IT'S COMING IN INFINITY NEXT

UPDATE: Shit's fucked, Josh has gone full Chris-chan with his utter ineptitude in fixing next, and Hotwheels has more or less done nothing to respond to people's concerns. I recommend that everybody migrate to https://endchan.xyz/vr/ to avoid the oncoming storm. I own the board, I help run the site, and it's running on an engine that's basically what Infinity Next was supposed to be. If you need me, that's where I'll be.

PSA: 8chan will be migrating to Infinity Next soon.

It's nowhere near finished, the developer is a meme-spouting faggot who got fired from programming for CWCiki for incompetence, and everybody from /v/ to /tech/ has complained that the board software is buggy, ugly, and effectively shoehorns a framework for a Reddit clone into the imageboard format. But our Fearless Leader has decided that Infinity simply cannot be used in its current state, so all board and post data is being migrated to Infinity Next within the next day or so.

You can read about the migration process, try out infinity next, and tell Josh to go kill himself here:

Game Center CX Thread: A New Beginning

Dreamcast Thread: When 1/2Chan gives you lemons, go to fullchan

So, our threads kept getting deleted over there, at first because of magnet links being posed in the threads, but now I really don't know what the fuck for, so I'm personally moving my shit over here.

Release google spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14fCQ3NXIlW1ZC_gjIejpQVPG34fLWmSoXYgSTyxdRWM/edit

So… yeah. What are your favorite games for this thing?

Retro definition

I don't want to start a shitflinging fight here, I'm just curious.

If 1995 games were considered "retro" in 2005 (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgVTbH1HWcg), why are people so stubbornly opposed to 2005 games being considered "retro" in 2015?

Shadow of the Beast 2

http://www.retrovgs.com/home.html

On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?

I'm actually somewhat interested. Most of the people involved with the production have quite a pedigree. Yes I know it's probably going to do shit and I have plenty of my own doubts. My wishlist for this thing is that it's open so I can put my own emulators and such on it if I so desire (seems like it will), have at least some level of internet connectivity (mainly for software purposes- shitty android devs, for example, are more likely to flock to it if it's got some sort of Android compatibility or a way to download games off the web? I don't know man. Just having android-type games run easy on this thing would be gr8), run decently and be easy to record. Shit, the price is even acceptable.

Where do you download ROMs now?

Post your arcade favorites and why

I don't see too many arcade posts, so I thought I'd start a thread honoring our favorite arcade games. What are some of your favorites and why?

Here are a few that I still play on MAME from time to time:

1. Crystal Castles - I was fascinated by games that looked 3d and I also enjoyed using trackballs. Marble Madness was another good one of this kind.

2. Gauntlet - Being able to play with three other people was novel at the time. I was so obsessed with this game that I got left behind during day camp at a pizza parlor and I had to call the head counselor to get me. The manager gave me free tokens while I waited so it was a win-win. The Elf and the Valkyrie were my favorites.

3. Street Fighter 2 - It wasn't easy to get in a game because it was so popular, but I played it anywhere I found it. Circus Circus in Vegas had the Turbo version that was my favorite. I played Blanka and Ken the most.

4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - It was a really great 4-player beat-'em-up. Since I was a dumb kid I asked for the NES version thinking that it would be like the arcade, but I was sorely disappointed.

5. Ghosts n' Goblins - This was the first horror-themed game I ever played and it was hard as hell. I loved the NES version, too, though the sprites would flicker in certain areas.

6. Joust - This game seems ageless because it's just as fun now as it was when I first played it. The NES version was a pretty good port and I have a somewhat rare Atari Lynx cartridge of it too. It was my first experience with a physics-based game.

7. Space Invaders - This is the oldest game that I enjoy. I loved it so much that I created a paper collage in high school art class that recreated the game screen with color gradients.

8. Arkanoid - You could find a lot of cocktail cabinet versions of this game. It's my favorite Breakout-type game, though I wasn't able to beat it until I bought the NES version.

9. Tetris - This is still my favorite puzzle game of all time. I played it all the time in the arcades, but the Game Boy version was also fantastic. Yep, I got the space shuttle ending.

10. Centipede - My aunt was really good at the game so she told me about it. I was maybe in preschool when I first played it and I remember my dad having to hold me up to reach the controls. It's still really great on MAME though I wish I had a trackball input.

Sorry that this is so long. I love a lot of arcade games and it's hard to narrow down my all-time favorites.

Figured I would ask here as opposed to /v/ as this is sort of a retro question.

