Final Fantasy 8

umihara kawase shun, very good platformer game with a lot of depth.

All of the best PS1 games are "non-mainstream". Klonoa, Mega Man 8 & X4, Tomba, Time Crisis, Tempest X3, Raiden Project, Um Jammer Lammy, Jumping Flash, Silhouette Mirage, etc.

probably a little more panzer dragoon saga.

kek *I meant Choice

Gonna be doing Phantasy Star III. I have a half-finished save of Parasite Eve that I lost steam on. It was cool, but I got busy at the wrong time and abandoned it.

I know PSIII is supposed to be the weakest of the original series, buy I did I and II a few months back and want to save IV for last, since it's many people's favorite.

SNES's weird 8:7 lowass resolution upscales like shit.

>>3696963
Try a different emulator. Zsnes is so bad the developers gave up on it and quit.

Snap, wish it had all 151 pokes and more courses, but it's still pretty solid and unique title.

I also wish Pax Softnica made another game with the same engine that wasn't based on Pokemon.

Pokakman Trading Card Game for GBC.

Find a Kirby rom from the no-intro set or a one of the good dumps from the goodsnes set. However, your problem may be your emulator seeing as some have problems emulating the sa1 chip.

>>3696448
i guess i'll try these ones and if that doesn't work either, i'll go with another emulator
thanks anon

>>3696461
I can confirm that its an emulator problem. Try a handful of emulators, as few are likely to play it perfectly. I can't remember accurately, but I think I played this on ZSNES a long time ago.

>>3696394
Modbo 4.0

>>3696394
Buy one of those $10 boot-discs on eBay. They come with a spring to keep the lid button closed and work great for swapping in backups.

Mod chipped PS1
Or soft modded PS1(nothing never than the 7500 series) with a Killer and it's other 99999999999 derivatives

>What are good places to find GBC games nowadays?

jap sellers on ebay.

>hidden gems
Wario Land 3, Survival Kids, GTA2, Shantae, Harvest Moon 3, Link's Awakening DX + the Zelda Oracle games, Mario Golf/Tennis, Daikatana.

If you're into NES/SNES ports/remakes; SMB Deluxe, DKC, Mega Man Xtreme, Street Fighter Alpha and Mortal Kombat 4 are all decent considering the console and it's limitations.

The GBC didn't have a whole lot of games, let alone good ones. The good games it does have are really great though.

Pokemon Yellow, semi-common.

>>3695391
The entire English GB/GBC library should fit on even a CD-R without too many problems, but I can understand why you'd want to pare it down somewhat.

So, I dunno, Megaman? Castlevania? Maybe other RPGs?

>>3695413
I thought of megaman/castlevanias, along with metroid 2 and am putting those on right now.

I dont know many of the RPGs other than final fantasy and pokemon for the gameboy, even though I was really exposed to the gb library growing up

Whats the best emulator these days for gameboy/color/advance that emulates saving?

You are retarded but your parents kept it a secret.

>>3694989
Damn

>>3694967
You apparently weren't such a prat back then. But here we are.

I agree OP. Hexen is one of my all-time favorite games. it has buttloads of atmosphere, it pushed the doom engine further, and I always liked the hub system of interconnected levels. people always complain about the puzzles, but that didn't really bother me. I personally like the idea of adding more layers and not making it a mindless FPS.

nobody ever talks about Heretic 2

it was a good a game, at least I remember it being good, dont know how it holds up

>>3694874
It plays different from the others, but it was a pretty good adventure game.

The whole game was the idea of Santa's little elf helpers.

they might have done it but theyre still fucking midgets. I would rather be a poor normal heighted person than a rich midget.

Is VGA worth it if I already have s-video cables for the DC? Been thinking bout picking up a cheap VGA box from AliExpress.

>>3694436
I just got TTD and openTTD. Now how do I get into this game? Any tips, tricks or tutorials? I assumed is just like sim city.

>>3694526
>Now how do I get into this game?
Try the executable

Am I the only person who is happy with the original GB screen? I think the greenish yellow has more character than regular grayscale on white.

>>3693964
It's hard to see through and ghosting is a pain. The pocket is my favourite most people say light isnbest but i haven't used one before but i still appreciate the original for what it is

>>3693964
same. i love my GB screen so i would never mod it. thats why i bought the GB Boy Colour instead cause it already has a built in backlight.
