What is the correct way to play retro games?
-
watch a let’s play then pretend like you’ve played it
-
Indeed. Also you need to follow that asking for a remaster to fix the "issues" with the game.
-
I know everyone posts the "Do you have to play the game to be a fan of it" Twitter screencap a lot, but as an adult, I have very little time to dedicate my full energy into consuming a game and there are much more important things that take priority. There are series where I’m interested in the story but the games are 40 hours long and I’m too busy with work and other stuff, so I’ll just put on a No Commentary playthrough in a pop-up window on while I’m working on stuff on my computer. This is how I did it for the Drakengard, Nier, Yakuza, and Persona series. I see the artistic merits of the stories of these games, but I don’t have the patience to subject myself to hours of repetitive and grindy gameplay just so I can advance to the next part of the story. Granted, I haven’t sworn off gaming completely. If the game is about or less than 10 hours long on HLTB, I’ll play it in one-hour spurts over a week or so. This is usually reserved for visual novel-style games or puzzle games like Ghost Trick or 999 where you can make a lot of advancement within an hour and not be subject to fighting the same enemies over-and-over again in between cutscenes.
-
>as an adult I have no time
If you’ve arranged your life so poorly that work devours all of your time, that’s on you.-
It means I would rather spend my free-time with my other hobbies like running, cycling, or playing guitar, and if I wanted to relax I would rather watch a film or read a book than play a game unless it’s a VN or puzzle game.
-
>claims to like playing games
>barely plays any
that’s like claiming to like gently caressing while you only do it once a month-
I would rather gently caress once a month than play video games every day.
-
>one 30 minute burst of dopamine is better than literal HOURS of relaxation and enjoyment
-
You sure video games aren’t the bursts of dopamine?
-
yes, but I’d rather play vidya than coom
-
suit yourself.

>I don’t have time games
>I watch playthroughs for story
>I ‘play’ visual novels
You don’t like games-
Maybe not, but is that an awful thing?
-
Not inherently, but you know the board is ostensibly for video games.
-
Yes, I am very aware.
-
we can talk about video games without liking them
-
But can you talk about them without playing them?
-
-
-
-
-
and what’s stopping you from slowly playing through the games?
-
When I only play for one hour but 45 minutes is spent on fighting the same mobs over and over again.
-
Just play good games instead dude
-
That’s what I do. I played 999 and Ghost Trick.
-
-
-
-
-
Fpbp and what 99% of people here do, especially with meme games like RE and SH. Or just larp that the games are great because their favourite streamer said so. Cancer
-
If you’re able to do that, it wasn’t a good game. And in fact being able to do that selects against that type of game, since you have no incentive to pay for it.
-
-
upscaled obviously
-
the correct way is to not play them at all if you didn’t grow up with them
-
I don’t know anon, I’m playing SH right now, and though you can see it aged really badly(especially the cutscenes) the game kind of holds up today
-
You should be a comedian anon.
-
I’m going to choke you
-
-
Who let Jim Ryan in here?
-
this honestly, most pre-6th gen games suck ass.
-
I bet you have this same mentality when it comes to books, music and movies.

not him

>electronic instruments
>complexity
>more variety>games
>move to 3d and improvement in graphics
>scale
>better hardware allows better gameplay>books
>the greatest tools, imagination and paper were there from the start
books don’t belong in this comparison.All improved, so not enjoying old ones unless you’re nostalgic makes some sense. nes platformers and shmups aged badly.
I enjoy classical music and older films but I prefer mostly new stuff, for whatever reasons.-
>better hardware allows better gameplay
where-
Up to 6th gen it seemed like each time hardware got more powerful, you’d actually generally get better gameplay. After that the focus just shifted too much from gameplay to cutscenes and graphics.
-
-
>old movies
>still watchable
>old music
>still listenable
>old books
>still readable
>old games
>still playable
It’s fine if you don’t want to bother, but nothing is stopping you.Genres got refined over time, but that isn’t always a good thing. Survival horror games are really just shitty action games, that failed to accomplish what their designers hoped to make, but they still have their fans, because the difficulty makes them more interesting.

