Just wanted to say for anyone who might have ordered an SD2SNES from Retrogate, I ordered on October 15 and it just shipped. Also, you'll get a Ukraine Post tracking number probably (RA#########UA), and it was kind of an unintuitive process to find out how to track registered Ukraine mail: http://www.ukrposhta.com/www/upost_en.nsf/search_post?openpage

Anyone put those kitsch-bent backlit Game Boy screens in a Game Boy Pocket?  such a reasonable price for them, but I also kind of want to wait for new colors to get back in stock.

Mill Village posted:I don't have any more SNES and NES games or the systems, so I'm really interested in the flash carts. Do they work with the clone systems? Google is not helping me very much. I've heard of people using PowerPaks on their clones, others should work but I don't have any clone systems. SNES consoles aren't expensive though, so why not buy original systems?

Mill Village posted:Alright, I'll get an original SNES then. The SNES Jr's cartridge slot is too small for the SD2SNES, correct? Untrue - I ordered a SD2SNES from Retrogate with the fancy universal case, which fits both my US model 1 SNES and Japanese SFC Jr. (still on its way though). All USA systems take the larger, square cartridges. The smaller cartridges you're thinking of are PAL/Japan cartridges. But you usually get the SD2SNES as the bare board itself, and you can replace the board in any cart you want with it.

I wasn't discouraging the usage of emulators or anything, because I completely agree, and it's the only way I've been able to enjoy countless bizarre systems. (On an unrelated note though, not only did my Ukraine Post tracking for my SD2SNES start updating already, it's located in KYIV DOPP TSEKH №2 TRANZ SEKTOR which is the coolest name for a post office I've ever heard)

The only system where I've actually played a majority of the games (not including consoles like VB/Neo Geo Pocket that had a tiny library) is Dreamcast, not including any sports titles. I tend to ignore most American only release titles though since they tend to be sports/movie games. I have no idea what percentage of released titles I've played or anything like that, but still definitely the Dreamcast. The SNES comes in second place, but I've beaten so few games for that (I've beaten EarthBound at least once a year since I got it though). My problem is that I usually play about a third of most RPGs because I rarely am invested enough to actually finish the whole thing, plus the vast majority of my gaming consists of Street Fighter/shmups/games you can beat relatively quickly like Jet Grind Radio or Bangai-O/Tetris Attack. That tends to be true of most of my games collection as well, which is kind of sparse compared to others in this thread. e: If anyone has a spare Playstation S-Video cable I would be more than happy to send you $$$ or something fun in trade for one. I can't wait to have PS1 in my collection again  and I'm  about being able to play Space Griffon VF-9 with readable text. Same with an extra grey PS controller.

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...

Kreeblah posted: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.

I got Legend of the Mystical Ninja for SNES from a goon a few months ago, and for some reason it just wouldn't work until I cleaned it endlessly and then let it sit for about a week. Now it works like a charm! I already beat it on a flash cart while my copy wasn't working, though. Anyone want one below eBay rates?  I sold my Kirby Super Star to a goon in this thread today too expect pictures of today's retro haul soon, too!e: DK64 for $30? Is it that rare  Did you at least get the expansion pack with it? Then again I dunno what's it's like to be Australian with the economy and stuff.

Games are a lot more expensive here than in your big sunshine-filled place of single-digit second-hand game prices. Most N64 games go for about $20, average, here. Donkey Kong 64 (or at least the yellow cart, which is the one I got) generally goes for $45-50. Banjo-Tooie starts at $60 and climbs higher due to it being rare in PAL-land.

In between my last post and this post, I got a lot better at Asuka 120%. But what I really want to say is, $123 is a lot to spend on games! IF anyone's looking to spend less but still get in on the free shipping deal, anyone wanna coordinate ordering for two people at once and then splitting it up when it gets here? Would cost about an extra $10 for shipping once it gets to the USA, I guess. Who knows, I might take it back and just spend the money.

Yes don't use UPS at all, they're terrible. Are you asking them to pack your stuff up for you, too? Not only are they way too expensive but for that as well but they do a really questionable job of packing (gonna ask that pic of the Neo Geo doesn't get posted again) If you can't use USPS then use FedEx with insurance and signature confirmation. FedEx is good about getting you checks if they gently caress up your shipment
