ahh yes it's retro gaming time

You did not beat the game, you annihilated it instead.

>>11959858 (OP)
U DIDANT BAET DA GAEM

>>11960038
I find it hard to take that claim seriously when even official collections of classic games include save states and rewind just like regular emus.

>>11960039
>some intern put in save states to appease mainstream scrubs
>THIS IS OFFICIAL PROOF THAT THE ORIGINAL CREATORS OF THE GAME TOTALLY THOUGHT THAT SAVE SCUMMING IS THE OBJECTIVELY CORRECT WAY TO PLAY THE GAME
Mental illness.

>>11960049
That's just another word for convenience.

Everything in the op is unironically true, especially when it comes to anachronistic stuff like save states.

Zoomers won't spend time playing a game like Castlevania when they can just cheat and use save states to beat it easily, then move on to the next one that's on their list of media to consoom

>>11960049
nobody made that argument. take your meds.

>>11960057
Maybe having to write down elaborate passwords is far too archaic and inconvenient? This is the internet, afterall, and even those passwords can easily be looked up.

>>11960067
Or maybe you'd emulate the version of the game that has battery backups instead, I'm talking out of my ass at this point.

>>11960068
>I'm talking out of my ass
Yes, you are.
but how firm is it?

>>11960072
I'm a tightass in all honesty.

>arcade games set to infinite coins and credit feeding 100 times til the end

And what your solution? Buy an arcade cabinet and use a bucket of coins every time you want to play some game?

>>11959858 (OP)
skill issue

>2 hours looking for bios

are people really this retarded? even 20 years ago all it took was a single google search. maybe 2 minutes of work to find, download and put it in the right folder, tops. now theres countless sites with every bios file under the sun.

>>11960105
>are people really this retarded?
Unfortunately. It's sad too, because the /emugen/ wiki has every single resource you could possible need.

>>11959858 (OP)
Oh I've beaten the game. It didn't matter if I used game saves or not. Guess what? Cheat codes and cheat devices exist, I beat the game that way too!

>>11959858 (OP)

Cheating on a 1st playthrough. The rest is OP sperging out.
>fast forwarding boring ass jrpgs
You are a fool not to do this, and it makes some rpgs harder if you add speed in battles. I can read faster than the children in 3rd world countries these games were also made to be played by.
If you've beaten a game fairly several times already, you can do whatever you want to spice things up or do QoL and there's nothing wrong with that. Also, I don't care if other people cheat, it doesn't affect me.
Let's add one more:
>complaining about how others play with their toys as if you were the authority on having fun (which OP clearly is not)

>>11960105
They don't actually do that, they just click one of the wrong download buttons on their browser that doesn't allow adblockers.

>>11960059
I literally saw it last week.

I use save states on kaizo mario hacks

>>11959858 (OP)
>he doesn't have the bios already set up for most relevant platforms

>>11960174
That's fine, they're designed with save states in mind.

Wait so when I asked about how to 1cc arcade games, I was told to constantly save state and practice, but now save stating is bad?

>>11960242
Always was.

Auto fire? Yep you did not beat the game.

>>11959858 (OP)
i think its worse to see copy monkey shit desu

someone saying they 1cc'd a game then you look up a replay burner and its the exact same route and strats

SAD!

>>11959858 (OP)
video games are disposable entertainment.
it really reflects poorly on you, that you care so much how people consume their time waster of choice.

>>11959858 (OP)
You did not fit in

>>11959858 (OP)
>spending 2 hours looking for a bios file
there's bios packs that have everything you'll ever need, not that I condone that sort of thing.

>>11960413
Luckily autofire is impossible to set up in retroarch.

>>11959858 (OP)
>watch 1cc in youtube
i beated it

>>11959858 (OP)
Soulsfags and Mike Matei poisoned the retro gaming well forever with this retarded meme.

>>11962512
you're really gonna diss my boi motherfucker Mike like that
>>11960174
kaizo Mario is toxic, you can't even mention dode in panga's chat without getting permabanned.

IT'S GAMING TIME.

>>11959858 (OP)
Oh no, some random autist doesn't like the way I play video games! Whatever will I do?

If you loaded a save a single time you didn't beat the game.

>But what if I have a hecking power surge!?

Who cares. Pause the game and leave your console on if you need a break. Don't be a bitch who needs multiple sessions, commit.

>>11959858 (OP)
Playing on an emulator already disqualifies you from having beat the game

I say this unironically
