Figured I'd post here too, trying to get the NES classic got me to play with my Raspberry Pi for a bit. Are there any actual high quality NES or SNES replica controllers? People's posts here and in the video games thread got me to hook up my Raspberry Pi and it just doesn't feel the same playing Mario with a PlayStation controller.

d0s posted:what problems do you have with it? it doesn't use xinput or anything weird and should work on a RPI with no issues It works, but the quality just feels shoddy and cheap compared to a genuine SNES controller. Though to be fair, I mostly used the NES versions. I'll dig it back out and play with it a bit.

d0s posted:I like the buffalo USB SNES controller, best non-nintendo one I've used by far. d0s posted:what problems do you have with it? it doesn't use xinput or anything weird and should work on a RPI with no issues So upon digging it up, it turns out that I don't have that particular one. Though Amazon showed I ordered it, it appears I actually got this one. Reviewing my 2 year order detail it was sold by a third party so yay for me not noticing. I ordered the Buffalo one, it does look to be reviewed better than the Retrolink one.

h_double posted:NES Double Dragon comes to mind with how you had to unlock moves, in a game that only lasts half an hour and only has about 6-7 moves. Man I forgot about that. How could I forget every playing session beginning with a giant chunk of time kicking a Linda, moving, kicking her again, repeat until a short time left. That and Rygar, which started with my NES Advantage rubber banded down with auto fire on to kill a set of infinitely respawning mobs and then walking away for a half hour to come back with max power ups

I don't know if it's okay to talk about emulators and roms here since it's technically :files: but what is the best way to take a messy giant dump of roms with miscellaneous variations and whittle it down to a manageable list? Scrolling through 30 variations of Super Mario World is a pain in the tush.

Ludicrous Gibs! posted:Yeah, it's a strange thing. But if someone wants to pay me $150 for my copy of the slowdown-plagued Saturn port of Marvel Super Heroes, who am I to say no? Is that still valuable? I would have thought it would have dropped like a brick when it was released on Xbox Live, like how MvC2 did. Though thinking about it, since all those were pulled I guess it's rare again.

Elliotw2 posted:The two Genesis Xmen games are ok. Yeah except the part where you had to reset your Genesis to get past a certain part and years of console gaming had hard coded "NEVER loving RESET YOUR CONSOLE" into my brain. I actually kind of liked the SNES X-Men game, can't remember exactly what it was called, where it was a side scroller but instead of limited "mutant" resources like in the Genesis games you had to do Street Fighter button combinations to do your attacks.

FirstAidKite posted:Have any of you ever played Vinyl Goddess From Mars on a modern PC? I guess the game is considered abandonware and when I tried looking into running it, all I found was stuff about running it through DOS and avoiding windows entirely and I'm not exactly computer literate and Vinyl doesn't strike me as the kind of game that someone would have made workarounds for to get it running on a modern PC. I guess I could Google it myself, but it's that in some way related to Leather Goddesses of Phobos? I remember that was THE dirty game back in the day.

For years I've considered making a cabinet, but I really just don't have the tools or talent to do it. Anyone know of any reputable cabinet makers (ideally in Michigan area) that do quality cabinets? I see tons of sites with Hyperspin installed, or with X-Arcade sticks built in. I don't need a computer, and my experience with X-Arcade has been that they are poopy quality.

Elliotw2 posted:For slightly less, the Buffalo SNES pads are supposed to be really good. I bought a few of them about 5 years ago when I was building a HTPC. 2 of the NES ones, two of the SNES ones. Goal being to have as legit an experience as possible when playing emulated games. The quality was bad. Couldn't even get past 1-1 in Super Mario Brothers due to the combination of bad buttons and input lag delay on my TV. Maybe they have gotten better since. Then the Chromecast came out and my need for an HTPC dropped so it's been unused since. Now I have a RetroPi and the 8bitdo SNES controller and it's awesome (one you get it configured with the various emulators)

I was still pretty young and didn't know about Street Fighter 2 until it came out on SNES. A few friends and I went to the local video game rental store and they had it set up to play. We must have spent two hours fighting each other, then some dude asked if he could play and HE STARTS THROWING FIREBALLS HOLY poo poo. We were having fun just punching and kicking each other, had no idea there were secret codes to do secret moves.

