The good.
The bad.
The Very, VERY bad.

Let's get an appreciation/hatred thread going for these miniature machines that we all love or love to hate. I'll start. Pictured is one of the better ones, it has 12 NAMCO games in it. Real microswitch inputs. Pole Position is controlled by twisting the stick left and right. Oh, and it has easter eggs!

What's your favorite?

got this one for Christmas one year, the emulation was great , the controls not so much. Except for pole position, the little yellow thing rotated to steer and it worked great. Still had a ton of fun with it as a kid though.

I fucking love that one. I just realized TODAY the one in my OP image can be literally turned backwards (So the joystick is right-handed) without affecting Pole Position at all.

>>3165457
The shape of that one bugs the hell outta me. But having Pac-Man 256 is a treat.

Another of my favorites. I have this one half-modded into a mini C64. It's the best NTSC version of the C64DTV there is.

So I never managed to get into Final Fantasy. Am I missing out? I think I've tried them all. Even had it for Game Boy. The music is great but the game just bores me. FF for SNES looks great yet I did not manage to get into it. I've tried to get into FF a bunch of times but I have always failed so I am wondering if those games are even worth it. Am I missing out on something? First I would blame the genre. I never liked it. I would prefer action oriented games (no discussion if those are RPGs. I never said they are) like Mystic Quest/Final Fantasy Legends, Star Tropics or Zelda (especially the GB ones). There are some turn based RPGs I REALLY enjoy like Mother/Earth Bound or Pokemon. So what other turn based RPGs should I try and why is FF good / should I try again?

Different people like different things. Don't worry about it too much.

That said, I personally think FF4 and FF9 are really fun and I recommend them to everyone. 6 gets a lot of (deserved) love, too.

Not a fan of JRPGs. The turn based combat with random encounters are a turn off.

Can appreciate the story, music, and world though.
>>
>>3164170
Unfortunately RPGs are made for people like you nowadays, being completely real time and no random encounters. So thanks for ruining the genre!

Digimon is about a single partner who you stick with the entirety. Pokemon is about throwing them in a box to rot when their usefulness has ended.

Is it possible at all to complete Front Mission 3 via emulation?

Do you mind saying what settings you had or what iso you used?

Yep, entire game with pete's opengl2. Don't remember where I got my ISO from though, since I've had it downloaded for a long time.

Ok guys, ive been trying to find a pocket sized snes emulation handheld, but so far no luck. Dstwo sucks, psp is god awful and slow as shit. Smartphones have great emus, but no buttons and i realld dont have room in my pocket for a clip on controller.
I just wanna play smw with no slowdowns and no more fuckin crashes everytime i get halfway through star oceans story. Any recommendations?

Wait. So you dont have room for a controller, but you have room for this other device, and your smartphone?

Makes no sense.

You gonna leave your phone at home? No? Then you do have room for a pocket controller in lieu of your "emulation device"

/thread

Ive got an lg g3. Every controller thats big enough to clip my phone on is big as hell. I cant fit a dualshock or similar in my pocket, i usually end up having to wear a sweatshirt even when its hot just to fit the controller/ psp. whereas with say a ds its slim enough to fit in my back pants pocket and not feel like its about to fall out all the time

N3DS. Why is this even a question? The buttons are even colored like the damn SFC.

How does /vr/ feel about GCW Zero and others handheld like that?

Mega Man thread.

Can I get Battle Network advice here?
33 posts and 11 images submitted.
>>
>>3161142
I know a Battle Network thread would never survive on /v/, but it's not retro per the board sticky. If you aren't horribly opposed to leddit, the /r/megaman subreddit has had some good in depth discussion of Battle Network, so it'd be worth a shot trying there.

For some thread discussion:

Favorite stage?
Favorite boss?
Favorite weapon?
Favorite music?
X or original series?

I don't have favorites for most of those, but music has gotta be Armored Armadillo.

I like the Ray Splasher from MMX3.

Also the Zero Sabre.

On this note, actually, I've always pondered this: what is the MMX3 ultimate weapon? Is it the gold armor or the Zero Sabre? The gold armor isn't a weapon, per se, but it has a more similar method to obtaining it to the previous two games' ultimate weapons than the Zero Sabre (which, in function, is more like the ultimate weapons of old).
>>
>>3161154
The PSP version of Armored Armadillo is pretty cool.
