Kilazar posted:Got a quick question in regards to the GC gameboy player. Since it is easy for me to find cheap one's local with no startup disc, will the GC accept a burned copy? Or do I need to bight the bullet and just search for one that actually has the disk. Well, fwiw, modding a GC with a xeno gc modchip is extremely easy, even for noob solderers.

I injured my right hand a few years ago and steady is not something I can do. I can barley sign my own name when required. That will hopefully be getting fixed in the next month. Getting a "ganglion cyst on the dorsal wrist" removed. If I don't find a GC and player by the time I am recovered, I may then consider pursuing this!

Video Power once mentioned that a kid won a SNES with Super Mario Bros. 4, leading me to believe there was a fourth Mario game that the USA didn't get until I searched for it on the internet years later.

Well during my heady Bay Area years my first real job was working online/offline for GamePro; then I moved over to Ziff Davis and did things for nearly all their mags for a while, back when they still had the whole lineup. Then I moved to Houston in order to edit Newtype and now I just freelance translate all day.

I'd love to do design for a video game magazine. I grew up tracing covers & layouts from Nintendo Power, I guess I always wanted to be a magazine designer but didn't realize that was a job until I stumbled into it.

For anyone else with SD2SNES, is there a more reliable firmware version that 0.1.4a on sd2snes.de? Top Gear 3000 doesn't start and Momotaro Dentetsu Happy stops at a "SPC7110 Check Program" screen...

As far as Top Gear 3000 goes, do you have the DSP4 dump on your SD card? It doesn't come with the firmware ZIP, so you need to track it down yourself. For your other game, the SPC7110 isn't supported yet and that game is specifically listed on the incompatibility list.

Oh, I sorted all my ROMs by chipset and forgot I didn't already separate out the ones the SD2SNES didn't support. Thanks for that though. I remember reading about needing a DSP4 dump already, but I forgot to do it. Thanks for that knowledge.

Christmas was such a mixed bag when I was a kid. My dad would by SNES games for us, which was really nice, but he wouldn't necessarily listen to the ones we asked for and just bought whatever. Sometimes it worked out great, like when we got Uniracers. Sometimes it didn't, like when we got Daffy Duck's Martian Missions. He sure had a way of getting me games I never knew existed, like Claymates. Good times.

Well, I've gotten my first package of stuff from Game Stop. Not only did I not get any original cases, they sent me five cases in a package of 16 games. Worse, they screwed up the order and sent me Oni and Kessen 3 for the Shield and Nano Breaker. At least those two were at the bottom of my priority list.

For 16 games, I got 15 generic cases without even a printed label. Thankfully the games themselves are in paper sleeves so I can just toss the boxes which all look the same. Activision Anthology did come with the original case/manual.

Got my package from RGBurgler and I rather like your kitten stationary! Also thanks for the game! I should get my hands on my order from Gamestop on Friday but judging by the weight UPS gives me I'm expecting games in paper disc sleeves. I'm looking forward to the how to make proper covers post!

Do you want to see what it looks like for a man to pack up 90% of his gaming collection in preparation to sell because he needs to buy a new computer, as well as pay for two Master's degrees? See here:  Don't fret! I'm still warranted to be in this thread. I'm not selling everything. In fact, I'm still keeping the cream of the crop in my collection to play for years:   (This also doesn't take into the 100+ virtual games I own that are impossible to sell.)

You're basically the best person fyi So I got some interesting packages lately. One was wrapped in brown paper, which, when unwrapped..  Wait, I don't remember ordering a phone, I have a phone, and I am on T-Mobile anyway, what is this, I don't understand, did I make a drunk decision on the internet? Let's flip it over.  Holy poo poo I finally have friends hell yes I'm accepted but why are they sending me phones, I still am confused, I guess a second android would be cool for a media remote or something though, let's have a look inside...  Sweet mother of god it's an SLG3000! It wasn't a phone after all! Thank goodness. [you're a good dude thank you for this, I can't wait to hook my DC up to it, but I'm rearranging right now and can't at the moment] e. Also Vrikkian I wish I could help out and buy some of your lot, but I am broke as gently caress right now, and coming soon is the season of hemorrhaging money so people will love me, sooo Code Jockey fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Nov 15, 2012 |

Going back to dreamcast region swapping, does anyone actually know where you can still find DC modchips? I don't want to deal with boot discs (In truth I don't have a single optical drive hooked up to any of the three PCs in house) and a mod chip that just takes care of it for me would be ideal.

Is anyone familiar with AV Modding a NES Toploader the "proper" way by any chance? I get a significant amount of conflicting information from Google, so I wouldn't mind a guide (or a link to one) from someone who knows for sure.

Anything you can see in the first two pictures are for sale, but I know it's hard to see the spines. I'll try to get a full list up soon, and post on SA Mart. In the interim, if there is anything you can make out that you know you want, throw me an offer via PM so we don't have to clutter up this thread if possible.

Here's your strange video game fact for the day: in its final year Nintendo sold 30,000 Famicoms. That year was 2004, twenty-one years after it was introduced.

I'd feel like an rear end putting it on eBay instead of just giving it to a goon who could use it. Glad it got there in one piece! Random Stranger posted:Here's your strange video game fact for the day: in its final year Nintendo sold 30,000 Famicoms. That year was 2004, twenty-one years after it was introduced. I'm kind of annoyed it was pretty much gone from store shelves in the US in 1996 but could still be bought in Japan until Kerry was running for President. I'd think it was more popular in the US than in Japan!

R-Types and R-Type Delta are among the casualties Ooh, yeah I forgot about that. This probably brings up a good point on virtual/digital games: If the publisher/developer/rights go out, then yeah you lose out on more people playing that game. With physical stuff, you can resell it, or buy a copy from someone reselling (thankfully, most of these games are just .isos of original PSX ones) But you can see a case here why some of us aren't so hot about digital purchases. I think I still have Delta on my PS3. I should sign in with my PSP and see if I can even grab it from the download history.

triplexpac posted:A friend of mine is in Japan right now, taunting me with images of his purchases Niceeeee, how much did that run him? From what I understand, boxed copies of Famicom/SFC stuff aren't hard to come by and are for the most part inexpensive, but if you're stuck in the US you then have to deal with the joys of shipping fees. For a bundle of SFC games I recently ordered off eBay, I had to pay more for shipping than the games themselves.
