What are some AESTHETIC retro games?
This game is the literal definition of aesthetic.

It doesn't get any more aesthetic than this.
are these ports worth a damn?
it's a lot cheaper than getting the originals.
Loading Times.
>>3202232
They're great, almost no loading times.
Highly recommend.
>>3202232
If you're a purist you'd probably want to play the SNES releases - the loading times and FMVs on the PSX are brutal.
If you're not a purist you should probably be emulating anyways.
Whatcha playin' /vr/?

The other night I was playing R-Type on the original cabinet. I cleared stage 4 for the first time, and actually made it through those first 4 stages on one life. Then stage 5 came and annihilated my anus.

TwinBee
I still don't understand everything about the power up system
but if I ask some dickhead will call me a retard
Also Galaga, that is a great game, and Space Invaders
>>3201440
I don't remember exactly now but you want to keep shooting the bells until they get red, silver or multicolored.
One of these gives you a shield, another gives you a triple shot and another gives you a shadow powerup that multiplies your shots by 3 when you're moving.
You can't have both the triple shot and the shadow, once you get one of them, the other bell will stop coming.
If you keep shooting the bells they will eventually turn into a bee, don't shoot the be and grab it instead for a lot of points.
Is there a way out yet to possibly use plug-ins to make SNES emulators have better graphics or maybe HD roms that are out? I love my SNES games, but would like to see some round edges.
>>3201091
sure kiddo just turn on them beautiful "HD" filters in snes9x
>>3201120
I don't use that emulator.
I saw that the n64 emulators had an option for HD graphics plug-ins, so I tried them for OoT. I saw zero difference.
>>3201091
Play the games on real hardware and a CRT TV. They'll look 10x better than on emulators.

Sorry man, I got nut'n.
I'm doing a goddamn ghoul run on Shadowrun for the Genesis, and for some reason, the game isn't counting the ghouls I've killed.
I'm a hand to hand samurai, is there some bug with unarmed kills not counting or something? I can't find anything online that suggest the quest bugs. It's the one from Gunderson in the Redmond Barrens.
Shadowrun thread too if anyone is interested.
I have never had that issue. I always turn down those jobs if the pay is shit and keep asking till he offers more though.
>>3200657
Yeah, I've been doing that on jobs. I'm just at a point where I can bareknuckle box a few gargoyles and vamps, so I figure I could pull some more money by doing the ghoul runs.
I finally found on RPG Shrine that it's a bug, but it seems to happen to me everytime on my Samurai. I don't have the issue when I use magic on the Shammy.
>>3200387
>>3200663
After doing some testing, I believe it is a bug with killing ghouls using spurs. Kills with guns are counted, kills with hands / spurs are not.
Oh well, guess I'll start my sammy over.
Lo Wang, Caleb, or Dook?
Dook > Caleb > Lo Wang
The correct answer is Leonard & Bubba.
I choose Adam Randall

Remember when this kind of game was a thing? Gosh, seems so long ago.

I hope you're not still using these, /vr/.

There's nothing wrong with composite.

Has anyone here tried builidng their own cartridges?
>>3198120
Like...repros? Yes. Very simple. You just need to have some soldering skills.
>>3198120
yes
>>3198128
I've been thinking about getting into it, but don't know where to start.
Why is Mario so god tier? Also what is the best Mario game?
first one to say
>smb3 > smw

>>3197669
SMB1 and Lost Levels are better than both
smb3 > smw
Do it fucking frogposter. I ain't scared to die tonight
Can someone explain to me what this series all about ? I don't get anything past Soul Reaver 2 ? Who are the hyldens ? Why is everything about the reaver ? Why Vorador do fucking nothing ? Why Kain can revive without a heart ?
Should I do Blood omen to understand ?
Dude's a chinless vampire who likes to push blocks a lot. He's all angry at his dad because he got like wings first and he didn't and shit. Then they ran out of budget and couldn't finish the game the end.
>>3197112
Did you play the games starting with blood omen? If not, then you fucked up. If so, then you're just dense.

>Not acknowledging the greatest SNES game to ever be created.
Pic related.
>>3196493
Unnecessarily confusing phrasing, anon. But that pic is indeed related to not acknowledging the greatest one
>>3196496
Oh cool, what part of Terranigma is this from?
I thought it was already widely considered to be one of the best games on the SNES. Nobody suggested otherwise.
>>3196506
I think he was making a joke.
I've mostly played JRPGs my whole life but these days I don't have the time for them since they're so long, and I increasingly feel like I'm surrounded by kids in the fandom. Fighters seem to have a more diverse and lively community. I've always been drawn by the colorful characters and competitive aspect of fighting games but every time I've tried to get good at one I've become discouraged.
I'm asking here because /v/ is shit and I'm mostly interested in retro fighters.
So for fans, which fighting game was your gateway drug? What kind of experiences drew you into the scene? Anything helps, I'd love to hear stories as well.
>So for fans, which fighting game was your gateway drug?
Yie-Ar Kung Fu. Then Street Fighter II: The World Warrior sealed the deal.
>What kind of experiences drew you into the scene?
What scene? arcades? It was just normal to hang out there with friends and play vidya, fighters included.
The only tip is to keep playing until you become good.
Since you're only starting now, I guess you could read up some tips on shoryuken.com, learn things from youtube or whatever. It's better to figure things on your own and come up with your own strategies, but if you want to play against people who have been playing for decades you'll get your ass handed to you without a little help, it's less fun that way though.
Virtua Fighter 2 was my first, then Tekken 3, SF3 on the DC and on from there (not retro after that). Keep practicing and check out local tournaments or clubs, there's probably at least a few near you - always best to practice with real players. It's also a good way to see what's popular, what's still being played, how to improve, which characters and fighting styles are popular, etc.
>>3196323
As this guy said, look up a move list and some tips, play with all the characters in your chosen game, figure out which particular character you like best and then just practice with them. Practice, practice, practice.
And don't forget to block, blocking is seriously under used with newbies, most of them charge in on the offensive and then get blown out. I've seen it too often.
>>3196294
Start with Street Fighter II. Almost any version. Super Street Fighter II Turbo if I had to recommend one since it's the most played version of the original. Learn the basics there. Learn about hit levels and throw ranges and get blocking properly/successfully. Practice until you're decently familiar with how shit works then look for people to play with.
Move on to Ultra Street Fighter IV after that. Don't neglect Street Fighter Alpha 3 or Street Fighter III 3rd Strike either. And play Street Fighter V of course.
Previous thread: >>3182268
This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

kya i want to play games in your creepy wood paneled dungeon
>>3194475
I don't have a PVM so yeah. Thanks for the tip anyway.
No my main concern is getting Retroarch Wii to not fuck up with the core configs. I swear, Retroarch Wii is so shitty I should just use dedicated emulators instead. And yeah I'm running 480p so I'll give that a shot.
>>3194473
remove a few items and make it grainy and that looks period correct as a mofo. also grime as fuck, I like it.
