DoctorWhat posted:99.99% of turn-based RPGs are bad, including every Final Fantasy that uses the formula. This sums up how I feel, but the only ones I've enjoyed were pokemon. I just get so bored with them. My favorite RPG is Final Lap Twin.

Theoretically, you could make a nintendo av cable that had simultaneous composite, svideo, and rgb output, couldn't you? They're always outputting, right?

Random Stranger posted:Bayonetta 2 and no mention of Wonderful 101? Hey there, nbd but just letting you know you can echo and add to someone's recommendations without coming off as criticizing them. Sorry to call you out on this, I've started noticing this and it's become a pet peeve. I've probably also been guilty of this, but will try to be better! You know, I probably came off this way in my post: RZA Encryption posted:Don't forget yoshi's woolly world. It feels thoroughly nintendo. Though I honestly meant the "don't forget" to be directed towards the person that just got the Wii U. More like a "don't overlook this game".

Zand posted:just letting you know, you can assume that people are not being assholes instead of assume they are. isn't it nicer to just change your perspective instead of ask everyone else to change their behavior? sorry to call you out on this, but pffffffffffff zzzzzzz Sorry if I worded that poorly. I didn't mean to assume bad intentions. Some context is lost in text-only communications and people can phrase things in ways that are interpreted very differently depending on the reader. I think that making posts like "how could you forget _____?" come off as elitist. Suggestions should always be welcome, but don't imply someone hosed up if they didn't suggest what you wanted them to. Even if the posters aren't sensitive to this it could make this thread come off as insular to observers and prevent new people from coming in.

The Milkman posted:Got my CustomGameCases.com order last week, a dozen N64 and one GB to try out. The GB case is quite similar to a DS case, but obviously fitted for a gameboy cart inside. Cart fits snugly, clips for the manual inside. I bought a bunch of the GB ones, but now that I have both gb and gba everdrives I'm thinking I don't need them. Cases take up a lot of room. Great if you have the room, though.

The manual does fit into the lid part you just have to be careful closing it back up.

AbrahamLincolnLog posted:Hopefully the PS2 is considered "retro" enough for this thread! I looked and couldn't find any other threads related to it. I haven't used capture cards in a long time, so they may have improved, but I remember them adding an amount of lag that would make playing non-chess games unbearable.

Now that is enough of a lag that you probably don't want to show off a bullet hell shooter, but for recording most things for the Internet it's not going to kill you. Like I said, it's been a while.

Drowning Rabbit posted:I know it's not all that 'Retro' but I've always been fascinated by the Game Boy Micro. Anyone have one of these that could give some impressions? Screen too small to be useful? I keep considering it for games that I have yet to finish like Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion. I have an old as dirt flash cart for GBA somewhere I know too. The screen is beautiful and I would have no problem using it for long periods of time if the hand cramping didn't prevent that.

Miles McCloud posted:I've never played a Zelda game longer than half an hour or so. This is the one I'd most like to remedy, as Breath of the Wild looks like something I'd enjoy. Where in the series is best to start? I'm thinking Zelda DX for GBC looks like a good place personally. Start with A Link to the Past, I think it represents Zelda in it's purest form.

This gonna be nerdy af and very specific, but does anyone have a youtube playlist of "christmasy"(or just wintery) sounding video game music? I'm listening to "White Land" on the F-Zero soundtrack and it's making me want to listen to some seasonally appropriate VGM.

My parents had a trinitron for about 20 years that had an rgb scart input. In Florida. EDIT: I'm wrong, it had RGB, but not an SCART connector. Looks closer to an IDE cable. (not my picture)  The pinout is in the manual, so we probably could have gotten something rigged up. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/851678/Sony-Kv-20xbr.html?page=19#manual Wayne Knight fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Nov 4, 2016 |

Neddy Seagoon posted:One thing I don't get with the NES Mini; If they're going to save a few bucks and not include a power supply (it uses USB) to minimize e-Waste or whatever, why the gently caress did Nintendo not just do the sane thing and use their goddamn 3DS power supplies instead? The ones readily available for about $15 Australian and used with most of the Nintendo handhelds for the past decade? Because the idea is to use something that you have lying around, and the intended audience are more likely to have usb chargers than 3DS chargers.
