/vr/ - Retro Games

Modded consoles normally bother me as well, but the NES is one of the few exceptions. The standard machine is ugly as sin and a lot of the mods look pretty cool. Nothing of value is lost by prettying up that ugly hunk of shit.

My biggest trigger? People who emulate. And they're all hyper autistic too. It's like trying to get them to appreciate classic cars and instead they tell you that you're retarded because their shitty 2001 malibu does everything better. No appreciation for authenticity or artistry, just spergs who think playing on a PC is the same thing as playing the real deal. It's sad, really.

so if i'm curious as to the gameplay in little samson or snow brothers i have to shell out a fucking downpayment on a house so i'm not a faggot? get real. Emulation and ROM dumping is a fucking blessing.

>so if i'm curious as to the gameplay in little samson or snow brothers i have to shell out a fucking downpayment on a house so i'm not a faggot? get real. Emulation and ROM dumping is a fucking blessing.
No, you're a faggot for playing gay shit like little samson or snow brothers to begin with. If it's some kind of super rare game that you can't find for less than 10 grand and you absolutely have to play it, okay then, go ahead. But we both know that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the kind of faggots who are too cheap to spend $70 for an N64 and a copy of Ocarina of Time so they can experience the joy of basking in the glow and hum of a CRT and playing a game the way it was meant to be played, instead of playing some bastardized ROM on their computer emulator. Again, I don't expect someone like you to understand why the authentic experience is better because you lack a soul and thus lack the capability to appreciate anything which exceeds the limits of your robo-autist mind.

>>4441118
dude you're a hyper faggot i'll add you to the list of things that trigger me

>>4441126
Like I said, the truth hurts.

>>4441002

So I got used to playing Umihara Kawase on a real snes with an everdrive. I was lazy and at my computer (it's stupidly overbuilt/overpowered "gaming rig"). I have fucktons of emulators on it as I used to be into that type of thing.

Anyway, fired the game up on the computer for some savescumming to practice a tough spot. The WHOLE FUCKING GAME seemed slow, like it ran 10-15% slower than on a real SNES. I thought it may be placebo from all the red pills that vr hands out. Back to SNES, it truly played faster, how I remembered it.

I tried 2 different emulators, and while playable, there was noticeable slowness. Umihara Kawase is a game that demands correct speed, emulators failed me...

While playable, and maybe not noticeable for those never playing on real hardware, or those who haven't played in years, there is a definite difference on that game at least.

>>4441136
shit he must be the artist who painted that

>>4441081

No, just a flashcart on real hardware. Don't get me wrong, emulators are fine, but there is a difference, and one you don't have to be a turboautist to notice.

It's a toy. It doesn't hold historical value. If someone dug up a doll from Renaissance era, it's not going to blow anyone's mind. Not only that, literally tens of millions of these were made. It really is not a big deal. You need to get over yourselves on what other people do with their property.

Retro gaming stores. I don't mean small ma-and-pa, of those even exist anymore. I mean the ones that run like GameStop.

>>4440991
Is it bad that I can’t stand nostalgia? I suppose that’s a bit of a generalization, but nostalgiafags are the single stupidest people in the world. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand being nostalgic for complete shit, but I figured that more people would have the self awareness to realize that the things they’re nostalgic for are objectivey shit than there really are. It applies to shovelware ps1 games just as much as it applies to old cartoons, with people unironically suggesting that their favorite 90s shows could still be aired and wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb at all for instance.

>>4441023
Alright I'll bite; modern RGB mods for the NES trigger me. Shoving an FPGA into your console so you can output a fake color palette is really ridiculous. PC-10 PPU mods are tolerable if you don't murder a PC-10 board to do it, and of course, consoles that actually natively generate RGB are cool to mod since you're just tapping into what the machine can do. NES is designed to be composite only. One should get a SHARP Titler, a PC-10, or emulate that shit if you can't handle the dot-crawl.

>>4442094

Top kek kid. I agree with nearly everything he said. If he knew there was a sizeable portion of Asia outside Japan where SCART is a thing and Famicoms were sold he probably would have got 99%

>>4440991
I've seen really ugly art but come on, I'm pretty sure most of you are jealous of people who can paint shit or be creative. I'm not saying N64 controller lamps are art, but i can sense some failed artists crying around every time these kind of threads arise.

there's nothing more autistic than caring about what other people does with their toys.

