So, I ask, what is the best, most cost effective way to connect my PS2 to this TV via Component input? I have the retrovision cables so I'm obviously autistic about video quality, but I would also not have to spend $300+ on something that I am only going to use for PS2 Games (and maybe Sega Saturn but I got a small crt for that so it isn't a priority).
Are there any sub $100 options for just Component or are all those options cheap crap. Low latency desired
for all your games
for the rest of Life
what controller would it be?
If I see that fucking waterfall one more time...
The lack of an item box and having to command a second character makes the game more busy, which after playing REmake on autopilot for years, is a nice change of pace, and it's sort of why I suspect people who only ever play Jill in RE1 with her 8 inventory slots instead of suffering as Chris with his 6.
Really, my only problem was how difficult some of the puzzles were, which only were difficult because I'm trying to rush the game and not spending 10 hours on finding a single solution. (For example the animal puzzle I'm sure I could have figured out if I gave it a good crack)

People give Silent Hill 4 alot of shit, but 3 isnt too far behind
I have a Poco M4 Pro and I use Retroarch with a Bluetooth controller (one of those cheap ipega controllers) and it works fine outside of N64 emulation giving me stuttering, heard I'm better off using mupen64fz instead.

It's just way too hard... but I won't give up.
preferably from the early to late 00s
I tried 3 before and thought the IP just wasn't for me. It was a bit too slow with more filler rooms, combat had that Hulk smash gimmick and it for some reason had way fewer unique ghosts than the first game seems to have? Probably also didn't help that I played RE Village right before
I have the chance to grab a 60' Sony one for free today, but I wanna know if I should even bother.

>all memory of this game has been airbrushed from history and HAL pretends it never happened
It's bad enough that the genre is dead.
Should I try and buy a new CD drive (probably £45-60) and replace it? Obviously this should restore the functionality but IDK how hard it is to install and how long it would last for (I assume it would have been lifted from another Dreamcast so has already been used, possibly for a long time)?
Should I try buying a GDEMU (would have to be one of those £30 clones off Aliexpress, I can't find an original one anywhere and I can't afford a MODE or that Russian USB-loader thing DESU) and try and run an SD card off it? I was hoping other anons could tell me how reliable/dependable these are, and how difficult they are to install. I mean at least this would let me keep my DC but that assumes these knockoff GDEMUs aren't janky chinkshit
Finally I could probably just demand to return the DC and insist on a refund, given that I bought on ebay with Paypal I think I could probably do that one way or the other (it lasted literally four uses over a fortnight before packing in entirely) but of course there's no guarantee I'd be able to find another more cheaply (or that it would be more reliable)
Anyone got any advice here? DESU I enjoyed the games I got to work on it and hope to be able to play it again but I feel pretty put out paying full price for a console that broke on me almost immediately... I don't really know anything about the DC that isn't on the consolemods wiki so I was hoping the oldfags of the board could show this lurker their wisdom. Would appreciate any help anons

>Was the Saturn originally intended to be a 2D console? Or a 3D one?
>Sato: To be honest, in the beginning, I wasn’t thinking of 3D capabilities for the Saturn at all. This was partially my fault, but additionally, the game developers at Sega at the time had basically no knowledge of 3D game development. They had all been raised in the environment of 2D sprites and backgrounds, and the only developers who had any real experience with 3D were Yu Suzuki and AM2 with the Virtua series. >Actually, all of the other developers wanted to continue developing using the same system they were used to. If you looked at every single Sega employee within the home console division, there were practically no programmers or designers who had any knowledge of polygon technology.
>I had taken a look at Sega’s development teams at the time and concluded, “It’s going to be impossible for them to do 3D games.”
>I concluded that there was no way Sega’s development assets would be able to do 3D.
>However, the PlayStation completely embraced polygons.
>When we found out about that, we realized we were in trouble.
>Thankfully, the (Saturn) SH-2s could be linked in a cascade connection. A large amount of geometry calculations are required to do polygon graphics, and a single Saturn SH-2 was completely insufficient.
>With all the CPUs in the Saturn, only a tiny fraction of developers at Sega were able to make sense of them all and actually put them to use. For third parties… well, there was no way.
>I’m not sure if you call it a memory, but a regret I have is not going with one of our options to use the arcade system Model 1 as the base for the Saturn.
>We could have gone with 3D polygons with that kind of force.

>considered bad by the general public because some faggot youtuber made a video shitting on it
which are some other cases?
the music is so good, the characters are very distinct, the story is literal insanity blowing my mind watching the northern crater fuckery go down, tifa and cloud exploring cloud's mind in this abstract as shit segment
never something I would have expected from an rpg from the 90s
and the gameplay is this great tried and true lego playset snapping orbs from one character to the next messing around constantly experimenting
so much side content too with meaningful rewards
this shit? GOOD
protagonist was in a damn wheelchair and still captivated me more than most other game characters
Is there any way to fix this?

