The old thread died. Let's fire up a new one.

I played a demo of it years back. One button made the character mutter something and make the camera go up, I think.

Hello /vr/,

How about we play some N64 games online? For the most part, it's pretty simple and straightforward, though some parts may prove daunting. Proceed at your own peril.

>Project64 2.1
http://www.pj64-emu.com/downloads/func-startdown/122/

>AQZ Netplay v0.20 (if you don't trust this download, you may Google the plugin yourself)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?s2w5bc2wh1qndw4

>Recommended ROM download site

After you install PJ64:

1.- Load any ROM to set a default ROM directory path.
2.- Unzip the Netplay plugin in "/Project64 2.0/Plugin/1.6 Plugins".
3.- Press CTRL+T.
4.- In the "Options" group, uncheck "Pause Emulation when window is not active?"
5.- In the "Plugins" group, select "AQZ Netplay v0.20" for your Input plugin.
6.- After clicking OK, go to Options, Configure Controller Plugin...
7.- Select your plugin of choice, click Configure and map your buttons to your controller/keyboard.

There. We're done setting up the emulator. Now, you have two options: hosting your own server, or joining someone else's.

O.K. then, /vr/.

Final Fantasy VIII's story is a unique misunderstood example of purely video-game-specific storytelling.

In Resident Evil, it was Wesker bringing you the antidote. Clearly.

Final Fantasy IX suffers from mistranslations, and even the main characters' names are entirely botched (Zidane should be Gitan, Freya should be Flyer, Eiko should be Echo, Quina should be Cuisina).

Final Fantasy VII is a very good game, second only to VI.

Aerith is a deconstruction of a female video gae character stereotype. Cloud is a deconstruction of the JRPG protagonist. FFVII is a deconstruction of a JRPG. "Deconstruction" means "addition of a gimmick".

Donkey Kong Country 3 is the best in the series, while 2 is the worst.

Dreamcast, Sega's 6th gen hardware, is retro. Shenmue is a retro game.

Romhacks from 2013 are retro games.

A very important factor in whether you use a particular emulator is whether the main coder is a polite person.

Well, did I forget anything? Or is that it for now?

Name some games in the last few years that you've enjoyed.

/v/ says we just circlejerk over our childhood games. I'd like to prove them wrong.

I have found this site pretty good for finding new old games:

We make the worst retro game
>game has 20 numbers passwords and no saving function
>to continue you need to solve puzzles with no help à la simon's quest
>it's controls are buggy and oversensitive
>2D with around 3 colors+tones black, red and white
>end boss is either too easy or too hard - unbalanced difficulty
>fans still pray for a sequel and pay 900$ for a copy

Video Game Character Crushes and Stories?

>Who was it?
>How old were you?
>Describe that feel.

Chun Li.
Guessing I was 7 or 8.
Just knew that I liked looking at her picture and artwork. This was before sexual feels. I just knew that it made me happy to look at her. DAT INNOCENCE!

Why don't you play Street Fighter, anon?

I thought you like waifus

Tell me those childhood stories of That Kid.

So I got Wii to play some party games, but the main reason was to play nes/snes/sega/n64 games.

I didn't know it would be that shitty...
For example when I play Contra and die, I am invisible for like 5 fucking seconds and the same does Mario...
Is this normal?

Do you think developers will ever bring back low poly 3D and pre-rendered backgrounds the way some developers are now bringing back pixel art?
