andyharsh Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi guys, I'm new to the forums here but just thought I'd share a very very real possibility. I don't believe this has ever been done before but correct me if I'm wrong. Has anyone ever attempted to basically network together 2 Genesis or Super Nintendo systems, for online play before? I'm not talking bout X-Band here which I believe only a handful of games it supported, but rather a very unique way of hooking up online. I have a close friend that is involved with the production of some of the flash carts that are being produced for genesis/ snes and other systems. Basically there's an idea in place that would allow you to hook up your flash cart while in your console to your computer and connect up with someone else and play them, straight from the real hardware itself. I have no idea how it works or the details but what I do know is that it is being attempted, and I was just wondering how much interest there might be from tecmo bowl players if something like this came to be? I know there's a lot of people that really prefer real hardware to emulators, and i think this would make the tecmo experience that much better if it could be pulled off. I'm curious as to what you guys think? I myself was pretty giddy with excitement when I heard about the possibility. Anyhow just let me know if you guys have any interest at all in something like this happening, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobbe Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm sure we're all interested in what you're talking about but realistically it sounds improbable/unpractical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyharsh Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Well, I do think it sounds like it is going to happen, but you're probably right about unpractical because the flash carts are expensive and not everyone has a PC near where they'd have their console. I guess it will really only be used by the very hardcore gamers that want to play the game on the hardware it was meant for rather than emulators.

Holds rom dumps3. connects to the internetThis might be attractive to some people and more attractive around these parts if you were talking NES.

Primis Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 To be honest, I personally don't see the point.You can play online over an emulator on a PC (or a Mac I guess) and the emulation is basically flawless. Shoot, the ROMs I play on my DSi are emulated almost as good even. You can buy adapters to use the real controllers with the emus.Emus for things like NES, SNES, and Genesis are very, very good nowadays.

DFM Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 If this were a NES adaptation, I would buy one the second available. The amount of TSB and River City Ransom I would play would be disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
