/vr/ - Retro Games

I wasn't interested in this overjoyed piece of crap from the get-go.

Never really been into NES and if I were to change my mind I'd emulate it on Wii and output to one of my CRTs.

*overhyped

Fuck auto-correct. Fuck it in its stupid bossy arse.

>>3630009
>He doesn't just flashcart for NES on original hardware

>>3630054
The Wii was 10% of the cost and can emulate basically anything up to 5th gen.

It's also discreet and doesn't scream turbo-autist in front of my normie friends.

poor fag detectedddd
poor fag detectedddd

honestly, it's 65 fucking dollars, i'll order a round of drinks that cost more 5 times in a night.. this is for people who dont want to "emulate" or simply dont know how. I know tones of people who are just causal gamers who wanted this simply to play a few games then probably collect dust. No one is going to go find out how to use a fucking Wii to emulate games...

the sales speak for themselves. Dem poor fags always cryin around hurr..

>>3630113
>tones

Spoken like a true Yahoo! poster.

>>3630113
It's for fake nostalgiafags who want to get in the "le 8-bit" bandwagon.

The majority of people buying this to actually keep and not re-sell don't even know of the retro scene/market.

>runs linux on an arm chip

So you just paid 10x the price for what's probably a less powerful version of the RPi with definitely far more limited options in terms of consoles and games it emulates. I mean, damn, for that kind of money I could literally build a full on mini-ITX PC...

At least the controllers might be nice if they can be modded for use on a real NES...

WOW

WHAT A SHOCK

>>3629965
> input lag

Wait, are you serious? Nintendo, the company that invented a new video compression algorithm so it could stream video to the Wii U tablet controller at sub 1-frame speeds didn't take care of input lag on the NES classic?

WTF

>>3630054
>he doesn't just buy the original games

Might as well just pirate the ROMs and plug a controller into your computer if you're going to flashcart.

>>3629965
Regardless of the flaws, why would anyone buy a physical machine that only emulates a select few games?

>>3630715
Convenience, consumer loyalty, nostalgia.

A lot of the appeal is the look of it and most people would be just fine with displaying it next to their tv

>>3630715
Nintendronism.

Same thing with Super Mario Maker.

>Why buy a limited $60 level editor when you can just use ROM level editors on your computer for free?

>...Y-..YOU JUST DONT GET IT!

>>3630720
>Convenience

There are far more convenient options, though.

>>3630764
>...Y-..YOU JUST DONT GET IT!

Actually I really don't. Look, I'm not going to buy this thing, I don't have Mario Maker either (don't have a Wii U), but what Nintendo did in both cases saw that there was a niche interest in both things that they thought was really cool, and decided to take the risk to invest in those niche things and make a wider range of people aware that these things are really fun.

We're not the main audiance for this. If it gets more people to play NES games, it's a good thing. Depending on how it turns out, it may mean the return of the NEW games that are in that style and that we WOULD like. Megaman9 sold millions and started a huge trend of new, good, games that play like retro ones.

Yes, there is not many reasons for us to buy this or Mario Maker, but the only reason to be against them is if you're a "MY SECRET SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE CLUB" kind of fag.

>>3630785
More convenient than pressing one button on something next to your tv that will always sit there?

>>3630113
>I know tones of people
That's racist

>>3630814
Its more convenient not getting this thing and using machines you already own to play nes games.

i got an original nes, a crapola clone nes, a modded wii, and a raspberry pi that i could play nes games on, but 99% of the time i just fire up fceux or nestopia and play on the computer with the keyboard lmao. and im still gonna buy a nes mini for my living room at least. because i am not a lazy poor ppl who eats out of a dumpster and begs for change to buy a raggedy old pvm that looks like fido's ass lmao :D

>>3630814
What TV?

>>3629965
>I needed a shitty YT celeb to tell me this
We new this for a good while. Like, ever since the shitty lineup.

It has potential once it's hacked. Find a way to insert a new emu and every ROM in the catalog and you might actually have something.

Otherwise it's garbage.

>>3629965
>Shit vídeo capture doctores with sony vegas
>LOL the system looks like shiet gaaiisss!

Yeah no, you suck.

>>3630794
>>3630764
The main reason for all this is:

NOT EVERYONE knows how to use an emulator, get the roms or even knows how to romhack.

Seriously, wtf is going on in your heads?

