Hos come there aren't any new controllers of decent quality for the NES, or any other retro console for that matter, that isn't just plain copies of the original? The only new ones for the NES I can find besides famiclone ones that break really quickly are copies of the original NES controller, complete with sharp edges that dig into your hands, dpad that sucks for games where you move it in circles, and no turbo buttons.

Why do Japanese Zelda games (usually) have cooler subtitles than the American and PAL versions?

Also, Zelda region differences general.

You might not know it if you haven’t been hanging around the PCEFX forums, but following our translation of the PC-FX's only shooter, Zeroigar, elmer and I have been hard at work over the past year on simultaneously translating two PC Engine CD ARPGs by Nihon Falcom, The Legend of Xanadu and The Legend of Xanadu II.

Well, there is exciting news: we're essentially finished. All of the hacking, translating, editing and graphical work is done, and it looks great. There is one more big task that remains, however, and that’s making an English dub for the voiced parts.

Of course, it would be preferable to make subtitles, but given the constraints of the hardware, that just isn't possible. We'll release the scripts, but a dub is the only way people will be able to experience the The Legend of Xanadu in a normal way.

Would you be interested in lending your voice to these fantastic games? Do you know anyone else who might be? Please have a look at our character list page, where you'll find everything you need to audition. There are roughly fifty parts to fill, some large, some small, and we’re going to need a broad cast of actors to pull this off. When we do, though, it’s going to be something really special.

The dub-scripts are 100% finished, and the audio project files are completely set up with BGM, sound effects, and every clip-position marked. Literally the only thing left to do is copy and paste a few hundred clips after people get them recorded and sent to us.

The initial casting period will end May 19th. Feel free to ask any questions. We hope to hear from you soon!

Lets discuss /vr/ games that we never beat and why.

Double Dragon - I was never able to get past Machine Gun Willey, I can go through the entire game without losing a life up to that point, but I am never able to get more than a couple of hair pulling attacks on Willey before he kills me.

Double Dragon II: The Revenge - I was never able to get to the true final boss on supreme master difficulty. I beat the game once on normal difficulty but I cannot get past the ninjas before shadow billy on supreme difficulty. I can pull of the special moves consistently, but I have difficulty landing them on the ninjas.

The real Samus Aran has green hair and wears a magenta leotard. That blonde woman you see in newer games is just an actress the Galactic Federation uses for their propaganda.

I finally just got round to completing Shenmue II. So let's discuss all things Shenmue!

Which one was your favorite?

I have a feeling it won't just stay a simple revenge story, and that there's something bigger to it.

Previous thread >>3876442

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!

>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+ Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.

Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories
