fishmech posted:Nah the best SimCity is SimCity 2000 for Windows 95 with the fanpatch that lets it run on Windows 7 and up (the patch fixes how the game attempts to open file browser dialogs, since attempting to do that crashes on 7 and up). I can respect that. I like the flexibility that 3000 added to the game, but there was definitely some feature creep going on at that point. As long as we all agree that 4000 wasn't any good.

They only did one more SimCity track, this one. drat shame there weren't more, that soundtrack is absolutely amazing. Have a piano medley, too.

As long as we all agree that 4000 wasn't any good. Yeah I mean stuff like the garbage system and the city trades system was kinda fun... but I really preferred how SC2K let you do things like build hydro dams and wind power and not have to worry about paying for power plant replacement. Also SimCity 3000 only wants to use a few fullscreen resolutions by default - and even when you patch it for others it will get upset if any dimension of the resolution is non-divisble by 8 (so like, a 1680x1050 monitor) and the windowed mode that you can force isn't very flexible either. SimCity 2000 for Windows 95 will happily resize the window to any resolution, including running at full 4K resolutions happily (though at that point you'd wish they'd built a deeper zoom level or two!). I usually end up running it with 1920x1080 and it's just real nice to have the extra space to look over the city:   (This is also btw why I hate that like the GOG version of the game is only the DOS version in DOSBOX, which go above 800x600 or something. They could have put out a patched version of the Windows 95 release for Windows users at least.)

It came up when the kickstarter got going but it's probably worth mentioning again now that it's nearing the end. This is the only kickstarter I've ever backed entirely due to the fact that new third party N64 controllers cost that much and I'm still desperately looking for a mostly functional controller for the system.

I've read somewhere that the n64 and GameCube ports are identical internally so I believe there's a lot of N64 GameCube adapters that work. There's code in the GameCube OS that suggested n64 controllers would work if I recall correctly

Ah, I must have missed it, I was MIA for a few months around the birth of my 2nd kid. Ya, I have don't a couple. I am hoping they release an Atomic Purple version. It appears they may after they ship these out, they specifically mentioned Atomic Purple too. Kinda wish it had internal rumble. They could have had a switch on it, or an internal switch that "disconnects" it when you insert a memory card or transfer pak. I'd be cool with having to insert AAA batteries if the N64 itself does not deliver sufficient power to the controller for internal rumble.

I'd be cool with having to insert AAA batteries if the N64 itself does not deliver sufficient power to the controller for internal rumble. Implementation cost and design/engineering considerations aside, I think it's wise of them to opt for a basic, default controller design that is the same weight as (or lighter than) a regular N64 controller. Including a vibrating mechanism would mean more weight by default for everyone, even if they're probably smaller, lighter and more energy efficient than what Nintendo could source in the mid-1990s. There's also the issue of how the vibration should actually feel, so just including the plug on the front for an original Rumble Pak to handle that is the best option, because it should also give the controller some of the forward heft and vibratory feel of the original N64 controller that people remember and feel comfortable with. Otherwise, they get to deal with the inevitable comments saying that their vibrating mechanism is too weak or too vigorous or it just "feels strange" compared to the original Rumble Pak.

Ya, balance/weight did cross my mind. I wonder how snug the connector is for inserting the pak. Whether it will have that loose rumble feeling or a little tighter that will make it vibrate more and have less of that "shake" feeling. I'd just like internal for selfish reasons, I only have the rumble pak that I had as a kid. The last two I purchased from 2nd and Charles did not work (third party versions), and am too cheap/lazy to buy another.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:I've read somewhere that the n64 and GameCube ports are identical internally so I believe there's a lot of N64 GameCube adapters that work. Er no. The N64 controller port has 3 pins - ground, data and 3.3 volt power. The GameCube controller port has 6 pins - 5 volt power, data, ground, ground, not connected, 3.3 volt power While it's relatively simple to build an adapter that plugs into the GameCube ports and lets N64 controller works, it's only in the same way that it's easy to build a USB adapter for just about everything. The data protocol used between a GameCube controller and the console is both more and less complex than the N64 - the GC has to handle more buttons and a whole second analog stick's info, but the N64 controller has to be able to handle data write/read to memory cards and controlling rumble paks and other such accessories. A simple wire to wire set up is likely to get you scrambled input.

Everyone hated the dog bone controllers because the buttons were angled in the other direction. This one is actually good because it lines up with your thumb and like the Y/B and X/A button on the SNES.

The B and A buttons are also slightly farther apart on the dog bone. That's why I don't like them as much.

I got a copy of star Fox 2 here (one of those repros) and, while it's good, it's also laggy as poo poo and unplayable for more than 30 minutes. It's more of a novelty. I know the snes mini won't have the lag issues, but that doesn't matter because you literally can't buy one gently caress you, Nintendo.

It won't be the same ROM dump you have and the hardware isn't going to change it that much. Chill and wait for the new ROM dump then emulate it.
