/vr/ - Retro Games

we have dozens of modern emulator threads every day, so i don't see why not. we could always use more shitty emulators to bicker about, something's gotta compete with zsnes

If the emulator was released before 2000 or on a pre-2000 hardware other than a IBM compatible, Power PC Mac or Dreamcast then it is retro in its own right.

>>943064
>something's gotta compete with zsnes

But, Zsnes IS a shitty emulator.

>2013
>ZSNES
>still has a shitty gui

>>943072

yeah. i meant compete with zsnes in the shitty emulator category.

>>943051
Yes, they do. They were around during the relevant years, and shaped the popular opinion of many games.

>>943072
Am I the only one who actually liked the gui? That being said, I certainly knew when to move on to something else when I realized there were better emulators out there.

>>943098
I have SOME nostalgia for it, but nowadays I'd just rather have a functional, normal-looking Windows interface.

>>943104
And just for shits

>needing a GUI to emulate SNES

what was nesticle's competition back in the day?

>>943119

nesary

>>943051
>Do old emulators also count as retro?

They're like double retro. Retro emulators for retro systems.

>>943119
rocknes, loopynes, later FCE

>>943104

I think the gui was pretty good, especially for its time. And it sure helped a lot of stupid kids.

Anyone ever actually used UltraHLE? I remember downloading it on my cousin's piece of shit 366MHz Celeron, and we couldn't run it, most likely because he didn't have a Voodoo card.

What was the first PlayStation emulator?

>>943160

ePSXe maybe?

>>943160
Bleem!

I'm not yelling, the explanation point is actually in the name.

>>943165
No, ePSXe was based on an older emulator called PSEmu Pro, as was PCSX.

Old emulators are not /vr/ because emulators are not games. We don't have Windows 95 threads so why would we have Zsnes threads?

I've got a CD from 97 with an old version of ColEm and 50 ROMs.

I was amazed I could play NES games on my shit-ass 486 DX/2 50mhz computer. I mean hell... that computer was a piece of shit.

>>943051
>that bloody hand

So much love.

>>943160
connectix virtual gamestation, I think...

>>943180

>>943156
I used to use it on my xbox, and it worked alright for the time.

>>943180

go tell someone who cars

Anyone ever play FFVI on ooooold versions of ZSNES?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqfPbEwS-7Y&feature=youtu.be

Yeah, it was pretty bad. And that was on version 0.800. I have an even worse video coming up, made with the very first release, 0.150. Your body will not be ready.

I didn't even realize the icon for this was a ballsack.

I had that shit on my parents desktop for months back in the day and didn't realize it until much later.

>>943098

Fuck no. ZSNES GUI is GOAT

The fact that you can use it with updated emus now is the best news.

>>943273
Well, they really have to fix the audio crackling on ZMZ, though.

>>943265
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynjERjWIOmY&feature=youtu.be

YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED IT

>>943272
I think back when I used Nesticle, I had a slightly older DOS version, so I never saw the icon. That's fucking hilarious, though.

>>943301
>that butchering of the main theme

Fuck yeah Nesticle

I got the luck of having this running under DOS with a hundred roms when I was a 10-11 years old kid with no internet through a friend of my brother.

Made me discover so many games, even Jap exclusives! I used to play with a fake SNES pad too, it was dreamlike.

I fondly remember playing Samurai Pizza Cats, that Bugs Bunny puzzle/platformer game and Zombie Nation

>>943301
That storm BGM when Wedge, Biggs and Tera stands at the cape is the same they used in Chrono Trigger.

Snes9X was always better than ZSNES

Does anyone know what the first NES emulator was? What about the first Atari 2600 emulator?

VSMC was the first SNES emulator
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7YXaaYdPGw

>>943265
>>943301
Made another video, this time featuring Mario 3 on Nesticle. The first version of Nesticle, that is.

It... isn't pretty.

http://youtu.be/wGkZf6n_VXM

>>943265
WHAAAAALE SONG

>>944949
>everything is really high pitched for some reason
why can't old emulators do audio right, ever?