>>3631123
Everybody who isn't a small child can learn it.

>>3631126
Many people who actually go to work, have family and are not living with Mom has time or want's to know and just to fucking play. When you mature you will learn to respect time, it's not just about "know how".

>>3631130

>>3630940
Those two manchildren are super autistic but theirs is the only video I've come across that actually made an in-depth analysis on the emulation quality as well as compare it to other solutions such as hardware mods and NES clones. They are super autistic though, I can barely stand watching the video as it is.

>>3631591
>muh autism

>>3629965
I knew it was going to be a cash grab to begin with and in typical modern nintendo fashion they kept the supply low and scalpers are going to town.

I already own cartridges of pretty much all the desirable games on it. If I really wanted something like this I would just spend the extra money on a flashcart since it gives me access to the entire NES library on actual hardware instead of 30 games.

>>3630113
It sold well because there was a lot of hype leading up to it. I bet the second batch sells like shit.

>>3629965
Didn't have to look at this thread to know that. I play me my NES games on my 3DS, and if I really wanted to, I'd go get an original NES and not this nostalgia cash-grab.

What a shitty idea for a product.

>>3631130
if you don't have time to take a couple of minutes to download a couple of games from emuparadise, you probably shouldn't be playing video games in the first place.

>>3631750
I bet you think changing settings on a PC game the first time is a hassle and a gaming PC costs $5000 too.

>>3630306
If you watch the video, the sound delay is really bad. The input delay is hard to judge

>>3631123
I've been using emulators since I was 13. You have to be braindead retarded to not understand how easy and simple they are. You just download the emulator, open it up and load a rom file.

It's as hard as opening up a document in Microsoft Office or an image in Paint. The only people who don't emulate are those who don't know about emulators, those who are moralfags, and those who are too lazy to click a link and download them.

>>3631827
Worse than Virtual Console Wii, 3DS and Wii U?

>>3631847
watch the video

>>3631750
>Spend 15 minutes fiddling with video options
No, you can literally open it and start playing without messing with video settings

>Spend 15 minutes setting up controller binds
No, most emulators come pre-configured for the most commonly used inputs

>Spend 15 minutes setting up other settings
No, again, you can literally open it and start playing.

>>3630113

>doesn't know how to emulate a NES

So retarded people.

That's how to get into the details, you can't let anything pass you by and you have to use a fuckton of weird ass shit to compare and analyze.

Kinda fitting given Nintendo's business practices tbqh.

>>3632369
Their RGB series is actually quite useful as on overview of how to get the best video quality out of old consoles.

Also their production quality is great and they seem to genuinely enjoy their retro gaming hobby.

>>3631750
Seems like you never used a NES Emulator because those are usually preconfigure and all you gotta do is change the controls which shouldn't take more than 2min.

>>3629965
Couldn't watch the video because the guy talking in it was too fucking annoying

>>3632369

>>3632464

Not really surprising as they're professional video editors by trade and simply do this as a sideline.

I just wish they'd stay off-camera and employ a couple of voice actors to dub in the dialogue.

>>3630785
There really aren't though.

>>3631827
Input lag is infinitely better than the Wii and Wii U Virtual Consoles. The sound isn't perfect, but it's not Famiclone bad or anything.

>>3632568
I think he meant getting warned against buying it was the bullet-dodging.

>>3629965
>met with so much anticipation that it sold out everywhere almost immediately

Is the fact that nintendo under-stocks their products to artificially increase demand and hype still not public knowledge?

>>3632578
Even if you spent $60 on a box of rocks, I would hardly say not losing $60 is 'dodging a bullet' in any respect.
Also what the fuck kind of criticisms are
>shittier graphics
>dirtier graphics
That image is bullshit, I have one, and it doesn't look like that. OP is obnoxious at any rate, regardless of what he meant.
>>3632582
It's not intentional under-stocking, it's intentionally not OVER stocking. They're an ultra conservative company that absolutely refuses to have dead-stock in their sales channels (if they can avoid it).

NO, GUISE, FOR REALS THIS TOTES WORTH $400. STOCKPILE THEM NOW, THEY GONNA BE WORTH THOUSANDS IN THE FUTURE

>>3632584
>It's not intentional under-stocking, it's intentionally not OVER stocking

For the most part that is true, but they are far too conservative with their "lesser" products such as smaller series amiibos, console accessories and obviously this NES Mini.

