/vr/ - Retro Games

If you're okay with fake cartridges, then just get a flashcart.

>>4963224
kinda makes for a boring shelf.

if i do get a flashcart, it would be for demoing games I'm not sure about.

>>4963253
materialismfags everyone

>>4963273
but it makes me feel good when i look at a bunch of games. the various labels and cover arts... its pretty exciting to me.

why is this bad?

>>4963281
it's like getting excited about a bunch of burned CDs or bootleg VHS tapes. they aren't collectors items but you can make them look cool and that's fine.

>>4963253
>kinda makes for a boring shelf.
Irrelevant. Games are meant to be played, not looked at.

>>4963297
i do both.

just looking at them makes me wana pop em in and play.

>>4963296
with carts like this the line is a bit blurred since most of these are english repros of JP only games.

certainly makes them pretty interesting i think. certainly won't be worth anything, but i love that these things can be made. its exciting to suddenly be able to pop in a SNES game that was never available before into a actual SNES and play it. makes it feel new.

>>4963253
Your Stupid NoFriendo's connector is abraded every time a cartridge is inserted or removed. It wasn't designed to last this long and will last much longer if you just leave a flash cart in. assuming you actually play games

>>4963273
I tried dating a guy who never learned to have fun on December 26th. It was pretty unpleasant.

>NoFriendo
You keep using that as if you think it's clever.

>>4963004
ghost sweeper mikami is weird. it's like george jetson decided to buy a vacuum

>>4963374
I don't think it's clever. Actual boomers I know in real life say it.

>>4963406
Actual boomers are 70 and don't say that.

>>4963410
Some are. Late boomers are in their 50s.

>>4963406
Your uncle saying that one time when you were playing a ds doesn't count.

>>4963463
I've seen evidence of its use at least two decades ago. Here's something more recent I found interesting:

>>4963004
GO AND PURCHASE AND EVERDRIVE OR A SD2SNES FAGGOT!

>>4963369
im not using an actual SNES... I'm using a Super NT.

>>4963398
its more like Valis meets Ghost Sweeper the anime.

you're thinking of another game.

>>4963004
>gimme some SNES recommendations to repro.
Why don't you go die in a fire with all your other bootleg buddies.

>>4963932
most of these games are modified from their original version.

i like playing JP only games in english.

>>4963004
Are you going to do those cool translucent casings with ornaments and lights? Or just boring grey blocks?

Maybe do some of the hacks scheduled for the upcoming GDQ?

I bought a retro cart of Starfox 2. And Tengai Makyou Zero, though that may be the patch burned onto a legi cart, I dunno. I have a Super NT, so I only need physical carts of Super FX games.

>>4964201
i like to keep them classic usually. i might go for a gimmicky color if its appropriate for the game.

I'm open to hacks and mods.

>>4963281
So collect originals fuckface

>emulators are in fact the best way to play any oldie game

hard for me to believe anyone believing this especially since emuparadise just announced they are shutting down. the future is grim for roms

>>4964291
i do actually have a few originals.

i have originals of Donkey Kong Country (its still saves no less), Out of this World, Flashback: Quest for Identity and a couple of others.

>>4964296
What's stopping you from getting more

>>4964284
Most SNES carts are already dropping in value, or at least failing to keep pace with inflation. By the time they attain antique status and increase in value, no one will care what ROM is on them.

>>4964298
availability and reliability

fact is, these things are old and not always owned by people who took care of them and kinda hard to come by.

trying to find a decent copy of metal warriors for example... not that easy.

also- it happens that the games I'm most interested were never translated into english. repros are a great option for me.

>>4963313
I think that's cool. I collect super famicom games in addition to snes games because I like the boxes.
I think if I made my own bootleg I would make umihara kawase

>>4964284
There won't be a Windows 35. Microsoft has been moving towards just calling it Windows and gradually updating it so they won't have another XP with users clinging on for 30 years and expecting support.

>>4964296
Have you ever tried to brick your DKC cartridge with that one glitch? Does disconnecting the battery fix it?

>>4964310
Ok valid reasons.

>>4964317
im not aware of such glitch. if i was, id probably never try to do it.

>>4963372
>never learned to have fun on December 26th

What does this even mean?

>>4964318
yeah, getting english repros of JP only games suddenly has opened up a vast ocean of new games i never thought id ever play or even knew existed so i know its not nostalgia making me like these.

so far every game i have has blown me away by its quality and overall design. they don't make games like they did in the SNES era anymore.

>>4964326
yeah I'm not crazy about repros of us releases but and English translation of seiken densetsu 3 or dragon quest v seems fine since they should be cheap enough

>>4964365
>yeah I'm not crazy about repros of us releases

sometimes its utterly nessesary. you won't find copies of Hagane, Metal Warriors or Dracula X at all. at the very least, you won't find them at a fair or reasonable price. they are just too rare.

>>4964380
yeah in those cases making a distinct label or cartridge is best I think. I dont care that much if people like repros and that stuff but I just won't own any myself.

>>4964776
For Dracula X I decided on the psp art by Kojima

>>4964295
meanwhile on archive.org you can play roms in your browser

>>4964324
he had one day, ONE DAY, to learn how to have fun and he blew it

>>4963004
Seiken Densetsu 3 or whatever you call Secret of Mana 2
Terranigma
Magical Pop'n
Treasure of Rudras

>>4965082
Magical Pop’n has been added to my list