>InAfter CRTchadness
-
This, emulators can’t fake half pixel shading. A CRT is the only way to see this as it was meant to be.
Either that or mods and upscaling and texture replacements. Or a whole HD remake/remaster. Without some work, upscaling alone or original res alone are both messed up.
-
-
Your screen is as plain as your life.
-
didn’t someone make a program that converted old games that were designed for CRTs to look good on LCDs? what was it called? I can’t remember
-
DAE LE PLACEBO?????
-

-
Now increase the rendering resolution and drop the filter and it’ll look better than either of those

Tell me more anon.
-
-
yes I use crt filters because they are comfy, fite me
-
-
For 3D games? With increased internal res of course.
-
not on the right that’s for sure
-
There’s no correct way to play it, but please refrain from using save states like a casual.
-
Save states are really good actually. Less friction, more fun.
-
-
I’m having fun 🙂 I hope you are too 🙂 In your own way 🙂
-
-
>trying to dictate how people play single player games
autismlmao casual trannies. You get a different experience in some games by using states. In RE the save system involves a correct assestment of risk/reward. Savescumming takes out one big factor of the game. Its a different game if you are not subject to that risk and decision taking of when and where to save.
-
don’t care
-
>d-don’t care
Then why are you replying?-
You are polluting my board with your silly little posts. You have to be told off.
-
-
-
I agree that ribbons really added intensity to the game but they weren’t that rare tbh. I had a large collection of them in my safe box by the end of the game
-
but you perceived them as a valueable resource and that’s why it’s good
-
That’s true. I recall first two times playing RE1 that I ran out of ribbons on occasion. Which forced me to just continue. Anxiety grew cause of that
-
-
Still adds to the tension. None of the original games are really hard once you beat them once and you end with a shit ton of ammo and ribbons. But the first time, it simply adds to the tension and oppressive atmosphere the fact that you know its a finite resource.
-
-
I don’t care about the peak enjoyment, if I wanted peak enjoyment I would play it on a CRT when it first released completely blind
-
Oh sorry then missy, enjoy the non peak enjoyment ?
-
-
Limited save systems are a waste of time.
-
Video games are a waste of time.

No it isn’t. Read the OP.-

>>OP is clearly referring to the screenshot of original graphics vs increased fidelity from mods
No he isn’t. It’s just an illustration. One aspect in which old games amy be played.

-
-
-
I only use save states when playing mega man
-
As long as you use it as extra life and not as saving before a jump or a boss is fine, I guess.
-
-
The sad thing is Ganker in 2021 is literally full of casual tards who use save states. Just pathetic.
-
>caring about how people play a 20 year old game
ngmi-
>crying because people rightfully call you a causal pussy
Just learn how to actually play video games.-
says the fag whos crying about how people play, that shits pathetic, do you also lock your cock in a chastity cage too so you can get that true gamer experience
-
It’s just sad that in the current year the odds of the person you’re discussing a retro game with has only experienced the game with zero challenge because they blow at video games is very high.
-
>muh challenge!
god you’re so sad, like i said do you want me to crush your nuts or sew your hands together that might get you off since it makes the game "harder"-
How little testosterone in your body is required to view the word "challenge" as a bad thing?
-
how little is yours to take a game so seriously and shit on people for playing different because they didn’t do it "the hard way" i bet you think dark souls in the pinnacle of modern gaming because it’s "hard"
-
I bet you cheated at Dark Souls because you’re a pansy.
-
By cheating you mean cheese build. of course go cry about that too faggot. Anything else we should know?
-
>he looked up a guide to beat Dark Souls
At least you didn’t use cheat engine.>playing hard games means you have high testosterone
This is a sad opinion to haveIt at least means you aren’t a complete pansy.
-
Imo only a pansy would care about how you play a game
-
Yes this is Ganker.
-
why does Ganker have such autism
-
generally due to having one of the youngest age groups on the site – especially since /a/ imploded after a /b/ raid a few years back. /x/ was looking to overtake Ganker until they were raided and everyone gently caressed off.
-
If you use save states you aren’t playing the game at all. What is even the point of that? Graphics tourism?
-
>If you use save states you aren’t playing the game at all.
>well you’re still playing the game you’re just skipping parts or making it easier
so.. it’s still playing the game
>yes… but.. no.. -
To have fun/enjoy it? If using save states make the game more enjoyable to you then do it. Why would you play a game if not to enjoy it.
-
Dogs have more fun fetching a ball than playing Silent Hill. It’s great to have fun, but dont fetch a ball and then tell me you played Silent Hill.
-
You should get off your high horse. You enjoying something difficult doesn’t make you any cooler or better than someone who doesn’t enjoy that.
-
Not that anon but your panties are clearly in a twist.
If cheating is not bad that why are you so clearly ashamed of it?
-
-
>playing hard games means you have high testosterone
This is a sad opinion to have

