Porting Rondo to the Snezz instead of a good console like the Amiga or Mega Drive.

As long as you're playing the superiour Dreamcast version, not the rubbish N64 beta with its shittier music, graphics, and bombing mechanics.

When they were trying to peddle that piece of shit known as the NES to people when you could get a far superior Amiga computer at the time.

Not this shitty boogeyman again...

You know he's right. You're just mad and dislike it because you couldn't beat the game so you prefer the babby version.

Music is inferior and the resolution is lower on Remix, though.

Play the MD port if you want 99% arcade accuracy along with extra features.

I'm not the one applying nicknames to random anonymous people like a loon.

Because only this "Australia-kun" can use the Nintendildo insult, right?

Aiming your post at the wrong dude, but he's right. You clearly don't know much about electronics.

Yeah, no shit I didn't make the console or the cart. But I do make custom electronics, I have made an SNES EPROM cart that I use to this day, I know the SNES architecture fairly well, I understand how computers work from the electron up, and I know that there are only so many commodity logic families out there. This shit uses TTL fo sho. I don't have to look at the insides to be confident in that assertion, I just have to look at the technology available at that time on a economic scale.

But by all means, continue flailing your voodoo beliefs.

Under that logic, aren't almost every /vr/ sequel ever rehashes? (Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden and pre-Symphony Castlevania to name a few)

Camera sensitivity != human eye sensitivity. Things blur more to the eye than this picture would leave you to believe. Although you can get up close and see scanlines on a CRT, they aren't this pronounced.

You do realize the Xbox is just a consolized, standardized, PC. Just use a modern day computer and you're good.

Also not /vr/

There's a balance to be had here. Learning low level stuff (like assembly computer organization) is incredibly enlightening. Computers stop being magic, and you generally pick up on concepts MUCH faster.

However programming strictly in assembly all the time is a waste of a programmer's time and effort and leads to non portable code. That's why we have high level languages.

To fully realize the value of a high level language, though, you need to understand how they are implemented. Ask a fluent Java or Python fag how to code up the tools needed to run their programs, and they'll probably give you a blank stare. Ask a C programmer the same question, and not only could they hammer out a rudimentary compiler/assembler, but they would also be able to implement Java's virtual machine and Python's interpreter.

To the C (or low level) programmer, the computer stops being a black box. It's easier to reason about the consequences of your code as mapped onto hardware. Strictly high level programmers never truly understand what they are doing, and they are poorer coders because of it (not to mention it makes people like us miserable).

Faster, but not better.

Actually I've always wondered what our machines would be capable of if all the code we relied on was actually highly tuned. I bet we could easily get an order of magnitude faster computing experience.

Ikaruga can be set to, but it's fuckin stoopid
