It looks weird upscaled that much, but still appealing, in an early lowpoly way. This game predates both Legends and OOT, and I like it better than both of those.

Has any other developer splash screen led to as much confusion and misinformation as this one?

The name is from a programmers team in Capcom.
>>
>>4077264
That's right. But this screen itself always seems to get people scratching their heads, likely because only one game ever featured it, even though this team actually worked on many games.
>>
>>4077270
They actually worked in only three games Vampire Savior, Super Puzzle Fighter II and Pocket Fighter.
Since they where a CP2 only team, they where disbanded in the late 90s when the CP3 was flopping and Capcom started using the Naomi for most of they arcade games.

Hey guys, I just wanted to know, is there any way to connect a newer USB arcade stick like the Hori RAPs to older consoles like the PS1/2 or the Saturn?

Just get pic related instead (the one with screws in the top plate like mine is >9000% better than the version without).

There are saturn ones available too.

whats better: super metroid or fusion?
149 posts and 20 images submitted.

Super is retro, Fusion is not.
Both are pretty good and Fusion is a sequel to Super, to you should play both anyway.
>>
If Super is the best game of all time, how can Fusion be better?!
>>
>>4034084
this, like fusion is fine but super is basically the perfect game

So I'm trying to put together a small form factor PC with modern hardware that is still natively compatible with old MS-DOS games (no emulation).

CPU and graphics compatibility are thankfully not a problem, and I can even get MIDI music over UART serial port thanks to SoftMPU.

However, the gaping hole always seems to be the lack of FM synth and PCM sound effects, because old Sound Blaster-type sound cards require ISA slots with DMA.

To my knowledge, the last chipsets that supported ISA with DMA were from the Pentium 4 days circa 2003.

Ideally, there would be a SFF board featuring a modern Intel CPU socket and integrated ISA-based Sound Blaster-compatible sound chip, but that's quite a long shot.

So is there any hope that this hypothetical "modern MS-DOS gaming machine" can be brought into existence with existing parts?

The sound card would be the least of your worries. You wont be able to use cd audio in games either.
>>
If you want true DOS compatibility, you HAVE to have an ISA slot. There is no workaround to this due to PCI not having IRQ. And don't fall for the SoundBlaster 16 PCI meme, it emulates (very poorly) IRQ hooks and an OPL3. Sounds awful and has tons of compatibility issues.

But fret not, you can get a Pentium 3 or Athlon processor and board for cheap that have a true ISA slot. Avoid P4 boards with ISA because a fair amount of them are emulation IRQ or don't have it at all, thus limiting the kind of ISA boards you can use on it.

I good P3 can do everything old ass DOS up to the early 2000s if you so wanted.

Also, GeForce 2 thru the FX line have fantastic DOS compatibility, good VESA support, support for palatalized textures (was dropped in the >=6 series). You can literally get Geforce FX APG cards for $10, and have as good if not better compatibility then the best S3 cards of the era. Avoid ATI cards like the plague though, shit DOS compatibility.

Also, not all Sound Blaster cards are built the same. All Pro and Pro 2 cards are grate, bt make sure you look up the 16 cards, many are Vibra and don't have real OPL chips.

FF2 didn't have a job system. You're thinking of FF3.

Necessary Evil to put games back into circulation, or a plague on the retro game community? I use to hate their guts, but after hearing Goodwill & other store usually just throw away any games they can't sell I'm starting to question the whole thing. Thoughts?

It's a bit of both.

The stock will have to come from somewhere. If it's a shitty gamestore, or a guy scavenging garage sales it opens it up for more people to get product.

These days, the only thing I'm really interested in is doing repairs. It feels good to make a bit of profit while restoring things to their former glory.
>>
>>4102694
They're nothing compared to the faggots that only "collect" games and never play them. At least scalpers put games back into circulation, even if it is at an inflated price.
>>
>>4102710

Well then why do people get so pissed off at game flippers then? If you collect a game, & it stays off the market forever because it's on your bookshelf, isn't that much worse than someone going through all the games at a salvation army & throwing them on eBay?

What's the best way to protect GBC/GB game carts?

A concealable firearm

>>4102002
How could a concealed weapon possibly protect your games? Open-carrying would at least have a chance of deterring a potential attacker from messing with your games.

What's up woth these absolutley retarded threads latley.

>how do I protect my carts
>how do I collect retro games
>how do I get into retro games

My god, do you people ever just step back for a second and think about how fucking stupid these questions are? They're so fucking self explanitory it's not even funny. This shit doesn't even require an answer. Its just common sense.

Who or what the fuck are you protecting your carts from? K. Rool or some shit? Jesus.

I want to play the infamous Final Fantasy 2 but what port should I pick?

Also... FF general I guess

Let's talk about games where you rotate your ship, thrust, shoot at things and maybe have to deal with some gravity

>Asteroids
>Blasteroids
>Solar Jetman
>Subterranean
>Gravitar
>Space Duel
>Lunar Lander (kinda)

>>4100443
Great game, but I don't think it counts, because you just move freely with the stick rather than a thrust button with inertia.

Is it silly to replay adventure style games like Zelda Super Metroid and Metal Gear Solid?
Once you know the secrets / where to go its kinda pointless isnt it?

Why even play if u just gonna cheat

Play the game in another language. Maybe even one you sort of know? I 100%'d ALttP last fall in French.

It's a great way to squeeze some replay value out of a game.

They make a fantastic entertainment medium that way when played intoxicated. It becomes a movie-like medium that transcends what a normal movie can do. It applies to any other game, too, though.

After reading about input lag here, I hooked my Wii up to my bargain tier LCD tv. I'm willing to argue that the resulting input lag is completely acceptable. Pic related.

Lol, I prefer CRT's. I just like pissing on the trolls who over exaggerate input lag. Any LCD mad in the last five years should do the job
