Monster rancher 2.

I love how the Red/Blue fight keeps boiling down to Charmander/Squirtle when you could choose either of them in either game. It never comes around to the real argument.

>better than most modern shooters.
Which modern shooters do you think are better than sw?

>>2992424
Hm
STALKER series, killing floor 1, FEAR,Bioshock?..yeah I don't know.

Not better, but as enjoyable I guess?

Unfortunately modern single player FPS games are few and far between and are slapped togeather slop and shit. So yeah SW is better than 95%


Recommend some similar games?

Go play Blood. It has far more intuitive and memorable levels, is more difficult and has a really cool atmosphere. Probably the best build engine game, SW doesn't come close.

WOW over clocking an emulator? This changes everything. Checkmate console plebs. Your oscillators aren't shit.

>>2992054

PS1 over clocking, for whatever reason hasn't been done before. PS1 emulation overall is kind of stagnant.

>>2992056
well i think achieveing a higher framerate is cool but if it causes the game to run faster its kinda annoying

>no silhouettes on the moon...never
Not sure if is only 6 times. I have the feeling it could be more. I used to play it for hours as a kid, and I remember it took me a really long time to get the silhouettes for the first time.
But yeah, if I recall correctly it can be done. I didn't knew about the cheat menu when I played it back then, and I have clear memories of fighting against Reptile more than once..

>>2991875
because your cart is counterfeit

>>2991875
never had a problem

gotta have those silhouettes

gotta make sure not to push block ever, even for a special move

gotta remember that pit uppercut doesn't count as a fatality

we're going to have to remote into your genesis and see what you're doing wrong

Isn't EVO basically the line up of 98 with additional features? It's been a while since I had a DC and that game.

>>2989695

no that was this guy

>>2989679
99 Evo had a few extra striker-only characters and 3D backgrounds, I don't recall if it also had the Arrange soundtrack, gameplay is the same as the arcade version, as far as I remember

It may be just as well because there's really not a good way to play old Windows games on modern hardware. Sort of a gaping hole in emulation capabilities.

>>2989116
VMs?

There's too much lag, even though my PC can play the latest games.

>What draws you to retro games over modern ones?

The simple non long winded answer is modern games as a whole are garbage. They're filled with dumb down games play. You also have all the horrible DLC, online paywalls, etc.

I also grew up with retro games in the 90s so.

>>2989031
I get what you're saying. Struggling with controls isn't good game design though. It feels like a barrier that you just adjust to. It's definitely satisfying though when swimming through shit stops smelling so much

>>2989031
>I feel it has a certain mystique that modern games don't have.
Well for starters, it isn't a cinematic AAA linear interactive movie that you stop and play for five minuets before handing the control back over to the game, while having your hand held through any 'exploration' segments and any sense of danger/control stripped away during quick-timer events.

It's the antithesis of modern AAA game design, or rather, the thing it's already become.

But it sucks and deserves to die a horrible death because of Tank Controls™

>Underrated

>Underrated SNES games
>pic not related

Live-A-Live, along with a number of other fan-translated "gems," are just hipster trash. There's probably a good reason why Square never bothered to localize it. It's a highly niche title directed at Japanese audiences, and I doubt even they cared much for it. The mechanics are experimental but in no way innovative or fun, the story is short, the dialogs are brief, the characters are all flat, unemotional and largely insignificant to any bigger picture, and the game has no replay value.

It's been discussed on /vr/ before, but mostly by one autistic individual who felt the need to shoehorn references to the game in numerous other threads that had nothing to do with it. Let's not go down that road again...

Pointless here as long as most posters are incapable of reading Japanese.

>>2988135
Well, /jp/ doesn't seem interested in anything /vr/ except 2hus.

>>2988135
That's your problem.

>>2988154
You haven't even tried.

Nice retronipples. Welcome. To a decent degree you also might want to visit /jpc/

You'll need an android device for dreamcast. I'm not too familiar with the but check out JXD devices... From what I understand they can be shotty quality but the one that looks like a DS is supposed to be good.

This is a good resrouces IIRC.

A lot of dedicated emulation devices use ARM-based CPUs, which don't have very strong emulation support. You may be able to play NES or SMS games without any noticeable issues, but SNES or PS1, not so much.

If you're looking to emulate on handhelds, your best options are a PSP-1000 or an Android-based phone. I'd personally just grab a used PSP-1000 as they're ridiculously easy to hack, have solid emulation support aside from SNES, and can handle PS1 games natively. A PSP would also be a lot cheaper than a dedicated emulation device or an unlocked phone.

GCCX is an actual tv game show with effort put into it to actually complete the games and research the games.

Lazy youtube cancer cant compare and they almost never actually complete the games or know what the fuck they are talking about.

Shiren the Wanderer and derivates are the only ones available for consoles, right?

>>2975749

Interesting, too bad half of them are Mistery Dungeon family.
I've heard of Milandra but it seems to be extremely difficult and not actually good.

Blood

This is the only racing game I like.

need for speed porsche.

>>2972250
BAR is one of my favorite racing games on N64.
Many of the available kart racing games like Mario Kart, CTR, and DKR are also good.
Gran Turismo 2 is fucking gold.
F-Zero games are also among some of my favorites.
Wave Race 64 is a classic.
I'm probably forgetting a bunch but those are the ones I can recall at the moment.
