Gizmondo Thread.

is it better than Ngage?

I should really pick one of those up, just for its history.
Gizmondo is Windows CE, NGage is Symbian and if you want the trifecta with a Palm device it's pic related - Tapwave Zodiac.
Mobile devices have seen enormous progress in the last decade so all of the above are shit devices by reasonable standards. Screens are shit. Batteries are shit. Resistive touch screens are shit. Just emulate all three platforms on your Android game device.
The libraries are all worth looking at, though. They have a certain flavor thatisn't /vr/ related but...

Gizmondo was part of a scam by Stefan Erikkson. It's somewhat surprising that any consoles were even released at all but it's even more surprising he's still alive.
Why can't I find a screenshot of the Famicom version's title screen? Does it not have one or something?
Also Dragon Quest thread.

dragon warrior monsters was better than pokemon, and the dragon warrior monsters 2 key system/wold gen was really cool.
Hey /vr/ I'm out at a goodwill right now looking to buy a new CRT. Any who I am torn between 2 CRTs the TheatreView SD by Toshiba and the D — series by JVC. Do you guys know which to buy?

What game invented wall jumping?
Was it this one?
>>2782293
The first game that came to mind was Street Fighter 2010, but you don't technically do triangle jumps in that. Instead, you grapple to walls and then can jump off when you want to.
According to release dates though, Batman did come out about 1/2 a year earlier.
>>2782324
I'd still count that as wall jumping, but Batman was earlier, as you said.
I am just asking the question because I watched a review of Super Mario 64 where the reviewer said it incorporates aspects of other previous Nintendo games "such as the ground pound from Yoshi's Island and the wall jumping that could be taken from Super Metroid". It made me wonder, that surely there are earlier games than Super Metroid that had wall jumping. Batman was the earliest I could think off.

Valkyrie Profile thread.
I'm pretty lost in my first playthrough. The general consensus online was that hard mode is the way to go, but I've finished the third chapter and I'm still getting my ass handed to me by the occasional dragon monster. Am I retarded? My evaluation is still pretty excellent and Asgard is doing well... but I can't fight for shit.
Game is so pretty though.

Who's your active party in most cases? Depending on formation and equipment, you'll have to figure out the best order of attacks, and add in extra presses for weapons that allow multiple hits.
For instance, I'm currently using Lenneth, Janus, Arngrim, and (mermaid girl). Lenneth has a bow that has 3 hits, Janus is using a bow with 2 hits, Arngrim has a 2 hit sword, and the mermaid girl uses Frigid Damsel.
On a turn where all four can attack, I start off with Frigid Damsel, then alternate between...

Also, for most of the game, if not all of it, do yourself a huge favor, and give Lenneth a bow. It does more damage overall in terms of hits, and if it gives the aforementioned multiple attacks, you're looking at taking a single target down by half in most cases.
>>2782280
>>2782282
I'll take your advice on the bow. For the most part I'm running Lenneth, Arngrim, Mermaid lady and whatever new guy I'm trying to level grind (or Belanus if I'm in a tight spot.) For the most part I keep my enemies juggled but I'm confused about how that system works, because it seems like only one in every three juggles do I get a crystal.
Most of my experience seems to come from using tomes of alchemy in the cave of Oblivion.
Can you think of some 16bit/bit high quality platformers with nice colourful graphics that arent Yoshi's Island, Plok! and Rayman?
Mario World and the Sonic games dont look as good IMO.
Should I give a try to Megaman 7, 8 and the Playstation Megaman X games?
I don't remember that level from rayman at all, must be from the pc expansion.

I'm bored. Someone, send me a free Laseractive to play with.
Laserdisc gaming general, I guess.

are you a famous Youtuber I can become a fan of?
How's that Daphne support for LaserActive coming along?
Did that guy who was ripping and dumping's wife make him stop?

No thanks, though I'm envious of the money I don't want to become a pewdiepie
I've heard that this clone of the Gameboy Color has really high compatibilty while having a backlit screen. Anyone who has any experience with it, that can confirm?
Compatibility is fine and controls are better than they look. That too-wide screen tho...
>>2781998
This, it's on sale for $25.99 for a while this month, so it's totally worth that.
Or get a supercard sd for half as much and play everything on your advance
Hope, I'm right here. Gf never learned proper mouse + keyboard handling as in 'being able to play an ego shooter on pc'. Wanted to introduce her to quake 1 this weekend. Anon, what is the proper way to bring q1 with latest updates, optimizations, addons etc. to a win7 (64) machine? WHAT to grad WHERE? I kinda remember there where uncountable mods, patches and the like. Help me get through this jungle, please.

Project64/Mupen64 GLIDE(n)64 vs Dolphin Virtual Console?
Which one do you use? Which one do you think is superior for emulation?
Same question goes for the other consoles.
Dolphin Virtual Console or Nestopia, bnes, etc...?
VC has a pretty limited selection of games.
>>2782175
Really? That sucks. I always thought it was the best, but Pokemon Snap still doesn't work.
mupen64plus w/ rice-video-linux because muh freedum
If something like that is sticking out on the bottom of your spaceship, then how the hell are you supposed to land the spaceship without breaking that thing off?
>>2781706
It probably folds up.
If something like that is sticking out on the bottom of your bird, then how the hell are you supposed to land the bird without breaking that thing off?
what about this one?
i don't see any fucking joints or anything that lead me to believe that these wings/tails can fold up

Maybe you knew already.
Eggplant Wizard told jokes in the cartoon Captain N because he was part of a pun in the game.
In Japanese the words for nurse and eggplant are homophones, なす and ナス respectively.
I didn't know that. Thanks
>>2781590
They're not homophones, the a in the first vowel is long in nurse and short in eggplant.
But yes, they're similar enough to create jokes around.
I take back 20% of my thanks because of what this guy >>2781663 said. Fuck you for misrepresenting the situation, OP.

anyone else here remember this game for psx?
>>2781569
WOW me and a mate played that at long time ago in Bondi used to have to put music cd's in to get new monsters
>>2781569
Yeah I adored this game as a kid. The mechanic of putting in a variety of different discs for unique monsters was genius.
Every time someone talks about that Monster Hunter game I think they're talking about this and get pissed off that it's not still around. This game was the shit
We know Nintendo was kinda stingy about the cost of the chip, but what other games would have benefited from it?
As far as I know it didn't affect performance at all, all it could do was simple polygons and sprite rotation. The SDA-1 would have been more useful.
>>2781453
Whoops, I mean SA-1.
None, nobody cares about 3d if it means playing games at 5 fps.
Does anybody have some pictures, without scanlines, that show the difference between the Model 1 and 1-CHIP SNES models? I have heard mixed opinions on the 1-chips, with some people saying they have more colour and are much sharper, while others say that the shading isn't right and some games look terrible because of it.
I dont have photos, but I have had both regular and 1chip snes' and I can say with a fair bit of certainty that the 1chip is better.
>>2781328
I have both as well, and while the regular is less sharp and has more colorbleed, the 1CHIP has a far noiser image and way overbright whites and less dark blacks. I feel that on the balance of things, the regular is better (but I can understand why people might like the 1CHIP).
Is this the kind of thing you're after OP?
