do people really consider Joy Mecha Fight a kusoge?

it has grade A+ tier designs and graphics and the gameplay is even better, honestly one of my most favorite games on the Famicom

What does /vr/ think of the SG-1000? I love it. Lots of fun games such as Star Jacker and Bomb Jack.

Why the N64 was hard to program

No.2752465 ViewReplyLast 50ReportDelete
A lot of people hear about why the N64 was difficult to program, but might not understand why. On paper, the system seems fairly simple, it's only got three components (CPU, GPU, one allotment of unified RAM), and no crazy parallel processing systems like Saturn or PS3.

I think a lot of people tried to look too deeply into the type of RAM (or the texture cache), but the answer is really much more simple. And it's in the location nobody speculating looked.

I found a forum post by one of the lead programmers of Burnout 3

>the problem wasn't the type of memory on the N64, but rather the fact that the memory controller was on the GPU and it gave priority to rendering for bus accesses. So the CPU was always sitting there waiting, and waiting and waiting.

he also says in another post that the reason gamecube didn't get burnout 3 was because the console wasn't cut out for it, but that's not a /vr/ discussion

Hey /vr/, I have a question.

I've been wanting to play some older fighting games for awhile now, but I was wondering what the best way to approach this was? Also, is there anyway to play the actual home console release over the arcade release (for practice modes and stuff)? I have an Original Xbox and a 5K Retina Mac at my disposal.

Also, favorite classic fighting game general?

Warlords 2/3

No.2768567 ViewReplyReportDelete
I just came up with the brilliant idea to try out dosbox and this old Warlords 2 Deluxe CD I had lying in my closet since years back. I bought it for nothing at a flea market but could never get it to run. Worked perfectly in dosbox!

I played Warlords 3 a lot when it came out, but could never really get over missing out on #2 after trying the demo at a friend.

These games are the perfect feel good games to play when you feel like something slow paced and trivial.

Fun detail in Warlords 2 is that the defualt is 8 human players, you have to manually change to into computer controlled or the game plays like a traditional table top game...

ITT: hardest games ever

the NES port of Q-Bert has never been beaten legit without pause buffering. even WITH pause buffering there is only record of 3 people in the world ever getting to the ending.

Sega Saturn Questions

No.2763161 ViewReplyReportDelete
I have one on the way and have some questions since I never owned one before.

1st: I have done some research and see that one can play Japanese games rather easily by simply getting an action replay but well looking for games I discovered an Ultraman game that comes with it's own memory card. How would one go about playing it while the action replay is being utilized?

2nd: I'm a little fuzzy on how saving games works on the Saturn. I see that there is a watch battery that is used on the console itself and that there also memory cards. Do you need a memory card to save games or can you simply save to the console?

3rd: How robust are the consoles themselves? Do they have potential health problems like the PC Engine/Turbografx?

Fucked Up AI Opponents

No.2761409 ViewReplyLast 50ReportDelete
Tried playing KOF94 for the first and have no idea how you're expected you're expected to win at single player. All projectiles you throw will be countered in some way. You get anywhere close and they grab. Every normal will be anticipated or blocked. It is Mortal Kombat 3 levels of fuck.

Post fighting games with the worst AI or any games that are deliberately programmed against you winning.
