What's the cheapest handheld for running retro games/emulators?
>>3829850
Get someone's old android phone for cheap/nothing, and a bluetooth controller.
>>3829850
Get a PSP at a second had store and you will be all set.

I'm trying to run this game on my dedicated legacy machine (p3 800/128mb ram/gf256/vortex2 running on win98 se), and for some reason game
1. Run too fucking fast.
2. There is no music, only sound effects.
3. It can't read data from DAEMON Tools virtual drive with game cd image, but it runs ok with actual disc in physical drive.
So, how do I make things work?
The cover illustration for this game always seemed like a hockey player with the Stanley Cup to me and I'm not even a hockey fan.

I'm not sure how you can make it work correctly on older hardware but the other obvious alternative is using Dosbox, in any case try to find out what the sound settings are so you can adjust that, There's no way that I know off to make the game run at a more normal rate. Some virtual drives don't want to mount discs for some reason.

it looks like he's thinking something like "This is it?"

hahahaha okay yeah i laughed
Hey /vr/, I'm playing through Wizardry Llylgamyn saga and am currently on the second scenario, Knight of Diamonds. I was hoping someone with knowledge of the series could direct me to some resources (maps, item locations, etc.) online for the SNES version. I've been looking a while now and have only found guides for the Playstation, NES, and PC versions. I compared maps and it seems they altered the maze and some of the puzzles for each iteration. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
There aren't any puzzles and the maps are the same as the NES version.

>>3826981
I must've not done a good enough job comparing the two, thanks a shit load Anon!
What do you need maps or guides for?
Apart from the usual suspects (silent hill, res evil and its clones, sweet home, clock tower, eternal darkness), what are the must play horror/survival horror games? contrary to the masses, there is something about old school graphics that scares me more than realistic ones - so newer games get less and less effective on me while old ones still creep me out. But all the lists are filled with the usual things everyone and their mother already played - can you surprise me with something else?
>>3826871
Kings Field and Shadow Tower while not necessarily Horror can be pretty scary at times.
I wouldn't really say Parasite Eve is horror, but there is a lot of body horror stuff in it.
Same kind of thing with like Galerians, and Koudelka. They aren't super horror focused but there are elements.
Martian Gothic Unification is probbaly a horror game too.
Then theres Echo night, and Echo Night Beyond. I actually liked Beyond a lot, even though a lot of its themes and such would be considered fairly mainstream now.

Martian Gothic is good horror, but hard as fuck due to all the inventory juggling you have to do
PC
>Sanitarium
A psychological horror point-and-click, you play as an amnesiac man who wakes up in a sanitarium, and he has to piece together his memories through the various portals to otherwordly locations scattered around the sanitarium
PS1
>Juggernaut
A first-person adventure/horror game that's sort of like a collection of small stories. You have to enter your girlfriend's mind to save her from a demon that has possessed her
Interactive Fiction:
>Shade

You're ready for your trip to the arts festival, but at first you have to make sure you've got everything packed
New PC games, so no retro at all, but aiming for those retro aesthetics:
>ANATOMY
You explore an abandoned house to find tapes, with each tape comparing the rooms of the house to parts of human anatomy
>All of Our Friends are Dead
A run-and-gun surreal platformer set in a distorted world populated by twisted monstrosities
Which of the later games in the series are worth playing? I'm in the mood to see if any of this shit is actually enjoyable.
I always kinda assumed the only worthwhile Megaman games were MM 1-6 and X1-X3.
I know some of the X games continue into PS2 [NOT RETRO] territory but if any of those are your favorite, sound off.
>>3826863
If you have a DS and like metroidvania style games then Megaman ZX and ZX Advent are good.
>>3826872
Those are completely different subjects
This vs. the NES originals. Which do you prefer?
NES. This version is nasty.
>>3826157
I like the backgrounds and the fact that Mega Man has more ground traction in MM2, but that's it.
Retroarch is so complicated to set emulators up for. I can't seem to find a way to get amiga to work. I've tried the adfs, the hdfs, the config files and whdloader but can't make any ground. I always seem to end up at the p-uae main screen without the use of a mouse or anything. I see people have it working on android and the pi through kodi and other ways but on a computer i've yet to see it working or anyone saying they got it working.
TLDR: how to get amiga to work in retroarch?
also you should all try moonstone with some friends if you haven't already.
>>3825241
Just use the actual Amiga emu instead of bullshittery around middleman software you don't even need
Bump for Moonstone - although there's nothing really wrong with the DOS version other than inferior music
Master of Orion I & II
Alpha Centauri
Starflight
Dune II
Other great sci-fi/space games recommended.
x-com
star command: revolution
star control 2
Alpha Centauri is the best game ever made.
Also play the X series. Only the first one is /vr/ but they're all worth playing except Rebirth. Other older space games worth playing are the Freespace and Wing Commander/Privateer series.

Who's your favorite dev at Treasure, /vr/?
Mine is Koichi Kimura.

Yaiman, I think.
Game Boy games with HORRIBLE control.
but i like this game.
super mario land
>>3825159
honestly, this
and I absolutely love Super Mario Land
It just handles really badly. I'm fine with it being different to the rest of the Mario games, but it's just super awkward.
also, games that make you fall at max speed when walking off a platform are the worst, who ever thought this was a good idea should be shot
the worst controlling game I've played on the machine is probably the bootleg Sonic Adventure 7
which has fun shit like
>you can't hit enemies while moving upwards
>you can't hit enemies while rolling
>you move really slowly
>your jump arc is retarded
>there's a few spots where you have to jump on an enemy's head just to advance, but the previous list of problems make it awful
Mortal Kombat
ITT post your comfiest retro game
All retro is comfy. Get up, shower, have breakfast, get comfortable, work on part you've been stuck at, get past it, explore the game deeper. That's why I play retro games. There's a sense of the unknown.
A few weeks ago there was a thread about mermaids and there was some concept art of Leefa from Blazing Star, but 4chan kinda crapped the bed and couldn't save the pic, does anyone have it around?
Also Blazing Star thread I guess.
This one?
>>3821831
Yes! Thank you, kind Anon.
(lol captcha "Steel Princess")
I just got an indicator telling me PERFECT LAP. After playing this game religiously, I've never seen that pop up before. Obviously, i beat my old time with that perfect lap, but I think that I may have not hit any walls either. What does PERFECT LAP mean?
>>3821032
in the thumbnail i thought it said best fucking game of E3
It means you completed a lap without hitting a wall.
So, I just replayed Grim Fandango (solid game by the way) and I just came to this realization about the sproutella gun after seventeen years.
When shot by a sproutella gun, your body is flooded with seeds and chemicals that make you erupt into flowers, destroying you in the process. The reason that this unusual method of "killing" was chosen is because bonemeal is a very potent fertilizer.
Genuine oldfaggery detected; Abandon post!
I never understood the sproutella gun but I guess that makes sense. I thought the game actually kinda sucked when I replayed it because all the puzzles are spelled out for you or end up being trial and error. The art and writing are mostly good though, and definitely hold up against the garbage telltail puts out.
