I'm sure this will be successful, maybe it could lead to some other official releases. As an ardent lover of RPGs, I'd love to see more of them translated.
#2
Yeah, I've seen some of his videos. It's what got me interested in it originally. I was curious if anyone here and tried it yet. I know it doesn't work with CD games at the moment which is a let down, but perhaps in the future. I told my wife I want one for Christmas so I guess I'll know more then.
#3
I've been thinking about toying around with the Mister FPGA and I was wondering if anyone here has tried the TG16\PCE core and how well it works?

Thanks

This seems really cool, but I just can't justify it. I have a doujindance Duo-R that need some work done and I think that would be a better place to put my dollars.

I'm glad to see this thread is still going. I love these cityscapes.

I liked it as well as my wife and 14 year old son. Honestly, it's not worse than some 90s\00s game to anime conversions. I think Trevor talked too much. I think Ryan Gosling Drive style minimalism would have been more appropriate, but it's a minor gripe.

I've always wanted to make a game, but I never really had a "vision" for what I wanted to make.
#8
I haven't really made any progress. I made my pong style game and never did any more. I get distracted really easy without set goals.

Off-Topic / Shantae GBC Sealed Unboxing
May 10, 2017, 07:44:06 PM
So the completionist guy on YouTube just did unboxing video for a sealed copy of Shantae for GBC. I thought it was cool he was opening, thinking he was eschewing collectard'ism for gamer cred. Turns out he was basically forced to in order to get a good deal on the game.
On a side note I'm not dissing the guy I do have a few sealed games myself.

Burning Force: a fun Space Harrier style game from Namco, nice music IMO.

Light Crusader: Isometric  action  RPG  from Treasure. Late Genesis title with good graphics, but does suffer from some difficulty stemming from the isometric view point.

Chiki Chiki Boys: Fun action platformer/ arcade port.  Discussed more in depth on another thread on the forum.

Quote from: guest on April 14, 2017, 07:08:21 PMFair enough, I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying, I don't really get why you're labeling people expressing their frustration with Nintendo's product strategy as "fanboys" though.
It's simple: in Zeta's mind, Nintendo is always right.  You either do things their way or you lose money hand over fist.
If that's as deep into what I'm saying as you can see...I guess you still get the point. Be it wisdom or belligerence, Nintendo has lost many many billions less than Sony and MS have in the last 15 years since Sega died and they didn't do this by just listening to Twitter feedback and fat fucks on YouTube. The success of the NES Classic is something MS and Sony would gladly enjoy but never could: a highly profitable well engineered yet sub-$100 item sells way beyond expectations, the entire project going from announcement to completion in less than a year.

I'm not saying they are always right. Painting me a loyal to any billion dollar corporation shows your willful missing of my point, as you have been doing here...since before Sega died. I'm not shitting on fanboys because say something contrary to Nintendo, I'm shitting on them because they say something counter to their own level of expertise which is usually zero.

If anyone here ACTUALLY MAKES SOMETHING then their standing increased significantly. People who live off eBay, work in food service, cops, lawyers,  bankers, the IT crowd, clerks, clergy, etc...I don't tell them how to make sales quotas so it's annoying to hear them pretend they know how to make a video game when an existing one doesn't meet every one of their criteria.

Obviously Elmer, Arkhan, Old Rover, Nightwolve, etc have significantly more standing since they have a greater understanding of what this kind of work is, although obviously that's very far removed. People who make anything are rare in the US nowadays but they do exist and those aren't the people who have done the most complaining from what I've seen. Mostly it's a bunch of no-nothing losers who couldn't even draw a picture of the NES Classsic let alone design one.

It's like the guy who loves to say "I told you so." except he didn't and he wasn't right about anything anything anyway. He's just fucking annoying.

