Tell me Why i should play 7th Saga?
If is one of your favorite games, why is it?
it's hard and stuff. like lunar it punishes you for overleveling
>>2787727
I have heard that this game has dedicated fans
I dunno OP, I emulated it a while ago and had fun with it.
Like >>2787727 said, there's a boss that levels with you, and if you're too overleveled he's pretty much broken. But you can beat him by getting lucky with critical hits...
Mystic Ark is more fun, though. The same weird somber/dream-like tone but in a series of absurd worlds rather than a regular fantasy world.
Long story short I have a car stereo that allows me to hook up game consoles via RCA input. Every time I hook it up I'm faced with the desire to hook up a game console, and now that I put it into more of a "family car" (see: people can fit in the back seat) I want to do it finally.
In your opinion what console would be the best? My only qualifications are:
>Would prefer something that will require little to no user interaction as far as turning it on and selecting games go. My ultimate goal is to have it on a toggle switch so everything can be contained in the trunk.
>8bit or newer
>Preferably something that doesn't require a ground
>If it's something that used a DC power supply I'd be pleased because I can directly wire it to the car's electrical
>Money is an object so no NeoGeo or something pricey like that
I'm semi-considering a Wii loaded up with roms, emulators, and a couple programs, but figured I'd see if any of you had input.
Well, OP, which console would you care least about being stolen once your car is inevitably broken into?
>>2786675
Nobody is going to break into a rusty 2003 Taurus with a 15 year old radio in it.
Does anyone here have the Mischief Makers OST in CD form? Im not looking for the .USF soundtrack because as far as I know it lacks one track.
Mischief Makers thread too
>>2786592
I've got it all in mp3, buts that about it

if you search for the cd catalog number you may able to find a download, i know that Headdy, Gunstar Heroes, YuYu Hakasho and Alien Soldier have remixes unique to their cd releases also
Is Faxanadu worth playing?
Definitely, yes.
>>2785838
Do you like adventure games? Yes/No
There's your answer. It's quite good if you like this kind of game.
Yes. Faxanadu is a game that by all rights should be typically gouged & overpriced, yet somehow it's remained a 5 buck title.
Does /vr/ loves Might & Magic , the RPG series ?
Pic related, my favorite game of the series
which one is your favorite?
2. It's so wonderfully broken.
>>2785148
Tried part six.
Got too fucking repetitive. Stopped.
>>2785151
part 6 starts with giants dungeon so I agree it can be very overwhelming at first
Not sure what to play? Don't know where to turn? Don't make a new thread, post about it here instead!
I recently got a Super Everdrive, and thus finally a reason to plug in the SNES mouse I've been carrying with me for about 8 years. Test program says everything worked perfect, I ran it through Mario Paint and Civilization, both worked great.
My question is, are there any other SNES Mouse compatible games worth playing other than:
AD&D:Eye of the Beholder
Civilization
King Arthur's World
Lemmings 2
Might and Magic 3
Mario Paint
? Because other than those and maybe Arkanoid, I don't see any games worth playing, and I don't know about the PAL and Japan releases. Anyone have any recs?
a lot of them are Japan only, but wikipedia has a full list of all the SNES mouse compatible games...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNES_Mouse
I, on the other hand, have an everdrive and no SNES mouse and therefore had to download the hacked joystick version of Mario Paint in order to get it to work.
>>2785134
I recommend Kid Dracula on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Just found the expansion for Warcraft 2 at goodwill. Fun af. Also DOS games thread.
Did anyone ever find any good content on those cds that claims to have over 101 games?
Why don't you get the BNE? It has Beyond the Dark Portal included and a bunch of convenient additions.
>>2785372
what this anon said. find a torrent for the WCII:BNE ISO file and mount that shit like a fucking stallion bro
I just finished Dino Crisis 1 for the first time, and I found it to be pretty obnoxious. I like RE 1-3, but the DDS keys and stupid crane pipe puzzles made little sense to me. It also seemed like there was almost no point to the guns. Maybe it's because I was an RE vet first, but 90% of the time it was a better idea to just run past the dinosaurs and follow through on all the stupid fetch quests and doubling back for keys and batteries.
Is the second game any better? I'm kinda disappointed; I think over hype for this game killed it for me.
>>2784876
>It also seemed like there was almost no point to the guns.
Guns in DC were meant to stun dinosaurs. Made it way more survival-y since you couldn't just shotgun your way through a hallway and come back later to waltz through.
>>2784889
Yeah, it's just that if you were good enough at running and juking, you didn't really even need to stun dinos. I only played it on Normal though, so I could imagine it being a necessity on Hard. The variety of dinos was also sorely lacking. Is Dino Crisis 2 still very puzzle/fetching oriented? Kinda bored me.
>>2784891
Dino crisis 2 was more action oriented.
how much did u pay for your copy?
>>2784567
I'd pay up to £100 for a boxed version. £60 for unboxed.
>>2784567
£20
Came with Rare Replay
>>2784573
thought it got left out? that's cool
I want to see someone install an FM Towns Car Marty into a DeLorean.
>>2784309
I want to see someone play OOT on an N64 connected to a HiSaturn Navi
>>2784325
I don't get it
my post was a shitty BttF joke attempt
>>2784463
Navi.
The Internet confuses me. What's the objectively best version of this game available in English?
Keep in mind that unless it's on Wii (the only console I own) I'll have to emulate it. Already tried emulating the PSP version and I'm getting a bug where the background music stops early and the cutscenes don't play properly (sometimes I get only the audio and THEN the cutscene starts with no audio. Sometimes it just hangs), I'm not putting up with that.
Is settling for the SNES version even a decent option?
>objectively
I am I laffin
Why do you need English? Just buy the Wii version.
