Easy NES games? I'm tired of feeling like a girl because I can't beat any
Mario 1 isn't too bad. Zelda isn't either. I even beat both of those games today just because I came home and had the chance to play some NES.
I think Metroid has a good balance of difficulty.
I'm working on Ghosts n Goblins right now. It's not really that hard, but people say it is.
Dragon Warrior, from my memory isn't too bad.
>>3128145
I might also say contra with the Konami code isn't all that hard.
Kirby's Adventure
Chip & Dale Rescue Ranger
Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu
Willow
Puss n' Boots
Tiny Toon Adventures (up to a point)
Mega Man 3 with the "hold down in controller 2" cheat.
Let's have a comfy thread about Nintendo 64 emulation and why it is so shit.
Which emulators you using?you wouldn't use ProjectMalware, would you?
What ROMS you playing?
Tell us about what problems you're encountering and help each others.
Pic related trying to make Paper Mario works, but regardless of what I do I still encounter the flickering problem in the menu. 1964 won't start at all for unknown reasons so can't use that one.
Has anyone found how to "perfect" emulate it yet? Really wanna replay that gem but these flickerings are a pain.
>>3142415
Doesn't it run well if you emulate it through Dolphin via VC?
Emulator using: Project64 2.2 (I call bullshit on malware)
ROMS playing: Jet Force Gemini (framerate issues), Rush 2 (graphical issues), Wipeout 64 (way too fast).
Solution: Use different plugins or previous emulators, fuck round with the settings, etc.
>>3142415
>let's have a n64 emulation thread
>n64 emulation thread
>emulation
Into the garbage with this thread. Just talk about games and consoles, emulation is illegal for one, and a tool of the poor for another.
how the fuck do i beat star fox 64? i'm pretty new to videogames and i've never beaten one, and i want to beat this game but it's so hard once i get to the train stage.
Do a barrel roll
SHOOT AT EVERYTHING.
Sometimes when they shoot at you, do barrel rolls.
Apart from that, shoot at everything. Never not shoot.
Also, I was just thinking of making a Star Fox 64 thread, because yesterday I played it for the first time in 15 years.
I even got a new highscore. 1075. It is a lot for me, since the highest I have gotten before that was 862.
Also, I felt stupid when I realized you could get out of Andross' brain tentacles with the turbo. Was near death by then, though and on my next try I beat him with almost no shield lost.
>>3149801
Is this the second
>I never got into N64 until I saw YouTube...
Post?
Are the pc ports superior or inferior to the ps1 version?
I've never played the PC ports. The PSone version is superior.
>>3147764
After you mod it, yes.
they have their pros and their cons, their biggest pro i think are the quicker loading times. every black transition screen is like 90% faster, this includes doors and random encounters and shit. makes the game feel a lot faster than the ps1 version.
the biggest con imo is how shitty the low res pre-rendered backgrounds look on high res monitors, but i can look past that.
Unpopular Opinions Thread
Get it off your chest. Share your most unpopular of retro gaming opinions.
>>3139534
Atari 2600 was good
I enjoy 99% of games I play on some level and think all the "this game sucks" "no this game sucks more" conversations are repetitive and boring. I wish people could just enjoy games for their good parts rather than get so stuck on the bad ones.
Only retards call the first PlayStation of 'PSX'
what's the best game of all time?
Spacewar or Pong. Without those who knows what video gaming would look like today.
Mole Mania
prove me wrong
> - Added support to overclock the PSX CPU. You can select x1, x1.5, x2.0, x3.0 and x4.0. Be careful it could break compatibility.

>>3143439
>Added support to overclock the PSX CPU
Why would you do that?
>>3143482
Faster frame rate, and no frame rate dropping.
>>3143495
I thought ePSXe already automatically forced no frame drops where frame drops would actually be accurate to the console. Someone was going on about how PCSX-R simulated framedrops accurately while ePSXe just made everything run well.
Do you consider the Nintendo 64 more like the Super Nintendo, or more like the GameCube?
It's not like either?
Just like NES and SNES aren't like each other. Both look drastically different and have drastically different capabilities.
>>3143001
I think it's pretty clearly a weaker GameCube.
It's nothing like the SNES. The SNES had good games.
Hell, even the GC had more good games than the fucking N64.
When did you stop caring about Pokemon?
When I was asked to choose from the three starting pokemon and I didn't want any of them.
So probably gen 3.
I still play, I'm waiting on Sun and Moon news revealed today.
Black and White is still the best games in the series to me. Very similar to Red and Blue. Forcing you to use new Pokemon.
Right around OR/AS. I have AS, but I just couldn't bring myself to play it. I will at some poibt, but I just really find 3D Pokemon to look unappealing.
When I first heard about Pokemon as a kid I wasn't too interested, but as the launch of Red/Blue approached I got pretty hyped. I even wound up getting a JP copy of Gold before it was released in the US and have played at least one main series game per generation ever since.

How's Console Doom compared to the levels in the Doom PSX TC? Better or worse?
What a friggin' mess.
Me and my friends called it a "super Nintendo".
http://strawpoll.me/7390573
super nain tend dos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIOhqL-9e48
>>3144603
Super Nintendo when it came out, S-N-E-S later. I called the NIntendo the Nintendo for years until I started calling it the N-E-S
>>3144617
This, except as a kid, I added "original/regular" to "Nintendo" for the NES.
What was that 1 arcade game you ALWAYS had to play whenever you saw it?
Yes, DDR costs.HERE'S ONE FOR J.J
>>3144521
I used to think it said "LETS GO PAYDAY"
>>3144525
I used to think War Machine said "IT'S MY TAHMAYDAY" when he was really saying "Here's my Sunday's best!"
>>3144521
Hey i remember a similar one, but it was an arcade from a BIG SIZED FLAT SCREEN arcade, NO LCD but rear projection.
i am trying to find a pic of a similar cabinet, but the one i am talking about, was on a Giant screen that was flat
this is the closest i found on the internet, but the one i am taking about, had the joysticks cabinet similar to the one on >>3144521
but the screen from the pic i uploaded, but bigger.
So, for anyone familiar with the old Final Fantasy 4 multiplayer game called Final Fantasy Remnants will know that it was shutdown sometime last year sadly after an argument between admin and one of the coders.
Well I'm glad to say that a new Final Fantasy 4 multiplayer has reared its head in the form of Final Fantasy Rebirth. As always it is on the Byond client so you'll need that and an account.
https://secure.byond.com/download/
Once that is downloaded and installed just paste
byond://ffivproject.redirectme.net:8445
into your browser to start the game and soon you'll be relieving the good old days back when Final Fantasy was good and not a movie trying to be a game.
This thread deserves to be bumped.
>>3133581
Oh yeah, totally. Its essentially FF4 but with a slightly gutted story for multiplayer. great fun to team up and challenge Zeromus or Gogo.
Last night we had a party fighting gogo, it was a great fight up until he copied someone's Libra spell and locked the fight up >_>
>>3136348
additionally the dev is adding new content fairly regularly and does take player feedback into consideration.
Such as last night he added a Chemist class and Gunner class.
There is a bonus dungeon called the Shrine which houses several bosses which are insanely challenging and are not for the faint of heart.
Previous Thread - >>3116850
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

Anon with the hot BVM here
i rigged something up
heh.
Okay, so since N64 apparently counts as "retro" and /v/ is a shit place where good thread just go down the shitter immediately, I thought we could have a nice, cozy Star Wars Racer thread around here.
What is your favourite track?
Your favourite pod?
Junkyard or shop?
Do you prefer emulation or the real thing?
Have you already voted for it on GOG?
-Mine is probably the second Aquilaris one. I would love the Gauntlet, but the antigrav tube rocks are the shittiest thing ever.
-My favourite pod is Bullseye Navior on N64 because with the swampy controls and low framerate he had perfect handling. Using Project64 I actually prefer Mars Guo because the smaller pods get too twitchy.
-Junkyard is the way to go, if you ever buy something in the shop you are SHIT! SHIT!
-I actually prefer emulation because I only have a N64 and I can't stand the low framerate.
-Yes, and you should too.
>>3129845
I swore by Gasgano for a long time before I finally had enough to get Sebulba.
Anakin was shit. I think I initially started with Bors Rool or whatever his name was.
I also remember getting the strategy guide and some pages were fucked up because it didnt print properly
>>3129858
>strategy guide
Like this?
>>3129891
No, like one page was printed where the top half was from the previous page and bottom half was from the current page. It was a page that had a level map on it. Idk it if was all copies or just mine, but it annoyed the shit out of me
