ZSNES sucks.
Super Slueth rules.
It let me play Radical Dreamers and everything else I have downloaded so far. The translation in Hyper Dimension sucks. Radical Dreamers is awesome. It plays out like a book. I just realized that I dont have a CT rom...or and ActRaiser rom...what's a great rom site?

[JohnnyNemesis]

RomNation.net is my favorite.

[ruroken]

Holy shit! Thanks! That site is so awesome!

[JohnnyNemesis]

No problem. In my opinion, that's the only decent ROM site out there, even though they're missing out on some great ROMS due to potential lawsuits :(

[ruroken]

Since I don't HAVE to vote; I agree.
Because that voting is shit. It didn't work once. Not once. Grr...
What games do you recommend (aside from obvious like Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy) ?

[JohnnyNemesis]

What emulators do you have aside from the SNES ones?

I'd suggest:

Super Punch-Out!!
Breath of Fire
Breath of Fire 2
Chrono Trigger (of course)
Gemfire
Saturday Night Slam Masters

And I'll come up with more soon.

[ruroken]

Sweet.

And finally, what's a comfortable button configuration without the SNES controller peripheral?

[JohnnyNemesis]

You mean to play on a keyboard? In that case, there pretty much is no comfortable button configuration. If that's not what you meant, it depends on which controller/joystick you have. Post a screenshot of yours if you have one.

[ruroken]

I meant keyboard...
so there seriously isn't any remotely comfortable configuration at all?

[JohnnyNemesis]

Not in my opinion, but maybe you can handle keyboards better than I can. Either way, configuration is all up to your taste as far as keyboards go; mess around with things and find what feels comfortable for you.

[Endymion]

star ocean = awesome

[FauxElitist]

Yah, ChronoTrigger is a must. Maybe Zelda, FF6, Earthbound, Breath of Fire, Lufia, Harvest Moon (Shut up), and Killer Instinct if you have a gamepad. Oh and Zombies ate my neighbours for screwing around.

Try: www.coolrom.com

Oh and Zombies ate my neighbours for screwing around.


I used to adore that game.

[ruroken]

So...Star Ocean came out on the SNES and not the NES?

[JohnnyNemesis]

You should get an NES Emulator too. I'd have kickass game suggestions for that. I use that one way more than my SNES emulator, even though SNES is my favorite system ever. Plus, the files are smaller and the downloads are quicker.

[ruroken]

Fire away. :)

[JohnnyNemesis]

Sweet! Here we go:

Mega Man
Mega Man 2
Mega Man 3
Mega Man 4
Mega Man 5
Mega Man 6
Flipull: An Exciting Cube Game*
Castlevania
Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest
Double Dragon 2
Gun.Smoke
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Lunar Pool*
Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Gaiden 2
Ninja Gaiden 3
Super Dodge Ball
River City Ransom
Wizards & Warriors
Xexyz

The ones with the asterisks are the ones you could probably play using only your keyboard. For the rest? Yeah, you almost definitely need a controller or something. The bolded ones are the ones you should DEFINITELY play, because they're like, the best games ever.

[BREAK]

Lately I've become obsessed with Street Fighter 2010, even if it has some of the most cumbersome controls known to mankind. I get bored of the easy games really fast, though. Ninja Gaiden, Solomon's Key, Rampage, Heavy Barrel, R.C. Pro-Am and Kung Fu are some of my other NES favorites (aside from all the obvious classics). Most of these are ridiculously cerebral and unfair, so have fun.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Wait, add Street Fighter 2010 to my list, and a BOLDED Strider to that list too. The former is hit or miss, but it's definitely interesting...and Strider just has a soft spot in my heart for being a good game with GREAT music.

[BREAK]

The NES version of Strider is retarded. Not even close to the greatness of the original arcade game.

Also, I can't fathom why anyone would bitch about playing NES games on a keyboard. It's TWO damn buttons people, just make the arrow keys the control pad and you're set.

[Homer]

star ocean = awesome

Agreed. But trying to get the damn DeJap thing to work took me too damn long, because I was using ZSNES.

Here's a good site for ROMs that I like to go to: www.emu-russia.net (just look for "English version" at the top).

[JohnnyNemesis]

Also, I can't fathom why anyone would bitch about playing NES games on a keyboard. It's TWO damn buttons people, just make the arrow keys the control pad and you're set.

