lol awesome I haven't tested this CD backup, but this seems like it should be the right one. archive.org/download/sblive-w-1145 If not, try looking for similar on archive I guess lol

Glad you got something useful out of it lol

I wouldn't get my hopes up. There's only one board, and they already have unpopulated solder points for RF screw terminals on current ones--no plans to make a different board afaik. There's no space for audio inputs anywhere on the board. If you haven't purchased already, the Tink5x might make more sense for you.

I have an "RCA AUDIO/VIDEO/S-VIDEO SELECTOR" that seems old enough to probably be a mechanical switcher only, and uses sliding red plastic rather than LEDs to show the chosen input. By that, I mean loss of audio quality is probably minimal. I found one online with the model "VH911" but I have no model sticker on mine. Of course, it uses physical push buttons on top to select the input, so it may not be ideal for you.

@@jaffa225 There's actually a pretty common one of those on Amazon (at least in the US) that's like the price of a fastfood outing for one, as long as 4-port is fine. But yeah again, doesn't really make sense to go this route if a tink5x would make you equally happy for cheaper. (I'd also suspect tink5x makes NES cvbs look slightly better, but I bet OSSC Pro wins on some other platforms like TurboGrafx-16)

Sonic t. Hedgehog said I'm too slow

holy shit, you live

CRT TV decoders are WAY better than most weird capture devices and doodads from a decade ago. This was just me making do with what I had. If I could somehow justify $300 big ones for a Retrotink 5x it would look sharper and generally better than this.

i concur, i like the blurriness and it's no doubt some games were meant to take advantage of the composite signal's blending because of how a lot of genesis games use dithering as a way to bring out more colors, take vectorman for an example. that game has loads of line dithering for the backgrounds and the foreground platforms and when compared to an emulated screenshot the structure is supposed to have a transparency effect whereas if it wasn't blended it will just be a bunch of lines although i will admit the blurriness in this video does hurt my eyes a bit but however it would be nice to have the 32x's composite signal than the standard "rainbow" sega genesis composite signal it displays

The buzzing is a quirk of the composite signal in general. Other consoles like the Genesis, PC Engine or the SNES present the sams type of noise.

What is your source? Are you using a capture card and a video game console? Or are you recording something with an emulator or native PC game?

@@licentioushowler3400 capture card

@@gamingwolf7895 Sorry, I had a hell of a busy weekend lol Anyway, when you say "black screen", do you mean in TrDrop's UI? Or do you mean after you try to export something?

@@licentioushowler3400 when I put the clip in the software nothing shows up also you got discord?

@@gamingwolf7895 Just try exporting lol This sounds normal to me. It exports as a series of images, so you'll need to import that into a video editor that can turn sequential images into video.

Thanks for this high effort post and excellent explanation.

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful reply. I just... kinda' am not sure if I entirely agree, since my run here is indeed mostly Miyu (switch to Falco like once around 55 minutes just in case things went bad), it is indeed on Expert mode, and--not a brag, but I ended this run with 0% damage to Corneria. I pretty much annihilated this run if I'm being completely honest--only the score/rank was a minor blemish. Do you think I'm unusually good at this game? Or maybe I just got insanely lucky? I honestly don't know, would be nice to have a second opinion.

@@licentioushowler3400 It is a mix of luck and skill, luck for the most part involves the item drops and the "hunters" you fight (by hunters I mean the Mirage Dragon, Hunter Phantron, Tektron and Space Blade... you got the best Hunter selection in this run, the worst is any mix that involves Space Blade) but the skill shows when you can deal with bad situations like having to fight with little to no HP and survive or complete objectives as fast as you can, getting an A or Star rank without doing a lot of speed run strategies (like just focus on main targets while intercepting every now and then some enemies to let the damage to Corneria not suprass 99% or abusing of Nova Bombs to deal with enemies or the Star Wolf... yeah, the Star Wolf pretty much 2 bombs = you win the fight) is already great. Edit: One funny thing about the Battleships, if you intercept them when they're charging the 50% Corneria damage cannon, the battleship won't attack you with it's 3+ Shield point damage lasers as it's systems focuses more on the planetary cannon giving you an easy aproach when HP is not good enough.

