I don't remember any platforming in RE
or fixed camera angles and tank controls in any metroidvania

>>3660462
By your logic then doom is a metroidvania, as well as every rpg ever made.

>>3660462
Devil May Cry is closer to Metroidvania. I think the action game element is more important. In RE you aren't dodging a bunch of bats and its not as arcadey.

Oh no. My entire ego was propped up on this one lie that I kept telling myself over and over. But you have made it irrefutable to me.
I must sudoku

>>3660328
Super Mario 64 style isn't selectable either. SM64 must not really be a Mario game.

If its aint a mario game why is it included in japanese allstars

Just buy a pre-modded one then, don't fry the fucking thing.

That's my first mod on a console, the hardest by far and, my god, that was scary... And I have my fair share of mods under my belt.

Just get some sacrificial boards with smd chips on it, I used old controller boards from broken hardisks I had around and practice leg lifting.

It's kinda easy but takes firm pulse the first time:

1º) Try to wedge a xacto blade between the pin you want to lift and the next.

2º) Touch the chip leg, touch it do not push it down, just lay the solder on it and let the heat transfer and melt the solder.

3º) Start to apply pressure to the blade and wait to the chip leg to move and lift it from the board.

4º) Straitgh it with a flat noosed plier and you are good to go.

The most difficult ones are the region protection chip and the PPU1, the onther is easier because the leg you need to lift it's on the side and it's easy to lift with the blade.

Use a small set of wire cutters to cut the pin. Or desolder it.

Give Brigandine (PS1) a look, that's pretty good.

>>3660158
Thanks, I'll check it out.

>>3660148
Check Dune 2.

ossc

Just buy a used dvdo. Or whatever that new one is with an assortment or letters. That one.

this has been curated by reddit for some time. game charts are still the best, and the people at 8ch have been doing a great job making those charts.

>We need our own wiki
No we don't. Just form your own taste. It's not like /vr/ will ever reach consensus on most games anyway.

NES emulator and rom.

alite is pretty decent

Alite I'd say, Oolite outside of mobile.

>>3660352
Most of the mobile ones run on FCEUX, which last I checked can do everything beautifully except Elite. It's one of those games you test an emu with.

>>3660021
More like Castlevania II was.

Fun game honestly. A little short.
Fuck the boss rush at the end though.

Konami had made The Maze of Galious in 1987.

It probably works just fine, sega genesis' are pretty durable, much more so than nintendo systems at the time. Get the obvious games first, the sonic titles, castlevania, contra, it'll give you a good feel for what to expect on the system. Also, judging from how fucking filthy that thing is, the cartridge slot has probably seen some neglect. Use some isopropyl alcochol on a cartridge's pins, rapidly insert and remove it from the system and clean it off - should be working well after that.

>>3659971
It probably does work, nice hi def model btw.
It depends on what you like to play but a few great games are the streets of rages, splatterhouses, gunstar heroes,raiden trad, truxton, ristar, turtles hyperstone heist, caste of illusion, beyond oasis, crusader of centy, musha, all the shinobi's, tin head, rocket knight, sparkster, castlevania bloodlines, phantasy star, shining in the darkness, el viento, batman, Michael jacksons moonwalker, trouble shooter, the Disney games, the outrun games, ghouls n ghosts, and if you have never played it sonic.
Lots of good shit, 700+ game library.

That was just a sample image I got off Google, but mine is still a High Definition model and just as dirty. Thanks for the recommendations though! Pic is the actual console I got.

Was thinking of picking up some third party cords/controller/cheap crappy game from a game store tomorrow just to test the thing.

>classic games that are multiplayer
>people still play
There's largely only one game that fits that so long as you're using sourceports, Doom.

>>3659941
Ultima Online still have people playing, same goes for Everquest and Diablo. Sure there's many more out there. Old online games still going strong are fascinating to me

>>3659665
australia should have an answer for you by morning

play cave games.
there designed to make you feel like you're better than you are

>>3659665
Try using the analog stick instead

Load times.

>>3659646
Nintendo did use floppy diskettes in Japan.

They are way, way, way less reliable than carts, so they were not suitable for the American market.

They did try it with the Famicom Disk System.

Also, cartridges are much sturdier than disks, which is good for everyone, but especially for kids who made up a large portion of the userbase.

the wii is wanted for 240p

>do SNES and N64 games look tolerable on a HDTV from a Wii with component cables
No.
>To put it differently, does SNES from a Wii look better on a HDTV than SNES from a SNES with Framemeister?
No.

Just buy a CRT that accepts component.

if you aren't outputting at the TVs native resolution, you are not going to be getting good results, there will be a lot of processing and lag resulting from that.

>>3659514
play the remake

and don't play space quest 6 under any circumstances

>>3659514
>>3659532
also you're gonna need the manuals: https://mega.nz/#!nM1l3SRS!x2j1HU5MMi29RP8FQlKbarXu771B93GowGcDa3TW1ZU

I'm inclined to say no.

I kind of want to say these have aged badly in some ways, but King's Quest was less logical and more sadistic.

Hook the component input into the vcr. Then, reroute the composite back out and into an HDMI upscaler converter. Then route that through an HDMI to component converter, then component to Rd and then out to your TV.

RF sorry

Just buy one of these.

Going through VCR's is finnicky as fuck and from my experience doesn't work too well.
