This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".

Pretty sure he was a premy baby, but whatever.

>>10892703
Oh right, I forgot about that, my bad. Yeah, the fact he gets actually possessed, then hypnotizes himself to make him think he's still possessed is... a decision. I guess it was to mask his nanomachines or something? I can't really remember, but I do know it was partially because Liquid was too much of a wildcard and he needed his plan to execute perfectly.
>>
>>10892703
If everyone and all the wikis get it wrong, what's your basis for that being the actual truth and not your headcanon?
>>
>>10892761
Big Boss in MGS4 says something how they can't transplant someone's will and personality to another's even with nanomachines, then he says under certain conditions someone can be made to act as another and the X button flashback shows specifically Ocelot in MGS2 being taken over by Liquid.

Plus, if the arm wasn't actually taking him over why would he replace it with some robotic arm?

>>10892760
>>10892761
>>10892804
The funny thing is that it doesn't really matter if it was hypnosis or possession or nanomachines, because Ocelot's entire mind and personality was still transformed into Liquid's... so either way it's just Liquid except one explanation is convoluted and confusing.

I have a problem with my "xd2" Quake 1 map. While playtesting, I noticed that something strange was going on.

At first, it was just minor glitches—textures failing to load, walls clipping, or odd camera angles. But soon, things got weird. I'd enter a room, and everything seemed fine, but the moment I turned around, the walls would change. Passages I had just walked through vanished, replaced by solid walls or entirely new hallways. Doors that should have led back to other areas now opened into dark, cavernous spaces that I didn't recognize.

The monsters were another problem. Sometimes they behaved as expected, but other times, they seemed almost sentient. Shamblers walked through walls as if they were air, and sometimes they would freeze in place. On a few occasions, I faced invisible enemies.

I tried everything to understand the problem. I restarted the map, reloaded the game, even rebuilt the entire level from scratch. But each time, the same glitches reappeared, and each time, they seemed to get worse.

One night, in a desperate attempt to understand what was happening, I activated cheat codes and turned on "noclip," allowing me to move through walls and explore the map without restrictions. I hoped this would reveal the source of the problem—perhaps a broken trigger or a misplaced entity. But it only made things stranger.

As I drifted through walls, the map shifted around me. Rooms rearranged themselves, and corridors twisted and turned as if the map had a will of its own. I tried to reach the silver key, but it kept moving, always just out of reach. And when I tried to backtrack, the walls had closed in behind me, trapping me in a labyrinth of constantly changing geometry.

It's not a creepypasta—it's a sort of strange buggy map that reacts in a way I've never seen before.

Cont. from last thread
i now managed to properly install the driver as well as get VMM to recognize it. Problem is that i still dont get a proper image displayed.
its scrolling either vertically or horizontally, depending on which sync cable i plug in.
i was told once the drivers are installed, using split sync cables for a combined sync TV wouldnt be a problem. how do i fix it then?

Only played Risky's Revenge and it was painfully mediocre. The gameplay itself is decent enough, but the level design is fucking atrocious. It's all fucking flat.
>>
>>10892794
Risky's Revenge is like the 2nd worst game in the series, and that map you posted is like the first level, the equivalent of a training area. Later parts of the game get fucking absurd mazes - the two things the series creator can do is 1. awesome animation and 2. stupidly complex puzzles (it's why their second most popular series is Mighty Switch Force).

Here's the only tip that you need.
Every single one of them is a soiboi consumerist kike that doesn't even use the handhelds he gets and think that collecting chink e-waste counts as a hobby.

I have a few very capable chinkhelds but lately all I've been doing is playing PS1 on a CRT with the PSP and the component cable. Looks incredible and I can unplug and go whenever I want. PSP means life, or something.

You gave me a retard idea: ctr chinkhelds. Chinks take old ctrs and make disposable mini tv's with their screens so why not chinkhelds?

The worst problem with oled filterfags is how they brag and cope as a real BVM could easily be replaced. They never admit the fact that they use filters as cope for not affording to play in a PVM.

I'm looking all over for it but I cannot find it. It is scrubbed off the internet. It would be amazing to actually find it again.

but that pixel is valuable gaming history that needs to be documented and preserved on an unofficial fansite running MediaWiki for future historians of videogame industry codebase development because of the limited lifespans of the cartridge and/or floppy disk which holds binary information that could be irreversibly lost had it not been rescued

it lacks the camera target follow mechanic that was introduced in 3 which honestly makes it fairly uncomfy
emulating above 30 fps makes everything wonky as fuck

its a good game what can I say, one of those games you really should play on real hardware if possible
