[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Introducing myself and Turbo Views......]

I've always said it like the word vague. Vaygz.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE FPGA]

And you just KNOW he'd feel that what he did was a good thing, given the results. He'd feel that he saved the Turbo/PCE from being de-glorified by the existence of an FPGA or some shit. He'd feel the community is better off without it. OG hardware only. Who cares if the quantity is limited? That just makes owning one more 1337.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE FPGA]

I think that referring to that one complete jerk, among all of us, as "community" is totally wrong.

Yep. I even sent him an e-mail a couple of weeks ago apologizing for any hard feelings on behalf of the forum since I'm a mod here and also informed him that PCEngineHell is gone. According to his reply he was still kind of soured but we'll see.

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

Yes. Everyone with a Youtube channel got one.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE FPGA]

Y'all pissed Kevtris off too much to care about the PC Engine/TurboGrafx. Yes, this forum. He told me. He says he might do it some day but the community has soured him greatly.

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

Good to see friend codes are back! Everyone loves friend codes! Why can't Sony or Microsoft get online right like Nintendo does???

Fast RMX sounds like a cool death sled racing game. Are there weapons or is it pure racing action?

[General Gaming / Re: Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)]

Is Fast RMX a real game or digital only?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Streets of Rage 2 - Go Straight Beatmix (TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine Cover)]

Downloaded. My Turbo's not hooked up at the moment, but can the Turbo Everdrive play .HES files? Or is this one of those things I need to relable to .PCE?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Streets of Rage 2 - Go Straight Beatmix (TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine Cover)]

Just checked out this thread. Great approximation of the Genesis sound hardware! Where's the Turbo Everdrive-friendly file I can play on my own system? My Turbo is fantastic because it adds a layer of 60Hz buzzzz to the mix. Who doesn't love that? Not sure why it's not perfectly grounded or where the error could lie.

[General Gaming / Re: Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana PS4 & Vita]

I pre-ordered the regular-ass edition. The special edition doesn't have anything I'd spend a total of maybe 2 or 3 minutes of my life looking at. The soundtrack isn't even the full soundtrack. Plus, I already have the full 2 disc soundtrack. Kind of mediocre for an Ys game, actually. Hopefully it will grow on me as I play the game.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: HUVideo Why didn't this get used WAY more often?]

Be thankful. If this had been able to be used early in the CD system's life, then games would be plagued with this nonsense like the Sega CD. Granted in Japan it would all be anime stuffs since that's all they know. I can appreciate animated, non-grainy cutscenes. But for me it's harder to appreciate when it's grainy video... at least when it's anime.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCM rips of CD games?]

If some bored PCE coder wanted a simple yet extremely tedious project, he or she could take all HES files (including those from CD and SuperGrafx games) and compile them into a ROM complete with an onscreen menu that could be run on n Everdrive. I would love to just sit back and chill to tunes being produced by my real TurboGrafx instead of an emulator.

[Off-Topic / Re: Random Pictures Thread]

Why does an online store like the Wii U have a watch list? What are you watching? To see if someone buys it? Do they only have a limited number of them for sale?

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Lightning Strikes... the PC-Engine?! (Thunder Force IV Chiptune Cover)]

I've never heard the Turbo/PCE do drums like that before, with so much bass. Usually they're pretty thin.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: YS 4 versions]

So what's the theory behind the PS2 version? Is it revisionist history?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: uh... wut?]

it's basically a subwoofer with a creepy cover that you sit on to get blasted in the ass by shouryukens .

Is it only for CD games? Because the PC Engine does not (or cannot) make sounds low and loud enough to be benefitted by a subwoofer. A high-fidelity sound chip it is not. Pretty much mostly midrange.

[Off-Topic / Re: Magfest 2017 - Is there going to be another Turbo setup this year?]

From everything I heard, MAGfest this year was garbage. Especially for a lot of the guests. They treated Brentalfloss like ass, kicking him out of his spot to show off his game with no explanation at all. Also The Completionist who they flew in to compete in some Megaman bullshit was not listed as a guest so they had no hotel for him and no pass. Also heard that the festivities were quite boring all around even if you weren't a guest.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: On Oct 30, 2017, the PC Engine will be 30 years old]

I'm gonna try adn figure out what Snining Force and Street Fighterm are.

Same species as "adn".

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / On Oct 30, 2017, the PC Engine will be 30 years old]

What are YOU gonna to celebrate?

Also, Ys 1 will be 30 on June 21
After Burner will be 30 on July 17
Phantasy Star will be 30 on December 20
Metal Gear will be 30 on July 13
Contra, Mega Man, Street Fighterm R-Type AND FRIGGIN' WONDER MOMO will all be 30 this year. Wonder Momo, guys!!!
Snining Force will be 25 on March 20
Ecco the Dolphin will be 25 on July 31
Final Fantasy 7 will be 20 on January 31
and most importantly Fez will be 5 on April 13

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Sexy Turbo Porn...]

Anyone try contacting Larry Aldrich and Associates? With a name like that, they've gotta be hella exciting.

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

There is a lot of material we could cover for future installments. A lot of people are recommending Sonic Genesis for the GBA. I've never played it as after Sonic 1 I never really cared about Sonic games with the exception of Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast. I look forward to being impressed with the 32-bit GBA's adaptation of the 16-bit game. So many potential dumb blast processing jokes.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCEWorks is back to making passable bootlegs and lots of them]

1) We're charging you for parts, labor, time-spent-3Dprinting-because-jesus-christ-the-things-print-slow.
2) We're also charging you for BRAND NEW GAME THAT WE SPENT ALOT OF FREE TIME ON, to encourage us to bother continuing to do that.

I seriously hope nobody gives you shit for charging or (gasp) making a profit for your goods and not offering a downloadable ROM for free (which you offer a demo with Santatlantean anyway). You are producing a marketable good that not only has costs, but the time investment is nothing without reward so your profit is perfectly acceptable. You're not passing off repros as originals and selling them for an inflated value so I can't imagine anyone would give you shit, but this is the internet... I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but if there are readers of this forum who would criticize Atlantean costing money, well... let's fight!

[General Gaming / Re: Policenauts on Saturn translation project complete]

The stunner works very well. Considering it doesn't have a sync input like a guncon I was surprised at its accuracy.

I've never noticed an increase in accuracy with the Guncon compared to the Stunner or Light Phaser. Not sure why it needs the composite video. Can it work without plugging that in?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCEWorks is back to making passable bootlegs and lots of them]

People mistake their memories as facts. I have a friend who writes articles on movie releases and he's very into heavy research. He often gets feedback about how someone remembered watching a 70mm print at a drive in the year before said movie came out when in fact the movie didn't even have 70mm prints. Memories change. NOBODY has perfect memory. It's all faulty. That's why we document things. Memory is not evidence. Of course there's no convincing people of this. "No but I CLEARLY remember it". No, you clearly misremember it.

[General Gaming / Re: Policenauts on Saturn translation project complete]

Played through the translated Saturn version. Recorded most of my gameplay. Played with the Stunner. Very enjoyable game. Highly recommended.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCEWorks is back to making passable bootlegs and lots of them]

The vast majority of the people who comment on my videos are awesome, but there are also a few people who need to pull a plastic bag over their head and go to sleep.

Welcome to the internet. Anything you do will attract stupid comments. People like to moan about how awful Youtube comments are. Or how awful Facebook is. Neither of those things are at fault. What's awful are just people in general, especially when they can comment from the comfort of their keyboards. Forums are just as dumb as Youtube comments, and those are just as dumb as Facebook, Tumbler, etc etc etc. The internet in general is just dumb because anyone can comment. Only smart people should be allowed to comment. Like me. But of course everyone thinks they're smart. Anyway at least try to have fun with the shitty comments instead of getting angry at them. I had a dude who was saying how the PS2 trounced the OG Xbox in every conceivable way. That was fun for me.

[General Gaming / Re: Ys Origin coming to PS4 & Vita in US courtesy of DotEmu!]

But are there US versions? Ys 8 still doesn't have a US version and as far as I know nothing announced. Xseed will probably release it after the PS5 comes out. They translate one word per day.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I'm curious as to why extra controllers are sold. Do ANY PS4 games have local split-screen multiplayer? Any at all? Well I guess if they break then it's good to be able to get another one, but is there even such a thing as "player 2" any more?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Why the extra AV out on the SuperCD ROM?]

I remember listening to CD tunes on my TurboGrafx-CD from the Turbo's RF output. It's all in mono of course since no RF jack on any console ever has been in stereo (though technically they could).

[General Gaming / Re: My youtube channel]

I fell asleep during that video.

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

am excited to play RE4 again. I want to ask about the control options. What control option on the PS4 works well for you?