>>945020
You realize that emulator was made when a Pentium II was considered high-end hardware, right?

>>945025
That, and audio is one of the hardest parts of a game to properly emulate even today.

Back then nobody cared that much about accuracy, it was mindblowing to be able to play Nintendo games on your computer AT ALL.

>>945047
It sounds absurd, but we didn't get truly accurate sound from SNES emulators until like, 2010 or so. Same with PS1, with Mednafen currently being the best at it.

>>945056
I believe it. The Egyptian music in Zombies Ate My Neighbors still sounds wrong to me in Snes9x.

I started emulating on my Celeron 366 around 2002. SNES emulators were still pretty shitty - I remember that "whale song" wind in FFVI, and DSP-1 (never mind SuperFX!) was still broken. I remember the day I was finally able to play Mario Kart and Pilotwings ◕‿‿◕

>>943301
Final Fantasy becomes Earthbound!

>>943118
I like convenience of a mouse

I emulated like a motherfucker back in the day.

Fuck

coolroms and freeroms still alive. Angelroms is dead though.

Gameboy Advance emulation is what I probably did the most. Something about GBA games has such a fantastic charm to it..

>>946935

>>943119

fwnes maybe

>>943156

I used Corn, it only worked with Mario 64 but boy it was fast.

It was fun back then, but obviously very imperfect experience.

I doubt flashcarts existed back then, so your only option was buying the original carts.

Good thing was the retro bubble hadn't started yet so you could still buy Ducktales for $1.

>>943301

that's gonna give the accuracy guys an aneurism

>>943098
I never had a problem with it. "Escape, enter, first few letters of rom name, enter" is pretty much engraved in my brain.

>>946964
Game copiers existed back then.

>1. You must own a copy of these games to download the ROM
>2. You must delete download ROMs within 24 hours of downloading them.

I'm glad rom sites today aren't nearly as shitty as when there were hundreds of them, most of them being ad-ridden.

>>946980
>VOTE 4 US LOOLOLOLOLOLOLLLOLLL
Fuck off I want my ROM.

>>946985
It was more like "Vote for this hentai site, this hentai site, and some other hentai site".

All of which were full of spyware.

>>946985

oh yeah, those top50/100 lists filled with hentai.

And then some sites forced you to vote 2 or 3 times to download

>>946992

And not good hentai, but shitty western drawings of Sailor Moon being raped by Vegeta and such.

I was an infant pre-fifth gen, so most of my first experiences with earlier games were on shitty emulators my brother downloaded for me to play. I sort of nostalgia over things like having to disable different layers to make Chrono Trigger or Harvest Moon playable.

>>946951

I remember its wheel-like menu

>>947018

Guy must've liked Secret of Mana a lot.

>>946980
These were supposed things they "had to write for legal reasons".

But much like the "a cop has to say he is a cop if he's asked", or "the perp has to be read his Miranda rights immediately after being arrested or he can be released", I bet it's just a bunch of legal urban myths.

The law doesn't have these retarded loopholes IRL (at least in the US)...

Video Games don't go after rom sites as voraciously as movies or current gen games, because research has shown that roms don't make an economic impact on the game companies.

Not to mention a lot of these companies are Japanese, which are culturally less litigious than Americans.

>>947032
>Video Games
I meant video game companies.

Also a lot of the roms are either for companies that no longer exist, or are trapped in legal limbo (Battletoads for example).

anyone remembers textnes? it had very low compatibility and no sound, more of a novelty stuff

>>947032

Actually Japanese companies do sue people within Japan for pirating shit. However, just like how Paramount can't stop Japanese TV shows from stealing music from their movies and putting it into their TV shows, they know their chances of success are low when it comes to suing overseas for copyright claims.

>>947041
Holy shit, I HAVE to make a video of this.

>>947032
I think it all basically comes down to the fact that we were like 12 or so at the time.

Kind of crazy thinking about how much of a wild west the internet was in the 90s and early 2000s. You could get away with practically anything there, so long as you didn't download Metallica songs from Napster.

