>cleaning yellow NES with some peroxide

Does this help fade away the yellowing or what?

Scars are badges of honor.

It's what retrobrite is made from but I used the generic salon 40. It works with the plastic but now I have a rubbed away decal even though they told me it would be fine

Krikzz shills and general elitists. Just don't ever try to update its firmware, not that there's currently any reason to or likely ever will be.

I had a Chinese Everdrive MD that bricked itself pretty early on, never heard any issues about the Super Everdrive though.

>thinks consoles are pointless,
> The plan is to set up a .zip file with a portable dosbox installation and a bunch of games within, with shortcuts in the main folder, then tell him "extract this to C:\Games, then move the shortcuts to wherever you keep your game shortcuts."

Hang about, he's a 'PC MASTER RACE' goon and he can't use the command line? No, you give him the games and tell him to figure out the DOS command line like a real PC user would. If he can't figure that how to change directories and run games from their dirs then tell him maybe he should consider something more simple. Like a CONSOLE.

>because he didn't like the interface
He is already spoiled by modern games. Don't bother, he doesn't really care.
He will just spout "oh those graphics look like shit, all these games must be total shit back then. So good the games are better now."

>>3286828
Or instead of wasting your time typing shit into dosbox like a fucking inefficient moron, just drag the game exes into the dosbox exe

Here's a video that explains how graphics were done in the 8-bit era.

that does not answer the question OP asked

For things very game specific (like levels or some custom formats) one of the coders used to program tool software. Tools from previous projects could sometimes be used (if the expected output was more or less similar)

What? He's the most fun boss to fight. Nothing like that huge pain-in-the-ass Moldorm.

Nah, maybe if you emulate and can't pull of a quick volley 100% of the time

It's Robo-Manus for me; it's fun, but I tend to freak out when he starts speeding up his pattern

Metroid II
Survival Kids
Fish Dude
Gargoyle's Quest
Fire pro Wrestling 2
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga
Final Fantasy VI
Shantae
Mario Land 1-3

>>3280776
In no particular order:

Zelda: Link's Awakening
Metroid: Zero Mission
Wario Ware: Twisted
Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Game Boy Camera (not really a game, but hours of fun)
Pokemon FR/LG
Zelda: Minish Cap
Super Mario Land
Golden Sun/Dark Dawn (really just one game split in two).

Also, if you enjoy Link's Awakening, play Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. They're cut from the same cloth, essentially.

>>3280786
>Survival Kids
Why is it that whenever I'm reminded of a game I was interested in as a kid but never got, it always ends up being horrendously overpriced? Thank god for emulation.

Rtfm, famicom.

1. You are supposed to be horrible at this when you start playing it. (git gud)

2. One sitting is a single route with 5 levels. That should take no more than an hour at worst.

3. You could savescum if you emulate.

4. Casual, millenial or whatever is the FOTM insult here on /vr/

5. [Spoiler]Have fun, anon. You will see progress in a few tries and it is truly a great game.[/Spoiler]

You disgust me.

>>3289018
it was the first time in my life at the age of 9 I could go outside without the fear of being beat up by spics. had lots of adventures with friends. forgive me senpai.

the change from miami to broward county at that time was night and day. I bet broward is full of spics now though.

It was underrated on release, nowadays I guess we could say it's rated fairly.

This "I picked up the newest james and mike monday game at a flea market" meme is stupid but makes me laugh every time, as does the >>3288856
Belt scroller meme.

I've been in the VB scene since 08 and I tried for years to fix my displays using the oven trick, but it never worked fully. So about a year ago I had RunnerPack do a permanent fix on my VB's displays, they've been working perfectly ever since.

I strongly recommend everyone do the same. He only charged $20, and it really is permanent.

>>3288773
OP here, I'm actually about to do the oven trick. If I don't give it a shot I may try this fix you speak of. How do I go about doing it?

>>3288781
It's slightly complicated, but there are a few pages dedicated to showing you how to do it.

That said, when I sent my displays in he told me that "baked" displays tend to be more difficult to fix. You're better off not trying the oven trick and just getting them soldered ASAP. (You can solder them yourself too, there are guides for it, but only attempt if you know what you're doing. Working VBs aren't exactly going down in value.)
