/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm playing Battletanx 2 on mine right now.
Suck my dick

>>7999826
Well, there's like 5 decent Japanese-only games that have translation patches that you can play on that.
Like Dobutsu no Mori, Doushin the Giant, Sin and Punishment, Viewpoint 2064, Bomberman 64 Arcade Edition, Custom Robo, Wonder Project J2, Puyo Puyo Sun 64, any whatever else comes out in the future

There's also several Zelda romhacks, Mario 64 romhacks, Doom 64 romhacks, and a few others.

You can also use it to develop your own romhacks or translations.

Also, to be fair there's like 30 really good games on N64 like Mischief Makers that most people have never even heard of.

>>7999826
It's okay that you're retarded and haven't tried any of the games on this system besides Mario and Zelda, OP.

>>7999826
do you ever stop coping about the N64?

>>7999826
That's why you get the $80 clone so you can play Star Fox and Goldeneye when you get nostalgic

Is it better to order through Amazon or from Krizz's website?

>small library
can this meme die

nobody is going to play the entire library of any console, a personal library of 30-60 games is standard for any console, you don't need any more than that. You fags that can't even name 10 games worth playing should off yourself, I would have a hard time limiting myself to just 30 N64 games desu.

>>7999826
I don’t think it was very expensive
I paid $190 au for it and I got it because I heard about people having issues with their games not saving all the time and I’ve had no issue with that

>>7999901
They probably bought the x5 cart that needs to have you hold reset for five seconds after fist saving in game. x7 doesn't have that "problem".

>>7999826
I don't care, I even enjoy playing some of the schlockier games for the N64. Earthworm Jim 3D is actually decent and I will die on that hill.

>>7999826
I got a chink version for $80 and it was worth it. I hardly play it any more but it's nice to have just in case.

Playing the Gray cart version of Turok Rage wars and Clayfighter 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut makes it worth it.

Also, the best version of Ocarina. Master Quest Redux.

>>7999928
Don't the chink ones fail?

>>7999946
Only chink version you should be buying is the GDEMU.

>>7999838
>Viewpoint 2064
Literally never heard of this one. Looks sweet. Good post anon, thanks for giving this thread a reason to exist.

>>7999948
>GDEMU
How easy is it to install if I have zero soldering skills?

>>7999893
kill yourself bitch

>>7999826
there's around 70 or so n64 games worth playing

>>7999954
you just pull the cd drive out and slide the gdemu in. there's no soldering

>>7999954
GDEMU does not require soldering.

>>8000061
>>8000058
its recommended you disable the 12v line

>pay games I want without shelling $60+ for them on ebay
>play jp games without having to mod cartridge slot
>play romhacks on original hardware
>plays NES games too, iirc

>>8000045
stop lying

>>7999893
You haven't even played 30 Pretendo 69 games this decade.

>>7999893
This zoomer thinks 90s kids had $3,000 worth of N64 cartridges

>>7999826
Still better than paying some fat jew on ebay

>>8000349
Retard. My point is that as a kid you never had a large library, most kids never had more than 10 games for any console. Nobody was complaining that 300 games was too small when they only could afford 5 games at the time. The 30-60 figure is assuming you're downloading roms or are a collector. Hardly anybody except autistic full set completionists has more than that.

>>7999924
I remember playing EJ3D years ago on an emulator and thinking it was decent. Was surprised to find out about the negative reception it got.

>>7999893
Got a whole rack of them, plus another drawer of them in an armoire. All different games. Dilate.

>>8000063
I still haven’t seen any evidence of this helping anything, all I’ve heard is removing it is bad for RGB

>>8000378
Okay. I have 45 cartridges. Nice collection.

>>8000381
Misread your comment mate. Off to sleep, night.

N64 is probably the worst console that wasn't exactly a failure of all time. The only worthwhile games in its library are a few scotformers and racers. Can't believe it sold 20m+ in the US.

>>8000369
I can get like 20 repros for the cost of an Everdrive (if there were 20 anyone wanted to play) and midwit guests don't get confused trying to use them. It's a good way to keep the 30+ babies occupied while the adults are playing tabletop.

