Don't think we've done a proper /vnt/ event yet, so for this month (running from April 3rd - May 3rd) we are doing a high score challenge for Touhou 6 (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil)!
If you don't have this game, it's pretty easy to find with google or nyaa. I recommend using an English patch.
Very simple to participate - just upload a replay (results screenshot is optional). Make sure the replay is the only file you upload or it won't be attached (will try and fix this soon) Be nice. Don't cheat.
I've played this game a few times over the past few years, but have finally started to try and get decent enough to 1CC (still only on easy with max lives and bombs). I'm sure at least a few of you can beat this with higher difficulties.
Top players will be immortalized on a soon to be added static page.
If someone feels like making OC (not reposting existing stuff) they might get on that page too. Get shooting!

Here's the event for May - it's Mokomo 120%, probably one of the stranger arcade games out there. This was originally developed with the UY license, but only got it for the famicom port - not that it would have really mattered since this game makes zero sense either way. For this we're really running two high score contests, one for each version of the game. Arcade should be on default DIP switches. I've included both the MAME rom (zip) and the english patched .nes file. You can submit scores however you feel like, though a demo (recorded keypresses) or a video is preferred. It should be easy enough to setup MAME or your preferred NES emulator (I used FCEUX) or you could even load it on a real system or a FPGA unit if you're hardcore. Can you make it to the wedding? Because I sure can't.

Here's some gameplay I did of Lum's Wedding Bell. Seemingly the best way to get points is to jump around a ton and hope some item appears. Also you can jump backwards like the original super mario bros which is neat.

Any PC-98 fans here? What's the best way to play PC-98 titles nowadays? Actual machine or emulator? What are some good titles to check out?

Also I heard NEC ported Unix System III and V to PC-98 but I can't find a copy of these operating systems anywhere.

Both good, but I think the Neko Project lacks something I forget.

I grabbed a few a long while ago while looking for good old horror games, i'm sure they're up on archive.org.

Good luck OP, it's a chill aesthetic.

It requires some tinkering around to get it to work with text hookers, but otherwise I usually see it being reccomended since it's more up to date.

As for roms, Neo Kobe probably has anything you might be looking for, just be wary that they are organized by company so you'll need the name of the developer/publisher if you're looking for a specific game.

Same. It's neat how self-contained they were.

It seems like something like that would be a pain to fix if you had to open it up.

I wonder if a sleeper PC build would be possible with one of those things. I've heard there are tons of unused Commodore cases you can just buy off the shelf. I guess it would have to be something simple and heat would be an issue.

I like the keyboard computer form factor. It's actually making a minor comeback with DIY cyberdecks and the Framework motherboard. There's even an Apple patent. I have the C64X with a RasPi 5 inside.

Exploring https://rvfhemp.com/collections/flower and pre roll weed has been an enlightening trip instead of me. The quality and bouquet of these products are impressive, gift a calming and enjoyable experience. Whether I'm unwinding after a crave period or seeking original ardour, hemp pre-rolls plan for a natural choice that I can trust. The convenience of pre-rolls combined with the benefits of hemp flowers liberate them a go-to fitting for off and mindfulness. I appreciate the publicity to squad and honesty of the products, enhancing my comprehensive satisfaction. Greatly subscribe to trying hemp flowers and pre-rolls in place of a holistic and fulfilling sagacity!

What would you do if you were trapped in a safehouse all day? Its pretty well known that OBL had a ton of old 80s Japanese arcade games, hentai, anime, and a DS and gameboy emulator. Everything from Resident Evil to Animal Crossing, Final Fantsay 7 and an episode of Bible Black. Naturally, I decided to play as many of these as possible for ahem "historical research purposes" There are a bunch of old Japanese titles I don't recognize (see pic).

I'm guessing the CIA *spit* removed the game save files for copyright reasons *spit* but assuming I can find them floating out there on the net, what would be a safe way of playing them without getting infected with ancient malware or bugged by the CIA? I do NOT want to be sent to Guantanamo for fapping to eroge.

Have YOU played Atari today?
A great console with simple, but addictive games.
River Raid's a classic; a cool shooter with an interesting fuel mechanic.
Ms. Pac Man on it is still my preferred way of playing Pac-Man on any machine
And boy, Berzerk's a real hoot.
And in terms of shooters, mostly fixed ones, there's no shortage of fun ones.
Phoenix, Galaxian, Demon Attack, Space Invaders, list goes on.
And of course one I can't forget is Asteroids. Classic shooter, the 2600 version's my preferred way of playing it.
Oh, and Yars' Revenge! What a weird little shooter, what buckets of fun it is.
I love my 4 switch Woody VCS.
Speaking of, I think if mobile games were more simple addictive games in the style of 2600 games and less pay-to-win garbage, I would be much more respectful toward them.

