This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".Helpful links:Game Tech WikiEmulation General Wiki
Post your Saturn top 3. Wrong answers will be accepted.>Battle Garegga>Layer Section>Panzer Dragoon Zwei (honorable mention to the music from PD1)
>>10889153Clockwork Knight 2That's it.
>Radiant Silvergun>Enemy Zero>BaroqueI still got a LOT of the Saturn library to really sink into, only just got a Model 2 and Fenrir combo recently. Battle Garegga looks great, I actually got the PS4 Shottriggers physical, but I wonder if the Saturn original is still worth playing anyway. Also I wish Wachenroder's translation was all done

>>10897307>janky DDP portWhat's janky about it?Just curious.
>>10901289You already got the better version so there's no point getting Saturn Garegga, unless you're a collectorfag.
There is a $99 clone of the DE-10 Nano now, less than half what an official DE-10 Nano costs.Will still need testing to see if it's a 1:1 replacement for an official DE-10 Nano, things such as RAM or analog timings, especially for more complex cores like the PSX, Saturn, or N64, are at most risk for having issues if it's not cloned as well, but otherwise it could severely slash the costs of building a MiSTer if it's the same performance an official board.
>>10902103>plug it into a crt and turn it on without so many adaptersThere is an IO board for mister with composite adapter built in if that's what you mean. I recently got one and it's very sleek. >>10902083I guarantee you there would be people believing that "real de10 is more accurate".
>>10902263This seems to be an aliexpress type of business from the start, I imagine that's the lowest it can go for now.
>>10902736>FPGA is the FUTUREWonderful, we will get into FPGA with $100 boards.All those burgers who bought them at $600 must not seethe. It seemed a fair price at the time, you bragged about having disposable money, so you disposed it. I can understand it might be disappointing, but let's not seethe against people living in less rich countries.>inb4 you are poor chileanI'm in Italy, and while I have a good wagecuck paycheck, none of my money is disposable.
>>10902785>All those burgers who bought them at $600 must not seetheOnly 230 of those 600 was the main board that got cloned, the full sandwich will now go for 470 I guess
>>10902787>Only 230 of those 600 was the main board that got cloned, the full sandwich will now go for 470 I guessFuck, I admit I am a poor retardThat's.... still too much for playing old games in the evening... at least for meI'm still happy that new technologies can be bought for cheaper, so more frens can be happy

>>10902618HehMonkey
Loading Heretic with Stylish Hell sure hits different.
Can any GZDoommonkeys tell me if there are potential performance problems for GZDoom if tries to read particularly large language files? Or can I make those as big as I want with no worries?
>>10902767did i hear gzdoom
The Lion King is one of the best games of all time but most people quit on the second level because of the "difficulty" of double jumping
>>10902769Is it too hard for a kid to figure out? Any anons witness smart kids beating this?
>>10902771I never beat it as a kid because I got stuck on this level.
>>10902779Try again as an adult! You'll feel like a GOD!
Even as an adult it's going to take a few attempts unless you've already memorized the game.
Even if you manage to beat this, the endeavor from it and the stuff that comes before it with the hippos and monkeys also being a pain in the ass just takes it out of you. I just turn it off regardless.It's like the game tells you upfront how much of an asshole it's gonna be and it's like "ok" *switch off*

>>10902665You did switch to Vulkan, yeah? Some shaders are stupidly demanding, too.
>>10902665typical gajin piggu, keeps wanting more & more for cheaper and gets angry
>>10901386>>10901387>>10901389i dont think anybody has ever attempted to emulate saturn as far as i know.i tried it once by putting that bootleg sampler into my external dvd drive with an emulator open, but iirc it barely loaded.
>>10902606Doesnt alliance have an android port?
>>10902401>>10902484>most accuracyinaccurate emulators can perfectly play pokemon blue, 6 golden coins, metroid 2 and the rest of the most popular cartridgesreal hardware (and FPGA if without bugs) is for edge cases and development... if your game code expects every hardware and timing quirkthe other thing is input latency and a RK3326 is enough to run preemptive frames on the systems it already runs wellanalogue pocket is a little interesting, more interesting would be youtube videos showing it succeeding where retroarch fails
Trying to tally up a list of fan translations currently in progress, anybody care to add to it?Off the top of my head - not a complete list.

