i think megaman x series from the snes are somehow easier to beat as you have more freedom in movement, it feels that whenever i die is because of my lack of skill, rather than blaming the engine as i usually think when i drop on earlier megaman versions

Because you played on Normal.

It's an easier difficulty put in for weak gaijin.

>>4049436
They edited 2 for the US version to make it much easier. No, seriously.

Hard mode is the Japanese original, more in line with the other versions of the game. Normal is actually more of an "easy mode" than anything else.

Uncharted Waters: New Horizons

>>4048990
Yes

>>4048990
only with a converter that states it can do that. There is region lockout on the japanese system to prevent playing of american games

>>4048990
Does anyone here even own the converter pictured? I have a Kisado converter, but I never knew there were any others out there.

Yea that thing they used to put the games on. Made of plastic. Before that digital download thing

>>4048392
that's interesting indeed

Cute. <autism>Maybe unintentionally, but it makes a lot of sense, too. If something like Carmageddon were real, most of the contestants would be teenagers. That's the age at which they'd get into it and they wouldn't exactly have a chance to grow up.</autism>

On XP latest didn't work for me until putting manifest file into the directory.

>compile
they dont release pre compiled w32 binaries?
perhaps its just the compiling that wont work for whatever reason.
isnt an emulator a rather standalone software? its not like it would depend on directx12 or windows 10 APIs or wtf

windows xp is the retropc OS, a shame if retroarch really wont work on it

>>4048206
yeah, but do the cores work? I loaded mine up into the latest (and just used a manifest from an old build), but when I try to open a core, it doesn't work.

Is that a joke?

it's a timeless classic, best of the best

I recently beat it, fucking great game. The melee combat is wonky, but the laser rapier kicks ass.
One of my new favorites. Half of the reason I love it so much is the sound design and the writing.
Once you get to a certain point in the plot, the sound work really starts to shine.

Is the first one worth playing? How's the GOG port? I'm still working on my tolerance for retro jank.

It's a good ride, but the game is pretty unbalanced and doesn't feel completely playtested. PSI powers only really exist so you can challenge yourself, the game alternates between leaving you scavenging for ammo and having more ammo than you can possibly use, many abilities aren't worth the investment, the majority of PSI powers are completely worthless, and the game lets you roam free only to give you a railroad plot to follow. Don't get me started on how much the Body of the Many onward sucked.

6-7/10 game, needed some polish.

Uh, I had one similar to that lying around at my parents house and connected an old laptop to an old CRT TV I have on my room there...

It "works", I guess. You CAN play games on it. But if I hadn't had it at hand in the first place I wouldn't have spent money on it. It sucks.

The lowest resolution it'll let me go is 480p, which when shrunken down to a lower res S-Video signal looks BLURRY. Color fidelity is all wrong (everything looks blown out, and I mean REALLY blown out, not just the usual /vr/ autistic standars... whole color ranges are lost, must adjust color setting on video card panel just to make movies watchable). Also, the refresh rate can't be changed and is way too low for videogames, expect lots of tearing.

I say, if you're going to spend money, spend it on something that's at least made for your specific usecase. Check pic related ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/192116647418?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ), I got it recently and I'm going to test it next time I visit my parents' house where the rest of the setup is.

It's garbage, don't get it

>>4047536
It will look the same or worse than just emulating using your laptop's built-in screen because they only do 480i ever. Any resolution you throw at it will be converted to 480i, and it is incapable of a non-interlaced 240p signal. So you will never get authentic scan lines using it, even on SD CRTs. It is decent for watching movies though, if your CRT has a larger screen than your laptop.

>>4047338
It's my favorite as well; tons of personality and not that challenging.

The charm system is a cute way of portraying the "curse" aspect of the storyline, but granted: it's a bit frustrating at first until you stock enough charm stones

I wish I could beat Monster Land, it kicks my ass. RPG elements with a timer was a terrible idea.

teh 32-bit

3DO actually had a bunch of good games, Jaguar had Rayman, Alien vs Predator and that one Doom port.

But 3DO was great. Why do all you underage AVGN fans hate it? Jaguar I can understand, but 3DO was excellent.

I only played the fighting game, pretty cool but also the CPU does some really bullshit input reading.
Would like to try the other games.

Why do you want to play it if you don't even know that it's not translated?
The game is way too Japanese to be translatable and technical obstacles do the rest.

BSNES or higan or something. Also a quick google would have given you this: http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=23162.0

It's currently in testing, translated by the dude who translated the GBA game.

2 great Nintendo games

It's fantastic, but a lot of people don't like the change in physics for SMB1 (it's a really minor thing though, I doubt most people actually noticed it while playing, most just read about it and proceeded to notice later).
SMB2 is probably the best looking of the remakes.
SMB3 also looks pretty good but sadly it's missing some of the trademark art direction elements, like the transparent powerup signs on the sky, or the spacey background on underground levels and the cool silver terrain texture.
I also think the music on the NES original (SMB3) is better, especially the ending theme, that's not to say the SNES one isn't good, but it could have been better, it's just okay.
SMW has an actual separate sprite for Luigi on this collection.

>It's fantastic, but a lot of people don't like the change in physics for SMB1 (it's a really minor thing though, I doubt most people actually noticed it while playing, most just read about it and proceeded to notice later).

I disagree that it's minor. The physics feel completely different. But I've played a lot of SMB and blow through the original like nothing whenever I pick it up.

Funny, that always worked fine before. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER GOG.
