Add ons.

Supporting carts with additional hardware.

Everthing I said is just a guess btw.

>>3234078
Because they're regulated, and most 5V regulators need >5V to work.

>>3234078
Could you run any console off batteries if all you need is ~5V?

>>3233453
No
The Legend of Kage came out a year earlier(ignore the 1984 title in the video that's the year it was in development)

You didn't have to go left first. You go right first to learn that you have to go left.

lol no seriously though it was a real creative way to immediately make the non-linear mechanics clear.

>>3233439
Except games developed in PAL regeions were better looking and in higher resolution than NTSC games, you silly yank.

>>3233478

But I'm a birtbong, which is why I'm asking what did we do to deserve such torture.

I'm not talking about games developed in Europe (who the fuck cares?), I'm talking about all the games that are relevant on /vr/, the japanese games.

>>3233492
What about all those amazing Amigar games that we created like this belt scroller?

Grab any shareware CD from the 90s, extract any random game and you'll not only find some cute jokey readme from the programmers you'll likely see some additional cute shit that's been patched in automatically by some BBS along the way. Everybody was joking around with everybody else. Things were a lot simpler back then.

>>3233257
not sure I get it desu, I kind of get the joke is about how you could just put more files on there, but is it something about floppies? Maybe all floppy format sizes are multiples of 360kb, so there's no reason they couldn't divide more of them across fewer, larger disks unless they just wanted to use more disks for some reason? I guess that's the other thing, did distributors purposely move games across more disks than was needed, and if so, why would they do so? It seems like you could use the "more disks=more shipping cost" argument to unfairly jack up your price, but ultimately I feel like that wouldn't work since other distributors would just move it on less disks at lower price.

Sorry to turn a dev humor thread into a big deconstruction of humor, I guess I'm just missing a crucial point of context to understanding the joke here.

360. If you even have to ask then you don't deserve the original.

N64. If you have to ask you're as retarded as the poster above me

Good thread.

not retro

> Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier

I think it was such a cop-out that Q3 didn't have a proper single player game.

I liked the belt scroller moments a lot.

Best game on the Genesis 2_b_h family

>>3232526
>I liked the beat 'em up moments a lot.
Fixed that for you.

>>3232443
Only played PC version.
Lvls always feel longish.
Backtracking for feathers, talismans and primagen keys is not too annoying.
Interesting enemy design, wish there were more dinosaurs to shoot at tho.
Lair of the Blind Ones is pretty hard on key placement, very frustrating if you dont know where to go.
I actually never finished the game, always got bored around Mantids Hive.
Nice assortment of weapons.
Razor Wind is coolest, wish it was available earlier.
Warblade is fine, but I think that having knife from Dinosaur Hunter as basic melee would be better than Talon design wise.
When scooped, shot doesnt hit when crosshair is, it always lands a bit to the upper left, kinda annoying.
All in all, I like it.
Might be very first FPS I played.

I dunno man, how about you think by yourself and see if its good for you or not

>>3232443
Was a bit too long for my tastes. I did manage to beat it, but got bored more than once, some of the levels didn't feel that great and there was too much backtracking for certain items. The biggest problem I think was that sometimes you just didn't have a clue about what to do next to progress.

It's about equivalent to real Arcade Paperboy. Maybe slightly better so about the same as "Gauntlet 4" on Genesis. If you like arcade games best it's no surprise you might draw that conclusion.

it's a bad ass game. my sister rented it and the first one countless times growing up on the sega genesis. i kinda always wanted an endless neighborhood mode or something for it to go off ramps and hit people with newspapers.

>my sister rented it and the first one countless times growing up on the sega genesis
The Genesis versions rules. The NES and Super NES versions are good, but damn, the Genesis version kills it. Funny how no-one ever mentions the Genesis games that were superior to their SNES counterparts, like Paperboy 2.

>i kinda always wanted an endless neighborhood mode or something for it to go off ramps and hit people with newspapers
Someone should make a hack of that. I would play it.

Think that's an oscillator. Probably just glue or something.

