Are these any good /vr/?most of the ones on ebay look filthy
God Tier: Official controller with tight joystick
High Tier: Hori Mini Pad 64
Pretty Good Tier: N64 Stick Converter PCB v3
Not Bad Tier: TRAXXAS shock gasket joystick fix
Shit Tier: Epoxy joystick repair, tape joystick repair, aftermarket N64 controller, chink joystick replacement
They aren't as precise as official brand new N64 controllers.

Thank you. Nothing worse than shelling out lots of cash except doing it and then finding that it still won't make the cut anyway.
That's like getting punched in the gut and then kicked in the balls.
Do you AV mod your older consoles? I modded my Atari for the first time today. While I was at it, I also installed a new power socket to replace the old, broken one.

Theres nothing wrong with collecting for your own enjoyment.
"ascending" sounds like giving up. You'll find that most collectors own flashcarts becuase they're a nice compliment to your collection.
Why did the Europeans make games with little to no difficulty curve? It throws everything it has at you from the very start you decide to play the game. Unless I'm only considering a few games in mind in which this occurs?
>>3974250
If they made it too difficult it would be considered offensive and the feminists would try to ban pissing while standing up again.
Westies just can't into game/level design.

That's Sweden tho. Fuckin hate those people.

Also, Pat's shitty guide is shitty and Ian is still a pussy SJW cuck who scored tons of money because he's too retarded to not have a shitty diet.

Why hasn't this game been topped yet as far as comfy levels go?
No sim city since has been this comfy. The music alone is just like a warm blanket.

Go play Wonder Project.

Archers are broke as fuck in tactics ogre.
aren't shamans even worse?

I found out literally just this week that this game is on SNES.
All this time I thought it was PSX.
Thoughts on the SNES version?
>>3972982
it's the same as the PSX version
I'm a newb to emulation. What are the recommended Sega Saturn and PS1 emulators?
>>3972849
Check out google.com for all your spoonfeeding needs.
>>3972851
Google results are hardly reliable unless you already know what to look for.
There are no good saturn emulators.
Psx you can use whatever? Mednafen I guess
Why is Atari so cheap?
Did it go through an expensive phase? Did the bubble pop? Or is it just not desirable? I played a lot as a kid at my friend's house, but never owned it myself. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that even ebay bundles with a ton of good games are often quite affordable.
There's a whole lot of them in the wild, and it isn't nostalgic for a lot of the people buying retro shit right now. I grew up with a 2600 despite being born a decade late for it, definitely a lot of fun if you're into early arcade style gameplay.
>>3972584
Oh I am. It's weird, because apart from the graphics, a lot of it is comparable to NES in terms of gameplay.
Most people who grew up with it and collect for it already have one and the games they want. There's definitely some new people getting into it, but for the vast majority of people who started collecting retro games in the last 5-10 years, NES is the cutoff point and nothing before then is worth playing.
The supply far outweighs the demand.
How can I clean up an RF signal to my Famicom? It produces these wavy lines and a bit of noise. The noise mostly goes away when I pull the cable upward, not certain why.
I have the cable directly plugged into an adapter on the back of the TV, and I'm not using an RF adapter, is it worth ordering one? I've already ordered ferrite beads to put on the length of my cable.
This is how I have the cable connected.
Is it worth getting the Japanese RF switch?
Or the American one?
What have you been playing? Post hidden gems, upcoming games etc..
>>3972514
Just finished Thimbleweed Park.
Not retro though.
>>3972514
>The solution to that puzzle
Poor Larry.
>>3972514
The later Leisure Suit Larry games looked more like LucasArts animation than Sierra.
Hey /vr/
I got one of these bad boys awhile back to play NES and SNES games. It's been working great for awhile. I got Castlevania III and it doesn't work on it.
Whenever I boot the game up, I get a black screen with some music. Pressing start brings me to the main menu. Everything on the menu is fine except for the cross sprite which isn't recognizable. After starting a new game and entering a name with no problems, I get to see the opening cutscene. Trevor's sprite is all garbled, and after it ends, the game crashes.
Is the problem with the system or the game? If there's a problem with the game, is it possible for me to fix it?
Here's the closest thing I could find to someone else having this issue: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=5217.0;wap2
Get a real nes, those chinese shitbombs cannot into CV III emulation sadly
CV3 being unplayable on famiclones is common knowledge.
>>3972389
>famiclone
>emulation
Correction: This is the system I own.
>>3972389
I'd like to, but I don't have the space. I'd have to box my Wii U or Genesis up for that.
>>3972392
I did not know. Didn't think any kind of incompatibilities would pop up.

I'm trying to figure out how to have monsters teleport into the room when the player crosses a linedef.
Teleporters work by having a linedef you contact, which then warps you to a teleport destination Thing within the tagged sector.
How can I have teleporters activate when a linedef is crossed? I thought of having an off-grid room filled with monsters with a wall that lowers when the linedef is crossed, but how could I make the monsters move into the teleporter? How would you go about doing this?
Do mods and custom maps for games like quake need to be script heavy to be good? I want to make something adventure-y like hexen 2 is.
Anyone have experience with repairing the thumbsticks on these guys? My roommate has 6 controllers, all with beat thumbsticks. From youtube I see that there are essentially 2 methods, one uses tape to build up the worn away plastic, the other uses epoxy to do the same. Anyone try the tape method? Was it good enough?
>>3972034
Tape method is a temporary solution. I remember some place selling just the gears inside the controller but I can't remember where, I'm also will be buying one of those replacements from aliexpress and switch the gears around to see if it works.
>>3972034
Don't get a 3rd party replacement, they're all awful. Either get a 1st party replacement (grease it up before use and it should last a long time), a Hori Mini Pad, or a raphnet gcn to n64 adapter.
>>3972115
Don't listen to this fool. I have tried tape method, glue method, epoxy method, and replacing the stick is the way to go. Pop open the little replacement stick and lube it up. It'll be 99% as good as oem brand new. The thumbstick by design will deteriorate and need to be replaced. Do not buy the replacement sticks that have the gamecube style stick because those have sensitivity errors and will not work well for games like LOZ or Smash 64.
