32x related, this trio power supply went back in stock last night but apparently sold out already. http://retrogamecave.com/shop/4577155957/sega-trio-usa-canada/5885731 I was able to nab one so when i do get around to assembling the beast that is Gen+CD+32x I'll feel slightly less disgusted looking at the wires.

I have 3 RGB switchboxes like that, but they have fewer overall outputs. Trying to complete a US Sega Master System collection (about 20 games short) if anyone interested in some trades or something. These pictures are poo poo, I could take more/better.    I don't have an RGB monitor nor have I found one locally, so I'm currently using S-Video on a CRT I found on the curb last summer. Switchbox is this awesome looking sony thing that has modules, some RGB, some Svideo. (note photos are before it was cleaned up)

I also just got Neutopia on the Tg16 that I'm about half way through. Its decent, will probably replay GAW after as I haven't played it in years.

Yeah, I bought several genesis's to get one with an encoder that I could add svideo to. The Genesis2 Im talking about has a smaller motherboard (visible from holes in bottom) and CXA1645 (I think). Looks like VA3?

So I guess I'm an rear end in a top hat as I bought a chinese knockoff of the Mega Everdrive because I guess I'm cheap. Tested it out on an Svideo modded Genesis 2 for Genesi and Sega Master System games, works great. I don't intend to upgrade its firmware, allegedly one can brick it that way. Gave me a chance to start re-playing through the retranslation of Phantasy Star which is pretty neato. I am being a bit lazy and following a walkthrough for some things, there doesn't seem to be an official changelog of what was renamed to what, so that makes some things slightly confusing.   Pics look a bit crappier due to moire pattern from CRT. Next up after beating this would be looking for any type of Metroidvania (I hate this term) for Genesis, more on the Metroid side though (so not Castlevania Bloodlines I guess)- does anything like this exist?

Went with some friends earlier today as well. The show was basically a ton of playable consoles/computers spread throughout a maze of hotel rooms varying from ballrooms to hotel rooms with beds removed. A large tent with lots of vendors selling things, and several rooms with pinball and arcade games set to free play. I only took a few pictures, so here they are. One of the rooms with various playable computers and consoles  Closeup of some things  Magnavox Odyssey 100 with a TV that matched perfectly  I was quite happy to spend some time playing one of my favorite arcade games, Atari Football:  I was most blown away by was something I had never heard of - Sharp x68000 XVI. Some home PC from Japan that could play what appeared to be arcade perfect ports in 1991. The picture of the PC itsself didn't turn out, so here's its info sheet.

Xenomrph posted:So if I'm interested in getting the best possible picture out of my game systems given the limitations of my HDTV's inputs, would people here be willing/interested in helping me out? I could list off what systems I have, what inputs the TV has, what a/v connection hardware/cables I currently have, and how everything is currently rigged up. I had many video game systems in some storage bins, before taking any of them out I decided to make a matrix to find a common theme on what to target video output for Note that there's almost certainly some inaccuracies here, and it only lists systems I have or would consider getting. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LiHKitC35p6DuNHeWetUCDwBvbqPCy5rbOMqMnf8G4U/edit#gid=0 Also before doing anything, I tried to see if I could get a decent sized (at least 20") RGB CRT at a reasonable price. I couldn't. I ended up targeting svideo, finding a 27" CRT TV by the side of the street, it works just fine. Edit: I had a link to this at the bottom of my sheet as well: Systems and available A/V outputs

I just swung by a local-ish yet chain-ish store (Pre-Played). Everything seemed way over priced- piles Mario/duck hunts @ $8 as an example. They had three copies of Godzilla for the Xbox for $130/each. Why is that game expensive?

I picked up a GBA SP and DS lite from a garage sale yesterday. I've never owned gameboy anything so i know nothing about them. Mainly grabbed because they were cheap and there was a colored Pokemon game along with it that people seem to care about so I figured I could trade that off. Anyway, I want to play metroid zero mission. It looks like its $30 or so. Is there a flash cart for either of these that would let me play it that's in the same ballpark, and maybe some 8/16bit emu stuff?

flyboi posted:http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=576 This will let you play pretty much any game on the GBA and http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=160 for DS Thanks. Emulation isn't mandatory, just ran across some internet stuff saying it could do NES/SNES/Genesis which may be a nice perk vs buying something like the GPD Q88+. Anyway, from what I read the GBA SP and NDS Lite both can play GBA games. The ROM cart for NDS is really cheap for some reason (half of the cart for the GBA SP. Is there anything in particular that's better on one or the other if I were to just keep one and play GBA games primarily? Briefly touching the DSLite, its buttons are tiny and I'm leaning towards keeping the GBA SP and shedding the DSLite. hot sauce posted:I have owned every generation of Nintendo handhelds except the advance.

Composite is possible that way. IIRC NEC built their own encoder vs a standard chip so perhaps RGB functionality and mods are relatively recent on that platform.

Except that the original PS1 looks better than any PS2 or the PSOne. So I ordered a GBA flash cart based on someone's recommendation. Tracking said it was sitting in Chicago since April 30th. It arrived today. Or it should have, this packaging arrived with nothing in it. Hey, at least it was in a clear baggie telling me how sorry they are that my item may be damaged (aka lost/stolen). I guess ill bring this in to the USPS office but I would imagine they will give no fucks?

I think this was mentioned months ago, but I have a few RGB switchboxes if anyone is looking for such a thing. I don't have an RGB monitor so don't have use, but will probably hold one back just in case. I'd like to trade for some things on my SMS want list, which is a bit short of a full US collection.   I have no idea what shipping would cost or anything. Speaking of trades, is there some way those in this thread could setup some sort of trade system using gdocs or something? Dealing with lovely facebook groups is gross and all they do is post pictures of Amiibos.

Unsure if this weird for this thread, but I was in Chicagoland the other day and stopped by a place called People Play Games that had the best selection of retro stuff I've seen at a retail shop. Prices were of course full retail, but it was cool to see some of that stuff. I left with 5 or so SMS games, hence the gaps in that section.  .
