Re: Random Gaming Thoughts

MAME vs FinalBurn Neo- any thoughts? Does it even matter? For info, I’m mostly interested in Capcom and Sega stuff, largely Beat em Ups and Lightgun stuff. Probably throw some SNK in there too. With that, when it comes to rom sets for those, is there a guide anywhere as to what the actual games are?...

Re: Suggestions for an emulation front end?

Fair enough! I’m specifically looking at Windows. Launch box is going to be my absolute last resort. Quick play seems useful, but ugly and plain. Attract mode is pretty, but I’m not sure how easy it is to set up. I’ve also found one called Big Blue, which seems pretty, but it seems to be low use and...

Suggestions for an emulation front end?

Don’t know where else to ask- does anyone have suggestions for an emulation front end? I’ve swapped over to using a bunch of stand alone emulators rather than Retroarch, which has been great. But it can be a bit of a mess trying to keep track of what I play on what, and a front end would help. All I...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts

@Popo- Essentially what I feared, with the amount of effort, you might as well just make a traditional hack. Disappointing but not unexpected. @Maru- Yeah, and that’s what I’m looking at. There’s a translation program called “Sugoi” that is pretty accurate for Japanese that can be combined with an O...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts

I’m not personally a programmer, so that’s half the reason I look into stuff like this, but I keep looking into alternatives to traditional ROM hacking for translating games. The following links are part of my inspiration for what I’m considering: m m Right. What if, rather than trying to hack into ...

Re: Thoughts/experiences on ordering from Limited Run Games?

I’m currently waiting on my first order, so a question- after the final item in your order says “in hand”, how long does it take to get the final email with the shipping number?

Re: Switch Discussion Thread

Slowly building my Switch collection, though there’s a game or two I might have to shell out a lot of money to get.

Re: Is physical media for modern consoles worth it?

As someone who often plays modern games on systems without internet access- it’s totally worth it. At least, depending on the types of games you play. I’d say at least 90% of games are perfectly playable without the patches and such, and if worst comes to worst, you can always get at least a few buc...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts

Nintendo is finally having a Direct tomorrow, and it’s 50 minutes. Assuming it isn’t all Smash Bros stuff, that should be interesting.

I do have to say I’m slightly frustrated by companies saying they want to re-real ease old games and then never doing it. Just get it done people.