Have you ever tested a prototype of something for a year only to have the project canceled because another design turned out to be a better idea? Have you ever worked on a project for five years and then see it tank because a supplier fucked up a minor part? Ever seen your sales reduced by a more popular but ultimately shittier competitor's product because of the price? Do you work in product certification and safety? Those are people with insight. If you had to shove your boss at 7-11 because you needed to get fired so you could go to the Gathering of the Juggaloes and now it's going to suck because you planned on having a NES classic in your meth tent, then please just fuck the fuck off.
Sorry,  but I'm  not getting your argument either.  The engineering, coding, and production  facilities are already  in place.  Nintendo would literally make more profit the more units they sale since they've  already put the work in on the front-end.  A slow trickle would prevent over producing, and they could curtail production as demand begins to diminish. Nintendo obviously has their reasons,  but this is definitely  a bad public image move. My guess is that they are ending production  because of an impending virtual console on the Switch.

Quote from: guest on March 22, 2017, 06:18:04 PMGredler Binding of Isaac is a really fun game, played quite a bit on steam many years ago. Was thinking about getting it for either 3DS or Vita, so I'm wondering how the Switch version compares as a handheld port. Great game for quick bursts of action and a really fun and great atmosphere.
My son has this on PC, but decided to get the Switch version. He now prefers to play on the Switch and likes the controls better. Oddly enough, my wife likes to join in and play with him in the multi player mode.

If they are having to use google translate to ask a question in English, they aren't likely to be interested in English language games anyways.

They need to take a snapshot of all the patches they host and put them up on a torrent. Even it was only done once a year it would be very beneficial.

These are great. Soon I'm going to use magic engine to take some screentshots with only the background layer.

That's what it looks like to me, but there may be some other wires that  do not match.

I think that $200 is what it should cost based on the hardware, but I expected $250 because Nintendo Tax. $300 is too much for me.

The one with that uses VHS/Beta? cassettes?, or something to that effect.

Yup, check out this beauty.

Haha When I was a kid I bought one of those from a garage sale, but it never worked. I was thinking about it the other day and couldn't remember what it was called. After reading your post it was an Aha! Moment.

Has anyone tried modding a Duo to use HD Retrovision cables? The Dbelec guy recommends using the Genesis cable with his grafx booster whatever its called. My Doujindance Duo has an 8 pin + ground, C type DIN, and the Genesis uses a U type I think. Anyways, just looking for some input.
 Thanks.

From AliExpress. Ordered back in early October. Only received it now.

I had to trim the edges of the PCB's for it to fit in my boot MV-1C board. It works fine now, though.

Yeah, once you 100% it there isn't much reason to keep the save. The game is really pretty easy. As far as long term saves go, I have some PSX saves from BITD, and the reality is that they are so old when I load them up I just think " Damn i need to start over".

Quote from: technozombie on December 28, 2016, 04:50:14 PMI haven't played a CoD game since World at War so I can't really compare IW to the others. The levels i enjoyed most were the ones that tried to be different. The ones where you're in space and you use a grapple hook to pull yourself around or were there is a big mech in your group and you are support. I found the flight missions to be somewhat boring and uninspired. The story was mediocre stuff you would find in an overweight popcorn movie. The terrorist group you are fighting operates on a thin premise and you're just kind of thinking, what are we fighting for again? On a smaller scale the interactions between characters was enjoyable and like in Rogue One the robot was the stand out character.
which one of those games had the underwater levels?  i never played them, but that always looked cool.
i know one of the boxes also showed zombie levels, but those looked mediocre.
I.W. has some zombie side game, but I haven't tried it. It has some kind of 80s theme like it is their version of Blood Dragon, but I'm not sure if it has any story or is just a versus mode.

Let me know how you enjoy IW. I hear there are a couple great single player campaign levels ;)
It was pretty fun overall, enough for me to finish it. There is a robot named Ethan that is really funny. Overall, I had more fun with Titanfall 2. Both games have double jumping and wall running, but Titanfall really incorpated it into the levels.

Quote from: wildfruit on December 10, 2016, 02:44:05 PMI've had an original gba and an SP. my biggest gripe with the SP is not being able to charge and use headphones at the same time.
A DS/DS lite is great for gba games but my go to way to play is on a PSP.
I already have a PSP with NES and SNES emulators on it which doesn't work great for those systems. The emulation is good, but even though it has the same control layout as the original SNES, it's difficult to play action or platformers for some reason.

However, the PSP may be the way to go with other portable systems. Anyone else tried this?
I played through FFVI with the color and sound patches on a PSP and it was great. Action or platforming games may be different, but my impression is good.
