Quiet Feet posted:On closer inspection, the label is coming apart from the cartridge on top. This is not the first time I've seen this and it seems kinda common in later titles. The sealed copy of Overlord I opened last year had the same problem, and that came out in 1993. Makes you think that there must have been some manufacturing changes at the time, which wouldn't be surprising as the NES was well on its way to wrapping up. This was also the case with my sealed copy of Wario's Woods, which I bought several years ago. Good to know this is a common issue. Wario's Woods never really clicked with me, but it's possible I just haven't spent enough time with it. It's better than Yoshi, not as good as Dr. Mario, and would probably be forgotten if it weren't an interesting object for collectors for the reasons you described. I just happened to find it for cheap, and I can't turn down a complete copy of any Nintendo-developed NES title. My favorite underappreciated NES puzzle game is Spot: The Video Game, which is exactly the microscope game from The 7th Guest as a standalone title. An extremely small percentage of you are probably going to rush out and buy it now.

The regular CDROM2 games are a janky as poo poo action game that sucks and a visual novel I haven't played. This is the okay one:  This one is awful garbage:

I liked it better than any of the other Nintendo puzzle games but have to admit its been a while since I've played Yoshi or Yoshi's Cookie. Isn't Spot just Othello? I had a cart for a little while but honestly got bored with it pretty quickly.

I love Wario's Woods for how weird it is. For an action puzzler it has a bizarrely steep learning curve because of how many maneuvers you can perform. Something about this opaqueness seems fittingly "Wario". Also, it has a weird cast of one-off characters (The first boss in the SNES version is just Tatanga from Mario Land dressed as a magician).

I haven't played any of these recently enough that I can recall the precise differences, but it's fun. Or at least it's a game you learn to love through attrition during the course of playing The 7th Guest. And I do mean it's exactly the same game—originally called Infection, and also released in the arcade as Ataxx. Wikipedia has a brief history of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataxx Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Jan 12, 2017 |

This puzzle is actually interestingly bugged in the game, the A.I. systematically goes through the list of available moves it has in 1 second, and then picks the best move from that list. So the slower your CPU, the less moves it can process in that 1 second, and the easier the CPU is. On higher-end systems, especially anything after like the mid-90's, CPU's are fast enough to process every possible move, and the A.I. more or less plays perfectly, where it's only maybe-beatable if you feed it a perfect moveset yourself.

Does anyone here own a Dreamcast USB-GDROM? Good, bad, better alternative? http://3do-renovation.ru/USB-GDROM_Controller.htm After 4 bad discs in row yesterday I'm getting tired of burning games. I'm thinking about buying one, but would like to hear any first hand opinions on it. It looks better than the GD-EMU in my eyes, but the ordering system seems a little sketchy. I'm sure it's fine though.

Stone Age Gamer carried them briefly but apparently the guy who makes them was super-hard to work with and unreasonable so they no longer do. The device itself works well once you get one, though, and is super-easy to install. The only weird bit is that, ideally, you have to desolder the "disc lid is open" mechanism from your actual GDROM board and solder it onto the USB-GDROM, as this is what will control disc switching for multi-disc games. You can opt against it for every game except for D2, which doesn't offer a chance to save at the swap points while every other multi-disc game does.

Instant Sunrise posted:At least it's not Street Combat.  I remember that crappy game. It wasn't till later I found out how it was an extremely localized version of Ranma 1/2. Then Hard Battle was translated and was ~better~ I guess. It was more of a "Wow, anime fight game!" which was rare at the time. Still really clunky but I have a soft spot for it  Edit: Here's a Hardcoregaming101 article on the games: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ranma/ranma2.htm Instruction Manuel fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Jan 12, 2017 |

It doesn't explain why they, if noone else, won't be honest about the mediocrity of DotEmu's emulation, at least not in a forward-facing way.

Hooray I'm not alone in feeling meh about Hard Battle. Part of the problem is I detest Ranma 1/2 the show/manga yet love the poo poo out of Urusei Yatsura. Of course most games based on that anime are visual novels/point and click/text heavy. At least the Inuyasha fighting game on PS1 feels nicer to play though it's just as mediocre. Chiming in with more love for Wario's Woods, I went and got the SNES version of it because it's cheaper and is prettier graphically. Music isn't quite as catchy though. Definitely one of my favorite variations on matching falling objects for sure. Good show this year on breaking the seals Quiet Feet.

FWIW, Wario's Woods is currently on sale for the 3DS in Nintendo's e-shop. Can't say I'd really go for it myself, though. And Ranma has the problem of being in the first wave of Street Fighter 2 clones. It can go on the pile right next to World Heroes.

Just ordered a SD2SNES from GamerSection. Picked the "universal" cart which I hope is just a modified SFC cart. I don't really want to have to hack it into a good looking package :|

Sorry I should have mentioned I have an SFC so this is perfect for me. Was just hoping it wasn't some unholy marriage of a SNES and SFC cart that didn't look like either

It's a Super Famicom cart with the grooves added to fit in a SNES just as well. Looks fine in my SNES, but I'm betting it'll actually look better in a SF due to the curves and fitting more snug.

poo poo, how have I arrived to a point where if I need yet another, portable version of Wario's Woods is a consideration. Even though I got the Animal Crossing port and my getting the SNES one was born out of a desire to get back into that system with a bang. On the upside I finally solved my DS storage problem, except that I don't have enough room for my 3DS games on the same rack. Usually people latch on to the first console they had as a kid as their favorite, which means I should be way into GBA, but clearly the DS is my favorite. I remember being impressed that the cartridges were the size of a postage stamp when I first saw them.

My NES has the lockout chip clipped, and I got a copy of Quattro Sports that makes the screen shimmy in a weird way when I try to play it. (I could attempt to get video of this if it would help) Internet says this cart uses CIC stun, could that be causing the video issues? Is there a way to disable the stun? I do not know what the different positions on the slider on the cart do but I know only Position A works.

So I have some RGB and Sync questions. I use a Sony PC-1270 switcher (http://www.curtpalme.com/docs/sony-pc1270.pdf) as my switchbox, but currently only for Composite and Svideo. it works great. It has 3 RGB modules that I'm not currently using but would like to for convenience more than anything. The only item I'm using RGB on currently is a Duo which I had Monitor Burn mod. It appears to have an 8 pin DIN connector to output signal, but I have zero clue how sync works with that. Its converted to component using one of those SPECIALTY-AV boxes (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XSSDPO/). This currently goes right to TV's Component input. Here's my plan to put * via switcher:  Here's what the inputs look like on the switchbox. It looks like it can do Sync on Green, which doesn't seem like is used in retro land from what I can tell. It also has a dedicated Sync BNC connector.  Trying to figure out what cables I need. To do so I need to figure out how Sync works. Questions: Does anyone know if you think I would have to connect Sync on this thing? I would assume it would just pass through whatever it gets directly so however it connects in it should also connect out, but dunno. Monitor Burn: How is sync working on that Duo mod? I cannot find the answer as to how it works on that SPECIALTY-AV box either. I just need one cable to make this work as I already have Genesis/Duo/SNES SCART cables, that would be BNC from Switcher to Scart input (male on cable) but I have no clue which one to get or if it needs to deal with sync or stripping or whatever. I think this may work, but it has the extra BNC connector (black) which I don't know if that's good or bad: http://www.ebay.com/itm//201756644469
