Revengers of Vengeance
yeah, I saw that thread too

I had some fun with it back in the day.
what a title
>Anything but Tangerines
What did he mean by this?
Jim used to refer to chinks as tangerines.
It's the actual name of the planet.

EWJ is a mysterious game
Which one of these franchises in your opinion is better and why and what do you think the best game of both is? I never got into either of these series and I'm looking to start.
Aside from controlling a ninja they're not really similar.
i've never played gaiden but definitely check out revenge of shinobi
Shinobi shits all over ninja gayden.
What are your favorite retro rhythm games? Pic obviously unrelated.

My uncle was going through stuff at my grandmother's house and gave me some boxes of his old games that have been sitting untouched in storage for 15 years. I'm guessing I should clean them before trying to play them? What should I use to clean them with? I don't have any video game specific cleaning stuff on hand.
He said this was a small part of whats there but he's still digging stuff out to get rid of and told me he'd let me know if he found the rest of his nes games and his 16 bit stuff.
Cotton swabs with isopropyl alcohol (do not get it on the labels) for the metal contacts. For the outer plastic shell, I use Pine-Sol diluted with water (be very careful with the label, dry it off fast).
Yall aint probably have to do shit nigga...
Just plug that shit in and see if it done work
>>3570397
This. Very simple and effective. Any computing or hardware store should have 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Other than the fact that Dracula himself is way too easy, I don't understand all the hate.
It's a meme. Simon's Quest is good. It's inferior to Faxanadu, but it's good.
>>3570184
With the original translation there are certain things like kneeling with the crystal that are ridiculous to expect people to figure out on their own. I had to ask a guy in my class and he only knew because of Nintendo Power.
All that said, it's my favorite classicvania, among my favorite NES games and pretty much always has been. Opinions are never universal.
>>3570184
It's really boring. Zelda II and Mario II were different, but they were still a lot of fun. Simon's Quest is just a chore. It's not very difficult, it's padded out to all hell, graphically-speaking it looks pretty bad, and with so few challenges or any real sense of urgency there's not much point in playing it. The soundtrack is pretty great though.
Does /vr/ any interdasting homemade vidya inspired decorations?

>>3569908
I don't know if it's interdasting or not, i have two paintings made by my mom, about ICO and Kolibri.
>>3569960
Sounds neat. Have any pics? Curious to see what she came up with.
>>3569973
I don't know, it's just two paintings of the covers of both games anyways.
>that game you really like that you cannot convince any of your friends to play, and if they do play it, they don't like it
Post 'em.
My friends temble at my will, if I demand they play a game they play it
If I tell them they enjoyed it, they enjoy it
All fighting games
My friends are all normies who only like FPS and co op multiplayer games
>>3569818
It seems like everyone who has no experience with the genre thinks every fighting game is about doing insanely precise infinite combos all the time and has no desire to even try something on Fightcade. It's upsetting.
I bought a copy of Final Fantasy VII and it has a fucked Disc 1. I can't play past the intro segment where you blow up the thing. Disc 1 has tiny little bumps right at the edge of the disc where it must have been knicked. The other discs don't have that damage. It's too late to return it. I could try to sell it but that would just be a dishonest passing of the buck. I can't find anyone selling only Disc 1's online.
Is there anything I can do here or am I just screwed?
>>3569732
the bottom surface is simply clear plastic while the top of the disc with the printed logo and whatnot actually has the data encoded onto the bottom layer. if it's just the plastic that is damaged it can be resurfaced.
>>3569732
Try switching disks to disk 2 or 3 before the explosion cutscene. It will play the wrong FMV but should allow progress.
Also I wouldn't normally say this but FFVII is probably better emulated so you can use savestates to save on the map screen and avoid missing shit by accidentally cutting off areas by advancing the story too fast, and also so you can re-do story scenes and dialogue with different answers/different characters in the party
it's also a lot easier to see materia and shit on the maps when you're not playing on a CRT
someone is probably going to come in and say how everything I just said is bullshit and I'm not a real gamer, but you don't need to take wizards seriously
I also use the fast-forward function in emulator to skip summon animations and enemy turns when I know the battle is already over. Literally playing through this game right now.
Does anyone own of those devices that can play music from retro machines using actual hardware from those machines?
I know there are a few. This one is the GIMIC and it lets you attach sound modules that have sound chips from various older devices. You can either use it as a hardware synth, or use it to play sound files.
http://gimic.net/index.php?Getting%20Started%20with%20G.I.M.I.C
>The G.I.M.I.C is a modular chiptune sound generating system: It can be loaded with various modules with sound chips that were employed in home computers and arcade games through the 80s and 90s.
>By exchanging modules, it can emulate a range of chiptune sound systems. Currently, OPN3-L, OPNA, OPM, and OPL3 are available as sound chip modules.