I used save states in doom and im older than you so eat my shit you cuck
-
>claims to be an oldfag

they are borderline the same thing, you would know if you played them

Quicksaving is part of the gently caressing game you underage retard.
-
older than you mahamed
-
-
-
-
You sound very insecure about your oldfagginess

Native res with a good crt shader
-
This. But without any shaders. That shit always looks like zoomer puke to me.

I’m going to emulate PS1. Missed out on it when I was a kid. What are some must play games on it?
-
final fantasy 8
-
have a nice day, unironically 8 was gently caressing garbage
-
it wasnt that bad. I liked the draw system a bit, or finding hidden summons like King Tomberry. Or Popo the alien and the card game was fun. It’s story wasn’t as good as FFVI or FFVII though.
-
-
-
Gran Turismo 1 & 2
-
Tomb Raider 1
Tombi 1
Crime Killer
G-Police -
Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX; Tactics optional
Metal Gear Solid 1
Silent Hill 1
Tomb Raider 1 and 2; 3, 4 and 5 optional-
Add onto this Resident Evil 1&2 and Rayman, and you’ve got a perfect list.
-
Parasite Eve 1 and 2 as well IMHO.
-
-
>Tactics optional
do not listen to this gently caresser -
Literally only Silent Hill 1 is a PS1 game out of all of those.
-
-
Jackie Chan Stuntmaster
-
I like minimme too
-
Who?
-
-
-
Vagrant Story if you’re into rpgs, that game is like a fine wine that I enjoy more every time I go back to it.
Least in my opinion.-
vagrant story is gently caressing beautiful
the camera during cinematics stands out a lot, like it’s actually impressively done
-
-
Xenogears
-
I messed out on n64 as kid and still don’t want to emulate it. But emulate PS1 all the time.
-

