Son of a Vondruke! posted:I just bought one of these. It's not exactly top of the line, but it works great for emulation. I've only tried it on PC, but it works on PS4 if you've got one of those too. You're not gonna find anything this good for cheaper than $40.

For a second I thought you just went mono to stereo, then back stereo to mono again. I'm sure that setup exists somewhere in the world and has solved a problem. I ordered parts for a RetroPie yesterday. Should be a fun project. I hope I can get my preferred controller solution to work, which is a Wii Classic controller connected via a lovely, like really lovely USB adapter that Windows won't recognize if it's plugged in on startup. You have to start Windows, the plug in the adapter, and only then plug in the controller. Probably that's the less fun part.

Welp, setting up a Retropie was just about the easiest thing I've ever done with emulators. Even homebrewing my Wii was more complicated. Someone said earlier they were apprehensive about it and as someone whose Linux skills are limited to knowing that penguins live at the south pole, and not to mess around with rm -r, go for it, you almost can't do anything wrong. Even my kludges controller solution works out of the box. Granted, I did mess up the overscan settings to the point where I now have to dig around in some config file or other, but I guess I'll learn something in the process.

Wizgot posted:Has anyone realized how amazing old video game magazines are? I've been looking through publications like EGM, Super Play and Video Games and Computer Entertainment. I didn't grow up with this stuff but its just so interesting to look through all the articles and think, "this was the only stuff these guys had to get information". The advertisements are sick too. My parents kept them all these years, actually. I gave them to a friend of mine who's big into retrogames and video game archiving. Last I heard he wanted to scan them. Should maybe tell him not to waste his time, actually.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:I loved Gamefan but after they gave Earthbound a terrible review I cancelled my subscription like a whiny 13 year old (which I was). Not just in magazines, either, I recently read an old review for Planescape: Torment on Eurogamer that made it out as pretty mediocre, because the fact that you constantly respawned took all the tension out and with conversation giving out ten times as much XP as combat, the XP system was obviously out of balance.

I'm not deep into arcade sticks and therefore not sure I'm getting this right, but it looks like there are sticks on the market that do this out of the box. Ultimarc E-Stik, the first one I found through some cursory googling.

That FMV in LttP sure is something. Different strokes and all, and they're better than the CDi sequences, but a big part of why I play retro games is that you can be knee deep in the story in the time it takes modern games to give you movement control, and, well...

With the SNES RPGs that's a major advantage. You couldn't even pay me to accept a SNES Classic if it had the German translations of the time. They were beyond awful.

Drone posted:Edit: on another topic, how do people feel about emulators that introduce overlays or scanlines to try to replicate a CRT look? I haven't seen a CRT TV in action in over 10 years and honestly can't remember enough about how the picture looked to tell you if the type of stuff replicated here looks decent or like absolute poo poo. And I can't decide if I like it or not.

Hell, if they ever make an LCD TV with a built in scanline shader, I'll consider that. As it is I'm having a hell of a time finding anything anymore that has any inputs beyond HDMI and VGA-if-you're-lucky. Years ago I found a TV/monitor combo that featured just about every input under the sun and I bought two of those. Turns out though that the one thing they can't do is compensate for overscan and it's getting a bit obvious with PS4 games.

I'm this close to pulling my old N64 out of storage when I go visit my parents over Christmas, even though I'm well aware that at least one controller is busted and the other won't be looking much better after all this time, that most games I have are frankly a bit poo poo and that even if I did get a flashcart, I'd barely play the thing and just wonder why I spent so much cash on a flashcart.

Then again, if you can get a Classic Controller Pro for it, that's an excellent gamepad choice and will serve you well far beyond just emulating NES games. One thing I think emulators on the Wii don't do at all though is shaders, so if you're after those sweet scanlines, watch out, or use a CRT obviously.

RZA Encryption posted:I'm re-playing Skyward Sword and holy moly the controls are not good. I appreciate what they were going for, but the Wii controller just isn't good enough at recognizing my movements. This isn't very retro but today I got hold of a new copy of Nier - I always thought it was a semi-hard game to get a hold of, and there it was sitting on a store shelf where it had to have been for six years. Not a really great find, but I sure didn't expect to see it in the wild, much less in a store I'd been to lots of times before.

Not the Acclaim ones, definitely (WWF Warzone and Attitude, ECW). THQ published ones are pretty good, and moves are pretty much just direction + button. WWF No Mercy is probably the best, but launch copies can have a fairly serious bug that erases saved data. WWF Wrestlemania 2000 is pretty decent as well. They made WCW games before they got the WWF license, but I'd hazard a guess that earlier = worse.

Since I set up my Retropie I messed around with a lot of shaders and stuff, but the single biggest jump towards that oldschool CRT look was just turning down the render resolution to 640x480, turning on video smoothing and applying a simple scanline overlay. And I'm not even sure the first step is necessary.

I wouldn't have thought you could put 100 different SNES games in a box and have the total value come to 10 grand unless you specifically picked the very most valuable ones. More to the point, the collector seems to have posted on byuu's forum that he's on the most basic form of welfare, and he should probably not make that public because if our welfare office finds out he's sitting on a multiple ten grand collection he is super turbo hosed (champion edition).
