Random Stranger posted:I tried to find views of the game on Japanese bad game wiki and they don't even have it on the list of Super Famicom games. So I guess that advertisement wasn't very effective. A Japanese GCCX fan saw me post that so he gave me a SFC cart of it. He didn't know anything about the game so I explained that it's a "legendary western kusoge." Now he's intrigued and wants Arino to play it.

Missing the entire 16-bit era means that I had never heard of Bubsy until I found this thread. I think I've seen a couple of minutes ofl gameplay on YouTube and thought it looked like not-Sonic.

Edit: And I totally misread your post; I thought you meant that the fan said it was "legendary kusoge" over there. You might have just started a run on Bubsy carts in Japan, zari-gani.

I remember unironically liking Bubsy when it came out. I remember playing it for a while with my best friend, and it was fun enough. I haven't played it since then, though...

Here's some old pictures of my PVM-20M2U which I believe is also an 800 line screen. If you open up the second one to full res, you can see the individual lines and how many lines there are per pixel; the yellow border around the character portraits is one pixel wide (You can also see how the lighter colors are bloomed out and merging together because the brightness is set too high):  I've since fixed the bloom and cleaned up the SNES's video signal, but taking good pictures of CRT screens is

My experience with Sonic was playing half of Sonic & Knuckles on my cousin's Genesis a few times in 1997 when I was 10 and thought it was trash. I probably would have felt the same about Bubsy.

Bubsy was fun as a kid because of all the dying animations, and dying is the one thing Bubsy can do.

Instant Sunrise posted:welp. just pulled the trigger on a Super Gameboy 2. A few posts late on this but I have to ask: Is there a way to properly emulate SGB games? Some games, especially DK '94 and Kirby's Dream Land 2, just aren't the same without it. I know a lot of GB emulators give you the palettes and borders, but that's about all they can do. Google tells me there's some way to get bsnes to do it with command line shenanigans but I've never had any success with that.

even if you capture the scanlines perfectly I think it's impossible to capture the CRT luminance and the way it looks in motion, even the things that simulate scanlines on emulators or generators for use with LCDs or don't come close to the way it really looks

I had a pretty great international game hunting experience recently. I was visiting a friend in Barcelona, Spain earlier this month and she said I should check out their local online buy and sell app, Wallapop. I did my usual searches, PVM, famicom, etc and surprisingly they had some pretty good models of PVM for low prices, at least compared to where I live, but I obviously wasn't bringing a PVM back on the plane (even though I did consider it for a 20L5). So my next search was for MVS carts, and man did I ever score. I found a guy who had a few games up and I asked if he had any more. He sent me these:    When I saw Windjammers I knew I had to go for it. It was really hard to work out a deal because I don't speak Spanish and he didn't speak English, so we had to use Google Translate to send message back and forth through the Wallapop app. Eventually we decided it would be best if I went to his workshop just outside of Barcelona to complete the deal, which was great because he had some really awesome stuff.       We did some more back and forth in person working out a deal. I mentioned that I was interested in getting some soccer games since we were in Spain as a souvenir and he hooked me up big time. I think he was just happy to meet someone else who was into this stuff as much as he was. His co-worker in his shop was laughing the whole time making fun of his English and my Spanish. Luckily my girlfriend was able to help since she knows more Spanish than me. I ended up getting these for what worked out to be $20 per cart.  And finally a super nerdy shot of me and my new friend Juan David. It was really great to reach out to someone who doesn't speak the same language, but through a common interest be able to meet up and become buds.

Yes, I was tricked into mastering Bubsy as well. I could beat the game in my sleep but gently caress if I can get passed the first level today.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Aren't PAL GameCubes the good ones? PAL Gamecubes are the ones that can do analog RGB out natively, but you don't need to have a PAL display to use it. Use your homebrew loader of choice, and have Swiss load your games in NTSC standard resolutions. I have Swiss auto load when I turn my Gamecube on, so I just turn the system on first, wait like ten seconds, then turn my monitor on.

Anyone have any experience or suggestions on where I can send my Game Gear to get the caps replaced and maybe a LED backlight added? I know you can buy the kits to do it yourself but I don't have the time/skill/tools for that. I see people on Ebay advertising it and Google just brings up random threads from other forums.

Mace Bacon posted:Yeah It's a PVM I got Locally (Australia), but anything PAL I feed it doesn't have any colour (and no, "Blue Only" isn't on). Right now my PAL stuff is only a Mega Drive and a Sega SC-3000. What model is it? I mean, it could well be NTSC only, but it seems odd that it would be.