It was Xbox One but I don't remember what controller setting it was, exactly. Maybe the 3rd one? It still wasn't perfect.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pat & Ian TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine Let's Plays]

A friend of mine made this GIF a while back and posted it in a Facebook chat. I have downloaded it and re-uploaded so that PCEFX can enjoy, because it is timely.

Damn that blower works pretty well. I don't see any snow anywhere!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pat & Ian TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine Let's Plays]

Pat has talked about having a complete US Turbo collection.

He has a complete US HuCard collection. Err... sorry. TurboChip. He has no interest in the CD games. When it comes to the Turbo, he's pretty boring. Oops, did I say "When it comes to the Turbo"? Feel free to omit that part of the sentence.

[Off-Topic / Re: No "RIP Leonard Cohen" thread?]

Does Pump Up the Jam from Technotronic count?

[Off-Topic / Re: No "RIP Leonard Cohen" thread?]

I had never heard of him until he began to decompose.

[Off-Topic / Re: Donald Trump Thread aka End of Days]

Leave it up to Democrats to force people to get out there and vote, and cry like little bitches when people actually did!

They saw it as a challenge. Lose to an election that's almost assuredly handed to you. How could anyone lose to Trump??? They found a way. Probably could have won with Bernie but we'll never know. Hillary's supporters certainly didn't help with their marginalizing and mocking of non-supporters. And now they are at it x10. Great game plan.

[General Gaming / Re: New Blaster Master game from MegaMan Zero / 9+10 devs]

Cool. Except that it's on the 3DS. That part sucks. Console version, please.

[Off-Topic / Re: Donald Trump Thread aka End of Days]

Ted Dibiase should run next time.

[General Gaming / Re: Watchmojo's Top 10 Retro Gaming YouTubers]

^Great frame grab. The girlfriend is for later.

We didn't gain massively from the video. Nobody ever really does. These videos don't get a ton of views. We did see an increase for a couple of days but it wasn't massive. I certainly won't complain about being included but what they showed is not what I'd show uninitiated viewers right away. Instead, they picked one episode, downloaded it and pulled clips from the middle and end of it.

Honestly videos like these are better for smaller channels. AVGN? Yeah everyone knows who he is. These videos should feature smaller, more unknown channels.

[General Gaming / Re: Watchmojo's Top 10 Retro Gaming YouTubers]

Fuck watchmojo, worst top ten list whore channel of all times.

Agreed.

[Off-Topic / Re: Random Pictures Thread]

What if I vote for the opposite of your candidate?

[Off-Topic / Re: What are YOU watching on YouTube.com?]

To my knowledge that's just how Facebook works these days. Facebook "pages" are a waste anyway. Say you have 1000 people who like your page. You post an update. Do all 1000 people see it? Nope! Most won't even get the chance unless they go visit the page on their own. Maybe a couple hundred will see it. Facebook then prompts you to "boost your post" with $$$ so that others who like your page can see it. Or you can sponsor the post with even more $$$ so it shows up in people's feeds who don't even like the page.

[Off-Topic / Re: Random Pictures Thread]

I despised that episode with Picard and the retarded alien. But it is indeed fun to make light of.


Oh, and...

WTF??? Why is the bottle some anime girl? Who thinks this shit up?  Even worse, who enjoys it? JFC we need a new genocide.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pat & Ian TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine Let's Plays]

I believe I said elsewhere but I'll say again:

They're not rich. They do not get speaking fees at conventions. And I highly HIGHLY doubt Pat and Ian split anything 50/50. I'd be surprised really if Pat gave Ian even 30%. But it's fair as Pat does most of the work. But yes they do pull in multiple thousands per year just off of Youtube alone.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pat & Ian TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine Let's Plays]

He completely sucks at splatterhouse... Talking shit about the music

OK wait... what? He talked shit about Splatterhouse's music? Them's fightin' words! I love the music in that game.

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

I was/am a "pro".

What is a "pro"?

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

Why would you have an NDA with Nintendo? That is most interesting.

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

No just RGB.

[General Gaming / Re: Console RGB vs Wii RGB]

If you're using the GB Player then component video is overkill unless you use something like Swiss to force 240p. There's also another player that can be loaded from the memory card that can do the same thing. In that case yeah, component cables are great! EDIT: Yeah that one you mentioned: GameBoy Interface is what I was talking about. I don't see any improvements in that vs the GameBoy Player disc forced to 240 though.
