Emuparadies is a good direct-download site, though their PS1 section has some bad apples.
Some examples: Spyro: Year of the Dragon is using the Paradox crack and Driver 2 has an Emuparadise screen at the start, both are from before EP had alphabetized and expanded it's PS1 list some many years ago. Not sure if they fix them now though.
>>2779416
my rompacks are from emuparadise and internetarchive.
Can you recommend it?
My pick is Adventures of Rubble Saver 2 on the Game Boy, localised as fucking Max, who was resposible for this? Anything would've been better than Max. To the game itself, it's a decent action platformer. The outstanding feature is the grappling hook, which is sadly underused. Overall not very challenging or pretty and they reused some level sections at times, like in SML1.
I've completed Martian Gothic on the ps1 multiple times. Fuck no, I don't recommend it.
Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon R on the SNES. Do yourself a favor and don't play this piece of shit. You can beat this shitty brawler for the most part just jumping and kicking with Sailor Mars, it's ridiculous.
Play something else, like Double Dragon, or even the Kamen Rider games on the same console.
>>2779032
Well, I know there are other Sailor Moon beat'em ups on the system. None of them any good? Weren't some even released in Europe? France I think?
How do you become more immersed in retro games? There are a lot of games that I really want to play and love the thought of playing, Final Fantasy, some Zelda games, etc. but I can't sit down long enough to put in any time on them.

Where is the guy with the youtube channel who was up to upload replays?
Anyone ever used any game of the series? Are they any good? Can I even use them without knowing Japanese?

Stupid me, never mind I just read the full thread.
Bought this but can't get a display on my HDTV's, it gives me a "signal out of reach" message but it does work on my monitors. Is there anyway to get VGA to work on my HDTV's?
>>2774028
Forgot to mention that it's the VGA cable for the Dreamcast, also this is what my monitor shows:
Modern HDTV doesn't even have VGA anymore.
Probably not liking the 720x480 signal.

The one's at my house does.

ITT: games you want to see translated, but probably won't because they're not well known enough.
There is a ton of stuff that I liked to get translated. Like anime games, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Hunter x Hunter, One Piece, Ushio to Tora, Zeiram/Iria, GeGeGe no Kitaro got a lot of games.
The Super Chinese World aka Super Ninja Boy series made major improvements through out the series, but we only got the first. The Great Battle series looks like great fun. Maten Densetsu: Senritsu no Ooparts looks like a great RPG in the vain of Shin Megami Tensei. Traverse: Starlight and Prairie a great RPG late in the SNES cycle. Idea no Hi and Maka Maka, weird stuff. Metal Max!...

Metal Slader Glory. I know that someone supposedly has been working on this for a long time and there is even a partially complete ROM floating around some people, but if it's not complete & released, it may as well not exist.
What are the best deals you ever got? Mine is pic related for ~26$. I also got cables and 2 joypads for SNES, i just didn't included them in the photo
Your mom for about tree fiddy.
I got a Sega Genesis model 1, like 40 games (mostly sports but a couple good ones like sonic 1 and two and stuff), three controllers, an arcade stick style controller, an N64 full racing wheel and pedal setup, two ps1 racing wheels, for like 80bucks.

J-rpgs are UNPLAYABLE now. As a kid, you could be so easily amused, but boring as hell to an adult. It's all just a few menus, stat building. And there's no complexity to the stats or anything so it takes no thought.
>>2765887
These are all the things I find enjoyable about JRPG's. The slow pace, the simple mechanics. If I wanted to play Dark Souls I'd just do it.
Playing FF 12 after getting sick of JRPG is a breath of fresh air. Programming your AI is fun and very helpful
>>2765887
play JRPGs with actual battle systems like Paper Mario or Megaman Battle Network
Can we have a Diablo/Diablo 2 Thread? I have been playing Eastern Sun for D2 and am wondering what mod I should play for D1 to make it a better experience when I finish this one.
Why did it have to permanently ruin CRPGs forever?

It didn't you are just jaded.

Playing imports.
The shoddiest video output of any console.
Other than that, amazing console.
Great system.

What's your day job /vr/? Anything to do with games/computers? Developer here. Nothing game related, but hacking on an android port of pcsx2 is one of my hobbies.
Working on PhD. Having a grand old time.
Unemployed. Got my degree in comp sci.
Strongly considering what I should do with my life. Either Indie dev or get a job somehwere.
>>2786937
You should go work. Find a good work/life balance. I tend to feel better while employed, the worst life is sitting around browsing 4chan all day.
No one has love for the classic Tomb Raider games?
I've been recently re-playing them, and it amazes me how very playable they still are (graphics aside obviously), and how large and complicated the areas are.
horribly dated controls
these days I can get tits on the internet
not worth it
I absolutely fucking adore the Tomb Raider games. Up until Last Revelation they're maximum comfy.
>>2783808
4chan never was much enthusiastic over tomb raider games much.
The reboot games spawn some threads, but mostly due to (anti)sjw articles or for anti casual threads.
Personally I enjoyed TR4, Anniversary and Guardian Of Fun.
I quit TR4 halfway through, when I had to movw through 3 different levels for progression and lost track of what i'm supposed to do. Anniversary became repetitive halfway through the same stuff, just more complicated. I felt like I wouldn't aee anything new, just sink...

Let's talk Japanese retro vidya.
In hindsight isn't it weird that such a random country is responsible for half of what video games are? Think about it, imagine if it was any other random ass asian country, like Laos or something, wouldn't it be weird as fuck?
>>2783575
Anon, Laos it's a shitty third world isolated country destroyed by war, Japan was the second economy power in the entire world just some years ago. I don't think you're making any sense.
>>2783582
Truth.
Look up the Meiji restoration OP and stop being such a faggot.

You know, as interesting as this is (thank you for the update, BTW) the haters are correct about one thing: the guy definitely does come across as some sort of doofus.
Why are we excited over this thing again?
>>2783383
The allure of what might have been.
