Are cables like this any good? I hear bad things about S-video cables that have a composite out, but it's really hard to find shielded ones without it for a reasonable price.
I am sorry for what your thread will become
composite to s-video is pointless
/thread
>>4038791
Yes you retard but what I'm asking is if an S-Video/composite video cable is even worth using?
Where were you when retro game speculators and collectors decided to kill the future of the hobby?
You know a Jaguar with a clear case would be pretty dope
Just collect GameBoy/Sega/Atari games and get flashcarts for everything else. That's what I'm doing
what are some retro games with a school setting? genre doesn't necessarily matter
Corpse Party Classic; It's horror, and made in a really old version of RPGmaker
Graduation
>>4038202
I got you, my man. The only game you need with a school setting is True Love.

which chip ?

all the chips dumb frog poster
Why did the NES have its 8-sprite-per-scanline limitation? Why, physically, couldn't it display all 64 PPU sprites on a given scanline at once?
It seems like such a weird limitation. Why not make it 16 sprites so there wouldn't be so much flicker?
>>4037789
Each scanline the Picture Processing Unit (PPU) has to enumerate a list of objects (the technical word for what you call sprites) to draw. There is a limited amount of memory (like you say, I think 8 objects) for this compared to the total amount of objects the NES can keep track of simultaneously (I think 64). It was a compromise that kept costs down.
>>4037789
It's only weird to you because you are clueless about how tile-based hardware worked. The reason is simply PPU die size limitation combined with limited VRAM bandwidth and limited PPU clock speed.
>use FCEU X emulator
>turn on "allow more than 8 sprites per scanlined"
>???
>Profit!!
Or if you're a rich fucker by one of these NES clones with this feature.
Hi!
I really love retro games, so I decided to have my own collection.
In my local store there are a GC and a N64. They cost 55€. I saved about 80€, and I only have the money to buy one. Is it a good deal? Which one would you choose? They don't have the box. It's a problem. Where did you buy all your game consoles? What TV ports are necessary?
Sorry, I'm new, and all the people I ask is like:
>You have a PS4, why do you want all that old things?
>>4037617
I know it isn't retro, but I don't know where to post it.
>>4037645
Sorry. I will post it there.
raspberry or retron ?
>>4037573
Do you have the cartridges? Retron. Raspberry Pi emulates the game.
One requires you to buy the original cartridges in order to emulate the games using stole, fucked with and outdated cores. The other is a legitimately great straight emulation solution with no ongoing costs along with a fantastic support and development community.
Gee, I wonder...
>>4037585
Retron emulates too you utter gonk.

Haven't been to /doom/ in a little bit. I normally use VirtualMIDISynth to use different soundfonts, but on GZDoom 3.1, it seems VirtualMIDISynth isn't working anymore for me. Is it a change in the program, or is it something on my end?

oh man... this one intimidates me.
PS2
Would a NES cartridge with this on the bottom still work?
probably yes
Damage to the plastic parts of the cartridge shouldn't usually affect the games function. If there are scratches like that on the exposed portion of the board, however, you may have some trouble with it. Even in that case, I have had some heavily damaged games still work before.

It's not that great anon. I won't go into details talking about it, just know that it's a somewhat unique game in a time where mascots were still alive and thriving.
Wish I had a buddy to play spyro with

track in question, but you should already know this song. best song on the system? possibly.
What are your favourite multiplayer puzzle games, /vr/?
Inb4 puyo shit.
>>4034742
Pic related has got to be one of the best puzzle games because it's got a ton of strategy and speed involved and playing versus mode (COM but also second player) is always a blast. It surprises me how little it's mentioned compared to other classics like Dr. Mario, PDP/Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle League, Tetris and PP.
Top 10 Vs. Puzzle Games:
Pac-Attack
Hanagumi Taisen Columns
Kirby's Star Stacker
Panic Bomber World
Bust-A-Move 2
Tetris Battle Gaiden
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
Wario's Woods
Money Puzzle Exchanger
Puyo Puyo Tsu
Which RPGs with a twist on the standard RPG battle system do you like /vr/?
Doesn't have to be JRPG either, Infinity Engine games were fairly different than the standard fare that came before.
One of my personal favourites is Grandia. Turn order can be knocked back by being hit and positioning characters in battle is important too. Flawed at times, but very interesting.
treasure hunter g, legend of dragoon, FFIV(if I'm going to list an ATB game I may as well list the one that did it first)
grandia parallel trippers, magna braban (for having the only real time party based battle system I could stomach, even though the game is average)
vandal hearts 2
>>4032817
What game is that pic?
>>4032936
Did you read the OP? It's Grandia.
Why didn't it get a 16-bit remake, /vr/?
great game
>>4031239
Because it was already good. Also fuck anyone who asks for remakes
>>4031285
i didn't say it wasn't good, i liked it and it would have been nice to have more
chill out my man