Kid Fenris posted:Altered Beast is fun to mess with, especially when you have two players. But it's short, simple, and built on dull memorization. It doesn't leave you with much of a reason to go back to it. Altered Beast on Genesis was most fun when you used the code to use whatever beast you wanted on whatever level. Dragon all the time!

Eternal Champions was potentially a fantastic game. It had rich character storylines, great stage fatalities that were tough to get, and really cool character design. Then they screwed it up by making the controls weird button combos and special moves limited. Designed for the failed before it launched Activator. Seriously, whoever came up with that said "Remember how successful the Power Glove was? Let's make something that's harder to use! Also it was hard as hell. I'd love to see a remake that uses traditional 6 button fighting game controls and limit the "chi" to super versions of the moves.

Star Man posted:Is it weird that I like things about Silent Hill and the media associated with it but I can't play the game because it scares the loving bajeezus out of me? No, the soundtrack specifically is amazing whether you're a horror fan or not. The style of the monsters is generally awesome too. But man, if you haven't played through Silent Hill 2 you're missing out on one of the greatest video game stories ever.

Doc Morbid posted:Guilty as charged. I can't help it! Silent Hill in general is not a game that is well known for its actual gameplay - it's more of a clumsy interactive movie. The Room is a great game concept and has a genuinely spooky atmosphere. The main reason it's given poo poo is because of the second half being an escort mission back through the levels you already did. There are cool aspects of that, you meet someone on each run through the first time that is murdered and the second time you encounter their ghosts, which are all unique and generally a pain in the rear end. I think it's actually a very good game, it just suffers from being not as good as 1-3 story wise.

Yeah I decided to devote an afternoon to setting up my RetroPi. After 30 minutes or so I was like "oh. Well, what to do with the rest of the day?" Took significantly longer to get my 8bitdo Bluetooth controller working but completely worth it to have a portable NES/SNES/Genesis.

I pulled out my modded PSX a while back just for kicks. After the roughly 9 hours it took to load up and get into the game, I realized it's probably better to just play my actual games on ePSXe.

I was just talking to a friend last night about my gaming systems growing up. I sold my NES and a bunch of games to get a TurboGrafx 16, and of course regretted it. Later I sold my SNES and games to Funcoland for enough store credit to get WWF WrestleMania for the PlayStation. Obviously that was a huge regret. Between that and selling all my Transformers, GI Joe's and Star Wars figures, I have a lot of remorse which has led to never selling anything now. Even if it sits in storage untouched, it's there. I'm not so hard up for cash that I need to sell my gaming stuff so I just keep it to avoid future possible regret.

Random Stranger posted:Still playing Might and Magic. My characters have reached level 7 and I've reached a point where the explosion of directions I can go in has become pretty overwhelming. Every dungeon and town has portals to other dungeons and towns and you can wander all of the place. I've got a dozen maps less than half filled in from sticking my nose into places and then getting kicked out. I found the merchant pass that lets me into castles to get quests, but the first quest I took seems to be pretty nasty to get into. I also found a hermit that offered to trade; saying yes took all of my inventory items away and gave me some pirate maps. Since I had significant items in my inventory when that happened, I just had to reload. I feel this post, I had a binder full of Might and Magic 2 maps. Which led to mapping out EverQuest, such was a nightmare.

fishmech posted:I never saw an actual NES box until I was like 9, because everyone I knew with an NES had gotten them either long ago or as a hand me down, and the boxes long lost. And even when I went to Funcoland or Gamestop, the only NES games on the shelves were bare carts. Yeah, all the game storage for NES games encouraged you to dump the box and just keep the sleeve. Same with SNES games. Genesis had cases that kept.

Star Man posted:I remember selling my PS2 copy of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on eBay for over $50 in 2009. I still can't believe I got that much for it then. MvC2 was an insanely rare game, and if people didn't have a Dreamcast it was in high demand. Personally, the day they put up the teaser site that people suspected was an announcement for MvC2 on 360 and PS3, I put my PS2 copy up and sold it for $90.