>>943273

this is GOAT GUI

Anyone remember the name of the gameboy emulator that would change the border based on the game you were playing? I loved that one.

>>947089

Okay, I'll give you that. Mekaw has always made me feel comfy.

ZSNES is a close second.

>>947107

BGB does that for Super Game Boy games. It has the SGB borders.

I went to Zophar frequently to know about the latest emulators

>>947162
Funny thing about that site is that it's mostly dead, but they still bother updating their recommended emulators list for each system whenever better ones come out, which is more than I can say for the likes of CoolROM and Emulation Zone, which rank emulators in order of popular vote, so everyone keeps downloading the same old shit.

Ha ha, time for Genecyst!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo_MLmfpwzw

I have as much nostalgia for old ZSNES versions that made the water in Mega Man X appear as a solid, opaque color as I have for the genuine SNES system.

>>948403
At first, I was really surprised how well it emulated SEGA sample. Then I heard the music.

>>943265
>>944980

>mfw

>>943265 (You)
>>944980 (You)

lol

>>947162

Zophar used to be my shit bitd for emulator updates. Their chiptune downloads were pretty good until various other places started having more up-to-date files.

While were on the subject of emulation nostalgia, anyone remember these places?

emuasylum (RIP in piece)

>tfw emuasylum, vimm and other ROM sites became useless when they took the ESA's cock up their ass

>>949909
>Check out Vimm
>It still getting updates

I remember I had a ROM for Yoshi's Island back in the day. The opening was "Presented by "team name here." Then it continued to "burn in hell for pirating these fucking game. It deserves more. Burn in fucking hell."

But then the ROM went on and was normal. The opening was just creepy as fuck.

>>950870
And so the No-Intro movement began.

I'd say it was a WIP there.

Might make a video based on version xx.xx.

I remember not being able to play zsnes because my 66mhz family computer couldnt run it

>>949909
I remember when I used to hack roms.

I made this weird catman thing when I was 12, posted it on there and everyone thought I was retarded.

>>954587
Well, it's true, kids ARE retarded. It's through shame and ridicule from their peers that they become self-aware of this fact, and learn that they are, in fact, not hot shit.

>>954587
You made catman? Catman 1-4? the ones that were on badhacks?

>>956508
y-yes...

>>956546
That's awesome! I loved those hacks, and they inspired me to create some badhacks of my own in a sense. I'm sad there is no hack of Pokemon Blue like you promised...

>>943051
(gasping / huffing sounds)
hey guys, I got here as fast as I could ...

>>956546

>>949909
>http://vimm.net/
I used to get my ROMS from that site back in 2003 or 2004 when I was in high school. I actually discovered Front Mission and Front Mission: Gun Hazard because of them. That was around the time when I and my friends found out flash drives were somewhat affordable. I spent $30 on a 256MB flash drive and I used it for storing emulators and ROMS that I could run on the school's computers when the teachers weren't paying attention to us.

I still have that flash drive and it still has all those files on it.
The current flash drive I use is 32GB, and I still keep emulators and ROMS on it

>>947089
NO FUCKING WAY!

I used this emulator back when I was like 6 or 7 after my brother downloaded it for me! I couldn't remember what system it was emulating though since I was too young but you just made me nostalgia hard.

If you could help me out with finding out the name of a game which had 4 minigames in one that would be swell - one of the minigames was a racing game and the other was a sort of Tetris/Dr. Mario knock-off. The interface for selecting a minigame was like brickwork with 4 windows each with an image of the game

>>956690
Fucking Bleem. They hyped the shit out of that thing back in the day & it didn't deliver.

>>956690
Bleem is an example of how far emulators can go when money goes into it. Meanwhile we have N64 emulators that still suck shit years later

>>956792
also i say this because bleem was out while the PS1 was still a current gen console. I wish someone did an indiegogo or something for emulators

>>948447
>SEGA jingle: Decently emulated
>Music: High pitched buttfuckery

>>956806
Funnily enough, it's exactly what I thought Sonic would sound like as a DOS game.