Whether it's because they deliberately understock, have absolutely no idea how to predict demand on these things or just don't care, at the end of the day they've been making a nasty habit of putting out products that sell out way too fast and end up costing many times the MSRP on the aftermarket. I think they've made the wrong choice between not having a warehouse full of NES minis and not having upset customers unable to get their hands on one at all.

>>3632589
Not even the most malicious jerk scalper in the world is claiming any of that. They're just preying on panic that some people have that they won't be able to get one by Christmas to give as a gift.

>>3632602
nintendo understocks everything. Don't remember the wii shortages for like the first 2 years?

>>3632602
I agree with your assessment. I just sincerely believe that they aren't doing it maliciously, as many people seem to parrot endlessly on the Internet.

>>3632604
If by 2 years you mean a few months, sure.

>>3632584
>Accusing others of being obnoxious
>While being obnoxious as fuck

>>3632661
At least I didn't start a thread about it.

>>3629965
How the fuck is this selling like hotcakes? Its literally a glorified emulator released in an age where you can emulate these games on your phone at any time.

>>3630078
Is it really true that the Wii is the only "socially acceptable" console and having more than one console or any console earlier than 7th gen visible in your living room will make visitors think you are a shut-in manchild?


Which of the following is the most shocking to normie sensibilities?

Affectionately stroking my Saturn before playing it.
Using a compass to make sure my CRT is aligned with earth's magnetic field.
Typing all my daily ideas and reminders on my FM Towns computer.
Having a rack or arcade PCBs in anti static bags to swap out when I want to change games.


Rate all the different gaming devices old and new (including consoles, computers, handhelds, arcade cabinet, mobile) from turbo normie to profound autist.
I'll start off the list:

Iphone

>>3632970
>Typing all my daily ideas and reminders on my FM Towns computer.
Is that an euphemism for fapping to eroge?

>>3632970

All of my friends are normies. Not sure why. It just kinda worked out that way. The only place I can talk vida games without getting blank stares is /vr ;_;.

>various people on forums saying store employees told them that Nintendo isn't even going to get out a large number of shipments before Christmas

>don't care about the console and just want the controller

why

>>3633078
That's what I was told

I also wouldn't be shocked if some peon at a mall was wrong

>>3632369
Spoken like a true middle schooler / woman. You also didn't know what that they told you beforehand.

>>3632542
>But Try already sounds like Tom Hanks as Woody.

By far the worst scalping I've seen yet with this shit, typical Hamilton

>>3632970
I can't be the only one who laughed his ass off at this.

>>3633325
How did this even happen? Stores were lucky to get 5 to sell. Did this prick have a whole gang out all across the GTA to gather these? Just wtf

>>3633365
Maybe he was one of those people using bots?

Or maybe he hasn't actually bought all of them yet, but he made those boxes and people will order one from him and then they'll eventually get it after he buys it.

>>3633365
I noticed the ad got taken down later that day, at least I couldn't find it anymore, which is weird. My theory is it was definitely teamwork, there's no way 1 guy could have gathered all those in the few hours they were available in stores before selling out

>>3633375
actually now that I look at that, picture might be fake. He says he has 60 but that's way more than 60 in the picture

>>3630794
>new, good, games that play like retro ones.
>good
There isn't a SINGLE FUCKING """retro""" game that is even halfway good, and they aren't even retro. They're modern games with fake 8/16 bit graphics because they aren't good enough handle the more advanced stuff.

>>3630764

Hardly. Super Mario Maker adds a very substantial piece of software and an online community to the old games it mimics. You can't get all that for free.

This thing appears to add nothing much to the 30 games it emulates.

>>3631141

Hahahahaha

Sorry dude but you don't live in the world you think you live in.

>>3633419
Those are some thick nostalgia goggles you got there, sir.

>>3633426
A game with modern mechanics, and I'm putting design here too, is by definition not retro. Or was there some game from the 80s with ten checkpoints per screen that I've never heard about.

>>3631607
Why would Nintendo purposely keep supplies low? It doesn't benefit them. Lrn2economics

>>3632568
>>3632584
Yeah, spending $60 on a box of rocks is a waste of money.

And so is the NES Mini. You're paying for an emulation box that takes up space with trash emulation. You can get far better quality emulation FOR FREE without taking up any space. It is most certainly dodging a bullet. It seems Nintendo hasn't learned a thing.

