Everyone talks about the Wii being a great emulation console.

Having hacked my Wii with Homebrew and loading several emulators onto it, I seem to be having issues with it.

There seems to be this annoying laggy judder everytime the screen scrolls. It's more noticeable on SNES9X and Gameboy games.

I get that no emulator is perfect but ZSNES on my PC isn't this shitty.

Is this just how it is? Or do I have to somehow optimise it?

How did this manage to kick off an entire franchise? Its hard as shit and the amount of grinding required to get anything done is mindnumbing.

It's that time again

Welcome to the Retro Game Gauntlet, gentlemen.

Start at NES, and work through in the following order:
NES
SNES
GB/GBC
Megadrive/Genesis
Turbografx16
DOS
NeoGeo
GBA
Commodore 64
Playstation 1

You have three days to complete the game without assistance (each game gets three days, though RPGs are allowed a week due to length).

Select your system here:
http://s3kr.it/gauntlet.html

You can also do it manually if you don't trust the random number generator:
http://s3kr.it/systems/

Rules:
1) Savestates are allowed ONLY for the purpose of taking screenshots and ONLY if your emulator/game in question does not have a pause function.
2) Rerolls are allowed under the following conditions:
-The game you get requires some sort of hardware functionality that cannot be accurately emulated to complete (eg, Boktai)
-The game would otherwise require cheats, hacks, or alteration of the software to complete due to a bug (eg, Cheetahmen II)
For games that have a high score or no end, the rule is
>if no high score has been established, set a goal and beat it
>if you.re playing something another anon already has a high score on, beat their high score
>if you are playing extended rpgs/pokemon/whatever you get a week (Depending on the game: needs to be asked in thread)

AND BRING ME SCREENSHOTS PARKER

Some things to consider:

1. Which is the best classic RE title and why is it RE3?

2. Which is the worst, and why is it CV?

3. Who is best RE waifu? Post your waifus

4. What is your opinion of the Outbreak games? Good/bad? Will they ever return to mass playability?

5. Should original RE be considered obsolete? REmake replicated and improved on it in every possible way.

6. What's your favourite piece of classic RE music?

Feel free to post stories, memories of playing, tips ETC.

If you've never played an RE game before and have an interest in getting into the series, post here! We'll give general advice on gameplay and what versions of games to avoid.

The gaming industry abandoned 2D just a few years too early in the mid 90s for the sake of innovation. Growing up in the 16 bit Generation the next logical step graphically would have been more frames of animation, more precise texture rotation/scaling, higher resolution and fully animated cutscenes with full voice acting. But it never happened. Even when playing new games like DOOM I imagined how good multi perspective sprite enemies advancing would look with more frames and angles.

This is was most apparent to me with the US saturn release, as they canned most the 2D projects in favor of cobbled together, half finished 3D games. I kept asking "why no 2.5D sonic on the saturn? To which the industry replied "Thats not the game you really want, here have this grainy, pixelated model that is barely distinguishable from the background"

Yeah 2D was still around but it didn't evolve in the obvious direction and by the next gen it was completely forgotten. It became niche very quickly.

Now we have all turned to the lazy indieshit market for elaborate early access tech demos disguised as full games. Anybody get where Im coming from?

ITT: submit enemy sprites for an Earthbound romhack, part 2

Submit any PNG that is 16 colors and at most 128x128.
When making a sprite, keep in mind the following
>These sprites can only have 16 colors total, that includes a color that will be counted as transparent
>The only 128x128 battle sprite in the vanilla game is The Devil's Machine, otherwise known as Giygas phase 1. Most large enemies are only 64x64, and small things like ramblin' evil mushrooms are 32x32.
>you can skip the process of making the file itself have the right color depth, I will handle that.
>make the background a distinct color (not transparent) from the rest of the sprite.
>be sure to claim the enemy slot before someone else beats you to the punch.
When you submit a sprite
>filename is the enemy number you're submitting for
>post text is the new enemy name.
>there is a limit to namesize, but it's based on the width of the text and not a character limit. Just use logic and assume that "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" probably won't fit.

Think of this like a mosaic thread, only it's gonna be in an interactive Role Playing Game
If this attracts enough attention, I (we) may even go through the trouble of changing attack text, enemy stats, and other flavor text associated with the new rogues gallery