MUST:
Vagrant Story
Parasite Eve I and II
Fear Effect I and II (the godfather of cellshading)
Metal Gear Solid 1
Silent Hill
FF 7, tactics, 8, 9 (8 is subpar but the music and setting still makes it a must play)
RE 1,2,3
Front Mission 3
Xenogears
Tomb Raider games (or just play them on pc)
Crash Bandicoot trilogy and team racing
Koudelka
Breath of fire III and IV
Chrono Cross (just assume its not related to trigger)
Abe’s… games
Suikoden I and II
Megaman games. All of them. Even the bad ones have memorable shit
Castlevania Symphony of the night
Soul ReaverOPTIONAL:
Nightmare creatures 2
Legend of dragoon
Deception 3
Tenchu 1 and 2
Wild Arms 1 and 2-
>no Spyro
-
Crash is already reaching. Spyro belongs in the trash can with Croc, Gex, Psybadek, pandemonium, etc.
The one I actually forgot was Ape’s Scape now that I read the list again.
-
-
>tenchu optional
-
I say Legend of Dragoon and Tenchu should be a must play and remove parasite eve 2 from that list. PE2 really bummed me out on how much they changed it.
-
tenchu is not optional, faggot
-
-
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. It’s condensed platforming fun. However, it is kinda brutal. One of my favorite games of all time though. Somebody mentioned Soul Reaver and I agree with that too.
-
Oh and shit, Ape Escape, hell yeah.
-
re1 directors cut (NOT THE DUAL SHOCK VERSION), re2 dual shock edition, re3
-
the dual shock version has the best music though
-
-
vagrant story
if you’re into that kind of game at all, the way VS is put together still holds up today. It’s like playing a modern game with old-ass graphics. -
Akuji the heartless
-
Megaman Legends 1 + 2
-
Rosco Mcqueen.
-
Wipeout 2097
Wipeout 3 Special Edition
Micro Machines V3
Micro Maniacs -
Spyro the Dragon
-
-
original console hooked to a CRT
-
The "correct" way
And a good alternative
Anything else is the gaming equivalent of taking a shit on the Mona Lisa
-
-
-
>Playing game in it’s original presentation
vs
>Making a game look like retro-inspired indieshit with inconsistent art assets
Tough choice-
isnt that the fault of the asset creators or is it because the game just shipped with lowres textures
-
why would you put in high res textures if your screen resolution is like 480p
-
-
cringe
-
Actually low resolutions are terrible and the clarity of high resolutions makes for a much-improved experience.
-
Yeah, but starting with PS2. In my experience PS1 games should be played in original resolution because of the extremely low quality of the assets. It looks coherent, grimy and right that way.
-
My approach is using 2x internal resolution specifically for 5th gen games. I find 240p to impede on readability, but I also find 960p and above to clash with low-res assets, so 480p is the right balance.
-
-
Hell yeah, dude. I love playing Quake II in 4k and not being able to read my health or ammo.
100% guaranteed improved experience, no room for nuance, no mods necessary to make your statement true.
-
anything over 1080p is a waste
-
Cope
-
-
Scale the HUD you gently caressing retard.
-
Emulators and and good Quake engine ports will let you scale the UI independently from the 3D elements to stay readable.
-
the RTX version of quake he’s posting lets you scale the UI too he just didn’t
-
name one emulator that lets you scale the UI differently than the rest of the game
-
-
>21fps on Quake 2
Yeah, I’m thinking ray tracing still needs to cook some more
-
Quake RTX is full path tracing, it’s not DXR memetracing, it runs horrendous for a reason
-
-
Quake RTX has UI scale in the options you dumb faggot.
-
-
You’re absolutely correct but this board is full to the brim with NEETs and poorfags who can’t afford to push it so they try to meme it to death instead.
-
-
that kid looks like a garden gnome
-
-
the one where you have fun
-
-
this
my way :
PS1:x4 res + downgraded to original res with a CRT shader. It’s gorgeous
PS2:x4 res + shader for boosting luminance
Dreamcast/wii/gc/wiiu : x4 res
mame : screen res + build-in CRT shader.
Genesis/MS:scanlines&composite shaders
nes/snes:simple scanlines shaders. -
-
-
This is the future of save state users.
-
use a crt shader on the left picture
-
Both are these are incorrect.
It’s too high resolution. -
with updated graphics mods and using save states to get through the shitty parts
-
-
What kind of filter are you running here? Do you know of any emulator that simulates the Z-Buffer on the PSX?
-
where are the scanlines?
-
-
Anyone who thinks this looks good has never seen a CRT in person. Holy shit, just use crisp pixels you RPing zoom
-
You got any of them pixels??
-
-
-
What are some good shaders for epsxe?
-
Neither of those
Where’s the dithering -
The way you like it to play
/thread -
probably on a crt. both those look bad compared to what crt + actual console looked like.
-
Your first and only priority should be renting/streaming and play whatever modern remaster/remake that came out.
-
okay, schlomo
-
It would be so nice if remasters all held themselves to high standards
-343 Halo remaster based on flawed Gearbox port
-Mario 3D Allstars Sunshine had dev cubes as per emulation quirks, and 4:3 underwater screen tint assets, couldn’t let you use the original joystick control scheme at launch
-GTA games cutting the songs they’re too cheap to license a second timeRemasters CAN be great, but sometimes you need the original
-
-
Tekken 3 as well, pretty damn good.
-
on the couch, in your underwear, with a cold soda and some pretzels
-
downscaling and upscaling modern games is maximum comfy

-
>CRTs
>not using the vastly superior PVMeducate yourself
-
That’s just a CRT but if he overpriced hipster shit.
-
>hipster shit
youre just mad because you didnt know about them and thought CRTs were the only option. lolyes, colors are much more brighter and the over all picture is sharper.
again, just like the other faggot. just mad because you didnt know PVMs and BVMs existed and are actually good for retro games.
-
Only hipsters give a shit about PVMs in 2021.
-
I know youre just mad because you dont have easy access to one.
if they were cheap and widely available, you wouldnt be calling them hipster.-
thats the literal definition of a hipster you dumb tard, thats exactly what you are

can you REALLY tell the difference between a consumer CRT, Trinitron, PVM and BVM other than the range of controls

