KitsuneNight

As cool as they are , I am pretty sick of seeing these things.
There are so many it's hard to know what to go for.

I plan to play the fan translation on my Saturn Saroo ,err sometime this year.
Yes.

Clearly they are trying to fleece out of touch non techie boomer dads, who want some easy nostalgia and have more money then sense.

Most of that is luck, I'm not really up on my vania's

@Beetlebum91
I bought Cyberpunk 2077 used recently for the Xbox one.
After inserting the game and the xbox copying 441 mb of the contents of the disk it suddenly told me there was an update.

A 60 gig update, that replaced the entire contents of the disk .
That sort of thing is absolutely deranged.
The disc is nothing more than a dongle.

( i own the gog version of cp2077 i bougth the console version cause it was cheap and wanted to see how it did on last gen console hardware
not my ryzen 5 rtx gaming pc)

@Beetlebum91
Until you factor all the predatory DLC and micro transactions in.
It's a lot less great then.

Or that most AAA games are trashfires that need fixing day one, if they ever get fixed.

Yes, Gollum I see you slinking away !

@MetalKingShield
Sega only cares about Sonic and the Megadrive games.
It's like the rest of their legacy doesnt exist anymore.
They have gotten slightly better at it.
But Sega still has a heavy Megadrive bias.

And i am quite frankly really sick of seeing the same 16 bit corpses getting dragged around.

@845H
Yeah, I never got far either.
I can make it to the first boss and then kinda lose interest.

@BulkSlash
And thats most likely why it failed.
Whats the point in having a portable system if you can only use it on bats for half an hour ?

No matter what great games it may have had the abysmal battery life killed it

@BulkSlash
I did but it devoured them at a rate of 6 per 6 hours.
That's insane.
Eventually i got myself a power adapter but if you need to do that its not a portable anymore.

Outside of that it was alright.
But the battery issue was a big caveat though.

@Chlocean
Because it devoured batteries like nobodies business.
The best way to play for any period of time was tethering it to a power outlet negating any and all of its positives.

It could and would devour the price tag of a new game

I had Game Gear back in the day and didn't like it because it devoured batteries at a frightening rate.

@tektite_captain
Since the 90's the UK has been more of a Sega and Sony front.
More Sony Nowadays.

Disgustingly brainmeltingly wholesome.

@MondoWray
The cart slot is ....iffy, always has been.

@MondoWray
Excellent.
Happy Saturning

( i found that fighters megamix wont load though)

Cool.., i guess ?
It would be getting very cramped very fast, its like the mini Game Gears.
Cool but not very usable.

@Azuris
I meant I have the xbox retail edition.
If Limited Run is the alternative ill stick with my 20 year old retail copy.

4shared is also a pretty garbage host.

Looks like a very unhappy PII pc being forced to run the game.
But the massive leaps in quality are obvious.
This could actually be happening and not just a proof of concept.

Limited Run ?!!
There goes my interest in the physical copy.
That company glows in the dark its that toxic radioactive.

I'll stick with my 2001 Xbox copy.

@SuntannedDuck2
Genki moved in to mobile gaming.
Their last Console game was a Katamari game.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katamari_Forever

If the ps1 could handle it there is no reason the DC can't.

@Azuris
More choice is never a bad thing right ?

@Angelus3K
He does adress that here
https://aarongiles.com/dreamm/docs/v30/#faq-scummvm

And DREAMM supports games that are not point and click

@Fallingshadow

That was 30 years ago.
Classifications and attitudes chance.

Anybody as thin skinned to get outraged over the campy opening movie is either a moral knight that decides what is right and wrong for other people.
Or somebody that doesn't get out much.

TLDR: there is much worse out there on Youtube or in modern gaming at a cursory glance.

@slider1983
I'm not picking on you or anything.

I'm just saying that somebody has to do it first and lead the pack.
And its GOG in this case.
Hopefully eventually other companies wil follow their lead.

Gog is also a subsidiary of CDprojektRED.
Whether that's reasssuring or not i leave up in the air
CDPR often feels one miss step away from collapse.
Especially after CP2077.

I'm a bit unclear about what the food talk was all about.

I don't care about a reboot or a VF6, I just want a NEW VF game.