I picked up the 8bit Music Power and I'm trying to play it on my famicom, but having no luck getting it to start up. Has anyone else happened to buy this game too and has gotten it to work? Or could I just be stuck with a fancy piece of plastic?

SEGA CD troubles

Hey /vr/. My SEGA CD keeps having issues reading discs, to the point it'll manage to read one, play for a bit, then be unable to read anything until it's turned off for like 20 minutes.

Anyone know what the issue could be?

Some months ago, I bought a second-hand GameBoy (DMG). I tested it in the pawn shop, and it worked.

I never used it again until today. I put some fresh batteries and I turned it on. The led turns on, but in the screen nothing happens. I tried with a cartridge and without it.

What happens? What can I do?

DOS

Impressive Box Art

Just whatever you think looked cool, either on straightforward artistic merits, or representing the game's content, or whatever. No accounting for taste.

Your annual play throughs

Garage news?

If this board is dead or not, is there any advancement with the game's translation? I've been dying to play the game without having to learn Japanese, and it looks like a really great game.

Emulation Machine

Hey /vr/, I was looking to building myself an emulation machine

I was planning on running Arcades and consoles at least up to gen 5

Would a raspberry pi be enough?

Should I just salvage a "old" laptop/pc?

For anyone knowledgeable about NES/ Famicom tech

Can anyone tell me about mods for an NES side loader to enable the Famicom exclusive sound channels?

I bought a Duck Hunt with a built in converter and intend to use it for Akumajou Densetsu when I find it, but I also intend to buy an Everdrive for FDS exclusive games like pic related.

My questions are:

1. Can you restore the Disk System exclusive synth (as in that weird sawtooth "Oboe" sounding synth in the Japanese version of Kid Icarus) for an Everdrive? I know you can restore shit like the VRC7, but what about the FDS only sound?

2. Will performing the Everdrive mod and the converter mod simultaneously cause any crazy interference when both are used at once or blow my NES tha' fuck up?

USB Controllers

Hey /vr/, I recently picked up this controller for my computer, but the D-Pad isn't very good.

I can use it, but it makes my thumb really sore after a few hours since it requires so much pressure to use, as well as being one of those garbage pads that slides around in the controller.

What are some good USB controllers without garbage D-Pads?

For reference I hold the SP's D-Pad as the gold standard.

Is there list like that, but with console games?

O Inezh, where art thou?

Mistakes that you regret

Hiroki Kikuta / Koudelka

Hey /vr/. I just finished beating Koudelka and seeing each of the endings. Despite the state in which it released and the issues within Sacnoth that produced it, Koudelka's a great game. It's worth playing for those that enjoy truly dark games and RPGs, though it plods along because of the crippled battle system, and it should've been Kikuta's magnum opus.

Anyways, I'm here not just to talk about Koudelka and what could've been, but also because I'm looking for something from Kikuta's discography: The Lost Files. Right now YouTube user whitenoisemonster666 has about half of the songs uploaded, but I can't find the rest anywhere else.

Here's the full tracklist, of which about only 8 or 9 are on YouTube: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Files

If you can't help, that's fine. Just consider this a Hiroki Kikuta, Sacnoth and/or Shadow Hearts general.

I can't be the only one that feels this game is mediocre when compared to Super Metroid?

LaunchBox

tell me about LaunchBox

worth to spent time for it? any good?

Going to use it for all my emulation, i'm sick as fuck to use the complicated way to get them into my steam libary.

Hey /vr/! Tell me, what's your favourite N64 game? My favourite is Ocarina of Time.

Game recording thread

What's the best and cheapest way to record retro games? Would something like pic related be good enough? If you saw a webm made with it would you be disgusted?

Don't care if its just a ps1 hooked up to a 15" LCD with 4 games, We want to see it. Not enough of these threads exist on full chan and they are a great source of inspiration and possibly nostalgia.

Would love a Sony CRT as soon as I move, got an xrgb for the mean time

Strategy Games

What are people's favourite strategy (and/or RTS) games?

Any that have something particularly special, gameplay-wise, about them?

Any ones you would recommend?

I've found sometimes they can be a bit formulaic in their mechanics with nothing new to bring (but that's usually modern ones - maybe ones made on the cheaper side - I haven't played many older ones).

The one I usually go back to is Dune 2000.

Console modding general

I got a Sega Mega Drive model 2 awhile ago and installed a 50/60hz mod. I have a weird problem though, when I boot it in 60hz with a composite video cable, it flashes the sega logo then it goes black. Any ideas how i can fix this?

Japan-exclusives

So, I can read Japanese, which probably increases the amount of games I can play by quite a bit . Do you know of any great Japanese retro games that never got an English translation?

