You have to go into the mail app and open up a message to boot into it but it's still pretty good. I found SNES games ran perfectly, but on a n3ds xl you get perfect SNES emulation and pixel perfect visuals. Naturally the SNES games don't look as good on a Vita since it has a higher resolution screen. Also the Vita memory card prices are a huge annoyance. I don't think anything ever came of that guy making 3G adapter to microsd converters, sadly.

The only time since launch day Sony has done anything regarding the Vita is patch firmware the second anybody publicizes an exploit which is annoying. You never made a single game for this fantastic hardware you assholes! Just give it over to the people!

I'm playing though final fantasy III (aka FF6, the one with Terra, Sabin, etc.) For the first time. Fun game, but I stepped away for a few weeks and now I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. Guess I'll just have to find a walkthrough and find my place and the start on the next questline or whatever. Like, I hate the extent to which many modern games hold your hand, but there is definitely a middle ground to be struck here. E. Awesome; thanks! I'll check when I get home from work, but I feel like I was just about to get access to the espers (I had just finished the "split into three groups" section where you have bannon in the 3person group, but will provide more specifics later).

If you explicitly list which characters you have access to currently, where you are (nearest town/dungeon), and any major things you have (e.g. Espers, airship etc.) it can probably be very easily narrowed down here. For the most part, FF3/6 is actually pretty linear so it wouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I've been doing a lot of work on my X2 to make it work well with my setup. First up is tate mode on arcade boards do not work properly with consumer LCDs as seen with my naomi: Taito X2 has this same problem as it expects tate to be the opposite direction however X2 doesn't actually rotate the display at all, it just has the graphics all flipped in the software for the game. A little bit of messing around with Windows I was able to figure out how to flip the monitor upside down  Which resulted in working tate mode  After that I converted the process to executables I can launch from the menu so switching games just requires launching the rotation exe and rotating my monitor. With that fixed I wanted a better menu system which I figured out how to force the X2 to run in 720p mode.  And now my X2 has been pimped  If only fixing Naomi were this simple

So I've been getting into Mega Man recently and had a question about the X series. How come X2 and X3 for SNES sell for $100+ each, but you can get the X collection on PS2 which has X1 - 4 for the cost of any regular old game? Is it just that people want the authentic SNES experience or is there something wrong with the PS2 collection, gameplay-wise or something?

If it makes you feel any better, when I was a junior in high school with my first job in 2003, I was discouraged from ever trying to buy CIB copies of those games for $60 on eBay. They've always been ridiculous.

The original games were always valuable but as far as differences in the X collection, X3 is the PS1 version and there are small bits in I believe X2 and X3 that no longer have slowdown which make them slightly harder.

How come X2 and X3 for SNES sell for $100+ each, but you can get the X collection on PS2 which has X1 - 4 for the cost of any regular old game? Like others said people are just paying stupid amounts of money for SNES games. X3 actually is a bit of an uncommon game for real compared to the first two but nowhere near enough to warrant what you see it sell for today. I actually kind of hate X3 myself which is an unpopular opinion but it just does nothing for me compared to 1 and 2. The worst is how a lot of the music you can tell is unintentionally offkey. The PSX version's music lacks the punch of an SNES chiptune but it's at least in tune. But I just didn't like any of the bosses, most of the music tracks are bizarrely short (some are literally 30 seconds long before they loop), and playing a Zero is done in a half-assed and restricted way that feels not worth it for him not being particularly super powerful compared to X. I have to sell all my SNES stuff, looking again now it really is crazy.

How come X2 and X3 for SNES sell for $100+ each, but you can get the X collection on PS2 which has X1 - 4 for the cost of any regular old game? Megaman X2 and X3 are CX4 expansion chip games. As a result they always cost a bit more new, and people who have older flashcarts for the SNES can't play them on their flashcarts and so are more likely to buy these games if they want to play on the original hardware. Both games also didn't sell that well, especially X3. It also means that's it much harder for there to be a flood of modern counterfeit cartridges out there to drag down prices and be passed off as genuine. Note that Megaman X3 was also natively available on the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and the 3DO and those disc-based versions are rather cheap - so if you want to play the original game on original hardware, PlayStation version is probably the way to go. And of course the PS2 collection is just another disc based version which there's tons of available, pretty unusual for collections including games that are expensive for the original system to be expensive themselves. But anyway, there's been plenty of copies of the SNES carts that have sold on eBay and Amazon in the past few months for around 50 to 60 bucks, they just tend to sell fast when they go up. Remember that just looking at the normal listings can be deceptive as unreasonably high prices are likely to persist for longer.

I had to look up if there was a 3DO release for Mega Man X3 because I had never heard of that before. It turns out that there was supposed to be, but that edition never was released. But there is a PC version that did get an English-language release in Europe.

PS3's weren't really cheap when the PSTV launched, especially in Japan (late 2013, remember, PS4 wasn't even out yet). The PSTV was less than half the cost of a PS3 and like infinity times smaller. Sony could have crushed it in the "college dorm" demographic super-easily with the right library of party games, which are limited on PSTV but do exist, like Towerfall Ascension.  Also Tekken 2.
