    How about being able to access your old save game files that wouldbe otherwise locked to the cart?

    @geoffcbassett: This is exactly what my first thought was. Why recreate 80+ hours of still unperfected FF6 when I can just plop the cart into my comp.


    This also is a much better workaround to trying to comfort yourself about the eyebleed that you're liable to get playing really old games on new TVs that are "too big" for them.


    If when he's finished with this project his walkthrough is good, I'm definitely going to seriously consider doing this myself. I have most of my old carts, but keeping the consoles hooked up to TVs that they look bad on isn't that great a solution. Plus my wife disapproves of my plethora of consoles splayed about the entertainment center. This guy is awesome for this.

    @Mardoch: You're saying the battery on your FF6 (FF3) cart hasn't died yet?


    SRM files on PC (and their equivalents on the wii) are much more likely to survive for the long haul than the ones on the cart.

    Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

    I've kind of wondered why this kind of thing hasn't already been done more often.


    Obviously I'm personally incapable of doing so but I would've thought it'd be an obvious thing to try?

    Cool to see more of this, but like I said in the last story, NEStopia has an NTSC mode with scanlines, color bleed, NTSC artifacts, etc to make it look like a TV. You can even set the curvature of your virtual screen to make it stretch like an old curved CRT.


    It's open source too, so the makers of Stella could just look at its source code instead of recruiting a team of CS majors :p

    THIS JUST IN: Emulators properly upscale old games.


    I hope you guys didn't pay those kids for this. Thats like the "Pay us $45 and we'll install the drivers for your graphics card" scam my friend used to run at Best Buy.

    lmao and people complain about Wii games looking like crap.

    This was the biggest game of 1982 and it looks like someone took a **** on the screen.

    There have been NTSC filters and whatnot on many emulators for a long time.


    The best option if you're going to emulate is without a doubt to buy an old TV and set her up as a secondary monitor with s-video on your video card. I mean just $30 on craigslist and you've got yourself an ideal emulation display.

    This reminds me a lot of the incredibly cheap 2-player mode for Super Mario Galaxy. Holding the helpless enemy under Mario so that Mario can kill him and everything like that.


    Although this is incredibly awesome. It would just have to be cool to play like this.

    Between that and recording in real time, it's not as easy as it looks.

    Woah, awesome father! I don´t agree with whoever said the kid is going to be bored by the graphics cause good games are always good, and if she is the daughter of a gamer she knows it already!


    Beautiful arcade machine. When I have kids I´ll try to make stuff like that too. I´m currently building my own arcade machine now but I could make one for my kids too (when I have them). Props to him!
