Innex, the company that puts out peripherals and clone/plug-and-play consoles from the likes of 8bitdo and Retro-Bit, sent out some PR about all the poo poo they're showing at CES this year and these things caught my eye: "Super Retro Boy", a Game Boy/Color/Advance clone:  Officially-licensed Jaleco multi-cart releases for NES, SNES and Game Boy; the Game Boy cart is presumably the pack-in game advertised for the Super Retro Boy:  Bluetooth N64(ish) replica controller from 8bitdo:  They flyer also shows a "Retro-Bit Generations Portable" which I guess is based on their awful Capcom/Jaleco/Irem plug-and-play from a few months ago.

RodShaft posted:On the back like all the retro pi in a Gameboy case modders do. I guess that's a little more intuitive but I never cared for that layout either. Of course, the real reason it uses the SNES-style button layout is because it's cheaper that way (and lets them push next year's 2.0 version with different button placement). I wonder how their GBA emulation will fare... their other clones are okay by clone standards but a lot of the stuff on the Generations plug-and-play is dire and I feel like the GBA is prone to being handled poorly.

DalaranJ posted:Someone awhile back mentioned a program that they used to generate a folder structure for their everdrive. What was that called? Cowering's GoodTools which are distinct for each system (GoodNES for NES, GoodSNES for SNES, GoodGBx for Game Boy and Game Boy Color etc.), which is DOS commandline-based but I imagine GUI frontends for it must exist. In any case, you put all your ROMs in a single folder, unzip your GoodTool to that same folder, open a command prompt, go to that folder and then type in for example "goodnes rename dirs", which will rename all ROMs which match to a very complete internal database using a specific naming scheme, and then punt them into a subfolder like "NESRen\USA". That said, other than the renaming, all it's doing is a simple "move files corresponding to this naming scheme" thing and you can do this yourself, either in a commandline with a series of commands like "move *(U)*.nes FOLDERNAME" run in the correct order to deal with cruft first, or in whatever File Manager you have similarly, by finding all files with a specific naming pattern, and then cutting\pasting those wherever. Generally, you end up with subfolders for BadDumps and OverDumps which you can straight-up purge, subfolders for particular regions which will exclusively have clean copies of those respective games (USA, Europe, World, NTSC, Japan etc.), subfolders for "Hacks" and "NewestTranslations" you can fish through manually for specific gems. Depending on the system and your tastes there may be other folders for you to look in, like "Australia" if you need your cricket fix (I think everything else is redundant), "Pirate" or "Unlicensed" if you want games which fall into those categories (e.g. Tengen and Wisdom Tree games on the NES). From there you may have to do some extra legwork, like further splitting down folders for the N8 Everdrive so no folder has more than 254 games. If all this sounds like way too much work, various people have made ready-to-go ROMsets for various Everdrives. I also made DAT files for CLRMamePro which will do the same, although I haven't updated them in ages, I may update them this coming week. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3920747/Everdrive%20DATs.zip

I remember the awkward time I was reading a preview of Ballz and was confused about what one of the billboards said in the the background. "Mom, what does 'wham, bam, thank you ma'am' mean?" and then she gave a chipper, but short and blunt explanation. She was also one of the Dr Mario Destroyers. Just constantly running train on level 24 over and over. On the flip side she played with the music off and thus is not privy to the wonder of Fever nor Chill. I'm not a huge Jaleco fan but count me in for those compilations. I only have a few of those on cart. I definitely don't feel the need to play through Astyanax again. I played through it at a friend's bachelor party (read as: a bunch of nerds bringing TVs and games). I told the bachelor that instead of joining in multiplayer shennanigans I would personally do my best to play through the entirety of an an NES game I hadn't yet played through to slog through and show him the ending. And yes I had migraine cooling pads. _____! fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Jan 7, 2017 |

If you ever need Astyanax, it's one game that seems always in stock (and cheap) at every store carrying old NES carts. Astyanax, Captain Skyhawk, and Rad Racer are to retro shops what Jesus Jones, 4 Non Blondes, and New Order's Republic were to used CD stores ten years ago.  Also, lots of sports games, but everyone knows that.

What's the deal with Captain Skyhawk anyway? Compared to the other carts that every reselller has an infinite supply of (Bases Loaded, Play Action Football, etc) it doesn't actually seem that bad.

I think they just made a ton of copies. I remember that when Wal-Mart and Meijer and Toys R Us were closing out NES games back around 1993, they still had lots of Captain Skyhawk. And Super Glove Ball, for some reason. Meijer filled half a wall case with Super Glove Ball.

I guess they figured the Power Glove would be a big success  It might have been a success had it had more games specifically made for it, it really only had Super Glove Ball. As an NES controller it was complete dogshit.

Ballz chat: The 3DO version has an extra character and nicer audio/graphics. It's still Ballz, though, and all of. I bought it last year because it was five bucks and I was trying to fill out my 3DO library beyond The Need for Speed and two copies of Street Fighter. Also, weirdly, apparently every character can morph into any other character at any time in the match using various button combinations. A game full of Shang Tsungs.

I think I last saw Ballz when I watched Frankomatic do a quick LP of it and also today when I picked up and looked at the SNES cart in a game shop. I put it back and got King of the Monsters on genesis instead along with a bunch of other crap.

Skyward Sword has some pretty noticeable dithering on the bloom and glow effects on the Wii U, it's perfectly normal. A lot of Wii and PSP games used dithering and even sometimes low color depth to squeeze more performance out of the system.

Just found a cheap copy of Pokemon Blue at Book Off... it looks like Pokemon gen 1/2 carts have gone back down to regular prices. I almost grabbed a copy of Gold with a dead battery there last week for $10, but hesitated. Definitely gonna get the remaining games before prices go up again.
