Still can't believe I got that shot of all of the games covers at once. They're usually never like that. One or two of them will have the console logo instead of the full picture of the cover. Lucky shot I guess.

Super Metroid is love. Super Metroid is life.

Pretty much the only really memorable ones for me were

super mario world
mega man X
NBA Jam
Earthbound

Fuck yeah, time to go get Flammie.

>>1947693
Trippy how you can see the glowing light sensors on the motion control sensor bar for the will that's right below your TV. I've noticed in other photos that they're only visible when you take a picture of the bar with the console up and running. You can't see them with the naked eye. (end nerd rant)

>>1947691
>NBA Jam
>Earthbound

If these were on the Wii's Virtual Console my collection would be complete. That pic is just the firs page of my retro collection on the Wii.

Damn I wish that thing had more retro selections. I wonder why they don't release more games, they'd make a killing. (Not that they're hurting for money.) but it has SO MUCH fucking potential. It's a damn shame.

>>1947706
It's just IR light, we can't see it but cameras can. Point a camera at your sensor bar, TV remote or some actual CCTV cameras and you'll see red dots on the screen but not in real life.

>not using a CRT

>>1947726
Come on man, I have the Wii hooked up with composite cables on a 40" 1080p. It looks pretty fucking sharp. Not gonna play classics on a CRT anytime soon. Maybe one day when I have the space for one of those mammoth TV's I'll play my games like I did in the good old days but for now I'm going with this.

>>1947653
You make no sense

>>1947741
At least set your screen to 4:3, you'll be stretching the image to no end on that.

>>1947693
Woah is that really from a Wii? Looks incredibly good actually. Is that really the VC version?

>>1947767
But I like it stretched. I know that 4:3 is the proper ratio but I want to get the most out of my big screen.

>>1947779
Please leave.

>>1947779
>But I like it stretched
I can forgive not using a CRT because it's understandable. But really, I hope you're baiting with that.

>>1947776
Hell yes it is. Here's another shot of where I'm currently at right now. I love being able to play old Super Nintendo games on the Wii.

I know it's not the right proportion but I prefer to have it set to full screen. It's just so much more colourful that way in my opinion.

>>1947808
Yeah I don't like playing games in the "wrong" aspect ratio but honestly Secret of Mana is a game that doesn't look all that bad even on 16:9.

Have you tried Retroarch on that yet?

>>1947798
>>1947790

Not baiting. Why is it so hard for people to understand that other people have different visual preferences than you do. Why do you think there's at least 5 different picture size settings on every single HDTV these days.

>>1947808
Looks like a horrible pixilated mess.

HURR DURR I NEED TO PLAY AT THE PROPER ASPECT RATIO HURR DURR

DERPY A DEE DERP IF YOU'RE NOT PLAYING AT THE PROPER RAITO YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG TUM TA TEEDILY TUM DUM DE DERP

Give me a fucking break nerds. Play it how you want to play it and let others do the same.

I thought we were listing our favorite SNES games, not bitch about aspect ratios.

>>1947825
You must be new here because this is the board to come to if you want a bunch of stuck up purists dissing you for liking video games.

>>1947819
Just like the real console would.

>>1947825
most snes games have great art, and a fucked up TV with a fucked up aspect takes a dump on the art. It's not hard to fix, either.

Would you watch an entire movie in stretch-o-vision?

>>1947825

list your fav snes games but don't show off your fucking setup. stretching the image is just dumb though and easy to point out.

but you sure showed them by typing in derp a bunch of times. you sound straight out of 2007 champ.

>>1947842
Yes.

So here's 4:3 on my TV. I don't like the black bars on the side. Too much is cut off. I know that all old TVs used to be square so it looks correct, but my eyes are spoiled and I wanted to be on the full screen.

>>1947861
Nothing is cut off, you aren't getting more image by being in 16:9 or whatever, just stretching whatever's there. Play it for a little while like that and you'll realise how awful the other way is and forget the borders.

>>1947861
You get used to using black bars quickly. The correct way of doing things doesn't always feel the best, but after a while, you realize why it's done.

>Forget the boarders.
How? They are black as FUCK on the side of this colorful as fuck game.

Now here is a full screen shot. I know it doesn't look right to most of you but I sure as fuck don't mind it. I actually think it looks pretty good.

You guys are so stubborn that you can admit this looks decent?

>>1947881
but anon, the characters are fat now

>>1947881
It doesn't look decent, it looks terrible.

>>1947881
You see that square picture above the doorway? It's rectangle now. Everything else on the screen has been stretched in exactly the same way, but while keeping the same height.

See image attached? It's stretched in roughly the same ratio and it looks terrible. Same is happening with your game, but because you haven't experienced the original it looks 'right' to you.

