When will this be more widely available? I would sell my soul to have this installed tomorrow.
I heard that badassconsoles is like the only approved professional installer, is that true? I don't mind the cost but they never fucking have it in stock
>>2927127
Wow really? I can send my console off to have some creeps mod it with their dirty dick beaters and all so I can play games on a a different kind of tv? You know what pass, I paid 15$ for a 32" crt with s-video and rgb.
>>2927190
What kind of 32" CRT has RGB in? A Mitsubishi?
>>2927203
Or anything with SCART, obviously?
Post songs that almost anyone can enjoy, please refrain yourself from posting 5+ songs from a single game just because you want a game to get more attention. Try to make sure that the song fits into "amazing tier" instead of just "good tier".

You guys play Popolocrois? I'm having problems finding a rpg(s) that's touched me the way this did.
Returning to thesecret roomat the end and remembering all that you've seen and done really did it for me.
Never actually heard of it before. Was it a PS1 game? Looks cute.
>>2925001
2 Ps1 games that were released as one PSP game in NA.
>>2924883
There's a sequel coming out on 3DS, right?
The art style looks cozy as hell. Is there anything else unique about the series?
We post games rarely talked about that deserve more love.
I'll start:
Bonanza Bros.
never heard of that, care to describe?
Adventure Island series
>>2923213
Sure! 1-2 players go thru different buildings(banks, factories, etc) stealing treasures while trying to avoid security guards, dogs, and rakes! Collect all treasures and reach the roof within the time limit to win the stage.
Adeleine vs. Relm. Who is the cutest retro loli painter?
>>2921920
Relm. I don't even know who the other one is.
>>2921924
He was in Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64 as a boss/friend.
>>2921942
>he
Adeleine/Ado's a girl
Are youtubers bad or good for retro vidya?
>>2921454
Who cares.
Stop flooding /vr/ with off-topic threads.
Post comments about actual retro games.
>>2921457
Well, in one hand they can give games more exposition. On the other hand, some of their opinions get treated as gospel, making a whole audience to not bother to try a game.
>>2921454
Good for reseller jews
Bad for collectorfags
are there fundamentals to shmups like there are fundamentals to fighting games ?
or does it just come down to memory
i suck at shmups and i want to get better, still enjoying them though.
some of the basics are discussed here
http://www.sega-16.com/2005/04/unofficial-shmups-glossary/
honestly though this genre is completely devoid of skill
its pretty simple man
just go where the bullets aren't
Despite what anyone else may tell you, it's largely rote memorization. Not all shoot-'em-ups have the same design principles, though. Some series have more realistic difficulty curves than others, but series like Gradius? Entirely rote memorization. Konami series in general are notorious for that.
As someone who doesn't know a lot about fighting games, what is the difference between mainline Street Fighter and the Alpha series? Ostensibly they look pretty much the same to me. What makes it so different to warrant being an entire spin-off series? It just seems so weird to me that a company would release a spin-off game that plays pretty much the same as its main titles.
>>2919925
Basically, every Street Fighter is it's own series. That's why there's like 8 versions of SF2, 3- of SF3 and what now? 4-5 of SF4? SFA was originally "Street Fighter Zero" in Japan, and took place in between FS and SF2 (if I'm not mistaken), bridged the gap between the two plot wise, and became it's own series. And, much like every other SF game, each new entry effectively replaces the former versions.
Granted, SFA is a little different, because it uses a numbering standard, rather than "Super", "Hyper", "tournament edition" and etc. And SFA3 is seen as a totally separate set of events from SFA and SFA2 (which are not). But it generally follows all of the standards of the entire SF series. It was born as one game, and became a series unto itself.
I could never get into SF2 even though I started gaming on the SNES, bu somehow Alpha 2 with the anime style really got me.
When games got the anime bug all throughout the 90's, it was glorious.

