what retro vidya will you guys be playing during new years eve?
FF7 and Ikaruga. Prolly R Type 3
I bought a bunch of platformers I already played because I had extra money in my 3ds wallet. Kirby dream land 1 and 2, SMB and Sonic 1. Should be able to finish them all pretty quick.
Also got Shovel Knight but that doesn't count.

I'm going to a party where there's a galaga cabinet. I've been practicing but I'm the worst galaga player of all time.
The only correct layout.
I don't mind this at all in J-PS1 games, but I also don't mind in SNES menus when these buttons are reversed.
>>2889354
Is there any official explanation as to why they did that change in America? was it even SONY's idea or did one publisher do it and the others started copying it?
I've heard a lot of rumors and personal opinion but nothing official, you would expect this would have been mentioned in some sort of document or interview by now.
>>2889429
X marks the spot, my nigga.
This is probably my favorite 3D platformer of all time. What'd you think of it, /vr/? Did you like it more or less than its sequel, Future? Also who was your favorite character to play as?
Beat 4 eva

UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND. UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF LOVE.
Also I feel the first one had much more direction. Upon playing the second one after many years I was a bit disappointed.
>>2886419
I'm completely the opposite. I prefer Future by a vast margin. The gameplay is a lot faster paced and the level design is amazing. I love the Dinosaur Park level with all the roller coasters to grind on. I also liked that it had a bunch of multiplayer modes.
I beat this back when I was a youngster and recently received it as a gift. Is it just because Im running this on a newer system or have the physics in this always been kind of buggy? I go to jump off certain slopes and stick to edges, get stuck on corners, particle geometry becomes unpassable etc. I really dont remember it being such a hassle to traverse obstacles or avoid structures and its getting me killed quite alot!
>>2886340
Most likely the latter, but also possibly that they fucked shit up since. Almost definitely nothing to do with your new system. HL has always been buggy and it's gotten better and worse in various ways over the years. Even enemies are invincible during some animations. It's not a flawless game and if you think it was super duper when you were a kid, it's because you were a kid being too dump and amazed by novelty to objectively examine it.
>>2886357
It really bogs my noggin as to how anyone who played deathmatch didn't die consistently from the environment alone.
>>2886340
>I go to jump off certain slopes and stick to edges, get stuck on corners
Make sure you didn't turn on "-dev" mode and play beyonf 100 fps. Goldsource engine needs to be capped to 100 fps for physics to work properly. Most noticeable when you're playing a surf map in CS 1.6.
Anyone know a good place to torrent/download n64, SNES, and nes games?
the rom depot
What are the best games for that Genesis/Mega Drive twang sound? Failing that, best Genesis/Mega Drive soundtracks? I love that fucking soundchip.
Thunder Force III - Back to the Fire (Stage 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXfGEgLfO-k
Best piece of 16 bit music full stop if you ask me.

>>2884497
All 3 of those are amazing. Honestly if I was to put together a top 10 soundtracks ever list, 7 of them would probably be from Mega Drive games.

cool topic bro get into this ost one of the best :D

CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE?
I don't know this feel. I can't name a single game I love that the rest of the world doesn't love too.
I hated it for years until someone pointed out that I was controlling it wrong. Don't treat your character like a bipedal person, treat them like a car. B to accelerate, triggers for tight turns, only use the analogue stick for turns, never press up to accelerate, remember it's a car not a person.
It's very misunderstood, I think most people don't understand how to control it and write it off as a result.
Let's play a game, /vr/. Post level design pics and others discuss it.
To start off, let's look at this section from S3K, AIZ2. Specifically, examine the middle right side. There's a spring, a swinging vine, a Rhinobot, and some curved ground. It all seems rather... pointless, does it not? There's no rings or other power ups to gain by entering that area, and the swing isn't needed for anything. Why does the ground curve up only to lead immediately into a ceiling? And why is it protected by an enemy when there's nothing here for it to guard?...