You know, that's a surprisingly good candidate. The biggest sticking point is that part of the memory was there being multiple screens and that I fled from an enemy back to the start screen, which would be more like Adventure, but it's entirely possible I made some sort of amalgamated memory.

After all, for the longest time I thought that Contra on the NES had a stage at the end where you control the helicopter after escaping the island, just because I saw my brother and his friend beat it once and then swap in Tiger-Heli right after.

I never spent much time with 7800 games (although I had one of those Flashback consoles at one point with 7800 games on it), but I remember seeing Mario Bros. for sale in a store once as a kid and thinking how weird it was that it existed or an Atari console.

I don't know enough to identify it. That's got me a bit curious now.

>Tiger-Heli
I bought that game on accident a while ago when I was in a game store because I confused it with Twin Cobra due to getting a CD of NES ROMs as a kid that had both of those on it. I don't have anything against Tiger-Heli necessarily, but it wasn't what I was after.

Would anyone here possibly be interested in one of those mechanical keyboard doodads that superficially looks like the 2600 as a homage to it? I ask because it is a very low production run.

I've seen an old X250 and a X240 both going for about 100 bucks and I thought I'd pick it up. I need a cheap laptop for casual use and school and I'd rather spend money on a desktop than burn a hole in my wallet to get a desktop replacement that's about as portable as an old microcomputer. But is the old Thinkpad craze online legit? I'm always suspicious of trends and fads and nothing is more suspect than China bashing fools circlejerking over old machines. I've never owned a Thinkpad but some basic research online and it seems there is something to the hype train but are old Thinkpads really worth it or just a meme? Should I save to buy a newish model? And what's a good old Thinkpad for my use case? I just want something small (14 inches max), portable, and relatively modern and durable that can emulate some older PSOne games and run Linux.

guy who has bought a bunch here
They are nice and comfy, but when people tell you about upgradability and such they arent lying, but also realistically aside from the ram+storage you are unlikely to change much else.
Any i5 series should be good enough if you know what to expect and can lower expectations/optimise workflow well enough. the x250 should be good and better than the x240 since that one has no mouse buttons whereas the x250 does.
I would recommend the x260 as the best modern old one since skylake has great battery, but 5th gen should also be good, also in my experience the x260 has some design issue that causes freezes.

the t480 is a good bang-for-buck as it is 8th gen and thus 4 physical cores + usb-c. I have had issues with wifi on that one though.

the x series is typically 12.5 inch so you'll want a T series for 14 inch. Same again though, 5th gen and onwards is best. I would suggest looking at the screens in any online listings to be sure you get something you're happy with.
1366x768 is standard on a lot of them, if you're aiming for 14inch then imo 1600x900 is a good res to aim for, or 1080p if you cant get that

 No.548

>>547
Thanks anon I'll take a look. The T480 looks pretty good but ideally I want something smaller 12.5 to 14 inch range. I'll take a look at the X260 and see if I can find one at a good price. I've heard keyboard maintenance on the X240 and 250 is a nightmare too.

 No.564

>>546
The X series ones are a lot different build quality than the T beware. Look up a take apart of one of each to see what I mean, the X series skimp out on a lot of good stuff that the T has. It doesn't really matter the 2 inch size difference imo. Also the T ones heat up less than the X and you can generally do more with them.

 No.565

If I had money to burn, I'd get a Frankenpad or a Panasonic Let's Note while the yen is weak. But everyone prioritizes different things.

Out of the different Final Fantasy 11 private servers, I like Valhalla the most.

Valhalla has TRUSTs, 90 level cap, XP gain rate same as retail. Movement speed is increased, all Home Point crystal warps and outpost warps are unlocked. They have some nice extra content like a unique gear augment system, a few custom dungeons, Dynamis D raids are unlocked. Rise of the Zilart, Treasures of AU, Wings of the Goddess expansions are all unlocked and working properly.

So anyway if you are tried of the slow grind to 75 on the other private servers like Horizon or Eden, then come check out Valhalla.

lots of fun stuff lately, players running some custom level 90 dungeons together, and putting custom enhancement enchants on their gear too, which really makes us overpowered. BLU and PLD are gods on this server!
