univbee posted:Système Écran Couleur Avec Mémoire (color screen system with memory), used in France and Eastern Europe way back when. Right. The French invented it around the same time that PAL was being developed, and adopted it because PAL was Not Invented Here™. East Germany and the rest of the Warsaw Pact countries adopted it specifically because it wouldn't work with West Germany's PAL broadcasts.

So like... I can tell the lovely AtGames plug and play things apart from a real Genesis, sound-wise, but I really can't tell any of the official revisions apart. Are my ears just broken?

The cheaper CRTs (so pretty much everything non-Sony) did the whole 60Hz refresh rate but didnt understand the NTSC color signal so unless you used an RGB cable youd get a black and white picture. Because of this shops usually talked anyone chipping their PSX into buying an RGB lead with it cause obviously youre modding your system for imports

By the late 90s most TV sold in PAL territories could do NTSC just fine. Even a generic thing my family bought in 1996 could display it.

The very first Sony Trinitron I hauled in my apartment after starting to play on a real CRT again didn't support NTSC, only PAL. I only had PAL consoles at the time, but when I started to get into imports, I had to change the CRT. Which is a shame since it was otherwise very good. But like mentioned even in Euroland there were many models that did have 60hz / NTSC support, especially later models.

Are my ears just broken? Eh, you'd have to listen pretty closely on not-lovely speakers. The newer revisions (nearly all of them) tend to introduce excessive filtering and distortion, so it sounds kind of muffled. I personally like it because it's what I grew up with. Emulators without any kind of filtering enabled sound awful to me.

Hydro Thunder on the Dreamcast is one of my favorite games. I've picked up a couple steering wheels to try to get a better experience. I just wanted to show you guys this. I picked it up at a retro shop for $20 a few years ago. The internet has almost zero information on it. It "works" but the pedals don't go the full analogue range, so you can't hit the high speed. I've been meaning to take it apart, but haven't gotten around to it. My Dreamcast is unhooked and I got another steering wheel so it hasn't been a priority. Edit: time!

Like a year now? But I still use the H option on imgur. Timg still loads the full image into memory, and that crashes awful.apk a bunch. Typical photo, timg'd or not, 3-8 MB "Huge" option on imgur: around 300k To use the imgur option, put a lower case "h" before the ".jpg". 12345.jpg becomes 12345h.jpg. I wish timg would die. It's a terrible memory hog, and a dumb hack.

I just resize my photos because it's muscle memory to make everything I post on the web 56k/1024x768 friendly. the advent of smartphones right as hires displays and broadband became the norm made it never a bad idea to use small images e: I still use timg if I want to post something where detail needs to be seen, but even then I downres it from original photo size to something like 1600 pixels wide and compress it to a 10 or so in photoshop d0s fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Feb 7, 2017 |

It's true that PCE and MD have more and better shooters but calling SNES "the worst" for them is kinda hyperbolic. See other perfectly fine recommendations in the past few pages, there's more than super aleste though I also think it's the best on the system. There are many other systems with far worse libraries for them e: Rirse posted:But the SNES had that shump with the old guy playing the banjo on the box! That's Phalanx and it's a port of an X68000 game, actually pretty good once you get your weapons set up right

Rirse posted:But the SNES had that shump with the old guy playing the banjo on the box! Not a bad game, actually. But, yeah, the SNES isn't a great platform for shoot-'em-ups. Weirdly, I think that while the Genesis was better, most of the good ones were super early releases which might reflect part of why the genre never really landed on the SNES. It might be a situation that the genre was fading in the home market by 1990 and the SNES was the last guy to market of the big three at that time (and no, I'm not including the 7800 with that). So the genre got roots in the PC Engine, found some success on the Genesis until they faded away, and just sputtered on the SNES. Erluk posted:edit: ha ha what the hell?

None of theirs seems to match this design. Not saying you're wrong. I'm just gonna caulk it up to some crazy company making a few things and folding before the internet was big enough to remember them. Maybe I'll send it to one of the Dreamcast YouTube channels. Anyway here's the only markings on the box that could be close to a serial number... there's also a up, but google didn't have it.  Which is weird because mine is orange, like the picture on the box, but unlike any of the options.

Shadow Hog posted:The U.N. Squa has drowned nooooo  So speaking of amazing games, come to find out a friend of mine is now playing Symphony of the Night for the first time. I envy him, I wish I could be experiencing that for the first time again, what an amazing game. He just found the Bat spell and killed Richter. He said it didn't feel like a very good ending, I told him, maaaan you have so much more to go before the real ending... as far as I know he's going into it totally blind. Should be fun when he thinks he's done, and he's only really halfway there.