Because those shows would have actual anatomy and quality as opposed to Cal Arts "what's a model sheet" noodle limbs and golfball eyes?

>>4442257
yes, 90s cartoon designs don't look hideous at all

>>4442279
1998 - 2004 barely qualifies as a 90s show, to be fair.

Collector fags deserve to be crucified. Driving up the prices of even common games. Good thing I can usually pick up snes and n64 games from my local fleamarket for 20$ or less. Ebay sellers are scammers and you should not support them. I have no issues with emulation. Especially if you are not ready to spend some money on retro hardware just yet.

>>4442328
it's entirely YOUR fault for not buying them when they were $5. it's not our fault you're underage

>>4442330
Except I didn't miss out on them. I have a decent SNES, N64, PlayStation, and Dreamcast Collection. Most of which I was given by my parents for good grades back when I was in school or games I picked up when I had.a job in high school. It was only recently when these common games became expensive. For christ sakes, they are just children's games.

>>4442337
$30-40 is not expensive to anyone who has a job, but let’s be real here you don’t have one do you

>>4442340
You can spend your $30-40 dollars on something far more valuable and useful than dumping it on some "rare" retro vidya that nobody liked back in the day. As much as I like playing games from my childhood, unless the game in question makes good use of the hardware, the game is probably not going to warrant any sense of value. You sound like a pissed off ebay seller to be honest. Nobody is buying your collection so you can pay your rent? I doubt anyone selling their cartridges at $30+ is even going to bother to clean the contact lens on the cartridge.

There's one in a town nearby I go to. They sell neat but common games like Pipe Dream on the NES for like $10 but any major Nintendo game like Majora's Mask or even Wario World is around $50. They also don't label fake games, just mark them down slightly. They also sell other collectibles like Hot Wheels, Legos, Transformers, Gundams, and vintage lunch boxes, mostly for a lot of money.

>>4441118
what is emulating on a crt

>>4440991

That doesn't bother me, but what does bug me is
"8-bit sprites" that aren't even the right fucking color like your example picture.

People who accuse others who play games on certain consoles or from certain developers or collect games of being manchildren for "caring about toys" or whatever while still playing games that ultimately aren't much different.

>>4441118
>understand why the authentic experience is better
One word: Nostalgia.

You only think it's better because you get that rush of nostalgia from it. Literally no other reason.

>>4442126
The PC-10 PPU is rare and should be used for servicing Play Choice 10 machines. The end result for PC-10 modded NES systems isn't that great, is extremely complicated and expensive. Etim's RGB solution works better and does not interfere with any of the system's functions if you install it correctly.

Why waste a PC-10 PPU on modding an NES when a FPGA will do the same job better and cheaper? It's stil la real NES playing games through the real original hardware, just with an additional helper chip to get RGB output.

The way some people whine about RGB mods you'd think they were talking about gutting the system to put a Raspberry Pi inside.

>>4444668
I don't disagree about the PC-10 PPU situation, I generally think it's a poor and destructive solution. That said, the FPGA solution is inaccurate and inauthentic, particularly when the NES/FC was designed from the ground up to only generate composite video. I don't see the point in RGB modding consoles that weren't designed to generate RGB, as I said in my previous post; especially when that mod requires sticking some modern hardware inside the machine to fake it.

>>4444648
"Only", like nostalgia is nothing. Yes, you lose the nostalgic feeling, and that plays a HUGE fucking role when I decide to play old games. Why are people so triggered by nostalgia, and why do they pretend like it isn't important to the experience?

>>4442732
>not getting comfy high and getting lost in old video games

LMAOing at your life

>>4444748
>why do they pretend like it isn't important to the experience
It's only important if you played them originally that way.

You won't get a feeling of nostalgia playing a game you never played.

>>4444668
>extremely complicated and expensive
You are full of shit. It's simpler and cleaner than an NESRGB mod

>>4444856
This guy knows what's up, and his mod is reversible too.

>>4444856
>>4444872
>The end result for PC-10 modded NES systems isn't that great
https://youtu.be/XfswulxBxh8
It isn't any worse compared to the NESRGB. It's perfectly clear and sharp if you do it correctly.

>>4444717
Have you actually used one? It works almost perfectly. The only complaints I have about it are potential line noise that might end up in your setup due to the components not being as thoroughly shielded as on a more mass production product, but that kind of comes with the territory when you're going from analog to digital.

