ITT: We trigger /vr/ pic related: my emulator of choice.

Mine too if its compatible enough with the rom

I mean I use it too. Cause laziness.

>zsnes
>triggering

yyyyeah...how is that triggering again?

>>3637470
Just suggest it in any emulation thread. You'll see.

>>3637473
There is an emulation thread and someone mentioned it. No one looked triggered.

>>3637473
Point is, Zsnes is fine. The people that have a problem with it usually make themselves look like tools. My own experience with it has always been positive. Never have I had a problem with it. If a rom didn't work, I found a different copy and it ran just fine.

but thats a superior emulator

I play games I enjoyed during my youth for fun.

>>3637505
I mean you know. I was here all summer.

>>3637438
I like ZSnes.

But i rarely use emulation

>>3637504
This.
Literally the only reason you're going to want an accurate emulator is for speedrunning, and if you're speedrunning, why aren't you just using actual hardware?

Retro games can age. A great game has a niche, something that it does better than everyone else. As more games copy it, its niche becomes smaller and smaller until it becomes completely outclassed, and there's nothing it does that other games don't do better.

In fact, all retro games have aged. Badly, in most cases. There's really no reason to play Super Mario Bros when New Super Mario Bros exists, or Ocarina of Time when its sequels exist.

I don't browse 4chan without a filter.

There's no need to learn Japanese. All good retro games are already translated in a form superior to the Japanese version.

>>3637438
Good for you, OP. It's not my or anyone else's problem that games will run with additional glitches or even worse, that the emulator will crash because of emulation bugs. It'll only be an annoyance for yourself, not to me or others who're using Bsnes or Snes9X and even the ones I named here aren't always the best for the occasion.

What, did you expect me to insult you or to take your bait?

>>3638075
You know you're meant to update your shit, right?

>>3637438
You liking it isn't what triggers people. It's claiming blatantly false shit like it being superior to snes9x or bsnes that drives this board into a frenzy. But even so I haven't seen much fighting over zsnes since like a year after this board was made, much easier to just spam /tv/ and /pol/ memes now that the mods don't give a fuck.

Yeah, you're right, I should update Zsnes!

Oh wait, their last update was 10 years ago. Welp, guess we're stuck like that.

>>3638101
This. Maybe some people just make too much of a deal in discussions but the blatant shitposting from other boards that are even worse than /v/ (which isn't that terrible nowadays IMO) makes me wonder why I'm still here at times. Good thing there can be some interesting discussions at times as long as it isn't about old shitposting topics like "dur brand X is better than brand Y" or "original hardware or bust".

Super Mario Bros. is a fast-paced action arcade style platformer with tight controls that feel good when you play. New Super Mario Bros. are long, drawn-out, tedious floaty platformers with slippery controls that take forever to beat a level. Except for Super Luigi U. At least as far as the tedious part goes, the controls are even more slippery.

Super Mario Bros. is a 10 out of 10 game.

The New Super Mario Bros. games range between 5 and 7 out of 10.

/vr/ doesn't really give a fuck on what you use, unless you start being an obnoxious faggot about it.

/v/ on the other hand...

Hey /Vr,

Me and my wife were playing Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest on our Retron™ 5 the other day and she said it reminded her of games like Shovel Knight and UNDERTALE. She explained how graphics and gameplay were similar and we tried to define what retro is. For her it's style, for me it's age. I think the board should define retro once and for all in a non arbritary manner.

So now that the dust has settled, if we're going by age we should consider six gen retro. Dreamcast is already allowed so we should do the same for GBA and PS2. I mean it's all or nothing, some people would feel the PSX is not retro because it brought cutscenes to gaming, PS2 is no different, it's old enough and its games have already aged, otherwise they wouldn't remake them for modern consoles.

If we're going by style, then we should be able to talk about games like UNDERTALE here, because it's retro styled. I mean look at it on that CRT, it's how me and my wife play it. What do you think?

>>3637878
... but you're wrong though, retard.

You're willfully ignoring the artistic differences and how that might affect how people perceive the game, for one.

Not to mention how they differ in physics, mechanics, and level design.

NSMB is not a replacement for SMV and I feel dumb for even dignifying what (you) said.

>>3637878
This post got me. You win the thread.

PS1 games may have been alright at the time but they are completely unplayable in 2016 due to their bad graphics, framerate issues, and bad draw distance. Same shit goes for the Sega Saturn, N64 gets a pass though because there are some seriously revolutionary games on that thing.

Ikaruga is the best shmup ever made.

The NES library is almost pure shit, even most of the "good" ones because they rely on trial and error artificial difficulty bullshit that would never be accepted a few generations later and for good reason.

The sega Saturn was the worst console that sega has ever produced.

2d was the cancer era of gaming history. glad it's over.

Super Nintendo was the start of casualisation for Nintendo, real hardcore gamers moved onto PC Engine and Mega Drive instead.

I think video games are a waste of time and money and you should all invest in a Kindle.

Yeah, a Kindle sounds nice.

Hey, if you order one on Cyber Monday you can get the most basic model for like $50.

Pirating books is super easy. I have like nine hundred books on mine, and most of 'em are straight from TPB.

It's acceptable if you're playing on a Pentium II running 98SE. I don't see any reason to use it other than nostalgia or just for messing around on ancient hardware. I mean it was an amazing emulator for its time but modern systems can run much more accurate emus.

Speaking of which, has ZMZ ever been updated?

>>3639613
Pretty much this its just outdated and far superior emulators have come along.

>Speaking of which, has ZMZ ever been updated?
Has not received an update since 2013 as far as I am aware.

>>3639286
Now thinking about it I haven't seen that guy in about a week. Did he give up or have mods started cracking down on shitposting for the one time they do every year?
