    Which is the best Castlevania on DS? Looking to get one.

    Get them all!

    But if you must Dawn of Sorrow is definitely the best. However if you can play GBA games then Aria of Sorrow is better again.

    Modified%20PAL%20SNES%20with%20widened%20slot%20to%20play%20US%20game_big.jpg

    That's not as bad as I was thinking. In fact, it's kinda growing on me.

    That's actually pretty cool, but getting it so perfectly cut isn't easy. It usually turns out looking like this from what I've seen

    :D

    Oh jesus! Imagine all of the people going along from Adverts.

    'Here bud, look, I found this rare snes in me attic, what's it worth? €500? Will it at least be 'nuff to get some smack?'

    'It's worth 20...'

    'Thousand?!'

    '...no..euro'

    (No smack for Jimmy. He goes home and just sniffs some superglue instead - glueing his nose to the container in the process and ending up in A&E)

    They were definitely wrong about Policenauts Special Edition, I have that but it aint worth anywhere near $200. Like the guest, I paid about €40 years ago

    anyone else notice slowdown playing JNTSC games on modded Pal snes consoles? Bit of a bummer tbh, so far I've noticed the magical quest when coins drop, random spots in DKC3 and alot of lag in Megaman X. Games like SSF2 and starfox seem perfect though.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,702 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Might just be the games. The SNES has a terrible CPU so is riddled with slowdown when there's a few sprites on screen. Also the PAL releases might have been optimised since there was usually 12-18 months between the PAL and JAP release.

    Yeah probably the games, the Megaman X lag is ridiculous at times though. On the plus side 60hz starfox is a really nice experience. :)

    If you want to see bad SNES lag then play Gradius 3.

    So I've got €8.88 on my o2 card, suggestions on what to buy? Already used it to get Okamiden and Shinobi on the 3DS.

    Legend of Kage 2 on DS is sometimes dirt cheap.

    Is it an RPG? I'm not in the mood for an RPG :(

    Just finished chapter 2 of Witcher 2.

    Took me a while to get into it, but I'm loving it now. Going to miss the city from Chapter 2 as I'd just figured out my way around the fecking place. Now I've a few hours ahead of me of being lost in a new city.

    Here's a tee for the Zelda fans out there, which would be everyone, it's a a tad feminine for a tee though, so only Sera might get away with it...

    Fixed. :)

    You know, I was going to say that but figured people would want to ease off on Retr0 for a while, allow the wounds to his ego to heal....

    Looks like I figured wrong! ;)

    Mornin' all,

    I've just picked up a German copy of Zelda : A Link to the Past.

    Does anyone know if there's a way to change the language?

    Many thanks,
    RNB
