Jim Silly-Balls posted:Can you use the pc->gameshark connection to upload saves on N64? There are a couple games I want to get 100% saves for I believe you can do it with GSCC XP. GSCC XP also allows you to copy saves to and from the Controller Pak for sure (though it's a little unreliable, you sometimes need to try a copy twice, it also only addresses the controller paks in slot 1 and 2). You can also dump cartridge ROMs, take screenshots live from the N64, and temporarily freeze game execution entirely. The software also works with Saturn and PlayStation 1 cheat devices with PC connections, and can do memory card copy and write on the PS1. The downside is it really works best in Windows 98, although it'll still work in NT 4.x, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. You'll also need a real parallel port, the usb-parallel adapters they sell to use old printers don't implement the full port - though a parallel port on an ExpressCard, PCMCIA card (for older laptops) or general add-in card for a desktop PC will work fine. http://fishmech.info/gscc_xp.7z Here's the program and associated files, since I'm sure the site I got it off of in 2002 or so is long dead.

If you want to be weeaboo in your pronunciation a "u" at the end of a word is silent. So it is just "eess." Please do not say "sue" or I will sue "you" and "you" should indeed play all of Ys. Awesome 80s commercial goes here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huonYvnmAKw

Turbinosamente posted:I figured there were way more Gundam games than I could comprehend, I was mildly curious if any of the PS2 era ones were worth bothering with. Sound like a no especially since I'm not a fan of any of the series. Encounters in Space is a very fun rail shooter-except-when-it's-not that plays like a jankier Star Fox 64. I feel pretty good about recommending it to someone who isn't a fan of the series, even though it does have some pretty spectacular fan service.

univbee posted:Ease (but more an S than a Z sound at the end). We know this because the Japanese pronounciation (イース) isn't ambiguous. That and Ys is an actual celtic thing, not a nonsense word some Japanese person came up with. Anyway, now that I've almost caught up with all of my work, I'm planning on modding my Famicom this weekend. Holding my breath and hoping I don't ruin it as I pull off thirty year old components...

I happen to have a pentium D laptop with XP and a real parallel port just for this purpose! I'll try it out tonight because I am not 100%-ing goldeneye, SF Rush and Mario Golf again

Random Stranger posted:That and Ys is an actual celtic thing, not a nonsense word some Japanese person came up with. Godspeed. I was planning the same but honestly I think I'm gonna gonna pay MB for it. Also, pronouncing Ys as Eesu instead of Ees is on par with the people who pronounce Space Dandy as Spasu Dandy. Unless Japanese is your first language obviously.

Speaking of Falcom, I've been playing Xanadu (Saturn version, part of the Falcom classics) and it's kind of a fascinating game even if I don't know if I'm actually having fun while I play it.

Ninja Warriors 1987 cannot be the first one with goofy poo poo written on the walls I think Double Dragon started it, as it did most brawler trends. The NES version had GRIGR on a building, and I never understood why. Anyway, don't forget to DRINK WILD SODA, even when the world's overrun by samurai zombies!

Star Man posted:The real challenge is telling people how to pronounce Gradius. It should be Gladius, but they botched it when they put the name back into English. So if you assume that it should be pronounced like Gladius only with an "r" then gray-dee-us is correct. If you're of the opinion that three wrongs make a right (Japanese and English mangling the Latin and screwing up the English name) then grah-dee-us. The real real challenge is "Ryu".

If you're going to go through the trouble of vowel matching the front 'gradi' why don't you go whole hog and match the 'us' too. edit: or just get people to say gladius I guess Nancy fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Mar 16, 2017 |

If you're of the opinion that three wrongs make a right (Japanese and English mangling the Latin and screwing up the English name) then grah-dee-us. There's theoretically a counter from the designer saying that is wrong and the similarity to "gladius" is coincidental, though the interview they mention here isn't ACTUALLY cited so grain of salt. Strategywiki posted:The title Gradius is thought to have been drived from the Latin term for a sword known as a "Gladius". A Gladius was a short sword used in ancient Rome by legionaries. However, the developers went with the name Gradius, and applied the name to the planet that was being attacked by invading aliens. Designer Kengo Nakamura has said in an interview that the chosen name's similarity to Gladius was coincidental.

HKR posted:Speaking of cool things: Likely next to nothing. It is known in the arcade scene that the Korean games are pretty bad, unfortunately. We all groan when something from Afega or SunA or Philiko comes up in BBH's MAME roulette. I actually like most of Dooyong's Z80 hardware shmups, but I seem to be alone in this opinion. Australia brought us fine products like Chicken Farm and Ripper Ribbit, both are amusing but only in a meme-y sort of way. I don't think I've ever heard anything good about a South American original game (this includes all the stuff for the Brazillian SMS). Four words - Russian ZX Spectrum Bootleg. I am unaware of any video game, period, that was ever developed by people in Africa or the Middle East (minus the programmer of the first few Final Fantasies). The Kins posted:Like "fleece" but without the "fl". Yup, it's literally the first word in the US TGCD intro, and I just checked, they pronounce it correctly. Imagine being a 9-year-old kid with one of those systems at launch in 1990 with it hooked up to a nice stereo.
