/vr/ - Retro Games

I use a Wii with HDMI output and emulators. Fight me, fgt

>>5935378
That's fine, that's not what I'm talking about. The Wii is a nice budget option for playing those games on a CRT. It's not a $200 FPGA dev board marketed for emulation accuracy down to silly idiosyncrasies.

The hell they are.

The absolute state of emulets

Back in 1998 I was able to get an SNES, two controllers and the following games all for $8 at a yard sale because everyone had moved onto the N64:
Super Mario RPG
Super Mario All Stars
Link to the Past
Yoshi's Island
DKC 1, 2 & 3
Super Mario World
Goof Troop
Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday
Pac Man 2
Pinnochio
And a couple other shovelware titles I can't remember

I shortly afterwards also bought Kirby Super Star, Mario Paint, Mario Kart and Mega Man X for like $5 each (back when eBay was relatively new).

It sounds like I'm bragging but at the time I was a spoiled brat and actually saw it as a bad thing because all my friends had a PS1 or N64. So I was actually seen as the loser/poor kid with the console and games nobody wanted anymore.

If I could go back in time I would have looked for Chrono Trigger and Earthbound but I didn't even know about them at the time. They're the only two big SNES games I wish had been a part of my childhood.

Nice blog.

>>5935539
your bitterness is palpable

>>5935530
pics, faggot

>>5935545
Dude I'm 39 years old, I hit the garage sales too. Got a top loader nes with box for $12 with a few games and all hookups. still have it to this day. No bitterness, just pissing with you.

FPGAs are cool though. Imagine someone programming a SNES in verilog.

>>5935365
What the fuck are you smoking faggot
CRT - Free on Facebook
SNES - $40
Svideo - $8

>>5935365
>>5935365
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YOU CAN'T SPEND YOUR DISPOSABLE INCOME LIKE THAT, I DON'T LIKE IT AND IT'S NOT RIGHT.
YOU SHOULD PLAY ON THE ORIGINAL CONSOLES ITS MUCH CHEAPER THAT WAY. Y-YES IT IS.
STOP TRYING ANYTHING NEW. I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO PLAY YOUR VIDEO GAMES /VR/

VeriSNES

>>5935530
€7.28 for the gear, €trillions for the time machine.

>Imagine actually paying to play old video games

>>5935365
Nigger, I ain't fucking with translation patches on an actual cartridge. How the hell do you even do that?

When did you realize that the retro hardware aftermarket is literally just selling you useless shit you don't really need so they can make huge profit margins off a niche market?

>>5935961
they haven't. they're too far up their own asses searching for PVMs or BVMs to take a picture of games they'll never actually play and post it on the internet

>>5935948
>what is a flashcart

>>5935365
You forgot the additional $70 in shipping.

I go to a lot of yard sales and I haven't seen a SNES at one in a decade.

>>5935365
I've always been of the opinion that FPGA clone consoles are a massive meme. I can at least understand getting one of those FPGA boards that has cores for various different consoles as an all-in-one box for doing everything, but certainly not the various mini consoles by Analogue.

For the most part, the only actual benefit over a real console is the native HDMI output. But even then, if you want multiple consoles hooked up via HDMI, it just makes more sense to use the original consoles outputting RGB to an OSSC anyway. Especially since someone going the all-HDMI route would need to use this anyway since not all consoles are available as FPGA clones. So it really is in a niche where there just isn't any point.

It would make more sense if they focused on making FPGA clones for obscure/expensive/rare hardware. But when we're talking about Geneses and Super Nintendos, consoles that are like 20-50 bucks max, that most people into this shit probably already own? What's the point? The only one that ever made any sense was NES since it cost a lot of money and effort modding it to RGB anyway.

>>5936028
Costs just as much as whatever the fuck this doo-hickey is.

>>5936203
My TV will only accept line double mode from the OSSC so the best I can get from 240p sources like SNES and Genesis is 480p. Suggesting the OSSC is some kind of universal solution is sadly over generous.

>>5936203
I think Analog's also hit onto the fact that people like something premium to sit on the shelf. Same reason that a lot of people buy the Mini consoles that're hot right now. You can make one yourself with a RetroPi just like you can make an FPGA console yourself with one of those dev boards, but you don't get the same sex appeal at the other end when it's hooked up to your TV, or at least that's what companies are banking on.

Plus in all fairness, they do need to subsidize making the software side of things while selling fairly low run products. Though I'm sure they're well past covering that within the first thousand units moved.

There is not one non-trivial, non-meme thing that a SNES FPGA box does better than a PC running Higan.

>>5936374
That doohickey is a $90 addon for a $190 device. A cheap flash cart runs maybe $50.

>>5935378
>I use a Wii with HDMI output and emulators. Fight me, fgt

you mean one of those shitty chink shit scalers who add input lag and its not gonna look ANY different than if you just connect the damn thing on the flat screen and play on Game Mode?

no thanks

>>5936771
Those things don't upscale anything, it's just 480p through hdmi.

>>5936752
>cheap flash cart
Yeah, nah. I've learned my lesson buying cheap flash carts. Never again.

>>5936890
What did you learn? That mommy gets mad when you use her credit card online?

>>5935365
I agree with you but you kinda missing the point here. 25+ years old SNES won't last as long as freshly released hardware, so see it as a another mean for future generation to play accurately (more than some emulators I mean, I only have original hardware so I cannot vouch for FPGA solutions) SNES games. We, on the other hand, still have the choice to play either on OG hardware or FPGA (and emulators ofc).

>>5937208
>be underage
>post on board dedicated to grandpas toys
Life choices indeed

>>5937362
If you're posting on 4chan you've already fucked your life beyond recognition. It's just different stages of denial.

That the thing has a chance to actually explode.

Do those DACs work on anything that has HDMI output? Might buy one if so to play Bloodborne in max comfy mode

I thought that fpga's were capable of outputting analog video identical to the orginal console or better which is why I am not getting the gba consolizer. The retrousb avs is also hdmi only.

>>5936203
Good point, and I would like to add that I don't really get the FPGA fetish because at the end of the day it's just another emu fucking lator... some people seem to think that being implemented on hardware will magically make it better than emus or some shit when I'm almost 100% sure custom parts (aka the video chips) will always go from re'eng docs from emu people and not an actual trace-by-trace 100% accurate recreation of it.

>>5937580
Site says it's only for their shit fpga boxes, so no.

If you don't get it then your comment should be
>I don't get this, I am not smart enough
We don't need all the extra shit.

>>5936771
Not that anon but he probably means one of those great chinkshit scalers that don't add "input lag". It's kind of ironic but by using the cheapest part they could find they actually ended up with a great device. You still need to upscale but f you have a good option for that (ie a TV that didn't cost $100 from wallmart) you'll be fine.

>>5935378
This but with a CRT. I like the look of CRTs and emulation doesn't bother me.

>>5938684
The Wii's pretty handy for that because it's capable of 240p output, yeah. Shame that the PS3 can't do it, or it'd be even better for a modern platform with emulators but on an authentic screen.