>>1947873
And your eyes are naturally drawn to light, not black. You'll forget they're there within a few minutes unless you consciously think about it.

>>1947881
>You guys are so stubborn that you can admit this looks decent?

It looks terrible. And guess what, it's not bitching or autism to point that out.

The aspect ratio is wrong. It's not an opinion it's a fact.

>>1947881
maximum groce
you are a blind-ass nigga

>>1947881
It looks fine unless you're some anal as fuck nerd faggot like most of the people who post here.

>>1947941

>>1947941
but you shouldn't even be posting here if you think that looks fine.

>>1947941

>>1947693
>>1947808
>>1947881

>>1947881
You walked right into that one man. But I'm with you, it really doesn't bother me that much. I had a friend who went complete apeshit because I was emulating Turbografx-16 games on my wii and it was on widescreen.

>That's not right
>Everything is stretched
>You shouldn't even play video games if you play them like that.

If I can play it in it's original aspect ratio then I'll do it, but I could really care less if things are stretched as long as I can play the game. Which I always can.

>>1947926
Side by side the right one looks terrible, but our brains usually adjust to this type of shit pretty easily. Go back to 2009 and watch the stretched news on a widescreen tv.

>>1947978

Waiting for next "Nothing wrong with LCD 4:3 ratio" comment.

>>1948087
>>1948096
that's all you have? 3 words, one of them incoherent?

I agree with OP in the sense that if his setup is visually pleasing to him, let him have it, even if you object (which is kind of a strong reaction). That said, I get the sense OP was trying to subtly bait--expecting a lot of negative responses because he plays the games on a Wii, not getting that response, but making do with what sneers he did get.

How did this thread turn into everyone calling the OP a faggot?

>>1948112
Because some dipshit children think 8 and 16 bit composite or RGB video outputs look good on a fucking LCD piece of shit TV.

>>1948115
We might have let it slide if he posted 4:3 or didn't defend 16:9 like a bitchlet.

>>1948087
>>1948096
>>1948105

And here are the CRT kids. Too bad you guys weren't even born when they were still popular, someone might actually take you seriously.

>>1948123
>weren't even born when they were still popular

That would make us 10 years old. I'm 30.

>>1948160
Then I sure hope you're not throwing around insults and having a fit like the last couple of posters. This isn't /b/ or /v/. No reason to question anyone's taste or intelligence here.

>>1948170
You shitposting nigger, you just cast aspersions on the validity of the opinions in four different posts by questioning their age.

>>1948174
And rightfully so. Look at the quality of posts I'm dealing with, including this one. If you're over 13 you should be ashamed.

>>1948170
Watch out, this guy is the official /v/ door man! You better have your IDs ready, or else he's going to show you have no valid points because he clearly knows you're a child.

Uh oh, the kids are growing restless. Look at these comebacks. Mature and impeccably well written.

>>1948198
Or a service dish with them alongside crab puffs and a lovely assortment of other party horderves.

>>1948208

You guys are making me feel really bad about myself. I guess I'm just a loser, then. Goodbye, /vr/

How about everyone shit posting in favor of LCD TVs learn to do some fucking research and just swallow their pride and admit that LCD TVs all be it a better technology for MODERN games, sucks for games that were made over 20 fucking years ago.

http://youtu.be/v3SZkjF1RDI

>>1948224
How are they a better technology for modern games?

Here, do some reading, learn what scan lines are.

http://www.tested.com/tech/gaming/456719-best-crt-retro-games/

>>1948224
How about your very weird brand of superiority complex and admit that, while you are correct, it ultimately doesn't make a huge difference

>>1948224
no doubt. i would get a crt if only it wasn't so... out of place in my apartment. it just looks strange having a huge flat screen and then a big old box right beside it.

>>1948224
Everyone knows that, hopefully. But kids or autistic adults insulting people because they don't want to have a CRT in their place is equally embarrassing. A TV is still a fucking TV no matter how shit it might look.

>>1948237

>>1948248
What? That made in China shit that characterises modern decor can eat a dick too.

>>1948224
Nope, my LCD has excellent response times and, unlike some ass-backwards CRT, actually has a clear picture. I will never go back to that fuzzy bullshit.

>OP posts picture of LCD
>someone politely recommends that they switch to 4:3
>OP states opinion
>CRT dick pinchers start foaming at the mouth

Every time

This picture I took a couple of minutes ago pretty much shows every single one of my favorite Super Nintendo games of all time.

Post a picture or screenshot or even a list of your favorite games of all time on this awesome console. I'm gonna go play some Secret of Mana.

So the latter, then.

