Do you limit yourself to a certain amount of credits when emulating arcade games?

Of course.
Save states are faster especially if remapped to F5/F7
>>
>>3903376
No, the point isn't to "beat" the game but to keep doing better and better and to use less credits the next times.
If you think the point is to beat the game, then how do you even decide how credits to use. It's completely arbritary, not to mention not every game has similar credit systems or difficulty.

I love the whole idea of RPG+beat 'em up fusion. I also loved the setting, and how you could interact wit objects/enemies.
That said, I wasn't exactly a big fan of the combat. It often felt a bit stiff or clunky, and the slowdown didn't help. Enemies often blocked all the time and there was little you could do; then again, some late-game techniques made the game a cakewalk. Overall, I don't think it favored skill very much.
So I prefer Renegade to it.

He had to get to the final boss machine somehow. Wouldn't be very cool if you just caught him after destroying the penultimate boss machine and the game ended.

We've talked about this already. He has has an Emerald battery in his butt that gives him short bursts of speed - such as between vehicles - but Sonic is still naturally faster.

They didn't need to have him run. He could've had one of those smaller egg machines each time to transport him forward. It would've been more believable that a machine with jet propulsion could outrace sonic.

So I've been thinking of buckling down and going through every single decent classic console RPG I never played or finished, particularly of the SNES and PS1 variety, a thing I've been meaning to do for quite some time. But I think one of the reasons I've been putting it off is.. I really want to like, share the experiences, have people to talk to about it as I go through, y'know? That's so much of what made growing up playing RPGs so much fun, both with geeky real-life friends who've long-since gone separate ways and the earlier days of the late-90s-early-00s internet that seems to have gone by the wayside.
Is there still anywhere where people'd give a shit about talking about that kind of thing? Any oldschool forums, or irc or even discord chats, or anything like that? Or maybe I should just make threads here about them as I go through them?

As long as your threads are accessible and not just "check out my screenshots and witty quips," I don't see a problem with making threads on here.
>>
Make threads here to discuss the game you're playing, but only if the topic is worth discussion and you can be patient with the super slow pace of the board.
If what you really want is good discussions, start by playing any of the RPGs you may have missed that already regularly have their own threads (DQ, FF, SMT, SaGa, etc.) Those threads tend to ha EA good discussion if you lurk enough to know what's shitposting
>>
I'd be into doing a group play-along for an RPG, sort of like what other boards do with books, albums, movies, etc. What games did you have in mind?

I know it isn't a Disney game per se, but it really bothers me that Capcom isn't releasing this classic like the rest. Granted, these Capcom collections are kinda memeware anyways, but still.

Cool, a nemo thread.
One of my favorite nes games and licensed games ever. Great game with good graphics, level design, and music. It was a little weird at first to me since you don't have a weapon until the last stage but you get over it. I think the feeling of "adventure" this game gives is brilliant , really feels like a magical land from all the stages. Quite tough too, house of toys still gets me even to this day.
Also I didn't know this until recently but capcom had an arcade nemo game as well. Doesn't look anywhere near as good as the nes one but still cool.

Okay well, I got a CIB copy of the SNES Sunset Riders at a local video game store for $36.99 and I'm actually pretty sure it's real. But the eBay prices for a CIB copy seem too astronomical to be accurate, so I was just wondering what it actually is worth. Either way, the purchase was worth it because it's my favorite arcade game and I never thought I'd own it, much less with the box and manual.

Because in the end it's just about console wars.
The two games are quite different and there's no reason to compare them other than being based on the same IP.
Taking each game on its own, I have to admit the SNES doesn't do its thing very well. As a point and click adventure the controls are terrible and the combat parts are lame.
The story isn't amazing and doesn't fit that tight into the SR universe.
The Genesis game might have profited from a six button pad and more diversity in the missions but it's fairly enjoyable nonetheless.
The Mega CD game obviously gets ignored by most people because it's Japanese only. The plot and characters are nice and it feels a little bit like a pen & paper campaign.
Drawbacks are the performance and limitations of the game system.

R-Type's pacing couldn't be any slower if it tried. Some of the games are pretty enjoyable, but they're a chore to sit through.

Yeah, I definitely prefer Gradius.

Dolby Surround in Retro Games

What retro games use Dolby Surround besides these? What do you guys think of matrix encoded surround sound?
There is Dolby Surround which is 3.0 (Left Right Back) and Dolby Surround Pro Logic which is 4.0 (Left Right Center Back). Dolby Pro Logic II was added later in the PS2 era which featured 5.1.
There is a lot of confusion and myths about retro gaming and surround sound since pro logic is an analogue technique and can basically make any stereo source sound 'surround'.
Confusing is for example the Japanese box art for Parasite Eve states Dolby Surround while the US cover misses the Dolby Logo. US covers of FFIX, FFVIII and Chrono Chross have the Dolby logo but the PAL versions are missing it. Can we be sure that all these versions feature Dolby Surround? Is there a way to determine true pro logic sources without a logo on the box art?
Also are games with the Dolby Surround logo 'Dolby Surround 3.0' or 'Dolby Surround Pro Logic 4.0' ? Because I have never seen a pro logic logo on any game, only pro logic II. But Surround 3.0 according wikipedia was used on video cassettes in the 80s and Pro Logic is a technology since 87. So isn't it more likely to be 4.0 pro logic surround? I sure hope so.
Other notable mentions are Ocarina of Time, Majoras Masks and Resident Evil 2(Dolby Surround is exclusive for this version) for the N64.

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask have it, though only Majora has the logo. It's probably a licensing issue which is why it isn't included in some games.