>>4444878
You are stuck with the PC-10 pallet though, which does not look accurate. With the NESRGB you can use any color pallet you want and have up to three accessible by a physical switch.

>>4444895
>does not look accurate
>Is literally the only official palette on og hardware that is definable in set rgb values
Ok then anon...
Anyways, I didn't try to bash the NESRGB, i simply wanted to show off how much bullshit this tard >>4444668 is talking.
Also, og RGB palette is actually really good looking on a nice CRT. It'll grow on you if you keep using it for a while.

>>4444905
Having the option to customize really can't be beat though. You can either go for a more perceptually accurate look (which the PC10 can't do) or try other configuration to get one that you like even more.

I get that some people are real sticklers for using only original hardware but I think some of those people tend to be really obnoxious to interact with online. The only people worse are the ones who will screech autistically if you do any kind of modification to the system at all.

>>4444444

>>4444910
Well, I agree with you on that one.
By the way, why would you ruin your case with a physical switch when you could simply use this addon board?
https://github.com/borti4938/NESRGB-IGR
I always hear people talking about physical switches but why would you do that if you could simply do it with button combinations?

>>4444895
PC-10 palette is literally the only accurate RGB palette.
>>4444878
We've chatted about your mod before, you're cool in my book anon.

>>4444920
Yup, thanks anon, likewise.
Here's another work-in-progress picture.
I dunno why I like it so much but the thick layer of soldermask they used on the top of the AV Fami boards looks really neat.
For some reason I find that photo oddly pleasing

>>4444946
that does look quite appealing, really clean PPU removal too.

>>4444914
I was not aware that was an option when I installed mine. Seems like a nice option though.

I installed the switch inside the "trench" on the bottom side of the NES so it's more or less invisible. I really can't stand the idea of seeing big clunky toggle switches on the back of a console.

>>4444920
The PC-10 is not perceptually accurate to what an NES looked like on a TV though. And if I am going to settle for an innacurate pallet I might as well try one that I feel is an improvement instead of settling for the PC-10's. On my RGB modded NES I can switch back and forth between a pretty good "perceptual" pallet that looks close to how the original NES colors looked, or an enhanced pallet that looks more vibrant. I can even use the PC-10 pallet if I want.

>>4444958
Shoehorning emulator palettes into your vintage hardware is settling, hombre. If you're primary aspiration is to have an 'accurate' palette, and you're for some reason not using composite, you're really doing it wrong.

>>4444971
w e w, I should proofread my posts after editing them.

>>4444971
You can make your own pallets. No-one said you have to use "emulator pallets."

Also, composite looks like ass and always has. It's even worse on the NES than it was on the SNES due to how simple the graphics are. The grass in Zelda 2 for example is notorious for looking really bad when the screen scrolls. It looks perfect over RGB though (which is what you are seeing in this pic).

>>4444958
I think you're talking past each other.
The palette of the RGB palette is arguably the only original palette made by Nintendo with real hardware.
Does it look close to the original composite out signal of an NES? No.
It isn't really even possible to make an RGB palette that is close to real NES colors though anyways.
That's why I can only laugh about those spergs who make their own palettes trying to convince people that theirs is the most accurate.
There's a reason why NTSC jokingly stands for "Never Twice the Same Color". All sets and capture cards interpret the NTSC signal of the NES and it's colors differently so how would you even make an all around accurate palette?

Anyways, yes the NESRGB is pretty neat and it's definitely a great creation since it brought RGB capability on the NES to a lot more people than the RGB PPU did and it stopped the huge influx of people trying to get their hands on RGB PPUs.
Additionally, the RGB PPU isn't without it's flaws. It does seem to glitch on a small number of games and it has an "incorrect" (I don't know, maybe it was intended like that though I wouldn't know why since it's kinda retarded) implementation of the color emphasis bits. Instead of darkening the other colors if one bit is enabled it maxes that one color out. If you enable all three you will effectively get an all white screen. That renders some games like Felix the cat unplayable unless you hack the ROM to disable it.
While on that topic, I still don't understand why they did that on Felix the cat. They have all three bits enabled all the time which pretty much darkens the whole game. Considering the fact that it's a game about a cartoon you'd think bright colors would be something you'd wish for but w/e.