>>10902750>Board related to Retro video games>Whuh why are you doing shit related to retro video games?!has curated work on this site died so much to the point faggots like you are all that there is left or am I just the lucky fuck who logs on when you fags do.
>>10902726>Kowloon's Gate, PSXI didn't know there was a game based on this. IncredibleNice list, OP.
>>10902726For PC-98, a few are (were?) being worked on:NecronomiconDragon Knight IVGiten Megami TenseiBrandish 3
>>10902750Yeah, wtf. Fuck you OP. Literally ruining my life and this board
>>10902753My point is, these are all presumably independent projects not tied to each other, I don't know why you'd collate them when there's not going to be a consistent thread through them.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OJFPyVWKPMI&It is now possible and a total game changer. Pretty impressive for ps1 games.
>>10900704based, fuck purists
>>10902697Then you're an idiot
>>10902739No, I can just aim without relying on aimbots, unlike you.
>>10902783Yeah you just rely on emulator hacks from 20 years after the game came out instead
>>10902791The fuck are you talking about? Take your meds. I'm not OP, I play console FPS with a controller and with the aim assist disabled in the game settings. Because I can aim.
If you had to use only one (1) controllerfor all your gamesfor the rest of Lifewhat controller would it be?
>>10902406Mine rumbles.
If we could get a revision to fix the sticks and Z and C button's mapping this would be my favorite controller.
>>10902398You forgot to mention that it has gyro, it's great when emulating PS1/PS2 first person shooters, or even when you want to play classic PC shooters from your couch
Step aside, babbies
>>10902398Too bad they renamed "Select" and "Start" to "sHaRe" and "oPtIoNs", which makes it mega-gay, and probably will prevent it to be remembered as the Greatest Joypad Ever Made By Mankind(it's my go-to choice for PC gaming. Xbox is even more mega-gay)
Have you ever bought anything from Limited Run?
>>10902308Ironically, the soundtrack CDs that came with it WERE pressed!>>10902339I love those, especially Klonoa 2
>>10899945rent free
>>10899913No, I don't buy bootlegs.
No my hobby is playing video games not buying plastic shit>>10902339This is cute
>>10902339Wahoo!
>ruins your desire to game
>>10902672Not really. Maybe hesitant to send secure information via email - which was insecure. But not afraid to email. Because people who were security conscious - weren't complete morons. It has a use. Kind of like talking - context matters.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTX5SR83rpAAlso... what the fuck does that have to do with literally anything in this discussion?
>>10902682It's called natural discussion, on a fucking discussion website you inbred grandma raper.
>>10902684Except... it's kind of unnatural. It's sort of off topic, it's out of the blue, it's nonsensical anyway... Have you ever sent money in the mail? See how I said something only even tangentially related to the terms mail and security about shit no ones discussing and it's kind of stupid? Yeah. Like that.And shut up kid, your grandma was askin for it. You wouldn't even be here if it weren't for that.
>>10902698My grandmother is dead, also I thought it was vaguely related to the topic about internet history and worth discussing.
I was surprised that even autistic retardfags could have a lengthy discussion about RCA cables, and I see you are discussing about raping grandmas.Please go on.
do you miss using noisy hdd and dvd drives?
I miss the sounds of these loading. In the days before hard drives you'd load from the floppy every time you ran a game, and each game would have its own unique sequence of sounds when loading.
>>10898336Sometimes. It was like a white noise of sorts that associated itself to the console itself. The Dreamcast specifically, I can hear it start up in my head because it was so intrusive but welcomed. I was always afraid my dc was going to break from it kek.
>>10898336I still use noisy dvd drives and my 7 year old computer hdds are sounding noisy as of late.
>>10898336No. I even hate hearing my fan on my laptop even though it's quiet enough.
>>10898336CAV drives were a mistake I liked my 8X Plextor drive more than all the noisy fuckers that went into jet engine mode
Just bought this. Does it have any good games?
>>10896810t. erraonion
>>10896695Every single NES thread
>>10901363I've heard people say they don't break as easily several times but now I don't know
>>10896706Do FDS games on this play properly? How's the sound?
>>10902786The sound doesn't play incorrectly, it's the audio levels that need adjust and both this and the original n8 allow for channel volume adjustment depending on which console you're using
>game is actually good>considered bad by the general public because some faggot youtuber made a video shitting on itwhich are some other cases?
>>10893943man anon with all these strawmen we're starting to look like twitter!
>>10898294Cope eurocuck.
>>10898294*uncrosses legs and farts*
>>10893863I loved this game
>>10893959I've always been a SH4 enjoyer. Yes, it's different from the first 3, but I think anyone that excludes it from being included with them is retarded. I'd even go so far as to admit that it is worse than the first 3, but it's by no means a shit game that deserves being excluded. That said, your take on SH2 is too contrarian for me. It's extremely popular and even to a degree that is fucking annoying and has negatively impacted the series as a whole, but that's only because it is actually an amazing game. Judging a game by its fanbase is a mistake in every case.
Let's have a /vroom/ thread. What racing games are you into lately?
>>10900207DD2 is the only good one in the series.
>>10900223
>>10900207Demolition Racer is a different series but spiritually similar, right? I remember playing a demo of it eons ago and enjoying it, but I never bothered to try the full game.
>>10901910>Demolition Racer is a different series but spiritually similar, right?yeah.
After beating gran turismo 2 some months ago i started to get car itching and now i'm playing Burnout 3 - Takedown.
