It worked, but the Battlescape is kind of too fast which is disconcerting. Also it forces the computer into 640x480 resolution which looks distorted on the monitor I was using.
Tried a test game. Got off to an ok start. One fucking Sectoid who was playing hide-and-seek in a barn killed half my squad, then the next mission I bagged a...

I don't even know why they gave him Gradius. Everyone knows he stood no chance of beating it. The AD played more than Arino did.
>>2738052
Boy I love spoilers being the first thing i see when entering a thread
>>2738141
It's Gradius. Shmups are his worse genre. If you seriously thought he had a chance in hell of winning you've clearly never watched the show to begin with.
Still waiting

Why don't you just fucking wait for him to scan it and make a new thread? Do we really need to have a 24/7 thread that's nothing but bumps?
>>2734089

come on man.
Also, this thread is a scanning guide/anything /vr/-related thread. People discuss, post pics, etc of their guides, and help each other with scanning tips.
If you don't like it, for whatever paperphobic reason, you can hide the thread.

Fishing for replies edition.
Tibia is a fishing simulator with built in IRC and persistant MMORPG side game where you level up to fight bigger, nastier things between your ever important fishing expeditions. It was thrown into the ocean that is the internet in 1997. The bulk of /tbg/ occasionally logs in on two servers: Secura (located in Europe where we have the guild Yotsubas) and Fidera (located in North America where we have the guild Sengoku). Choose the server you have the best connection to and post your name & world in here for a guild invite or venture out...

The majority of problems with cartridge-based consoles can be remedied by cleaning the cartridge slot and the contacts of your games even if they are not visibly dirty. Consult the Game and Console Cleaning guide here:
http://www.gametechwiki.com/w/index.php/Game_and_Console_Cleaning
If you have any questions about a non-/vr/ console, try posting on the forum ( http://forums.gametechwiki.com/ ) and letting us know here that you did.
Does anyone have experience fixing NeoGeo MVS controls?
My second player A button (and to a lesser extent B and C) "works" but it requires a really hard button press. I assume the connection is good, and maybe its just the contacts are worn down or something, since it does register the button press on occasion.
I figure if I'm going to do one, I may as well do the rest. I'll probably end up posting on the neogeo forums at some point regardless.
Idk where to ask this but how good are VGA to Component converters because most 480p signals look like shit on my LCD unlike VGA signals like on my DC which look great
How do I properly bend this pin back in place?

Doing a search for "Doom" on DeviantArt was not a good idea.
>>2742574
Doing a search on DeviantArt is never a good idea.
Which was better and why?
never really played single player, but I vote Q1.
faster pace, better art style, and still the smoothest game engine ever made.
Since I only played singleplayer when both where released, I go with Q2.
My vote is for Q2. I dig the strogg over mish-mash of cuthulu and clive baker like freaks, weapons were great (first appearance of RailGun!), colour pallete in game was wider (Q1 had its pallete shifted towards brown, gray and black, 'cuz of technical limitations at the time), level design was much more vertical and varied, with bigger levels, there was some degree of back-tracking (with fresh enemy spawns, of course), soundtracks for both games were superb, but Q2 takes the cake for me. Also, Q2 engine was basis for first HL engine, so it had more untapped potential in...

Why did the Persians have war elephants? They weren't used much after the Sassanids and even for that time the Immortals seem more fitting.
Elephants should have been assigned to Indian and Indochinese empires.
my strategy is making units and attackingas opposed to playing simcity with aoe graphics
the rest is ephemeral
Is there something to play games on an hd tv that doesnt nake them look like a fuzzy mess? I swear I saw a product or the like posted here aside from just emulating. It doesn't look completely terrible but it does look like someone smeared butter over the game when its in motion.
Sure, but it's gonna cost you 'bout three fiddythree hundred fifty
>>2737623
Google xrgb
>>2737623
Turn your sharpness way down and brightness down and your contrast up a little. Also set the aspect ratio to something more reasonable. And VC games have a bicubic type filter that you can't disable.
where am i supposed to grind after sorpigal in m&m1?
i did the delivery quest to erliquin but came right back. all the monsters outside are too tough for me but the cave downstairs doesnt give good xp
i easily have about 700 gp between my party btw
there's nothing to spend it on and all the best drops come from mob chests
>>2737436
You can buy good equipment in Erliquin and Dusk.
What level do you have? the monsters in C2 shouldn't be too hard.
The cave near Sorpigal seems like the most natural choice as the next dungeon.
What is the best party for this game? I started playing it recently and I'm using two Knights, archer, robber, cleric, and sorcerer. Did I do it right?
Can someone tell me what game this is? I've been trying to find the name of the game for the past month and still no dice.
>>2736971
I'm like 90% that isn't a real game.
Look man, I'm going to be an asshole because you don't know how to use the fucking internet.

Let's end this debate once and for all:
Is The Granstream Saga part of the Soul Blazer series? What are pro arguments, what are contra arguments?
Yes:
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/quintet/quintet4.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Granstream_Saga
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_Blazer#Legacy
The only counter-argument is that you can make a case that there actually is no Soul Blazer "series," just a collection of similarly themed games from a conceptual standpoint. The premise of the games are loosely similar but gameplay and plot are different.
If you accept that Soul Blazer is connected to Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma, then it is also connected to Granstream...

>>2736287
Thanks for the input. I knew about the links, but are there any direct references in Granstream Saga to the other games? Like Illusion of Gaia had Solid Arm from Soul Blazer, and the in-game development team in Terranigma referring to it as Illusion of Gaia 2?
I gues the first boss of Granstream kinda resembles the first boss of Illusion, withe the two hands, the horns and the third eye in the middle
>>2736323
Ill stick to PS1 troubles for now, when i hooked up my ps1 with rgb scart some solid colours had a very annoying chequerboard like stitching pattern to it like pic related. I thought switching to a special luma sync scart cable would help but occasionally the patterns remain. Switching to composite eliminate the problem but the overall sharpness and quality suffers. Anyone know a way around this?
Take it apart and check for shorts
>>2735902
what are shorts? and is there a link to a guide of how to do that? im not very hands on with techhy stuff.
>>2735903
SCART plugs are cavernous, just unscrew the plastic case and slide it down the cable a bit then make sure no pins are connected to other pins by solder tails or wire fibers.
Vigilante 8 or Twisted Metal 2?
>>2735882
Twisted Metal 2 because it was the Street Fighter of car combat. V8 suffered from framerate issues IIRC. V8 2nd was pretty great but not nearly as suited for competitive play.
TM2, hands down. V8 was fun and all, but I preferred the tighter controls and art style of Twisted Metal 2.
>>2736157
Yeah. Tank controls for cars beat more realistic car control.
Hey I just beat SotN for the first time since I didn't have a PS1 growing up so you know kiss my ass.
What game did you just beat thread.
As an aside what castlevania game should I play next.
>>2735852
No Castlevania will top SotN, so you might as well avoid the rest.
>>2735859
If you like the classic games more, any of them could top SOTN.
If you like the igavanias more, then yeah maybe SOTN might be the best (I wouldn't know because the only one in that style that I played was SOTN, but I prefer pretty much any of the classics over SOTN for sure)
by the way, inb4 this turns into another castlevania shitposting thread
