NEC PC-9801

Better?

God damn it. I need to figure out how that shit works so I can get my hands on one of these slick devices.
Damn japan for having the last remnants of good technology.

That's why you use a middleman export company

Much.

Same. I have a ton of PC-98 roms but I have no idea how to get anything to work.

Clint from LGR did a video on some Japanese imports yesterday. Muh e-celebs. He used Noppin to get things sent over and seems happy with the results. I've heard others having good results with Noppin as well.

Shipping costs and times tend to be pretty considerable across the board when it comes to this sort of thing, though.
Maybe there are some better deals to be had.

Also, dithering is best fetish.

Posting video of Reviver, the Japanese King's Quest programmed/designed by the eventual co-designer of Omega Boost 12 years later. It's one of the more innovative and underappreciated J-PC games I can think of. Skip to about mid-video to see the game in action; the random noises are environmental sounds, but Reviver has a soundtrack too.

Might as well spread news about Tokugawa Corps.'s latest project, the Neo Kobe project for collecting good, usually installed versions of J-PC games ready for use in emulators and/or for copying to correct floppy media: https:[email protected]/* */_kobe_team

The PC-98 set's taking much longer because the organizers are installing and checking for best possible rips of games, and this machine has a ton of those. Once finished, this will be the most accessible English collection of games ranging from PC-8001 to PC-9821, not to forget Sharp/Fujitsu files. MSX files are easy to elsewhere.

Have some nice PC-98 Touhou music, fresh from ffmpeg.

Any idea where else to get them? I'd rather not have to pay a middle man but the prices on the US ebay are ridiculous.

Holy, wow.

Might as well make an Atari thread.

Atari games are dope too fam.

What's the problem? it's fucking videogames.

One order of PC-98 games coming up. If you want to find individual titles this is the batch to use. Much love to the user who uploaded this months ago.

Already posted it up here
user, with an emulator added as well.

thanks

Fuck me up, everyone who even knows about the PC-98 will be fuckin gone by the time I get around to playing em. I just have no time to play VNs and it fucking HURTS.

I haven't felt this excited about games since around the start of the gamecube era although there's one thing I'm worried about, I checked around some translated games for fun and it seems Farland Story 5 has serial code protection although the website gave away the code, is there a list with the rest of the serial codes for other games if there's any?

Please try to free yourself of the need to treat your games as work.

For what purpose? Their industry is dying, their literature is mediocre, their films aren't as good as eastern and western european films. Better learn greek, russian, or latin.

Nah kill yourself retard.

I bet your parents bought you your video games you fucking loser. I had to work for my vidya!

seconding this, suicide is a very good option for that user

Can relate to this. My but female cousins got naked in front of me all the time for free. I think that was part of the influence that made me the great person i am today :^)

...

yes, the backwards grunting you speak is absolutely useless.

...

I love these things. It makes me feel like there was a whole other dimension running alongside my own while I was dicking around in DOS.

You need to understand Russian to truly understand Dostoevsky and Pushkin and watch Tarkovsky without focusing your eyes on the bottom of the screen.

Poetry can't be translated.

Also PC 98 fucking sucks, DOS games were already popular in the mid 80's, European and American computers have more games and they need no translation.

pc98 games are much better than dos games. quantity is not quality, my slavic spudmind

I dunno, but it is so comfy it's almost supernatural. I feel at peace when looking at cute 80's style anime girls and dithering. It's so peaceful I feel like one with the universe and I could melt away.

I think it has something to do with how crisp and regular pixel art is. Even more so when you're looking at a dithered matrix. Tileanon knew what was up.

...

Give me a list of the top quality shit. So many games that I don't even know where to start.

2hu is a great start.

Fuck those games, I'm talking VNs and shit.

Sorry I don't know ching chong. I just stick to action games and shooters.

Play an Alice Soft game you homolord.

I used fromjapan for my x68000. Sent it snailmail because it was 8kg. Took 4 months to arrive but everything was fine.

Also, they're willing to put a low customs value on the forms for you, which is a godsend for me because our customs officials are extremely enthusiastic.

Also if you're in the US, there's another company that circumvents import taxes by shipping directly to their US storage facility.

vidya isn't work, getting to play all of them is.

Where is the full image?

I'm fine with each era having their own style but THAT FUCKING FACE is fucking INEXCUSABLE HOLY SHIT
HOW DO YOU FUCK UP THAT BAD

I remember that Animahjong game. The animation is great, but I suck at mahjong so I never got far.

bump

Did Jotaro punch her in the face?

Maybe this will make up for it.

I've seen better, but that "classic pink line is a vagina" style is great. Always loved seeing that shit pop up.

This

What a baller looking system too to top it off.

If someone wanted to make a 3D game that uses low-fi pixel texture with dithering, how would go about making the dither shading dynamic or at least appear dynamic? I have a couple of ideas about it but I'm not sure if I'm thinking about it right.

Reminds me of these old animated sailor moon gifs. I think it was mostly sailor jupiter, and I could only find them on some shit gallery years ago.
Man that was some top tier bate material back then, before my dick grew numb to lesbian and bondage porn.

Also I found a couple more scenes from Star Platinum. Apparently that's not just an awkward angle or something. That was the look they were going for.

Use a post-process shader to reference the 16 best colors to use for each frame from a 12-bit gamut.

...

My files came out all wrong and looks like the alphabet Pokemon.

Pic related, I clicked on the read me on the emulator and it has shit like this? Also all I get on running the emulator is a black screen.

Do I need to download it again or is that mega link fucked up?

Open in WordPad instead and chose a different character encoding

That readme should look like pic 1. And the emulator with no floppy disk or hard disk loaded should look like pic 2.

Try extracting the files in Japanese locale with 7zip.

Hot

Games look great but honestly, if you're not into dungeon crawlers or visual novels all that much this isn't for you.

Rance is great.

I think this is PC-98.

I changed the language to Japanese in 7zip but still got the same results.

Change system locale
