Looking to play Epica Stella/Vanguard Bandits with the English script and the JP audio, just to mix things up. Has anyone seen or heard of a pre undubbed iso? I don't want to put in the effort to replace the audio like an amateur if I don't have to.

>pre undubbed iso
But there isn't any voice acting in the Japanese version, and only the final battle has voice acting in the English version.
>>3192564
This sounds like one of the dumbest things I've seen.
You should probably consider killing yaself.
Whats the best DC emulator? I tried chankast and dreaemu but only got nulldc working... Which one do you guys use?
Well, the first two you listed are old ass garbage.
Acceptable solutions are: reicast, NullDC, and DEmul.
>>3191769
thanks, deuml looks good.

Be sure to download version 0.7 alpha, NOT the one from the official site.
My dad will have his birthday soon, and I don't know what to buy him.
Recently he has been getting back into video games. Behind the office building he owns he built and turned a shack into a little arcade cave to play his favorite light gun games on MAME and PS2.
I was thinking of buying him something related to arcade emulation or light gun games. Like a controller or another piece of equipment. But he already has lots of stuff because he is a rich fuck. So I dunno.
Does /vr/ have any recommendations?
>>3191656
Buying something related to someones hobby is usually a mistake. If you're not into it as well and don;t know what he has/doesn't have/wants/doesn't want it's a guaranteed mistake.
Is he just into gun games or other things as well? What kind of setup does he have? Cab? RGB? Current guns?
I don't know man, you can never have too many extra controllers.
>>3192472
My wife disagrees. Not that it matters.

Great games
Fuck this gay board.
>Three Castlevania threads
>No Earthbound threads
Has Castlevania become the new Earthbound?
Say a stupid asshole was patient enough to stream jRPGs for someone not patient enough to play them, but also didn't want them to be insanely grindy (can give leeway with a fastforward option, either through emulation or in-game like Wizardry). Say they wanted to do it like a variety show with only about an hour-long burst for maybe 3 games at a time. Say anything up until about PS1 was fair game, what games would you recommend and what games would you avoid?
Figured Chrono Trigger and Live-A-Live would be alright, Earthbound and SMT are right out for taking fucking forever to get through. Thinking FEDA - Emblem of Justice might also be way too long and plodding, how about Robotrek?
How about Rent A Hero? I imagine the Phantasy Star series is far, far too grindy and long and slow, but still up for negotiation, and up for suggestions
Honestly if you look at a guide for CT, you can easily beat the game in about 15 hours.
>>3191053
Ah, misread your post.
Anyway I'd recommend Secret of Mana, it's not too long.
I'd recommend you take your underage ass back to somewhere else and try and be fucking creative you stupid mong.
It's all up to you to make a Genesis image OP

Some of those aren't obscure
ITT: unsettling games that aren't meant to be scary
Anyone else creeped out by this game as a child? I was horrified of Mr. Green's game over pose/face
>>3190171
Your mom was creeped out by my penis.
>>3190181
not retro
>>3190171
I legit got creeped out by this game. My friend rented it and I had nightmares about the scene where they show the killer off-screen murdering the guy. Particularly with the rope.. it was creepy for sure
What are some retro games that were ahead of their time graphically by using almost never seen before techniques?
Picture related was certainly interesting. Characters had bump maps, but it was all done in software.
Magic Carpet had wavy water, reflective water, and realtime terrain deformation. Somehow it even ran on the PS1.

Wasn't terrain made from voxels as well?
>>3190147
I wonder if Mechner ever is sad that the only game of his to be real popular was not THAT innovative - Prince of Persia - when his really innovative and mindlowing stuff - Karateka, Magic Carpet and Murder on the Orient Express - is almost forgotten?
What do you think of this revelation?
What is objectively the best D-pad style?
Cross (Nintendo Game and Watch)
Round (Mattel Intellivision)
Separated (Commodore CDTV)
Other (?)
With the separated style D-pad I never input diagonals accidently but when I do want them I have to press hard to get them.
Invented =/= innovated
I really wish underage& under obamacore wasn't so dumb.
Also Saturn.
>>3189778
Damnit, I wish I was able to buy a CDTV in the 90s, always wanted to grab one and I heard they were getting rid of the stock for 10-20 pounds a piece.
Now it costs 300 pounds for a complete unit.
As far as desktop CD players go, it was a damn sexy one.
Separated d-pads hurt my thumb and I hate it.
How does /vr/ feel about Yoshi's Story?
The start of the decline of Yoshi games
It was ok but nowhere near as good as Yoshi's Island. After that everything went tumbling down
>>3189745
Graphically one of my favorite games on N64
Gameplay-wise, a definite step down from Island. But still a little underrated
Great looking game.
Above average gameplay.
It's the current eceleb opinion to hate the game and claim it's shit.
>>3189541
I get it m8. Them crows lmao. XD
>>3189541
lololol
>>3189541
Nothing beats the original RE. I love the sequels and all but nothing beats the original mansion setting.
my name is cat
i rap real good
i'll take your points
and then your girlfriend
k
u rappin' awful
The name is Gato
Nigga you need Silver points
So beat me up senpai
Just got this game, about 45 minutes in by now.
God damn, could the cutscenes be any longer?
This being said, while not exactly what I'd call graphically impressive, and the N64 has seen better cameras, the combat system works pretty well thus far, and the game has the atmosphere down pat. The soundtrack's still a bit underwhelming, but OTOH, I only just started to fight enemies I couldn't take down with my defusor. I reckon it's still effectively the tutorial, we'll see what comes later.
Though I have no fucking idea what's going on. God damn, the late nineties and their conspiracy theories. X-Files, Perfect Dark (what, the president gets replaced here, too?), this...
Also props for treating the player to an under-the-shower ass shot of a muscular guy right in the opening cutscene. That must've done wonders for sales.
tl;dr: N64 RPGs. Ahaha
never heard
what's it like?
>>3189627
I heard it's like the N64's answer to MGS.
>>3189649
oh shit nigga this does look good
adding this to my backlog ty
So I've been going crazy trying to find out if this is real or if I'm going crazy. I remember having this plug n play console when I was a kid. It was based around lightguns, it had a red and blue one. I remember the gameplay being point blank esque, perhaps even being point blank branded. I also remember the console itself being small and rectangular. The guns plugged in with round plug ins, like ps/2 looking connectors I think. Hope someone knows what I'm talking about because I can't find anything.
Pic unrelated but is what got me on this kick
>>3189495
Might help to know when you were a kid. Justifiers come in red and blue...
>>3189592
I was born in 93 and I was quite young, was around the time psx and n64 were still going strong. Definitely wasn't lethal enforcers.
>>3189608
What country were you living in?
Do old Java/J2ME cell phone games count as retro? They really don't seem like a thing anymore now that almost everybody's got smartphones.
>>3189364
EDGE was also great game.
I think if i can dig up my old phone it should still be on it.
Bubble bobble port deserves mention.
Bumping out of interest
Kinda sad that a lot of those pre smart phone games are lost like tears in rain,
But then I remember how most of them were shit, only really remember playing saints row, was a pretty shitty GTA clone
>>3189390
The way I see it, both mobile games and plug-n-play TV games have yet to be properly archived for some reason. It's like nobody really cares about them enough to save them.