I'm mostly looking for NES, GameBoy and Genesis games, and I'm not much into JRPGs.

Is there some huge .zip of Doom wads that everyone downloads floating around somewhere? I don't even know what wads to look for specifically so I don't want to go tracking down individual ones that seem interesting. I have two folders that are called DOOM1 and DOOM2 respectively, but they're mostly really old shit and almost completely maps rather than mods or total conversions.

Amiga - The Quantum Leap! - Video D

So the Lemonamiga guy, whom I personally greatly respect, decided to make a documentary on the Amiga. He asks for a rather humble sum so I decided to shill for him a bit.

What do you guys think of his work up until now? Should this be supported or left to die, along with Dan Waddington?

Upscaler Thread

Just came from a HalfChan Ban from asking a simple question, so I'll ask it here.

don't understand how someone can be a retro gamer and be born after 1995. People born in 1996 like to claim they "grew up with" the N64 but they didn't, their first console was probably as PS2.

I'm 26 years old. So I was a teenager not too long ago, but honestly, my generation seemed A LOT more interested in actually play just good games instead of you Gen Z kids born after 1995 who only want to play the "cool" games like COD, Madden, FIFA, LOL, DOTA 2, and GTA 5. Hilarious how the teenagers playing these games are all hipster idiots who need to constantly rub in the fact that they're liberals.

It's weird, but if you look at those "Teens React" videos (particularly the Smash Bros. one), you'll see that the 1996 and up generation just doesn't know anything about classic 90s video games, anime, music, movies, or TV shows.

Heck, they don't even know early 2000s classics. Why is that? Shouldn't a 19-year-old remember shit from 2000-2005?

Shameless board shilling

Hey, everyone. (Yes, I'm still here, it's just that real life has kept me from checking in as often as before.)

I've gotten tired of /v/'s slow slide into a 4chan-tier shithole and have started my own video games board with the intention of getting away from the redditors and other retards that are most directly responsible for /v/ and 8chan in general declining in post quality.

>>>/summerv/

It's pretty dead right now, but that's because I haven't been advertising it for the most part. Don't be intimidated by the huge rules sticky, the intention is that they all boil down to "Don't be a faggot or a retard." I just tried to make the definition of being a faggot and/or retard very specific to minimize line-toeing and metafaggotry on both sides of the banhammer.

Hopefully this board will become as comfy as /vr/ is with time.

Japanese computer games general

I remember there was a massive PC88/PC98 romset floating around here on someone's MEGA. Originally found it on halfchan /vr/ about a year and a half ago. I hate to make a whole thread so it'll be a Jap PC general. If anyone has it I would rally appreciate it though. Pic unrelated.

I wanna get into Metroid and Zelda series. However, some of the early games of the both series have remakes for GBA. Should I play originals or remakes?

Live-A-Live: Why has next to nobody played this yet?!

Honestly this is the best JRPG from the SNES era that nobody played. It was initially to be localized but never released outside of Japan. A shame too as I could have seen it considered up there with the likes of FF6 and CT.

It's fan translation by Gideon Zhi of AGTP has only recently received it's final revision, I feel that if it were fully translated in the late 1990s like FFV was it would've been regarded as something of a cult classic.

Nomination for early Retro status

This game was the bomb.

Too tired today to make a convincing argument for it being counted as a retro game, but I think that discussion on the topic might be good.

Maybe we start counting it once the 3DS successor comes out or something.

You ever buy a used VMU or memory card and look through the files on it to see what the previous owner played, or if he's got any stuff like custom maps or unlocked content lying on there?

I find it pretty interesting, though I definitely wouldn't go out and purchase a random card simply to see what's on it. I had to purchase a VMU recently, and checked out what was already on it. Found a replay file for Capcom vs SNK and I feel compelled to watch it.

Music General

About to play RE 3, should I stream it?

Games /vr/ tricked you into playing

Very over hyped. The rpg aspects are underwhelming, as are the shooting aspects. Together they blend to create the ultimate mediocrity.

Listening to a million audiotapes and hacking crap gets old very quickly. It was probably good at release time but today, it doesn't hold up at all.

/vr/ any tips for these levels in DK Country? I'm pretty bad at ice levels and with a lot of work get through the first two stages, but I have never gotten farther than that.

And of course it isn't like I can go back and save right?

I need some help guys.

I just recently bought an NES and it has been a pain in the ass. The CIC chip had to be disabled and the adapter needed to be replaced. But now i'm having problems as to having to hold down a game as hard as i can and getting it just right. Help?

