is there any way I can play GameBoy games in color using mednafen?
I tried
gb.system_type agb
and
gb.system_type cgb
neither worked

Use a better emulator.

nice meme, I asked for mednafen
Favorite cheats thread
If you set lives to "0" at the options screen you begin with 99 lives
>do traditional Konami code
>self destruct costing a life
>>3417151
I downloaded a complete genesis romset the other day. Thunder Force 2 and 3 don't work, and 4 is obviously hacked because it asks if I want to start with unlimited lives when I start it up. Never played the real version, need to download it from somewhere else
>set age as 99 in options
>pick female character
>enjoy
This was my favorite game when I was 13
Sega Saturn vs. Neo Geo AES
Which video game console was better for 2D arcade games?
Neo Geo has decidedly more powerful 2D specs but there are more 3rd party titles available on Saturn. Neo Geo IS 2D arcade hardware while the Saturn runs ports of arcade games. They're good for the time, but they're still ports.
I'd say the AES due to carts (no load times).
But Saturn has a better library.

>Neo Geo has decidedly more powerful 2D specs
lol
Not even close. Excuse the pun, but Saturn runs rings around the AES.
The only advantage AES has is fast cartridges that data can be quickly streamed off without the system needing much RAM.
Thoughts?
I've only played Paperboy 2 but it's one of my favorite SNES games. Love how you can vandalize the non-subscribers without penalty. You can even drop a car on someone and they will stay subscribed, just don't break their windows
I really wanted to be good at the arcade version when I was little but I sucked then I killed myself to become mediocre at the NES version. I got the Genesis version and quickly became a beast. It made me feel good but I suspect it was just easier and all the arcade versions had vanished by then so I was never able to put it to the test.

Damn I need to replay this. My friend and his little brother had this which inspired them to save up news papers and chuck them at their neighbors houses.
I see a lack of retro music, lets fix that.

What is /vr/ nostalgic for?
The past?
Nostalgia is mainly based in the interesting quirk of the human brain that happy memories are much more easily accessed than unhappy ones
When understood, this can allow for not just pleasant reminiscing but also to guide one toward a happier day to day life
When misunderstood, it can lead to paralyzing depression.

Lay off the weed for a while
Never owned a NES, so I'm making up for missed opportunities.
Gonna play Mega Man and Metroid mostly.
Are all the classic Mega Mans worth playing? All of the X series looks fantastic, but I figure I should start with the beginning.
Also what is the best NES emulator?
Start with MM2 and play the first later. It's good too, but 2 is much better as a first game.
Also there's a wiki on the sticky for Emus.
>>3416801
What makes the 2nd so better as to be worth playing it before 1? Will the story be confusing at all?
ALl the classic mega mans are worth playing, but there's a noticeable drop in quality starting with 4.
X1 is the best of the X games, and each entry afterward gets exponentially worse than the last.
>ITT Refurbish Thread
Hey anons, a while back i managed to grab a gb sp 101 from a fleamarket (for 10 bucks - wohoo!), it's great but the case/ shell is totally scratched.
Now i was looking around on the web for new cases, but all i can find are the ones on aliexpress in the same colors over and over again.
Are there any good sites where they have a bigger variety for the cases? Maybe even the backsticker with '101'? Or even some sweet custom buttons to make it look nice? Something i am not even thinking about?
You are welcom to join with your refurbishing quest, or show off your finished products

relax, it's only for gb classic games... :^)

You didn't miss much. I've got a similar one though. I was afraid of the over the shoulder Bellsprout sprite because I thought it looked too unnatural. Convinced myself that it was weak anyway and I didnt need to bother using it.
what was the first game ever to have a 'sound test' feature?
was it actually Kirby's Dreamland?
No, Castlevania III has one, and that game came out in '89.
Space Invaders
>>3416621
the first Ninja Gaiden has that beat. '88 for that.
Very odd thread, but what are some of your favorite 640x480 games? Really curious about playing games at their native res on my Philips 109B but not sure where to begin.
>>3416591
Starcraft 1, Diablo 1, Quake 1, Fallout 1... this and that 1, basically.
>>3416591
>Diablo 1
Not Diablo II?
>>3417165
If I recall correctly D2 does run in 800 x 600 mode, though with 640 by 480 still available. And D1 is straight up just a better game in my opinion, so there.
HALP!! /vr/
which games were exclusive to the Arcade and never got a console release?

the AvP arcade game never saw a home port as far as Im aware. That was a good one

About a zillion arcade titles from the golden age
The other Irem beat 'em ups were arcade only too, except for Undercover Cops which had a watered down SFC port.
Any love for Spiderweb software games? I've been playing them recently and absolutely adore them.
Yeah I love the Geneforge games.
>>3416442
Huge fan of the Exile games, although I didn't like the Avernum remakes/updates so much.
Could never really get into Geneforge. I can't put my finger down on something I don't like about it, but it just never really caught my interest.
I think that some of the fan made Blades of Exile games (in particular, the ones made by Alcritas) are legitimately in the top 10 CRPGs ever. Maybe I'm nuts, but I would put Falling Stars ahead of any game in the Ultima series.
I loved the two first Exile games, but never could get into the third. The fact you have a limited time to do the main quest kinda ruined it to me.
Never tried the newer ones, though.
Just playing through Chrono Trigger again for the first time in a few years and realized I had forgotten how godly the soundtrack to this game is. What are some other underated soundtracks from the snes era?

...what the fuck are you talking about?
Here have a real underrated soundtrack, Treasure of the Rudras.

Good stuff. I meant more underrated (or more accurately( forgotten by me. I know a lot of people like it, but I was amazed by how much it just pops out at you. Like I said, it's been a while since I played through it.

>What are some other underated

You don't use the word underrated and chrono trigger in the same sentence
