/vr/ - Retro Games

Most Sega CD emulators play Snatcher almost perfectly.

>>2725215

this here. been playing on my psp and the emulation is pretty damn sweet if i may say so...

Working on it, how do I fix the aspect ratio in Fusion? Is that a decent enough emulator? Fixed aspect fit or zoom don't seem to do anything.

>>2725243
>Fixed aspect fit or zoom don't seem to do anything
I think they only work in fullscreen.
Are you for some reason running in 640x480 fullscreen? If so, change it to your native resolution.
Fixed Aspect Fit should correct the aspect ratio if you are using a widescreen monitor.

>>2725313
Here are the settings when it's fullscreen. It still looks stretched to me.

>>2725323
Honestly, looks right to me.

>>2725336
Might be all in my head. Who knows. Thanks for the help. Off to play.

Snatcher emulates well on pretty much everything capable of emulating a Sega CD, even the Wii (which has the added bonus of 240p support if you care about that) and PSP.

>>2725313
>I think they only work in fullscreen.

Correct. Kega stretches any 256x224 game (Which Snatcher is) into 320x224 and makes it look awful (Notice the "M" in Mika in the first pic -- the first line is twice as big as the one on the right). Putting it into fullscreen fixes this. Stupid issue that I'm amazed hasn't been fixed to this day.

>>2725243
I used fusion when I played it and had no problems. Great game.

>>2725202

yes, I played this on an emulator almost a decade ago now and it was perfect. download the PS1 Policenauts english translation afterwards and play that too. It's longer and better than Snatcher.

What indieshit game reminded you of Snatcher, OP?

>>2726783
Most likely Read Only Memories.

>>2725323
Put on scanlines it looks more delicious that way

>>2725202
>Some new indieshit game came out that reminded me vaguely of Snatcher.

How the fuck does Undertale resemble Snatcher?

That's the way it was displayed on TV.
256x224 and 320x224 have the same width on screen, pixels are just a little bit wider in the former case, hence why they are stretched (and they are actually in both windowed and fullscreen mode).

I'm actually amazed there are still miseducated people thinking this an emulator issue these days.

>>2727318
Couldn't be bothered to find a /vr/ related meme image?

I was playing it on my wii but the audio during the intro was going slow, any way to fix it?

>>2727318
Aren't PlaneteSide 2 devs indie by now?

>>2727994
no but they sure do like to not give a shit about their customers, so close enough.

>>2725202
Get the hell out of this board if you're just going to try and make thinly veiled non retro threads.

Does anybody know if there was ever an English patch for the Saturn version of Snatcher? Also, did that English patch for the Saturn version of Policenauts ever get finished and released?

>>2729752

No, and who cares? Sega CD version of Snatcher is widely regarded as the most complete and definitive. PS1 version of Policenauts is again probably the best.

Do you actually want to play the games?

>>2729757

I have a Saturn modded to play burned games. I don't have a Sega CD. I don't have a way to play Japanese PS1 games.

I've played the Sega CD version of Snatcher and the PS1 version of Policenauts on emulators...I'd just like to play them on a console, so I care.

>>2729757
stop being a faggot

>>2729762

>I've played the Sega CD version of Snatcher and the PS1 version of Policenauts on emulators...I'd just like to play them on a console, so I care.

I played the Sega CD version on a CRT and emulated on PC, it's exactly the same. PS1 version I burned to a CD-R and played on original hardware on a CRT, go ahead and do that if you care so damn much about "muh authentic experience!" instead of the game itself.

>>2729762

Go back to reddit.

>>2729779

Okay, fuck off...I asked a simple question with a simple yes or no answer. I don't know what your problem with me wanting to play games I like on a console I own is, but I do know that didn't ask for your opinion on it.

>>2729779
suck my dick

Buy a Sega CDX off Ebay. Burn a copy, play it on that. PC Engine ver. has more colors but no English version of it exists.

>>2729697
>playing an unfinished game

>>2725202
Bullshit, buy a PSP, hacked it and download the PicoGear emulator, runs perfectly Sega Genesis and Seg CD games(but Batman & Robin, dunno why), that is how I played two great gems well known as: Snatcher and PopFull Mail

>>2729697
I thought the Sega CD version was the only one with an English translation. Is this a recent fan-translation? Please explain.

>>2729783
>we're inside the tricycle

>not being the Snatcher

>>2730114
>thought the Sega CD version was the only one with an English translation. Is this a recent fan-translation? Please explain.

Pretty sure it's an old fan translation of the MSX version. I swear when I played it there may have been a slip-up or two where it gave you phrases in Brazilian when you did the wrong thing at a certain moment. I'm guessing there it was based of a Brazilian fan translation of the game.

>>2730241
Err, obviously I meant the Portuguese language. However, the MSX was popular in Brazil so it was probably translated by someone there.

