The Future Of Gaming Hidden In The Past Of Gaming

I'm playing an old NES RPG named Crystalis. It's pretty good. Although, I've just entered a town and all of the NPCs seem to be SJWs...

I Was Pleasantly Surprised By NullDC (Dreamcast Emulator)

I've been doing mostly retro gaming lately. Mostly NES, SNES, and arcade stuff via MAME. I decided to see if Dreamcast emulation is any good and I was pleasantly surprised. I tried out Skies Of Arcadia and it upscaled pretty nicely to 1080p.

This is good, since I was looking into things like scalers and other hardware solutions to use my actual Dreamcast with my HDTV and not have it look like mud. (Even though they're not plugged in, I still have my PSX, PS2, Xbox, and Dreamcast out along with my 360 and PS3. All of my other consoles like the NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Genesis, SegaCD, Saturn, etc are stored away.) If I can play my Dreamcast library without spending additional money, I'll be pretty happy.

It's a shame old lightguns don't work on HDTV. It pretty much renders the one I got with House Of The Dead 2 (and the game) useless.

I Keep Meaning To Post But I Get Distracted

I know, I know. I never post. Really the only things I've been up to are turning 40 last week and buying USB clones of the NES and SNES controllers....

As you can see (and these are just partial screenshots), I'm going to be busy for awhile...

I actually still have working NES and SNES systems with controllers and games. But I'd rather not use my retro hardware. Plus fan translations of games that never made it to the US and ROMhacks (some entirely new games) have dragged me back to the world of emulation.

Now I just need to find a decent Genesis controller clone or I'll have to dig out one of my originals and get a USB adapter for it.

How I never played Secret Of Mana before now is beyond me.