-
-
So I’m replaying Parasite eve for the first time in over 20 years since I last played it, only because recently I found out there is a secret ending at the top of the Chrysler building that I never finished.
To play it, I’m using epsx and setting up the resolution to 1080 and forcing sharper textures. The game does look a lot better than it initially did. Eva doesn’t look like her face melted anymore like it did in my old RCA wood panel TV from 1983.
-
Is the game like point and click but with RE controls?
-
It’s a turn based game like final fantasy, but you can move your character around in battle while waiting for your stamina bar to fill up and to dodge enemy attacks.
-
Also should have added that it’s fun and armor modding system, while basic, is very fun. And when you make an attack, you can choose to use your gun/melee weapon, and or parasite energy against whichever target you select.

Not those anons, but I use CRT-Royale in Retroarch
-
-
-
-
Does it matter?
-
Either on original hardware, or through FrameMeister w/ SCART or component cable.
-
if you think left looks better have a nice day
-
Whatever makes you happy
-
TAS it
-
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with upping the resolution, though. You’re objectively improving the visual quality.
-
not the quality, the fidelity.
-
-
on psp
-
Upscaled as high as possible on a flatscreen with a CRT filter applied.
-
That’s not upscaling, you increased the internal render resolution.
-
I hope you’re shitposting
-
-
AHAHAHAHAHA YOU gently caressING RETARD
-
I’m sorry for your loss.
-
-
>I mean what’s the point?
Why do you care how I enjoy my vidya?-
Why so defensive about it when you chose to post it on the internet? Were you expecting to get praised or something? It just doesn’t make any sense, but if you like to play like this then be my guest.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Right, use shaders to make them look like they would have look at the time of release.
-
The way that you want to.
-
When they were released.
-
The correct way is definitely not playing at 1x stretched to 1063px high.
-
Honestly man I just run old games through the Retrotink and they look fine to me on a modern set. You can nitpick but it doesn’t interfere with the fun for me, unlike annoying emulation lag and improper sound.
-
Low poly models + low poly texture BUT with a higher resolution. There’s nothing good about low resolution (see 3DS games)
-
depends how retro we’re talking about
>NES
proper overscan values, proper display aspect ratio, ntsc composite filter, and a very mild scanline filter
>GB/GBC/GBA
accurate color palette and pixel grid filter. pic semi-related, i haven’t been able to tweak it to look any better
other than those, i don’t really have a strong preference. i didn’t grow up with an snes and i’m not familiar enough with n64/ps1 to have an informed opinion.-
>scanline filter
>pixel grid filter-
it doesn’t look right to me without them. that’s how they looked when i played them originally and in a lot of cases it doubles as a kind of antialiasing. and it looks "right," unlike most other ways people have tried to antialias 2d sprites.
-
Maybe I’ll give you the grid filter, but scanlines are retarded.
-
-
-
-
1. Get real hardware and a crt
2. Play in an emulator (a good one), zero filters or goofy shading, just accept the raw-ass pixelsThese are the only 2 valid options available.
-
Can we agree that SH1 gets lazy after School and first Hospital? The rest of the game is still very creepy but I feel like that devs gave up on level design and puzzles after first Hospital visit
-
The turn where the town gets dark and the jumping enemies show up is great though, certainly better than anything in the later games.
The underground area where your radio doesn’t work is cool.
The side area with the motel is meh.
-
-
On original hardware. Failing that, emulating it as close to original as possible.
Anything else is for fun and if someone tells you its the correct way to do it they’re a gently caressing faggot and you should disregard anything else they say and seriously question everything they said before that too. -
Any way I gently caressing want, if I want to use your mom’s loose snatch as a background to project games with my cock, that’s the correct way as well

