Re: Evercade Is Getting New "Giga Carts" To Allow For Bigger Games

@snk2d4life

Yes, but to the human being it just feels better
Just open a NES or SNES module, the former ones have more air than hardware, the snes ones are also only half filled, if the don't use additional chips, battery etc.

Also, it is much nicer to have the Artwork and logos visible on the module, i often like them

It is in case of Accuracy and CPU Power needed to do the same Task.

To Emulate via Software you need a much beefier CPU/GPU than the original System had and even than you have to make Compromises, depending on the System smaller or bigger ones.

You can see this especially with the N64.
Or my 58003D CPU, it can't emulate a Pentium 2 with 300 mhz properly, even if both are X86 and are closer as the CPU of the N64.

But both are not concurring, i use both and original Systems and love to have the Freedom nowadays to play in all possible Ways.
The Research in both also benefits each.

The Mister is also a good everything in One Device.
Upscaler, Everdrive, Console.

Good RGB Cables, OSSC and Everdrive are expansive, if i had knew beforehead, maybe i would have spared Money on some Consoles

And yes, some Games i prefer absolutely on original Hardware, such as Contra 3.
My Muscle Memory is just tooo adopted to it, i am failing all the Time on Emulation

Were people are, is Drama.
The Mister is a real Dream Machine, i would have never thought that we'll see PSX and mostly the N64 on it, i even got my original Save Games to run on it

So Kudos to all the People that worked on it with all the different Systems and Cores.

I guess they did need a Shield and Spokesman, that catches all the bad Stuff that can appear from People.

Re: Obsidian's Spy RPG Alpha Protocol Lands On GOG, 5 Years After Licensing Issues

So i am over three hours in and the game is much fun, it feels like an typical agency series, what is a good thing.
From what i have read it was rated in europe between 70-80% and around 60 in the us, the european ratings are closer to what i am experiencing.

Edit: I am playing the sneaky way, i think i'll do a second playthrough as an aggressive A-Hole

Re: Best Street Fighter Games, Ranked By You

Azuris

Strange Order has come out.
For Example, the Remake of Street Fighter 2 on the PS3 is good looking, has a great Fanmade Soundtrack, but the NPC are just soo unforgiving, i had absolutely no fun with it.

The ones i came back again and again are II and IV in different Versions.

Teach them that there is nothing free in Life, if it sounds too good, it is a Scam.

Than also that behind every Hyperlink could be a Virus (or a Scam that wants your Money )

And, if it is broken, there will be no new one.

About the Year 2000 me and my Cousin got Internet Accssess with about 12 Years and this got us through, as we were very suspicious about Links, we didn't want that something will break our beloved PCs.

I think nowadays it is even worse, back then it was the wild Days of Internet, but today they use addicting Tactics like in Gambling to get them.

Don't let them into social Media, block it or go with them into it and teach them how it manipulates them.
Limit the Time at least, it will make them dumb.

Give them good Games, some where they can new Characters etc. while playing, without having too pay for it.
That will help to turn them off from free2play Crap.
Rather let them ask you to buy them a Game than to start addicting Crap that wants their Money.
So also no Games with Microtransactions and Loot Boxes.

If they know there is better Stuff and they can have it here and there, there will be no need for them to test out the "free" scammy Stuff.

When i was very young, about four" i was at a Bar with my Dad and i saw a gambling Machine and a Man playing.
I wanted to test it and my Dad gave me a Coin to do so.
I threw the Coin in, pressed one of the Buttons, some Lights, some Sounds aaaand it was over.
I tested a second Time and the same.
I couldn't comprehend what is fun about it, you press only one Button and it wants your Money to proceed, meanwhile at Home i could play far better Games on the C64.
Kids aren't as dumb if they know better

Re: Colin McRae And Sega Rally Fans Take Note: This PS1-Style Racer Looks Amazing

It really isn't as easy to get something good looking out of that.
I remember many games in wich it looks just very out of place and just cheap.
Especially in the mid 90s were some really bad ones.

I never can remember those Names, two are Virtual Hydlide and Virtuoso, you can see that these Games are not good with one Glance.

But imo it does look good in a Game as in the Article.

Re: Poll: Should Retro Game Remasters Carry Warnings About "Offensive" Content?

Azuris

You can add -nolegal and it not only skips the warning and legal text, but also the Logos, meaning you are instantly ready in the Menu!

To the Text itself, the Stuff happening in Tomb Raider is Fictional based on real Stuff.
I don't see something offensive in tibetian Monks defending an ancient Monsetry with a mythological Treasure, it is not different as in depicting a Templat in Indiana Jones being a Ward to the Holy Grail.
Nor is it racicst to depict a fictional aggressive Tribe in the Jungle, as Tribes as similiar ones existed in real Life and still do.
It is just Fantasy, the same as they depict Templars or Assassins in Assassin Creed.
It is based on something real, but fictional and mixed up.
Or take a Look at Mortal Kombat, taking most of its Inspiration from asia Cultures, but also Johny Cage and Sonya being very much a Cliche, do we need a Warning for Mortal Kombat? Or do we clearly see, that it is just Fantasy.

The real Danger sits in "Documentaries" as from Netflix, as they want to depict real Events, but change Characters, Nations etc. for their Massage.
Falsing History is something completly different, Nazis did that, Faschists did that.
It is not Mortal Kombat or Lara Croft fighting Atlantians.

Re: N64 Emulation Comes To Evercade Via Piko Interactive Collection 4

@RupeeClock

Yep, after seint the Title i was thinking the same, without having certain clues, good from you bringing them up.

Would have been reallly impressive, if they were able to do some black Magic and emulate the N64 on that Machine.

So it is much more logical to spare CPU Power to have more native Code running.

Netherless, impressive to see that it can bring up 3D Games and that Fans possibly can expect more 90s to early 2000 3D Games.

Most Filters are way too intrusive, no matter if VHS or Scanline Filters.

I was messing around A LOT to get something near to how it looks on a CRT, not a "blurryness", more a Merge of the Pixels.

Some good Examples for that on the Super Nintendo are the Lion King and Donkey Kong Country.
In the Lion King the Sky uses Dithering, those are isolated Pixels on a modern Display, on a CRT you have a smooth Transition.
The Models of Donkey Kong and Diddy are looking very dated on a modern Display.
The Arm of Donkey Kong has a very strange bright brown Stripe.
That doesn't look as weird on a CRT as it just transitions, the Sprites are overall smoother and with that better looking.