You'll love this: I have a CRT, right next to me. Underneath it is a pristine SNES. To the left of that, a shelf containing SNES carts, including Super Mario World.

I played through Super Mario World over the weekend, *96.

On and LED TV.

Using my Wii U Virtual Console.

I really wouldn't read the spoiler, it might give you an aneurism.

I enjoyed every moment of it.

>>1948368

>>1948370
That's what the neurotypiclaps call LCDs with LED backlighting.

>>1948370
You're slipping, anon. You didn't piss yourself over me calling the games "carts" instead of "Game Paks."

>>1948378
Shh. I wanted to watch him continue to embarrass himself.

>>1948381
"ROM cartridge" is totally fine. I'm a pedant, not a marketer. Try to keep up.

>>1948387
Keep up? I'm ahead! I played a retro game on modern hardware without issue, and you're busy stamping your feet because I used a term you didn't like.

>>1948381
'Game pak' is a specific branding term for a cartridge. All the manufacturers do it and it's retarded. Hell the official name for levels in SMB3 is 'Action Scene Panel'.

>>1948392
I understand that you believe this, anon.

>>1948392
>Keep up? I'm ahead!

>>1948398
Condescension over what TV or Game Pad screen I use is really fucking cute, anon.

i use a CRT for older consoles and an LCD for new ones. i don't mind playing virtual console games on the LCD, and i didn't mind playing newer games on a CRT before i could afford a flatscreen.

so what are your excuses for bickering over basic, unimportant shit like this?

OP here. I left after posting the pics and JESUS FUCK I didn't know all of you were going to get so worked up over this. I guess I'll just succumb to popular opinion and go 4:3 and LOLJK FUCK THAT I LIKE MY STRETCHED IMAGES.

Seriously though, didn't mean to get all of you so worked up over a thing like the aspect ratio of retro video games. I guess I should have know better before I made this post.

>>1948520
You must be new to 4chan in general. No matter what you share here, someone will get unjustifiably upset over it.

I say enjoy your gameplay however the fuck you like it, anon. This place is supposed to be about sharing a love of classic games, not waging holy wars over who's "right" or "wrong."

>>1948528
You're right. Too bad this thread turned into something else entirely.

>>1948520
all you have to do is press one button and it will give you the proper aspect ratio. since you prefer shit, i invite you to leave so we can have one less pleb in our midst.

>>1948553
He knows how to change it (did you notice that he did, in fact, change it in photos) but he doesn't WANT to. Let it go, dude. What do you care what he does?

>>1948565
because this is someone who will presumably be contributing to discussion around these parts, and it would be of great comfort to know that people like this don't post here.

I want you to leave. I don't you to contribute to conversations.

>>1948580
you seem to have forgotten some words. nevertheless, nobody cares what you want.

>>1947981
OK, here it is by itself.

And it still looks like shit and anyone with any amount of spatial sense would look at it and ask why it's all stretched out. It doesn't only look bad when compared to the correct aspect ratio, it looks bad ALL THE TIME.

>>1948590
Now you know how everyone feels about your opinion!

>>1948594
i would say the majority of /vr/ would argue for using the correct aspect ratio. you're the only one defending the use of an incorrect ratio, along with op.

>>1948601
I'm not arguing for it--I myself prefer to correct aspect ratio too--I'm arguing against thumbing your nose at people who don't. It's fine to say it once, but to belittle him to the extent and degree you have just isn't healthy.

The only thing he's doing is seeing an opportunity to troll the shit out of purists.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about my gear, you little n00b? I’ll have you know I am a lvl 90 Undead Arcane Mage, and I’ve won so many PVP matches, and I have done raids on every 10 man heroic dungeon. I also have a fuckton of macros and I have a GS of 10K. You are nothing to me but just a lvl 12 gnome hunter. I will pwn the fuck out of you with Arcane Missiles the likes of which has never been seen before on Azeroth AND Outland, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over raid? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my guild of mages and shamans across The Eastern Kingdoms and your character is being targeted right now so you better prepare for the ownage, n00b. The Arcane Barrage that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your character. You’re fucking pwn’d, n00b. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my secondary talent tree. Not only am I extensively trained in Arcane magic, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Fire magic and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable neckbeard off the face of Azeroth, you little faggot. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re getting debuffed, you goddamnn00b. I will shit Dragon’s Breath all over you and you will burn in it. You’re fucking pwn’d, faggot.

You tried to paint one side as "respecting" the other's opinion, but they're hostile from the start. You tried to paint the other side as stubbornly refusing to admit 16:9 is incorrect, but he clearly states he knows that 4:3 is proper but still prefers otherwise. If anything, you're trying to stir up more shit by purposefully misrepresenting how it all got started... which really sucks, because it had finally died down.
