Can we discuss Valkyrie Profile here and why it's one of the greatest games ever made?
>Dark, melancholic atmosphere that's presented perfectly
>Some of he most beautiful 2D artwork of any game ever made
>Gorgeous music
>Interesting plot and storyline, well designed characters
>One of few JRPGs with non-linear, open gameplay and challenging mechanics
>Made just before Enix was sold out to Square and turned to shit.

I tried it once, but there was about an hour of cutscenes before the game started. By the time I got control I was already bored and stopped playing.
>>2785931
Great game. I'd still love to get my hands on a physical copy one of these days.
Anyone know if there is a community for scanning old strategy guides?
There were some nice bits of fluff in some of those guides.
I recall seeing the pic on the left alongside a description of all the power-ups in the game in relation to the part of the suit, and I was dismayed to not find my old copy of it :(
All of them are already scanned. Check UndergroundGamer.
Nah this shit ain't dyin'.

This game rules. I've been trying to no death/default weapon/Fang/good ending run it. Virtual zone boss and final missile boss are problem areas though.

General Homebrew Retro Games Thread
A thread to post your favorite homebrew games for classic consoles.
homebrew is not retro
>>2785091
and also does anyone know where i can find a rom download of this game? i've only had luck finding physical copies for sale
>>2785093
on a retro console, same difference
How do you shelf cartridges without end labels while still making them easy to look through?
Universal game cases
>>2785021
I write the title on the top with a sharpie. And yes, I am mostly saying this because of how autistic some of you fags will get over it.
I really do that though, lol...
>>2785024
Sharpie can be removed if necessary. Nothing to get autistic about.
When did game manuals get shit /vr/?
Greatest hits on PS1 is where it all went down hill.
>too cheap to give people colored manuals
>>2784863
All we get now are shit flaps of double-sided paper with one side controls and one side legal information.
>>2784872
I just bought Monster Hunter 4U for the 3DS... the "instruction manual" was safety information in 3 languages and literally nothing else.
Not sure how much interest is left in these since scanbro fell off the earth, but I have more books to show.
Mega Man VR
2012 - 2013
RIP

I had forgotten this was even a thing, RIP. Not surprising though, most 4chan projects die horribly.
How fucking incompetent can you be? You disgust me.
>>2784450
Was supposed to be a fan game for the community of /vr/, but got abandoned as the team got busy with other things.
Why are the games from the Mega Man X series so much more popular than the Classic games around here? They have way less challenging platforming and are honestly pretty dull to play.
>>2784348
It makes me sad that Mega Man 3 is Inafune's least favorite Mega Man.
Because Zero is best grill.

>They have way less challenging platforming
There you go. That was easy.
Both games are finally being translated! Apparently these are two of the best Falcom games ever made.
Both games have been hacked so now the script can be placed in the code.
>I am beginning to get a feel for how long it's going to take to translate Xanadu I. The prologue strikes me as having a little more text than the average chapter, of which there are 12 in total. Assuming that's true, I expect it to take around 80-100 hours to work up a full first draft.
>This is a really fun game to work on, though. The locations are all so unique and developed. In the prologue chapter, for example, there are two villages on an island that each make their own wines, and they're rivals. A drama unfolds involving the two mayors and two lead winemakers of both towns as well as the aristocrats who have come to vacation in a private, out of the way mansion. There's a cave with an ancient monster in the mix, too.
>The next chapter is totally different. It happens in a port town run by a corrupt businessman who over-taxes a nearby community of old farmers. A thief, who eventually joins your party, plays a Robin-Hood role between them. After many events, you get a ship to sail around a mountain range to a town that's been destroyed by monsters, where important discoveries are made.
>Each of the 12 chapters is unique like this. Every one has a set-up entirely its own, full of characters with developed and important identities. I think people will enjoy experiencing this in English.
I put in a couple hours today. I'll try to post every time I make progress!

