/vr/ - Retro Games

because it's a horrible language and there are so many others that will benefit me more than learning it

But the only game worth playing on it is Chip Chan Kick and you don't need to know Jap to fully enjoy it.

>>5695676
I have learned Japanese, but I have little interest in the PC-FX. If I want retro anime porn I'll play a PC-98 game instead.

>>5695676
use this thread to blog a playthrough of Team Innocent for us

>>5695676
>amazing games on the PC-FX
like 2 maybe

I learned it only to realize that there aren't really any exclusive games I want to play that badly. However, an unintended side effect has been that watching Japanese porn is a bit awkward now that I can understand them.

>>5695676
I am learning nip. Shit's a fucking pain in the dick.
Not doing it for videogames, though.

>>5695691
Zenki is decent too.
you don't need to know nip to play it either, though

The real question is why haven't I killed myself yet.

>>5695676
I learned moon before that was made. And long before you were made. And not just to play games. Japan was the second largest economy at the time. And it was a great stepping stone to learning the future second largest economy. Why haven't you learned anything except how to shitpost?

>>5696631
And here you are at like 50 years old discussing Sonic, Hop 'n' Bops, and whether Mario 64 is overrated.

>>5696676
I'm 50 and a half and not discussing any of that. And yet I trigger zoomers who are discussing Sonic, Hop 'n' Bops, and whether Mario 64 is overrated. Sounds like I win.

>>5696631

Nice larp

>>5695676

I'm going to Japan in August and am learning the language.

Should I buy one of those while there?

>>5695676
PC FX? Thats different from PC engine?>>5695993

>>5695676
I want one so I can gut it and put a mini-itx motherboard in it

>>5695676
This is one of the most A E S T H E T I C consoles of all times, but I don't want one. There's just nothing of interest to me in its library. I'm sure it's great for someone, but it's just not the type of games I prefer, even if they were in english.

>>5697926
It was the successor to it.

>>5697890

>>5695676
Damn. Those FMW games it provided.

>>5699248

>>5695676
There's literally only one good game for that.

>>5699938
which one?

>>5696687

日本語の勉強は易しくて、楽しくて、面白くて。

>>5701357
A couple of problems there but the main one is when you make a list like that, the last word doesn't use the て form. You should also use something like と思います at the end because just making statements like that is seen as bad manners or obnoxious.

>>5701369
yeah i noticed the trailing て right after i posted lol. and thanks for reminding about とxます

>>5696631
There's some kind of larp or bait or mental dysfunction going on here.

>>5701716
You'll always find plenty of mental dysfunction in a thread with tards butthurt because they can't learn a language.

>>5695993
why didn't they translate this instead of that shitty dating sim?

I've yet to find a mature post on all of 4chan. Let's be honest we aren't exactly finding a cure for cancer over here.

was anybody who originally bought one not a pedophile?

>>5704958
4chan is literally the opposite of the cure for cancer

>>5705123
Tallgeese is the cure for cancer

>>5695676
Because more people speak English than Niplish. Any arguments about any other languages are irrelevant; English is better, you filthy savages. Deal with it! :D

>>5705978
It's ok if you don't want to learn nip but everyone should learn a second language. It's a life altering hobby and at the very least it severely decreases your chances of parkinson's and dementia.

>>5705989
>be multilingual, speaking four languages fluently and another 22 well enough to get by
>professor of linguistics and cognitive science
>still get PD diagnosis
Didn't help me.
Know the worst part about PD? No one tells you that you'll start developing early dementia or that your breath will smell like a week old corpse in Calcutta because the tremors cause your teeth to grind, creating microcracks that that are impossible to keep clean.
Know what else they don't tell you? Playing video games and riding a bike keep PD symptoms at bay. Regularly, I fidget more than an unmedicated ADHD kid after he'd had some Jolt cola but while I play vidya (and for a short while after, too), I have no symptoms at all. /vr/ is literally improving my quality of life.

>>5706072
Probability is a bitch.

But I get you, the worst part of neural disease is that you know what is happening and you have no way to stop it. A lot of patient I spoke with got a depression on top of whatever they had

>>5706072
>be multilarpual
FTFY

>>5706072
That's shit to hear man. You on that dopa stuff to alleviate your symptoms?

Also, what are your vr games of choice to further alleviate the PD

>>5695676
It only has 2 games with actual gameplay, the rest is visual novel tripe. Pass.

>>5697901
No, it only has 2 actual games and both of them go for absurd amounts of money.

>>5695676
If I wanted to learn Japanese, are there any good audiobooks or podcasts to help with that? I always thought it would be good for romhacks to display both the Japanese and English text in fan translations for the same reason.

