Apparently TV-Nihon was really pissed about this and will pretty much ban anyone from SA from their forums or whatever. Ah ok I must have misremembered, it was one of the games where I thought the filename had the american name instead of the japanese one. Its a shame about the TVN thing because i'd love to see an SA version of prince of persia! I'm not sure why they care so much anyway, its not like they actively sub episodes anyway.

absolutely anything posted:This is a really really good series of articles on the Super Game Boy and how it works, why it's cool and how almost nobody used it for anything worth a drat. http://loveconquersallgam.es/post/2350461718/gently caress-the-super-game-boy-introduction Completely wrong about Kirby's Dream Land 2 though.

I've been kinda slow on getting caught up with the new videos, but last night I watched the Tatsunoko Fighter episode. I really enjoyed the episode, but I thought it was a total dick move to have the "1/4 chance of having to replay the entire level you just beat" warp gimmick. At least Arino only had to replay the first level because of it and he didn't have to do that after the final boss.track day bro! posted:I'm not sure why they care so much anyway, its not like they actively sub episodes anyway.

But, at the rate they're going, humanity will probably be extinct by the time they get even half the episodes done. I vaguely remember a screencap of someone asking on their forum what they thought of SA subbing effort and getting promptly banned. It seemed like the fans of TV-Nihon were not aware of another subbing group doing work on GCCX and that they wanted the situation to stay that way. But yeah, subbing is serious business, apparently.

TVN is from a time frame when so few people were subbing material that people were crazy grateful that anyone was doing it, even if they were doing it really lovely, and they're desperate to hang on to that e-fame.

I dunno, maybe this varied based on where you were, but if you had a set mind about it and made the right friends in your local Chinatown they had absolutely crazy amounts of fansubbed stuff on VHS you could buy kind of underground back in the mid-late 90's. No idea where it all originally came from, it never seemed to be really problematic video-quality wise, and this would have been back in the day when your home computer was likely a Pentium 1. I knew a few  people who had collections of various long-running anime series fansubbed this way, and stuff I'm pretty sure didn't exist as a proper commercial release; I suspect some of it may have come from hardcore anime clubs at universities and the like where the right people had access to the right equipment since this wouldn't have been doable with consumer-level equipment back then.

You had to trade with other people or hope some local place had a series you wanted to watch and the translation quality wasn't "Bejita said gently caress YOU"-style stuff. There was some really good stuff during that timeframe too, it was just harder to get and it depended on the material.

I knew a few I remember back in the late 90s downloading Real Media fansubbed DBZ movies. Oh how things have changed. No idea where they came from and they were like 320x240 videos but god drat if I didn't enjoy every minute of them.

Hey, you could always buy your fansubs from that creepy guy at the comic book convention who duped the fansubs onto tapes and then charged twenty bucks for them.

But, at the rate they're going, humanity will probably be extinct by the time they get even half the episodes done. Honestly, at this point, I'd be surprised if another episode comes out. There's just not many episodes left for them to do, and doing mistranslated versions of sacx episodes just doesn't have the same appeal. Plus, it is outside of their niche. And the quality just doesn't compare. Like, I rag on them a lot for unnecessarily using Japanese names when it made no difference. But beyond that, there's a lot of stuff they do that makes very little sense in English. After all, didn't they translate something as someone has to go home top Mt. Tanii? I mean, the dude is a little chubby, but that's just mean.

rdbbb posted:Hey now one of my podcasts is about GCCX: http://www.retronauts.com/?p=859 I listened to this, and it was great! Like you say, nothing earth-shattering for us fans, but still very entertaining none the less. And there were shout-outs to SA-GCCX and Zari-Gani as well, which was cool. The episode is completely broken on the iOS podcast app though. It wouldn't let me download it normally, when I tried to stream it it played the first episode of the new Retronauts podcasts instead, when I tried to download it from the app's internal iTunes store it played my copy of the Joe and Mac episode instead, when I deleted all my previous episodes and downloaded it again, it simply refused to play. And there was a weird little file icon next to where it says the episode duration. It was very odd. But still, great episode, even if I ended up having to stream it from the Soundcloud site like a bloody animal.

yeah sorry, that's since been fixed on our side but you'll basically have to un/resubscribe or, worst case, delete and re-add to Podcasts. It sucks and my fault but Podcasts also sucks, and any extra fiddling on the backend would just add to the confusion.

Speaking of technical difficulties, for some reason I can't load the current page of the GCCX thread; it errors out with 500 or 'this page is not available'. I can load every other page, just not page 488. I'm hoping making this post in the thread will magically fix it (since I can read newer posts by clicking 'reply'). E: and that worked. Weird. Eerie.

Long time lurker here wondering if you could help me out. One of the things my wife and I love is GCCX, we watch it whenever new episodes come out. This year for her birthday instead of a big party, I'm throwing her a surprise GCCX party. She loves Super Mario World, so her challenge is to complete all 96 levels (she is much better than Arino!) in a day. I'm trying to replicate segments from the show to break up the day. Here is what I have come up with so far: I cut together a video open and made a Arino-styled face-paste title screen, got her a uniform, am having some friends mail in post cards for "Ring Ring Tactics," got some cooling pads, getting some Japanese snacks, having some friends stop over as AD's to take over at times and having some other friends write/draw messages of support. Can you think of anything else that might be fun and able to be replicated? Thanks for any suggestions!

I would presume that you don't have an arcade nearby, since making an arcade trip is probably one of the most obvious options and you probably thought of that already. What you probably really need is some sort of miniature PA system so you can play Kan. That belongs to the real GCCX experience. Otherwise, I think you've pretty much got the main points nailed.

Catch a Copy is awesome because you could even do it with modern games if you didn't have much retro stuff lying around. Now if only my wife liked GCCX so I could totally steal this idea...