Is this the new tech thread? I have a question too. I recently hooked up a 32x which hasn't been used in well over a decade and it turns on and runs games but the color is off (everything has a blue tint) and the video seems blurry as well as the sound being muffled. There is also a high pitched squeal coming from the unit itself which leads me to thing that it may be failed or failing capacitors.

Additionally I am using the aftermarket crossover cable which is supposed to provide power to the 32x but I have to use the ac adapter to get it to work. I am running this on a model 1 Genesis with a model 2 Sega CD attached and am getting my audio out of the Genesis headphone jack. Everything works perfectly without the 32x.

So should I go ahead and order some caps for it or is there anything else I should check first?

>>3231778
Why not open it up and check if they're leaking?>>3231731
If it's a cap it just needs replacing, very easy to do. If it's an crystal like the other guy said it shouldn't be a problem to replace either. Look for the service manual online and find the part of there is no writing on the cylinder

>>3231729
If I had to guess, it's because SNES games are not made to plug into n64 stuff, you probably shorted out both the console and game. What were you thinking?

>I stuck a cartridge of Super Mario World into the top of the Game Shark while it was in my Nintendo 64, and turned on the power to my N64.

Why the fuck would anyone do that?

>>3231765
>If I had to guess, it's because SNES games are not made to plug into n64 stuff, you probably shorted out both the console and game
But why would that short-out the console and game cartridge? I don't get how connecting the wrong software-to-hardware would fry them both? And why didn't it kill the Game Shark, as well?

>>3231768

I wasn't even 10-years-old, yet. I was a curious child.

Oh my god

what's the reality lol

Use Doctor on yourself. I want remember if there are hospitals in game. Also I think carrying weight might slow you down being over-encumbered.

>>3231524
man what a shit and uninteresting build

>>3231508
Does it have the ram cart (xpansion pak) installed? I think its needed for conkers

>>3231537
Conker doesn't at all support the Expansion Pak

>>3231537
Yup, as I said in the original post changing the expansion pak to the jumper pak or vice-versa made no effect.

But both Conker's and Zelda don't need the expansion pak.

Both are good but I find the SNES version to have slightly better controls and this time there's not a big difference like on EWJ1, it's pretty solid on SNES as well.

In terms of graphics and sound, the Saturn version is the best, but the controls aren't as tight.

It's all opinions. I tend to think the SNES version is best but interestingly enough there is something unique to every version. I tend to love eye candy so I'll be intricate.

EWJ2 on the MD visually is a lot closer to the MD version of the first game. The backgrounds are one layer and one layer only. They often follow you anytime you go anywhere. In the SNES version of both games, this changes.
In this version, Jim's A Blind Cave Salamander has a wiggle effect applied to the stage.
Tangerines background is a red sky. You can see the sun and another planet in front of it shrouded in mist.
See Jim Run in this version has these electric orb type things in the background and the stage is blue chrome.
The checkpoint animation in this version of the game spells out CONTINUE with a bouncing eyeball, a barber pole, and some other strange avant-garde looking things.


EWJ2 on the SNES features more color, sometimes completely different backgrounds, and is way more detailed. You can get the feel that they wanted to create a moving painting easier with this version. It has the better sound over the first SNES game but compared to the MD ver, is at a smaller resolution.
When you start this version you'll notice immediately that Tangerines has been visually overhauled. Seeing that this is Bob The Killer Goldfish's vacation away with his home planet it's luxurious. Take notice at the waterfall in the background. It's beautiful. The stage is now more aquatic and has a blue tint.
See Jim Run is a green different kind of material in this version but still features the same electric orbs.
Udderly Abducted has a mist in front of the tower in the background. The MD bg is just the tower.
The checkpoint animation in this version of the game spells out CONTINUE with a with sparking yellow neon signpost.

?

this is the store where you can get the boards in case anyone is interested

https://mortoffgames.com/index.php?search[keywords]=Creation&_a=category

Now i need to either find a cheap sub $50 EPROM programmer that lets me burn pic related, or find a guy who sells already burnt Snes EPROMs so i can just mount them on the boards.

If you really want to become a repro/multicart seller, be careful, you can end up becoming a living meme.
