Cliche Guevara posted:So what's the deal w that Gamerztek Pi 3 or whatever? $150 but it emulates everything you throw at it until circa 1999. Pretty big deal imo... Idk how much pi 3s are, but you could calculate exactly how much they're charging you for a case and a cheap SNES controller knock off.

What are some good baseball games? I was playing Cal Ripken Jr on SNES last night, which I think controls well, but doesn't have real teams or stadiums. Then I moved to Triple Play Gold on the genesis, which has real teams and ok controls. Finally I jumped to MLB 2k13 on the PS3, which of course has incredible representations of the stadiums and even the fans wear different outfits representing their home team, but you need to take a course on the controls there. Way too much going on there. Compared to the other games I've mentioned this is like the difference between Daytona USA and Forza. I remember Ken Griffey Jr. on the n64 being good, but I haven't played it in close to a decade, so I don't know of it holds up. What's good with an mlb license and controls that you don't have to think about?

Allen Wren posted:Triple Play 99 is what I would suggest. It's got the framework of modern controls, but they're nowhere near as complex or fiddly as what they're like now, and every time you turn it on, you get a lecture on baseball history from Solid Snake. Thanks! I'll have to give this a shot.

Phantasium posted:I missed this, or else I would have mentioned that the MLB got the rights to RBI Baseball in 2014 and deliberately made a game that is barely more complicated to control than the NES game. I think most people hate it but I played 2014 and 2015 and they seemed alright to me. Oh hell yeah, I need to try this out. I wish there was a physical release, though. =[

Ugh I finally got around to attempting to install my n64rgb and I just found out that I have the smallest video encoder chip, so I need an adapter. Guess it'll have to wait a little bit longer.

Could you rig up some mechanism to allow you to rotate it and lock it into place? Then each player could decide.

Yeah the only repro I would consider getting is starfox 2, but even then it's difficult to justify because it's not that great of a game.

Wamdoodle posted:Oh, how does it feel? I ordered mine really late and haven't received it yet. How is it? I got it because I like the idea of a retro "fantasy console" that you can tinker with. Hopefully it doesn't rile the thread up too much talking about it It's super neat, but in a portable computer kind of way, not like a game system. If you've ever owned or held a cybiko, it feels like what that would be if made today. For gaming/programming, if you liked warioware diy you'll love this.

fishmech posted:Yes, the original Game Boy screen is 4.7 by 4.3 cm, the Game Boy Pocket is 4.8 by 4.4 cm, and the Game Boy Color one is 4.4 by 4 cm. But it handles low light better and of course it's actually in color, so it's a fair trade off really. What's particularly nice is that the GBC has the least ghosting on screen of any of those three. The gbc screen is waaay nicer than the pocket. https://youtu.be/kRRKqgoyUn8

Monitor Burn posted:Someone asked about old game boxes a while back in the thread; here's mine that survived from the 90's (other than UN Squadron which I found boxed on Amazon a few years ago): Woooow that looks super good. Hey, do you happen to have any of Tim Worthington's "Fine pitch DAC adapter for N64RGB" lying around? I need to get one, but the distance it will have to travel is making me put it off, which makes no sense because now it'll be even longer before I get one. It'd be neat to buy one off someone already in the US.

Monitor Burn posted:I don't, but the DAC adapter does qualify for the budget $5AUD shipping service (as does the N64RGB itself). Do you already have the board and just need the adapter? Correct. My wife got me the board for christmas, and I recently got around to installing it only to find I have the really tiny dac (MAV-NUS). Oh well, I just need to actually get around to ordering it.

MrSlam posted:I'm thinking of getting rid of our ancient TV to replace with a slick HDTV. Problem is I'm also thinking of getting into retro-gaming. Do the cheapest thing that's going to let you play games. If you end up liking it more than just a fad, slowly upgrade. If you get the retron, you can start playing right away, you can build up a cart collection, and you can use original controllers. Many people in this thread are hardline against it for purity reasons, but don't let that stop you from playing games. The retron 5 seems like a great way to get going quickly.

Shadow Hog posted:Shame you can't upload poo poo to the level servers with that version. Seems like a really bizarre handicap, regardless of their stated intention of making it more about local experiences. Yeah, I don't get it. Globally, you're likely to see some cool levels. It's going to be a very boring game for people in rural areas. I've been holding out hope for an update that allows you to bundle your levels as "worlds" or even "games" complete with overworld maps.

Some thoughts while I'm sitting at home, sick and playing games. I really like the bit generations series. Gameboy games on a TV still feel like gameboy games. The difference in the size of the viewport is really apparent. I want a new, hd, 2d focused console.

The local retrogames meetup group closed recently, and I was thinking about starting a new one, but with a twist. It would be specifically a handheld gaming meetup. I figured it would be better since there would be less equipment to haul and you could meet in parks instead of people's houses. I really don't want some of those people in my apartment. Does this sound like a good idea, and if so what games would be good? Def. MKDS, but I was thinking also the handheld Mario Parties. Multiboot games would be great, so not everyone needs the game.