Or better yet a Fighters Megamix 2 .

@slider1983

Somebody has to do it.
At least Gog is willing to show the rest of the industry that it can be done and hopefully others will follow there example.

@Fallingshadow Why not ?
Resident Evil isn't a great unknown, it's one of the biggest horror titles out there.
And that dead eyed zombie thumbnail tells you exactly what your gonna get.

@Zeebor15
A badly drawn face.
Least that's what I get form it.

@Azuris
The oddest thing is that GOG has to push and convince Publishers.
With all these re releases and collections doing the rounds you'd think a publisher would be half way interested.

@Zeebor15
A Japanese video game developer.
They are responsible for among others, MRC, Fighters Destiny 1 and 2, The N64 version of Sim City 2000, Tokyo Extreme Racer, and Jade cocoon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genki_(company)

Might as well drop this link right here
https://www.gog.com/en/game/snk_vs_capcom_svc_chaos

Here is hoping for much much more.

Cool. but looks like a hassle to use to be honest.
There comes a point where something is just too small.

He shouldnt have bothered.
All his characters and designs look the same anyway, just with a different color palette.

So now we can all live out our Tokyo Drift fantasies ?

( thats a cover the original is "six day war" by Colonel Bagshot)

@PopetheRev28
Thats what most people have.

Shame MS wont make this a real legit thing you can buy.
I'd play it.

On a Xbox one X of all things.

It's honestly just a romhack, not even a proper game.
The only notable thing about it is that there are only a handfull of them and they go for an exorbitant price.

If anything its no more than a footnote and a flex for "collectors" cause no normal person would ever own any of these.

if there suddenly were thousands of them its : importance"would suddenly fade
odd that.

I'll have to dig out my Meggydrive II .

@phillai
Yeah, but not every gamer knows about that.
Or even has the know how.
All they want to do is play the game with the least amount of fuss.

Excellent.
I bought the Xbox version recently for less than a fiver , but getting long unavailable games out there again is never a bad thing.

So Capcom, what about Capcom Fighting Jam then ?

@Sketcz

Not quite.
I'm using Samuari Shodown as a reference

Y is A
X is Pause
The shoulder buttons do nothing
B and A are also kick and punch
Start pauses .

Let's see what it does in SF Turbo II
Select is start.
The shoulder buttons are punches.
Start is also a punch.
But so is Y.
A, B and X are kicks.

The convertor doesnt map buttons one on one.
From what i gathered it emulates that weirdo 6 button controller.
And it's layout changes for each game.
In most beat em ups you can remap the controls though.

But in other games, like Need For Speed, it's more of a puzzle.

The mapping is actually also in the manual here

@Peteykins
A Compact Mac
Compact Macs are cool.
I got 2 of them a Classic and a SE.

Both need recapping though.

@Peteykins

What kind of Mac ?

( i like macs dont judge me )

@gingerbeardman
Thwre is an even worse breed of games out there.
They only play Fifa FC, COD, and Madden and nothing else.
Just those 3 and then trade them in in the never ending annual cycle when the new one shows up.

Or keep Re-buying GTA V for new platforms.

@Sketcz
Yup.
It wasn't cheap but it works quite well
https://controlleradapter.com/products/snes23do?variant=40507810807965

I got the grey and purple one.
The button layout is s bit funky since the 3DO controller is actually a 5 button controller.
Or a 7 button, if you count the "start and select" buttons, but after a while you get used to it .

A proper Snes controller is just that much more better.

@Sketcz
Or the shell, or the buttons.
I use my Snes controllers in an unusual way.

Thats to say hooked up via an adapter to my 3DO
Takes a bit of getting used too but its quite pleasant.

Not a fan of the genre in the slightest.
Great to see the original, or at least a version of the original, to get a port to show everybody that' s wondering what all the fuss is about.

And what Rogue really is about.
But I 'm gonna pass.

I like quirky, but err, i'll pass on this .
Platformers are not my strongest suit.

@MondoWray
What kind of SD card are you using ?
My Saroo cant handle a 128 gig Sandisk but runs fine with a 32 and 64 gig Kingston

I am also not using the TPUnix firmware but Martinx72's firmware which is tweaked for better compatibility and other features.
