What's the point of this fucking thing if it won't recognize 75% of my roms?
>>3364496
To provide a unified front end for emulators for those who use proper dumps and not garbage dumps.
I personally don't like it and prefer stand-alone emulators, but either way you should go get proper dumps for your games. It's 2016, there's no reason to still be keeping copies of subpar dumps.
>>3364503
How to get good dumps without getting all that prototype shit, rom hacks and a lot of diffferent versions for the same game? It becomes a real pain to browse through the playlist with all that crap.

Get good.
Will we ever see a Redneck Rampage reboot?
It's not exactly a highly popular franchise. Most people have never even played the sequel, which is a shame because it's much better than the original.
A sourceport for sale like Megaton or Redux is more likely; especially if Blood gets one and it's also successful.
I fucking wish. We need more oddball surreal games.
I've thought about making an unofficial sequel. Redneck Rampage is one of my favorite first-person shooters. I don't want to go to all the trouble if nobody's interested, though.
Time Travel thread.
You have the power to go back and time and change 1 event in video game history. What event do you change? What should happen instead? What effect are you hoping that this will have on the future?
I'd prevent them from every happening. Where they are now and they people they've created aren't worth the <20 years of decent games
Not even video game history. If I could go back in time and could have the power to change an even in history, I'd make the internet never go mainstream.
Would make it stop around Myspace times, when people suddenly decided that it was okay to upload their real life photos and personal information to the internet. I would also make the internet stay at 56k, or 1MB at most.
Exchange information is OK, but not streaming shit.
Also, kill cell phones, definitely. Or let them stay as phones, smart phones/devices were a mistake.
That alone should make not only...

>I'd make the internet never go mainstream
>Would make it stop around Myspace times
So about 6 years after it became mainstream. Got it.
>Stay at 56k or 1,024k at the most
Uhhhhhhh. That's a pretty big gap between what you'd do and what you'd settle for.
>Exchange (of) information is okay, but not streaming shit
Fuck off. Streaming shit is awesome....

I play some Teleroboxer.
What makes old games special for you? I enjoy them but I don't know why. I just love them for no visible reason.
Maybe you know why?
More ludo, less cinema.

Why you are using my country's poor money to start a thread?
>>3364395
Because DOS is written here, so it's retro.
What's wrong with this again?

Did a e-celeb recently do this or are people really that dumb to make the same thread twice.
We literally have the exact same thread in the catalog, the thing we have to prevent just this sort of thing from happening.
In short, go duck yourself.

Kill yourself OP, we just had this stupid bait thread. We all know that port is trash.
How often do you guys consult things like faqs or walkthroughs when you get stuck while playing an older game that you haven't played before?
Do you try to avoid it? Do you feel like you should avoid it? Do you not give a fuck?
Playing Ys1 (the 01 version) had me scratching my head on more than one occasion.
I sometimes search up the web looking for hints to a specific part if I've been stuck on it for a real long time, don't have anyone available to ask, and also don't feel like I'm going to get anywhere anytime soon continually bashing my head against the problem.
It's cheating, plain and simple, so I really prefer figuring things out on my own whenever I can.
I only do it to save time; like what are the exact unstated requirements to do X (like get the Excalibur II in FF9), what single thing did I miss 8 hours ago on my 99% file, what arbitrary npc flag do I need to find now after having just talked to every NPC in order to advance the plot, etc.
Sometimes it's just stuff that I remember incorrectly and got confused about and have to double check because I don't take notes on videogames that often.
Often as a replacement for spreadsheets that I'm too lazy to make myself or any number of things really.
There's...

I almost dont use them at all.
A week ago I had to because I was stuck in a part of a MoH Pacific Assault game while playing on Hard(that was the key mistake) and didnt helped me one bit.
I know its not retro but the game suffers from serious bugs that come apparent when difficulty is increased.
Sniper grenades,and 3 machine gun nests on a corridor shooter is no fun.
is $350 too much to ask for the sega stuff? I bought most of it brand new at kay-bee toys when I was a kid. everything is complete except the menacer is missing some of the cardboard inserts
>>3363903
350 for all that is a steal.
should I try and bundle in my complete attache gg setup? I have everything but the link cable and modded the battery pack with a new rc car pack
If you're a Saudi prince sure why not
Other than that seems like a waste of money
Saw it recommended on the wiki. Looks pretty good and from what I can gather the best version of this series and faithful to arcade. Have never actually bought a puzzle game despite liking puzzle mini games and tetris in a lot of series. Where does this stack up in the genre?
>>3363628
I personally really like Puzzle Bobble 3 on the saturn, this is fine though.
It's the weakest of the 4 Puzzle Bobble's but it's still pretty good, has a big emphasis on physics and weight shifting. 3 is the best though.
So I wanted to play Snatcher, but since I'm living in europe and this game is very rare today, I wanted to emulate the sega cd version on the Fusion emulator. The Problem is, that right after the title screen another screen appears that says:
Return to control screen, initialize at option screen
- press start button-
After pressing the start button i get a black screen. No other button works while I'm on the other screen. Any solution to this problem?
>>3363574
Wich BIOS did you used?
>>3363596
USA BIOS : us_scd1_9210
>>3363610
Try this ones.
Also select the cd driver.
I'm fed up with the idea that we can't play old games for discontinued systems like Atari and so on. I understand developers keep the copyright for so long so people don't recreate the game and make profit off of it. But people still do and get away with it. I also understand that they keep the copyright to secure the market and stop piracy. But it still happens. So, why not change the legality of downloading roms? I think that they should be able to keep the copyright for as long as it is now(75 years), but after a period of 1-5 years after the game and system...

It's cool bro, just delete the rom before 24 hours passes and you're good.
>>3363464
Given the current laws in the US, that's not the case anymore. If you have something saying otherwise, please tell me. https://assets.documentcloud.org/.../2488067/2015-27212.pdf pg. 54-56

It's a joke, anon. Something rom distributors used to say back then.
I don't like killing these dogs you guys
it's worse when they make cute dog noises
stupid pussy cat loving developers hate dogs so they put this shit in games
Deal with it OP, you're saving the world here.
I got one of these bad boys in the mail a couple of days ago. I already put a complete set of games on there, what are some other interesting things I can play on it? Things like romhacks, homebrew, utilities, demos, etc.

Fallout Resurection came up today. http://resurrection.cz/en/
It's a total conversion mod for Fallout 2 that's been in the works since the 2000 or so.
>mods
Not bad. Do any other FO2 mods go this extensive? I've only ever used the unofficial patch.
>>3363374
Looks cooool
So some friends of mine got themselves an Arcade cab, but we can't seem to find any info on it. It says it's a Dynamo HS 7, model No. 021700000
but whenever we look it up, we cant find any info an an HS 7. is it an HS 27 and the label is just faded? or has all recorded history of an HS 7 been wiped from the earth?
>>3363357
It's a fucking wooden box designed for any shitty American game. Probably has a jamma interface, that's about it.
Probably the only known HS-7 model cab in the world. Does that actually make it valuable? Probably not especially if it doesn't have any obvious unique qualities. Does it?
>>3363371
well it is pretty beat up so they are trying to find any info on it to sort of restore it to what it was supposed to look like.
>>3363379
I dont think so.