The only official English is the psp port. There's a translation patch for the original pce version too.
I'm not gonna start a debate, but I personally do not like Dracula X snes. On the other hand, Rondo is one of my favorite games.
Try both though. See if you like either.
SNES "version" is a different game.
Are there any old, preferably 2D, games that have mechanics similar to modern-day horror games? Like for example in Soma there's a part where you're in a maze-like area where an enemy is following you, and you can close doors behind you to slow him down. Or in Knock-knock (pic related) where you have to repair lights to slow down enemy-spawning. Like you can't directly attack enemies, but you can do stuff in the environment to slow them down?
I haven't played the games you're talking about, but sounds to me like you're describing clock tower.
Clock Tower sounds like it's what you're looking for. I've never played the game you're talking about but it sounds like a borderline rip off.
I live in PAL region. Is it better to hook up my N64 via chinch cable or chinch with scart converter to my HDMI? Is it the same? Is quality lost or added through the converter which comes standard with consoles? I wish I could connect the N64 to the YCbCr/YPbPr port of my HDTV like my PS2 for superior picture quality. When you put the yellow video cable in the blue port you get b/w picture but it looks far more superior. Are there any YCbCr/YPbPr n64 cables? What is the talk about s-video vs composite cable in NTSC regions? Is composite basically chinch? In europe composite is YCbCr/YPbPr. I guess s-video is the best for analogue TVs. What is the best for HDTVs?
Can u put the wii/wii u YCbCr/YPbPr cable into the n64?
It is exactly the same shitty composite video.
A few things:
- Your LCD might treat the signal differently (it shouldn't) according to the input, and use different post-processing (all of which will add significant lag). If you disable all post processing ("game mode") then you'll get the same exact picture quality in the end (ton of color bleed, bad definition, everything smeared across the screen).
- PAL N64 can not output S-Video at all because Nintendo was incredibly retarded and removed all support for it. Just as it can not output native RGB as well.
- You can mod the N64 for RGB, which will provide a very significant boost in quality. You'll need to buy additional hardware (an internal amp, basically) for that to work well.
- Alternatively, use an emulator. I'm dead serious here, the original console will look like ass on a HDTV anyway.
>>2783642
Funny, I also emulate, but I wanted to play Pokémon Snap again and it isn't working on emulation. Should I maybe connect the N64 to my old CRT? Will the picture quality be a bit better?
>>2783635
>In europe composite is YCbCr/YPbP
No, that always has been "component", aka "YUV".
>you get b/w picture but it looks far more superior.
Composite doesn't handle color information well, at all. B&W pictures will indeed look sharp in comparison, as Chrominance information won't get in the way and "jam" the signal.
>Is composite basically chinch?
No. Composite is a signal. "Cinch" is a connector type, usually just called "RCA" (although it wasn't invented by the Radio Corporation of America at all, but whatever). Usually, composite video is carried over a yellow RCA connector, yes.
Component video ("YUV") is also carried over RCA connectors usually too (three for video, two for audio).
RGB is usually carried over SCART connectors (or, in North America, BNC connectors).
SCART is a multipurpose connector still, and can carry a lot of other signal types as well, like composite, svideo, or audio (to the TV, as well as from the TV to other devices). This is why it has a lot of pins, some being useless for consoles and unused or simply removed from the connector.
>s-video is the best for analogue TVs
No, VGA is (progressive scan), then RGB (raw unencoded picture buffer) if SD. YUV can surpass RGB in some situations, but is encoded, with encoding/decoding chips varying in quality.
If 240p, RGB SCART usually is the best and easiest way of doing things.
>Can u put the wii/wii u YCbCr/YPbPr cable into the n64?
You'll probably just get composite video over a single RCA connector, and not YUV. PAL N64s can not do S-Video, that was a design choice by the manufacturer.
Can we have a thread dedicated to cabs, or maybe even arcades in general?
>>2783587
putting an emulator on a wooden shelf won't make your scrub ass play any better, noob
>>2783595
Yeah but it'sfun
And nobody said anything about emulators, plenty of people collect PCBs
I have some cabs. Plan on making an arcade/bar in my basement. It's tons of fun playing the real thing but Fuck me these things sometime break from just sitting in my basement kek
I bought one a little over 2 years ago and although I wouldn't drop the amount of money for a brand new car to play Neo Turf Masters on it, I think I've gathered up a pretty decent little collection at this point.
So far I've got The Super Spy, Ninja Combat, (meh I know but they were the ones that came with the console), Top Player's Golf, The King of Monsters, Samurai Shodown, Fatal Fury Special, Magician Lord, Crossed Swords, Baseball Stars 2 & Nam 1975
I would like to pick up a few more for it but I'm not sure which ones I have yet to buy that aren't like hundreds of dollars now. There are no flash carts for it and there are multicarts but they're like $500. So do you have any specific recommended titles for me /vr?
Sell your AES and grab yourself a consolized MVS or a supergun + MVS board and get MVS carts. You can get that Neo Geo 161 in 1 that only costs $80 or so.
>>2783246
Yeah some of those are really nice especially the consolized MVS's made of stained walnut wood but damned that AES is a sexy machine too. How much are MVS to AES conversion carts going for these days?
>>2783239
I would advise getting rid of the AES and getting an MVS instead honestly.
AES is just too damn pricey. I'm even feeling the burn on MVS and theres only a handful more games I even really want for it. namely Neo Drift Out, Neo Turf Masters, Twinkle Star Sprites, Blazing Star, Bust-a-move 2, and Shocktroopers.
My collection:
>Metal Slug 1-4 + X (4 is pirate)
>Magician Lord
>Magical Drop 2
>Puzzle Bobble
>Crossed Swords
>Strikers 1945+
>Sengoku 3
>Windjammers (JP)
