not retro

>>10887007
ttyd was released in 2004

>>10886998
i only play remakes of remakes

Not retro

>>10886989
At this point, it doesn't matter anymore.

Not reading all that
Not retro

>>10886994
It's not about things being retro, it's about what works.

>>10886985
It appears to be some kind of playstation 2 controller

>>10886985
pure unfiltered impeccable immaculate kino

It was usually to prevent Japanese consumers from importing games from abroad in order to pay lower prices. This is the same reasoning why music albums from international artists release special editions of their albums for the Japanese market which often include alternative versions of songs or sometimes entire songs that aren't on the album in other regions.

To use the Super Famicom as an example, games were around 10,000 yen new (not always, but many were) but an American copy was like $50. With the exchange rate at the time you could have just imported a western copy and saved yourself $40. Some people did this anyway but they had to import the system (problematic because of voltage differences) or get an adapter of some sort (which was rare at the time).

I didn't even remember it was letterboxed till I played it again last year, so mustn't have been a big issue. There was a good reason the game had mandatory widescreen anyhow: they didn't want to put Leon in the centre of the screen like contemporary third-person shooters, as that would obscure the things you're shooting at.

People were just happy to be able to set something to widescreen. I want to say a lot of VHS and DVDs were like this too. A luxury feature

I remember the PS2 version being advertised as having "true widescreen" in reference to the Gamecube original having letterboxing in 4:3.

Never minded it.

>>10886946
>>10886981
The game didn't actually support widescreen properly until the PS2 release. Gamecube was just letterboxed, and if you had a 16:9 screen it'd pillarbox it, too.

Is this a hidden heckin' gem?

Working Designs was still making crap translations in the PS2 era? Also i played Gungriffon on Saturn, it was fine i guess.

You get used to it.

>>10886838
No.

>>10886836
finally a game for left handers!

>>10886884
The manual has the Working Designs team note they "fixed button layouts" so I have to wonder how different the controls are in the Japanese version.

>>10886749
My only gripe with the game is that, despite what the box says, the "campaing" is only 1 player, super star and Dreamlad 3 were 2 players, and Goemon's great adventure on N64 had 2 players and was in 3d, so why not Kirby 64?.
I really like above the clouds. Good reendition of butter building

One of the best looking n64 games

Baby game with nonce fanbase.
play KDL2, the patrician Kirby game for BIG BOYS.

>>10886858
It's impressive how many unique assets the game has, every single level looks different and even has unique setpieces in it. You look at something like NSMB and how shameless it is at recycling material and you gain new appreciation for the effort that went into this game.

>>10886853
Fair but the knockout minigame on the floating chessboard was the tits

>>10886801
Relax. Play Cyberpunk 2077. You'll feel better.

>>10886804
They are going to replace humans with robots IRL. Thats the big thing.
We must kill the machines.

>>10886806
Why die fighting the inevitable? Join us. This is fun. And just think! All the vidya you could ever want to play. From all eras, new as retro and beyond.

>>10886810
Nope.
I’m going to strap a bomb to my chest and blow up the robot factories.

Without limitation there is no art and there is no beauty.
There is no meaning.
It will be the end of everything.

>>10886814
Sounds pretty dramatic. Best wishes, friend.

>>10886680
do people still play? that's pretty fucking dope anon.

When will the endless Saturnposting end

>>10886648
mega drive can do 3d too

>>10886648

>>10886613
Don't know which version is best, or even if there are any major differences. I've only tried the c64 version. Make sure to play with the manual so you can read the room descriptions for added atmosphere.

>>10886843
it seems the C64 version has the best sound and moves the quickest, I'll get the manual thanks

>>10886808
Cause you baby

So THAT'S what those little fuckers were trying to say!

i played this as a small child and I have fond memories of it

I think it's the best Yoshi Island game.

