RussTCB Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 I also removed some stuff that I'll never play from the originals like Ice Climber & Balloon Fight. I also pulled the original Tecmo Bowl since I installed Tecmo Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 1 hour ago, RussTCB said: I just realized that I got all excited and installed around 35 more. I should probably just remove some I'm not going to play for sure. For example, I installed RBI Baseball, Bases Loaded and Baseball Stars when I'll really only play Baseball Stars. I installed the first Batman-The Movie game and the first Robocop. Maybe I should replace those with Return of the Joker and Robocop 3 if they're better. you will enjoy robocop 3, trust me yeah it would be a shame bricking your nes for a load of baseball games lol. i feel you though, i nearly bricked my ps vita myself trying to get henkaku running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Batman seemed to work for me but I only played the first level. Out of everything I've tried, these are the only ones I've had an issue with, so I'm good with it. I even got a Famicom Disk System game to run that I've always wanted to play, so that was awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 A Rasberry Pi with controllers and retropie included is cheaper + able to emulate NES, SNES, N64, Sega, MAME, etc. Can't understand the appeal of the NES Classic when there are superior (and cheaper) ways to play old systems.

I totally get that. I only own one because my wife happened to spot one it during the holidays. I'm a hell of a lot happier with it after hacking it though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was specifically in regards to the NES classic, not the Switch's ability to emulate. $85 USD will get you a Raspberry Pi 3, 2 controllers, Retropie installed, etc. This setup will play NES games (as well as SNES, Genesis, Megadrive, MAME, etc) with no issues. It might not handle Gamecube games, but that wasn't the point I was making. Regardless, emulation has come a very long way in the past few years. Most games play flawlessly - particularly NES/SNES/N64 Era. Gamecube games actually play very well these days on mid-level hardware (A GTX660 will get you well and truly out of trouble) - as do Wii games, believe it or not!

Positive man, been playing on a piece of shit PC all week. No custom code, we used an Xbox controller and it all just worked. Try and find the latest version of Project64?

I had the same experience a few years ago, but got back into it the past few months and things have been buttery smooth and a ton of fun. Sorry it hasn't worked out for you!

James Bond Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Project64 always ran smooth for me, even on my old piece of junk computer, but sometimes certain textures wouldn't appear correctly. Nothing that affected playability, just the look. GoldenEye, for example, would never load the skies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you do the hack to add almost 700 games. It's VERY easy to do and adds everything you've ever wanted to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Do you guys think they're cutting production on the NES Classic because Switch is getting virtual console soon and they don't want to have two markets collide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