>>4444983
>that geometry

Look, all REEEing aside, I don't actually care how people how people play their NESs/Famicoms (as long as it doesn't involve murdering working consoles), but this is a trigger thread, so I was just screeching in the appropriate location. I'm all for RGB when the machine spits it out, I just think the Famicom/NES is a nearly perfect console, so I don't personally feel a need to fix the one thing it lacks. But that's just me. Pic related is a stock Fami over RF on a US consumer Triniton.

00s kid detected. Keep crying about how you weren't born in the glorious 80s or 90s

>>4445547
tfw grew up in the late 90s and early 2ks but grew up playing retro consoles and ms dos games because my older brother gave me his old things when he got a new console or computer

>>4445548
Late 90s early 2000s is an awkward phase for gaming. They were just moving into 3D, and while there are some great games, in terms of visuals it's really really hit or miss. And even the good stuff isn't that great, because it was let down by 3D being so new.

Obviously how fun a game was/is doesn't entirely depend on graphics, but for me a lot of great games from the late 90s early 00s have aged poorly because of that, and the often horrible control schemes.

Incorrect aspect ratios in general. Not just people who stretch retro consoles to 16:9, but also people who think that e.g. the 256x224/240 output of the NES/SNES should be stretched to 4:3. It bothers me more than it should.

>>4445558
In terms of visuals, I am right.

Compared to previous generations of games (megadrive, snes, etc) the early 3D stuff hasn't aged as well, due to the limitations of the new tech.

The games themselves are still great, and lots of fun to play, but from a pure visual standpoint they don't hold up as well as the 16-bit era

Some people don't have the ability to go to a retro store and pick up all the shit, or some people no longer have TVs that accept composite cables, or some people don't wanna deal with other people's dirty af consoles/games. Get off your high horse that people even have $70 to spend to play "the authentic experience" when they got other more important shit to take care of.

THE ARCADE GAME

The only argument I have for the famicom is that I owned the American versions for so long that having the different body version feels cool because I haven't seen it a thousand times already. Also with flash carts it doesn't matter.

>>4449545
>flash carts
add that to my list

>>4449556
I knew you would say that. They may be overpriced but if you can't afford it that's your problem.

>>4440991
I don't care about painting, but this particular mod pisses me off. Why not put entirety of Mario on the top? Jesus fucking christ.
Also if you're already making mods, why not use official Mario art and put it on a decal instead of blowing up a recolored sprite 20 million times?

>>4441029
WHY DOES IT SAY 'THE ARCADE GAME" ON THE NES?!
I'm angry.

>>4442279
They're not attractive, but they're certainly unique and interesting compared to all the shows today that use literally the exact same face shape.

To be fair, the only reason his overalls are green are hardware limitations. They couldn't get red cap, orange skin, blue overalls AND a black outline (so overalls will stand out from the blue sky) on an NES.

That's why both SMB2 and 3 use one color for overalls and outline (dark blue and black, respectively).

Of course, one could argue that if you don't want to celebrate those hardware limitations, what is the point of even using pixel art in the first place - just put a proper drawing of Mario in color-accurate overalls there.

>>4449873
I know, but it still pisses me off. They could've chosen ANY game. Fuck, there's already a completely NES-exclusive Turtles game they could've used!

>>4444648
You're awfully critical of nostalgia.
One might call you a nostalgia critic.

>>4444748
Nostalgia isn't bad, but few people acknowledge that it's indeed just nostalgia.

Most people lapse into bullshit excuses about 'original experience' or 'how the developers intended it!"

It's okay if you want it that way, but I was born in 1992 and I don't give a flying fuck about difference between a CRT TV and a sharp LCD display. In fact, because I played a lot of indie freeware games on PC in my youth, I'm probably MORE nostalgic for the sharp pixel look - but I've never seen anyone acknowledge that CRT doesn't make games 'objectively better' and it's entirely matter of personal preference.

>>4440991

>what is higan

>>4450143
No. I like owning a large collection of games. Don't you own anything that you haven't used in a while? Books, maybe?

Apparently bubble screen CRTs are better than flat screen CRTs

>>4450091
I'm not critical of it at all. I fucking love nostalgia. I just don't pretend that the "special" feeling of playing on an original console is anything but nostalgia.

