[Anonymous No.5017003]

>>5016965
It is functionally identical to beating a game on original hardware as long as you aren't savescumming/using turbo/etc. Are you really such an autist that you refuse to accept this as beating the game? How about this, from now on if you weren't playing on a CRT while cross-legged on the floor, you didn't really beat the game.

I'm sure save states helped you on that one, I recommend playing on the hard difficulty though for the full experience. Wait, you won't get the full experience with your set up so it doesn't really marter.

Anon its okay you can admit it. We all have experimented with emulators. I remember back when I was in college there was a foreign exchange student. His name was Hans... or was it Cristoph. It doesn't matter, one day he said to me "Anon I wanna have some fun" being the foolish young man that I was I agreed not realising that he was actually just trying to get me to install ZSNES on my laptop. I was young and foolish so I agreed next thing you know I am 6 levels deep in Mario 2: The Lost Levels. I guess what I am trying to say anon is that its okay to admit that you have never beaten a game on real hardware and that you need a game genie code to enjoy yourself.

Are you aware that you can play a game on an emulator in the same fashion as you would play it on the original platform? For example, I just recently cleared the first Castlevania on NES in an emulator without a single game over, which I had done when I still owned my NES about a decade ago.

This elitism is just stupid. If you don't want to encourage people's shitty play behaviors, try actually addressing said behaviors, rather than just shitting on something tertiary to the matter.

Yeah, save states will do that for you.

[Anonymous No.5017129]

>>5017123

Explain.

I didn't use any save states. When I hit a game over, I restarted the game, like pressing reset on the NES.

It can't hurt your performance since you'll still be suffering from input lag

[Anonymous No.5017206]

>>5017197
Windowed is at a higher resolution than originally intended already. It also really doesn't matter for NES games, I could understand your complaint here if I was playing something that requires a proper resolution scaling, like an arcade bullet hell. A slight visual variation for a NES game doesn't prevent me from playing it properly. I also owned most consoles from 3rd gen and onward at some point, so I'm aware that it looks different.

Whatever, man. What is way more important is not using save states, because those genuinely fuck up people's ability to play games. I prefer to spend my money on new games than re-buying old hardware.

That implies I currently own it. Why would I buy something I already own, that makes no sense.

[Anonymous No.5017232]

For me it would be re-buying because I previously owned the hardware and have since sold them / given them away to family. My point is allocating my recreational funds towards new releases is more important.

[Anonymous No.5017254]

I'm not concerned with how you enjoy yourself. I just disagreed that a person can't legitimately beat a game using an emulator. As long as they have the original platform's controller or a controller that does not give them an extra advantage and they play with the same rules as what the game ran with on the original platform, I consider that legitimately beating a game. The visual variation from using an LCD vs. a CRT is only superficially involved in that.

[Anonymous No.5017260]

>>5017254
>I just disagreed that a person can't legitimately beat a game using an emulator.
Because you're biased and not looking at it objectively.
>>5017254
>As long as they have the original platform's controller or a controller
Now you're setting your own rules to discredit other people who use emulators.

[Anonymous No.5017262]

>>5017254
Either this the most autistic thing I've ever read or I was just very successfully baited. What about people at the time using an NES advantage? Did they beat Dragon Warrior or does your arbitrary philosophical definition of beating a game prevent it from being legitimate? If I were to play a PlayStation 4 game on a CRT, would that count? I'm not playing as the developers intended.

[Anonymous No.5017271]

>>5017260
>Now you're setting your own rules to discredit other people who use emulators.
True. But the input device we use has a more significant impact on how we play a game than a slight visual variation, which is why I consider that a rule.

>>5017262
I don't understand what you're getting at. A PS4 game can't be played on a CRT because the resolution isn't high enough. Resolution has more than just a visual function in games, it directly affects your ability to interact with them.

Just beat both Streets of Rage 1 and 2 on normal with a buddy of mine. Now I know there are some prevailing opinions here on the board concerning both games, but I feel quite chuffed about it nonetheless on account of he ain't played any kind of "retro" game since they were all new, and I fucking suck.
