Capcom Arcade Cabinet All in One DLC is on sale, at long last, on XBox 360, and is backwards compatible on XBox One, if anyone does any retrogaming on those consoles. 17 games total, includes Gun.Smoke, Ghosts n' Goblins and 1942/43. Been eyeballing these for a while but 30 goddamn dollars was too much for me.

This is pretty crazy! All this music sampling chat got me to listen to some random SNES songs that I haven't heard in forever, and I caught another sample no one else on the internet seems to have caught! This Final Fantasy IV song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJuKydFsoBQ was sampled in an Insane Clown Posse song released in 1994 believe it or not! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Fzrn3bpk4&t=119s Starts at 2 minutes exactly. This is kind of nuts because I don't think anyone sampled video games back in 1994, plus this wasn't "discovered" on WhoSampled from what I can see. It sounds like they simply adjusted the pitch slightly is all! Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Aug 31, 2016 |

More like no one listens to ICP But my non-lovely answer is that those do sound very similar if not the exact same

Good news for everyone who bemoaned the NES Visual Compendium's lack of interview material: they announced they're now working with the Untold History of Japanese Game Developers guy. Thanks a bunch, monkey paw!

So I feel like I've spent roughly one third of my waking time the two years I've lived in Tokyo stalking out good deals at Book-Off locations. Now that things are much more stable, and I have more space, I had been thinking about getting more old stuff - picked up a PS2 a while back, but hadn't gone much older. And then I went to check out a Book-Off and found a Super Famicom, all cables, two controllers, for an incredibly good deal. Still need to inspect it a bit at home, but it's not yellowed, the controllers looked almost brand new, and if I'm lucky it won't smell like the retirement home for used Mild Sevens.

(It's on X360, PS3, PC and mobile, PC's the only version with 60FPS.) Update: MS made ths game a backwards-comaptible title for XB1, so if you think you'll ever want to play it there, buy it before the end of the week.

I can say without a doubt that the game I have played the most on the Super Nintendo is Tecmo Super Bowl. So many hours put in with friends. So many bets won and lost. Controllers thrown and tables overthrown. The greatest moments are when you are right on the N-zone, Battle of Berlin, and you stop the offense. That's where the s*** gets real.

There's a huge variety in long plays, too, from super skilled people showing off to guys just muddling through as a basic walkthrough. I occasionally use them as reference guides when I just need to know what to do in a section (rather similar to using one to find a good Sodom strategy).

Tool-assisted also doesn't automatically mean some kind of frame-perfect TAS, it probably just means for longplays "yeah, if I do something incredibly stupid and game over, I'm gonna rewind and edit that out."

I'm willing to bet there's some old school public-domain piece (or something lost to the ages) which has just ingrained itself in our collective memory as like "circus music" and both Final Fantasy and ICP both used that same theme. Doesn't mean ICP was copying FF or even aware of it. Like, that's just generic "Clown music". And you can see why both FF and ICP would go for a circus clown type sound.

I know Wii was last gen, but whatever. Does anyone know if there ever was a Hylian shield skin or anything sold for the Wii nunchuck? I know there was a gold crested one for club Nintendo in Japan. But I mean an actual Hylian shield looking one. The super nerd in me thinks that would be cool. I'm not artistic enough to airbrush or paint a nunchuck to look like one either. Would go great with the gold Zelda Wiimote.

I noticed a goon in SA Mart is selling their Sega Nomad that was in the process of being given the LCD mod. I want to get it, but how hard is it to solder the new lcd screen to get it working? Don't think I solder anything since high school!

It's not terrible if you have a compatible screen, though I honestly think the Nomad screen looks alright as it is once you get the brightness right.

I don't know, everyone I've seen at least needed capacitors fixed or something, because they looked a lot worse than when new.

This might be the appropriate thread for this. I have just acquired a CTX CVP-5468NI, manufactured December 1992, off the side of the road. It's in perfect condition, except when I plug it into my Win8 laptop and boot it up the screen is all hosed up (and extremely green, despite it being an RGB monitor) and there are black bars on either side of the picture. After fiddling with it for a bit, I determined that by setting the contrast down, I can get it to display a legible (but duplicated, and juxtaposed onto itself) picture of my desktop. However, after being on for a while the picture starts to get messed up, beginning at the top of the screen as it slides leftward until the whole picture smears into a static-y, horizontally vibrating mess. If I set the contrast lower, it will reverse this process and I can get the picture back, but only for a little while until the process occurs again, and eventually I run out of room on the contrast knob and it just goes black (weirdly enough, I can get flashes of picture when I'm moving the contrast knob near the end, but not when I let go of it, it goes back to black). I downloaded a driver off the Internet which consists of an ICC profile and an INF driver. I applied the ICC profile to the monitor in my display settings, but it doesn't appear to have done anything. I installed the INF file, but it also doesn't appear to have done anything and I can't find it in the driver list if I try to update the display driver for the monitor. Anyone have any idea what might be wrong with it/how I could fix it or should I see myself out to SH/SC?