What's the most graphically impressive Genesis game?
...and how does it compare to the best looking SNES game?
Everything looks better on the Genesis, thanks to it's infamous blast processing.
Virtua Racing.
The cart had a built-in Blast Processor though. You could play it on a SNES and it would still be fast.
> I don't emulate, I use ORIGINAL hardware
> I can tell the difference!!!
>>2914947
>what in input lag
>what is sound slow down / issues
>can it run crysis
Who fucking cares. I like Bimini Run.
>>2914982
You do realize that the vast differences in speed between that hardware and modern hardware renders such input lag virtually non-existent on modern computers while emulating?
Like, there's LESS input lag and modern emulators like Higan add input lag to more accurately emulate the weaknesses of the machines the games were made for.
>TL;DR you're wrong and listen to me-me's created by people who think they understand emulation.
>>2914947
I can pick out PS2 emulators, but that's about it. And obviously if they're not configured for accuracy, I'll notice. N64 doesn't have Anti-Aliasing.
Super Mario Bros. 3 is a seemingly innocuous platformer game. In reality, it's a biting allegory of Man's relationship with God.
World 1 is Grass Land. It's an idyllic, easygoing place in an obvious reference to the biblical Paradise.
World 2 is Desert Land. It represents the original sin and exile from paradise, and the hardships endured by man.
World 3 is Water Land, an obvious allegory to the great biblical flood that purged the wicked but allowed the faithful to survive.
World 4 is Giant Land. Mario must face and defeat his giant adversaries, in a vein similar to story of David and Goliath.
World 5 is Sky Land. The first half is actually on earth, and after climbing a tower, Mario finds himself on the cloud tops, where he must make his way to the castle and the King of the heavens (God?). There is debate as to what this world is exactly representing. The duality of heaven and earth might represent how the spiritual awakening of man allows him to live together with God in daily life, as the connecting tower can be climbed up or down at any time. The earthen half could also be a mirrored Israel, and the tower Jerusalem, or the Tower of Babel.
World 6 is Ice Land. It is the site of Ragnarök, or Götterdämmerung; the Twilight of the Gods. It represents the "death" of God as Nietzche put it: man has grew proud and become "enlightened", and no longer bases his morality on the divine, whether for ill or good.
World 7 is Pipe Land, and it represents our world. It consists of six main landmasses, and a large, uninhabited "continent" at the bottom. This land is fragmented, but interconnected, as you can get everywhere with the various bridges and pipes. It represents the first stage of Man separated from God, the building of his empire.
World 8 is Dark Land. It's a gloomy, hellish realm of dark skies and filthy waters. Tanks roll over the ruined countryside and nuclear ash blots out the sun. It represents the downfall of Man separated from God.

that filter gives me a headache
>>2928085
Somewhere out there someone likes the way that looks. My brain is imploding.
>>2928064
My theory about Bowser being gay and desperately seeking attention from Mario is better.
Hey /vr/ I just got a Model 1 Megadrive today and could use some help.. So I plug everything in where it should be and scan channels. It finds 36 but when I go to play a game all I get is a black screen with a Sega Enterprises message on it and then just a black screen, The quality of the writing that comes on screen doesn't look to sharp either.. Can someone isolate the problem? So far I think it could be the RV cable but I cant be too sure since I haven't had one of these in over a decade..
Using Sharp HDTV and console is plugged into Ariel socket
IIRC the "Licensed by Sega" thing only comes up if the system detects a cartridge in the slot. If no image or sound comes up afterward it's probably either a bad connection between the cartridge and the slot or the cartridge itself is borked.
>>2927997
>scan channels
>HDTV
>Ariel socket
Stop.
>>2928025
Many thanks, I have ordered an AV cable to get around the problem, hope this works!

What are your favourite soundtracks, /vr/? Most emotional, most atmospheric, most badass, you name it.
For me my favourite ost of all time has to be pic related on the Saturn, not the genesis. Mediocre gameplay, but the soundtrack makes the game completely worth playing, in my opinion.
>>2925301
Genesis version has better OST imo.
Favorite OSTs: Outrun 2 coast 2 coast (I know it's not retro, but kinda related), Deus Ex, Sega Rally, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Snatcher
>>2925304
Is this a NiGHTS ripoff?
I haven't done a playthrough as Brujah or Gangrel yet. Is it worth it?
sure frend
>>2924253
Oh, the other Vampire game. That exists.
>>2924253
Just go max humanity for sappy ending, anon. And remember the enemy resurrection grind technique.
WHERE IS ANEZKA!?
