Finally beat the original Super Mario Bros.! Okay, not original, but the All-Stars version. I kinda feel bad for using the continues, but World 8 was hard as hell! Especially with the hammer bros. But I'm pretty proud after finally completing a game without savestate abuse. Didn't even use 1 savestate
Did you guys struggle with the same game?
Do any of you guys have a bad addiction to savestates?
>>3272069
I used to think that game was hard then i played the lost levels
>>3272069
>inacurate port
>in an emulator
not one but two reasons you haven't even actually played the game at all, let alone beat itlol j/k congrats
>>3272069
Beat dat shit on a nes then call me nugga
What are some great remakes of /vr/ games?
>>3271825
Super Mario All Stars
Resident Evil 1
Duck Tales.
Not the upcoming FFVII one.
Nice to meet you, Gillian. I am Metal Gear MK II.
>>3271752
i always thought metal gear would´ve been something cool but instead it´s this little shit
why they didnt name the series just Snake or Cold War: Nuclear Crisis something since it´s never about the metal gear itself
>>3271752
Metal Gear MK II?!?!
>>3271769
They wanted to call it Intruder originally. They should've stuck with that name. I always the Metal Gear itself felt shoehorn in the sequels, except maybe in MGS1.
better or worse?
also third party controller thread
>>3271650
Worse
>>3271650
Much much better. Also it's barely third party since Nintendo and hori love eachother. It's like the highest quality closest thing you can get to An actual first party controller
The dpad seems like it would be an uncomfortable reach for the left thumb
What's emulation like on Android?
Wouldnt mind some vidya gaymen white on the move
It's solid as far as performance goes, but touch controls are fucking awful.
Works rad. Most systems covered. Get a controller, or get an nVidia Shield Portable.
The NSP completely solves all onscreen control problems for everything. A controller may only work on most emulators, and may be hard to configure, but generally, any android device plus any controller = portable emulation happiness.
>>3271629
I played Chrono Trigger and FF4 in that emulator and had a great timewith Chrono Trigger. Not FF4. Sorry FF fans
I've broke my legs and now i've a lot of time. I would like to play some nice retro rpg, but i can't resolve myself. What do you reccomend? I've already played all the FF from I to IX, Chrone Trigger and Secret of Mana.
Elemental Gimmick Gear if you like zelda-like exploration rpg's.
also the egg-racing minigames are too fun and a challenge.
The Soul Blazer trilogy
The Mother trilogy
Treasure of the Rudras
Tales of Phantasia/Destiny/Eternia/Destiny 2
Star Ocean 2
Valkyrie Profile
The Ogre Battle series
The SaGa series
The Dragon Quest series

![Sega-Dreamcast-Cont-n-VMU[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/M7IEvrM.jpg "Sega-Dreamcast-Cont-n-VMU[1].jpg")
The Dreamcast controller and memory card were bad.
Let's start with the good. The controller is certainly comfortable. It's large, all the buttons are easy to reach, nice triggers and good grips. The analog stick is highly responsive. The VMU screen is occasionally useful, like in Resident Evil. It's nice that you can transfer saves between VMUs just by connecting them to each other.
Most glaringly, there is a severe deficit of buttons. The complete lack of a second analog stick means that the camera in 3D Dreamcast games consistently suffers. Some games map the camera controls to the triggers (Sonic Adventure) or d-pad (Legacy of Kain), but that still limits inputs since you can't look up or down, which is incredibly limiting. Ports of shooters such as Quake or Half Life suffered massively. Compare the Dualshock and it's a simple step backwards. It's in fact a step backwards from Sega's own Saturn 3D controller, since it's also lacking the C and Z buttons. With a console as rich in fighting games as the Dreamcast, it seems like a pretty bizarre decision to remove these buttons.
The analog stick is not comfortable to use for very long. While raised into a comfortable position, the hard plastic that it's made from does not have the grip that the sticks on a Dualshock do. Or again, you can compare the Saturn 3D controller. The d-pad is also mediocre and too floaty.
The VMUs are severely underutilized. 90% of games just display the game's title on the screen, and that's all for the whole game. The minigames that you could use on them were worthless, They drain batteries so quickly that it's not worth replacing them. Worst of all, the capacity was completely pathetic; 200 blocks of 128KB, same as was insufficient on the PS1 4 years prior. Except that's not the full capacity - there are actually 241 usable blocks, with the surplus being arbitrarily disabled.
All in all, it seems like the Dreamcast controller and its VMUs were more about novelty than functionality.

