Never heard of it, but it looks pretty solid to me. I would imagine a lot of games would be better played on a big screen, but it looks like a decent portable option. My main concern would be build quality in the long-term.

you'd better go for a vita and henkaku

I have it.
I really like how it's done.
no gps or camera though, and a few chinese shovelware preinstalled (just uninstall them first).

my cousins had it. their parents (my aunt and uncle) spoke very well of it, and were very disappointed when it was discontinued

I used a free trial. Worked great. What a cool idea.

One of my childhood friends had it at one point. I believe I saw him play the Wily Wars version of MegaMan 3 on it.

You have falled OP.

I tried getting Soul-Calibur 2 in FFIX once. I was one hour late, then I realized there was a trick to skip FMVs and that I was playing on a lower PAL version, which means I would totally have gotten it in the real version of the game.

There's a button code for invincibility, you know.

>Regret not paying the extra $10-20 for a quality game because Starshot fucking sucks balls.

Well...Can Kid Chameleon be considered a Mario clone?

BROS for the Atari 8 Bit is...interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4shac02_ks

Love the Mario "UGH!"

Gradius III™ on SNES is a blast to play. It kicks everyone's ass. Gradius III™ on SNES is arguably superior to the arcade version. It has an incredible OST and is super far-out.

Fun game I've had since childhood. Still haven't been able to beat it because you pretty much have to 1cc it. Compared to other horizontal shmups, it's shortcomings are noticeable. Darius Force is my go-to horizontal.

The slowdown makes it a chore in some places, but it's a much more reasonable game than the notoriously difficult arcade version. That said, I do still find the arcade version an interesting game, and its hardcore players are amazing.

I absolutely hate the names of these, but these are excellent guides. I am going to make a variation of one in the near future, changing the name obviously

i bought a raspberry pi 3 to make an emulation station actually.

but while it was in delivery i got my psp and put all the emulators on it, + i got the psp-tv cable, so now psp is my ultimate emulation machine.

i guess i'll use the raspberry as a home theatre/nas

For now.

Yes. Metroid killed him.

Yes. And it should stay dead.

Nintendo isn't very well in the head nowadays and I don't a Master of Disguise 2.0.

This isn't Super Mario RPG, so why would you even do that?

>>3422370
Because I just want to keep attacking so I keep pressing the A button. Or I used to until I noticed it makes me miss more.

>>3422373
Be more scientific. Run some experiments and record your results. You'll probably find it's just an internal bias rather than a real effect; however, it would be really interesting if it's true.

> The Secret of Monkey Island
Most charming, best puzzles.
The original EGA version is the one to play for extra animations, less smudgy visuals and the original minimalistic flava. The versions remade with CD Audio and 256 color graphics are fine though

> LeChuck's Revenge
Best detail, atmosphere, story and freedom (and awesome endgame)
Any version will do, they're all nearly identical (but not every version has a "lite" puzzles mode)

If you must have voice acting, the Special Editions of the first two in "classic mode" will do nicely

> Curse of Monkey Island
Great production values in general, and OK game overall; more than worth playing, but definitely not the best

>>3422315

The atmosphere of MI2 is incredible, few things come anywhere close. Maybe Donkey Kong Country 2.

The new editions suck. 1991 LeChuck's Revenge is the best adventure game in history, and will be for decades.

>The original EGA version is the one to play for extra animations

And extra stuff that was later cut like the stump joke. Also, that delicious AdLib and MT-32 music. Did I mention dat Mark Ferrari's dithering?

The final fantasy origins version is just fine, but if you really want to play the NES version look into this rom hack

Don't play the NES version of FF1. A lot of the mechanics don't work as intended or are plain broken and almost none are beneficiary.

PS1 are closer to the NES versions
GBA are easy mode (which is good for II but bad for I imo)

>six pokefag threads up
we getting raided by /vp/ autists?

>>3421993
What, I can't bring up these game because some Pokemon threads are up?

>>3421993
FYI, there are three. Don't just look at ctrl+f.

>>3421960

In most regards it's a masterpiece.

Also, I have no idea how they managed to give some run down military base in Alaska one of the best atmospheres of any game.

Is it still worth playing this game today?

to me it was amazing when I played it as a kid and I still love it, my favourite in the series by far
I remember feeling really down during sniper wolf's and gray fox's deaths
not much replay value for me though (that goes for most mgs games I played)

I do remember not being crazy about certain parts of the game (reheating the card, finding the sniper, endless stairs with guards)

Because physical button addons for smartphones have so little support that nobody wants to invest in making a high quality one.

Cause its shit design. Handhelds dont need to be in two fucking parts. Ds and 3ds get a pass cause they fold, but they still are not as ergonomic as any gameboy or psp or vita. Someone needs to make a case you slide your phone into, buttons on each side and a hole for the screen

>>3421939
There are controllers like that already.

Well MS can't run Sonic properly, so they made two great games with its expects in mind instead of two crappy straight ports, seems like a good move to me. They're designed more like traditional platformers MS can handle.

>>3421871
>expects
specs*

I'd rather have unique games than ports, OP.

>>3421791

Older CRTs are all over the place. I got mine at a yard sale for 30 bucks.

>>3421791
>How do so many people here have 240p RGB CRTs? I can barely find any that have RGB, and the ones that do are huge and 480p.
What have you found that is exclusively 480p? AFAIK, just about any PVM will do 240p.

>>3422505
Or are you confusing RGB with Component? Either way, there's a CRT thread for this