When it comes to N64 flashcarts however I only ever hear people talk about the Everdrive, it even fixes the reset to save/only writing the save to SD on next boot nonsense that all N64 Everdrives do.
What was it specifically about Diablo 2 that even when D3 was out it still was selling well while not a single other Diablo clone even came close.
Even the popular ones like Dungeon Siege and Titan Quest didn't have that staying power.
At first, it was just minor glitches—textures failing to load, walls clipping, or odd camera angles. But soon, things got weird. I'd enter a room, and everything seemed fine, but the moment I turned around, the walls would change. Passages I had just walked through vanished, replaced by solid walls or entirely new hallways. Doors that should have led back to other areas now opened into dark, cavernous spaces that I didn't recognize.
The monsters were another problem. Sometimes they behaved as expected, but other times, they seemed almost sentient. Shamblers walked through walls as if they were air, and sometimes they would freeze in place. On a few occasions, I faced invisible enemies.
I tried everything to understand the problem. I restarted the map, reloaded the game, even rebuilt the entire level from scratch. But each time, the same glitches reappeared, and each time, they seemed to get worse.
One night, in a desperate attempt to understand what was happening, I activated cheat codes and turned on "noclip," allowing me to move through walls and explore the map without restrictions. I hoped this would reveal the source of the problem—perhaps a broken trigger or a misplaced entity. But it only made things stranger.
As I drifted through walls, the map shifted around me. Rooms rearranged themselves, and corridors twisted and turned as if the map had a will of its own. I tried to reach the silver key, but it kept moving, always just out of reach. And when I tried to backtrack, the walls had closed in behind me, trapping me in a labyrinth of constantly changing geometry.
It's not a creepypasta—it's a sort of strange buggy map that reacts in a way I've never seen before.

It doesn't contain any viruses; it's just a strange map.
Can anyone understand the problem?
Kinda weird it has more of them than the NDS does.
Dunno how many played Lode Runner 3D but I have been playing it and its fun even if hard as shit, would recommend if anyone wants to play a lesser known N64 game.
Also been using Neon64 to play some NES games.

Anyone have some others to recommend?
When basic-bitch laptops couldn't run anything 3d to save it's damn life.
So back then you emulated if you wanted to play games.
You got a shit-ass Logitech controller without Xinput.
But you emulated the shit out of games.
And now I've run out.
It completely floors me this is a concept that zoomies just don't fucking grasp.
>GeForce 256 DDR
>512MB SDR RAM

In terms of theoretical specs(eg. no OS overhead, games are optimised for the hardware) how good would this setup be compared to Dreamcast/PS2/Gamecube/Xbox?
I was surprised to see Rose come into the game with jiggle effects. She looks nice, just didn't expect this game to do that.
But I was even more surprised to go to the fortune teller hag. Granted, there are NPC's who tell you not to have your fortune read, but I did it anyways. Was not expecting her to jump on Toans head with his head being wrapped in her skirt and rub her crotch all over Toans face whilst screamin "Pumpkin pantie fortune telling".

Just got a mega everdrive pro and already have snatcher and popful mail loaded.
Sorry weebs, he was right. We didn't need any more shovelware like this.
This discussion is finally over.
![PSM Wipeout[sound=files.catbox.moe%2Fbi96f2.mp3]](https://i.4cdn.org/vr/1714085473487923s.jpg)
did the devs give them away on messageboards or blogs in the form of hints or ARG puzzles?
did people bruteforce the 10+ steps needed to enter it?
did people decompile the game code to figure it out?
this level doesn't even have 20 levels, while another entries had 50 to 90 of these and even alternate exits and endings. so, I think wario land 4 is not perfect and very small, but it know how to make it few tricks real good.
the races after the frog switches, the bizarre-looking boss characters, the endings. those levels seemed like nothing, but you could take up to 15 minutes or more to find every secret in each level, something the Wario Land saga was already good at.
the transformations are back, but now the pace of the game feels much faster. things like the level exits and bosses have a time window to be beaten.
although another bad thing is that there's some missing transformations from past games. these would reduce even more in Wario Land: Shake it.
So overall, I think wl4 is a little too short, but it's nice to experience. not as good or grand as wl2, unfortuantely...
Protip: you can't >:3
Anyone else still play these?
Post custom levels if you got 'em.

Great game
just like i remember it
jokes aside do you guys think playing retro vidya with this theme fits in the whole " vintage" aesthetic?
Maybe they should've tried to release it in, say, 1992 or 1993, might have been better received
Be that it removed exclusive content (no matter how small), broke/removed features, or even if it was a completely different game.
I ask because I'm trying to get rid of a large amount of bulk games I received, and I wouldn't want to get rid of the best version of the game if I had it, nor if it had a feature I preferred.
These pages helped a lot:
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/List_of_notable_ports
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_PC_games_with_features_removed_compared_to_their_console_versions
but I'd like to know more about games possibly not listed, or specific games (You) anons are very autistic about. I'd love to hear about it. Anything helps.
I'm loving the coziness and overall aesthetics, like pseudo-anime/JRPG inspired.
Decided to start as the Italian debtor, but if my play through goes South I may play as the Turkish guy, he looked cool.
Also, I'm playing the DOS version.
Any tips? Memories?
Which was the best?
Why do you think we never saw a Capcom vs. Disney game?
-lots of similar names (Fox Hound, Outer Heaven...)
-the structure and game design are extremely similar
-the codec
-false codec advice that leads you into a trap
- breaking the 4th wall "turn off your MSX"
-the betrayal of a codec ally
-cigarettes that allow you to see infrared rays
-the box
-the radar
-the crawl
...
I just lost a lot of respect towards MGS1
Are sound effects the most underrated part of a video game? I honestly think its a big reason why I've always liked the AS versions less.
![Dragon Warrior I and II (U) [C][!]](https://i.4cdn.org/vr/1714287377352321s.jpg)
What happened to this style of game?
I know it technically still exists but... I'm not too sure about that. I'm also not sure if any good private servers (ever) exist
The gameplay was a platformer with puzzles to solve in order to open doors and proceed. The first level was a ruined castle full of paintings and the second one a sort of lab with big monitors. A detail I remember is that every time you got a puzzle wrong the music completely would stop for the rest of the level and basically softlock you, forcing to restart. Can you help me?
