FUCK

>>1609715

What?
Your space doesn't work or something?

>>1609710
>Playing emulators on keyboard
Man, those were the times... Honestly, who here didn't play on their very first emulator with the keyboard?

>>1609710

>nostalgia
>emulators

>zsnes

The bait is strong in this one.

For whatever reason, when I'm playing old games on the keyboard, I always use the arrow keys and map all the buttons to theleft side of the keyboard.

Even though given controller layouts, it would make much more sense to move with WASD and use the numpad for buttons.

Every PC game I use WASD though. I don't know why I do this.

Of course, nowadays I pretty much just use my controller.

>>1609748
>>1609756

I think keyboards are better controllers.
If you learn to use all the fingers you get more efficient.
And it's a nice challenge.

>>1609761
I find my execution and precision goes up by threefold when I play smash 64 on keyboard.

>>1609756
No trolling, some view emulators than ran in DOS with nostalgia.

>>1609950
>tfw you can't run a game boy game in a super game boy in zsnes running on dosbox

Anyone that played ZSNES back in 1997 will drown in nostalgia after viewing this:

>>1609756
I have a ton of nostalgia playing zsnes games with my brother on one keyboard when we were younger. FFV and when SD3 got translated , good times

I already emulate SNES and PSX with a similar set-up.

UP =T
DOWN =space
LEFT =F
RIGHT =H
START =ENTER
SELECT =Right shift
A/Circle =. (NUM PAD)
B/X =0 (NUM PAD)
X/Triangle =7 (NUM PAD)
Y/Square =1 (NUM PAD)
L/L1 =9 (NUM PAD)
R/R1 =3 (NUM PAD)
L2 =8 (NUM PAD)
R2 =2 (NUM PAD)
I actually play pretty fucking well and comfortably like this.

>>1610010

what the actual fuck
you must have giant hands

>>1609756
You are complaining about nostalgia on a board about retro games? games that people played when they were kids.

>>1610043
Not particularly, I wouldn't say... but maybe? idklol

>>1609792

There you go then.
If only they made keyboards that vibrate like controllers do. ;_;

>>1609761
For me keyboard is more efficent and I can play better with keyboard. Controller is just much more fun as it resembles more the original feel and I can lean back nicely.

I just flip my controller around when I want to play like a retard.

>Open zsnes

I beat Mario 64 in 2008 for the first time, with a Keyboard.

I use the 4 arrow keys for moving and insert delete home end page up page down for the buttons. one hand in front of the other one.

Just use the arrow keys and ASDF as A, X, Y and B, fuck.

I always played ASZX as YXBA and the arrow keys as the dpad. For things like Civilization or Final Fantasy I played normally, but for any action (as in any game where movement and reaction time are in important) game like Mega Man X I crossed my hands so my left hand was on the letters and my right hand was on the arrow keys

>>1609748
That sounds pleb tier, son. Back then I rocked a printer port wired SNES controller and later a wired up PS1 multitap too.

>>1611604

Well aren't you the special snowflake

>>1609761
not exactly /vr/ but look up the hitbox "fightstick"
it replaces the joystick of fightsticks with more buttons
it was a huge kerfuffle in the fightan community because other players thought it was too OP and then KI came out

>>1609950
>caring about whether or not someone played a retro game on a console or through an emulator
It's the same damn game unless you're a CRT nut
and even then they probably played their game on a CRT monitor

>>1613169
CRT monitors didn't do 240p and no one knew how to get around that. It looked just as ass in 1024x768 as on a 1080p display.

>>1613180
oi oi boohoo m8 ;C I wish people didn't have fun playing games at different resolutions too

>WASD

Real /vr/'ers use ASDF.

>>1613186
I don't even know what you're trying to say there. Seems like the sort of incoherence to be expected from someone who doesn't notice terrible graphic quality. Even as a dumb kid I could tell that games looked really ugly on a computer emulator. That is why they packaged in all those stupid SUPER EAGLE filters and shit.

>>1613165
What, the SNES game?

