Should be able to find them pretty easy, and pretty cheap too. Just check on google.

Also, find a copy of Wonder Boy in Monster Land as soon as you can. That is the greatest SMS game, ever.

What do you mean by Scrollers?

>>3665707
He's just forcing a new term for a genre of games that already have an established term.

Wow, two reoccurring shitposters in the same thread.

I was just playing the GBA version of this. The whole job system seems boring at first but it gets really fun once you start to get the hang of it and combining abilities.

It's much more immersive, battlewise, than FF6 because you require more grinding but it's not boring because you switch up your jobs all the time.

So far I'm liking the Geomancer, but I just got it.

I play the GBA version because I think the soundfont in the GBA version sounds better

SNES > GBA

There's two different controllers for the Genesis.

That one.

That's a good one unless you need the six button for whatever game you're playing and then get the six button

????????

How much do you recon I can sell this lot for?

>>3665581
about tree fiddy

>>3665594
Loch Ness monster? Is that you?

Not one of Toaplan's bests.

>>3665496
meh

pretty ok
like R-Type with less vagina inspired monsters

All I know of is that you can get Call to Power 2 on GOG and a source project for it.

>>3665423
I wonder why modern games don't have such unsettling themes like old ones.

Skip Fortress of Doom and just play Rise of the Sinistrals.

The first one will drive you mad with random encounters every third second.
Lufia 2 is very very good, but repetitive.
Go to town, go to dungeon and kill boss, suddenly the bridge or whatever is repaired and you can move to the next area where there is a town, a dungeon and a new broken something.

Can you explain why?

I'd say so. Even if you decide not to keep it, you could easily flip it for double that.

also worth noting it does 16x9 easily, and can work with either PAL or NTSC. It's a 10' monitor, but that's good for og xbox lan matches.

Anyone know exactly what a crt rejuvinator does?
My crt has not so bright whites and I want to fix that.

I own a 20 inch non multiformat bvm that has around 34k hours on it. I have the option to get a 20L5 from 2002, what should I look out for when inspecting the pvm. My bvm has near perfect geometry so I'm expecting a trade off with this pvm. How can one tell when a tube has dulled out.

Sort the following brands of CRT TV into high medium and low quality, adding notes and tips when appropriate.

Sanyo

Sylvania

RCA

Hitachi

Magnasonic

Mitsubishi

NEC

Prima

General Electric

Goldstar

Symphonic

Toshiba

JVC

Sony

Magnavox

Sharp

Samsung

Philips

if my memory doesnt betray me here, i think to play pirated games you needed a mod chip inside the saturn, unlike the shitty playstation that played pirated disc's right out of the box

then again... they cracked the machine recently, so there might be boot blocks available to patch your ISO's?

inb4 that one autistic PS1 fanboy comes in and tries to convince us that the Saturn doesn't have "good" games

It was Rare making a Zelda game with furries. Much earlier than Okami. And to tell you the truth i have mixed feelings. Probably the game would have been awesome in the N64, but it would have been launched around 2001-2002, and at that it would have sold like fucking shit while the PS2 was gangraping everyone.

>>3664191
I don't really about it anymore. You still technically got the game albeit in a butchered form. I don't think it would have been magically better had it stayed to course. Once you get over the high of the unknown from betas and things of that nature, you realize that one you play 1 N64 Rareware game, you've played them all. >>3664194 literally what he said. Just a Zelda clone with furshit in it.

And had it arrived for N64, it would of course tank in sales by that time period of 2001-2002, and I didn't really like how they tried to squeeze power out of the system just because "muh legacy". Tooie, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark have fuckawful framerates. Imagine Dinosaur Planet. Probably 5 FPS.

And lastly, they began to lose their luster with Conker, so yeah. Wouldn't have mattered either way what they did in the end.

>Tooie, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark have fuckawful framerates. Imagine Dinosaur Planet. Probably 5 FPS.

I don't agree with this. First up, you've included Goldeneye, a game released in 1997, among games released several years later. Secondly, Tooie was rushed for release and somewhat unfinished (witness the sloppy Swap and Stop and the almost-completed-but-cut Bottles' Revenge feature). This probably explains why Tooie seems to keep a stable framerate in many complex scenes but many times has a bad framerate when it is displaying literally nothing. It obviously didn't receive that final important pass of optimization.

Perfect Dark had a tumultuous development (half of the team, the most important Goldeneye people, left through development). They reused the Goldeneye engine with only minor improvements literally because of time restraints. David Doak wanted Rare to make a new and more efficient engine but he left and it never progressed beyond a prototype.

Had Dinosaur Planet been properly refined (and not so much time wasted on literally reprogramming it for a different console) it might have run extremely well. It's not just a matter of "add graphics and it runs slower", work can also be put into optimization. Even Conker which doesn't always run at a good framerate (~20 FPS) displays the kind of advanced graphics that would have caused lesser N64 software to literally run at 5 FPS.

>Want to do at least N64 emulation

Not going to happen. N64 emulation is shit on every single platform. Unless you count Nintendo's in-house emulator on GC / Wii, which is somewhat spotty but works.

>What's an affordable mini PC that can emulate at good speeds?

Just salvage an old desktop and hook it to your TV.

If you really insist on playing N64 ROMs, then consider investing in a used Wii and soft-mod it. You can download Virtual Console WADs off the Internet. But this limits you to whatever N64 games Nintendo has actually made available through their VC service, which is only a handful.

>>3663864
Look, I know n64 emulation is fucked, I'm not trying to emulate anything harder then Mario 64 or Ocarina tho.

>>3663870
Fucking anything will be fine for mainstream N64 games as long as you don't have autism.
Mario 64 is playable on a fucking PSP for crying out loud.