>>5706390
An audio book isn't going to help you much with Japanese test sport

>>5705795
I saw three tall geese in Japan last summer

Despite popular NEET belief its actually quite hard to learn a completely foreign language when you're an adult who have a job and a life

>>5706754
Why would you waste your time with either of those things when you could be learning a foreign language, though?

Personally, I don't bother much with old PC stuff. It's fun to go on a dive through occasionally and look at some basic doujin releases, but SRPGs and JRPGs are both genres I despise. The only SRPG I can stand is Sakura Wars, and I've yet to find a single JRPG I can stand that isn't literal porn.

I did. Now I lol at EOPs. Especially that one walking salt mine here on /vr/.

>>5706390
The only good option for that is Koei's EMIT. It was made as a game to teach English to Japanese but it works the other way as well. It allows you to switch between English and Japanese independently for audio and subtitles and go back and forth between sentences.
It was ported to a lot of systems like PS1, SS, 3DO, PC98, SFC (with CD player synchronization) but not the PC-FX.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emit_(video_game)

Otherwise translations take too many liberties to work as a cross reference.
You can try it with manga and you will see that the translation doesn't match the Japanese.

>>5706943
Hm. Interesting. Thanks.

>>5706943
God, I'm reading Yotsuba in nip right now to practice (lots of resources just surrounding the first volume alone). The translations take a fucking asston of liberties.
They're still useful for figuring how certain things work, but you still need to do a lot of manual referencing of words and grammar and big chunks of a translation can be made from whole cloth.

>>5706754
nip is kinda obnoxious to learn, mostly because if I'm reading something and I don't know the word, if I can't just copy/paste it into jisho and there's no furigana, I'm completely SOL because I don't know the kanji to look it up with

>>5707826
Learn how to use radical lookup. You'll get pretty fast at it soon enough and it'll help your retention.
https://kanji.sljfaq.org/mr.html

>>5707826
Use OCR based tools.
For compound words where you can recognize some of the kanji you can use wildcards.
Or you take a guess at the meaning and look up in a dictionary if you were right.

>>5707826
Draw it in something like IME pad or a phone tool

>>5695676
I have a PC-FX, around 20 games and I know japanese but I lost the AV to AV cable that comes with it because I'm an idiot. I don't really know what to do.

>>5708590
Buy a new one? Isn't it literally just a normal RCA cable?

LARPing using google translate isn't as easy as you think. But it certainly is fun to watch you make such a fool of yourself.

>>5709061
Don't be a dick. He might simply be a beginner learner who didn't consume enough Japanese material to notice 易しい isn't something you use like that. And I doubt you generally fare better when producing Japanese.

>>5695676
I'd rather have an MSX2

kek

>>5695676
You don't need to actually learn Japanese to play those games...they only games you'd need to learn the language for are visual novels and those are shit anyway. If I can play SD Gundam games or Brandish 3 with no knowledge of the the language, then I don't need to learn it.

>>5713872
>he's literally retarded, underage and triggered

>>5713941
It's pretty obvious you're lying, anon. Japanese is useless to learn Chinese

>>5708664
I don't know if I have it but I can take a picture of my games if you guys are interested. I actually won an auction of around 20k yen years ago. and got it.
>>5708595
The cable is supposed to have two ends and both ends are AV.

>>5713876
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Most PC-FX games are story-based, or visual novels.

>>5713948
>The cable is supposed to have two ends and both ends are AV.
I legitimately can't tell if you're trolling or just incredibly retarded.

>>5700535
>>5701631

One of these is acceptable....

>>5713941
Seethe and project more, here's your (You) in the meantime.

>>5713947
It's pretty obvious you're ignorant, underageanon. Kanji is nearly Identical to Chinese simplified and nearly all have a reading based on the original Chinese. Normally I'd say you're baiting but since it's summer I suspect you're actually a literally retarded summerfag.

>>5714930
>literally unironically seething and projecting

>>5715017
I thought kanji is traditional Chinese and that Japan doesn't use simplified.

I'm not about to learn some country's retarded culture just to communicate in their language. I learned English just fine because South America and America/UK are very similar.

Does anyone know about Russian culture to tell me if I should learn their language? I have a boner for Mother Russia.

>>5715084
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjitai

>>5715096
Don't. Nothing good will come from learning Russian. Most to all people who speak it natively are horrible, unpleasant human beings.

>>5715265
So it's somewhere between traditional and simplified, but closer to traditional. Got it. So >>5715017 is Wrongy McWrongerson
