Don't have time to try this for a couple of days but is it possible to use Goomba on a gba ever drive and run nes and game boy games?

FireMrshlBill posted:Maybe I should look into playing Truxton as well... You should absolutely play Truxton. The MD port is a good starting point, as it has an easy mode and they buffed the red weapon with a circular shield (at max power only) which takes care of those rear end in a top hat zakos that pop up behind you. Also the skull bomb is no longer aim-able and just nukes the whole playfield at once. The rom is exactly the same for all 3 regions, but seems optimized for 50hz. It's still playable on NTSC consoles. Includes those little fireballs on enemies as you damage them.  The PC-Engine port is JP-only. It has great colors, music, and runs at the proper speed, but is actually harder than the arcade version on default settings due to the bullets being roughly the same speed but 1/3 less screen space to read them. The options menu can be accessed by holding select and pressing run at the title screen (as opposed to the soft reset which is holding run and pressing select). If you score exactly 7100 points and reset the menu gets more options to toggle, such as lives and bombs. The arcade version is, of course, the master race. It looks and sounds beautiful and has ton of great animations everywhere (everything "wobbles"). But make no mistake, the Japanese name "Tatsujin" means "expert" and it's a tough checkpoint-based memorizer filled with gently caress-you-player moments. The static extends are as follows: stage 1 (green), stage 2 (red), stage 5(?)(blue) - this applies to all versions of the game. Adjust your weapon pickups accordingly, you really need those 1ups. Also, the game was designed with macro-dodging at maximum ship speed in mind; don't be afraid to pick up all those S-es.

Nate RFB posted:I'm still knee deep in debugging my N64 SYNC issues and it's thrown me into the insane rabbit hole that is CSYNC/sync-on-composite/sync-as-luma. I'll probably do a boring technical write-up once I wrap it up, but for now I'm hoping to get just this clarified: Does the XRGB-mini actually require CSYNC, or can it can accept both sync-on-composite and sync-on-luma to some degree? I first thought it was the former at first, meaning that you'd be required to have a Sync Stripper somewhere along the line. But it appears that this was only true for older firmware on the mini; the current iteration can handle it just fine but it man require adjusting the sync levels manually. I remember when I got fed up trying to figure out why my 1chip-03 snes was not giving me a stable image. They removed csync on that model and I couldn't remember what my cables were. Sync on composite or sync on csync? I got so fed up I just opened the SNES and literally jumped a wire from csync to composite sync. And guess what? It worked. I don't think it messed with the picture quality at all. Now I get a stable image. Is it crude? Yes. Did it work? Yes! Is it internally destroying something unbeknownst to me? No clue!

The Neo Geo AES library is totally 1:1 with the arcade MVS library, right? It's such an odd piece of gaming history. I can't imagine an entire console library that's designed around working in a coin-op arcade setting.

I had a old desktop that I got in 2006 that I never use anymore and found a crt monitor at Goodwill for 4 bucks...so it time to make a retro gaming PC for those games that you need to use a Virtual OS to run. I got a spare Windows 98 SE disc to install, but can't start yet since there is a storm in the area (last thing I want is a power outage while installing). But here the setup right now. https://twitter.com/Rirse/status/768556619101634562

If you are a weird finger presser instead of thumb roller, yeah that's nopt going to work for you. But for normal people I think people are dismissing the functionality because of how ugly it is.

This only seems like it could work if your fingers and hands are very tiny. Especially on the original NES controller, and then the SNES controller or anything else with shoulder buttons I can't even imagine.

Shadow Hog posted:Aside from the one d0s suggested, somebody on NeoGAF suggested this one, though I haven't tried it myself to vouch for it. Somebody in the prior SA thread went ahead and bought one, but I didn't hear back on their opinion of it. This unit does get bonus points for having the audio-out built into the unit, though. That was me. I was actually just going to post in this thread about my experience with it. I bought one and have since returned it for a couple reasons. Pros: I tested it on 3 CRTs (both flat tube and curved) and the image quality is very good. The colors are all correct out of the box. It really is just plug and play, no pot tweaking or anything like that needed. Not having to mod it for sound is also a nice feature. The seller is very good and was quick to address my concerns and offered to replace it, but I opted to return it. Cons: It's hard to tell from the eBay listing, but the case is 3D printed. Not a huge deal, but it feels cheap and mine arrived broken in multiple places.  The reason I returned it is because the day I got it http://www.beharbros.com/ released a Component to Scart box. Basically the reverse of this box. I emailed them to ask if it was possible to run it as Scart to Component and they said no, but that they are planning to release just that in a couple months. Based on the quality of the Toro I have I decided to return it and wait for their release. So if you need one right now, go for the one on eBay, but personally I'm going to wait for the Behar Bros one in the hope that it's even better. beaver_cheese fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Aug 24, 2016 |

Ah, Windows ME. Had to use that for a year and a half, because somehow my dad was convinced by the PC store owner (an old acquaintance of his) that it was the best possible OS for the computer we were buying in late '01. Even at 14 years old I knew perfectly well that nobody should ever use Windows ME and brought that up several times, but obviously the store owner knew better (and clearly wasn't just trying to get rid of his unsold copies of WinME by ripping off gullible idiots) and so we ended up with ME on that computer. Good times.Tobaccrow posted:You never shut down Windows ME from the start menu, you just get a BSoD and decide to not bother doing a reboot.

Is original Xbox emulation completely dead? It seems like cxbx hasn't been updated since 2012 and Xeon's been dead for even longer. A shame if it is, I'd really like to play Panzer Dragoon Orta.