>>8000387
Your syntax is queer

>>8000387
t. YouTube addicted zoomer

>>8000387
How much better off would we be if Pokémon hadn't happened and Nintendo just exited video games like they should have?

>>8000387
100% true, mad zoomtubers won't like it but the N64 wasn't an important console in the grand scheme of things. You can skip it and miss nothing.

>>8000410
At the time, it was the only way for total ducking bumpkins to play 4-player FPS. PS1 had multitap, but PS1 kids didn't know three (3) other people with the attention span to sit down and play with them I tried to get the kids across the street to play Twisted Metal IV (4) with me when they over but they were more interested in yapping with my mom and brother(

>>7999826
I enjoy over 100s of games on N64, cope.

>>8000458
Stop lying. You haven't even seen the title screens of fifty (50) of them.

Some people on here really need to seek professional help. Triggered by a piece of plastic that was made around 30 years ago.

>>8000807
It's just Sonyfags still upset their parents bought them the wrong console and have never gotten over it. Same people behind N64 hate are also behind Treasure hate, because Treasure rarely developed games on the ShovelwareStation, leading them to be envious of what the other kids were getting, amazing classic games.

>>8000826
Why would I be envious of N64 when I had a PC?

>>8000826
>>8000807
You mean australia-troon?

>>8000832
Amiga shit doesn't count

>>8000832
>PC
Oh man, you had it even worse than the Sony kids.
I'm sorry.

>>8000841
I also had a PlayStation and a stepbrother with an N64 during my cuck dad's second marriage, so I got to play stuff on it two weekends a month. Brother eventually got his own N64 because he really wanted to play Perfect Dark.

In response to all the Sony trollls who call the Nintendo 64 the
Pretendo 69, I urge everyone who's sick of this to refer to the Sony
Playstation as the Phony Playshitstation.

N64 games have aged like milk. I was an N64 kid, but I find myself gravitating toward Saturn and PS1 stuff for my nostalgia fix for that gen these days because the games for this thing look like mud and run at 15 FPS.

>>7999826

I dont care.

>>8000896
You cared enough to bump my shitpost

>>7999924
Tried it and liked it until the boss fight.

>>7999826
I bought it and have only played N64 games. Now I have the luxury of playing games I never had, on my actual console with cheats and romhacks if I want.

I'm having a lot of fun. Since having this thing I've beat...

Donkey Kong 64
Conkers Bad Fur Day
Mega Man 64
Super Smash Bros
Super Mario 64
Castlevania 64

I'm having more fun with my N64 than ever.

>>8000923
Have you had sex since you bought it?

>>8000929
Grow up

>>8000937
says the jabroni regressing to childhood activities

If you're going to play with kid toys, at least try the the more recent ones. Some of them are actually pretty great, with hand animated sprites.

>>7999826
>because most of the <400 titles are shit
Even if that was the case would the average console owner (Not retarded obsessives that post on here) would own up to 10 games max?
What zoomies don't understand is that back in 96,not onky did people actually have to buy games, but they were pretty expensive as well. You couldn't download every game for free - fire them up in a shitty emulator, play them for five minutes and call them shit because you died on for first couple of goes and move on to the next one.

>>8001068
I can get the handful of good games or repros for less than the cost of a knockoff multicart, and even those aren't worth playing today. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is much better designed, and even Sanic Racing is a better option for PCels

>>8000943
are you lost anon?

You're clearly lost. https://www.reddit.com/r/wojack/

thanks, added to my webring

>>8001073
You do realise that this is /vr/ ? Its /v/ that you're looking for if you prefer playing modern games.

>>8001094
There is no difference between "retro" (would be "vintage" if you read books instead of playing with toys) gaming and ABDL

>>7999826
Nah some of them are actually decent and good games that aged really well.

That was a great time for video games.