Anyone else hoping they combine Quest 64 and Quest: Brian's Journey, then remake it?

Brian's Journey had the story, cutscenes, and completed areas. Quest 64 had the graphics and music. A remake would be glorious.

Best Scary Console Game

Hello Everyone, October is upon us and as we get older it gets more difficult to get into the Halloween spirit. So I thought it might help my girlfriend and I if we play a scaaaary retro game for the next month.

Which scary console game (from say 2005 back) should we play? Which will you be playing? Which do you think is best? Is there anything great I should play but am missing? My collection includes…

Castlevania Bloodlines (GEN)

Castlevania SotN (PSX)

Clock Tower (SNES)

Doom 64 (N64)

Doom 3 (Xbox)

Essential PS1 games

Hey guys, i was recently cleaning my closet and found my old ps1 along with a bunch of pirated cds circa 1999-2000, the memory card didn't work for shit and some cds were all fucked up but i managed to find some that were working, now im sitting here with 4 games and a working ps1 with a modchip.

What are some essential ps1 games to have? I have a lots of 700mb disks i can burn.

Also, the only working games i have are tony hawk 1 & 2, rayman 2 and worms armageddon, out of like, 40 something games.

I know tomb raider, spyro, crash, FFVII, medievil, megaman legends and the tronn bone game are musts, but, what else?

R.O.B. Troubleshoot

/vr/, does anyone have experience with R.O.B.? I just picked this up from my local game store and I'm having a few issues trying to get him to work. He turns on and spins and such, but he just turns one way and keeps trying to go that way. It seems like opening him up there is the motor to spin him, and it just keeps spinning in the same direction.

I'm not sure if it is something I'm doing wrong with setting him up, or it is just a faulty motor and there isn't anything to do about it. Any tips or help with what I might be able to do?

A friend of mine found this third party NES controller. It's wireless and he says it works perfectly.

I haven't had the chance to test it myself, and it's fucking impossible to find any information on line.

Anyone has seen it before?

Finally got a Master System!

So, after all these years, I finally have a Master System, it's been a bitch and a half to find but I managed to pick one up with a complete copy of Alex Kid in Miracle World.

CLASSIC POKEMON THREAD

This is a thread dedicated to Pokemon Gens 1+2. This isn't about any Generation beyond those, but nor is it a Gen Wars thread, so please keep focused on just these two generations.

First thing, why is Pokemon Stadium 1/2 so underrated? It feels like a great companion to have with the games. I have all 3 and I enjoy how convenient they make the games. People like to complain about how they're boring with just battling, but for me that's fine, since in R/B/Y you could run out of trainers to fight since the only characters you can rematch are the Elite 4, not to mention it has so many incentives and awards, like Pokemon and a Surfing Pikachu.

Lately I've been using it to try and complete all 6 games (R/B/Y/G/S/C) and get 251, with the only glitches used being the Mew and Celebi glitches, for obvious reasons.

"Help! I can't remember the title of this game!"

Reviving old mods/old multiplayer games

Are there any communities specifically for reviving and enjoying old dead mods? Hosting servers and encouraging people, setting up community events to enjoy the nearly forgotten hard work?

There are too many awesome, unique mods out there with no one to play them, or no servers up. Some of my favorite gaming experiences have been setting up local servers and 1v1ing my friend on weird old HL1 and HL2 mods, like Train Hunter or Earth's Special Forces or Zombie Master. These are some of my favorite games of all time, and unfortunately its near impossible to enjoy them as they are meant to be played nowadays.

The same goes for old ass multiplayer games that don't have a community anymore, either. Things like Majesty or other LAN games.

Please let me know if you guys know any communities that celebrate the heritage of modding, and in appreciating the thousands of hours people labored over unique experiences that not enough people got to enjoy.

Or if you guys are interested in such a thing. I think a place to share and kickstart communities again would be fantastic.

Mods, fucking seriously?

When did they get so hard?

I remember when I was a child, I got Mega Man 3 for my birthday. I spent the entire day playing it and was able to beat the game by the time I had to go to bed. How that I'm much older and I try to replay it I can't even get to Dr. Wiley. I get stuck at having to beat the bosses from MM2 in those last 4 levels before getting to Dr. Wiley.

If this is what will happen with other games I'm gonna hate old age.

I played it years back (it was translated to my language) and had a great time. Now, I'd like to introduce some of my English friends to it, but not only can't I find any place to pirate or buy it, I can't even find out whether it was translated to english or not (supposedly, it wasn't as far as in 2010, yet some sites list it as having an english translation).

Would any of you happen to know where to get that game?