>>3569591
In my opinion it's generally better to buy a flashcart and use a player to play the music. It probably costs only slightly more and you get the added benefit of being able to play other roms on the system. The type of set up in your picture works with the YM chips because they're all so similar. Other chips might not be compatible because of different form factors/setups. eg: I fucking dare you to put a SID6581 in a C64 board meant for the 8580. (please don't because it will destroy the SID and they're getting really hard to find).
I know of a few live performance roms for the genesis that can be used with a MIDI controller but I don't know them off the top of my head.
>>3569754
But that's not even a Yamaha chip like all those listed! It's a very useful aberration that such a range of devices used yamaha FM chips.
No OPZ listed though, that's unfortunate. I think some people would like that because it was used in synthesizer keyboards - popular ones, I'm under the impression. Though there was a keyboard with an OPL2 chip too, but OPZ was early with multiple waveform type FM synth.
No OPL4 either. They presumably didn't make many of those. That's a bit of a limit to "using it as a hardware synth", together with the previous.
But besides that, we're left with, what, the general midi chips, amiga sound system and SNES chip? Those aren't even synthesizer chips! Is the SID even one? It's sort of a PSG, eh?
>>3569591
If China made a MT-32 clone with a butter DAC. I would buy it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_MT-32#Sound_quality_problems
I own an overclocked Raspberry Pi 2.
It runs PS1 games quite well, yet 3D DOS games like Daggerfall and Carmageddon work like shit under Dosbox. Will upgrading to RPI 3 fix my problem? How is the performance of N64 and Dreamcast on RPI3? Can I buy some better microcomputer for my purposes? What do you use for emulation? Inb4 500W PC tower.
>>3569468
RPi 3 still won't do it.
Get an x86 board such as http://www.jaguarboard.org/index.php/products/product_show/jaguarboard-industry-first-x86-based.html

THANK YOU FAGGOT
Hey dudes, I'm almost done I think with my doom map, I just dont know what to do past this part (pic related)
I want it to curve back around to the red room (after the large room with the switch in the top right opens a gate, unlocking the dead end beneath it) but I dont have any ideas for what to fit into that spot
here's the map DL link, tell me what you think I should do
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yhvaqjpmr3s8jtn/spacedadstation.wad?dl=0
What do you guys recommend using for cataloging your games? I'd like a website that has a companion app or something, for ease of use.
I believe the two most popular websites are vgcollect and backloggery.
>>3568862
>backloggery
Thanks, I'll check them out. There is a decent app I used called My Game Collection but it is only available as a mobile app which is kind of shitty because I have tons of games and it takes forever to type on a phone for me.
vgcollect works fine
Recommend me the most bright and colorful games on gen 3 and 4 consoles
Adventure Island series
A personal favorite in this category
>top 10 PlayStation games list
>#1 Metal Gear Solid
>top 10 N64 games list
>#1 Ocarina of Time
Every single time. I'm not denying those are great games, but would it kill them to have more variety?
>>3568235
Oh, it's this thread again. I think it's been about 4 whole months since this was last posted?
If those lists bother you, what makes you think discussing them here will be anything better?
Sage, ignore, etc.
>>3568235
>Why won't the best be something that's not the best?
>>3568235
Think of it like this; something has to be number 1, but this is a subjective thing, and if it's not something critically acclaimed and super popular then it'll just piss everyone off. Might as well just have the most popular high rated game at the top to keep the largest number of people happy, this way even the hipsters will understand "well, it's to keep everyone happy."
A more modern example; Skyrim being at the top of everyone's best of lists. Is it the best? Fuck no. Is it critically acclaimed? Super popular? Guaranteed to appease the most people? Yes on all fronts.
I mean what would you have for N64 though? Treasure stuff? Sin and Punishment? I guarantee no normies would have heard of that shit. But Ocarina? Oh yeah, I grew up with that, great memories! 10/10!
