Jordan7hm posted:So I got my super everdrive in the mail the other day, and its awesome. Mostly. I have a Super Everdrive and completed Actraiser fairly recently for the Retro Game Challenge thread, without experiencing any glitches. To me it sounds like there's possibly some crap in/on your cartridge slot inside your SNES, so I'd give that a good clean before doing anything else. The fact that it happens on multiple carts definitely makes it sound like it's a problem with the SNES itself. e: Actually I could make Actraiser glitch using the translated Japanese ROM if I used wheat on the same field twice, but it never did it to the US ROM. It would cause the game to freeze briefly and the water sprites in the sea would get slightly corrupt, but I assume it was an issue with the translation patch. e2: Yeah, it's an issue with the translated ROM, I just tried it on Bsnes with my save file and it does the same thing, displays a load of the wrong dialog that expands outside of the text box area, freezes, and causes the ocean sprite to glitch. jpg fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Jan 23, 2013 |

Thanks to this thread, I am hunting for flat screen CRTs. I've found three so far in my hunt: two 32" Sony Trinitrons and a 24" Toshiba. I think one of the Sonys was a WEGA.

Hell, CT's English release has the English text ASM-patched onto the game as it runs. It's a disgusting mess, really. I think people are getting bored by me going on with this subject but why was this so lazily ported? I would imagine Square still has the source code. The PSX ports came out like a measly 3 or so years after the SNES ones.

I did actually appreciate the effort on the dbz style Chrono Trigger cutscenes, and to a lesser extent, the FFVI cutscenes, but the games really are unplayable compared to the original releases. It's pretty bad.

kynikos posted:If anyone is looking to replace their floppy N64 controller joystick, I recently purchased this guy on eBay and it works great so far. It's a bit shorter and snappier that the stock version; more like a GameCube joystick. Replacing it was pretty easy and it was interesting to see the innards of an N64 controller. I thought I heard that these were less than ideal due to making it harder to make small movements, like creeping/walking in SM64 and the like. Or something, I forget what the complaint was. But I've still been thinking of getting one anyway, just because I want to make some use of my older controller's sticks again, which were more or less wrung out totally due to years of using them. jpg posted:I have a Super Everdrive and completed Actraiser fairly recently for the Retro Game Challenge thread Got a link to this? I remember either in this thread or skimming the old one long ago an idea for like a book club for retro games, where people would endeavor to play through one particular of them around the same time so it could be discussed. I wondered if anything ever came of that, or if the thread you mention evolved from that idea. Edit: ^^^ Maybe one of those crazy "Flashcarts with super memory you can fit FMVs on" projects is going to result in getting the actual SNES games but with the PSX cutscenes someday.

I have one just sitting around that I don't use and if you really want one message me. Taking a quick look at ebay all the ones on offer right now are way overpriced... It's nice to save a power adapter space for playing CD 32X games though, I have to say.

Alright, is there any known issues with SNES' eating AC adapters? My original stopped working about two years ago, I bought a replacement, and now the replacement is not working. I've used the adapters on both a model 1 and model 2 (I somehow lost one of the original adapters one of the like 20 times I've moved). Is there a reason for this, or am I just getting poo poo luck? All I wanna do is play Pokemon Blue on my Super GameBoy

CDX love in the house.  If anyone ELSE ends up with an extra, I'm buying. I'm also looking for the PCE Duo R but I'll probably end up buying from hkgamedoctor or whatever that site's name is. I had a friend who had a CDX and it was the coolest poo poo ever... but I have a Sega CD FMV addiction.

I've told this story before in IRC, but I got a Sega CDX at launch for my birthday (  thanks mom!) and carted that thing around with me everywhere. It was my first portable CD player so of course when we took trips it went with me on the airplane. Which also meant I got to play Genesis games in NYC on my great aunt's terrible black and white TV  I played through a bunch of Garfield Caught in the Act and Beyond Oasis on that thing, haha.Anyway, when I was in late middle school (1996-7) I tried to trade it in to Funcoland (remember Funcoland?) and they offered me a whopping $15 value for it. We bought it from a Good Guys here in California (remember Good Guys?  ) and we had a warranty on it so I took it in to get serviced.They lost it. And offered me full retail value (something like $399 or maybe more) for it. What did I turn it in to? A Zip drive!  In other news, my Rakuten order arrived!  Chrono Trigger and Front Mission boxes are near loving mint (except for the Rakuten price sticker on the back, noooooooo). Coincidentally I thought I was ordering Mega Man X and that the DKC3 came with a box but whatever, gamessssss. The rest of the boxes are in pretty good shape. I haven't dug into all of them yet. The CT box also has an insert talking about the Satellavision with a cute little comic. Not that I read Japanese. An excuse to pick up where my high school and first year college class left off? So excited to be playing around with my SFC now!!

I'd care more about keeping the CDX if I didn't already have a Laseractive with MegaDrive PAC and a model 2 Genesis + model 2 sega cd + 32x setup. Basically I'm thinking around $50-$60 with shipping included depending on where the person lives, and throwing in a controller and lovely game or two. Oh and 32X is included in there because I have too many of those and making someone pay for a 32x is ripping them off. It does work with the CDX despite what Sega told people. But yeah I'll keep track of the dibsing.   Miyamotos RGB NES posted:Looking cool is not useless For you I offer the chance to take my Atarimax Ultimate SD Colecovision flash cart where the sd card slot was knocked off the board and try to repair it. You can keep the flash cart when you're done 'cuz my Colecovision died so it's useless to me anyway. Just give me like $3 to mail it and it's yours.

Seeing people's Craigslist horrorshows makes me feel better for my lack of deals here ($50 for Bubble Bobble NES cart only ). Big cities have too many people in the know.StellarX posted:I'm actually looking for a cheap 32x for my model 1 setup if anyone has one.

Funnily enough, I screwed up on eBay and will be ending up with two 32xes soon, although I only have 1 set of cables between them. I'm waiting to receive everything until I know what exactly I have (it's possible one of the 32xes doesn't work). Now all I need is a Sega CD, Sega Saturn, TG16 and TGCD and I think that'll be it for me, my wife's starting to make threats and I'm likely going to have to cull eventually.
