Kid Fenris posted:It'll be nice if they release that anthology here. Seiken Densetsu 3 was the number one "Why Don't They Translate This?!" game from my childhood. The answer turned out to be "software bugs made localization too much trouble for a game that wouldn't be out in the U.S. until the Super NES market faded," but try telling that to the RPG-crazed kids who wrote 90,000 letters a month to Nintendo Power and GameFan. Any chance of them just ripping off the Corlett/DeJap translation if SD3 does actually make it here? Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Mar 22, 2017 |

No, because even though it's work based on a reverse engineered ROM, the translation was new work and homebrew tools were made/used for the project. They're also no more less likely to pay for the work as it would be a nightmare to track down everyone who ever touched the project to have their OK for their work to be used.

Prism posted:I personally don't think they really need more than one version of the same game in there, and if you're going for maximum nostalgia it's the Game Boy one. (It should not be Sword of Mana. Sword of Mana was not good.) If I wished for a game to be added to it, it would be Legend of Mana, but that's probably too much to ask. Agreed that the original GameBoy one should be there no matter what. But I think it should have had more for that price tag ~$43 US. For that much, I would assume 5-6 games, not 3 emulated ports of games that would be 1/2 that price compared to other virtual console games of those systems. But ya, definitely should have FF Adventure. Jim Silly-Balls posted:Yep, bought my first SNES in 2015, despite being in my mid 30's, I was just a Genesis kid, that's all Yep, similar here. Didn't get my first SNES until the past few years. Was stuck with 2600, NES, C64 and PC games until the N64 and PS1 came out. That said, I have no developed nostalgia for the SNES since I only played SNES games at friends/relatives' houses growing up (mostly Street Fighter II and Mario Paint), but I appreciate the console, especially for RPGs. Same thing with Sega, played a bunch of games at friends houses, more than I did SNES, but I have 0 nostalgia. Though I'm not a huge fan and sold my Genesis and just play the handful of games I have gotten for it on a Retron5 and RetroGen on my SNES.

So I was listening to some gaming music on Youtube at work and this came up on the auto playlist and I'm wondering how I've never run into it, maybe it came up before!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnLAC5AJPuM That  guitar intro  The original for comparison just in case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTQIiIKummw Incidentally, this was on before it which I have seen in the thread before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urc9Zif-t4Y

^^sup Loudness! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B92FJPZkfdc I've been replaying Thunder Force 4 over the last week or so and two things struck me about that game: one, it's not nearly as easy as I remember it being on Mania (as opposed to TF3 which is a cakewalk no matter the setting) and two, there is a lot of music in that game - well over an hour's worth of tunes - so if you like crunchy FM guitar you'll get just as much fun out of the sound test as the game proper.

I feel like I'm the only one who thinks the 64C is better looking, so of course my only 64 is a breadbox, though all my peripherals are from the 64C/128 era (1541-II drive and 1084 monitor). Too bad I just won a 64C case/keyboard on ebay to put my mobo in because we could have worked out some trade e: also you should play space taxi because its the best C64 game, or at least tied for that position with uridium d0s fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Mar 22, 2017 |

I'll add that game to the list. It's not that the 64c is particularly bad looking, but the 64 has such a classic look.

Yeah it's undeniably a classic design and it's the one I should be kinda nostalgic for since a breadbox 64 was the first retro computer I got into and what really got me into the entire hobby of retro computers back in the mid 90's when I found an amazing setup at a flea market. Now I just feel like it clashes with my amiga gear as it's hooked to the same 1084 If you plan to get a SD2IEC (you really should), here's my SD card zipped up: http://www.filedropper.com/sd2iec_1 just format a card as FAT32 and drop that in the root directory, there's a selector program so you can just enter LOAD"*",8 and it loads the interface. Every game there has been tested to work both with SD2IEC and NTSC, it's actually kind of a bitch to find stuff because most 64 stuff on the web is PAL versions and in addition the SD2IEC doesn't support true drive emulation so a lot of cracked games with custom loaders etc don't work. I had to spend a lot of time on csdb.dk going through different releases of stuff to find working ones and I'm still exploring the library (just got my SD2IEC a few days ago) so there's not like tons of stuff there yet but it's a good start and most of the classics are there Here's where I got my SD2IEC from btw, it's the cheapest one I could find but works perfectly and build quality is actually pretty great: http://www.ebay.com/itm/182481218507 EDIT: Be sure to get a Fast Load cart too, especially if you get a SD2IEC as it speeds everything up quite a bit. if you're dealing with real floppies, it speeds some stuff up but some stuff has it's own built in fastloader and won't run with it plugged in. Here's some stuff that works as a fast load, though there are plenty others (final cartridge, etc): http://www.ebay.com/itm/322453429959 https://www.thefuturewas8bit.com/shop/commodore/eflr.html E2: Another benefit of the fastload cart is that it give you a quick shortcut to the LOAD"*",8,1 command, you only have to press the Commodore key and RUN/STOP button and it will automatically run that command.

It is definitely a pretty special game. I'm not sure how badly it has aged but I'd have to believe its still a lot of fun. I liked it enough at the time to actually play through it a full 3 times to get the extra ending.

One more vote for the C64c being better, but it's the only one I've ever had, so I'm biased. I prefer the (admittedly small) space for my palms to rest; the breadbox just kinda goes vertical the second you get past the spacebar.

I opened up the disk drive, there's one burned tantalum capacitor and inductor on the drive PCB that I can probably just replace. Seems to be a fairly common problem with these, so maybe all the other tantalums need to go too. The C64 itself still works fine, and if you were going to get a disk drive emulator maybe you don't need a 1541 anyway. I'd do $75 plus whatever shipping is, whether you want the 1541 or not. email hoffmaa1 at uci dot edu.  e: maybe I should go make a SA-Mart thread, I had a lot of PC stuff in this closet I should get rid of. PC Engine games, a Shuttle PC from 2002ish, a 90s Toshiba laptop, Blue and White G4, a Sound Blaster AWE64. Grapeshot fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Our C64 disk drive died in the mid-90's and my dad just got rid of everything but the monitor so I could use that for the NES and N64 thereafter since he couldn't find a replacement drive in the trading post or pawn shops (eBay and craigslist really are blessing no matter how crappy they have become). That is disappointing that it could have been a simple fix, but I was 10 or 12 when that happened, so I couldn't have fixed it either way, though he usually cracked open our appliances and electronics to fix them and was successful most of the time.
