Motorola 68k assembly (mega drive, amiga, neo geo, macintoshes, a million other things) is pretty intuitive if you already know a bit of c, you have 8 data registers you can treat like variables, 8 address registers you can treat as pointers, they're all 32 bit and you can perform math on them all so you're not constantly shuffling stuff in and out of an accumulator register

I never had a big problem with the L1 translation job. But I was in, like, middleschool when it came out. If you sliding into home and your pants are full of foam it's Diarrhea, Diarrheaaa That Jerk Ghaleon crushed the Sun Tea I had sitting out.

Since the n64 was upstairs we played some Revenge. He actually kinda got the hang of it. We're going to check out a wwf offering next. I may have to bring up a ps1 because SmackDown was my go to. I also loved Def Jam Fight for NY, but maybe not for a 4 year old.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's from a Gamespot review? I know Jeff Gerstmann talks about how much Dreamcast owners hated them after the Shenmue review.

That said, I'm fine with no more Lunar ports; the games were good for their time and there's not much to improve without drastically altering them. PSN reissues would be sufficient.

I'm looking for some good rear end ROM hacks. I don't want anything too hard, I just want a new experience with vanilla difficulties. Any popular game would do really but I would prefer hacks of the SNES, GBA or NES top hits (just not Super Metroid, I have days of hack backlogs for that one). I gave Parallel Worlds (Zelda: A Link to the Past) a try and it was stupid and awful so clearly reviews on romhacking.net isn't going to be very helpful for me in finding the good ones.

I've heard Brave New World FFVI is pretty solid, and I've always wanted to try that one Castlevania 2 hack (Redacted?) that cleans up the translation, makes it so that the towns people say actual hints rather than BS, and make the text crawl and day/night transitions almost instant.

Just did a quick picture quality comparison between different RGB mods available on the N64. The THS7314 and N64RGB were run through a Framemeister with FBX's N64 profile. The Deblur on the N64RGB makes it a lot sharper, although the colors still aren't as accurate as the UltraHDMI: THS7314 RGB amp:  N64RGB with Deblur off:  N64RGB with Deblur on:  UltraHDMI with Deblur on and Gamma Boost:

Gotta be careful with the N64 deblur mods, because a lot of the blur exists to hide the low resolution and low color depth that every 3D game had on the system. It does absolutely help the 2D games though.

Does the PS1 version of Lunar EB have the bullshit difficulty or did they tone it down for that one? I guess that questions stands for SSSC too.

Agree, you could pay that much for the component cable and be able to use it on multiple systems. Does the hdmi mod output 1080p or 480p?

I thought the HDMI mod thing was going to be a breakaway bit that plugs into the existing digital port, though a system mod would make sense since half of Gamecubes don't have the port.

RZA Encryption posted:Agree, you could pay that much for the component cable and be able to use it on multiple systems. I hate to get all spergy and "No U" but, umm...no? From my understanding, the GC component cable works by converting the digital signal from its special video port to analog YPbPr video that can be used on a regular TV. The digital-to-analog conversion is why the cable has that proprietary chip in it that no one has really been able to duplicate. Which, in combination with low production numbers to begin with, is why the cable is so expensive. The SNES outputs analog composite, S-Video, and RGB; for the first two formats there's no point to the GC component cable, and for the last one I'm pretty sure the cable doesn't do anything to adapt it. The N64 is the same way, with the added caveat that it doesn't output RGB without a mod. Add to this the fact that the digital video port and connector for the Gamecube do not even appear to be the same as the standard multi-AV port used on the SNES, N64, and GC (for stuff like composite and S-Video), and welp...you'll need to provide some evidence that the GC component cable is usable on multiple systems?

I would rather have the cable regardless as HDMI limits you to wack displays (anything that isnt a CRT)

The digital av out is literally the digital pins from the gpu exposed and the component cable is an alternate DAC to encode the signal into component. If I hazard a guess likely they went internal to support both types of cubes and to get cleaner audio but I haven't looked into them much. You can read a pretty in depth look of the digital port here though http://modretro.com/xen/index.php?threads/component-cable-on-dol-101-gamecube.13251/

I guess that would make more sense. Though I suppose there could be merit to an HDMI-modded system, if only because HDMI is likely not going anywhere for a while, whereas component video is probably going to be defunct soon enough (so far as older retro gaming uses go).
