On another note about Nintendo taking down the NP mags and Metroid alterations: much like Blizzard serving C&Ds to people running vanilla WoW servers against the cries of its fanbase, the matter was "protecting their intellectual property rights", trying to discourage others from doing this, instead of condoning by means of inaction. It makes sense, but it makes them a business, not an rear end in a top hat.

Feel free to drop in: Took me 3 hours, including a phone break and a puppy break, but I got through the whole game. Only missed one bomb upgrade and the red ring, whilst dying twice (once because I was too lazy to wait for a bomb drop). Done for now, but I'm liking the way the stream turned out. It's too bad the Genesis and Nintendo suffer from jailbarring on the EasyCap I'm using, but when I tried to use my Happauge, the quality was MUCH worse.

I may live in some kind of bizarre wonderland, but I've never had an N64 in my possession that had any stick dysfunction. Like, I've only ever seen it in the wild. Is this because I did not own Smash/WWF No Mercy/Mario Party? Or is there a different series of games that turned those things to poo poo and I just missed it somehow?

I once got all ornery about the Guitar Vader song in JSR being the most obnoxious thing in that soundtrack (even moreso than Dragula), made even more obnoxious by its repetition during the "chase the dudes and tag them using the same button as something else" on the Dreamcast... but then I wound up on Gamers.txt in helldump and decided that nobody really cared about what I disliked. People will, time and again, disagree with what I dislike, and more power to them (some of you like the d-pad on Playstation controllers, for instance). But man. Some people are going to like what they're going to like. Like that whole "some guy did a cosmetic and systematic remake of Super Pitfall to make it less lovely" that takes a game that didn't seem like a good effort and turned it into... well... it's not GREAT, but it's a far cry from Pony's original port.

Chainclaw posted:Recommending someone play Diddy Kong Racing is like recommending they place Mario Party 1. That game will destroy your fingers. You have to mash the A button as fast as you can while driving the car, which gets tiring fast. Multiplayer games are basically just endurance matches to see who's fingers get sore first. Gonna have to disagree here. I've never played Diddy Kong Racing before, so I decided to fire it up and play it for about 45 minutes. Got through the boss stage of Dino Valley or whatever it is, ended up doing two Silver Coin challenges, and my thumb (while held down most of the time) never got mashed. Were you thinking of a different game? This one's not bad at all, for a kart racer it's actually very good for a start!

Captain Rufus posted:Well not that close but they are working on it: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/242051-popeye-arcade-8-bit-conversion/page-1 Was with you up until Captain Rufus posted:Menus for the PSP Macross games too while I am dreaming. Yes that wouldn't help the dating parts in the third one but that sort of thing is for bad people anyhow so it is a feature to leave it unusable. I think this is why people get on your case most often. I mean, it's forgivable to say things like "faster leveling/less encounter mods for nearly every JRPG ever" when games like Bravely Default have introduced sliders to increase/decrease random encounters. Heck, I was also turned off by JRPGs by random encounters starting on the NES with good ol' DW1, but some people actually LIKE it. Hell, if they didn't, the grinding trope wouldn't continue to be as prevalent in things like Korean MMOs and so on. While I'm not a guy who is into dating sims at all, perhaps going out of your way to jab at them is a bad call. I, myself, am not at all a fan of strategy games, but I also don't go out of my way to ostracize them by calling them "bad people" just for having a different taste! All right I'm done.

 This happened last night. Bought an $8.50 TV dinner tray, and it was perfect for Typing Of The Dead. Best thing to occur during the game was at the final boss. The question: "What is the biggest lie you've ever told?" And one of the answers was "They are... just cold sores!" Also, for those of you, like Rufus who roll hardcore old, the TV dinner tray also works well for this:

Captain Rufus posted:drat. The best Atari 8 bit with a Lotharek drive? Nice. Not a fan of Atari sticks though. I generally rock an Epyx 500xj or one of my Genesis pads or sticks. I should probably get one of those SMS Alan 9000 sticks on eBay but 70 bucks is pricey even using bat handle sticks the way God intended. Ed Laddin sticks are up there in price too. And are CV and 7800 compatible. I don't have a CV and the 7800 isn't a thing I use a ton since the machine in your picture is the superior classic Atari games experience IMHO. (Until I magically have time and money and talent to both buy an XEGS, HDMI mod it, replace the command buttons with microswitch ones, and mod the detachable keyboard into a Model M clicky bad rear end. I would not hold my breath for this.) While not pictured, I totally rock a Genesis pad when I'm not trying to take fancy pictures. I'm still sad that the Lotharek doesn't emulate cassette tapes, so I can't quite get ALL the games. I wish the same Genesis pad worked in the Vectrex, but I can't seem to get it working right. I've cut the plastic enough, but it won't register. I have an XEGS that I wouldn't mind letting go of, including the light gun and a near-mint grey-capped controller (only non-mint about it is that it's not in the bag it used to be in). Feel free to drop me a PM.

Brocktoon posted:I've been trying to get Galaga working in mame-libretro on my Raspberry Pi 3 but so far have been unsuccessful. When running Galaga on my PC through MAME, I know I need the namco BIN files in the same folder as the rom, and that works fine, but I'm not sure where to put these files in RetroPie. I've tried in the \roms\mame-libretro\ folder and in \bios\mame2003 folder and neither has worked. I've also tried rebuilding the galaga rom with clrmamepro from my roms folder that has the namco BIN files in it, but the resulting rom hasn't worked either. So, first up, you wanna make sure you've got the right romset for the time period it's made for (2003 was a pretty substantial fork, so you'll see that number a lot). Second: keep it zipped. No need to have the loose files. Third: if you boot up RetroPie and then connect a USB stick with a "\retropie" folder at its root, RetroPie will auto-populate the stick with the folders you need. Then, take it out, put it in your computer, put the zip(s) in the folder you want, then eject it from your computer. Put that into your RetroPie, wait until the drive stops flashing, then reboot the Pi. If I missed a step somewhere, or you need more clarification, let me know.

Discount Viscount posted:Gyruss looks a lot cooler on an arcade machine than on a GBA screen. For me, there are two versions of Gyruss that will always stay with me - the Arcade original and the Atari 800 port by Parker Bros. The Atari 800 game (which, I believe, is the same as the 5200 port) is loving balls hard, which is probably why I'm as good at the original as I am. I own 2 copies of the GBA Konami Classics Advanced, and while it's good in a pinch for a portable version, the best home "port" of Gyruss will always be the Playstation "Konami Arcade Classics", where they nailed everything except for the demo/attract. Both versions for the Xbox360 (the standalone title, and the Game Room inclusion) have really poor sound quality, likely attributable to Digital Eclipse (who also butchered the sound for the XBLA port of Symphony of the Night). The NES version was an entirely different game. The Commodore 64 and Colecovision ports are solid efforts that are less rear end in a top hat-y than the straight-up Atari 800 port. If you can play it on a legit cab, do it. This is why I bought mine from the founder of SC3 for $400 back in 2014. But if you can't play it on a cab, play the Playstation port. Sidenote on the "score table loop" video - I love the sound of the stick and button. It's very satisfying.
