Some Lightening Force on my KS8000 via OSSC 5x!
It's a cool game with a fun combat system. In my opinion the game kind of gets boring after a while though.

This level looks so good in RGB.

Japan exclusive action game. It's a total B-tier game tho with polish on the level of a standard Telenet title or something, lol. Still, it's charming.

Sounds like my kind of game.

Not that interested.
Unless it's a game I must have immediately or I see it for an exceptionally low price, I prefer to just pick up Japanese games that look interesting while I am there. I'll keep an eye out but I probably won't get it until I get to the point in my sickness where I've decided to buy every Mega Drive game ever released.

front mission gun hazard
Phenomenal. Love the polygonal work in the animated gif. Simple polygonal characters can be very charming.

Shining Force III is a wonderful game.
(now bear my arctic blast)
I never played Scenario 2 or 3.
How hard is that to get going on official hardware?Laevateinn

If you want the fan-translations, you will need some kind of mod. I am currently using a Rhea but I have one with an old school mod chip as well. I don't know if those are even still sold. I think there's also a way to hot swap games but that's not a risk I'm willing to take.

I have an Action Replay if that'd help. Would I have to rip the discs and burn them or something?

You need to download the translation patch, put your discs in and run the ISOMaker program, then burn those ISOs. If you have a way to play burnt discs through Action Replay, you're set. I'm not sure if that's possible though.

I've never tried, to be honest. I think it works on Sega CD, but never tried with my Saturn. I have a system from 1996, I'd hate to risk bricking it. (I've had it for 20 years.)

PSN FF7 from psp go 240p over component to BVM (not as sharp as a ps1 or ps2 but pretty good for a PSN title)

A random one from Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (Mega Drive J):
As per usual, OSSC LineX3 on my LG monitor.
Great pic. I spent so much time with this game back in the day!
Thanks! ^_-
As for myself, I literally discovered the game again in more recent times.
Back then, I used to have - incoming blasphemy - my PAL Mega Drive hooked up to my Commodore Amiga's monitor... Through composite. In my opinion, SSFII isn't as visually impressive as SFII Plus, on the MD, but with that configuration it just looked garish and horrible, so I dismissed it pretty quick. Until I got back at it ages later - after I started collecting again - and had the chance to appreciate its aesthetics with a more appropriate setup.
The port shows obvious limits, but it can also look very pretty.

Testing out my HD Retrovision Genesis cables on my Toshiba CRT and I'm very impressed!
Somehow it seems to me that Streets of Rage 2 is our go-to title when we want to showcase the scanlines on the Megadrive/Genesis...
Some time ago I wrote about the various color hacks and this is one of them, it adds more "neon" type of color scheme to the whole game which IMO really fits its theme well.

This whole thread is a 56k attack.
Here's just a quick pic of Ninja Ryukenden II running on my RGB AV Famicom. I don't actually remember if I've shared this photo already, but it's one of the rare good shots I've taken with my current cellphone where you can see the whole monitor and the game image well so here it is.
also, this is the pic I post when I want to describe the NES RGB in action

As in Life Force Salamander, that I had on the NES? I had no idea there was a second one. Welp, I know what I need to track down now!

This is my first try at this!
Salamander 2 - Sega Saturn - Sony 32" CRT / S-Video.
Any chance you can tell us the model number of that CRT?

Not sure if these will work (they worked in preview) had to use google pics links due to photobucket nonsense.
Anyway - NESRGB + FM on 1080p Samsung F8000
Yep, the sequel to Salamander / Life Force. It was a 1996 arcade game, and released on Japanese PlayStation, Saturn (Salamander Deluxe Pack) and later the PSP (Salamander Portable).
I'll try later, it's not easy to get a look at the back.

Just a few quickie mobile photos from my Saturn using RGB through Framemeister:
X-men vs SF
Layer Section
Also one from Rondo of Blood through the Wii using D-Terminal. I can't seem to get very good photos of this game for some reason, it looks fantastic in person though.
And finally, testing out a DS Lite i picked up for just 1400Y. It's a pink one... but it was basically brand new, no marks and not even a cracked hinge!
Very pleased with it since my original one is shall we say "aged" and my other options for playing GBA are all quite dim.
X-men vs SF
This belongs in an old thread about awesome 16bit skylines!

Just the first boss.. turns out it's hard to play this game well while looking for photo ops!

I think it's a knock-off Super Famicom (and if Sakura loses, he tosses the control pad, lol)

I just finished Valis II for the X68000. It took a bit to get into (basically finishing the first stage which was terrible) but I ended up loving it. It's a lot simpler than Valis 3 and is a cross between an action platformer and a shmup.
It also has great Engrish.
uhmm.... it also has this...
The best part is the "45 minutes of visual story"

TecToy just release a new cartridge with the original Wonder Boy in Monster World converted to Monica comic book characters.
I take some screenshots from the game running in my original Mega Drive with a 14" CRT TV vs the same game running in Retropie default configuration in a LCD TV. (yeah, the default Retropie aspect ratio looks wrong).
