Fantastic, flawed.
>There are actually people who don't think this is the most comfy piece of plastic one can possibly slip into their hands..
That would be the 360 controller /notretro
But N64 would be pretty comfy if the stick wasn't so wobbly all the time.
Posted the wrong one OP
I don't mind the design at all, but gosh the face buttons did suck.
Cool retro Chinese bootleg trash you can buy today?
I have a lot of Famiclones I've bought for a couple bucks at thrift stores. Paid $4 for one of these the other day but I'd never seen it before. Will pay up to $5 for one of those little handheld firecore mega drives with the sd slot when they start turning up.
As far as stuff you actually have to send away to China for there are some good $5-$7 multicarts especially for famicom if you don't want to cough up $90 for an everdrive and some dinky little dirt cheap (<$10) handheld famiclones with screens that have a lot of built in games.

I'm planning to go to the local flea market this weekend to look for bootlegs like these, is there anything specific that I should avoid?
aliexpress multicarts and repros
There's a ton of different Final Fantasy Tactics mods out there. Even a site and full community.
Any worth playing?
the 1.3 content patch
laggy fantasy tactics
there's also a patch that lets you avoid random battles
one that lets you recruit different classes from soldier offices, along with monsters and adjust their level for a price
>>3477113
Anyone tried adding the FFTA jobs and races? That'd be the shit man.
>>3477132
doubt it
Was pre-crash Atari the best developer ever?
>>3476746
80s Nintendo is the only dev I can think of that might have been stronger.
>>3476749
How the fuck does she play those NES games if she superglued them to her fucking wall.
>>3476758
She dont, shes a model who scoffs at nerds then dates pretty boys.
What's the best emulator for Palm OS? Also where to find the softwares? I am specifically searching for this RPG title called Ackeron. I'm aware there was already a remake for iOS but naturally I'm favoring the original experience.
I hope I never get this deep into retro gaming.
>>3476452
I had some emulator for Windows %%Mobile%%, what games can you advise?
There's only like 2 emulators, it's pretty obscure. I just used Palm OS Emulator which you can get from CNET and used the rom here http://mypalm.ru/cgi-bin/softDown.cgi?/utilit/palmos40-en-m505.zip
Before dragging and dropping the 4 files for Ackeron you need to right click and go to Settings -> Debugging and uncheck everything or it'll yell at you and not let you play the game.
This game is kicking my fucking ass after level 4. Diablo Thread?
Kite
What class are you playing? What equipment do you have? Have you defeated the Butcher or King Leoric?
>>3475837
I'm playing the HD version which has Assassin. The stats are similar to archer, but I've invested in strength and magic mostly. Scimitar and shield, secondary is two-handed big axe with some lightning damage which I hardly use. I have no idea where the butcher is, but I did defeat the skeleton king. Took me half-an-hour and a lot of potions but it felt so rewarding finally beating him.
Just played this today and dear christ...
If I didn't know any better I'd say this was a product of some ironic "let's make a bad European computer conversion" game jam.
>dat sparkly Eurotrash demoscene looking UI
>ratio and scaling of assets all over the goddamn place
>music that's almost there but still off key and off tempo in spots, and often at the wrong tempo from the source material regardless
>physics and gameplay that seem merely eyeballed once or twice and replicated carelessly
General britbong port discussion I guess. Was there a single euro port that didn't suffer from these problems?
>>3475447
Literally why? What about my post wasn't /vr/, idiot? It's not like I shitposted "lawl it sure sucks mirite?" I prompted a discussion about the game, it's specific flaws, and euro conversion flaws. Fuck you.
>>3475447
/v/ doesn't care about Classicvania, the oldest CV they've played is Aria of Sorrow.
Also OP, European computers didn't have any standards, so they just shat out whatever most of the time, which is why Amiga is such a joke.
ITT retro game secrets people wouldn't have found without guides or the internet
>Mario has to defeat a Chomp Chomp and jump three times to make an invisible platform appear
A lot of shit in FF9, actually.
>>3474971
Castlevania 2
Using strength to move the truck and face Mew is possible and has been done, but only via arbitrary code execution.
Why did Miyamoto hate Goldeneye?
Did he?
>>3474571
Then why the giant Pikachu in that screenshot?
Myamoto was always jealous of Rare, they were just better at making fun games than him. He knew this and didnt hide his contempt that well.
Let's have a retro mechs thread, /vr/.
Game in the OP seems neat. What is it?
I like the Assault Suits series a lot (mainly just the first two, haven't played Leynos 2). Metal Storm and especially Ranger X are also awesome.
>>3475945
Looks like android assault for Sega CD. Great game with awesome music
Great DOS games thread?
Most of the threads, here, are about retro console games or post-DOS roguelikes on Windows.
What cool games did people like to play on DOS?
I particularly liked Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen, and Heretic.
Blood
Might and Magic
Commander Keen, Halloween Harry, Monster Bash, Tyrian, Raptor, Dick Kickem 2
>>3473425
Sim Farm!
That reminds me of all the hours I spent playing Sim Ant.
Anyone remember Sim Tower? And Yoot Tower?
>tfw you will never be as good at retro games as Billy Mitchell
That's fine, I'm not a competitive person outside of playing with friends and stuff. I don't take it seriously.
Anybody tried his chili sauce?
Is this a raid?
How good is he at Japanese quiz games?
I just want a console that has solid arcade ports (fighters, racing mostly), horror games and some light RPGs, maybe a decent platformer too.
Never owned a Dreamcast but is that the best choice for me?
ps1.
dreamcast versions of Capcom games were better though.
I don't know. you can't go wrong with a dreamcast though. it's just lacking in the rpg dept but does tick off your other boxes.
>>3472109
either that or genesis, depending what u are into.
genesis got street fighter 2
dreamcast got soul calibur
so pick ur poison
>>3472125
SFII was on everything
Previous thread >>3449898
This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

Eurofag here, I had to use SCART to play NTSC games in color.
A TV I had didn't have a SCART port, meaning I had to play FFT, Kartia, and Persona in monochrome.
>>3471449
SCART has nothing to do with it. It's rather the different color encoding between PAL and NTSC, which is not needed for RGB nor component. It's like saying that you can get component thanks to RCA or RGB thanks to BNC.
Threadly reminder to report and hide anti-SCART poster.
