PC games have always looked better than console games.

I guess the late 90's or early 00's

PC games have always "looked better".


If you mean surpassed consoles completely then in the 2000s with 6th generation. Prior consoles had an edge in some form or another. Scrolling, launch hardware capability to present PC hardware, etc.

Was Sega just a one-hit-wonder? They couldn't seem to be able to capitalize on the Genesis success.

Ya that whole like nearly 80 years of making arcade games. Ya you modern gamer kids wouldn't know about that. To be fair I thought they only went back to the 80s maybe late 70s until I learned about their origins in the 2000s.

They made a lot of great games, the console market is tough to crack though.

What are some fun shmups with point-blank mechanics? Weapon number 2 from Axelay and the laser from Donpachi is what I'm looking for. Gradius when firing up close with options also applies.

I previously tried buying some replacement rubber bits for my SNES controller, but they were worse than the original ones.
Any recommendations for the best way to refurbish a SNES controller?

Are your pads worn or is the silicone torn?
A decent temporary fix is rubbing graphite on the pads...but I'm guessing you want them 100%?
You could try finding a controller with good buttons in bad shape or otherwise broken, salvaging the parts you need.
I'm sort of in the same boat on a dreamcast controller...

Dunno about SNES controllers, but you can fix a NES controller by salvaging an N64 controller.

There are some Sega Saturn, PS1, and GameCube games I want to get re-surfaced since they won't play anymore (or certain parts won't play).

Do you guys have any good recommendations for where I can do this?

Alternatively, grab the official PSN releases if possible, they come with tye manual and wll.

Yeah, the VMU is a great item. It was one of the best ideas for the Dreamcast. They should have been a little more powerful, though.

I thought it was great. I don't think it was really used to it's fullest but I suppose that's better than forcing it's gimmick on developers.

I've been using the Unsaturated-V5 from http://www.firebrandx.com/nespalette.html lately in NES emulators, seems to very accurate to the real NES colors.

What palettes do NES emulator and NESRGB users on /vr/ prefer?

There's no perfect palette. Here are my two favorites:

>Sony CXA2025AS (Consumer).

This one is derived from an actual NTSC decoder from Sony televisions. This is probably the most accurate, in that it's what a lot of people in 80's Japan would have used or seen.

>Rock Man 9

Palette from RM9. As close to an official palette by Capcom as you can get. In practice, it's very similar to the Consumer palette.

A good game to test palettes on is Castlevania 1 level 2. The room is often garish purple bricks in most palettes. But Consumer renders them as red. The devs used a TV to test that gave red bricks.
