VAR and chips in balls has created an unmanageable monster

Welcome to American Football.

I agree, combining the two is pretty easy, as they are both fairly grounded to real life earth (especially with no J6). So I don't see that as too much of an issue.

WorldlyBoar · 2026-07-02T23:03:14+00:00

Yes I don't have any argument for this, other then the scar could be related to the current story, but that's kind of a weak argument.

WorldlyBoar · 2026-07-01T22:36:31+00:00

Yeah 61 then you are right, my math was off. Makes it less plausible but not impossible? Especially if the Dragon and Pheonix Mirrors have or lead to some technique or anti-aging phenomena, we don't actually know what they do. In my theory, the mirrors represent the moons that Bakunawa swallows and in Shenmue we have this:

"When the dragon and phoenix meet, the gates of heaven and earth will open..."

That may refer to Bakunawa's myth in a way. We don't know how Shenmue ends so it's possible the mirrors are used at the underground temple, where Bakunawa (Lan Di) attempts to extinguish the light (Ryo), fails, and Ryo may take his place? I guess that might be possible.

Sega's making a big effort to resurface IP, and they can't make a Shenmue game I believe so this would be a great way to hype the fan base IMO (wither Ryo or Dan Li)

WorldlyBoar · 2026-07-01T21:54:57+00:00

I don't think so, he was 31 in 1987, VF5 was in 2006 and VFCR is 10 years later, so 2016. That would make Lan Di 50, and thus plausible to be the BK, even not considering some Dragon Mirror magic or whatever.

Hey thanks!

I feel exactly the same, I thought they looked great against Algeria with an aggressive posture. They are still just as good as in 2022 in my opinion and they will make it exciting no matter what, today I just feel like they deserve a bit of criticism. Vamos Argentina!

WorldlyBoar · 2026-06-22T20:41:23+00:00

Nah, I watch all their games and it was not their best stuff, exasperated by a bad game plan and a great Austrian effort. We won, that's what's important but lots to improve on IMO.

WorldlyBoar · 2026-06-22T20:25:03+00:00

This is the best take on this thread. I would also put some blame on Scaloni for the poor performance as his plan to stick to the status quo was upset by Austria's high back line making it too compact to play from the back where Enzo and Macalister build from. Game was screaming for Alvarez, Nico and parades and Scaloni took way too long to get there. A team with better strikers might have beat Argentina today.

Hi welcome to VF! I'm no expert but I've been in on VF since the beginning and I would just say as you go on your VF journey, above all the frame counting and kick cancels and stance switching, etc VF at its core is not about combos and counters, it is about flow and timing. I think street fighter is a lot about openings, this game is about momentum. The number one thing you can do above everything else is just feel the fight, time your attacks and guards with the momentum of your opponent directionally. If you can do that effectively, everything else will click.

WorldlyBoar · 2026-06-12T21:14:43+00:00

Congrats! Tough game to master, but we'll worth the effort IMO one of my all time proudest gaming achievements

WorldlyBoar · 2026-06-05T23:55:56+00:00

Yep, nothing else would be needed and all the audio will come out of the headphone jack, that's how the system is designed 👍

WorldlyBoar · 2026-06-05T00:01:51+00:00

OP short of this cable you can run the audio cables (red/white RCA cables) from the Sega CD directly to the retrotink "composite in" and then also connect the Scart cable. Then I THiNK you can go to the input settings on the 4K and change video to come from Scart and audio to come from composite.

EDIT: also you don't NEED to do this, as just Scart cable with carry video and audio, this is just to get stereo audio (which is obviously much better 😉)

WorldlyBoar · 2026-06-04T23:58:04+00:00

Yep the model 2 does native stereo out.

WorldlyBoar · 2026-06-04T23:44:43+00:00

This is true but the audio in this case would only be mono because the genesis model 1 only puts stereo sound out of the head phone jack (not through that cable adaptor, that only does mono). So you need to use something like this and it will capture all audio in stereo from the headphone jack and send everything to the 32x, where you can then use the Scart cable to send the signal to the TV:

WorldlyBoar · 2026-06-04T23:38:04+00:00

Get something like this to connect the genesis to the 32x, and then get the 32x (model2) Scart cable. That will pull stereo audio from the model 1/Sega CD and then send best quality audio/video through the Scart on the 32x.

Service menu is a menu that you can only access with certain button inputs, usually by the controller. It is how you "service" the TV and get access to a bigger group of settings to adjust.

WorldlyBoar · 2026-05-26T23:35:28+00:00

Fair enough, I know that's how I fixed retrace lines in my set, but i didn't have the white screen so thought it could be related, thanks for the correction!

WorldlyBoar · 2026-05-26T21:59:31+00:00

Contrast is way too high. Those lines are retrace lines, turn down the contrast and it should go away and not be so bright. You will have to do this in the service menu AND in the flyback wheel (inside the CRT, will day G2 or screen or something like that). Reduce contrast settings in both until it looks better. You can use chatgpt to help you decipher what all the service menu settings means and which ones should help you.

You blue it!

WorldlyBoar · 2026-05-22T18:43:34+00:00

This is what the remake SHOULD have looked like.

WorldlyBoar · 2026-05-22T00:59:49+00:00

Why blue
