I just got a Nintendo 64 from eBay, it arrived in perfect condition and the seller claims it's fully working but I can't seem to get any picture or sound from my TV.
I've got a Samsung 40" smart 3D tv (model UE40H6200AK) so I'm thinking maybe it's a bit too modern for a console like the N64.
The thing is, I can play my PS2 slim on it no problem through the red/yellow/white ports, and I had my Sega Saturn working fine just the other day.
I couldn't figure out how to make it work using the RF cable either. Am I doing something obviously wrong here? I don't have another TV to test it with so I might end up sending it back to the guy on eBay.
Ask in the repair thread.
Go to goodwill and buy a crt.
So I'm wanting to download a MAME rom set. The file is a whopping 50gb. Could I get caught by my ISP by downloading such a huge file? Thanks.
completely talking out of my ass right now but probably not. in my experience they only care about movies (especially newer ones) but it really depends on your ISP
>caught by your ISP
Are you fucking 12? Also, so what, they send you an e-mail telling you that you're a bad boy and only have ten strikes left or they'll give you another scathing e-mail!
Americans are actually afraid of copyright
LOVING EVERY LAUGH
so i haven't played a lot of the classic mario platformers (SMB and 3 on NES, a little bit of world on SNES). what would guys say is the best way to play them at the moment? the mario all stars+world and the SNES version of yoshi's island or the 4 advance games for the GBA?
i'll play them through emulation either way.
Your picture says it all, doesn't it?
GBA games have brighter color palette due to the GBA screen, it looks washed up and pale on emulators.
The screen resolution is also tinier, I haven't played the GBA Mario games and I assume they're still playable, but SNES lets you see more of the screen.
And then there's the sound, GBA has a tinier sound.
The GBA versions have some extras, but IMO the original games are perfect as they are. Leave the extra stuff for a second playthrough maybe, but you're fine playing the OG versions.
The GBA games have some bonus content, but lose screen resolution.
The bonus content isn't a big deal anyway.
I'd say play the SNES versions, except for Mario Advance 4. And use this hack with it:

Oh what the fuck, there isn't actually a download for it.
I'll see if I can find a different link or upload it myself.
Do you see yourself still playing video games when you're in your 50s?
I'm killing myself when I hit 30, thankfully there is a long way until then.
In my 50s? Sure. I'm scared of arthritis tho.
>>4007195
probably. I haven't grown out of it yet, so it's unlikely I'll just magically become a better person in the future either
barring significant outside influences of course. Maybe I'll die
I just ordered a PocketStation for FF8. What kind of fun can I expect from this thing? What games should I get? Overall in your experience, is it cool to have?
>is it cool to have?
It was
Now you're getting one I'll have to curbstomp mine. Thanks...
>>4006251
Why?
Is there anyone producing new content for old consoles atm? I remember there being some for Dreamcast but that's about it.
Think you'd buy new games for snes or gameboy if they were made with cartridges, proper packaging etc? Could be pretty neat

There's a new Megadrive belt scroller which looks pretty fucking sweet and uses a custom sound chip for music, but it is not allowed on /vr/.

>implying they won't take the preorder money and disappear
>>4005806
>forgets they actually made Pier Solar and shipped it out.

This. The company is Watermelon Games, i think. And the name of the game used to be Project Y but finally got changed recently. And oddly enough the time's i've seen it discussed on here there was no flaming. Or none beyond usual.

Just painted my genesis, mgsv theme, painting my Saturn the same colour scheme when it gets delivered.
Nice color

I mean it's not bad, but it's not an improvement either. Why?
Every single fighting video game is just the same 1v1 matches. /vr/ prove me wrong!
hold on bro, im watching a video, brb
Multipler character fighters usually don't play very well, they are clunky while blocking and cross ups are made impossible
Reshelled my GBC, is it good, does it look like shit? Be honest.
It seems a little bit odd to go with suck bright d pad and buttons with a subdued translucent case but it is distinctive. It's really about whether or not YOU like it.

Thank you!

I really like the foggy green tinge plastic
1st and 2nd gen Pokemon will always be the best
Pretty much every "Top 10 NES games" list has the same top 10 games. But something I've noticed is that generally the games were all surpassed elsewhere.
• Super Mario Bros 3 - surpassed by Kirby's Adventure
• Super Mario Bros. - Surpassed by Adventure Island
• Legend of Zelda - surpassed by Crystalis
• Metroid - surpassed by Ufouria,
• Final Fantasy - surpassed by Dragon Warrior 4
• Megaman 2 - surpassed by 3 - 6
• Castlevania - No need to be surpassed, it was shitty
• Zelda 2 - No need to be surpassed, it was shitty
• Duck Tales - it's okay, but not top 10
• Punch Out - this one deserves to be here
Why does everyone forget the superior games?
>>4004274
>Final Fanstasy
>even on the top 10
>DQ3 alone shits on any NES FF
>>4004274
>Castlevania
>shitty
nah your a shit eating pleb, also Castlevania III was infinitely superior
>Castlevania - No need to be surpassed, it was shitty
Got me until that part OP.
>Graphics don't matter
You don't enjoy nice visuals? Beautiful paintings, watching the sun set, and the deep, blue ocean waves don't do anything for you?
I don't get why gamers, especially in the retro community, say this. Graphics matter just as much as sound matters. You only want gameplay? Fine. Let's remove all music, sound effects, storylines, and just have white stick figures on a black background hopping around.
>>4003603
>storylines
And nothing of value would be lost.
Graphics certainly matter, but not in the sense that they have to be cutting edge.

Final Fantasy VI
Planescape: Torment
The Secret of Monkey Island
Grim Fandango
Parasite Eve
Post an underrated game, and an overrated game for the same platform.
Underrated: Jackal (NES)
Overrated: Mike Tyson's Punch Out
ITT: troll two fanbases at once and contribute nothing worthwhile to the world

By whom?
Jackal is pretty dope let's make this thread about that
New SD2SNES firmare came out last week.Anyone noticed better MSU-1 sound?
No, because nobody cares about MSU.

Did this game give anyone else a depressing, melancholic feeling?
>undoes the happy ending of the first game, has a depressing ending itself, and makes Guybrush look like a failure
I can't imagine why.
I blame LeChuck's Fortress.
Is it just me or were Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts adventures for complete pussies?
Interesting deaths used to be the main draw of adventure gaming dating back to the text era.