Imagine playing sonic 1 or 2 and you can see the entire map. zoomed out like OP's pic.
Letting you go fast as fuck without being suddenly surprised by a barrier or enemy
>>2882929
Yes. In HD. With more, bigger levels. Better powerups.
That's what Sonic should have become, instead of this 3D bullshit. Imo.
>>2882924
I don't know what the motivation was, but I did like coming across stuff like that in the old Sonic games. It made the levels feel more organic than the obviously contrived left-to-right obstacle courses you saw in other 2D platformers.
(Also the music for that level is now playing in my head)
Was the Game Boy really more powerful than the NES.
If it had color, maybe.
Ultimately a far superior choice to the SEGA Gamegear.
>>2882645
Gamegear was back lit. Nintendo lost until the SP came out, AND that didn't even need batteries (neither did the Game gear, just plug it in)
Hard to compare that stuff.
It has a lower resolution and no color. But it had stereo sound, diagonal scrolling (without special chips) and parallax. I'm wondering how many sprites they could push.
http://www.rickard.gunee.com/projects/playmobile/html/3/3.html
According to this site the GB could handle 40 sprites on screen with a max size of 8x16 and the NES could handle 64 with the same size limit.
It's a hard choice. Sprites are important, but on the little screen, you don't need that many sprites. I'd say the GB is a better handheld system...

DK & DD Anyone played this? Still playing it.
I know not many people know about this game anymore with expect for the mobile version that was nothing like the game.
Dungeon Keeper is my childhood. However, the series is dead. The mobile game is nothing like the originals, and the originals either don't play on anything past XP or are relatively hard to find.
There's always the GOG edition though.
If you want to stay /vr/, there's no option then besides the Deception series.
War for the Overworld is always there for you in actual vidya tho.

>There's always the GOG edition though.
Good point.
i got over 60 super Nintendo games and i am looking to get more. Will anyone recommend me and new games for me to buy. if i already don't have it

You could've just bought a flashcart if your focus is less on collecting and more on good games to play.

Is pinball /vr/?
I fucking love pinball. Playing Pokemon Pinball on my GBC was a lot of fun and actually taught me a lot about how to hit specific targets on a cabinet! The city I live in has a lot of pinball cabinets around so whenever I'm bored I can just throw a few quarters in and play. Pic related, my fucking favorite
However, are pinball cabinets video games?
Im pretty sure it is!
I love pinball aswell and play it anytime i see one. sadly i dont think there is any in my hometown :(
Only if they're in videogame form.

Jesus Fucking Christ does no one read the sticky at the top of the page?
Got the 5500-5502.bin files in system folder
Got my .cue file set up correctly
Got mednafen though retroarch
Running in admin mode
Whenever I try to load a .cue I get "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way"
I'm able to emulate Cube games so pretty sure the problem isn't hardware related.
>>2888256
Emphasis on RETROARCH. It's a bug with RETROARCH, not Mednafen. Standalone Mednafen doesn't randomly fuck up or decide to not work for no reason.
As for your problem, I'd suspect that's the intended behavior. It is RETROARCH you're using after all.
Check if the system directory path where you put your BIOS files is actually set in RA

This.
Why do people insist on using that stupid all-in-one GUI instead of reading 2 lines of documentation?
Find a flaw.
Some emulators have trouble emulating it.
>>2883050
And famiclones struggled with it for years, and may still do so!
>>2883048
Western version is fucked and makes you go through the trouble of getting a famicom or a famicom adapter.
We know that the dye of burned discs is less reflective than the pits/valleys of pressed discs and that the transition from pit to valley is
not as sharp on the dye of burned discs.
It is rumored that playing burned games will cause the disc drive to wear out and become inoperable.
Is this really true?
How does this happen?
Does the diode burn out from having to squeeze its lazer harder with more electricity?
Does the motor die from having to move the laser head too often?
Do burned games have longer load times?
How long does it usually...

What speed should CD-Rs be burned at?
Is it best to use premium or legacy CD drives to burn games?
Some game backups downloaded online have the music/cutscenes ripped to reduce size.
I have heard that some rips change to CD audio to MP3. How does this work if the console doesn't natively support MP3 playback?
How can I identify these degraded disc images?
What is the difference between .iso vs .bin+.cue vs .ccd+.img+.sub? Which is considered best?
We know that the Dreamcast has a GD-ROM drive not a CD-ROM drive.
Does this mean that burned...

Holy shit, you have a lot of questions about this. I think this is the most questions I've ever seen asked about a particular subject at once.
Unfortunately, I don't have answers to any of them.
Most of the questions here are more fit to be posted on /g/.