>>3633325
I don't why it's an issue since only idiots and retards will buy this. A fool and their money soon part.

>>3631708

Nintendo sells out of these, and it's a shitty product? No wonder you're poor and they're worth billions.

>>3629965
Oh wow. nitpicky manbabys don't like it. chances are if you agree with, or think like, this kind of person, you should stop playing video games and get laid for once.

>>3633434
It plays the games just fine. Relax.

>>3633438
Oh wow. manbabys like it. You'd just call them them mindless Nintendrones.

>>3633445
huh?

>>3629965
Only things I consider actual issues are the sound lag and short length of controller cables. Everything else seems pretty negligible even if it isn't perfect.

I'm not gonna get one but this product isn't for me anyway. It's for casuals. And that's fine, they wont notice or care about these smaller problems.

>>3633438
Nintendrones, Like this, console because, commas, everywhere, and it is shit.

>>3633435
>Brittany Spears makes millions off her music, it obviously must be top notch!
That's not how logic works.

>>3633458
>short length of controller cables
Because it was designed to be attached to a Wii Remote. Speaking of which, the NES Classic Controller is perfect and better used for WiiWare and third-party emulation on the Wii.

>>3633462
lol

Has Brittany Spears even been relevant since the 90s? A better compaison would be Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus.

>>3633432
https://eaves.ca/2008/12/11/wiinomics-nintendos-scarcity-strategy-keeps-paying-dividends/

If Brandenburger and Nalebuff are correct, then it looks like scarcity has been a Nintendo strategy for over 30 years. Check out these tidbits:

Even as demand took off, Nintendo remained cautious about flooding the market. It strictly controlled how many copies of games were produced, and pulled its own games off the market as soon as interest declined. Over half of Nintendo’s game library was inactive. Sometimes, severe shortages resulted…

…Somewhat paradoxically, the shortages may have helped create even more consumer demand. There were at least three different effects going on. First, shortages made the game cartridges even more desirable in the eyes of consumers, actually boosting demand. Trendy restaurants play the same game. For example, the long lines outside K-Paul’s in New Orleans made it even more fashionable, further increasing the lines…

…Second, shortages made headlines; filling demand would not have. “Tonight’s top story: Nintendo sold game cartridges to all those who wanted them. Details at Eleven” We don’t think so. The shortages generated tremendous free publicity for Nintendo, a company known to be rather stingy on advertising (spending only 2 percent of sales).

Third, shortages helped retailers move slower-selling Nintendo games, because parents would buy a lower-selling title if the the kid wanted was sold out. Of course, this was only a temporary solution, what we call the “Band-Aid” effect. The substitution might tie the kid over from Christmas to New Year’s, but kids tend to remember these sorts of things. So parents would have to return for the sold out title once fresh supplies come in. Nintendo made two sales instead of one.

The Games Played For Nintendo's Sales
By ANTHONY RAMIREZ
Published: December 21, 1989

Meet the man behind Nintendo, the video game maker that is the talk of America three Christmases running.

To his admirers, Peter Main, vice president of marketing for Nintendo of America, is a master seller of children's entertainment. They say he is a skilled businessman who has learned lessons from the unhappy history of the video game business and helped revive it into a $3.4 billion industry in only three years.

To his critics, however, he is an aspiring monopolist, squeezing supply and jacking up prices. Charging monopoly, a competitor has sued and a Congressman has called for a Justice Department investigation.

Once Nintendo has snared a consumer, Mr. Main makes sure not to let go. Nintendo employees use hand-held computers at toy stores to monitor sales. Names of Nintendo Power magazine subscribers are added to a four-million-name data base. As many as 120 ''game counselors'' answer telephone calls from puzzled players of ''Legend of Zelda'' or ''Super Mario Brothers 2.'' All of the information is searched for clues to marketing decisions: what products to make and how many to make of them. What does a fickle consumer, aged 8 to 15, want now?

Where other companies also foundered, Mr. Main said, is in flooding the market with their games. 'Inventory management is absolutely critical to this business,'' he added.

So Mr. Main makes sure that scarcity whets the public's appetite and sustains demand. By design, the company does not fill all of a retailer's order and keeps half or more of its video cartridge library inactive.

