Is it intentional the video is 666mb?

>>3144002
Have you tried playing it backwards? Maybe something happens then.

This was really good. Thanks OP.

This article is also a great read:

Jrpgs are shallow trash. Mash X to win.

>>3140781

That's like saying books are shallow trash, turn page to win

I haven't played the steam version OP but the game is excellent. Worth a playthrough with either format.

I would get PSX version + retroarch + crt shader if you can't play on a real console. I would skip that trash ugly hd releases. the backgrounds are still 320x224px. They models stick out from the background even when playing on a crt+scanlines. You only get a homogenous picture if you play through trash cable composite.

Saturn is fucking tits if you like ports of early 90s arcade games and real Japanesey shit.

Saturn library is actually fucking great but half of it is Japanese Only and 40% of the rest is expensive as fuck

It doesn't have the huge number of shovelware nugamer shit that ended up destroying the industry that the N64 and PS1 did. It had a few, of course, but the rest of the library was pretty much console gaming's last hurrah.

I'm fond of what I've heard of Retronauts so far.
I especially like their retrospective of Dragon Warrior/Quest and the one on Echo Night.

Jeremy Parish is on it.

Thinking about starting one.
No ranting no bitching just talking. What would draw you into listening to one?

>>3136284
One that goes in-depth on the technical parts of the game. The kind of stuff you would find in a good TAS description.

Called limited hardware.

6th gen and later it's just laziness. As packed up by at least one game that looks amazing while also running at a high frame rate.

>>3100823
>What kind of framerate did 3rd gen Euro home computer games (C64,CPC,800XL,Spectrum) have?
Spectrum had shit framerates. No graphics hardware so everything done in software with a slow CPU. 25fps is considered "smooth" by Spectrum standards, most games are far worse. And it's PAL, so it's capped at 50fps no matter what.

>Were 2D arcade games always 60fps
The Metal Slug games run at 30fps.

>Were 3D arcade games always 60fps
Outrun runs at 30fps (but the Saturn port has a 60fps mode).

Autism: the thread

The vast, vast majority of 2D games are 60fps. There's nothing really interesting about it.

It had crazy reimaginings of a fan-favorite property. Now that wasn't welcome in the early 90s, but such reimaginations became all the rage in the mid 2000s. That said, the SMB movie was ahead of its time and would have been much more accepted - maybe even beloved - had it been made a decade later.

>>3144886
Agreed. Especially since production was a fucking nightmare. It still managed to be a solid movie despite all that shit.

Hell, I consider the climax very well done, and its interpretations of the source were clever (literal mushroom kingdom, turning the goomba heads into uniforms with smaller heads on top, jet boots, that cute as fuck Daisy).

I'd even argue that the wall portal inspired the portals in SM64.

>>3144886

Is this an alternate reality

The movie was fucking garbage with bad acting, a horrible plot, horrible fucking cheesy effects and really stupid characters that didn't represent their video game personalities at all.

Creepy is a word used by women to describe a man that is lacking sex appeal.

The word you're looking for is spooky.

naww that calculator had no love stateside, our parents bought us real gaming machines, no need to fuck with computers until the voodoo cards came out.

Not entirely true. Timex sold a few units.

It's a flash CART, do you think it does Sega CD games?

I have emulated Sega cd games on a psp before so what you said doesn't mean anything


Also from the website pic related says free cd bios
Which I'm assuming is Sega cd
I could be wrong

>>3147124
You still need a SEGA CD unit connected as it has additional hardware in it.

Dragon Quest III

>>3142286
DQIII.

Mario 1 isn't too bad. Zelda isn't either. I even beat both of those games today just because I came home and had the chance to play some NES.

I think Metroid has a good balance of difficulty.

I'm working on Ghosts n Goblins right now. It's not really that hard, but people say it is.

Dragon Warrior, from my memory isn't too bad.

>>3128145
I might also say contra with the Konami code isn't all that hard.

Kirby's Adventure
Chip & Dale Rescue Ranger
Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu
Willow
Puss n' Boots
Tiny Toon Adventures (up to a point)
Mega Man 3 with the "hold down in controller 2" cheat.

>>3142415
Doesn't it run well if you emulate it through Dolphin via VC?

Emulator using: Project64 2.2 (I call bullshit on malware)
ROMS playing: Jet Force Gemini (framerate issues), Rush 2 (graphical issues), Wipeout 64 (way too fast).

Solution: Use different plugins or previous emulators, fuck round with the settings, etc.

>let's have a n64 emulation thread

Into the garbage with this thread. Just talk about games and consoles, emulation is illegal for one, and a tool of the poor for another.

Do a barrel roll

SHOOT AT EVERYTHING.
Sometimes when they shoot at you, do barrel rolls.
Apart from that, shoot at everything. Never not shoot.
Also, I was just thinking of making a Star Fox 64 thread, because yesterday I played it for the first time in 15 years.
I even got a new highscore. 1075. It is a lot for me, since the highest I have gotten before that was 862.
Also, I felt stupid when I realized you could get out of Andross' brain tentacles with the turbo. Was near death by then, though and on my next try I beat him with almost no shield lost.

>>3149801
Is this the second
>I never got into N64 until I saw YouTube...
Post?

I've never played the PC ports. The PSone version is superior.

>>3147764
After you mod it, yes.

they have their pros and their cons, their biggest pro i think are the quicker loading times. every black transition screen is like 90% faster, this includes doors and random encounters and shit. makes the game feel a lot faster than the ps1 version.

the biggest con imo is how shitty the low res pre-rendered backgrounds look on high res monitors, but i can look past that.

Atari 2600 was good

I enjoy 99% of games I play on some level and think all the "this game sucks" "no this game sucks more" conversations are repetitive and boring. I wish people could just enjoy games for their good parts rather than get so stuck on the bad ones.

Only retards call the first PlayStation of 'PSX'
