>What snes emulator should I use for android?
I don't recommend emulating games on a phone due to the shit touch screens that block the screen especially with the SNES since it has far more complex controls then the NES.

>>3997690
This here. I emulate Gameboy games regularly because of the portability and the simple controls but I wouldn't recommend SNES, PSX or N64 emulation on it. Your phone might be able to run them but playing them with either touch controls or a wireless bluetooth connected controller will without a doubt be frustrating.

Snes9x ex+ is fine for me, sound is perfect and good options for translucent controls so
>>3997690
Isn't much of a problem
still thinking of buying some kind of clip on gamepad though

>>3997476
Concentrate on your work

>>3997476
Emulate some old jrpgs but make sure to backup any save files

Glover.

Like most Gradius games, if you can do the first level or so flawlessly then the game becomes a breeze because you can remain fully powered throughout the whole thing.

I want to love this series, but its balance is horrible. You're either cucked beyond belief (at a new game or a respawn) or your overppowered and steamrolling everything in your path with the greatest of ease.

>>3997443
For real, dude. Good game design would be making it possible to make it through a game without dying with just your pea-shooter. Bonuses not applicable

>your overppowered and steamrolling everything in your path with the greatest of ease.
yeah, until you reach loop 2

Is what you're referring to like v-sync tearing or something else?

NOPE! No emulator can! They also all suffer from timing issues, so you might not be able to complete some timed events.

I don't think anyone can fix it unless somebody makes a proper Low Level Emulator for N64 games.

He's talking about pic related.

OP here.

I managed to 100% this game a few years ago on another laptop with a previous version of PJ64 by fiddling with the Counter Factor option when necessary. ATM, I've almost cleared out Frantic Factory, and so far there haven't been any problems.... yet.

>>3996951
Doesnt the seller just throw one in?

>>3997004
Well yes they had the original super famicom power supply, but I have heard that it can cause issues due to the difference between US and Japanese power outputs. I am not the most knowledgeable in early gen power stuff unfortunately.

Center negative 9v power supply that outputs 1,000 amps.

Your phone? A PSP?

The limiting factor will be the software that runs on the device. Any generic Android device should be sufficient to run Doom, though possibly not the crazy GZDoom stuff.

Specifically something I could buy right now in that price range.

Mario Kart - unwrap, turn on, pick any character, enjoy any championship/race.

Diddy Kong Racing - "start your adventure and enter portals and shit and play for hours collecting items before having any fun xDDDxDDDdXDDDD"

All of my memories of DKR are just flying around in a plane as Diddy in the hub world.

That's bad.

>>3996665
I think it's the colour palette and the draw distance. If you wanna play single player DKR is fucking great and challeging but in the 4 player deparment is a fucking mess.
You can't see as well as mario kart 64 with those strong yellows and pixelated horizons.
Also the items in mario kart are easier to use and more satisfying for betrayals and backstabbing friends.
The overall experiencie is much better on mario kart even if the single player doesn't have cool bosses or hard collecting coins.

We would drown on /vg/. Waste your time petitioning hiroshimoot to make /vg2/ instead or to increase the page count.

I do and I experience mild eye strain from it but I have a big head and I don't think the pupillary distance adjusts wide enough on a lot of this stuff so my eyes are always slightly crossed to focus. I have to modify the 3D headsets you stick your phone in or else they do the same thing to me.

>>3996614
What games do you have for it?

>>3996575
there's like two good games for it

jack bros and wario land

>>3996478
It's a pretty important game historically but I doubt you gain anything by playing the original BBC version and I'm sure it's a pain to make run. The first version I played was Elite Plus for DOS and it's a good version that should be simple to run and you can change graphic modes to experience different aesthetics. The NES version is pretty amazing for that console and AFAIK is pretty similar to the original.

>>3996831
it really wasn't hard to run, the emulator and the game came together in a neat little .zip

I'll look into later version though, thanks. And do you know if it was supposed to be ridiculous hard, or am I doing something wrong?

>>3996838
It's just kind of complex did you read the manual? It definitely requires both tactical and arcade-style skill.

How the fuck can a game mechanic like wall jumping be comfy?

What the fuck are you turning this word into?

I was totally fine when people referred to overall art-styles as comfy. That's a great use of the word. Another good use is when you're describing general slow-paced game mechanic as comfy, like gardening or farming.

But how the fuck can wall jumping be considered comfy? Never have I played something like Ninja Gaiden and thought to my fucking self: Gosh, this sure is cozy here.

The overwhelming majority opinion is that BK was better and BT had too much backtracking.

I personally disagree and loved exploring new areas of worlds in tooie (especially when connected to other worlds), but the majority/meme opinion is that BK is perfect and that BT/DK64 are bad

>>3996224
I have never heard someone say that Tooie is "bad" only that the levels are too big and the back tracking was a little excessive but I'm with you, man. I thoroughly enjoyed both games as well as DK64.

There is roughly the same amount of content in the two games, but because of needlessly, overly-spacious world design and backtracking, a BT playthrough will take twice as long.

Come again?

Not the quality thread we deserve, but the one we're stuck with.

There have been a lot of weird threads on /vr/ lately.

No, it's a video game.