@@PikangsFutaba Thanks for the explanation. I never knew people put in this much consideration to approaching battleships, but if you do enough runs of the game, you probably start to notice patterns. I just press the boost button on the first first possible frame and it "works out" most of the time lmao

@@licentioushowler3400 Indeed, with either Miyu and Fay that works 99% of the time without taking a hit from the lasers, but if you have Peppy or Slippy especially... you need to stay moving while aproaching or if the situation allows it, let the battleship start charging the cannon to not worry about it's lasers in the aproach (Fox and Falco is a mixed bag on that, but at least you don't need to move a lot), at this point is very well known that the Pepper Coins/Medals recovers your HP at max but never appears again... while also getting all of them (per-difficulty) unlocks the secret base that enables the homing charge shots that the most known prototype has enabled by default (and doing it on all 3 difficulties replaces Andross shadow in the title screen with Fox's... Normal and Hard modes can take a while because you need 2+ runs depending on the RNG, while in Expert can be done in a single run as long as you manage to reach Astropolis with the 2 characters alive, as in order to pull that off you need to sacrifice your 1st after getting the coin of the side you pick while with your 2nd picks the coin of the opposite side... any of the 2 can pick the 3rd coin on Astropolis that is close to Andross' core), and also getting Star Rank enables the 2 characters you picked to have the Lv.2 Blaster from the get-go... doing that with all 6 characters, the character select screen song is replaced with an oldie but goodie from Star Fox 1.

lol--naw, I don't agree with this at all... first of all, the Japanese version actually has competent and talented voice actors, secondly this game is kind of a mess and does not play very well tbh.

@@licentioushowler3400 Tenchu is a great game

@@jackalhead7433 Tenchu Wrath of Heaven and Fatal Shadows? Sure. This one? Eeeehhh tank controls in 3rd person combat 'anime swordboi' boss fights are rough lol

@@licentioushowler3400 Well Those two Tenchus you've mentioned are made possible thanks to the massive success the first one And the Wrath of Heaven's controls are no different than Tenchu

@@jackalhead7433 Can you explain to me how the controls are 'no different'? In Wrath of Heaven, you have camera control on right stick + a "center camera behind ninja" button, you can move freely in all directions with a walk and run mapped to the left stick and can face your ninja quickly in any direction on a dime, and the speed of the game is cranked up dramatically because of the improved control. I don't see how you can look at differences like these and say "they're the same".

Yeah a bit of a slideshow lol

Star Fox Zero really should have chosen this game as a template. SF64 did not need a remake, it was already the better version of SF1. But this really could shine if it was modernized.

Yeah, long after the "bad dub" and "PS1 jank" funnies wear off, the atmosphere of this game really creeps into your brain. Acquire poached some good artists if nothing else.

lol yeah, probably some competent guy who got roped into the gig somehow.

The best part is I didn't really do anything special to get it like this. This is basically just composite cable into Retrotink at default settings lul. The only thing resembling conscious tweaking was integer upscaling this to 1440p for better compression and bitrate.

Oh, sorry you were using this in hopes that you could find them. : P I found the unlocks to be kind of silly and unfun, so I didn't really ever bother with that in this final version of the game tbh. Some key places that you *might* miss are the satellite (you need to let it be captured), and the big-ass ships that Andross sends out.

@@licentioushowler3400 The satellite, got it.

@@Mac14329 Glad I may have helped. Good luck!

Probably lol--I'll maybe look into doing the repair this summer, free time pending. Will definitely message you if you're interested in the fix.

Understandable; there is a certain level of unsettling atmosphere and liminal nuance to this game, its aesthetics, and level design... unsure how much of it was happy accidents tbh, but I totally know what you mean how some levels really bore into your mind.

@@licentioushowler3400 the only other stage that came close to creeping me out was the last level, but being that it was the final stage, it quickly proved to be more annoying than creepy I got over it. This stage though...even now sometimes when I see the loading screen i flinch. Of course it wouldn't be the last time these games gave me the creeps, Wrath of Heaven/Return from Darkness had the stupid cemetary stage with the undead you couldn't kill without special life draining weaponry...and the freaking zombies that were employed by the manji cult got brought back among them.

@@dethtroy2185 Interestingly, I never really felt quite the same way about Wrath of Heaven--I think the pace of that game is just so much faster and the mechanics so much more arcadey, stylish, and impactful that I never really got to take things slow and just let an atmospheric level kinda' wash over me... ultimately though, those changes were totally worth whatever minor hit in atmosphere for allowing WoH to carve out a unique and polished niche for "stealth action" games.

@@licentioushowler3400 certainly won't deny that, but i guess some aspects are just meant to be creepy if you perceive it that way.

When I was a child I thought my disc had a glitch or something because of that baby crying sound, I didn't think it was meant to be there and it annoyed the HELL out of me so I never replayed this level.

There is a story though... It's just a simpler one. And I don't know how you can look at the planets and think they don't count as stages--they have platforming challenges and puzzles in them lol.

"Yosh"

Wow, didn't think too many young people would care for a game this old. Glad you had a laugh. : )

Still no one has ever told me what was up with the baby sounds.

@@philbecker4676 I used to think it was the gray people's noise. You know the ones that walk weird, and the orange ones that breathe fire.

This is actually the most creative comment I've read so far lol

Yeah it's a her apparently.
