I think most people may already know about this;

Sound familiar? It is if I recall the Shop Theme from Final Fantasy 1.
But then my friend showed me this album out of nowhere;

Have a listen and see what you think.
Do we know of any developers or old-time composers that stated on record what their inspirations were?

It's pretty good though for the price can do most of the things that you can already do with a PC and/or a Raspberry Pi aside from the whole play from cartridges angle.
It's built better and has more use than the Retron 5 though the asking price is a bit much at $200. (My girlfriend bought mine so I can't complain too much)

Default controller kinda sucks. But I just use a USB SNES pad which works perfectly fine.

Just ordered one of these from Amazon. Really getting into PS1 gaming and the stock PS2 D-pad hurt my fingers and are terrible for fighters. Anybody have any experience with the Dual Impact? Supposedly it has a mode where you can use the analog sticks as the digital d-pad, something very rare on PS1/PS2 gamepads.

It's dead skin cells. It looks nothing like the actual light reflection you can see on the d-pad.

Can Gameboy Colours play Gameboy games in black & white or does it have to play them in a shade of colour?
Also gameboy or handheld general I suppose.

Exactly who thought Platoon would make a good video game? I mean, really. For one thing, it was a serious movie, not a cheesefest like Ghostbusters or something, secondly kids are the primary market for video games and how many of them were interested in a drama about the Vietnam War anyway.

Movie tie-ins had instant recognition and pre-established fans.
American "Action" films were huge money and foreign devs saw dollar signs even if they didn't understand the source material properly they understood the gullibility of the American consumer.

As a new PVM owner. I have a bunch of questions.
1. Should the chroma setting be at on, off, or auto?
2. Should my NTSC be at 7.5 or 0?
3. What are the best settings overall?

That's 9 colors.
But anyway, it varies by game.

Drop the post-Golden Age shite, obviously.
I've recently acquired a Sony PVM 1350, but I've noticed the RGB slots on the back only say RGB and not RGB/Component. Can I still use Component cables?

You'll need BNC dawg.

>>3054362
I've got BNC to RCA adapters. I get great picture, but there's a green tint.
>>
>>3054371
Adjust the nobs on the front.
You get RGB via a BNC adapter cable.

Populous thread? Populous thread!
In all seriousness though, this is one of those games I have never been able to figure out. First emulated it for SNES and later bought a loose cart for SNES on the cheap at a now defunct local store.Almost bought the DS version, just because I love the idea of the game, even if I can not understand how to play it. Anyone else a fan of Populous? Stories and whatnot are quite welcome.

OP here, I might just not be able to play games by Bullfrog. I have yet to figure out how to get Syndicate to go from the item/mission/stats screen to the actual game as well. Dungeon Keeper as well. The lack of manuals probably was the cause, or my own stupidity. Syndicate Wars was pretty neat however.
>>
>>3054137
It's a fun game, I only recently figured it out, like last year. Haven't played it since though. Have owned it forever, you just are supposed to make things as favorable as possible for your people, and help them flourish as much as you can.

I had both this and Populous 2 on the Atari ST as a kid. As much as I enjoyed the first game, 2 was so much better with the heavily expanded magic and champion systems.

Did you ever beat this game before it became a meme?

I never actually beat it, I was born in 1991, and grew up with SNES and n64, but I remember when prankcalling gamestops to ask if they had battletoads was a /b/ thing way back in 2008 or so.
Its funny, because meme culture wasn't even a fucking thing back then.

Are there any other games that are this hard in the modern era?

nah, it was too hard. we'd just play TMNT Arcade or the Manhattan one on the NES instead.
What's the best for handheld emulating?

In my (admittedly limited) experience, most handheld emulators are horribly inaccurate junk. Stick to emulation on a real PC, and play actual portable games when you're out and about.
>>
>>3053917
I've been happily using my New 3DS for emulation. I like it more than a PSP.
But I suppose some kind of "android tablet with buttons" thing is going to be way better than either.
>>
>>3053943
Regular size or XL?
Is it comfy?
Are the buttons and d-pad any good?
Do the GB, GBC, and GBA emulators all run at full speed?