>Ports of shooters such as Quake or Half Life suffered massively
Quake 3 had the best controls out of any console fps game...
It worked fine for the games available.
My only complaint about the controller is the triggers, they really hurt my fingers after very little play time in racing games. This isn't a problem when the game allows remapping to the buttons but most of them dont.
Just picked this up the other day. I like the sprite work and mechanics a lot but I'm glad I didn't pay eBay prices because it's pretty short especially considering it has infinite continues. What does /vr/ think of this one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_fNwHLZ5h4
Yo try getting an A rank in every mission and finishing in one credit (no continues) if you want a challenge.
You know how everyone Marvel Vs Capcom and was like, man, they should really make a strider game using these sprites.
And then they made this and in order to get it to run on the ps they had to go with tiny snes sized sprites on fugly 3D backgrounds running at 30fps and everyone was like OH
OHHHHHH
>>3270874
So there's no S Rank?
What systems have eject buttons?
I know of:
SNES
Famicom
Twin Famicom
Gamecube GBA player
Any more?
This is an english board.
I bought a Super Famicom jr and am kinda missing the eject on the normal super famicom
>>3271613
gonna straight up RIP THAT SHIT OUT
The red field was so much harder than the blue stage. I've had this game since it came out and still struggle to get the flippers to hit the ball in the right angle. The rumble feature was a nice touch
>PIIIKAAAAAA
I've never liked pinball games. No matter what I do, the ball always goes in either the complete opposite direction or just barely to the side of where I want it to go.
>that feel when the ball shoots down from the top of the field at high speed right between the bumpers
and there's nothing you can do about it
>>3269464
>You use flail!
>It's not very effective...
This game is supposed to be Capcom's answer to Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden, right?
So why the fuck does it handle so horribly? It's my first time actually sitting down and trying to play through it for real, and it's infuriating.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but the combination of fucked-up collision detection and awkward, floaty-ass jumping mechanics with no opportunity to correct your trajectory is driving me batshit insane. One of these would be manageable on its own, but having to deal with both in a game that throws hordes of enemies at you Contra-style...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
You keep practicing.
I used to have similar problems with Super Ghouls'n Ghosts but now I can end it without getting hit.
Just keep practicing.
git gut retard, Strider is one of the easiest CPS-1 game
>>3269415
Trial and error.
What happened to all the games you owned as a kid?
Mine were all stolen.
>>3269252
ye mine were all stolen by nigger too
My N64 carts were stolen by a fucking maid. The SNES ones I gave away to a cousin of mine.
I kept my PS1 discs though. All pirated copies too.
I dunno about you guys but I still have all of my games.
NAMCO thread
Nice Thread
I was going to make a Namco thread. I've been playing a lot of their arcade games recently, like Burning Force. Excellent game, and it has my favorite high score/initial entry tune of all time.

You mean NAMCOT
So I recently decided I was going to make it a life goal to get as complete of a Genesis collection as possible, but while I've done this I also am aware that it means a lot of shit and few gems. So in your experience what are gems I should be looking for in my quest for the system?
Already got the entire Sonic line for the system, all in box, complete.

What's your guys' opinion on flash carts like sd2snes? I feel like it pleases emulation faggots and also has some appeal to real retro gamers since you can play it on original hardware for cheap (no paying for expensive games and also translation patches can be used for imports without ruining your original cart).
>>3259389
Fuck off faggot
>>3259328
emulation is my go to for consoles that are hard to find boxed for, as loose carts don't really do much for me on a shelf.
>>3259328
Thinking of picking this up, I tend to just be a guy who wants to play shit on a CRT. So even a Wii with VC emulation will do for me most of the time.
But since I have a SNES with Super Famicom controllers lying around (Japs always sell the cleanest controllers), I'm tempted to play a lot of translated JRPGs that I never played in my childhood on the real thing. It's a kind of weird frankenstein of a setup though.
>>3259328
unless the ability to play mega man x 2 and 3, mario kart and pilot wings are worth $150 to you I would just go for the super everdrive