Nintendo exec: ‘We’re working very hard’ on Wii supply

By Troy Wolverton | twolverton@bayareanewsgroup.com
September 28, 2007 at 10:41 am
“We're working very hard to make sure that consumers are satisfied this holiday, but I can't guarantee that we're going to meet demand. As a matter of fact, I can tell you on the record we won't.”

"(They) should have a range of outlets that they are frequenting: a Target, a Wal-Mart, a Best Buy, a Toys ‘R’ Us, a GameStop, CircuitCity, all of the likely suspects. They ought to talk to the manager and ask them, “When do you get your deliveries?” And they ought to stop by on a frequent basis. We’re going to flow hardware. It’s not that it’s going to show up only on one occasion. It’s going to be constantly flowing in. The only other pragmatic advice is that we're aware of the situation, and we're working very hard to address it. Believe me, I'm constantly pushing for more capacity and more volume.”

>>3631729
I work IT too. You're full of shit.

>They ought to talk to the manager and ask them, “When do you get your deliveries?”

this nintendo exec obviously doesn't know how his own company operates with regards to sending their gear out to retailers

i receive deliveries in a warehouse connected to one of the store's listed.
nintendo's products come straight from nintendo, so we "get our deliveries" any number of days after nintendo sends them, and all of nintendo's products are ordered by our head office for us

for this dickhead to be telling customers to go ask store managers when they get their deliveries shows how ignorant he is of how retail works. we don't get "deliveries from nintendo" on specific dates. their shit arrives when they get off their arses and send it to us. ffs

I randomly came to this bowrd thinking you fuckers might know how i can get this thing. Sounds like it wont be like playing the real thing because of lag. I just want it because i dont want to bother hopking my laptop up to my tv and fucking with putting a controller that is unlike theboriginal controller. Sounds fucking gay. I would rather mindlessly consume. Because i can afford to. Also dont want to download a virus fucking with some shady site so i can play with some keyboard or bullshit controller. Anyone can pirate why dont they? Its because pirating is a pain in the ass and denigrates the experience.

>>3629965
Why does everyone freak about how small it is? Their like, oh it's so cute and look how much smaller it is than the original!

Like, you can play these things on a phone the size of a credit card, and it runs them better and can hold the entire library of games. Relatively speaking it's a fucking monster.

OP you're right, but at the same time, I'm glad it exists since they'll eventually be on discount and I'll pick up some extra controllers to connect with my wiimote so I can pair it to a retro receiver. I hope they do the same for the SNES. Also, I figure someones gonna hack a way to download more roms onto this thing or create a drop in replacement motherboard that does the same thing.

Amen to this. It's an overpriced toy for normies who can't get their head around emulation. A Wii, a thrift store CRT, and a USB NES pad will give you a much more authentic experience for about the same price.

>>3637114

Nintendo's done this sort of demand manipulation since the original nes barring the gamecube I think.

who doesnt do demand maniupluation?..

people are so fucking simple on this forum.. dont understand basic economics or marketing.

the person buying this will -never- emulate. They would never care to pick up a PS3 controler and play over a HTPC etc even if it was as easy as pressing a single button.

poor fags around here dont seem to get that.

>>3637213

The pitiful distribution is only going to hurt though it doesn't have the kind of legs to matter long-term. It's not going to be on any xmas lists next year.

I was going to make a comment about how Nintendo should just re-release cartridge games or the original systems or something but i'm honestly more baffled by hearing that "people who don't know how to emulate will buy this".

People who don't know how to emulate? Who the fuck doesn't know how to emulate?

I know people who wouldn't even be able to tell you what a GPU does in the most /v/tard of terms, I know people who are the kind of people to fill their computer with taskbars and use internet explorer on Windows XP and even they know how to download a fucking emulator.

any third world fag worth his salt knows how to emulate at least in their phones, my fucking normie sister was able to setup a Nintendo DS emulator when she was 10 yo.
Even the most retarded person on earth could at least out of instinct google "how to play NES games on your PC".

There's no way in hell there are people younger than 30 who can't emulate, I find it hard to believe a person older than 30 doesn't do it for any other reason that they don't care about videogames.

It's not that people don't know how or have the capability, it's that they could not be bothered to do so.

I don't care what the actual motivation is, I'm kind of bothered by all the people in this thread suggesting someone can be stupid enough not to know how to use an emulator.

Hey quick question since I never had a Wii until now

I have everything except a sensor bar, can I still emulate?

>>3639674
You can use a classic controller to navigate the main menu without a sensor bar.

