Went to my parents house last night and saw pic related among a pile of Christmas decorations on the table. Forgot I even used to have this controller. Was excited to have it once again thinking my mom found it in storage or something. Opened it up to find snowflake ornaments stored inside. My mom has kept the box for close to 20 years now to store decorations kek
oh and lets have an aftermarket controller thread
That thing probably would have traumatized me and ruined my entire childhood. Sorry to hear you had to play with that horrid piece of crap, anon.
Here is the back. The box is in great condition. Easily 9/10. Just wish it had a controller inside. Oh and Sry about the pic quality. House was pretty dark needed to use flash.
One Christmas I got a Mad Catz N64 controller than actually managed to be worse that the regular N64 controller.

I'm looking for what's known as a "famiclone", so I thought that we could discuss those retro-machine clones in general anyway.
whats you opinion on them?
also - is there any half-way decent one that comes with straight ripped roms from NES games on aliexpress.com?
all I find seem to have weird china-games
I just want something really cheap that allows for playing 8bit-era retro stuff on a TV - since a NES everdrive is too expensive for my current situation. only two criteria: first, it should have at least a couple of good NES classics...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
As far as I understand it the older clones were actual hardware clones and all the clones you see today are pretty much an emulator on a chip,if you just want a cheap way to play nes games they are good I guess but expect shoddy build quality and dodgy emulation ,and the bootleg carts are all designed to work on the real system but you would need a cartridge converter for famicom to nes
>>2835349
wouldn't emulator chips be straight up more expensive than direct clones?
they obviously have quality issues - but that's just a trade-off thing.
>>2835353
Reproducing exact hardware is about 500x more expensive than an emulator on a chip. There is almost no components in a "on a chip" machine. In fact if it supports original controllers, the hardware for the controller ports is most likely more money than the main board.
/vr/, what would you do to improve Bubsy's gameplay?
Don't have CATastrophically unstructured and chaotic levels, especially in the very first level the player is introduced to.
>>2835268
Slow down Bubsy's speed when jumping and falling, and lower his maximum speed in general.
He plays far too fast to easily control.
>Japanese version
Too easy. i beat it on Very Hard with no death using Zan and spamming shoulder. lev 3 tackl on bottom of screen. kill everything...
>American version
Too hard. can't beat game on normal setting without using continue. forced to cheese with jumpkick. so boring and repitive.
There's no "just right" for this game. Both versions suck. Lame game tbqh familia
>can't beat game on normal setting without using continue
Nigga this is not an arcade game, just use continues.
>>2834893
I agree, however, it's still a good game even if you can't beat it. Every year or two I try to get as far as I can.
>>2834924
nigga i don't even play arcade games.
What's the closest game to Cave Story in mechanics, controls, and light but touching story?
>>2834791
Xenogears.
>>2834793
Erm, wut? Am I wrong or is Xenogears totally different mechanics...
Anyone every play ZZT?
Ok, so is there a game like Snatcher but with some RPG elements tacked on? And don't tell me about that chibi Snatcher RPG that already exists. I'm asking about basing all the gameplay on commands, first person, no transitions between change of scenery, investigative gameplay & puzzles, but with some turn based fights, exp and so on. I don't care if it's retro or not.
Sierra Quest for Glory series?
Rance 1
Shadowrun on SNES
My friend told me the SNES version of Mortal Kombat was the best, I looked at him and told him it wasn't even the same engine as the arcade game. What was the best home version of Mortal Kombat? I gotta say the Genesis/Mega Drive version plays pretty damn well with a six button controller.
>>2834612
Sega CD version was best. but between the genny and the SNES versions, I preferred the SNES version grey sweat/blood and all.
>>2834617
Sega CD had those load times... I mean the game hasn't aged like wine so either port isn't bad at all. I'd say Genesis feels the most like the arcade so yeah, Genesis.
Genesis version had Matt Furniss do the music; any multiplat game with his music gives the Genesis version a ton of points in their favor.

What's the best standalone NES clone?
Not that hideous thing, whatever the fuck it is.
>>2834589
It's a $15 dorrar Famiclone called the "8-bit entertainment system"
Tamagotchi thread GO.
Dinky Dino master race
The tamagotchis im looking for are japanese only, but it seems like its possible to patch them to English. Is that true or just internet bullshit?
>>2834408
If you're talking about the Tamagotchi P's, here's a tama-zone thread on patching them.

I wanna play Jap consoles in Europe, but our power standards are different. Any Europeans out there who have succeeded?
>>2834156
Uh, any stepdown converter is good as long as the consoles power rating does not exceed the converters.
And for some older consoles that use DC power, you can just use the power brick of a EU unit. I use the same PAL Megadrive plug for all my Japanese megadrives and US Genesis consoles.
However, you have to make sure that the DC converters output matches that of the consoles. Megadrive 1 and 2 have inverted polarity plugs, for example.
>>2834178
Listen to this man.
Just look up your console's voltage and amps and buy a power adapter that supplies just that.
Out Voltage is important, get one that matches the original adapter.
Out Amperage should be at least the same as the original, it doesn't hurt to go bigger.
>>2834207
Got any links for a PS1 compatible one?
Thanks, guys!
I just finished Panorama Cotton for the Sega Genesis.

>o_O
JUST
did one of the spikes go through his anus? the one he's covering with his arm
I like the bladewall better
Ah, the original snuff porn game.
Best character from the game. Prove me wrong.
More like only good character.
>>2833640
Ungermax hits faster, doesn't require reels, and can be easily mimed to kill Emerald Weapon in a little over a minute.
>>2833640
Trick question. He is not actually a character as he is never actually characterized.
What modern controllers do you guys own that are prime for emulation? I was recently reminded of the new MadCatz Fightpad Pro and imagined all of the games this controller would be perfect for.
>>2833606
fuck fucking matcatz
dual shock 3 is good
I use a DS4
The Wii U Pro is my second favorite modern controller though I don't own one myself.
If I weren't so content with the DS4 I'd probably go with a Saturn controlpad for anything that didn't need analog sticks
>>2834597
MadCatz makes good arcade sticks. It's the only thing they make well. And that's only because the parts are cheap and it's impossible to fuck up if you're using real parts.
