Saturn Rhea: game list organization using Rmenu
zetastrike replied to rayik's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I set up the SD card for my Rhea a while back and I really don't remember how I did it, so I never mess with it haha. The SD card setup app I have renamed every game image to disc.CDI or disc.ccd. Ever since I got the Fenrir, I put the CD drive back into the Saturn that had the Rhea in it. -
I had a dream last night where I installed Windows XP on a 286 in my elementary school and it slowed to a crawl. I had to scramble to find a windows 3.1 install disk to fix it before the teacher came over and found out.

Also: logged an hour in Killing Time for the 3DO last night.

Both last night and today, I played Shining Force CD for 3.5 hours. Fantastic game, but I'm feeling a bit burnt out. I'll probably leave it be until next weekend. I wanted to be able to promote at least 1 character at level 20, but I put it down with a few hovering at 19.

I always hated the power switch on the PS1. Every model I've owned, it's so wobbly, there's friction between the edge of the button and the hole it's in, it creates an echoey sound when you press it. The open and reset buttons are the same way.
-
The RNG in the original Shining Force is pretty brutal. I've never whiffed so many attacks in any of the other games in the series.

Recently traded a Gameboy and Everdrive to Bradd in exchange for a recapped Game Gear. I'm super happy with it, the work was very well done and I'm appreciative that he had the specific motherboard revision I was looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend doing business with him.

Got my first coffee grinder tonight. I can't wait to have fresh ground coffee in the morning. No more pre-ground for me.
-
@zetastrike I can vouch for that Zeta. I just love the freshly ground smell of roasted coffee beans. I use to go to the Supermarket to have it done all the time when I was a boy. 8^)

I've always liked Sonic Blast. The hate that it gets is so ridiculous, it's just like the other 8-bit Sonic games, just with a different art style. "Sonic Blast is a horrible game" has just become the accepted canon for the hivemind for some reason. I'd say the level design is better than most of them, as there's some meat on the bone and you can't just hold right and finish them in 12 seconds. I would easily call Sonic 2 and Chaos worse than Blast. I'd probably rather play Blast than Sonic 1 most days.
-
I was hoping that someone here would have a Game Gear that they know is the right revision. Otherwise I'd have to message ebay sellers if they have a VA0 or VA1 and hope they respond, know what I'm talking about, are willing to check, and are truthful.

Saturn: Policenauts - 6hrs 48min on Friday 12/18/20

I had to have sunk at least 8 hours into Shining Force Gaiden: The Final Conflict for the Game Gear since last Friday.

It's messed up that intellivision homebrew is unobtainable to newcomers. Homebrew shouldn't be exclusionary.

Whoa Whoa Whoa, put down the broad brush. I resent the **** out of this statement. I'm not autistic and I'd be willing to be most of the users here and other forums aren't either. That's just insulting to everyone here and to people who are actually on the spectrum and live normal, enriching, productive lives. Being socially awkward isn't an excuse to avoid actually putting in the work to build a more fulfilling life. If someone is so scared of the outside world and lazy to the point where hoarding plastic junk is the only way you're willing to get a dopamine hit, then you have nobody to blame but yourself when you get that 900th game and realize nothing has changed and have to pick another console to complete.
-
To each their own, but I will say that I think all the time and money that completionists put towards hoarding games would be better spent towards experiences and fostering social connections and relationships. At the end of the day, it's just a bunch of plastic and cardboard on a shelf, it won't be some life altering event, your life will be exactly the same as it was before you slid the last box or case onto the shelf.

It's also a fact that RGB cables that provided a sharp picture have been available for the MD from the time it was released and it was designed from the get go to utilize them. Hell, in France RGB would have been the only way to display a MD on a TV, so their baseline of normal would be very different from yours, are they idiots? Just as many developers didn't use dithering or account for it when creating games for the MD. On top of that, dithering was used all over the PC and home computer world where blurry displays were not a thing. The level of anger I'm sensing from your posts here is unhealthy. And yes, I did grow up in the 90s and 00s playing games over RF and composite. I don't want to go back to that.
-
The games can look however you want them to. They're not supposed to look one way or the other. Please stop projecting your preference on everyone as if it's the only way. It's not incorrect to want everything sharp and clear any more than it's incorrect to want it blurry. I never use fake blur on any emulator. I don't understand why dithering triggers some people so much. I like sharp clear pixels, seeing a checkerboard doesn't bother me. RGB cables have been a thing for the Megadrive as long as it has existed, so the capability and option was always there. Please stop talking to us like we're idiots because we aren't fretting about this.

Favorite Donkey Kong Country game
zetastrike replied to Thunderbird98's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I prefer the first one. The older I get, the more I appreciate the simplicity in it's design compared to the other big SNES platformers. All you have to do is run left to right and avoid hazards, the bonus rooms don't get you anything so you can ignore them. The two sequels over complicated it with too many things to collect in each level. I think it nails it with the tropical island atmosphere, whereas the second one was too dark/dreary and the third one took place in Canada. -
The NT Mini is a NES/Famicom system and marketed as such. It makes no more sense for it to have Atari/Intellivision/Gameboy/Mega Duck/etc than it would for the Super NT or Mega SG. I think it's a crappy way to keep people on the hook. They're showing off what they're products can do, but keeping it gated behind a very expensive machine produced in small quantities. I don't like Analogue or the Mister community for different reasons, but at least with Mister you know where it stands.
-
Does anyone else feel a little bit miffed that NT Mini Noir users already got a massive jailbreak with a lot of extra/unrelated cores, including a Genesis core? It doesn't really matter to me as I have a retroarch setup and a mister so I'm not short of options for playing most of these games, but the powers that be don't seem to think all of Analogue's customers are created equal. I've never bothered jailbreaking my Super NT as I already have a flashcart. I will give them a little credit with the Mega SG as the Colecovision core is a true bonus. I know all of this stuff isn't official or supported or acknowledged by Analogue, but we're not stupid and anyone who only ever bought a Super NT might be justifiably frustrated.

I'm in need of a working recapped Game Gear board revision VA0 or VA1 for a mod I have on order. This is what I have for trade. Gameboy Color with IPS screen mod (brightness control is attached to the IR port, I'll throw in my small loose cart collection as well) Everdrive N8 Famicom (with blank 4GB micro SD card) Everdrive N8 NES Mega Everdrive X5 Mega Everdrive V1 deluxe edition (with blank 8GB SD card) I'm in North Carolina 27707

I have to post this here because it's a big deal for me. After about 6 years of owning the game, I finally cleared level 10 of Monster Manor on the 3DO. It's a notoriously frustrating map with a ton of enemies and hardly any ammo to deal with them. Worse still, there are many dead ends that will unleash hordes of spiders and grim reapers that you won't be able to defend yourself against due to the sparse ammo dumps. This took me roughly an hour to complete. Here's the map in case anyone else out there is struggling with this level. Even the game's developer couldn't finish it during his playthrough on youtube. @thegoldenband you might appreciate this one! The yellow dot is the location of the talisman piece you need to exit the level and the exit is marked by the white X in the bottom left corner, just above the red + sign which is me.
