Just finished this, and it was beatiful.
/vr/ endings thread.
Reminder it's not over until you beat it in one credit. Just kidding.
The ending to this is absolutely astounding.
This game. Specifically the hard route's.
sonic looks nothing like this thing... what did they have in minds? similar retro fails like this?
Originally he was "Mr. Needlemouse"
>>3365785
Blue Coca-Cola Mickeymouse.
Honestly he looks as much like a hedgehog ad Mickey Mouse looks like a mouse, and in japan all rodents = mouse
Pikachu looks more like a rabbit than a mouse, and it was apparently based on this thing which looks more like a hamster than a mouse, but to Japan this = mouse
How do upgrades work and which one should I choose?

>playing the shitty casual imbalanced version with shops
Just get the superior Bangai-O on Dreamcast, holy shit.

I can't emulate the DC properly so, no.
I'm trying to buy a gameboy advance, but they are all heavily modified on Ebay now, with new cases/buttons and shit that isn't OEM.
I also see a few Gameboy Advance SPs with the good backlit screen for sale, but I can't really tell which ones are totally unmodified and not refurbished anymore.
Barring the inability to play GB games (which you might as well just get a $15 GBC for anyway), what does the GBASP offer over a DS? Genuine question, I never had an SP.

>what does the GBASP offer over a DS
Proprietary audio output (no 3.5 jack)
Inability to play in the headphones and charge

Still have my SP and love it but has since been retired when I found a miiiiiiinty fresh GB Micro in box for a great price.
Could also try Etsy and see what you can find. A lot of sellers are willing to send extra pictures and such when asked.
>snes and mega drive versions are good
>playstation and saturn versions come out
>game has to load the fuck out all the time
>even mid-game when shang Tsung morphs
>there's even an option to turn off shang Tsung being able to morph to anyone other than the player he is versing
You actually can't make this shit up.
>>3365579
>rushed games to cash in on new technology turn out to be shit
What a shock.
>>3365579
This is like one of the only few games on ps1 that has bad loading times
Congratulations, you discovered one of the differences between solid state cartridges and optical media.
Well, the decades long mystery is finally settled.
It's not Cody. It's not Joe. It's Scott. Plain old Scott.

And the other guy is Max, not Mike or Balrog.

How does this make you feel to finally know the truth?
That's really cool.
Yes how could I have not seen it.. its so obviously the same guy!

so who's the nigger, then?
I know /vr/ is a place where clever anons exist, so I'd like to ask a question.
I'd want to make an SNES Mode 7 demo where you could raise/lower the horizon, turn around and change the scale. But I have no clue how to program in assembler.
What do?
>>3365283
>/vr/
>clever
well first you obviously learn assembly, retard
>>3365283
Well you should start by looking up this
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Super_NES_Programming
But if you don't even know the basics of assembly you won't get far. Good news is that the 65816 a well documented microprocessor with many tutorials same with general SNES programing.

So I'm looking at installing a mod chip for my PS1. It's an SCPH-9001 (top model). I took a look around and found a MultiModel3 modchip on eurasia for 4 dollars. I have some wire lying around and have moderate soldering experience but this will be my first hard mod. What else do I need to know and is this a decent mod chip for my console?
You probably should have asked this in the Repair/Mod general we have.
That being said, yes the MM3 is the modchip you want for PS1's. Just follow the diagram they will give you with the chip, and you should be fine. Of course, you may want to look inside of your PS1 so you can get an idea of how small the connections will be, and how small of a tip you will want to use.
It's decent and the soldering isn't hard. Maybe consider a PSIO once they start selling again..essentially a ps1 flashcart
sup /vr/ just got pic related what do ya'll think of it? Despite having an n64 in the 90's I never played a Zelda game, think that might be the first thing I play. I plan on downloading everything for it.
Any of you bro's have this? What games do you like playing on it?
>>3364917
also got pic related because I don't want to have to pretend like I enjoy the n64 controller.
>>3364919
how much did it cost you?
Can someone explain to me the MASSIVE drop in quality of the X series? X is really good. X2-X3 are a real drop in quality. X4 onwards is just terrible. X4-6 are also kinda ugly, with washed out colors.
MM1-6 were all at least good. All use the same engine. Even the weakest ones are alright.
Because you're a nostalgic piece of shit. The only drop in quality is X6, but of course you will never admit that.
Keep playing the same 8-bit over and over
First time I've ever heard anyone say what OP just said. Ever. I've had many MM fans tell me that X was one of the weaker ones just because it was too easy, not the best in the series. And I've heard pretty much universal praise for X2 and X3.
Is this some kinda bait thread or something?
>>3364914
I personally feel x4 and X5 were very good and fun at the time. But going into ps2 they wanted to make it 3d and it went to shit. Probably a combination of less funds and laziness recycling the same assets and also staff working on MML1&2. I fucking loved X2 & X3 though. I really like the designs in X3 and it had mother fucking Vile Bobafett
Which other NES/SNES games have that amazing sound quality difference between the japanese and international versions?
Kirby's Adventure
It's not exactly what you described but there's musical differences in the US and EU versions of Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday. EU version is said to have come out later.

>>3364923
What are the differences? I've only played the American version.
sure sounds better than the GBA, tell you that much
When will these be considered "retro", /vr/?
Hopefully never.
Those consoles had shitty games, especially the PS2. Can you imagine coming onto /vr/ and seeing a bunch of talk on PS2 games? No fuckin' Zelda, no fuckin' Mario, just a bunch of topics on shitty PS2 games?
Man, that would officially be the death of this place lol.
Never ever. Stop asking.
>le me me post xD
new to the board, I work at a library and someone just dumped this off on us. I was looking at the other nintendo power mags they donated, and emuparadise has the others, but not this one. Should I scan it and upload it to you guys? I googled near and far and couldn't find anyone else with a copy, otherwise I won't bother.
also, shouldn't you guys have a repository of scans of these things somewhere? I know the internet and youtube is already does the same job, but, it feels nostalgically wrong to never scan them and put them somewhere.
I don't see why not.
>>3364596
well I'm still looking on the internet first, want to be sure it's nowhere else before I upload it. plus it's over 113 pages so it's going to take some time.
>>3364661
alright I didn't find it, but I will upload them here if you'd like, and also on archive.org.

just got a psone with screen and controller that came with an interact battery pack. I have serious doubts about this thing holding a charge as I left it to charge for 12 hours and it still reports a low battery. Such is old rechargeables.
Is there anything I could do with it now? Maybe open it up and replace the old batteries inside with new ones?
>>3364547
that's a cool find. you should be able to replace the battery if you have access to a soldering iron
Boy I sure love the PS1 Slim
>>3364576
Boy I sure love you
sakura taisen series. where to start? how to play? hit me up my friends
>>3364529
that evokes rurouni kenshin in an uncanny way...
>>3364529
Play the first one.
Either on Saturn or PC port, there's a translation guide floating around somewhere if you can't read moon
If you liked that, then play the 2nd one.
>>3364534
That reminds me, there was a Rurouni Kenshin rpg for the PS1 that never got an english release.
