I want to make a NGP reproduction cart, i got a bunch of sports games for cheap, and apparently the cartridge it's just a 40 PIN Roms, no extra mappers or anything in the cartridges. Problem is, i cant find what kind of ROM to use. Any ideas?
>>2887502
8bit parallel, and it has a WE pin which is usually Write Enable, so it's probably not actually a ROM. IIRC the NGPC used Flash, so probably the NGP did too. I can't find any with that same pinout, and I don't know what voltage it needs (maybe you'll need a voltage regulator to reduce the voltage for modern Flash), and I don't know the timing requirements. Look for 8bit NOR Flash.
>>2887502
Pretty sure using flash is going to be easier than getting some manufacture to mask some chips that haven't been produced in ages

>maybe you'll need a voltage regulator to reduce the voltage for modern Flash
And if you do, also some kind of buffer chip for the signal lines.
Just trie this on DOSBox and it is amazing. How in the hell they made these physics at that time? also, the game runs silky smooth.
any other TECHNOLOGY retro computer games?

>just trie(d) THIS
oh yeah THAT game.

Don't forget the hardware accelerated versions.
Any advice on setting up multiple systems, without creating a huge mess of wires, causing an an electrical fire, etc...?
My TV only has one set of AV ports, btw.

emulate
>>2888160
Either a splitter box, or just hook up one console at a time.

Do you know which board you're on?
Something always bothered me about this cover. How did Ryu lose?
>>2887487
Your little brother was playing as Ryu and he lost because you gave him the shitty 3d party controller you asshole
it was all a dream, due to the lack of 3 way battles in sf2
Did you know the dictator was called Vega in Japanese and your entire life is a lie?
When you realize Legend of Dragoon's creator worked on Final Fantasy VI as battle planner.
Makes sense, I guess. Both games have a battle engine that can display cutscenes.
GUST OF WIND.... DANCE
he also made super mario rpg's battle engine
both smrpg and lod have timed hits
ffvi's opening credits are real depressing to look at today. is takahashi the only one who's released a game recently?
I finished Earthbound few minutes ago.
Ask me anything.
Did you feel sadness when you met Gyiyg?
>>2887163
Is Giygas. And no, I felt weirdness.
>>2887169
It's Gyiyg.
Giegue/Gyigas are translation errors, like Pokey (porky).
So, I assume you didn't play Mother 1 before playing Earthbound.
How do you collect for systems with a high failure rate?
Say I want to get a Jaguar CD, or a PS2. How am I supposed to buy games for it, knowing that it could die at any time, through no fault of my own?
$$$ and backups.
If using these systems you should use a method that doesn't use optical discs.
For example, with the PS2 I use FreeMcboot to run Open PS Loader and play games from the IDE hard drive I installed in my PS2.
For Dreamcast and Saturn there are SD card loader options.
Unfortunately for Jaguar CD there isn't anything like that, probably for a good reason.
PS2's are cheap as fuck, buy a load of spare ones.
Why was the silent protagonist so popular in older games? I hate silent protagonists.
Voice acting is hard to put on a chip game.
harkens back to the wrpg idea of role playing, as in: playable characters are empty vessels for you to fill with life. never liked that. never liked it either when jrpgs were stuck with that concept.
Just play the game, who cares if the character speaks or not. I'd rather not, actually.
Does anyone here have one of these? I hear they are actually better than the official N64 controllers.
>>2886409
It looks awkward as fuck if you want to use the dpad.
>>2886502
They look awkward as fuck, period. I could get it being better if your hands were tiny
Mine are not.
>>2886409
I was able to use a friend's Hori pad once. Was really nice, but I can't justify spending $50+ on an N64 controller.
Trying to get into the shining force series. Any tips for a new player?
Just play it homie. Game's easy as fuck, but super comfy.
Gort is a beast
Treat Domingo with care, and he will dominate the field.
Be prepared to rage at the circus level, though...those mannequins(?) are dangerous as hell.
Should you promote people right away?
As a child, Secret of Evermore was my favorite video game. I also liked Secret of Mana, but not as much.
I'd like to make a (game that aims to be a) spiritual successor to Secret of Evermore. However, I know it wasn't perfect. In particular, SoE's lack of two-player capabilities is a significant enough flaw that's been rectified by at least one ROM hack that I know of.
So my questions to you are as follows:
1. What do you feel like SoE did better than SoM?
2. What did SoM do better than SoE?
3. What flaws did they both have?

>What do you feel like SoE did better than SoM?
I enjoyed the dark atmosphere much more.
>What did SoM do better than SoE?
I can't think of anything. Not saying its a bad game though. I love SoM, but there is nothing that really sets it apart, imo.
>What flaws did they both have?
Dumb partner A.I, at times. Though this didn't bother me that much, SoM seemed to be much worse.

Would FF9 have been more popular if Zidane was a brooding grumpus like Cloud and Squall before him?

He would have been more popular if he wasn't a manlet monkey boy that wore a vest without a shirt underneath like vaan the fuccboi

get a load of this obnoxious faggot
"What the hell happened?" The thread
Didn't this game feature fighting game style command moves that weren't explained anywhere outside the manual? I didn't think it was that bad.
>>2885148
Sure you aren't thinking of this?
What is the most disturbing game released before 1999?
My vote goes to Harvester.
>>2884786
i never understood the appeal about harvester, what's the gist?
what in the fuck am i looking at
>>2884825
It's batshit insane hamfisted satire and at the same time was very much before its time in a lot of ways.
Starting with a quite well-known one.
The Darkstalkers series had some really cool and memorable stages.
>>2884534
This one fucks with my mind