>Elmer started hacking Xanadu II from square one. It has only been a few weeks since he began, but already he has not only cracked Xanadu II, but also made enormous headway into opening up Xanadu I for translation as well.
>Xanadu II is first in line to get done. At this time, the script is extracting completely, including odd things like the menu text and weapon shop text. Once any remaining kinks are ironed out and the layout of the dump is finalized, we'll be able to transfer my old translation into the new dump (hopefully using automation) and begin reinsertion. No promises, but since the Japanese-to-English side is already so far along, this should come together relatively quickly.
>Xanadu I is a beast of a game. It is literally 2.5 times the size of Xanadu II in almost every regard: it takes about that much longer to beat, there is about that much more text, and the cut-scenes are about that many more minutes. Though there are some things about the way it operates behind the scenes that are structurally simpler than Xanadu II, we're also more starved for free RAM with it. A good English translation is going to take up a lot more space than the original Japanese text, so some miracles are going to have to be performed to make everything fit. However, I am very optimistic about it coming together.
>I really hope it does, too, because Xanadu I is a hell of a game.
>However, at this time, none of the enormous in-game script is translated. It's going to take a while. Happily, while waiting for new script dumps, I have as of today completed my first draft of an English script for Xanadu I's cut-scenes. They literally total over one hour in running time, and the draft is over 5000 words. And this leads me to...
I don't understand Falcom's naming policy. What do Legend of Xanadu Next or Tokyo Xanadu have to do with Dragon Slayer 2: Xanadu?
>>2784059
Xanadu is a real thing.

So talking to a friend today about our backlogs and how strapped we are for time to play games, made me think of when I was younger and was instead time-rich and game poor.
Not a new notion by any means, but which games did you put the burn on back in the day, the games you played to death and then just kept on playing?
For me I remember Shining Force III on Saturn got so many hours of playtime. I got up to the Vandal boss in the haunted house and couldn't get any further on my first playthrough. I re-started the game from the beginning, and managed to finish it all the way to the end. I loved it so much, I just almost immediately started a new save file and played the game again. Not long after fininshing a second time, I tried again, trying to get all the secret characters and trying different weapons and strategies. I just couldn't get enough of that game, I played it through to completion so many times just trying diferent teams and weapon combinations (I could never save all the refugees until I played it a few years ago with a guide though...)
Crazy Taxi was another one, on Dreamcast although I had a lot of games, this one was like crack for me. Not only did my friends love the shit out of it everytime they came over, I used to play it consistently throughout the Dreamcast's lifespan. I managed to get high scores of over $20k pretty often. I feel like I got over $50k once, but i think I must be remembering it wrong. I do remember this game was in my Dreamcast in between pretty much every other game I owned, I always was keen to play a quick couple of rounds of Arcade Mode.
Played the hell out of Rayman 2 on the PC. The game is pretty linear but I still went through trying to get all the lums, cages, and secret level endings. Still my favorite Rayman game in terms of gameplay, story, and aesthetics. Overall really charming. Really felt they nailed this one. I still make an effort to play it through at least once a year. 3 was kind of a let down, but still hoping we'll see any kind of Rayman 4, even if it's not like the 2nd.
completely rinsed thps2 when i was a kid
>>2783453
You know the other Shining Force 3 games for saturn have been translated right?
Does anyone else miss multi-disc games?
Not that one in particular, but in general yes.
It's kinda strange that I would miss something like that, come to think of it.
Miss? I play em all the time but I'm pissed my ps2 disc tray motor is fucking up. Gotta hold it out while I put the next disc in while it desperately tries to snap my ps1 X Files disc. Buying a slim from a buddy for $20 so I'm excited to excise this paranoia for good.
>>2783005
This is why you should always go for top-loading optical media devices
What does /vr/ think about the Delta Force games ?
they all look the same but I played the demo of the first one to death
>>2782806
played the first one but long time ago so don't really remembererd
seemed a bit like op flashpoint but not as good
claymores in the armory
too good
ITT: Cute sprites. Simple as that!
>LOOK AT ME, I COPY AND PASTED SPRITES!
>BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO MY BLOG FOR ALL THING SPRITES!
Christ, kids are really desperate for " fame"
>>2782780
It's especially hilarious when you see stuff like "Do not use sprites from this sheet without crediting me!" or some shit on a sheet
nigga I ain't fucking crediting you on your half-assed rip from some game nobody except me and like six other people know about
Whose dick do I have to suck to get a translated version of Goemon 3? It has a Zelda-like overworld with quests, objects and characters, so it requires text comprehension more than the other games, but still has all the wacky, colorful creativity and 2D platforming typical of the franchise
OP there's already a thread about games you want to see translated but likely never will.
But this is a Goemon thread so I'm not mad at you.
I wish the good PS1 games in the style of the SNES games would get translated. At least the GBC game is a straight platformer and can be played without problems.
As for the dick sucking, just pay them. That'll do.
