How come /vr/ doesn't have active shmup threads anymore?
Did all the /vr/ shmup fans go to /vg/?
What's the last shooting game you played?
Not retro: Exzeal
Probably my favorite of the Triangle Service games. Ship type 3 with its proximity scoring system is the best
Retro: Task Force Harrier
Played this on location at a nickel arcade yesterday. Pretty simple game, but fun. It even has default autofire.

What causes these things to not boot or to hang during use? It is something that, with the power of internet,schematics and a soldering iron, could be repaired to make these things actually useful?

Not sure. I have a dead 2.2 myself. Luckily, my 3.0 still works. Oddly enough, when you plug the 3.0 into the 2.2, it will boot up. It's fucking weird.
Many games need the right keycode, and it doesn't come with all of them. SM64 is my go-to, because the default keycode always works and you can use that game to switch keycodes.
Many games also need a "master code" in order for the game to boot after visiting the GS main menu. Those can be harder to find for JP games, whereas some other keycode will usually work.
Definitely try to get v3.2 or 3.3, you can upgrade the firmware but I don't have any PC with a parallel port.

Does /vr/ like arena and multi-directional shooters such as Smash TV, Robotron, and Cannon Spike?
It's a nice genre, snes control pad was perfect for this and should had more titles besides Super Smash TV.
>Mfw I have a dream(cast) and never played Cannon Spike.
I must fix this someday.

And here is my face.

Is this the best option for a arcade stick for a sega saturn? got a lot of mixed signals about this thing.
>>3362637
This is the best one outside of making your own.
>>3362664
That's not to mention that it is any good, though. I have one and it was a huge disappointment: the stick has 50/50 chance of being a good Seimitsu or some kind of awful ASCII stick, the buttons are all noname crap, and you can't switch out the buttons without destroying the PCB and dremeling the button holes on the front - not to mention that you have to destroy the artwork if you want to change the stick, as it is a sticker with screws underneath.
You are better off getting a decent modern pad and soldering one of those crappy batwing style Saturn pad PCBs inside (due to the design of those pads, the PCBs come in three interconnected pieces, which means you have perfect solder holes for each button connector on the central board which hosts the connector and the controller IC).
>>3362693
is there any way of telling on the picture if it is a ASCII stick?

This is the 4th active thread on this
>plug and play
because i believe this thread
always gonna shine again
i believe a pot of shitposts waits at every thread's end, oh
i believe in MOTHER threads kissed with art,
so why shouldn't i believe in /vr/?
i believe in MOTHER games
gimmick bosses and no localization
i (don't) believe in promises
given by NoA, oh
i believe in boards forever blue
so why shouldn't i believe the same in (You)?
you may say i'm a shitposter
writing a song in op
you can call me a summerfag
say i should never post again
i believe in good MOTHER threads and that's why i believe in /vr/!
Remember this fake Mother 4 screenshot made by a japanese fan? it's actually also a homage to another game, let's see if anyone here knows which one.
>>3362125
Paperboy?
>>3362149
No.
It's also an RPG, and japan-only.
Trying to find a DOS version of the original AoW so I can configure and play it with DosBox on my Nexus 6p.
The game is from 1999. They stopped releasing for DOS at that point.
>>3362052
Several sites have claimed that it has a DOS version.
But if I can't find it, do you have another approach on how I can play it on android?

Zero. Play wesnoth instead
Is the good price ??
50€ / 55.57$
>>3361995
I got used Dreamcast with a controller and VMU for 50€, so no?

These are just the VMU collector (Black, cherry and marble) who are 50€.
I heard about a filter or plugin for a PSX emulator that fixes the jaggy polygons. Anyone know the name of it?
It's called Retroarch-Beetle and lets you ramp up the internal rendering resolution.
>>3361965
GTE Accuracy hack. Download PCSX-R and the relevant plugins.
Why world you play PS1 without the jaggies? It's one of the best things about it, similar to playing software Quake. Charming as fuck, and texture smoothing like the N64 does looks really bad on emulators.
I got a Philips CD-i but I mistook this output for RF. This is the same as Digital Coaxial right? Does it have to use a special cable?
It is Digital Coax, you can use any plain RCA cable to plug it into a receiver that supports it. Should sound great too.
Says right there
"CD/DA ONLY"
CD/Digital Audio, or Red Book, only.
>>3362023
But it will be Digital instead of Analog? And how can I how do it anyway? It's only 1 port.
Why are KKnD 1 and 2 so often called Red Alert or Starcraft rip-offs?
Red Alert came out on October 31, 1996 (according to wikipedia) and the first playable demo of KKnD 1 was released just one day later. It's not like they made that shit all up in one day.
Starcraft was released in March 1998, while the first (known) playable demo of KKnD 2 is from November 1997. The beta of Starcraft was in January or so of 1998 and another playable demo of KKnD 2 was out in February.
Calling them rip-offs is just stupid.
Back in the day KKnD was called a Command & Conquer (C&C) clone.
No one ever calls KKnD a Red Alert or Starcraft rip-off, ever. KKnD fell to obscurity like every other mediocre C&C clone released in 96/97 and no one cares.
>>3361850
>every other mediocre C&C clone released in 96/97
Almost every RTS game released in that era had it's own unique features. They weren't really any C&C clones.
If anything they should be called Dune II clones anyway since C&C is just a reskin of Dune II with the Atreides renamed into GDI, Harkonnen renamed into NOD and the Ordos cut.

I was a Nintendo kid, and later, a Nintendo/Playstation kid, so I missed out on a lot of games exclusive to Sega consoles. Would anyone mind recommending me some good Sega system only games? From the Master System to the Dreamcast, it doesn't matter. I've already played Sonic 1-3, Sonic Spinball, Boogerman, Castlevania: Bloodlines, and I know a few others, but most was in the mid 90s and I only played a bit. I'll take anything, but some genres I particularly like, in no particular order, are:
- RPGs
- Platformers
- Action
- Adventure
- Horror
- Stealth
But don't feel the need to limit games to just these genres. Also, if there are any great Japanese only games out there, don't leave them out either.

If you grew up on Nintendo you'd like Wonderboy in Monster World. It's a better Zelda 2.
Just finished system shock, it was hard
Is it worth it to play Terranova Strike force Centauri? i know it took a lot of time to make but im honestly getting bored
Bioforge was horrible
BTW if you ever have the chance to get it, play the portable version of System shock instead of that remaster on GOG, far more customizable and has some really nice mods and configurations built in, it was available until the GOG version appeared
ill now post Terranova screenshots and stuff so that someone might giddy up and give it a try because even if clunky you can see that there was a lot of love put into making it
