shao khan.
i cannot command on street fighter, i still have to and want to play this.
>>3024085
Game mechanics mostly.
Dial-a-combos. Block button.
Personally, I think the gameplay feels rigid compared to other fighters. I'm sure someone else can explain it better by discussing links and chains, but I don't understand it well enough.
Are the older Fire Emblem games worth playing? Are is a waifu simulator like in the modern games?
The new games have a waifu simulator?
It's in Japanese.
Yes, but I'd skip my way to FE3, 4 and 5. 3 is a classic FE, 4 has some new mechanics and the plot is pretty good (especially compared to the new entries) and 5 is challenging.
>>3024216
there's quite a few translation patches
Does Super Ghouls N Ghosts make it into your top 25 SNES games of all-time?
Selling over a million copies during it's release it is one of Capcom's greatest titles, especially during the era (well at least that's my opinion).
Anybody else totally dig this game?
Maybe. It's like a 7/10.
who cares, SNES Top 25's are always filled with kiddie casual shit
>>3022836
no. i played through that shit and it sent me back to the start to collect the worst wepaon in the game.
How the fuck do you get good at this game? I played it a bunch as a kid and now I picked it up again, but somehow ten years of life lessons and brain development haven't made me any better. The same shit happens, I feel like I am winning all game, then one of my forts gets annihilated and I rage quit. I am literally playing on normal difficulty on the easiest scenario, "Arrogance".
There has to be a way to be good at this without resorting to save scumming or playing the scenario over again so you know what the map looks like.
How many troops should...

> then one of my forts gets annihilated and I rage quit.
First, settle down. You're going to lose a town here and there.
AI heroes are douchebags. If you don't have the Shackles of War, unless you can defeat them in a single round, they're going to blast one of your stacks with a spell and flee.
Build toward a Capitol first. Even if you don't have any resource generators around you, there's always the Marketplace -- though it will be terribly expensive to use until you get more towns.
Never let your opponent...

Gotcha. Thanks. Yeah, this all makes sense. I've started appointing heroes to garrisons yesterday, it helped a bunch. I also found out slow units slow your hero down, which I didn't know, so I've been leaving my earth elementals at home.
How does fleeing work? I assumed it was a surrender button, since my hero always "abandoned the cause" when that happen, which just removed him from the game, so I assumed you still lost everything.
I appreciate the tips. I have my auto save...

If you flee from battle (the running icon), your hero immediately appears in the Tavern with all artifacts, but loses his troops.
You can surrender as well (tattered flag icon), but only to enemy heroes.This allows the hero to keep all artifacts and troops, but delays his appearance in the Tavern until the following day (also carries over to the new week, if you happen to surrender on Day 7).
I just got an AES and I want to buy this converter and the 161 mvs cart.
It's the MVS Magic Key
I hear a lot of shit about the converter. Is it just purists being purists, or are there actual grievances? Like, does it break easily or cause pin damage or anything like that?
I got Samurai Shodown 2 and KoF 94. Pretty stoked so far. Also, make suggestions for AES carts worth hunting down.
>>3021625
AES cunts are some of the most massive cunt's in existence. Don't expect a lot of help.
138 has more games
>>3021884
I saw they have different games. I need to look at the list again.

Classic Tomb Raider vidya thread faggots.
I only played 2 and 3 back in the day and I want to know where do the first 5 games stand in order, and also which versions are the best? I am looking to go down the real ps1 route instead of pc and emulation but unsure how viable it is.
Angel of Darkness is not shit edition
Why PS1? The PC versions of these games are just fine.
I've played a fair bit of 2 and 3 (I bought 2 on release based on the hype of the first game) but I only actually finished the first game recently. I've got to say, it basically completely changed my opinion on the series. Tomb Raider is essentially an alternate interpretation of how the 3D platformer is supposed to look and it's quite fun to play. The original game is basically the definition of "too long" -- it's really, truly, mind-bogglingly long for a single-player platformer --...

There is a lot of combat in 3, on par with 2 probably which isn't too much for my taste. Main thing that 3 has going on for it is that it probably features the biggest variety in levels, you go all around the globe more or less.
Games are visually pretty fucking bad and playing it on pc two feet from the screen is fairly disheartening. PS1 on a real crt that softens the image nicely, couple of meters back on the couch with a gamepad seems a lot more appealing. I played a bit of Last Revelation yesterday...

Hm. My primary PC monitor is a CRT (...my only PC monitor is a CRT) so perhaps that explains why I recommended that version. Carry on then.
I'm going to try TR3 tonight, then. I like the sound of level variety and I suppose I can put up with the combat. It's hardly game-breakingly bad, and variety would be most welcome.
