I know that's not /r/ but honestly I doubt I will get a better anwser anywhere

Where can I get SNES/NES/GENESIS etc whatever retro vida music collections torrents? Where do you get them? Like, yeah, I can find individual ost really easy, but I'm really interested in EVERYTHING. Like, for example I want every soundtrack for every snes game. Of course I'm not talking about literally every game because I doubt somebody has enough autism for that. Just most of them
I tried to find it, I found like one torrent but the problem is it's spc files which I don't really like. I prefer mp3
I just don't like having only a few soundtracks. I want all of them, so I don't have to download them all the time.
If you know where to find torrents like this, or how can you rip all the music from some sites ten please help. I'm really starving for some music

What would be the best way to emulate Symphony of the Night? To be the closest to the original game as possible? I'm using ePSXe 1.9.0

I don't think I've touched the game since it came out on the original Playstation, so I'm aiming for the most genuine experience possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Castlevania thread too, I guess

I'm getting lots of slow down in ALL of the games I try to play on my old PS1. I'm also getting bad stuttering. It is the the original big grey one that I've had since I was a child. I had just recently pulled it out of storage.

Is there anything that needs to be done as maintenance for old ps1s that will fix this such as replacing capacitors?

I used to watch the entire credits roll for any/all games in fear that if I turned it off then it wouldn't save my game.

All right gentlemen, it's time for another one of these. Today we are going to be looking at the fastest game alive, Sonic 3. So set your autism dials to "turbo" and without further ado let's discuss this fucking image.

What I like about the top path is that it's more or less hidden, yet observant players are sure to catch a glimpse of it sooner or later. If players hold right as soon as the level begins, they won't be able to land on the upper route but they will get close enough to it to see that it is there. If a player doesn't happen to hold right their first time falling into HCZ, and doesn't discover the upper path, at the very least they will likely find that taking the lower route is, in fact, the quickest way to get started with progressing through the level. That means that on subsequent playthroughs there is a chance they will automatically hold right in an effort to reach the lower path. And that's when they would stumble upon a clue -- the sight of the upper route -- that suggests there's more to this starting area than they might have previously suspected. In short, all of it is fucking genius; it's brilliant; it's awesome; it's literally a work of art, level design-art. And that's really the essence of what defines video game art, isn't it? The true artistic merit of all video games lies not in their aesthetics -- materials on the surface like graphics, characters, or sound -- but in their fundamental game design. The behind-the-scenes aspects that all work and come together to create a system facilitating actual gameplay itself. That's something no other art form can emulate; that's what makes video game art work unique. And I feel that the top route in the beginning of HCZ1 captures that sentiment, and exemplifies it, to a tee.

Oh, and just to be on the safe side:

Is this considered Retro?
What if something is proto-modern?

This thing was going to be some ridiculous multimedia gaming console and tried too much way too soon, without the proper tools and proper developers behind it.

I was almost afraid to post about it because I'm sure some E-Celeb will make a video on it now.

I've been thinking about it, and I don't really think that RPG is a proper moniker for games where there is adventuring and stat-building, but no real decision-making or role-playing on the part of the player. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just hard for me to call that an RPG when there's not much RP. I mean yeah, you can say that you "play a role" as is the popular wise-ass answer, but that applies to almost any game.

Personally, I think a better term for these kinds of games would be Narrative-Driven Games, since most of them seem to put great purpose into progressing a set storyline in which the game's characters participate. This is opposed to a role-playing game, which to me is defined by having an active role in shaping your character, both how they act and what they do, and making it your own story. The only problem with calling something a Narrative-Driven Game is that it would be too loose of a definition. Plenty of games across different genres are driven by their story. Thus, I would think that it needs to be refined before it is truly useful to us. That's why I would add the phrase "Character-Building" to the title. It properly expresses how the game will focus on telling a story, but will also involve building characters as part of the gameplay. Of course there will be different levels of character-building to each game, as the interpretation of how much or how little freedom a player should have is ultimately dependent on the designer. Nevertheless, I think that this would accurately define a sizeable subset of games which are popularly referred to as RPGs, but which lack the trappings of a traditional role-playing experience (despite the presence of character building). I feel that Narrative-Driven Character-Building Game is a much more accurate genre title to describe these kinds of games. What say you, /vr/?

I'm playing Tetris Plus on playstation. The puzzle mode is really fun, and they track your continues in a creative way.

Not to mention, the gold embossed logo looks dope.

Hey, /vr/. I'm looking for darker, atmospheric mystery adventure games. Like the Gabriel Knight games, but I've already played all of them. Of particular interest would be anything noir or hardboiled in tone/themes. Help me out?

Thanks in advance for anything you can recommend.
