So I bought one of those $50 eBay scalers. When it gets here on the slow boat I'll do a full review complete with some lag numbers, since that's what I'm wondering the most about

I was looking into them so I could hook up my N64 and my GameCube to a monitor and have all my gaming stuff in one spot. I snatched one of those Wii to HDMI thingos for $10 off Amazon, hopefully it works  .

Miyamotos RGB NES posted:Also it's hilarious that the Mario/Tetris/Nintendo World Cup game will not work while the individual ROMs do. Does the title screen use a special mapper for some reason? It's just an educated guess but I suspect they probably did something different with how they switch games on that one. Like a process to dump the memory and restart the NES with it referencing another memory location.

Okay, here is my "lot" of "crap and/or duplicate games that aren't worth the time selling". If anyone is interested in any of this, just post a pic of your duplicates/crap collection and we can talk trade. Note: Justifier already given to Zenintrude.  Sorry for the terrible pics; if you can't make out a game just ask.

Anyone have any cool retro gaming inspired 3D print stuff? From figures of characters and levels to useful stuff like enclosures and cartridge shells. I would love to see what people have done with retro gaming and 3D printing.

Yeah it's a Star Wars Gameboy game; the reason the cart is strange looking is it takes a battery for RUMBLE TECHNOLOGY. The cart above v-rally is Wayne Gretzky Hockey

I've brought my SNES games out of retirement. I've been having a blast with them all day, but I notice that I still have save states and my game batteries seem to still work just fine. I know it's just a matter of time before I will need to replace the batteries in my cartridges. Are there any repair services that can do this for you? I'm way too  to risk messing up Link to the Past, Earthbound, etc.

You'll lose your saves no matter who replaces the batteries. Unless you mean you're worried about physically messing them up?

I've never heard of a service that does this, but someone here I believe bought a Retrode with the idea that he would start a service, and can even back up your save! I think it was fatpat but I could be wrong. I'll let him chime in. If you want to do it yourself, it's not very difficult; I can give you good instructions. Only requires a solder remover ($15 at Radio Shack) and a soldering iron (you can get a cheap one for this type of job for like $15 at Radio Shack) and that's about it.

It's possible to retain saves by soldering a helper battery on to the relevant points, remove and replace the original battery, and finally remove the helper battery. I use that technique a ton when fixing arcade pcbs.

Before I get into trading stuff, let me just say that rearranging one's shelves can lead to awesome stuff. I just rediscovered Astal for the Saturn and would recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it. It's absolutely beautiful and the soundtrack is fantastic too. So why was it neglected? For starters, it's a 2d side scroller from the 32-bit era, and one that came out for a failed system. It's also kinda easy. And as pretty as the graphics are, they're also cartoonish, which might make you think it was intended for kids. Maybe it was. Who cares? Disc only copies seem to hover in the $20-$30 range. Totally worth it if you don't mind a short game.iastudent posted:Since we're getting into this trading thing, here's a couple I don't mind getting rid of if anyone's interested. I'd take pretty much anything there that isn't an N64 or GBA game, and Super Off Road in particular. Re-posting my meager heap. Quiet Feet posted:

I'm not trying to be obnoxious with the sideways photos. For some reason no matter the orientation before upload, photobucket reorients them in portrait mode. Rotating images within photobucket itself doesn't seem to help; neither does changing my user settings.
