ah well I think my sony BVM died a while ago so haven't been posting much on here. I think the colors were going off. These were the last pics I took before it messed up. Might look into getting an OSSC if I can get my hands on one...

wondering how long mine will last =/
Love those close-ups

I always thought that the way Bowie's hair falls around his shoulders and his cape ties around his neck makes him look like he has a super doofy smile.

Mega Man X
nope.. Don't know if I am gonna buy another one. I was gonna look for one when I was in Hong Kong for a few weeks but couldn't find anywhere that had any for sale or display. But the OSSC is definitely on my radar now.
Holy shit, that looks great! It's so much more closer to the arcade version in color. Is it easy to apply? I've been wanting to do the Final Fight CD color hack for the longest but never got around to doing it.
Yeah, that's the idea behind the J&M hack - to make it closer to the arcade version. The same can be said of many others of Pyron's color enhancement hacks, they replace some strange MD color schemes with more arcade-style colors. They're fantastic. (although I think sixteen-bit was disappointed for transforming Eric LeCarde's hair color from green to brown in New Generation/Bloodlines.)

Applying them is simply a matter of using Lunar IPS and patching a rom. I use the GoodGEN set and always had success.
e: I don't have the Mega CD so can't comment on Final Fight CD, but I've done plenty of MD/Gen rom patches.
That looks pretty amazing. I didn't even know a color hack for that game existed. Thanks for sharing! Related: is Genesis the only way to go, in order to play NTSC Joe & Mac, right? No Japanese version, I assume.

Yup. Always happy to see it bumped.
Loved the bump earlier, made me want to get some captures. Who here loves anime-style 16-bit cutscenes? Because I certainly do! I took some from Lunar and Valis 3 earlier today, enjoy!

Yes. I love the Saturn but unfortunately I can't get around playing SOTN on it for long due to the slow ass map and menu loading times. Also I do like to play it in english to remember what the various items are.
Which is a shame since I'd want to play as Maria and explore the new areas. Maybe I will tackle Saturn version after my PSX playthrough when it is still in fresh memory.
Those sprite anime cutscenes look amazing, BTails. Is it fully animated?
@TeaJay Thanks for the info. I've yet to play SOTN but was probably going to play the psx version, I'll make sure to check out the Japanese audio with English menus. I hear the Saturn version has a stretched aspect ratio? and a fair bit of slowdown. Shame it got such a lackluster port.

Nope, more like "lightly animated". Relatively still with slight movement here and there. But honestly, if you haven't watched the opening to Lunar the Silver Star on Sega CD, you should DO SO RIGHT NOW! Everytime I boot the game up, I usually sit through the intro because it's less than 2 minutes, and gets me so pumped to play the game.
You didn't warn about the awesome opening music track! That's a nice intro, I like the limited animation look that these games use, the one in Street Fighter Alpha 2 is also good: https://youtu.be/wf20vlxkRzU?t=15s so stylish.

Okay, this gon' be a double post now but have some SOTN from me too.
I was playing a patched version with japanese voice acting and english translation + all kinds of text/menu improvements and it's still one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen.
My modded PSX died and half my collection was imports. Now I need to get another PSone or PSX chipped. Once I do, I would love to play SotN again that way.
Got this cable

Ah, pristine picture quality again. And the price is okay too.

Recently sold one of my PVMs, a 2130QM. Looking to upgrade to a BVM 2010P, but I figured you guys would probably enjoy the pictures:
There's a reset flag hidden in the service menu.
Alternatively, the factory values that I've been told were
BIAS R, G, B: 128 each
GAIN R: 192
GAIN G: 197
GAIN B: 208
Most likely those won't be optimal, though.
I have a PVM that served thousands of hours at a TV station, my values are in the 500-600 range.
Normally, if your blacks are off you fiddle with bias, if your whites are off it's gain.
So either turn down red gain a bit or add some green and blue in equal measure.

How reliable are those wireless controllers for the SNES and how much do they cost?
Love Demon's Blazon too.
They're pretty much perfect. I don't notice any lag and they feel like the real thing. D-Pad is a bit "stiff", but that's probably due to being used to 20 year old pads. I'm picky with controllers and generally don't buy third party stuff, but this is my main SFC pad now.
You can get those beauties at Play-Asia for 31,99$ or slightly cheaper (25,45$) at Aliexpress. Make sure to buy a receiver as well.
Damn... nothing like seeing CRT scanline footage as an animated GIF.

I love the music in that game. Didn't the Genesis version come with two different modes? I remember it feeling like two different games.
That shot looks really nice. I had to get a loose Japanese cart a while back because my US copy suddenly died on me.

Yeah, that's definitely a common issue from what I've heard over the years.
Yup. GS has a straight forward powerup system whereas the original V・V mode has like a Gradius style system.

What patched version are you referring to?
Also, that screenshot is beautiful
