So I pirated- I mean legally bought FF7 since I keep hearing it's hilariously bad unplayable overrated garbage with a dumb plot and I wanted to laugh at how bad it is, but it seems to actually be really good? I mean the graphics are kinda y'know but it's a mid 90s PS1 game so I was expecting shit graphics anyway and am fine with that, like I really don't think that would be enought to make it the worst game ever or whatever.

Do I just have shit taste? Because I'm really not seeing "worst game" or even "bad." Like I'm actually really digging this game. Why do people hate it?

what are you even talking about

Final Fantasy VI contrarians and hipsters circlejerk around hating 7. That, and alot of people who claims it has a shitty plot either have never actually played it, or misunderstand the plot.

I've actually been playing Disc 2 all night, it's fuckin awesome.

Give me a retro game that, if released today, would be regarded as groundbreaking AND popular.

Kind of impossible unless we pretend that all other games that built off of said retro game's ingenuity also didn't exist. Like Donkey Kong. Doesn't hold up against a lot of modern platformers, but if it didn't exist, they wouldn't either.

>Kind of impossible unless we pretend that all other games that built off of said retro game's ingenuity also didn't exist

actually it doesn't matter, new generations are ignorant and call everything groundbreaking when they are not. Examples:
-Mass Effect (baby's first WRPG)
-Oblivion, Fallout 3 (see above)
-Dead Rising (most people think of it as the most original game ever but it's just a 3d zombie rehash of river city ransom)
-Bioshock (dumbed down System Shock)
-Undertale (Mother series)
-Demon's/Dark souls (take previous From Software games in that style and add an online component, revolutionary)
-Persona series after 3
-Most indieshit fits this too

and more... it doesn't matter how many similar games there are, what matters is to be the first popular game to reach normie consciousness. So yeah, there are lots of retro games that could be released now and blow everyone's mind even though it's not original. Even journos nowadays are ignorant as fuck and are the first to perpetuate myths about originalitys

>Is there any evidence that they really are better than other disc manufactures?

I don't know if they're better, but you certainly have to go with Taiyo Yuden if you want burned PS1 games to work. For whatever reason, discs by any other manufacturer will stutter or not even boot. Yes, with proper burn settings too.

Thread for rather unscrupulous products being sold for legitimate games or systems.

You can find a large chunk of this stuff on The Internet Archive (on the software side of things at least) if you yourself are interested, but a lot of these packs are just content "borrowed" from the internet or are of generally low quality.

Anyways, did any of you anons own stuff like this?

Does anyone know where I can buy a fully-wired RGB scart cable for my Dreamcast? I don't want to risk buying through ebay in case I get scammed with just a composite-only scart, which I hear is often commonplace.

It helps if it has RCA audio additionally.

Buy a cheap VGA cable for like 10 bucks instead. It's better.

Most of the games are 480p so rgb will only get you 480i with any game that's not 240p.

You want a vga box for it.

Well, I just beat the anniversary edition on steam. I feel a bit conflicted about the harsh trial & error gameplay contrasted against the amazing style and aesthetic, but that's not the issue.

The issue is that this port is a fucking dumpster fire. Terrible control mapping, constant crashing, dropped inputs everywhere and overall just a really shoddy job on most aspects. I would not trust Dotemu to hold their own dicks while they pee after playing this shit version of the game.