>>956806
That's probably because the Sega Jingle is a straight waveform that could be easily fed straight to the soundcard, but the YM2612 FM Synth instructions had to be software emulated.

>be 12
>use dad's work computer to download roms
>download NESticle
>see the icon and panic to uninstall it.

>>956821
Haha, I seem to remember the version right before the X.XX version didn't have that icon.

>>956821
>dad asks me what it is
>tell him it's to play games and that "the creator made the icon like this as a joke, it's only a thing to play games with"
>dad goes "oh"
>nothing more

I had my own folder of shit too and my dad didn't care or know where it was. Fuck sharing though

>>956724

If the game is like Dr. Mario so it must be Robotnik Mean Bean Machine. I'll try do find out which gamepack is that.

>>956724
Was it one of the mega games carts? one of those had columns on it.

>>956690

Oh lord, I remember having Bleem! cast for my Dreamcast

And the look on my friends faces when my Dreamcast played Metal Gear Solid

Minds were blown all round, wish I'd never sold it. T

>>956821
What was the icon?

>>957198
See >>956842

>>957217
...Is that seriously that questionable? I initially thought that was like, a bag or something.

Like I know what it is now, but would the average parent really notice it?

>>957225
Oh, it's a BAG alright.

>>943118
>>943130
If you start ZSNES from command line, does it let you change settings while it's running or do you have to quit and restart with new arguments?

>>956690
Aaaah, I know what to make a video of next.

>>956610
lol yeah,

It was crazy seeing it reviewed years later.
http://badderhacksnet.ipage.com/badderhacks/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:catman-series-review&catid=10:rom-hacks&Itemid=2

I was only 12 at the time, it's funny how autistic it sounded.

I was hacking pokemon blue to make catman 5 and got a lot of things done but I remember I couldn't find where the pictures of the pokemon were stored in the rom, which was a problem. My hard drive crashed around that time(I think because I was fucking with shit) and we got a new computer.

I remember sharing these hacks I made with people in my class in grade 7 and they thought it was pretty awesome.

lol I pissed so many people off on zophar forums with those hacks.

Glad you liked them.

>>944949
As someone who was there... NESticle was fucking HUGE. Before that we had iNES or Pasofami. One was shit crippleware that barely supported Mario 2... And the other one would randomly deltree c:\windows.

Suddenly, NESticle appears, it can run hundreds of games where every previous emulator could run a dozen at best.

We didn't care it was so inaccurate. All anyone cared about was "HOLY SHIT THIS ACTUALLY RUNS GAMES! OH look, A pattern table editor! Let's put penises on Mario!"

It was our first step out of the dark ages of Emulation. And we used it to create shit like "Headless naked mario vs. the dick nazis"

Well done.

>>958576
that's hilarious and awesome.

>>956690
Oh what? Yeah I pirated a beta of you last week man. Try and keep up. 56k is blazing-fast!

>lol I pissed so many people off on zophar forums with those hacks
Zophar and Romhacking.net both have this stick up their ass about dirty/inane rom hacks. Not counting the fact that Headless Naked Mario and that other Monster Party hack ended up getting added to Romhacking.net recently, they'll usually reject anything without even playing it because they're elitist faggots.

>>959559
> they'll usually reject anything without even playing it because they're elitist faggots.

lol you have no idea, in the forum about the latest news they rejected two Castlevania color hacks for being "one byte change" hacks even though it's more than that
http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,16808.html

also good luck seeking for help on those forums if you're making a hack.

>>959048
Personally I enjoyed the Metroid hack the most. I spent a lot of time glitching around just to see how much of the game you edited beyond that short area.

How much time did you spend on these hacks?

>>959584
"if you need to ask for help, you're not ready to rom hack" -Romhacking.net forum poster

It's ridiculous.

I'll never understand how anyone could get off to Simpsons porn.

I always thought it was as severed dick and balls. Hence the name Nesticle.

Man I was an idiot.

>see thread
>people talking about vimms lair; nostalgia
>check vimm.net
Holy shit, its still up.
I doubt any of the ROMs are Goodsets or No-Intro ROMs.