>>2730027
Honestly, I prefer the cliffhanger ending of the PC-8801/MSX2 version over how Act 3 conveniently wraps up all the loose ends with Metal Gear suddenly knowing everything about Gillian's past. Even SD Snatcher had a better ending.

>>2729781

Because google exists for your mouth-breather questions, you twerp.

>>2729803
Is it hard to burn Sega CD games? Like do i have to convert a bunch of files to get it to work?

>>2730365
there you go being a faggot again

>>2730280

my nigga

>>2730681

>>2730682

>>2730694

I just started the game so trying to avoid spoilers, but when I tried to look up Gillian and Jamie in Jordan, Metal implied he had access to the information.

>>2730704

>>2730719

>>2729779
who gives a shit what you did?
he's just asking about the saturn version, not your fuckin "siskel n ebert" review that no one cares about

>>2730730
>GEOFF
who the fuck spells it like that lol

>>2730750

>>2730735

Google exists for stupid yes and no questions like that, but people like him and yourself are too special to figure out a simple search engine.

>>2730761
your attitude sucks frankly, why are you even here? it's just a friendly discussion on an otherwise dead board, faggots like yourself just shit up the place and drive people away.

>>2729697
Why are you playing with filter that make the game look like it's stitched cloth? Interesting choice I suppose...don't get it though.

>>2729779
This guy is autistic but I can understand what he is trying to convey. He's trying to let you know that eh Saturn version of Snatcher and Policenauts is inferior to the Sega CD's and PSX's respectively.

Basically, the Sega Saturn version has terrible video playback so FMV cutscenes will suck. Policenauts.PSX version is definitive, although the PC-98 has a better intro. The differences aren't many, but iirc the Sega Saturn version (of Snatcher) is also more censored and has a jungle beats garbage soundtrack. So really if you want the definitive version of Snatcher you get the Sega CD version. It has the iconic "One Night in Neo Kobe" track too, unlike the older versions.

>>2730940

You sound pretentious as fuck, wow. I bet you have assburgers, huh?

>>2730962
Yeah I have Stage VI assburgers, good guess anon

>>2730861
because fuck you lol

but seriously it's just a CRT filter with scanlines and noise

>>2730940
>Policenauts.PSX version is definitive, although the PC-98 has a better intro.
I always hated how the anime intro in the console versions of Policenauts spoiled the fact that Jonathan's accident was an internal sabotage.

is there any rip of the soundtrack from sega cd out there? i can't find one anywhere and i've been looking for three years

>>2729697

Kill yourself, faggot.

>>2731542
thanks for making /vr/ a quality board

>>2729697
The msx version feels even more cyber punk ,but I got a bit tired of using the numbers on the keyboard to play the game ,the shooting sections are even more tricky

I play it on a SEGA CD
its really fun.
Maybe buy a usb controller?

>>2731967
right now im playing my first playthrough emulating the Sega CD version on Android. brettygood.jpg

>>2730114
I'm pretty sure it was just translated not too long ago. I remember there being a thread about it, but I'm unsure if it was announcing it or just some faggot trying to make a good OP about the game.

>>2727185
I seriously hope not. ROM is blatant sjw shit that isn't even cyberpunk.

>>2730114

sega CD is the way to go. has the English audio dialogue as well.

Is there a translation for Policenauts yet?

>>2733063
policenauts.net

>>2725220
Shit, I was just making a thread about this with exactly the same image file.

Does the PSP emulate Sega CD well?

And talking about it, which is the best versions of Policenauts for playing it on the go too?

>>2733053
>ROM is blatant sjw shit that isn't even cyberpunk.
Poor baby. Did the game trigger you?

>>2733053
>ROM is blatant sjw shit that isn't even cyberpunk.
Hence "indieshit". I don't see how you could deny that they're ripping off Snatcher. They've said as much.

I'm a lazy bastard who wants to play some Snatcher and other Sega CD games on the go with Picodrive.
Are there any places to get the games prepared for it?
Getting separate files for music is such a pain.

Besides, tried to play Snatcher and it freezes on the first screen about the fictional events. It doesn't play the intro but I can press start just fine.

>>2734128
Not >>2725220, but I played both Snatcher and Policenauts for the first time a few months ago on my PSP 2000. Both ran perfectly fine and were quite enjoyable.

Finished Snatcher for the first time on Sega CD two weeks ago. Great game.

>>2731542
>unfinished
Honestly the whole third act felt like a rushed convoluted mess with boring watch cutscene, shoot something, watch cutscene gameplay. It really ruined the game for me.

>>2737297
SD Snatcher had a much better finale. Killing off Randam was a mistake.

>>2730681
is this the first use of soopafresh? Gen[M]ay and Transformice are the only other things I know to use it..
