I kind of miss it. I was only a big reader during the N64 - Gamecube years.

Looking back, I enjoyed the few issues of Gamefan I owned more than the dozens of NPs.

Jesus fucking christ this writing is cringe inducing

Wait, isn't it real?

At the same time, LGR's "Doom on a calculator" vid that isn't actually Doom is making the media rounds.

Perfect symbiotic relationship.
Dr. Robotnik hates Sonic so much, that he'd hate to see Sonic die. It'd mean he wouldn't have anyone to hate nearly as much anymore.

Also, did you know? Sonic 2 for the Master System came out before Sonic 2 for the Mega, so Sonic 2 is canon while Sonic 2 is a spinoff.

>>3811989
Robotnik can't enter the special stage

>>3812006
No, Sonic 2 on the Genesis is canon because it was made by Sonic Team, while MS Sonic 2 was outsourced.

Gilgamesh.

Ultros was fucking stupid and reddit-tier random.

Don't get me wrong, FFVI is still one of the greatest games though

>>3811904
Not OP, but I haven't played that game in years. Ultros was the squid dude right? I actually liked him. Games don't have to be serious all the time.

>Is there a good book about computer architecture that could really help me out? I'm still a novice when it comes to stacks and heaps and counters and all that stuff.
I don't know any good general books about computer architecture, but you'll definitely want to pick up a copy of the processor manual for the z80 (if you don't already have one).

Do you have any more specific questions about computer architecture stuff, or are you just looking for good reading material?

>Also semi related, would it be beneficial to learn x86 assembly first before tackling z80 assembly? I've heard they have some similarities, but I'm not sure if it would actually be easier.
Yes and no. On one hand, learning any assembly language will make the rest of them easier, but x86 is a nightmare to read and even worse to disassemble. You're probably better off spending that time getting better at the architecture you're actually working with.

>>3811453
I don't understand. If you want to emulate Pac-Man, why not just use MAME?

In either case, not only do you need to be intricately familiar with z80 assembly to do anything like this, you need to know Pac-Man's unique memory map and every other piece of hardware in the machine. If you're a novice, this may be way too difficult a project for you to handle.

>>3811467
I'm looking to read pretty much anything tangentially related to the topic at hand. I don't think there's really any books specifically about emulating cpus, but I could be wrong. Maybe I'm just not searching for the right keywords.

I've found quite a few tutorials though, but a lot of them are incomplete.

>>3811372
fan translations are always shit.

whats wrong wit hthe original translation? its charming and well written

>>3811375
From what I know he took some liberties with the script, straying away from the original at some points.

>>3811373
Yeah, but who knows. This one might be good.

Could have been this, too

it's both.

PCE is 8 bit but tg16 is 16 bit. It says it right in the name.

>>3810836
The TurboGrafx-16 (same thing) has an 8-bit CPU, a 16-bit video color encoder, and a 16-bit video display controller. So it's both.

No, I value my time.

>le spam limits all game long
FF8 has the lamest challenges of the series. It really speaks about how shit its system is

>>3810093
Ever try a compelling character or story run? Wait, that's impossible for this game.
