Hey, I was always curious why the Super Nintendo never got a second Zelda despite being a successful and long lived console. It turns out that the BS Zeldas (the Zelda 1 remake and Ancient Stone Tablets) are a bit of lost Zelda titles.
Anyway, I am more curious about the Zelda 1 remake of the BS titles. How does it stack up compared to the original Zelda? Does it improve on it a lot, and is it even worth to play?
As far as I know it's the exact same thing with better graphics but you play as a stupid kid with a baseball cap instead of Link. Your pic is from a romhack that replaces him with Link.

It's bullshit.
I'm stuck with gf's macbook for a while and I'm wondering what the best emulators for SNES and Genesis are on it. Can anybody help me out? Also how can I use my PS4 controller with it? Is it even possible? Thanks.
>>3121468
emuparadise should have whatever you need for emulaters
google the ps4 controller stuff
BSNES (performance) is good. as for genesis its been a while and ive reinstalled my macbook since, but Genesis Plus is what you want to use i think. as for PS4 controllers theyre basically plug and play, assuming theyre the same as PS3 controllers. plug it in via usb cable and press the PS button, then start your emulator and simply bind all the keys to it.

This guy knows what's up. BSNES (performance) is pretty much all you need as far as SNES goes.
Going back in time as early your favorite console was out, what genres would you immediately get to work on if you were a developer or producer? Feel free to take modern ideas with you.

Came to post something else, but this is a much better idea.
my favorite console was the dreamcast
too much pressure desu
What's your favorite quake mission, anon?
What are your favorite packs?
>>3121145
At the moment it's up between Horde of Zendar and Red Hatred.
>>3121145
The zombie chapter was awesome. They caught me off guard the first few times because I did not gib them.
>>3121145
The hipnotic mission pack is glorious. Hipdm1 is a hell of a map in single player or DM.
3 games from your collection pic thread? Match one to the previous poster.
>>3121040
Kay
OK everybody lets post our copies of Battletoads until somebody with 3 relatively obscure games kills the thread
Matching to system would make it far easier to take part in this thread, especially in the case where the games become much less common.
I'm also not sure I want to see Battletoads in every image.
Back to lurking with the rest of potential posters I go.

Don't waste your time with shit games.
Battle Garrega was and still is better than Batrider. I'll just leave this up here...
How so? Soundtrack, artstyle, gameplay?
For one thing, the colorful graphics for Batrider obscured a lot of the bullets. Not to mention BG's OST was a LOT better, especially in the stage where you take down all the cargo planes one after the other. The art style for BR was nice, I admit. Garrega felt a lot more satisfying to play through.
>>3120629
Battle Garegga had amazing music, the Mahou Daisakusen cast (Gains or Miyamoto are amazing on C mode), and the rank is way too smart, and the game was overall a major hype fest. I never played Batrider but i'd like too in the near future. But BG>DDP and Ikaruga

Is the New 3DS on its way to becoming the best way to emulate retro games?
>240p screen
>RetroArch is making tremendous progress; expect full speed PS1 emulation in a matter of months
Fuck Chink shit. The N3DS is where it's at.
So far it's proven to be quite shitty for the job, actually. The PSP remains the best handheld for that particular purpose.

>So far it's proven to be quite shitty for the job, actually
Why?
Also, OP, what is the state of (New) 3DS flash cards? Not having them was my reason for holding off buying one.
Also also, why the fuck did they call it "New 3DS"? Are they trying to be confusing? It's a different system, right?
They're 400x240p stretched to fit the screen.
Nowhere near 4:3 aspect ratio.
Who /retropie/ here?
I would, but my bluetooth controller has terrible latency with my raspberry pi 2 and it tends to "stack" commands for seconds at a time and then release them all at once. For the record the controller is a steelseries free which had latency issues with my laptop too. Does anyone know of bluetooth controllers that work with no latency on a raspberry pi?
Nice console setup btw OP, it looks very polished, kickstarter when?
>>3120146
oh wow, that sucks. I use pic related for my controller, it's just a keyboard made for the Pi. It works fine with most games, can be godawful for some PlayStation games and other ones with complicated control schemes though
As for my setup I plan on mass producing and selling them for 100 bucks a popstill better than the ouya
>>3120160
wtf what buttons do you use?
So uh....what is the purpose of coins in Mario games? In Sonic rings prevent you from dying, what the hell do coins do?
when you get 100 you get an extra life.
Have you even played games?
They only serve a purpose in the NES versions of SMB1 and SMB2J since extra lives are hard to come by. They do the same thing in every game after it but they throw lives at you constantly so you never run out.
What purpose does collecting rings serve in Sonic? You're just as safe with 1 ring as you are with 50.
So I just finished this game after years of wanting to play it, and it was pretty... meh. Started out great and the whole idea of first person point-n-click adventure is pretty awesome, but it feels like the game was rushed and sometimes felt kinda empty. I also never got to use most of my inventory items. I heard that there's multiple solutions for the puzzles and I hope that's true, because otherwise this game is full of that infamous red herring.
Some of the motion captured 3D cutscenes looked unintentionally hilarious because the character models are blobby...

>tfw you owned a Sega CD growing up
>tfw apparently not a lot of people owned one
So /vr/ how many of you owned a Sega-CD?
I couldn't afford one even though I desperately wanted one and then seeing it sort of fizzle with minimal releases gave me a weird feeling of being kind of glad I "missed out" then seeing 32x, CDi, 3DO and Jaguar after it was the closest I ever came to thinking I had just outgrown video games.
Then Playstation made me believe again.
>>3119471
Yeah it didnt have that many games but there were some good ones. And besides back then CD Players were expensive as fuck so I used my Sega CD as a CD Player.
>>3119462
I got a paper rout just so I could buy a Sega CD. No regrets at all.
Who prefers RF to composite here?
blind people
>>3119334
Does the lack of colour with composite make it more comfortable for them or something?
>>3119336
If anything composite gives out more colors because it can tap from all the YUV color space.
By the way, I like RF for its simplicity and the fact that I can plug multiple consoles on the same set with minimal hassle (SNES doesn't really look all that bad).
The only thing to look out for is the optimal cable placement (I'm not entirely sure what causes the fuzz).
hello guys, I just bought a nes, the one in the picture
everything seems to be in working order and in very good condition, but the controller port doesn't seem to work
whenever I plug in one of the two controllers, I get some kind of input. for example, in world champion, the little arrow in the main menù goes down once everytime I plug in and out. then nothing more. it does the same thing with both the controllers.
I had a nes when I was very young, but I never had this kind of problem. any of you had this kind of problem? is my new nes screwed and...

i left my mega drive at my parents house. it sat in the garage for 10 years. both controllers were fucked when I got it back. every button would pause it. disassembled the controllers, cleaned all the contacts and the pcb with 99% iso alcahol and bobs your uncle, working controllers.
>>3119331
but since the two controllers seem to be having the same exact behaviour, wouldn't it be fair to assume that it's the console's fault? tried to open the thing and it's all super clean on the inside, probably been cleaned not long ago. the seller says that it was working just fine, just a couple days ago, and he's got the best possible feedback. really don't know what to think about it.

reading isn't your strong suit eh anon?
