Hey /vr/ first post here,
A few weeks ago I decided to code a tool to corrupt files on byte level to destroy them irriversibly. I ran it on an image and ended up with weird results. That made me interested in what would happen if I ran it on videos. Same result : The video got screwed and looked hilarious. After trying more images and videos I got a new idea : corrupting old nintendo ROMs. I ran the tool on multiple ROMs and ended up with hilarious results. If you are interested in seeing that you can find a link at the end of the post. Feel free to suggest any games you...

Why not just opening it in a hex editor?
I dont see enough reasons to do it anyway. I'd rather try to glitch the game without altering its rom data.

That picture looks like an extreme HD version of Frogger.

Don't have a hex editor. Also wanted to train my coding skills to include file I/O operations. Sure you can glitch games without altering the rom data but where is the fun in that.

God, I felt so sad in VIII whenthat fucking shadowy-bird guy kills her baby.
Why isNOT RETROthe best game in the series?
Is there a difinitive list of the best SNES games? I'm trying to figure out what are considered the best and most important games on the console to see which direction I need to take my collection. Trying to stick to console exclusives, so no Street Fighter II.
So far on the list, I have:
Super Mario World
Legend of Zelda LttP
Super Metroid
FF2(4) and 3(6)
Kirby Superstar
Super Castlevania IV
Turtles in Time
Starfox
F-Zero
Mario Kart
Earthbound
Super Game Boy
What else?
Chrono Trigger
Donkey Kong Country
I am a fucking idiot.
>>3196919
Kirby's Dream Course
Yoshi's Island
Mega Man X
>>3196951
I thought Dream Course was part of Superstar.
Also
Mario All Stars
Mario Paint.
Anyone ever play Far East of Eden: Manjimaru? I'd like to hear some opinions
It's apparently the best selling turbografx game of all time, and is one of the highest rated 16-bit RPGs. But it's been untranslated for years so few have played it

An anon here did play through most Tengai Makyou games, you might want to check the archives.
I personally played through Zero, a bit of IV and the non retro GBA game, so I can't tell you a lot about it besides what you already know.
A japanese friend told me that it was kinda like the PCE's own FFVII, that's all I can tell you.
I personally didn't like what I played outside of the GBA game which is actually a really solid and interesting game, Zero had great graphics and a...

The eorld is pretty big and expansive, but I wasnt a fan of the encounter rate. Its not Sailor Moon another Story levels of bad, but its up there. I liked Kabuki den a lot more because of the character interaction and it feels like it has the strongest story direction out of the pce games. Namida is also up there in that but its also particularly slow for a ps2 game. Along with Tma4, theyre laughably easy and you can steer through that one on autobattle with all of the special attacks and items turned off.
They...

I'm surprised no one has put out a translation of the game script for this. I've heard hacking a CD game is harder than a cartridge. Just a script dump would be nice.
You have 10 seconds to name your single favourite non-RPG retro game of all time.
M.C. Kids
japan-only FDS adventure game called "The young Mario Brothers". It's a mix of dating sim and detective stuff.
Bomberman.
Who knows some old horror games that are actually scary? In Illbleed you are afraid of the level itself, rather than the enemies in it, and it doesn't forget that horror stops being scary once it's predictable
>>3196221
>underrated
>old
>scary
Hellnight, perhaps?
>>3196225
What kind of horrorgame is it?
>>3196236
a first person, no combat horror game for the psx

Retro "Backlog"
I plan to finish following games:
Terranigma
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Ikaruga
Spiderman 2
Good Idea?
>Terranigma
>Skies of Arcadia Legends
great ones.
I always plan on replaying SoA aswell but never actually do, dunno why.
Ditch the other 2 atleast until you finished those 2 first.
>>3195825
Dreamcast is not retro.
>>3195825
>Spiderman 2
I could never beat shocker, even when i replayed the game recently, i just cant do it
Gotta love retro Sega
>>3194581
Nah, it's cool, like 3D is the future.
What is /vr/´s opinion of this game?
It's bad because there is only one way to play it and that is to go to the last island right away without fighting anything and then grap all the unprotected treasure.
>>3194280
Game is great, just terrible filters.
It can be beaten in under 10 seconds.

Why was the SNES backwards compatible with the NES?
It wasn't. Probably done to keep hardware costs within reason.
>>3194146
Dont you mean why wasnt it?
Because backwards compatibility is for the foolish goyim who doesn't think about making money.
Favorite Flintstones game?
>>3192095
Well not that one geez
>>3192095
None.
>>3192095
racing
What's the verdict on these?
My wife and I love it!
My husband says it's great.
My kids said they would rather have a ps4
I remember sometime ago we had a thread to talk about vr books, guides, art-books, etc.

>Wanna play Final Fantasy, Lufia, The 7th Saga, or Shin Megami Tensei?
>Don't have a SNES?
>Fuck you, you're getting Phantasy Star instead
So did people actually like this series back in the day, or is it just sour grapes due to the fact that the Genesis has no other RPG's?
>>3188867
Look at the date in your picture and then look at the release date for any of those games on the SNES. There's your answer.
Also
>due to the fact that the Genesis has no other RPGs?
Beyond Oasis, Crusader of Centy, Warriors of the Eternal Sun, Arcus Odyssey, Fatal Labyrinth, Landstalker, Light Crusader, Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Shadowrun, Uncharted Waters, Sword of Vermillion, and (arguably) Ys III. It's not even close to the extensive SNES RPG library,...

Phantasy Star IV alone is better than every SNES RPG.
But there's SMT for the Mega CD.
Didn't see one in the catalog
How do I git gud at Rush games? All I can finish is 4th tops.
Lots of quarters and shortcuts.
A shopping mall in my area has a real Sega Rally machine. I've spent the past year or so figuring out its tricks almost every time I visit there. My current best championship time is 3:23:63, done using a manual Celica. Any other Sega Rally drivers here? How do I compare?

You're no Michael Schumacher.
A real cab? Nice, I've only played emulated version.
