Miyamotos RGB NES posted:I remember something interesting when I was into emulators and stuff heavily back in 1997 or so. I remember waiting patiently for Super Mario RPG to be dumped, and everyone claimed it was virtually impossible. Finally someone came up with one but it was like a 3MB incomplete dump. Then I read, when it was finally dumped, the person was able to do it because he literally had to destroy a game backup device to read Super Mario RPG. Not sure why this would be or if it were true but I always found it fascinating.

There must be something about the GBA that makes it easy to emulate because you can emulate it full speed on almost anything. When I had a custom firmware PSP it ran GBA emulators pretty much perfectly.

WendigoJohnson posted:So after beating Michael Jordan:Chaos in the Windy City, I have to say the most apt comparison is that it's pretty much Moonwalker but with Basketball and with Metroid Style powerups. The platformer has no terrible unfair jumps and really nothing made you want to throw down the controller. It's definetly not as good as Super Mario World, Super Metroid or even Earthworm Jim 2 or Vectorman, but then again the game only a few bucks. The game just like Moonwalker takes itself seriously, there is no tongue and cheek humor about the situations. It's literally Jordan is a basketball wizard who controls the elements and throws fire/ice/laser beam balls and you better take believe it because he's Michael Jordan and you're stupid if you don't think he's just that amazing.

Bolverkur posted:I'm hoping that your collective brain-power will help me and my girlfriend solve what has become a mystery running several years. We're getting obsessed with re-discovering a specific game she played as a kid, which she only vaguely recalls as the 'woman-game'. It features a female protagonist, scantily clad in red clothing, most likely a bikini of some sorts, or bikini-like. That's very vague, the only clear thing is the red clothing. She had dark hair, maybe red. It's a PC game and is a platformer, or at least a 2d game in that direction. It's not medieval exactly, but looks similarly. Pixelated graphics. Gameplay featured a lot of jumping, there were some monsters but it was more about getting around them. She doesn't remember having to specifically kill them. The main character wasn't that big on the screen. Her hair was kind of big, that 80's power metal feel.

I'm pretty sure the PSP version of SotN is a PSP-native port since it has so many differences from the PSX version, like Maria being a playable character with a totally different play-style from the Saturn version.

Thanks guys I know it's not strictly retro but I've been thinking about picking up a 3DS lately, partly for 3DS games but also to catch up on all the great DS games that came out after my DS Lite mysteriously disappeared a few years ago.

That reminds me, I forgot until literally just now that a few years ago I found a Goldstar 3DO with a few games at a Salvation Army. It didn't have any controllers though so I couldn't do anything with it besides put a game in and look at the title screen. The only game I remember getting was Star Control 2, which is probably one of the only games worth playing on the system. I don't know if I even still have that thing.

HDTVs were still really expensive and not super-common in 2004. It probably wasn't worth it for most developers.

The arcade machine I want most would probably be Star Wars Trilogy Arcade (1998), ideally the sit-down version. I never got tired of playing that game ever. EDIT: Except maybe for the couple of times I found a machine with either a broken or improperly calibrated joystick so I couldn't hit any enemies on one side of the screen.

This reminds me of an awesome arcade I used to go to as a kid/teen whenever I went to Salem, MA to visit my stepdad's family. There's a seaside park in Salem called The Willows, and they had a fantastic arcade open during the summer. It had a ton of classic poo poo but also top-of-the-line modern games. They had a WAR multi-cab set up in semi-circle form, Time Crisis, the full-sized Harley Davidson & L.A. Riders game by Sega (which owned), a bunch of full-sized sit-down racing games, fighting games, etc. Haven't been there in probably about 15 years though.

Continuing the PSP chat, does anyone have a PSP 2000 or 3000 they're willing to let go for cheap? I posted an SA-Mart thread but nobody's biting, and I've got a hankering for some on-the-go emulation.

Miyamotos RGB NES posted:I...don't think I quite understand. It makes sense if you are playing the NES and SNES versions of Super Mario 3 at the same time, but two different games? How, when walking to the right in Mega Man 2, would you not walk directly into a pit in Mega Man 3? EDIT: I don't mean to discount the videos because holy poo poo it's still pretty mind-blowing that someone figured out how to do it.

I just today beat Contra for the first time... ...with use of the Konami Code and 3 continues Honestly it wasn't as hard as I expected - I played it when I was a kid and then kind of half-heartedly here and there over the years. I feel that with a little bit of practice I could probably beat it with no continues.

I'm fairly certain the first video game I ever actually played was Super Mario Bros. at my neighbor's house when I was 4 years old. It became the first game I ever owned when I got an NES for Christmas at the age of 5 as well.

Better solutions for these systems (or settings that work well on most things for fPSE) would be great. I also got RetroArch, but have played with it minimally at this point.

TheHoosier posted:So uh was the Shining series and Landstalkers supposed to co-exist in some way originally? I realize the 16-bit era didn't lend itself to a ton of variety but the audio and visual styles are way too similar. Little stuff like the sound text in the dialog makes, the overlord music, even the protagonist of Landstalkers resembles adult Bowie.