Still, this site has a lot of personality. But then again, so does Emuparadise, but this was much simpler.

>>959689

Oddly enough I never went to vimm's lair for the roms, but for the instruction manuals.

I love me some old school instruction manuals.

>>958576
That gets thrown around a lot here. People clearly do not know what autism is. Likely a trend started by new fags newfagging.

>>943072
Zsnes has snowflakes. That alone makes it the best emulator ever.

>>943265
Being inaccurate is one thing. Having your game sound like it got possessed by dead whales is something entirely different.

>>943072
I'm sorry what?
There's nothing wrong with ZSNES's UI.

>>960662
It doesn't need a fancy graphical UI. Look at Gens, it runs like any fucking basic program and doesn't try to look fancy.

>>960685
Well, to be fair, since it was originally written for DOS, they had to design a UI anyway, so I guess they decided to be fancy, and they decided to stick with it upon porting it to Windows.

>>946985
So many shitty hentai sites.

>>949986
One of my friends who just recently got into emulation uses that site for some reason.

>>960649
first time seeing that i thought i goofed with something
shit's the best part of the emulator

>ZSNES UI

for some reason I always thought it made playing games on it feel more real. I guess it's a placebo, but

Going full screen and everything distracts me from the rest of my computer.

>Google "X rom"
>click on whatever

I used to use a specific site but now I don't care anymore
it's not even hard to find PS1 games anymore even

>>960761
Once I got an account at UG I got so used to it I had no clue what to do after it shut down. It felt like the late 90s-early 2000s again when it came to getting roms.

>>953424
Find a version from 1999 and do Mega Man 1.

My earliest emulation memories were from the summer of 1999 and being hyped that I could play MM, but naturally, I don't recall the sound being off because of nostalgia... earplugs.

>>960817
At first I just wanted to just do one-off videos for each old emulator, but I'm thinking I'm going to make it a series now. Last night I put on Mega Man X on ZSNES 0.150, and good GOD was the sound horrendous there. I'll try to put that up later.

>>943265

>>954579

I remember getting to play a few games at decent speed on my 100mhz 486 with nlksnes, it had no sound and the compatibility wasn't that good. To fire up zsnes properly I think you needed a Pentium MMX

>>958597

Nesticle sure paved the way for the hack scene. An article by Jomb on the subject:

http://badderhacksnet.ipage.com/badderhacks/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=173:the-history-of-rom-hacking-according-to-jomb&catid=12:jomb&Itemid=7

on a side note, the article was also posted on the rhdn forum and was met with their usual mix of elitism and butthurt.

>>947107
The old Noca$h did that, if I remember correctly. At least it did when you played pokémon red/blue/yellow.

Anyone remember nes.cx?

>>961407
Didn't it also have a ballsack as its icon? Seriously, who does that?

"I have made an emulator that can allow people to enjoy the games from when the era of gaming properly began. Let's make the graphic a hairy low-hanging ballsack."

>>959596
>How much time did you spend on these hacks?
I was learning how to hack roms for about 4 months before that, I think the roms took me a month and I was working pretty hard on them.

All my old posts are zophar have been deleted unfortunately, that would have been funny to see again.

>>959612

OH SHIT NIGGER

Preliminary bump. Gonna upload a video of Mega Man X running on old ZSNES soon.

>>964742

Looking forward to it, can't wait

seriously, today's generation should be more grateful they can even play their roms. Surely you guys have seen all the unwarranted whining and complaining about something people do in their spare time.

>>964793
Oh yeah, entitlement is a big issue among emulation communities. I hate that attitude as well.

Anyway, this video starts off kinda slow, but trust me, it has a big payoff.

Alright, here we go.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHoeQT4b0Ls

And yeah, I am just as confused about the ending as you will no doubt be.

>>964836
Just saw your video on my subscriptions.

I find it fucking hilarious how when there's a sound effect the notes of the music change completely.

It's like when someone in a big band of a bunch of people is fucking up but you can't tell who it is.

