/vr/ - Retro Games

So, with DE-10 Nano boards continuing to go up in price and prebuilt units costing even more, how long before we see a potentially more powerful FPGA setup as a future alternative?
Do you think we might see something like what Kevtris' Zimba 3000 project was before he sold out to Analouge?

>on a budget
You don't. Prices for SNES and retro games are forever fucked save for Atari shit, and even some of those games have questionable prices at times
I'd say just consider investing research in software emulation or MiSTer but if you demand OG hardware, just get an FX Pak Pro and call it a day

I like actual QoL hacks, especially ones that fix actual bugs, it's the easy modo style of cheat patches I frankly don't really care for

Honestly these prices are kind of rough on me. Once I beat a game I don't really care what happens to the save most o the times so the backup cart might be lost on me if AR does backups, even if the fail-rate can be high. I'll still consider it though. 30 bucks is like five or six games with shipping included.

Thanks for the answer though.

>Is Battletoads and Double Dragon the most technically impressive game on the NES?
Not really. By the time this game came out, NES dev's skills have matured greatly and were able to pull off a bit more than what they could do before. Many late-era NES games had some gorgeous visuals, but they really weren't that big of a leap compared to titles released a few years prior.
As for the game, it's been a while, but from what I remember, I found it to be pretty underwhelming and ridiculously easy to the point of being kinda boring. This game might as well be called "Battletoads 3 Feat. The Double Dragons", as there's almost nothing really DD-feeling about it, and it plays more like a toned down sequel. Other than the crossover novelty, it's nothing special. At least the SNES version has a great soundtrack.

As janky as NES Super Turrican was, I still personally think its' superior to the original two games, which I found to be fuck-awful aside from the music and visuals. Fucking euro devs of the day just did not believe in recovery-time.