>>4441002

I respect your opinion, but it sucks. Without emulation, do you realize how many "lost" games would've stayed that way? Prototypes and betas that would've never seen the light of day? If anything, we should be thankful for emulation.

I'm curious. If you're against emulation, what does your collection look like?

>>4449879
But that's the best one
The NES brought the arcade experience home same as the genesis

>>4442714
That's probably because it'd be strange if the normal Mario outfit had a sprite form that didn't match the normal outfit's color scheme, while all of the other outfits' sprite forms matched their respective outfits' colors.

>>4441029
It would look good if it wasn't branded/themed with tmnt.

People who give the Sega CD shit without playing any games on it and just saying that night trap is bad because "game look ugly", and not looking at the list of Sega CD games that had some quality, Snatcher, Out of this ect, ect.

>>4451759
To be fair, Night Trap does actually suck though

These videos, but not for the reason you'd assume. Like the one with the little kids and Gameboy--I never understood why stuff like that absolutely pisses people the fuck off as much as it does. Don't even give me that shit "IT'S BECUZ THEY DON'T RESPECT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT MODERN TECH OWES ITS BLABLABLABLABLABALBA"

Imagine if your grandparents got upset with your parents because they didn't know how cylindrical records worked.

But in your pic, I'm guessing someone BTS did that on purpose to fuck with turbo-autists. It wouldn't be in the frame if it wasn't meant to be.

People who don't think emulation is awesome. Like wtf everything about emulating is better: more rendering options (tons of filters instead of one dumb CRT electronbeam shit filter), completely free, literally all the games plus translations of Japanese ones, more controller options (100% authentic if you want or take your pick USB gamepad). The list goes on, but I'm gonna stop here.

I was wondering the other day if there are any retro clothes that would be acceptable to wear. They all just scream "look how hip and nerdy I am" don't they.

Although, my buddy has a shirt with diskun on it that I really like

>>4441118
this aint a cringe thread

>>4454082
best retro clothes are the ones where normies don't get that it is retro, should be really subtle

>>4454082
>clothes that would be acceptable to wear
Just wear whatever you want to wear, people are going to judge you no matter what.

>>4454082
I got a Nintendo World Championships shirt at the Nintendo World Store. Normies and nerds alike comment on it, and it's not in your face with the 'xD'

Who cares about a modded console that was produced in the tens of millions? Its pathetic to see people treat consumerism like it's some kind of higher purpose.

It's not like its a rarity like that Panasonic GameCube.

The video game crash was a good thing, because you could get loads of games for cheap. And if it weren't for some greedy Japanese company then the US would play on awesome micro computers like the Amstrad CPC 464 and the Commodore 64 instead, and not be forced to pay a fortune to play shitty platforming games.

>>4440991
Always despised stuff like this or any marking on consoles. Maybe I'm just a fedora tipper and respected the machine too much

why does emulation trigger you fags so much? i'm not gonna spent $300 on a cart because >muh nostalgia when i can play it on my computer or modded PSP for free
>b-but scan lines!
i'll survive

The so blatant troll threads that get more attention than any other thread.

"X CONSOLE IS THE BEST. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SHIT. DISCUSS."

Would be nice if mods kept the /v/ attitude off of here.

>>4459237
Input lag. It's really there, and while most people won't care, it affects the experience significantly for people who play retro games a lot. No one is forcing you to play on-console, we're just saying we wouldn't ever want to play on emulators ourselves. inb4
>inpuht laeg is jast a meme bru

>>4459261
I agree it affects some games, like tetris attack on a Wii with LCD/LED is flat out impossible to enjoy for me. But I guess I'm either lucky to not be bothered or just got used to it from emulating since the days of Nesticle.

>>4459237
Emulation doesn't trigger people. Emubabies filling the board with threads about it does.

>>4441029
The actual paint job bugs me. Why is it light green on top and dark green on the bottom? It's got the color scheme of a Ninja Turtle flipped on its back, that's cruel.

Using save states.
I do this :)

>>4459261

My monitor has almost unnoticeable input lag. They market these fucking things to the FGC now, but I got one before lots of people moaned about input delay.

I have played both traditional retro console on old tv and emulator on low-input delay monitor and the difference is literally unnoticeable. Unless you are doing 1f dependent execution for speedruns or combos, but even then you just have to curb your timing by 1 more frame of input.

>>4449869