Since I'm feeling prolific, here's another one, this time featuring Zelda II. Broken does not begin to cover it.

http://youtu.be/N-grxQ2y71o

Super Mario World will follow shortly.

>>965169
Oh, and this is the trip I've decided to use whenever I upload a new video, by the way.

>>965172
do Earthworm Jim 2 on older versions of ZSNES, that shit's hilarious

>>965183
Well, seeing as how IIRC EJ2's sound doesn't work even on the latest ZSNES...

>>965169
What the fuck

>>964836
MY SIDES

>>960749
I know exactly what you mean. That GUI was the main reason I preferred ZSNES over the actual good emulators for so many years.

>>964836

>>965892
Megaman X2 wasn't even playable in ANY emulator until like 2003.

>>966326
My ears are bleeding and I have an incredible headache, but that was enjoyable.

At the request of an anon on /vg/, the next video will probably be Castlevania-related. After that, I am open to suggestions, though I am thinking of testing some Gameboy emulators to see if any of them have hilarious results.

>>966419
Oh, but keep in mind, due to how old and incomplete these emulators are, compatibility is quite lacking, so some games are impossible to test unless I go up to more recent versions, which reduces the hilarity. Off the bat, I cannot test SNES games with special chips like Star Fox, Super Mario Kart, SMRPG, etc. Nesticle also has incompatibilities with certain mappers, so a few games like Battletoads and Punchout don't run, at least on version 0.20. Version x.xx might run them, but that one is boring and relatively free of glitches, so meh.

>>966430
Lastly, some games just don't emulate that badly, all things considered. I've been testing several games, and outside of bad sound accuracy, there isn't too much wrong with them, and even the sound doesn't sound so bad it's funny. I will only go through with a video if the glitching is bad enough OR the music and sound is terribly, terribly wrong, preferably both.

oh my god

also, wasn't BLEEM a thing?

I've been a bitter macfag all my life and used SNES9x since 1.39b. I remember using iNES on an old OS9-G3. Good times.
I also think there was a N64 emu called Project Reality or something. It was shit, you had to manually set the microcodes and all.

>>966475
>wasn't BLEEM a thing?
No, it was not "a thing".

>>945072
>http://youtu.be/wGkZf6n_VXM
It is true. GBA also took forever and to my knowledge-do correct me if I'm wrong–we still do not have 100%-accurate Genesis sound emulation.

>>949909

holy fucking shit, that's still around?
I mean, I'm an active at acmlm.kafuka.org but that nostalgia'd up my ass. It's been over ten years.
to my knowledge, acmlm's still alive and kicking, moreover at tasvideos.org though

>>950870
I remember that same thing. One of the guys was named jesus. And music by Maktone! That's how I found him, been listening ever since.
I can't find a no-intro clean dump of Wario Land 4 to this day. Glad >>950876 happened though.

>>964836
I'm seriously laughing so hard because of how awkward the music is -- it's like this game is its first highschool band recital and the sheet music was given in the wrong key and the clarinetist forgot to practice.

I don't think that's Chill Penguin's stage so much as it is a videogame version of Tartarus. I couldn't even.

>>966326
>that jump sound

>>966419
Try something related to pokemon, that will probably work.

>>966326

Mega Man 6 on NESticle

>>966858
I tested 2 and 3 last night. They just sounded off, but not terribly so, and I saw no glitching or whatever. I guess I'll give it a try, but I'm not expecting much.

I remember when Castlevania III was a gold standard for NES emulators. If you didn't get wild graphical glitches playing Castlevania III on your emulator, you were in good shape.

>>966896
Well then, I have a target for later in that case.

>>966896
It still pretty much is. MMC5 is one of the harder chips to emulate beside getting MMC3 looking perfect. Such as Kirby's Adventure's player status bar.

>>966907
Oh god, I just tried it on the oldest release of Nesticle (that it would even open in).
I can't believe it was that much worse than in the first version I ever tried.