FUCKING GAMESTOP coming for your retro games

Arrite, so it's dawned on me after playing Mother 1 through WiiU's virtual console that when compared to the Wii's emulation of NES games, the WiiU emulates NES games like garbage. Even when hooked up to a CRT, the colors are muddy and the aspect ratio is royally fucked.

That's what I gathered from face value. Anyone else here who's experienced with WiiU Virtual Console able to go in some more exact detail about the WiiU's NES emulation?

Cross-posting this here, since I figure you folks might be interested in the games involved.

>>/v/3831873

To put it bluntly, I'm running a small retro game gauntlet, using pre-selected games, so there's no garbage games or edutainment or whatever. You can win prizes too. For full details, check the following pastebin.

Pac-Man turns 35

What's your favorite Pac-Man game, /vr/?

AGTP's Dark Half fan translation is out!

Retro horror thread, preferably of the more obscure variety.

So has anyone on /vr/ played through this game completely yet?

Screenshot thread: 8KB edition

NES, GB, GBC and some SNES screenshots (mostly menus) can fit in 8KB. Post them.

What are some benchmark arcade games that feel like they're the height of their respective genres? Or hell, what are some of the more outstanding arcade games?

I used to play the shit out of this game and it remains as my favorite. Compared to games like Final Fight and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs this stood out for me. The graphics on this game are fluid, the game has a humorous and consistent theme, it has awesome fitting music and the gameplay is pretty sweet.

What's the best Playstation emulator?

Has anyone played System Shock 2? What did you think?

Also, are there any good mods for System Shock 2 which are worth checking out?

Jurassic Park

/vr/ what am I doing wrong? I just picked up the ColecoVision today and grabbed Mouse Trap just to test it out and make sure everything works.

But the game doesn't seem to fit into the system, and I now honestly have no clue what cartridges do fit. It looks like the connector pins on the cartridge are bigger than what the ColecoVision accepts. What am I actually missing here, I can't figure this out.

Post your Favorite Genesis Games

How do we make a successful arcade in the modern age?

Go.

I find it interesting how 1500 copies of this game, which wasn't even finished, were just found in a warehouse and then put on the market. Not only did Active Enterprises not even finish development but they actually put the unfinished product onto hundreds and hundreds of cartridges with the intent to distribute them… or did they? Maybe it was a skeleton in their closet, a symbol of their failure as a company and their blind hope in what they'd started. Personal pride on a PCB in a clear case.

>This… is who we are. This is what our work amounts to. Everything we've worked towards. No use denying it any longer.

It was at that moment that a mind clouded with delusions was cleared. They could've done all kinds of manners of things with these. Burn them. Bury them. Waterlog them. But that would be just as immature and proud. Or, they could embrace this personal demon and sell them as intended. But isn't that what got them thinking in the first place? Make no mistake, there was no right answer as to what to do with these and like hell it would be easy deciding. But perhaps keeping that shipment safe in a warehouse was the path of least resistance and the least of multiple evils.

I'm sorry you had to read that but, I must ask: what other manners of fresh hell are just waiting in hiding in the retro video game world?

The World/concept flip from Quake 1 to 2

Whats a good adapter for Genesis, NES, SNES, give or take to USB?

I have some Genesis controllers I need to test and might use with old games aswell as I would like to be able to test old controllers I get for fixing/messing with.

Also if anyone can tell me what diodes are on the PS1 power supply primarily the one on D101 I would be gratefull as I don't really know how to tell them apart. THe one on D101 on a PS1 Im messing with has quite a bit of corrosion on it to the point I might replace it if I can find a replacement part for cheap.

Also the same PS1 dousn't want to read discs so I was wondering if you guys know about this (http://dogbreath.de/PS1/LaserAlignment/Laser.html) I don't know how reliable this tut is and wondering if anyone has tried to follow it before. I might have bumped a potentionometer when I was reassembling it. I did read that the PSOne uses a compatible drive so that maybe my best bet if the tut no workie.

Post the arcade game you're pretty sure you could beat anyone at or get the highest score in one quarter.

Pic related, bitches.

You have two joysticks.

You have one champion.

You have zero chance.

Bring it.

No Continues

What do you think about games with No Continues? For me, it was a fucking lazy Dick Ploy to sell a short game at full price, and all it does in the term of challenge is making you play the first level over and over and over until you can play it with your eyes closed, defeating the purpose of challenge because you basically memorized the game at that point. I can forgive No Passwords because maybe the game is so fucking old they didn't even invent Passwords yet, but Continues existed since SMB, so there are no excuses.
