  • I'm looping "Fuck You" now and it's all Kexruct's fault

    YOU'RE 

    WELCOME
  • All the guitar ones have this disgusting twangy sound. As if someone turned the glide knob all the way to eleven. It sickens me.

    Play Genesis games.... on your Super Nintendo. 


    Why you'd want to do this, I don't know. But now you can!
    The fact that it apparently has its own AV output makes me think it's just another one of those cheap-ass Genesis clone consoles, but designed to fit into an SNES and use its controller inputs.

    (You probably already knew that, but whatever.)

    Either way, it's like 17 different levels of pointless.

    Yeah, there's no way that you could run a Genesis game through a SNES -- a good number of Genesis games run at 320x224, which the Super Nintendo has no equivalent mode for, it can only handle resolutions of 256x224, 512x224, 256x448i, or 512x448i. That's not even counting the other problems regarding hardware sprites and background layers.


  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    And if you were to try (like Nintendo did with the Super Game Boy), the sheer amount of translation would require at least an ARM9—not something that'd jibe well with the cheap tat this thing apparently is.

    Anyway, I'm going to bed and hoping I'm not getting sick again. Good night!

    Good night Lee, hopefully you aren't getting sick again!

    I'm rooting through the library of intellectual properties I got from various acquisitions and wondering if Ctrl+Freak could do anything with them
  • I actually got past the first level on Imi's game

    and then I got a few levels in and got a game over, and for some reason my save didn't, well, save.

    So now I'm back to level one. :|

    there is no such thing as a good guitar VST, or at least one that actually sounds like a guitar.

    try a synthesizer instead.

    Well, years ago there was a third-party unofficial NES-to-SNES converter that did exactly that, it allowed you to play NES games through a converter on your SNES, none of the cheesy shit you see here with this Genesis thing. It not only managed that, but unlike your modern-day famiclone, it was 100% compatible with every NES/Famicom game out there, including troublesome ones like Castlevania 3. I really wish I bought one, now they're very rare and expensive to come by.

    Hey y'all.

    'Sup? I'm watching videos about famiclones and waiting for the sun to come up so I can play with my digital camera in decent light.

    i never had an nes or snes but i had a sega genesis.

    sleep is hard to do seriously.

    ^^^ Same here. My mother's family had an NES but they kept it when she and my dad and I moved out...

    ^^ God I know it.
  • Super Nintendo

    Sega Genesis

    when I was flat broke man I couldn't picture this

  • The sadness will last forever.
    my first video game was a tiny toons game for the sega genesis. it was also the only game i had for that console.
  • my first console was a Dreamcast. We had a PS1 around the same time and later switched to being a mostly Xbox family.

    anyone remember Blinx The Timesweeper?

  • The sadness will last forever.
    i only played the demo.

    My first video game was Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.


    I might emulate this one once my gamepad adapter gets here. I'm nostalgic but not enough to fuss with the cables for the Genesis for one game.
  • Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
    My first vidya game was Super Mario World for teh SNES.
  • man why is everyone here older than me :[

    Oh holy fuck, we've been talking about retrogaming all weekend and I didn't even mention:

    In addition to a plain jane NES, my mother's family had one of those TVs with the NES built in!

    My uncle had it until at least 2008. Last I heard he gave it away to a friend without realizing how incredibly rare and valuable it was. :(

    When my aunt and uncle still lived in Ohio they had it in a guest bedroom, where they had it hooked up to cable as a regular TV. I asked about it and they said the NES was "broken" and that the games were all at Grandma's house anyway.

    I wish I'd known then what I know now; I would have asked for it. I'll bet all it needed was a new 72-pin connector...
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    My oldest console is a Genesis I got in 2008

    I had Sonic 2, as well as a Beavis and Butt-head game with some hospital level that I could never get past
  • The sadness will last forever.
    i miss playing my gameboy
  • SPEAKING OF RETROGAMING

    I'm playing Rondo of Blood.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    the most recent console i have is a xbox 360

    Got fifteen bucks to spare? Any good used game store will have one for that much.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    sounds great but i have one already...actually two.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    the first one i bought was in laos 12 years ago and second one..i kinda forgot when i bought it.
  • Welp. I just wasted 15 hearts.

    You know, they really should have made the flameywhip one shot kill the mummy you have to fight in the boss rush.

    I want an SNES

    I'd get SMW and Yoshi's Island and SMRPG for it, at least
  • The sadness will last forever.
    i want an nes and an snes to play the older LOZ games.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Those too

    I might grab those for VC someday (I have OOT and MM, but not LOZ, Zelda II, or LTTP)

    There's a game store I frequent that would almost certainly have an SNES for a decent price, but I keep thinking that after the cost of games and controllers it would be more money than I could justify spending on something I'd play with twice and then forget.

    I do want to keep an eye out at the thrift stores, though. There's one not too far from here that always seems to have PlayStation 1s, oddly enough, but I have one of those already and if I wanted to play PS1 games I'd use my shiny new PS2.

    There are other ways to play them. All three are downloadable on the Wii and were rereleased for the GBA.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Well, having the originals would be nice too

    SMRPG never made it to Euroland til the VC.

    Mildly embarrassing confession: I got a new (!) PlayStation 2 for my birthday as late as 2010. I needed to replace my old one, because the jack for the power adapter was busted, but I wanted to buy it new because Sony had recently tweaked the design to use an internal power supply and I didn't want to have the power adapter screw me over a second time.
  • Listening to Daughn Gibson's All Hell.

    I don't usually like country but this is quite impressive so far.

    Do you know that Sony has just announced that they will stop making the PS2?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I know it, and that sucks

    I have yet to beat it, though

    I'm still at Bowser's Keep's puzzle section, which I find fairly tedious

    I played through most of the game in 2008
  • I think the best gift I've ever gotten was the Gamecube I got on Christmas in, like 2003. That was when they were bundled with Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, the original, and Adventure of Link. I think that Collector's Edition is probably my most played game ever, and if it isn't it's second only to Oblivion. But that's another story entirely.

    boy, i can't wait for bioshock infinite, fire emblem awakening and the last of us