>>966952
Kirby's Adventure is nigh unplayable on the version of Nesticle I'm using. I pondered making a video about it, but it's really headache inducing and frustrating to trudge through, and it doesn't even look or sound funny like Zelda II does. Just a big garbled mess that sounds more high pitched.

>>966958
Which one would that be? It doesn't work on 0.20, but it does on x.xx, where it's already broken to shit.

>>966992
4.10.
God help you.

>>966997
Oh wait, sorry it's 0.32. I was reading the wrong thing in the info. Silly me.

>>966973
For other games that will give you headaches, just match up the mapper in the last column. MMC3 and MMC5 games should be the worst.

http://tuxnes.sourceforge.net/nesmapper.txt

>>966326
Please do Axelay.

I want to see the emulator flipping out over all the effects it uses.

Failing that, try R-Type 3.

>>960693
So, why'd the keep the DOS resolution for all the UI elements?

>>967020
I actually was thinking of trying Axelay.

Anyway, I'm gonna try to fulfill the request to do Castlevania Bloodlines, then I'll probably do either Castlevania 3, or one of the DKCs.

Neoragex: this was mindblowing stuff when it came out, and it's performance (due to being coded in ASM) allowed the emulation of Neo Geo games on amazingly low spec PCs.

>>965169
I remember a NES emulator for PSone that had the same issues with Zelda 2, but I dont remember the name of the emulator right now

>>967119
I remember this. It blew my mind that I could play all of these awesome games on my computer.

>>967197
PnesX is the emulator, did anyone ever tried it?

>>967197
Which begs the question: would said emulator run in a PS1 emulator?

>>966419
F-Zero or Battlecars on Zsnes. chose one.
If it can handle it

>>944949
Is it wrong that I kind of enjoy the high-pitched music? It's like imagining a rose-tinted revisiting or something, like a grand old remix with the music and everything.

>>967343
Run Zelda 2 through that while emulating it with the worst PSX emulator possible.

>>967343
Im trying to find my copy of this. I remember buying it long ago, it also came with a Master System emulator which had terrible sound emulation

>>967343
Emuception! That would be a very interesting thing to try but the nes emulator will probably run like shit. Each new layer will make things more and more unstable. For bonus points, use the whole shebang in a virtual machine.

>>967596
Virtual Machine running Linux running Wine running DOSBox running ZSNES

It's weird, maybe I only ever downloaded from No-Intro places, but I have only ever seen intros on a few GBA roms before, and one was on Mother 3. I've never seen one on an NES, SNES, Genesis, or GB rom.

>>967596
Well, I'm running the emulators I'm using for my videos through DOSBox.

That said, now I have to download DOSBox on my Windows 98 installation, which is already running on DOSBox.

>>948403
Good god that music sounds like a broken carnival ride.

>>967343

There's not reason it shouldn't run in an accurate emulator,

>>947041
Motherfucker what key is Select?
I'm trying to play Zelda on this shit.

>>967854
Nevermind, Found it.
It's Tab of all things

Castlevania: Bloodlines is now up.

http://youtu.be/Xr8ZpnL16Ak

Just a fair warning, I suck horribly. Music is off, but pretty good, all things considered.

>>967867
LET'S GO MOTHERFUCKER

>>967654
Translated Mother 3 for clarification. I don't often see these intro roms, maybe I just didn't download them often enough back in the day.

>>968039
You can still find those lovely intros if you pay attention to the filenames. [HI] or [T1] usually means that there is one attached.

>>961439

DOS apps didn't have icons, mang.

>>968503
I don't think he was insinuating it was a DOS app, and it most certainly did have a ballsack icon for version X.XX. Also, it was most certainly possible for a DOS app to have an icon with a shortcut in the Start menu and other places if it had a decent directory structure or installer that put everything in its place.

>>968503
>DOS apps didn't have icons, mang.

He's probably talking about later versions of the emulator then.

No, I definitely remember the nutsack

>>961383
I remember SNEmul would allow you to rip music directly to a tracked (.mod/.s3m/.it) file.

>>943051

what's the name of that emulator?

