Ha! Jokes on you, I still use Zsnews.

Happy (belated) birthday Byuu!

BTW Genesis still does what Nintendon't

 

[AnOminous]

Isn't it great to be still alive, Byuu?

Wait, Byuu shares a birthday with Chris-chan? Truly an auspicious day.

is the SNES even worth emulating at this point? Every worthwhile SNES game has seemingly been ported to other consoles at this day and age.

I think it's still worth emulating as it basically allows you to play those games on your PC. It also allows for easier romhacking, if anyone actually cares about that.

Commit suicide in the console development industry?

What's the over/under that Hector convinced an egg to legally change their name to David Kirk Ginder and 41% themselves on a trip to Japan just to make sure the name makes the list?

Jihad on you.

I can definitely see trannies going that far. You know how /r/antiwork started distancing themselves from Doreen's poor performance so he makes a sockpuppet account to defend himself with?

So I can see byuu or byuu's friend Hector convincing a third party to change their name to byuu's and kill themselves so that byuu can appear on the kill list and tie up loose ends. An extreme version of sockpuppeting.

One thing I learned from trannies is that if something is too ridiculous to be true, then the tranny will make it a reality.

It is, largely because the SNES versions of games that've been ported tend to be better for one reason or another.

Lots of games got GBA ports. GBA is two buttons short of the SNES, has a somewhat lower resolution, and all sound + music is significantly worse: SNES had dedicated sound hardware, GBA didn't.

Chrono Trigger and some of the Dragon Quest games got DS ports. These are great on the DS or 3DS itself, but not so much on any other display, for obvious reasons.

Ports of SNES games to other Nintendo consoles are almost always just the game running in an emulator anyway. Super Mario All-Stars on Wii is just shamelessly the SNES rom on a disc.

then there are plenty of random games where the SNES version is just ideal as the go-to version for one reason or another. Like for example, Smash TV is on a whole plethora of platforms, but:

• the game is originally an arcade twin-stick shooter, so it fits the SNES well with it having four face buttons and a D-pad on each controller
• the NES and Genesis versions are visually and audibly inferior, and have cripped controls due to having less than four buttons
• ports of the arcade version have appeared on various Midway compilations for newer systems, but they're not as quick or convenient to jump into as the SNES version
• and of course, MAME isn't nearly as user friendly as most SNES emulators
• neither are assorted computer emulators

So yeah, SNES, it's a system where everything came together just right

Only 1 day to go!

I'm still waiting on a port of Lion's Porno Party to the switch

and all sound + music is significantly worse: SNES had dedicated sound hardware, GBA didn't.

Well actually that was because Square-Enix-Goya changed the instrumentation for some bizarre reason.
There's (non emulator accelerated) music restoration patches for the GBA final fantasy ports.
Also achtually the GBA is technically more powerful in the sound department than the SNES as it has a much faster CPU and you can output whatever you want to the DAC (meaning more channels and sample space)

On the topic of sound, on older machines with dedicated sound chips the audio sounds a lot better than audio in emulators, especially the music. Emulated audio tends to ignore a lot of the minor quirks of the chips, and it has to convert the output the the sound drivers the computer is using. PicoDrive is a good example of these limitations - the audio sounds terrible compared to the actual hardware, mostly because the developers did a really lousy job emulating the sound chip.

In general any system that uses a dedicated sound chip that doesn't go through a software layer or a codec will sound worse when emulated. Playstation game music will sound pretty much the same as it streams from a disc, but you'll get glitches with the sound effects (especially with the emulator PCSX).

The date would still be wrong, exposing the hoax.

Hector and whoever else is involved had no idea the list existed until they read about it on this forum, and they have no idea how to explain it away.

One thing I learned from trannies is that if something is too ridiculous to be true, then the tranny will make it a reality.

That's the core of tranny ideology. These people believe that saying the right words can literally change what is real, no matter how stupid the words are.

I wonder if they'll try to claim that Byuu got a name change while in Japan--conveniently the name of someone who killed themselves on the list around the time that they claimed Byuu killed himself. Keep an eye out for that scheme. It's the only one they'll have left.

 

[What the shit]

Byuu should've killed himself. It would've been better for him since he's so ugly, he'll probably not find a relationship unless something impossible happens.

 

[Noebel]

Byuu should've killed himself. It would've been better for him since he's so ugly, he'll probably not find a relationship unless something impossible happens.

I disagree. Ever seen Jim Sterling? Even that blob gets some action. Wouldn't comment on the quality of said action. But Byu is no Jim Sterling or Ethan Ralph, or Wings, for example. If these can prevail, almost anybody can.

At least do it live on twitch

I'd rather Byuu being alive and revealed himself to face some punsihment. All the while he would have no choice but to explain himself and his reasons for why he was on the farms posting stuff before he decided to commit not-seppuku-like a-real-Japanese-citizen to keep his honor

9 minutes 12 seconds into video. Modern Vintage Gamer was the lead developer in charge of porting over River City Girls Zero from SNES to Switch (later releasing on other systems). They have dedicated the release of the game to Near.

Just thought that was interesting, I haven't kept up on the situation since it first happened. MVG also doesn't mention how Byuu died, no specifics - just he was a big emulation person and he is dead.

EDIT: Started back-tracking in the thread, see @Luigi posted about this. At least the video is new.
