/vr/ - Retro Games

>>934578
Wow OP, mind=blown. Doing this right now.

Because i want to play World Driver Championship on the N64.

Because I could buy a Wii for £20 that can output RGB over SCART.

because I dont want to

>But I already have that OP.

Why? I have an Ouya for that.

>>934672
get out now.

Because in /vr/ NO EMULATING ALLOWED
IT'S LIKE PUTTING A PICTURE OF A CAR ON A BIKE AND MAKING VROOM VROOM NOISES WHILE YOU RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE IT AROUND!
CHOO CHOO GET ON THE DICK TRAIN BECAUSE EMULATION IS FOR THE POOR

>>934672

No.

>>934680

No.

>>934687

You made me spit out coffee.

>>934687
Actually, it's more like putting a bike on the roof of your car and pretending to riiiiiiiiiide it around.

I have always wanted to make a dedi PC for roms, with this in mind

Then I saw this and decided nothing I do could ever be this good

>>934687
Actually it's more like putting a picture of a bike on a car, and ringing a bike horn while you drive it.

If anything, it's like going on a retro vidya board and posting about cars and bikes.

>>934578
My computer is hooked up to a CRT, a CRT monitor. I could just get a VGA out to an actual CRT TV that's four feet away, but I prefer not.
Also I prefer finding roms by typing the name, far far far quicker. I'd have to get a multi-emulator front end for that anyway. Plus it'd be stupid to unplug my mouse and keyboard from my only currently operating computer.
About the only thing I'd bother with is outputting to the TV and keeping everything else the same. But why bother?

>>934578
>>937204
How exactly would one go about getting a VGA out to a CRT TV?

>>937229
If the CRT TV has an RGB SCART input, it's easy (just a passthrough cable, and then set the right video mode). If your TV only has composite/component/s-video, you need some kind of encoder.

Because most of /vr/ is Nintenbabbies who think computers run on magic.

>>937443

Real computers run GNU/Linux.

The Genesis runs on magic.

>>934578
because I have a Wii that doesn't make me sacrifice a full blown PC and my PVM supports component quite nicely

>>937813

The Genesis was MADE of magic. Sega actually hired warlocks to endow each system on the assembly line with a spell of "awesome."

>>937949
most evident in the japanese port of Gauntlet, don't even try to convince me that the music in that game isn't produced by dark magic because I will never believe you
yeah I know it's because they didn't use the GEMS driver, but seriously that soundtrack is mindblowing

>why don't you do as i say. why aren't you doing what i'm doing?

this is basically what you said. now listen to how stupid you sound to us.

>>937949
captain oogi was at it again

I have a CRT but the colors are screwed up, like some kind of colored haze.

Why would I go through the trouble of unplugging my mouse and keyboard?

why don't you just put emulators on your computer and run a program that lets you select roms

>>934691
>he bought an ouya

>>934680
>>939271

The OUYA is a little console that does exactly what it was said it could. A little game console based on Android.
It's not the console's fault that backers apparently can't read...

>CRT

Autism.

>wii
>emulation
>superior to PC

Why can't you assholes not understand that collecting is a hobby and leave us the fuck alone?

>>939524
No one is saying you can't collect. Just saying why play your collection instead of keeping them as pristine as possible? If you emulate, you can still enjoy the games, while maintaining the value of your collection.

>>939541
Collecting games and not playing them is fucking retarded.

>>939549
Don't argue with him. Young America has zero value for anything. Cars, games, their parents...none of it means anything. You're just wasting your time.

Great troll topic, OP

>>939549
>>939567
I buy games cheap, and inflate the resale price just to spite you assholes.

>>939549
wait, people buy games and don't play them? i have a massive backlog but i play my games dammit.

picture sorta related: tg16 game i got in the mail today, plays sorta like gauntlet with boss fights and villages. the cartridges are really neat due to their small size.

>>939567
ok grandpa

>>939581
>wait, people buy games and don't play them?
I said the exact opposite in my post.

>>939516
Superior, no. Extremely accurate, yes and much less expensive and simpler to hook to a crt. As this guy said -

>>937872
Wii + RetroArch + Component + PVM = Awesome for ~$100-$200

>>939598
quoted the wrong person.

>>939608
>Wii + PVM
>$100-$200

>>939627
Well, I only paid $20 for my Wii because it wouldn't read discs and my PVM was free but not everyone is as smooth as I am.

>>934578
i do

Got an old Dell Inspiron 6000 for free for helping my buddy move a couch. It has an S-Video output on the side so I run it to the Triniton with a 3.5mm-to-RCA converter plugged into the headphone jack for audio. The Intel Pentium M and 1Gb are more than enough for PSX and earlier emulation. I never open the lid. It just stays on the side and I wake it with a mouse or a keyboard or a joystick. Already had usb adapters for snes, nes and playstation. Use the joystick for mame. Works out good.

>not just buying a CRT monitor at a thrift shop for next to nothing

>>939773
There's nothing wrong with that either as long as you use some discrimination.

>>939541
You open your mouth and all I hear is lunar speak

>>934724
That is 10 minutes of self-fellating fanboy bullshit I really can't stand to endure.

Just show me the damn pictures of your interesting project, mediaface.
