Getting real tired of the cooling fan ruining my immersion in games like Tomb Raider and Shenmue.
I can't believe normies never complained about this going from their silent PSXs and N64s into the 6th gen consoles' typhoon of blowing noise.
.
I have read on another forum that the DC will shut off if the fan isn't drawing 5V or if it stops spinning.
But I also read someone on /vr/ unplugged their DC's cooling fan and the console still worked even months later.
If I do this should I replace the thermal paste on the stock heatsink with new cream?
Should I install a larger, aftermarket heatsink?
.
Also, what lubricant is best for reducing disc drive noise? Should I put the lube on the spindle shaft or the worm gear or both?
Leave the dreamcast without the top case and it might last ya
>>4199723
Fans get louder over time with use you moron.
op you need a headphone jack crt tv like my trinitron. git gud
Love the dreamcast, but the analog stick has always been awful. The tiniest bit of sweat makes my thumb fly off it.
Were there any worthwhile 3rd Party Dreamcast controllers with a rubber analog stick?
Not really. Madcatz made a controller with 6 face buttons that has a slightly better joystick, but it's still not great.
Pic related is the holy grail, but they're expensive as fuck.
>The tiniest bit of sweat makes my thumb fly off it.
Bullshit.
>>4199686
I have a kinda solution to this because I had a similar problem. I had to buy Chinese knockoff PS2 controllers because for some reason eBay keeps charging too much for them. So I got 2 knockoff ones for $6 for the pair. They work flawlessly but the analog stick heads are plastic.
Here's what I did:
I got athletic tape (because felted grippy surface on non sticky side) and put it on the top of the analog sticks. Now they are grippy, and my thumbs no longer slip. It looks low rent but whatever, it works.
Consider:
Graphics
Music
Story
Combat
Exploration
Comfyness
2nd for gameplay
1st for story. 2nd game ruined what story it had going.

I think the first game is better in every regard. I've played through the first several times and I've never gotten sick of it. I played through the second maybe twice and I was dying of boredom each time.
Shenmue ruined video games.
Why were there so many different revisions of the Genesis with varying audio/video quality? Were the good ones priced any different than the bad ones? I just booted up a Genesis my brother gifted me and it looks like shit; switching from RF to composite barely made a difference. Are there any cheap mods to improve video output on a bad model 2 (VA1.X) or am I better off getting an HD graphics model 1?
>>4199390
Get a 32X, it cleans up the video quality quite a bit.
And the SegaCD cleans up the sound.
Also, I got a set of HDRetrovision cables for my Model 1. They are fucking incredible. Absolutely kick-fucking-ass. No, they ain't cheap, not by a long shot, but I think they're really worth it.
This thread is about game studio rivalries. Light-hearted rivalries are perfectly acceptable.
Bonus points for antics/insults/jabs/jokes inserted into game art/content.
>NAMSHIT (pic)
Just noticed this graffiti from Bad Dudes. Did Data East have a rivalry with Namco?
Entertaining stories/anecdotes/rumors are welcome.
>namshit
Sounds like an insult a 4channer would make up.

Reflection and Rockstar
>>4199180
I think Duke Nukem poked fun at Doom a few times, but (AFAIK) there was never a serious rivalry between 3D Realms (Apogee) and Id.
No matter what version I find online, GOG, Old plus patch, bare ISO, nothing I find works
I always get the same error 0xc0000022
What do I do? Running this on windows 10 in compatibility mode for 7
PS Water Sorc, Air Thief and Life Warrior are the best non death races.
Death master race tho. Esp Balkoth and air alliance for air lord champ and dragons
Prepare your asshole for PCem or VMware. Start googling how to install Windows 98 on it now.
>>4199158
oisnt there any othe other way?
FFS I just want to be easily able to play windows
I have 1tb mem is that enough for a partition? Could I just do that?
>>4199171
Perhaps, but I've hit similar walls with 9x games and have found a PCem install to be useful now and then. Sucks, but I can't speak for your case desu. Sounds like if gog and patches didn't work it's probably fucked in Win 10 64 though.
Am i supposed to leave the mine without my wizard? Im almost at the pond in the forest with my team but im not sure if i should go back to get him or does he show up later?
>>4199153
Yes you, the healer, and the ninja are your party for a while.
Wizard turns up later.
Rather than trying (and failing with) that fish-eye shit, I think they should have done Sanic 4 as a "2.5D" style platformer, à la NiGHTS or Pandemonium.
How would such a game have been received if it had come out before Mario 64?
would have flopped, but not as hard as the fish-eye game would have
>>4199162
Why?
Sonic looks really good in that Saturn 3d style.
Why was Sonic a sphere some times?

That's just the way he rolls.
What is /vr/'s opinion on the very first stealth game, and retro stealth games in general?
Is that PC-6001 or Sharp MZ?
>>4199064
I thought 005 was the first stealth game ever.

Would you have played it?
What would you think if the west had prpduced more of their own Spnic games following the American storyline? What if we had a crazy Sonic action RPG Genesis trilogy for the Genesis? Would it have been remembered fondly? What would Sonic look like today?
>>4198674
It would have been remembered as fondly as Sonic Spinball.

There are about 10 in the catalog already, christ.
All I had growing up was Sango Fighter and Brutal Paws of Fury in a demo disc called TechCD3.
Are the full versions work it?
>>4198646
they work it, you should make it happen. just do it, don't make us do you homework.
>>4198646
Frankly, I always thought Sango Fighter was slow and clunky as shit. On my old DOS system, I would never choose it between games like Body Blows, MK3 and, most importantly, One Must Fall 2097.