>>1613192
You couldn't interpret my post yet went on about your autistic bullshit? Seems like the sort of scrambling for an excuse for faux-superiority to be expected from someone who thinks their gaming experiences to be superior to others' because they played their games in a specific way when other people played them another way.

>>1613197
nah, it's a controller for modern fightan games
figured I'd mention it because it's the natural evolution of "I like mashing buttons but muh keyboard precision"

>>1613216
Excellent post, great job!

I played with the arrow keys for the directions.

Y = A
B = Z
A = S
X = W
L = Q
R = E
Start = Enter
Select = R Shift

Then I got a gamepad.

>>1613237
I bought the Famicom & SF gamepads from Buffalo
No idea why though, it would've been way cheaper to just buy the SF one

>>1613243
Keep in mind this was circa 1999 or 2000.

>>1613253
Their Famicom pads have certainly been around that long

>>1613165

wtf is "KI"?

>>1613515
Lemme guess: born in the mid 90s? Killer Instinct, faggot.

>>1613518

I'm sorry I can't figure out what words are in an acronym by looking at their initials faggot.
Stop being a lazy nigger and type the whole words out.

>>1613531
Don't QQ to me about it, fuckboi. I wasn't the one who posted KI in the first place, just the explanation. If I got it, you should been able to as well but considering you were probably stewing in your own baby poo when the game was debuted, I'm not surprised you didn't know about it.

Arrow Keys for movement
Y for A, X for B
A for X, S for Y
D for L, C for R
Backspace for Select, Enter for Start
Spacebar for TUUURRRRRRRRBOOO

And it works.

>>1613554

>Y for A

u wot m8

>>1613614
Z. Germanfag here.

>>1611615
That's a retard tier reply on the same level as
>you must be great at parties >_<
Shut the fuck up.

>>1613628
>being this mad
You must be great at parties.

WASD + IJKM master race reporting in.

WASD for movement
On the numpad:

4 = Y
8 = X
2 = B
6 = A
7 = L
9 = R

I always hated having my hands so close on the keyboard when playing games, mostly because I was used to FPSes as a kid.

>>1613636
>thinking same anon
what a pleb you are

>>1614125

you still mad

>>1609710
But I was already a teen when MMX came out.

>>1613531
>I can't into video games therefore you're the faggot

Nice try.

>>1609710
By the time the Zsnes existed I was already using a sidwinder.

>>1614160

The point was that you would suck at the game again.
Like the times when you couldn't into coordination.
Try it and see, it's an adventure.

i had this

i remember the stages being slightly different than snes though.

>>1613531
GG you replied to someone who wasn't me
Learn2Anonymous

>>1613189
I use the bottom row instead of the home
But that's the right idea, I always played with fingers lined up, it's just easy

>>1614570
It sounds too difficult to learn to me. Where is Up in that sequence? The last key?

>>1609984
>Those wind sounds
>that off-tune soundfont
Holy fuck I remember that!
Especially the wind, it sounds kinda creepy.

>>1609984

Oh my god

>>1609710
>zsnes

I almost raged, but then I remembered that I did use ZSNES at first.

That interface really is one-of-a-kind.

>>1609748
I played my first game ever on a keyboard... Mega Man X demo on my computer.

Nostalgia as fuck now.

>>1613165
>keyboard-like controller being OP

Of course.

>>1613281
Well, I didn't know about that shit back when I was in high school and had dial-up Internet.

>>1613217
right, the hitbox is basically an arcade keyboard. What does it matter for Killer Instinct though?

>>1614659
The arrow keys are the directions

it made button presses near perfect the only time itd be trouble if it was a system that had four shoulder buttons

>>1613189

QWERT
ASDFG
ZXCVB

Arrow keys for movement.

Master fucking race.

>>1614979
Haha oh man

>>1615572
Cause KI coming out christened next gen fighting games and the hitbox doesn't work on the Xbone, in fact only one MadCatz fightstick works on the Bone for now.

>>1615589
I'm with this guy.

>>1609748
>who here didn't play on their very first emulator with the keyboard

Who here doesn't still play with a keyboard? Why would you do that.