The movements are an issue, not the buttons. Can you honestly play a side scroller on that thing?

[Endymion]

Agreed. But trying to get the damn DeJap thing to work took me too damn long, because I was using ZSNES.
i don't seem to recall having a problem getting it to work with zsnes.

[BREAK]

Can you honestly play a side scroller on that thing?

I can and I do. You've got two hands, don't you? Move your character with one hand and make him shoot/jump/slash/punch/kick/throw grenades/cast magick spells/eat hot dogs/etc. with the other. Sure, it's harder with SNES ROMs, but how many of those games actually USE all six buttons anyway?

[JohnnyNemesis]

So you can play something like Mega Man, with all that diagonal jumping and shit, on that keyboard? I call bullshit or exageration.

[ruroken]

Wait...so they're supposed to have music?

[JohnnyNemesis]

Wait...so they're supposed to have music?

The games you mean?

Um, of fuckin' course?

[ruroken]

The ROMS. No shit the games, but none of my roms have music...or sound, for that matter...is it just my emulator?

[JohnnyNemesis]

That's what I meant when I said that. And that's real fuckin' weird that they have no sound. I dunno what the problem is, 'cause the ones I download from the site I gave you always work fine. Try a different emulator.

[ruroken]

Aye. But Super Slueth is the only one so far that has worked properly. But it's a beta anyway, so I guess they haven't gotten to that part yet. Back to ZSNES or are there any others (snes9x is ghey) that you can think of that are * at least * decent?

[JohnnyNemesis]

I used SNES9x myself. I used it on PC, and now I use it on Mac.

[Mota Boy]

Emulators were invented for one thing and one thing only: F-Zero. Everything else is just bells and whistles.

[yay]

Best without a doubt is:http://romhustler.net/. I've gotten every rom in the world off that site.

In my opinion best emulators are:
Sega Mega Drive/Genesis: Fusion
Super Nintendo: Snesgt
Nintendo 64: Project 64
Game Boy Advance: Visual Boy Advance

They are all top quality emulators all feature packed.

[JohnnyNemesis]

^That one is my second favorite ever. Good call.

[yay]

No problem. In my opinion, that's the only decent ROM site out there, even though they're missing out on some great ROMS due to potential lawsuits :(What most sites have in common is that they don't offer Game Boy Advance/Game Boy DS or Sony PSP roms.

[ruroken]

Alright! Snes9x is infinitely better than I thought, and I have the NES roms you've suggested.
Now, where can I get the Zelda and Super Mario Bros. roms?

[Sinister]

I'll send you super mario allstars + world (one rom) sometime.

[ruroken]

I have it. It's just that I'm incredibly picky and want the crappy 8-bit graphics.

[Homer]

i don't seem to recall having a problem getting it to work with zsnes.

Hmm... I can't really remember why I had to try so many times. But all I know is that it took me 4 tries at it.


Alright! Snes9x is infinitely better than I thought, and I have the NES roms you've suggested.

Like I said: www.emu-russia.net

[ruroken]

Sorry, I didn't see that.
Sweet. Thanks.
Dendy...? Is that what it was called in Russia or something?

[Homer]

There's a link near the top right on the home page that says "English version".

[ruroken]

Thanks.
Hey, Mario isn't jumping high enough to get anywhere. What gives?

[ruroken]

There Is A Fucking Akira Nes Game!!!!

[ruroken]

Any other good games to download?

[yay]

Any other good games to download?If you download a Sega Mega Drive Emulator I'll tell you heaps.

[All About Eve]

Final Fantasy 5 is great if you can find it. Super Mario RPG is good for a classic, too. There are a bunch of others, but I deleted a lot of mine.

[Homer]

^ Finaly Fantasy 3 (6) is better. Everybody knows that.

[All About Eve]

Duh. Five just wasn't released in the US, making the download worth it. Oh, and you'll need a translating patch. And a patch applier.

[Homer]

Huh? Since when wasn't it released in the U.S.? I don't remember having to get a translation patch with the ROM.

[All About Eve]

Wait, you're not thinking 5 is the one with Cecil, are you?

[JohnnyNemesis]

Final Fantasy 2 (U.S.) is way better than Final Fantasy 3

[Homer]

Wait, you're not thinking 5 is the one with Cecil, are you?

No, I'm talking about the fifth one. I forget the guy's name, but he has brown hair... and that basically all I remember about him.
