feckhead · 16-08-2010 12:09PM

I think I have a copy of paperboy on the gamegear. I'll have to try and find it. If someone doesnt have sunset riders I'll try get it at least emulated.

Retr0gamer · 16-08-2010 12:47PM

The SNES version of sunset riders is a poor port, arcade version is way better and 4-player.

It's not a bad port could be better but beggars can't be choosers.

Retr0gamer · 16-08-2010 02:32PM

Well it's not like you have to fork out on an arcade machine when there's mame.

pdbhp · 16-08-2010 02:36PM

I'm sure someone will have a megadrive control pad to use that'll do me

feckhead · 19-08-2010 04:27PM

My mate Rob will be bringing a Megadrive. You need a control pad I'm sure he'll look after you

Retr0gamer · 19-08-2010 04:46PM

You's can't play Street Fighter 2 on a megadrive let alone a PAL megadrive, it's sacrilege!

Really is is total rubbish? I've never played it didn't have a MD when I was younger but looking formard to playing some wild games.

Retr0gamer · 19-08-2010 07:01PM

Well it's not total rubbish, it's as good as the megadrive could handle in fairness but it's terrible compared to the arcade version. It looks really drab, there's loads of frames of animation missing and the sound is pretty poor due to the megadrive soundchip. However the worst thing is that since it's a PAL game it feels like you are fighting in treacle since the game is so slow. You can turn the speed up but the timing is still off compared to the arcade version. The SNES version suffers from this as well but has better colours, music but less frames of animation. Best to play it on mame.

Jaysus nothin worse than when a good game is destroyed like that but that seems to be the way it seems difficult to get a good port on older systems, better to stick to console exclusive titles.

Retr0gamer · 19-08-2010 07:16PM

The consoles just weren't able for the ports back then. Best stick with mame and newer compilations of games. What annoys me more is stuff like the european Virtual Console and PSN shops putting up the PAL games that play a lot worse than the american ones.

Is this caused by the TV output we use? I heard somewhere years ago that this was the problem and I remember playing American SNES games and they looked crap on my telly all letterbox and black borders it took the look off the games big time.

o1s1n · 19-08-2010 08:03PM

PAL consoles (Europe and Australia mainly) = 50hz (they run 17.5% slower) and have letterbox format.

NTSC consoles (US & Japan) = 60hz (run full speed) no letterbox.

NTSC whenever you can. If you have PAL consoles, at least make sure you mod them to support 60hz!

jetblack1981 · 19-08-2010 10:56PM

Errr so no mega drive street fighter

Get yourself down to Lidl and get some noblander 10 bottles for €4.50 and it's pretty drinkable.
Regarding Street Fighter on the MD bring it anyways Jetblack it's a retro night so being frustrated and playing dodgy games is what its all about or as they say in Canada aboot!!
