I recently spent 16 hours in airports and realized it was time to really think about handheld emulation.

Suggestions on something that will smoothly run NES, SNES, GB kind of stuff? Good battery life, headphones, etc and isn't brick huge?

Softmod a new 3ds and you're set. SNES or older is great, and GBA and GBC emulation is flawless, because the 3ds has actual GBA hardware buried inside it
>>
>>3220364
Not much. At that size you have the dingoos and play. None of which run SNES smoothly in many cases. You either deal with that or get something bigger.

I got the jxd s5800 as was suggested here. So far I've tested the emulators for the systems you mentioned as well as PS1 and NDS, and they all run well. Battery lasts around 8 hours for me.

I don't want to get too specific about this, but there's a certain Pre-1983 IP of which the company who made it has since gone bankrupt, and I tried calling all the people who could possibly own this, and either they weren't able to either me towards legal, or said that they didn't own it. I doubt this will work, but anyone know how i can do what id did with Wolfenstein back in 1992 and get the rights to release a sequel today?

>>3220302
Try to meet the guys who made the game themselves, and ask them. I think that's what id did.

Or you can change the name. Wolfenstein 3D is not the same as Castle Wolfenstein, is it?
>>
I think you need to get the advice of a lawyer who knows his way around intellectual rights and licensing.
>>
>>3220302
You find who has the rights and make a deal with them. There is no other way. You can you always just do it and hope no one who has the rights notices but that's risky.

that was actually the one that made me come here to ask for more sources.

>>3220308
damn... I'm having a Stendhal syndrome moment right now. This is awesome. Thanks a ton, anon.

How the fuck do I get good at this? I grew up with consoles so I never played this or other RTSes growing up, but when my friends from college come through they always want to play this or Civ2. I've been able to get decent-ish at Civ2 (my asshole is still wide-open for anyone who does an early game rush), but I'm just helpless in AoEII.

I know it's hard to tell me what I'm doing wrong when you can't see how I play the game but what are some general strategies to use so that I'm not halfway to the castle age when all of a sudden I'm getting my shit pushed in by my friends who have amassed huge Tier IV armies?

For reference, I was able to beat the computer 1v1 on Easiest no sweat. Didn't lose a single unit, was able to rush their base with six scout cavalries and clear out their villagers before they could make much of a defense.

On Normal, the computer flooded me with Scorpions as I was halfway through researching the castle age. I try to have about 15 villagers per age. Should I have more than that?

Fuck, is this one of those things you can't talk about without people memeing? I used to lurk /vr/ back when it first opened but I haven't been around here in a few years.
>>
>>3220150
Do they always rush?
>>
>>3220175
They'll send around a six unit rush ASAP to disrupt your economy. They're a lot faster about getting their economy up so I'm always struggling to make military units by the time they show up.

It's not an earnest rush, but it is a pain to have to make everyone stop working and ring the bell because I haven't been keeping up with military expansion.

Why dont you like them anymore?

>>3219526
The story is what kills me.
Its pretty much obvious that they are making shit up as the game progresses to keep the player engaged and rack up +40h which is fine and all but it doesn't cut it for me anymore.
Ive played and finished FF1,FF3 and FF4 I think Im done with this franchise.

Was Parasite Eve the original Final Fantasy 7? I know storywise it is a loose sequel to the book of the same name but virtually everything else reminds me of what Hironobu Sakaguchi wanted FF7 to be in his original drafts. The whole New York motif and the detective job it's all there. Even the characters from PE resemble characters from FF7 (Aya=Cloud, Daniel=Barret, Eve=Jenova, Klamp=Hojo). It just seems like too close of a connection to be coincidental. Is Parasite Eve the very game that shows us what FF7 could've been it seems too big to just have taken small influences from Sakaguchi's old ideas.

No. The development for FF7 is widely documented and what you've presented is totally false conjecture.
>>
>>3219461
According to Tetsuya Nomura, the series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi originally "wanted to do a detective story" with the first part involving a "hot-blooded" character named "Detective Joe", in pursuit of characters after they had blown up the city of Midgar. Many staff members chose instead to work on Chrono Trigger, and development was halted. - Final Fantasy Wikia

There was a character who was supposed to be a detective named Joe. While Joe as a character personality/desgn wise was never finalized his role was given to Aya. The city blown up could have been what the opera scene is now since it is what began Aya's search for Eve.
>>
>>3219484
Yeah, I think I've read about this in the FF Ultimania guide. Sounds plausible, too, seing as devs reuse assets and ideas all the time.

Is there an SD card reader for the PSX or PS2? I know there's one for the Saturn and Dreamcast.
15 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>3219409
There is for both of them.
PS2 is not related to this board.
>>
>>3219415
Is the PSIO the only one?
>>
>>3219409
"SD card reader" is misleading. There is a specific device for Dreamcast called SD card reader and they're not really for loading games.

GDEMU for Dreamcast and Rhea/Phoebe for Saturn are ODEs that happen to use SD cards for storage. There's also USB-GDROM which is also an ODE but uses USB devices.

If you want an ODE for PlayStation, then the only one atm is PSIO. Most people don't mind installing a modchip and burning games.

For PS2, you can get FMBC and load games over an internal hard drive or through a network with OPL. There's also USB loading, but it's shitty.