Or you can use something like Priiloader to boot directly into the homebrew channel or something like usb loader.

>>3639674
You can put a small light (heck even lit candles) on each corner of your TV and it will act the same way if you really had to. The sensor bar isn't really a sensor, it's just a pair of infrared lights inside the bar, separated from each other. It's the wiimote that does the sensing.

>>3640448
Can confirm. I used to have to turn my christmas tree off because it detected the lights.

I have a friend that almost slit his fucking wrists and cussed scalpers like they were the third coming of Hitler just because he couldn't get one at launch.

His mom gave away his NES when he was a kid, and I'm convinced he has some sort of ridiculous PTSD over it, because wanting this piece of garbage so much can't possibly be natural.

Whenever he mentions it I have to contain myself not to snap despite usually being a calm person, because of the idiocy of the situation. He has actually gone on record to tell me he probably wouldn't even play it anyway, it just for goddamn nostalgia and collecting.

YOU FUCKING DUMBASS WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET THAT YOU CAN'T BUY IT IF YOU WON'T EVEN PLAY IT
THE SAME FUCKING SHIT HAPPENED WITH AMIIBOS AND THE STOCK STABILIZED OVER TIME, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH WAITING MORE IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA FUCKING USE IT

I'm not gonna flip out on him though. Despite having some really idiotic behaviors he's a chill friend pretty much always. It just pisses me off how much how he gets upset over quite literally nothing.

>>3641953

>ROM editors
You don't have a 4-in-1 rom editor on any system but the Wii U and the 3DS in three days

Sometimes you just want to create a simple level and you don't feel like opening lunar magic / any smb1/3 level hacking tool / anything else and wasting an entire rom just to play a single level.
Also playtesting is more difficult to do in LM since you need to load the rom every time and in SMM you just have to enter... what was it? playtest mode? I don't even know, but hopefully you got the point.

>>3637325
This isn't about IQ or lack of technical knowledge. The machines/finance/office politics people operate at work are more complicated than any emulator or game.

Normies lack agency and ambition.
They are only motivated to do things by hype or when they see other people doing it.

The passivity of normies is why most prefer to watch TV over playing games.

Indeed, the most normie console Wii had its controller shaped like a remote to appeal to them.

This is also why as modern gaming has become larger and more socially accepted, games have become more "cinematic" requiring less player input or strategizing.

Gaming only blew up to rival Hollywood in size after the 6th gen when the graphics reached the point where its not required to use your imagination to fill in the blanks. The mindless drones which comprise 70% of society have no imagination.

>>3637325
anyone can pirate a PC game, so why do people buy games on steam?

1 micro USB power supply $9.00

The entire NES, Master System, TurboGrafx, SNES, Sega Genesis, NeoGeo, every 8/16-bit arcade game you can think of and some PS1 games to boot $0.00

You're stuck with a shit emulator and non USB controller too.

>>3644751
For the gotta have it but didn't buy one and now I need one crowd, add a 128GB microsd card and dual X arcade stick with trackball for less than the Nintendo Classic is being scalped for on Amazon.

>>3631762
The first part is usually right. PC game settings are kind of a hassle especially when developers fuck shit up and you have to and tweak shit.

He's also not wrong that you have to spend some time getting shit to work right with an emulator because they usually aren't configured properly and some some settings will cause input lag etc...
Though the benefit to doing that is it's usually a far better experience than off the shelf emulators like the NES classic or Wii VC because they literally couldn't give a fuck how shit looks, runs, feels or sounds. As long as there's some noise and graphics and buttons do shit companies will be more than happy to slap a retail price on it and ship.

>>3644751
>>1 3ft HDMI cable $3.00
Make that 30ft for $13, throw in an active USB hub and a 30ft USB cable and you can skip the Pi, SD card and power supply and just emulate from the computer you already have.

>>3644751
>every 8/16bit arcade game
>wanting to play arcade trakball games, which were designed for precision movement like Marble Madness and SegaSonic the Hedgehog with a fucking 4-way d-pad

no.

>>3644928
What's keeping you from using a trackball, mouse or whatever USB device? You can also get adapters for other connectors.

>>3644938
Actually, nothing, but in his setup he's just using a Buffalo usb. If he doesn't have any usb controller with a joystick, he's gonna play with the mouse, and that's... unpleasing, to say the least.

Also not all trackballs are good when using them as controllers.

