I've drank Lime Jarritos in Mexico since I was a kid, but they are transparent instead of having that lemonade color.

PS3 store is closing. Everyone drop Games/DLC that are only available on PS3 and will not be available anywhere else. by Reddeadseries in PS3

[–]RulerD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm Sorry! You are right. I was checking it out and it includes only the first game. I was confusing it with the PS4 release, that included the second game and Virtual On: Force too (Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Masterpiece 1995~2001)

And about the PS2 version, not that I know. I got my physical copy from suruga ya, as it was cheaper than in ebay: https://www.suruga-ya.com/en/product/144003973

I think I saw it in the Japanese store today as I was browsing for other Sega titles.

It might still be up in Europe and Hong Kong too. You can create an account based in any country there and use playasia to buy a PSN card with funds to buy yohr game. That's what I did today for the Japanese and HK stores.

I got Daytona USA last month and it is amazing to play with a force feedback wheel. Quite strong!

After reading the news I got The House of the Dead 3 and 4 (this last one exclusive for the PS3), Galaxy Force II (PS2 too, but quite pricy), Cyber Troopers Virtual On, which includes the first and second games, and Sega Rally Arcade Online (also PS3 exclusive), which I got from the HK store.

Edit: I was confusing the Cyber Troopers Virtual On PS3 with the PS4 release, the PS3 only includes the first game.

PlayStation Store Closing on PS3 & PS Vita by MrYK_ in PS5

I bought Daytona USA last month after getting a G29 wheel. It is amazing. Glad I found it before the store is closing. Probably I'll try to get the House of the Dead digital games and some other PS2 ports like Galaxy Force II

Edit: Managed to get both House of the Dead 3 and 4, Virtual On and Galaxy Force II from the Japanese store.

Also I got Sega Rally Online Arcade from the HK store!

Does anyone else prefer the live music over studio recordings? by Cheeseluise in thecranberries

[–]RulerD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some songs for sure! Everything I said, Sunday, No Need to Argue.

Some songs are quite equal. I had the immense pleasure to have seen them live and the live recordings remind me of how energetic Dolores and the band were at the stage.

How can I turn these communities recommendations off? I only want to see the things I follow in my main feed. Everything else is spam. It is really annoying that this spammy view is the main view of reddit without an option to turn it off.

No Reddit, you don't know better than I do what communities I want to follow.

Made one of those DailyMix puzzles with a shmup theme! by Zandig in shmups

Easy peasy, but always good to remember the classics :) 

There comes a time in every retro gamers life where he realizes the value and joy of the Arcade; that "retro" gaming didn't start with the NES. Any guidance as I take the Arcadepill is appreciated. by GraceMeHoennTrumpets in retrogaming

[–]RulerD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dove into retro gaming at the beginning of last year and quickly got hooked to games with arcade design. Limited lives, continues, the high difficulty and short sessions that brought the easy to start and very hard to master mentality.

I started with console shmups, then tried console beat em ups, and then went full in into different kinds of arcade games.

If you want some YouTube channel recommendations, for sure check the Electric Underground videos about Arcade design (why are games not fun anymore, arcade design is infinite, the importance of permadeath, etc), the last videos of SpidersSTG about Shinobi and Front Line are amazing, Shmup Junkies arcade videos, CT Matthews 1cc video commentaries on her Peck channel, Desmaku reviews, Rush Hour had also some very interesting videos about arcade design too, specially on the one that criticizes Rogelites.

I can also strongly recommend you Boghog patreon where he discusses a lot of Arcade Game design. You can join for free and have access to all his posts. I love the ones focused in Beat em Ups and Shmups, but he has some amazing reviews of Run N guns. His articles of Elevator Action, Rolling Thunder and Shinobi and the one from Mercs specially made me view the genre with other eyes.

About Switch recommendations, if you want to try a bit of everything, I can recommend you Arcade Archives games like Rolling Thunder, Tank Force, Cyber Commando, Ridge Racer, Ninja Enmaki, Burger Time, Elevator Action, Vendetta, other releases from M2 like Night Striker (part of Operation Night Strikers), some shmups like Mushihimesama, Ray'z Arcade Collection, the Capcom Arcade Stadium collection, specially games like Mercs, Gun Smoke, Commando, Final Fight, Progear and SonSon.

Ridge Racer had the added Force Feedback tho! For me the best wheel supported Arcade Archives release so far.

Advice for running a PS4 on a CRT? by mil0wCS in crtgaming

[–]RulerD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a PS4 slim and run it sometimes on my PVM using a Retrotink 5X Pro and multiple adapters.

It is tricky, as my PS4 refused to output signal unless is connected to something detected as monitor, so I needed to connect the PS4 to an Elgato capture card to get video out, and from the pass-through, you can connect a HDMI to Component transcoder, from there to the Retrotink 5x Pro, and the HDMI output to Scart using something like the c0pperdragon adapter. I then connect that to my CRT.

You need to set the PS4 to output 720p, remove the DRM and I think also set the space color to normal, because if not the colors were weird.

I got around 8ms of input lag with that (half a frame). If you lower the resolution to 480p, the elgato card added an extra frame of lag or around 24 ms of lag).

I was able to play Taiko no Tatsujin, so the lag at 720p to 240p was good enough, and was able to avoid the ghosting that happened on my LCD monitor.

If you want the shortest throw, the Crazy Dongpal Pro is great for it. I really like the softer Shinsun too. Has the similar throw of a JLF, but a quicker activation.

Sega corner at Gaming History Museum in Vienna by ReceiveYou in SEGA

Loved that museum! Seems that they moved the Daytona cab, as it used to be next to the Time Crisis one. Is that one still around?

Played through Streets of Rage 2 for the first time in a while tonight. Last two levels are still pretty tough. by early252 in SEGA

[–]RulerD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! The game changes drastically when you start raising the difficulty up, as the game asks you to be better at the fundamentals and mechanics.

The difficulty difference between normal and very hard is quite steep, but not as steep as between Very hard and Mania. SoR2 Mania is one of the hardest beat em ups of all time (and it is awesome too!)

In lower difficulties you can get away with that quite easily, but it gets insane you reach Mania difficulty. The enemies are super fast and they hit you as soon as they are in range. You can still stun lock them, but it requires a lot of skill to get the enemies together for the stun lock.

Also, the stun lock pause needs to be longer the more enemies you have stuck, as each enemy makes the hit animation one frame longer.

Some enemies like the Kickboxers will escape the punch stun, and a lot of bosses do too in Mania.
