Previous thread: >>3208251
This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

Don't have a BKM-10R to control your shiny used BVM? Now you don't need one.

I was able to find the online auctions the guy in the last thread spoke of.
There is a Sony BVM-20F1U for sale. Supposedly a good gaming CRT. Do I go for it /vr/?
So I use this RCA Tube TV with component on my ps2 and overall it looks fine, but when calibrating a tube, where should the sharpness setting be?
Retro games you've played as a kid and still haven't beaten to this day
>No rings for a two part boss fight
Fucking how.

Ninja Gaiden III
I've beaten the shit out of 1 and 2, but seriously 3 has some long long ass levels sometimes and some seriously tough bosses. Maybe I just need to git gud. sigh
>>3217350
Don't feel bad. I don't think I've beaten Metal Sonic either. The first game is better.
>>3217361
Play the Japanese version. It has unlimited continues and even a password system

We'll see.
Can anyone beat these candid vintage HQ pics of a 12(!) year old Mila Jovovich? I submit them as the "gold standard"
Have you paid your respects yet, /vr/?

What I wanna know is why it was Namcot for a bit.

Home division.
Six years ago today I found my Coleco Pac-Man mini arcade cabinet at a thrift store for like $3 and I only later that day realized that it was Pac-Man day later when I saw the Google Doodle. Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.
So a couple of years after having to let my NES and powerpak go I've managed to get hold of a HD modded NES frontloader and another powerpak. This is my list of games, any I'm missing that are must haves or obscure gems?
>>3234618
get the 2 Fire Emblem games
also Final Fantasy 1 ,2 and 3
Whoops, my awful cropping skills left a few out! New version attached
Jesus, you expect someone to read all that shit. If you haven't beaten every game, play them all before getting any more.
WHy are there no Famicom/NES emulators that have over clocking?
>>3234501
Because the NES doesn't have a clock.

>WHy are there no Famicom/NES emulators that have over clocking?
What games that have slowdown make you ask this question?
>>3234517
Not op but I'm pretty sure op posted a good example.
Anyone know if the Super Famicom Fire Emblem Games are software region locked or if i can just play them on my snes using a converter
I'd love to import them
>>3234261
If it's a NTSC SNES it'll play absolutely fine. The only thing is the carts are different shapes so you have to physically remove the tabs from the SNES so it'll fit.
If it's a PAL SNES there is a lockout chip on the cart will prevent the game from running unless you have some workaround for that. Console mod is the best way to go, with SuperCIC being god-tier which also fixes the frame rate mismatch.
>>3234292
Its a PAL snes but i have a converter to play NTSC games on the thing
One like pic related
Would that do the trick?
>>3234292
> with SuperCIC being god-tier which also fixes the frame rate mismatch.
How does it fix that exactly? Does it make a NTSC game run on 50 frames per second on a PAL SNES?
Not a /vr/ regular so forgive me if the thread doesn't belong here or if some sort of general for this type of stuff exists (though I checked the catalog and didn't find anything).
I'm looking for a retro game that I used to play in my childhood.
It was on Windows in the 98 era (I think).
the game was settled around some sort of Battle League in which different teams (some of them would use Dragons, other zeppelins etc.) would fight in air battles in arenas.
I think the name was something along the lines of "Heroes of the sky" - but I could be totally wrong.
I think that's Panzer dragoon.
>>3234057
Thank you for your input but it's sadly not.
The gameplay was basically like an Arena shooter just with added flying.
As I said before there were different groups you could join that would use different flying mounts..
bump for OP and Saddam.
can we agree nostalgia googles besides gaming peaked around PS1 era consoles and that it's been downhill since then?
Hell, It's a shame games from the SNES and PSX era still blows away in terms of GAMEPLAY modern games.
We're talking about gameplay, not story, nor graphics, nor anything else.
>>3233537
Is this in part not because we simply had tried everything even remotely obvious and established norms like what made an "action RPG" an action RPG and what made a "metroidvania" a metroidvania, etc?
>>3233537
Nope.
There is no "peak" It's not like you have to play the shit when it comes out then in a month it fades to obscurity.
The good games are still good, the bad games are still bad. Theres been an influx of cinematic experiences and pandering to the really casual crowd and less emphasis on really core mechanics but there have been games that do try and go back and give a more robust gameplay experience, and prove there is still a market for it. The success of Dark Souls series pretty much proves that people are ok with a non-handholdy, kind of bullshitty game because it's fun and different.
>>3233550
>games today don't suck
>proceed to give an example of a modern game that tries to be a NES dungeon crawler with modern graphics
>still accept there's a less enfasis on core gameplay and more on muh story BS
Anyone buying one of these? I'm old and I think this is pretty cool, but I also wonder if I could just build this myself? Is this think any good from a technical perspective?
>>3232884

What's the most fun NES game?
this bad boy right here
For me, Kirby's Adventure. I always have a grin while playing that game.
skate or die
Let's talk about AG racers like Wipeout and F-Zero!
To anyone interested, some dev is making a free open-source clone of the PSX Wipeout games called BallisticNG. It's pretty fun and is making fast progress, got Greenlight too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAKXgpGXgq8
>>3232491
>BallisticNG
Does it have analog controls? Does it support DS3 or DS4? Usually free world suck when it's about controller support.
>>3234064
Works fine for me. You already use MotionInJoy or SCPToolkit to use your PS controller with other games, right?
Works just fine with that.