>>3644941
I can't imagine playing a game like Missile Command with a joystick.

>>3644946
Sometimes an input method is better than the others, even though that's not always the case.

I, in fact, can't imagine playing marble madness with a mouse, since it's a game that requires constant fiddling with the trackball, and doing so with a mouse would probably kill my arm after two games.

>>3633425

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of tasks that anyone can do but will not for a lack of motivation. Let me think of a few:

Bake own bread
Drive a manual transmission vehicle
Grow a garden
Make own cooking stock
Change own car oil
Use a non commercial operating system
Do your own plumbing
Build your own computer
Pull your own weeds
Slice your own meat

This is just the tip of the iceburg. For a few who do these activities there is a level of satisfaction. For the rest they are chores that would rather be hired off of if able.

Emulation is just one of this.

>>3644983
Do I know the wrong people or do you?

>>3632576
>The sound isn't perfect, but it's not Famiclone bad or anything.

You know, that really bothers me. I keep being amazing at how terrible people are with sound.
That guy video goes on about all sorts of video nitpicking that most people won't care about, and then when it comes to sound only THEN it says "most people won't care or even notice this"

If anything the sound delay is what bothers me the most. I know he's right though, most people ARE retarded with sound, look how many people will buy a TV worth thousands but output the sound through the shitty speakers of said TV.

tl;dr the sound delay IS terrible. Because people have low standards in terms of sound doesn't make it any less bad.

>>3644983
Driving a manual is a life skill

>>3644928
It's still cheaper than trying to buy an NES Classic on Amazon right now.

They're oblivious to how that makes them redheaded child of the world in that regard, and they'd need to learn a different licence to learn manual, I swear.

>>3631750
If it seriously takes you that long to do those things, you might actually be retarded.

>>3630449
Goddamn you people are so retarded.

Using a good ROM flash on original HW is the same accuracy as O-Cartridge + OHW. This is not the same as emulation.

We have explained this a billion fucking times by now and still you plebs don't get it.

>>3633689
>putting a controller that is unlike theboriginal controller
You know I often hear silly arguements like that from people who don't emulate. And it's ridiculous.

Your computer setup is as good as YOU make it.

It doesn't have to a shitty desk in the corner of the room with a wooden chair, a 15" screen with built-in speakers, and playing with a 2$ knock-off third party controller.

Your emulation setup is as good as YOU make it to be. You CAN use the original controllers. In these days and age, you can get completely accurate emulation for most consoles. You CAN even have two screens if you want to, or even link your computer to your old CRT in an efficient way.

In the end it's cheaper than doing a real console setup and you can also use this great computer setup for other things than retro games.

It can be as good as your 'real console' setup, it can be better, and it has all the advantages of emulation.
It's as good as you make it out to be, period.

Seriously, anti-emulation fags should stop with this arguement. It only makes them look silly.

Also only computer illiterates catch viruses.

>>3630009

This.

Everyone who has a basic understanding of emulation could tell this thing would just be 30 flashed games. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's running off an edited version of Nestopia.

You would be better off getting a Retropi for close to the same money, and far better of an emulation box. It would likely be more accurate too.

Most people that visit me have, in general, this mindset partially due to my field of work. It's simply keeping up appearances.

>>3649446

USB input lag is not that bad and yet it is often the first thing people blame. There are other far more significant sources for lag through retropi and windows emulators and the USB polling is a very small part of it.

>On top of that delay, we'll get 4 ms average (half the polling interval) for USB polling and 8.33 ms average (half the frame interval at 60 FPS) between having polled the input and kicking off the emulator. These delays cannot be avoided.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2019/an-input-lag-investigation

I doubt the mini-NES will have any more or less overall input lag than the Pi.

>>3649683
Hardwired controllers on a bus designed for gaming is probably at least a little helpful. I've been generally impressed with the lag on my NES CE, and my TV doesn't have great response time. I'll know better once my new monitor comes in.

>>3649658
Fair enough, but unfortunate all the same.

I know some people have used the GPIO for hard wiring controllers for the PI, but that had more to do with personal preference and the DIY factor than for performance.

Of course this thing isn't for pirates, cart dumpers, or physical cart collectors with CRT SDTVs or 15kHz monitors. For what it is and whom it's for, it's a nice enough package that is a great deal, particularly for something ***LEGAL***.