>ever listening to Ganker
there’s your first problem, you don’t need to validate yourself to retard chambers -
No one knows better than you. It’s something I’ve come to understand. Think on the subject, not hard, just think, what do you like about the subject, what don’t you like, is there something you’re trying to achieve? The answer is in you, always.
In this instance, both have merit, it’s neat to see things clearly, the models and the textures, it’s a fresh perspective to those of us who actually played the games on the original hardware. Meanwhile, the game was intended to be viewed a certain way, and changing that can have an impact on the user experience.The only thing I can say is this: nostalgia is personal, and cannot be shared or given.
-
-
The proper way to play is with a CRT monitor or a CRT filter
It’s not perfect but it’s a start https://piratehearts.itch.io/supercrt
-
I played through Doom 1 and 2 with GZDoom with mouse look and high resolution, absolutely no gently caresss given. I respect purists, but gently caress that shit.
-
holy gently caress that’s so soulless on the right
-
man these boomers are giant pissababies when it comes to retro, I hope zoomers destroy it like they did to /vr/
-
original hardware/software. anything else is soulless pleb npc tier and you gets no respect.
-
-
i’ve been doing it this whole time and it’s working like a charm, look how mad they are getting
-
-
As close to the original visual experience as possible. Games were designed with these limitations in mind, after all.
-
I gently caressing hate inaccurate or buggy emulation. Enough to learn how to solder and recap retro consoles.
-
This was the most annoying shit for me on DOSBox. It had a lot of visual glitching like flickering or clipping sprites that I’ve gotten an old machine instead
-
-
Why are modern games so shit? When I was a kid, playing ps1/2 games, I was dreaming about how in future games would be huge and have lifelike graphics. But all I do today is play games that are older than 10 years.
Memes aside, I think it’s the souls that is missing from the games. Like before only people who were passionate about games were making them, when the industry got big people who aren’t even interested in video games just try to get their share of the industry -
Anything other than native for any console is fucing retarded
This doesn’t apply to 7th gen and SOME 6th gen games though. But if you’re playing PS1 games at anything above native you’re gently caressing retarded
-
The fact that anyone even plays "retro games" speaks to the how little anyone here actually cares about video games. You don’t like retro games, you just like to pretend you have better taste than other people and you play your games in a better way. No one watches "retro movies" or reads "retro books", it’s a term applied entirely to things you feel like posturing about.
-
like all the people who posted about flash games, you know damn well they didn’t touch them for months until the removal happened.
-
Everything in your post is wrong
-
Nigga, "retro books" are the only books worth reading.
-
"Retro" is mostly used to refer to digital media, which is why no one refers to old books as "retro". People do refer to older movies as retro though. The word you use to refer to an older game has no bearing on whether you like it or not (although "classic" is more fitting). This is probably the most retarded opinion I’ve heard all week.

Yeah, retro, the word that was in common usage before digital media existed in the first place, commonly refers to digital media. gently caress you’re stupid.
-
>mostly
-
Yeah, not even mostly, exactly. I’d say I’m glad we agree but I can’t even believe I’m agreeing with a moron like you.
-
this dumb nigga really out here thinking mostly and commonly don’t mean the same shit
-
-
I didn’t say the word was invented strictly for digital media you retard. Words change over time and generally speaking people use it in the context of digital media nowadays.
-
But you did say it’s mostly used for digital media, which is equally stupid. No one actually said you said it was invented for that purpose, I don’t know why you’d try to deflect from the fact that you don’t know what it means at all.
-
>but you did say it’s mostly used for digital media, which is equally stupid.
its actually true though, most people only use the word retro when referring to media -
I’m not trying to deflect shit, I know what it means and almost every time someone uses the word retro nowadays its synonymous with "80s-90s game/movie/tv". We can argue about the use of the word retro all day, I could care less, it had almost nothing to do with my point. My point is that just because you categorize something as "retro", it doesn’t mean you like to pretend you like things you don’t and thats a huge retarded leap and you’re unbelievably stupid to think that.

what crt filter to use then?

Whichever way you enjoy the most.