>>10886591
maybe, but it is cute. my autistic furry ftm femboy fwb really liked it as a kid. maybe it's for children and not manchildren

What's wrong with going on local ads and looking for people selling GTA3 copies? If you can't see the CD ask them to take a picture

I used to have a demo disc for the PC and finding that shit has proven to be impossible. I don't remember anything about it, just that the box was red maybe and it had tons of demos. "That"'s a fucking nightmare to find

>>10886482
>>10886509
So let me get this straight OP you want an iso of gta 3 with all the clutter files removed and some of the raido stations smashed together (combined basically). I mean I know you specifically want the KALISTO version but it just seems like your looking for gta 3 ps2 compact version.

>>10886482
why do you want a scene release with the music scrubbed out dude
>>10886689
>Were there mod chips or swap tricks in 2001?
yeah

>>10886509
also I can say it's trivially easy to get rid of the dummy files on a ps2 game by yourself at this point

>>10886705
Presumably he wants it for nostalgia or collecting reasons.

>>10886479
If you have a GBC lying around get the OLED kit off Aliexpress.
If you don’t, get the Analogue Pocket.

>>10886479
modded gbc
if you want an fpga device that plays a bunch of portable games analogue

>>10886695
Holy shit the happy meal in your country costs more than a big mac set in my country. Are you in America???

i am a resident chinkheld vertislop enthusiast and love the snobby nature of the anal log and think they're an interesting proposal, but the dpad on those things is too shit to be excusable at that price

it's usually just people like reddit game uncle who only play pokémon title screens and thus the dpad doesn't suck enough to stand out there, but for going full abxy/shoulder buttons to accommodate other systems and being the "premium" option, it's merely serviceable, which i don't think is acceptable at that $200+ mark

did you know hdmi out is proprietary and is only achieved through the $130 analogue dock? you can't just use usb-c normally

and again i'm fine with all that at the end of the day, like i said i don't mind them occupying a premium space like a fake apple, but i draw the line at bad dpad cause i actually play some games

>>10886479
If you're asking about this, then you have a little money to throw away. Right? So grab yourself a new-ish cellphone. 4-5 years old. A galaxy, because ifags literally just discovered emulation.

Grab yourself whatever Bluetooth console controller you like most. Doesn't matter which. I use PS4, personally. You can even use joycons or grab a backbone. Pretty much any Bluetooth controller will work.

Get a controller clip designed for that bitch and the largest SD card your new phone can handle. I also grabbed a USB-C to HDMI cord to be able to plug into a TV, but that's me.

Following so far? Great.

Now you go on the app store and grab emulators for everything from atari 2500 all the way up to switch. Retroarch works great but the UI sucks. So I use a lot of individual emulators instead.
You're on your own finding roms, but it ain't that hard.

Put it all together and you have the best emulation set up ever. Sure, PC can do more at better specs and etc. But can it fit in your pocket?

If you already have a phone, then you've gotten the most expensive part out of the way already.
If you think this is inferrior to one of these scam handhelds: you are a moron. A 5 year old galaxy phone has better specs, a better screen, potentially an actual warranty and can emulate more. Plus you can use whatever controller you want.

You're welcome.

>>10886474
>Is there any other official version of this that runs at 60fps?
I believe the Switch port runs at 60fps. Unofficially there's also Cannonball.

MAME can be tweaked to run the arcade version at 60FPS

>>10886474
Play the arcade version with a wheel and pedals.

>>10886474
The 3ds version has an arcade original mode at 30 and a modern mode at 60

>>10886703
>>10886947
Duality of man

>>10886467
Okay, but why did the music sound like that? The PS1 can play perfectly high quality samples (eg the other Final Fantasies on PS1) but FF7 sounds like a SNES game

>>10886975
It’s called SOVL

I am more of a FF6 man myself but I do respect FF7. I would go as far as to say the game immerses you so well you won't even notice the graphics after the first level. The game's art design is fantastic and overrides the lack of polygons with pure sovl. Have a good day, sir.

>>10886467
I'm at the Northern Crater on disc 3, I use Cloud as a mage and he is level 60, the rest of my main party is Barret tank/support and Tifa physical attacker, the rest are underleveled, should I kit and level up everyone for a while before going into the final dungeon?
