LCD Thread
We get a lot of love for CRT's here. But we never discuss these wonderful, versatile, Zero-lag, RGB-capable LCD's.
I can't be the only one, who else among us uses clip-on LCD's?
>>3075841
actually most people use lcds to play retro games.
but you it's like with a certain minority in america...
the minorities are always the first to shout angrily. so w/e just do your thing
>>3075850
Like Trump supporters, we get it.
This thread has literally nothing to do with video games.
Same with CRT threads.
ITT: We discuss neat tricks on old hardware.

Can you elaborate further?

What are some good wild west retro games that involve cowboys/shootouts/saloons etc.
Also...What was the '80s arcade game where you play as a cowboy on a horse with an octagonal dial gun control, and you have to ride along the side of a train and shoot bad guys? Holy shit that was a fun game.
ITT some cowboy shit! Hee-Haw!
OP here...can't say I did not contribute.
How about some atari 2600 Outlaw?

Man this is one of the few "rare" SNES games i would love to own.
Check it out. I made some cases for my old Game Boy games using Nintendo DS cases.
Don't they look great? It does take a bit of time and money but I find them much better to look at than loose carts.
I can tell you guys how to do it too if you want. Anyone else make cases for their old games?
This is what the inside looks like.
You have to store the game upside down so that it fits.
Pretty snazzy. Though I imagine it would be a pain if you had a lot of Gameboy games. Tho honestly having a lot of the original boxes is quite impractical just because of how fragile they are. DS cases are made of quite sturdy stuff I must say. Even sturdier then 3DS cases

I'm sorry you wasted your time and destroyed a DS case, but here you go.

usable for GB, GBC, and GBA.
Do some research next time.
Sup /vr/, by some stroke of mad luck I have come into possession of these beauties. I've never had a Saturn growing up but always wanted one. I have a bunch of questions that I hope you guys don't mind answering. I've done a some research but I'm still a little lost.
So, first thing's first: I have one US Saturn and one JPN Saturn. They came with one controller and one a/v cable total. I used an apple tv power cord to test them. I'm not sure of the voltage but will it be okay to use long term?
Do I need the 3D controller or arcade stick or is the default controller enough?
What's the deal with the internal memory? I know there's a watch battery in the back, but how can I tell if it needs to be changed?
Action Replay. Do I need one? It also has the ram expansion and the memory. Will this allow me to play backups as well? Do I even need both Saturns if I have an AR?
What are some good starter games that kinda showcase what the Saturn is about? (cheap stuff like the equivalent of Sonic 2 or the 6-Pak on the Genesis maybe) There's a new sealed combo of Virtua Cop/VF 2/Daytona USA for $20.

>Do I need the 3D controller or arcade stick or is the default controller enough?
If you play some 3D games, it'll be tough without them.
> I know there's a watch battery in the back, but how can I tell if it needs to be changed?
Boot it. If it asks you to set the clock, it's probably dead.
>Action Replay. Do I need one? It also has the ram expansion and the memory. Will this allow me to play backups as well? Do I even need both Saturns if I have an AR?
You don't need one, but from what I know chipping is tough these days. I believe flashing the AR will make it lose its save functions, so make sure you have a power memory if you do so.
>What are some good starter games that kinda showcase what the Saturn is about?
If you wanna buy, Panzer Dragoon JP is cheap, Daytona, Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter. Getting anime games is going deeper into some of the obscure gems, but they get more expensive.
>>3072546
>Do I need the 3D controller or arcade stick or is the default controller enough?
No. Games play fine with the dpad. 3d stick is just better for the games desined with it in mind.
>What's the deal with the internal memory? I know there's a watch battery in the back, but how can I tell if it needs to be changed?
Just buy a new one.
>Action Replay. Do I need one? It also has the ram expansion and the memory. Will this allow me to play backups as well? Do I even need both Saturns if I have an AR?
I don't mess with AR.
>What are some good starter games that kinda showcase what the Saturn is about? (cheap stuff like the equivalent of Sonic 2 or the 6-Pak on the Genesis maybe) There's a new sealed combo of Virtua Cop/VF 2/Daytona USA for $20.
Not much sub $100. Virtua Fighter, Daytona, and Sega Rally can be found cheap though.
Was the Neo Geo more powerful than the Saturn at 2D, or were developers just more experienced with the architecture due to how long it lasted?
Why did the PS1 menu have all fucked up, distorted looking colors? For years, I thought there was a problem with my console. I mean, does this look nice to anyone?
It looks like the early 90s
Yeah it was kind of not too slick-looking.
The Saturn's bios/CD player was much superior.
hijacking a little bit.
Once when I was a kid I was playing PS1 but didn't put the disc onto the spindle all the way or something. I got a completely solid blue screen with "MEMORY CAR" written on it in big letters, like the font that your TV has. Took the disc out and put it back in and it was gone. Anyone see this screen before?
What's the correct way to pronounce SEGA?

>>3071950
Sorry for not being a native japanese speaker or a native spanish speaker.
"Sega" is actually a difficult word to pronounce for me, I don't know if it should be Say-Ga, See-Ga or Sea-Ga
>Batman
Slow and clunky controls. Any platformer that has delay frames when you jump is automatically garbage.
>Duck Tales
The pogo stick is inconsistent and buggy at times. Platformers are all about tight and responsive controls. Also, instant enemy respawn is dumb game design in a game like this.
>Ninja Gaiden
Mediocre gameplay that is embellished with style and good music.
>Mario 2
Decent. But oh so boring.
>Kirby
Slowdown ridden mediocrity that is slow and too easy.
>Shatterhand
More style than substance.
>Chip 'n Dale
Absolutely nothing special. Plain as can be.
>Little Nemo
Atrocious hit detection.
>Vice: Project Doom
Too much health = dumb game design.
>Little Samson
Just plain boring.
>Adventure Island
Play the original arcade version.
>Bugs Bunny games
Slow and atrocious.
>Darkwing Duck
Clunky.
>Mr. Gimmick
This one is good actually.
>Mega Man
Most overrated series in the history of video games. The definition and epitome of mediocrity.
Okay.
>>3071830
Kirby Superstar and Dreamland 3 are the only good ones on SNES
entire console library is mostly platformers.
Post bad games

Let's have a thread about PSX, Saturn and N64 2D games, hand drawn preferrable.
What are your favorites?
>>3069625
>posts a picture of a 4th gen game
top kek
>>3069625
Most beautiful game ever made.
Another of the most beautiful games ever made. Too bad it's boring as all fuck.
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are the worst retro Sonic
We all agree right?
>>3068724
I mean, Sonic Labyrinth is way worse, Sonic R and 3d blast are also considerably worse.
>>3068724
Keep trying buddy.
CANT HOOOOOLD OOONNN MUCH LONGER~
Is this the best retro JRPG?
>>3068676
No, I think Pokemon is. Pokemon is such a great JRPG that people don't even realize it's part of the genre, pokemon is the most played JRPG ever made and the most loved.
Panzer Dragoon in general is great though, I was playing Zwei last night and the game is amazing.
That would be LoZ:ALttP
Best RPG period.
No shitposting edition.
Nobody cares about what ones you consider the best and which ones you didn't like.
Post your favorite Castlevania tracks from each game though

Dose this game have any issues when sped up on a PS2? The PS1 load times are horrendous.
