Or were they maybe part of later releases or just certain distributions? I think I was playing with them around 97 or 98. I do know I was playing phantasy star 4 on an emulator new years eve 1999 since I though it would be funny to watch the end credit sequence to that at the end of the millennium But I guess yeah they almost all had dumb names. Just like the wArEz release groups

what are you even doing if your emulator doesn't have a water ripple effect while you're loading your 24 hour rental of megaman x3?

I am really nostalgic for old rom sites. Not the kind with fullsets or anything but like way back the day when it'd be like "Soandso's DOMAIN under construction you are visitor number 45" where they'd just have a few weird roms. I was just a kid back in like 98, so I didn't even know that a lot of those games existed. Now I guess it's choice paralysis or something, too easy to get too much. Specifically I remember this guy's site edited out cuz the guys a goon I guess He had another site called ballzysoft industries but it hasn't been archived anywhere from what I can tell. I think he just did a recent EB hack where there's a rap soundtrack or something. Then I started getting stuff on irc, and some guy had a hotline server with fullsets. I still had dialup but I'd leave it on overnight to download every NES and SNES game he had. Over a few weekends I went one by one and played every single game for a while. I didn't have anything else to do since I was a kid. I found a lot of cool stuff though doing that, the other kunio-kun games, that nes fighter that was robots drawn with balls, EVO, seiken densetsu 3 before there was a translation. Anyway that's my story thanks for reading have a nice day. BrainDance fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Oct 28, 2019 |

Nintendo is angry. Angry about ROMs. Cease & Desist. Nintendo demands that you only play these games on Virtual Console. No not that Virtual Console. That's too Virtual.

I remember back in college I used to distribute an .iso of a cd with categorized roms and an emulator that would auto load. I used to name the different versions after early Pink Floyd songs and albums.

In middle school I played a Funny Joke on my friend by going to a ROM site we both used and writing a review saying "if you want to play this game on the real hardware, just go to [friend's name]'s house at [friend's address] and this game will be yours!" The site and review is still up there to this day.

Those old emulator videos remind me that emulation on Linux was still pretty spotty up to at least in the mid-2000s, especially if you didn't want to screw around with loading stuff through the terminal. GUIs are not a sin, Linux developers!

A billion years ago when I played ROMs on PC I would hold my keyboard sideways and use the arrow keys for the d-pad and the Home/End/etc block as the face buttons.

I actually helped with a site called SNESmerism back in the day (I was like 14 and I helped them with site stuff and they gave me the first ever dumps of Alf for the Master System and SOS for the SNES as a thanks). I actually remember watching Super Mario RPG dumping as it was unfolding. Some girl had a site (it was called like "Christina's ROMs" or something) and she had a partial dump of Super Mario RPG and everyone was going nuts over it. From what I remember, the game was fully dumped a few weeks later and it required the literal destruction of a copier device to get it done. I was into ROMs back then mostly because I was obsessed with being able to play Seiken Dentesu 3 even though I couldn't read any of it. There was no sound the first time I ever tried an SNES emulator. I later donated a shitload of hardware to the developer of the SNES emulator for the XBox 1. For example I sent him a light gun and as a result he added Super Scope 6 support.

Manually turning off rendering layers in the SNES emulator because transparency effects like smoke and rain would be rendered opaque and block everything behind them.

My first playthrough of Rondo of Blood involved downloading the game in pieces off a website and then having to run a program to turn the music tracks into a disc image of some kind. And then playing it in the free version of a paid emulator so I'd have to keep making save states right before the ten minute timer would run out so I could just close the program and open it back up where I was with a new timer. What can I say, game lived up to the hype.

I felt so loving brilliant when I figured that render layer thing out, even though the hotkeys for the layers were like 1-4 on the numrow so it was clearly not a secret workaroundChumbawumba4ever97 posted:Or mapping three buttons to one keyboard key so you can enter the room in Chrono Trigger because keyboards couldn't process 3 keys pressed at once gosh, i hope i remember the default binds (just loving QWERTY for l/r/x/y/a/b in order??? what?????)

I had kinda mucked around with snes and earlier emulators, so it wasn't a completely foreign concept to me, but the first time I saw Project64 running a video game at like 12fps and everything flickering randomly, it felt like loving magic.

I remember getting super excited when CPS roms were mostly dumped and out in the wild and CPS2 roms were slowly being dumped. I somehow got a hold of like 100MB of webspace from a university and made a site called Teleport soft, where I would upload CPS2 roms and other little things I made. Emulation was the golden time of my youth. The best controller for emulation was the game port version of Microsoft Sidewinder. Gravis gamepad pro was probably the 2nd best at the time.

Still sucks that EmuParadise got shut down. This wouldn't be a problem if most of the old games were still actively being sold (and I had money to buy them).
