Hey, what does /vr/ think of my modded gameboy? I got it for making 8 bit music (chiptune) but, as you can see, battletoads is also enjoyed.
do you have autism?
>>2800096
Maybe, why?
Levels that made you break controllers.
I bit on my controllers
>>2800086
I bit a few cords. There were so many rage-inducing games in the 90's.
What does /vr/ think of this game? I got it recently for cheap and it seems decent. The elements system seems like it might have its flaws but the music, setting, and premise are pretty interesting. Thoughts?
You can completely bruteforce your way through this game with no probs. Elements are useless except for the last boss battle.

dont mean to be rude desu senpai but there's still a thread about this game on the catalog

Shit, really? I thought they would at least have some tactical use by the sounds of things. Maybe I'm just spoiled by FF Tactics where you can really plan out what you do.
For those consoles I don't have I must emulate.
My video card has a composite port.
When I plugged it into my CRT and turned on the computer it showed the POST and boot sequence and then the display turned black when it got to the login screen. The computer monitor still showed the desktop.
I looked on google but they only have tutorials for modern flat TVs.
I tried a bunch of options in the control panel such as resolution and monitor select but I can't get it work.
Check your driver if you can set up the TV as a secondary or primary monitor with the correct format.
simple question with very complicated answer.
ideally you want to output 15khz 240p using soft15khz or arcadeVGA . You then need an RGB capable monitor or RGB-YUV transcoder.
this is assuming your looking for best quality.

Hey, /vr/.
Legend of Mana is one of my favorite games ever, despite of its flawed story and overall development.
So, the question is:
Does difficulty matter?
well dude you're asking /vr/, this boards only call in life is bragging about their 1cc in some obscure japanese arcade board no one heard about. of course they will shit on your thread
>>2799503
The game's still piss easy even at the highest difficulty setting, mostly because as per the tradition of the series the combat system is a goddamn clunky mess and whoever designed it and thought it was good should seriously reconsider his whole life.
Everything else is top tier though, immortal graphics that could only be rivalled by SaGa Frontier 2, great score, good writing, it is even non linear.
>>2799527
It's not so much that it's just really easy. The programming is messed so that even on Nightmare mode where everything is level 99 and extra buffed, it doesn't apply to bosses.
The combat does kind of suck because you're stuck to just facing left and right, but it doesn't ruin the game and pic related is a good example that a game doesn't have to be hard to be fun.
Hey /vr/, I plan on making a 16-bit styled video game (don't worry, it's not retro, so I won't shill it here), however I'm still not sure what kind of game I want to make, so I'm looking for some inspiration. What is your favorite game(s) of the 16-bit era?
>>2799447
what? you don't have your own favorite games? you need help deciding what you want to make, let alone skill or knowledge to pull that off?
Just quit, you'll never go anywhere acting like that.
Will you pay us a consulting fee?
itt: games that were almost decent, but fatally flawed.
pic related, I tried this out and it's almost fun. with savestates, it is fun. but the fact that you only have 1 hp and everything kills you makes it really frustratingly difficult to play through fairly.
also this. it's almost decent, I liked the towers and boss fights. but the dungeons are mindbendingly ridiculous, you start off too weak, you always get sent back to the beginning, too many cheap ways of getting killed, etc. the basic idea is not bad at all and I always liked the atmosphere, but the execution is what ruins it.
I forgot to mention that silver surfer has amazing music.
>>2799337
true, but the walls killing you made it that much worse.
I realize the convention, but silver surfer is ridiculous as is. with HP and/or harmless walls it would be pretty good.
hey /vr/, just beat ninja gaiden on the nes and have to say it was one of my favorite nes games! just wanted to know what you guys think about this trilogy on the nes.
NG1 is my favorite game of all time. It never gets old. Wasn't so into 2 or 3 but they're still good.
Enjoyed all the NES games. NG3US nearly drove me insane, but I cleared it.
>>2799214
I want to try the famicom version but I don't feel like buying a system for 1 game

Does anyone know a good audio video switcher that doesn't have lag and lower the quality? I noticed mine lowers the quality and causes faint lines to scroll up the screen. Pic related. That's the one I use
>>2798918
I'm using a cheap RCA 4 port switcher. Has S-video/Composite for all four ports, haven't noticed any lag and the quality is the same as plugging the cables directly in.
Don't know if it has a part number, and it's kinda tied into a lot of cables, all I see is Audio/Video/S-Video Selector on the front with the RCA logo.

>>2798992
This one?
>>2798918
>have lag
how in the world would a an AV switcher add lag? I swear you lagphobics are superstitious.
Just played through this again for the first time in 15 years. Never played any of the other ones before.
The replayability is awesome. Story is awesome.
Thoughts?
meh
>>2798730
Thanks for your verbosity
If you're not restricted to retro games, you should play 2&3 as they're excellent as well.

Name a videogame released in or before 2000 with better realtime human facial animation than Turok 3.
this facial animation looks better than fallout 4 desu
>>2798917
Pong has better facial animation than Fallout 4 dtebshu
Why does Murasamejou get the occasional nod, but this shining example of classic gaming doesn't get any recognition? Surely Mike Jones, with two games to his name, commands more respect than Takamaru or the various other one-hit wonders that Nintendo trots out every once in a while.
literally whiteboy: the game
Probably because most Nintendo games are made in Japan, and StarTropics was only released for the NA audience.

I'm gonna be going on vacation to Japan (Tokyo and Osaka) in January.
What are some good arcades, game bars, and stores to check out?
>>2798545
Super Potato.
>Game Bars
Where do you think you're going? Portland?
In Osaka, I'd recommend Space Station as a video game bar to check out, as it's owned by an American and is very foreigner friendly. Get there at opening though (8pm) as it fills up quick as it's very small. Also, there is a mandarake near by which has a decent selection of games.
Also in Osaka, do to Den Den Town and particularly the Super Potato there. It's loads better than the Akihabara Super Potato, which is utter shit.
If you have to visit Akiba, stop by BEEP Shop for some really lesser-known Japanese PC-related stuff.
What do you guys think of Harvester?
>>2798520
Why you wanna know, homeslice?
Were you one of the developers?
I like it, until you go into the Lodge. That was the worst part for me.
I especially like all those easter eggs and the replayability of the game
>>2798535
I wish I could be insane enough to make this.
I bought it a while ago and found it intriguing, just wondering what everyone else thinks.
I just finished Beneath a Steel Sky and frankly I don't understand why adventure gaming enthusiasts seem to like it so much. The comic panel intro seemed quite innovative and I was expecting something completely different, but the story was a mess, characters bland and backgrounds all drawn in such exciting colours as brown and grey.
It wasn't all bad, but it was just so mediocre that I felt a little betrayed because of the great expectations. I was always wondering whether the start was just slow and the game would get interesting at some point but it didn't.
It...
