/vr/ - Retro Games

Because seriously, what the fuck is going on that we don't have a HoMM/MM general? I was /out/ for last 3 months, came back, no trace of it.
The hell?

Third post for the best girl

Sixth gen was allowed to retro and a LOT of the oldfags flat out left.

>>7352529
Understandable. From what I see the board sucks now.

>>7352529
Oh... oh... that fucking sucks.
/vr/ was literally the only place where I could talk HoMM4 without having to deal with "HURRR BAD GAME DURRR" for 5 hours before the discussion could go back on track.

>>7352529
>and a LOT of the oldfags flat out left.
thank god for that.
old people are worthless.

children have made nothing, yet act like the little arrogant lords of everything

>>7352623
Young people are mostly faggots or dumb as hell, what's your point.

Fuck off, wojakposter.

/vst/ was created. The HoMM threads are there now.

They're... not quite as robust. The biggest shame.

Sup, newfag?

What's the fucking point of making all those gaming board for specific genres?! We've got one for RPGs and now one for strategy. Both look almost completely deserted, yet we got /vr/ dumped with 6th gen. What's the end goal here?!

Anyone had luck running Might and Magic: World of Xeen in Dosbox with Roland CM-32L music? Both floppy and CD-ROM versions for me are unstable mess prone to crashing. I tried googling for people with similar problems, but a handful guys who had this problem years ago were always told to play with Adlib music and get over it.

Use the GOG version, swap the files

>>7354453
GOG version crashes as well.

>>7354470
Then it's either your hardware being at fault or your OS. Which one are you using?

>>7354245
the goal is splitting off as much traffic from /v/ as possible, because it's huge and nearly impossible to moderate, which puts a dent on Hiro's advertisment fraud scheme.

>>7355460
Yet, no /v2r/, which would easily worked as a middle ground between /vr/ and /v/.
Oh well, hiro on his way to mismanage another site, nothing new I guess

>>7356315
Whoever is setting up the new boards is not actually using 4chan and has no idea what the site needs, he just sets them up based on whatever potentially has the largest users.

I'm surprised that we haven't gotten /vfps/ or /vbrawl/ yet.

>>7358284
I think the intention here is reverse:
Take people who don't fit into regular /v/ shitposting and offer them safehaven. Hence RPG and strategies getting their own, separate boards, without the issue of being part of /vr/ and "muh retro".
Said that, we really would all benefit from /v2r/ and base both on clear cut-away dates, rather than "muh retro". /vr/ would be able to maintain its own users, /v2r/ will meanwhile attract people genuinely interested in games from the 00s, up to, say, 2012.
Instead, we've got the idiotic decision for 6th gen and majority of /vr/ mainstays - like HoMM/MM general - simply disappearing.

This games crashes even in PCem using SoftMPU. I am convinced that the executable itself is bugged and nobody noticed it back then because 95% of users were using Sound Blasters and not MIDI devices.
Let's hope someone writes MIDI support for this game in ScummVM soon.

>>7358886
There's no safe haven consideration whatsoever. The idea is to cut up /v/ because it is too large. Same reason why we had a bunch of bullshit boards made back when /b/ was the largest board, and by now /b/ doesn't get any good content anymore.

s4s is probably the only board on 4chan that's still like what 4chan used to be.

That's being rather charitable.