"retro" picture of a polygonal game.
gently caress im old

given the choice, I’d prefer the left.
I’d play it in windowed, too -
I play old SNES games on my switch and use the rewind option when I die
die mad fags -
reminder that composite cables are the way to go for PS1 unless it’s something with nice sprite art like SOTN
-
Left. Emulatorfags should get a beating. Emulators should be banned.
-
Reminder that data is data and every physical copy you have is worth no more than a freely downloaded iso.
-
You’re going to flip your shit when the disc rot sets in.
-
-
Did I gently caress up?
-
you did a lot better than I did
-
-
Emulation is about playing games in a better way than the shitty technology of the past would allow.
-
But right isn’t objectively better. It’s an unnatural mix of high res rendering with low res assets. Games with that kind of textures and models genuinely look better pixelated.
-
not for me it’s not
for me emulation is just getting a chance to play classic games that are a pain in the ass to source nowI’m not about to pay some hoarder two bills for a single game, not including the actual gently caressing hardware meant to run it
-
Why are you people always like this?
"IM NOT PAYING SOME DUDE FOR A PS2 TO PLAY PS2 GAMES ON gently caress THAT."
When you don’t apply this anywhere else in life? You buy used cars, used books for college, but $90 or whatever a used PS2 goes for now is absolutely out of the gently caressing question.
-
Because cars are a necessity and games/consoles that can be rare and very expensive today aren’t and can be gotten for free. Also, everyone knows used book prices are a total scam.
-
No console that you’ll actually enjoy is rare.
-
I was more thinking of games for that, but the rest of it still stands either way. If people could download cars you better believe they would.

>When you don’t apply this anywhere else in life? You buy used cars, used books for college, but $90 or whatever a used PS2 goes for now is absolutely out of the gently caressing question.
I absolutely download overpriced textbooks and comics that are out-of-print and hard to come buy what the gently caress are you talking aboutliterally any replicable media, whose consumption isn’t bound to the physical medium, including music movies games books whatever, I will download without even so much as a smidge of internal conflict.
If I am able to support creators I like, I do, but I absolutely do not support gently caressing middlemen publishers just because they’re squatting on rights, and likewise I have zero interest in supporting hoarders. Why should I, at all?
Also the car comparison is retarded. 1 car given is 1 car taken. I can give out infinite copies of a book I own.
-
I think on top of that they don’t want to go through all the work of using freemcboot to burn games which requires buying discs, buying an hdd for a slim, or ftp games that sometimes stop working (not the games but ftp) and then running into problems where some games have an fmv not work properly. also component cables if you don’t have a crt.

As accurate as possible. Give it to me RAW.
-
What is the best Symphony of the Night version to emulate, ps1?
-
What’s the best emulation box that’s still capable of analog output? The Wii?
-
Where is the crt filter?
-
Gotchu fαm
-
>5 years later still no vulkan port
-
-
-
Left pic is wrong, where is the dither?
I like the ps1 dither.-
The dither was great for horror games because it made textures just slightly off, which could really add to a surreal horror atmosphere.
-
-
>zoomers rewriting history as if everyone had a $6000 1080p crt in 1992
-
Of course everyone did.
-
It’s the same people who spend every year up to 2019 claiming they were still gaming at high settings 60 fps on their 570ti
-
-
so should i be using crt-royale.slang (i like the pal one the most) for every console? it looks nice on sm64
-
Buy them on release date on the original system while growing up in the 90s. Sorry bro.
-
Up the internal resolution in emulator, and then downscale to output to a CRT monitor
-
Depends on the game
-
At 1080p on a modern monitor with no CRT shader. I want to be able to see my games, thanks.
-
>1080p
>modern
HAHAHAHAHA poorfag-
Literal child

Upscaled looks weird to me. I’ll play PS1 games in native res but with dithering/color banding disabled. PGXP can be okay too. I usually don’t care that much about widescreen or not and am fine with playing something in 4:3 if it doesn’t natively support 16:9, forcing 16:9 usually causes problems in my experience. And no filters, they also seem to cause occasional graphical issues and I don’t think scanlines are a good thing.
-
I like playing high res, it makes me appreciate the low res textures more.
-
Original hardware on a CRT.
Any other answer is acceptable, but not correct. -
Depends on your level of retro autism.
-
Left on a 640×480 interlaced CRT.
-
>it’s a Ganker tries to talk about technology thread
-
only upscale if the models are nice. Otherwise, high-res textures on blocky models really just trash the feel and shit.
That’s why I hate uding high-res texture mods, it don’t feel right -
Whatever makes you happy. Who the gently caress cares what other people do or like. gently caress other people. Video games are awesome.
-
>says in a video game discussion forum
-
-
video games age like milk.
-
Emulation is perfectly justifiable, especially if a game is rare/hard to come by. Using original hardware is sometimes a necessity if a game doesn’t emulate properly (I’m looking at you, Um Jammer Lammy)
In terms of retro PC titles, its honestly a matter of preference, DosBox is quick and dirty solution for many titles, but seeking out a source port typically yields better results.