The problem here, is the hardware and price. Oh ya the controller too. All of these can be fixed though. They should remake a lot of these games desu

Coming here and being like m-m-manchild doesn't work. We're aware of what we are and aren't ashamed. Modern gaming is shit. Every 4chan meme made after the year 2008 is not funny. This faggot is going to be a bitter loser like we are in ten years and he will be proud. You can pretend to be a normalfag Chad all you want but I will never believe you as long as you keep coming to this website.

>>8000929
No, but that's because I have a young baby and work 6 days a week. I stay up late to play games.

>>7999893
I beat the entire SuperGrafx library.

Your move gaytheist.

>>8001103
ISN'T IT SUGOI DESU NEEEE !! \(^o^)/ !!! NYAAAA OWO Uguu heehee :3 BESTEST SITE EVAAAAR O_O *-* LOL X3, SO KAWAII <3 RAWR >:3

>>7999826
Just playing the same 10 games I had as a kid makes it worth it due to the insane prices these days.

If you lost all your old games, everdrives usually pay for themselves if you simply want to play all the old popular games everyone owned but now cost $40 each.

>>7999826
>games age
Go back to /v/ or reddit or wherever you came from

>>7999838
Viewpoint was never commercially released

>>8002791
There aren't ten games you'd actually play. Stop lying.
Repros would cost less than a flashcart and not confuse (You)

>>8002797
$40 is a steal compared to msrp, unless you don't actually believe those poorly aged games are as good as new ones?

>>8002809
hi :3

>>8000379
The GD drive is the only thing that used the 12V rail. Leaving the regulator in does nothing but create excess heat that raises temps. This is documented and proven by multiple people online. Collingall of Laser Bear tested it with a thermal sensor. You do not need to remove it but it does help.

>>8000349
Frogspammer got banned from /k/ and /tg/ lol.

>>8002882
show proof of it doing anything detrimental enough to remove

>>8002892
I never post on those boards, and I only get global bans.

Stop being so insecure faggit

>>8002620
Lolwtf show bobs

>>7999893
Then name them. If it’s so hard to limit yourself to 30 games it should be easy to make a list of your favorites right now.

>>7999826
>have aged like (You)
Hey I've aged great, I'm 34 and I barely look any different from how I did in my high school photos. Do you not exercise?

>>7999893
This. As a kid you couldn't afford all the games you wanted, and as an adult you don't have time for all the games you want to play. A few dozen solid titles is all you need, everything else might as well be shovelware.

>>7999826
ROM hacks alone make getting one worth it. There are hundreds of SM64 and OoT/MM romhacks alone. Do sony games even get rom hacks lol.

>>7999893
>>8000369
People are mad at you for for being right.

>>8002898
It's documented and tested that without loading the rail it overheats badly to the point of failure. You can buy plastic inserts that act as an airguide to help cool it, but that's only a bandaid. Really these ODEs should have some way to load the 12v and spread the heat around some.

>>8003396
show proof

>>8003425
I don't know what more proof you need than the words of the oscilloscope monkeys that built the hardware.
"One important thing to mention is that the GDROM draws power from the 12v rail on the power supply. In NTSC units this is the only device that does. So when you remove it, the 12v rail is left floating. This causes the voltage regulator to get hotter than it would under load, making your Dreamcast more vulnerable to overheat. The easiest solution is to add a 300Ohm 1W resistor across 12v and Gnd. You can just jam the legs into the connector. This simulates a GDROM drive and returns the load to normal. However, the safest and most efficient solution is to desolder the voltage regulator. It’s not needed (except on PAL units), unless you ever intend to replace the GDROM drive."

Another person measured the voltage and without a load it crept up to over 14v meaning it was both overheating AND overdrawing. These people don't feel the need to film themselves doing that, so again, I don't know what "proof" I can get you.

I just googled it, found something that aligns with my own knowledge of how voltage regulation works. I also learned that the PAL consoles require it which is something I didn't know a minute ago.

>>8003435
post a link, anything that shows anything remotely near overheating to the point of failure

>being poor - the thread

>>8003663
Why do you think these kids construct an identity around this grimy old shit that doesn't even do 2D sprite games better than current releases?