This overseasoned thread is too salty for my tastes, as a physical game collector and someone who has every rom on multiple emulation boxes. It's ok to be a nerd, but the most out-of-touch nerds get too bent out of shape when it comes to this shit.

Some people care, anon. And even many of the ones that don't are clearly attracted to the presentation and convenience of this thing, for the price. If someone else could make a better value proposition for the same content, this shortage clearly presents an opportunity for them to step up. Let's all wait and watch that happen, if ever.

This is inherent in all HDMI audio sources. HDMI just wasn't designed for instantaneous audio, the likes of which old games and systems (and modern rhythm games) require.

Just read about the Rocksmith 2014 debacle. You can't play it without at least a little lag on PS4 and Xbox One no matter how much stripping down you do of the processing on your audio equipment, you need to get it on PS3 or Xbox 360 and route your audio through a non-digital signal from the console (or get it for Windows/Mac).

>>3652171
>and route your audio through a non-digital signal from the console (or get it for Windows/Mac).

Does HDMI and Displayport on Windows/Mac also have lag?

>>3652184
Yes. The reason you would get that game on a computer is to use the analog audio output on it directly to your sound system, such as powered speakers. This is how I have my PC gaming systems set up, including for emulation.

>>3636974
What? The Genesis was a great console. You never played Dynamite Headdy, Ristar, Toejam & Earl, Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Ecco the Dolphin, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Alien Soldier, or Comix Zone?

Of course it's bullshit. It's so bad it shouldn't be allowed to be sold because there is literally no logical justification for it, it is just a scam. None of the people who created those games are seeing a cent of it.

it literally takes all of a minute to map usb controller in any of the dozens of emulators I've used over the years. Some of them I can map in as little as 10 seconds.

His image?

The meme is that anyone who investigates Hillary or digs up dirt on the DNC end up dying in tragic "accidents" or suicides.

This actually happened to only a dozen people (including former co-workers at her law old law firm) but that was enough to start a meme. Conspiracy people added another 0 or so names to the list but those were grasping at straws.

The thing is that prosecutors tend to work on a lot of cases and have a lot of enemies, and the same can be true to witnesses who testify in those big muddy federal investigations. It could be just a coincidence that they were involved with Hillary.

Okay, that's funny. I had assumed a flaming mystery machine was a metaphor for Hillary's health, and that makes no sense

If this fag would stop trying to be funny this video wouldn't be completely insufferable because it was actually informative.

You need to reevaluate what is a bullet

Normies don't know how to soft mod a wii.

Fuck I want an NES Classic so bad and it's still beyond fucking sold out. Nintendo fails so hard.

>>3660931

It's not Nintendo's fault, it's scalpers buying up all the units in their stores and then listing them on eBay at mark up.

>>3660938
If Nintendo didn't learn their lesson with Amiibos then they're limiting supply on purpose.

>>3632464
You mean to play games in a way developers didn't intend?

>>3629965
Did the "nes classic is nx hardware" guy ever comment on it?

>>3644751
This.
I didn't believe it at first until a friend recently built and demonstrated. It is beautiful.

>>3660938
No it isn't it's fucking Nintendo's fault for trying to use their artificial scarcity strategy on everything they make, it doesn't fucking work and it only fucks everybody over who wanted one to actually own and play not profit off of.

>Where were you when you actually dodged a big fucking bullet?

Doing the same shit i always did to enjoy my "classic" games.

>>3629965
>Where were you when you actually dodged a big fucking bullet?

Actually chomping down on that bullet at the asscrack of dawn. Wasn't sure if I was gonna play it or sell it, I got a seperate controller which is the main reason I wanted the thing so I flipped my console for $150 profit. Merry Christmas me!

No bullets dodged but a nice payday acquired.

Yeah their scripts are kinda cringe at times in the best Game Sack way possible. But the work they put into this is above reproach. Extremely informative and helpful.

I also really like their set up tour, they comfy as shit.

Please, stay with your reproduction cartridges, you're a liability for your computer.

Simply because you have money to spare doesn't mean you should spend it frivolously.
And 65 dollars a round? Poorfag. I'd spend more than that on myself alone.

Come now, who else are you going to ask what booze is good? The guy who only has vodka and coke or the same cheapo-beer, or the guy desperate enough to try adding flavouring to the most disgusting of his friend's wines to make it tolerable enough to keep him drunk to the end of the night?