>>968931
NESticle

>>968506
The DOS version of Nesticle did come with an .ico file, and the Windows version had the icon on the actual exe.

DZ24 please make a video of DKC, there's some truly horrible sound emulation going on there in ZSNES 0.150. Also make sure you get some of world 2 in there if you make the video, because the lighting effects are fucked up, meaning the areas that are supposed to be lit up are completely dark instead. Made Stop'n'Go Station a hell to play when you can't see platforms.

>>968968
I'd love to hear what the FF6 soundtrack sounds like in that version of ZSNES.

>>969023
Oh shit he already did it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynjERjWIOmY

>>966475
CVGS was fucking great for its day. It wasn't perfect, but it valued compatibility where Bleem focused on primitive enhancements. And it made functional PS emulation the exclusive domain of Mac OS for a short while.

Castlevania III is up.

Bumping. Donkey Kong Country is in the pipeline, if anyone was waiting for it.

>>970738

>>969824
Why does it always seem to exclusively fuck up the 50% duty cycle?

It's up.

http://youtu.be/94JcCOd2Fno

I really was hoping to show good gameplay for a change. It wasn't meant to be, unfortunately.

>>970932
Oh lord that intro.

Mike Tyson's Punchout will be next up.

I'd like to tackle a Genesis game next, but Sanic 2 doesn't have sound on the first version, and later versions have good sound emulation, so it's kinda meh. Gunstar Heroes also doesn't have anything specially bad about it. Anything else I should try?

>>971684
Rocket knight 1 or 2
or Rolo to the Rescue

>>971691
I'll give those a try.

After that, I might see about a Game Boy video.

>>971697
Oh If you do that then try for a Kirby game on GB or even R-Type DX
But I'd much rather see some Kirby

>>971684
Ranger X and then play it on a good emulator afterwards because it's a damn fine game.

>>970932
It hurts...

>>948403
To be fair this is at least better than the Whale Song from Zsnes

This program made me happy in my pee-pee place. Can't tell you how much Metal Slug and Waku Waku 7 my friends and I played back in high school.

http://youtu.be/JsTgE2g19FY

Was ready hours ago, but I went to bed.

>>971712
I'll check it out.

>>971712
Man, this is a damn fine game. Not sure I may do this one for the video, but I had to check it out on a good emulator, because it's really cool, and I can't believe I had missed this one.

On the other hand, I just tested Alien Soldier, and I may actually do that one instead. It has a few glitches and the music sounds like ass, which is pretty good for my purposes.

>>972937
Glad you enjoyed it. The game came out near the end of the Genesis' life span and had like no marketing so many people missed out on it.

>>956794
>>956792
did you ever actually use Bleem?
it actually didn't emulate many games very well

>>973028
Ditka

>>973046
It was released while the PS1 was still going. Compare it with NESticle, released over a decade after the NES came out.

>>973094
CVGS was way more compatible and beat Bleem to retail too.

>>973102
I was not aware that existed. Even more impressive, and it proves the guy's point further.

I recently IPS Patched a copy of the Slayers game on SNES once I learned the English translation was completed (I had been waiting for that for years and eventually forgot about it.)

That was last year, I think.

Emulator question-
What is the best ps1 emulator with rumble support?
I'm currently using "PCSX-R" and I noticed it does have rumble support. I'm currently using a xbox 360 controller.

>>973390
>does
* does not

>>973390
Have you tried other input plugins? Lilypad is the recommended one, though I've heard Pokopom is geared specifically toward 360 controllers.

>>973425
thanks

>>973425
>Pokopom
I misread that as Pokeporn for a moment

Just thought I'd give an update. The next video will be Gunstar Heroes after all. After playing a bit longer, I found some interesting glitches I'd like to show. A certain Game Boy game will come after. Expect both tomorrow.

http://youtu.be/NGIZUKDTJS0

Gunstar Heroes is done. The next game will be Link's Awakening on Game Boy. Look forward to it!

Aaaaaand here's Link's Awakening.

Not 100% sure what the next one will be just yet, although I am heavily considering tackling a certain other famous SNES RPG.
