That Sakura Wars collectors edition is awesome. I got my Saturn in high school a few weeks before I had my first girlfriend so it didn't get nearly the love it should have. The retro gods are punishing me for it now though since some of the games I'm looking for are so expensive (Bomberman, Mega Man). Oh well. She is long gone but the Saturn is still here! I just acquired this.   I've never played any Saturn light gun games so I'm looking forward to it. Edit: My bad on the wrong img tag. That's what I get for posting from my phone and not previewing. funkymonks fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Apr 25, 2013 |

I cleaned it out, didn't really see any dirt or dust or anything on the cloth I used, we'll see how it holds up. Doom 64 is working fine so far now but I'll pick up some CR2032s hopefully today and relace the batteries anyway, wouldn'r hurt. edit: You people and your Saturns!   I'm going to end up with one some time this year if you all don't cut that out. So many weird Japanese games on there that I want. And the SHOOTERS. So many shooters.

So I found a box containing a black and a blue game gear and I have no idea what games are good for the system. I've heard of the Panzer Dragoon game, but no clue of US game gears are region protected. They both came with the big backpack battery and one also had the big magnifying glass screen protector as well so it looks like I'm all set in terms of not needing a billion AAs. Also another portable question, are the Gameboys from Original to Gameboy color region protected at all? Because I'd like to get some of the Japanese games for them.

Nope. My GBC plays PAL and Japanese games just fine. The only Nintendo handhelds that are region protected are the 3DSes and the DSi's downloadable games.

Yes it's very good it's just that it's also weird as hell. The main heroine is a cowgirl who lives in New York City with her horse and the developers also have a hilariously poor understanding of American history. The robots also transform into planes instead of being just regular armored suits.

Received my trade goodies from Jitzu_the_Monk today. All was packaged in a shitton of bubblewrap and very cool. Games work and I'm enjoying some Battletoads right now. Thanks again! Also check out this loving radical sick SG ProPad for the Genesis. My SNES-only wife saw this and was all "oh hey I can play Sega games with an SNES controller that's cool" gently caress yeah son.

It blows my mind that there are still sealed copies of so many games out there, let alone that some of them are actually cheap. I got a brand new copy of Sonic 2 for the Game Gear for $5. Aaaaand I've already ruined it

Thanks guys  I know it's not strictly retro but I've been thinking about picking up a 3DS lately, partly for 3DS games but also to catch up on all the great DS games that came out after my DS Lite mysteriously disappeared a few years ago.

After a couple weeks my $50 scart to hmdi.... thing has sxtarted to go on the fritz. Colors are way dark, varied where they shouldn't be, and it's overall just awful. Why didn't I spent 10 times the money on a xrgb mini?

N64 collectin  I find once you replace the battery the carts act wonky till you reformat them with the N64 a couple times. My SF Rush cart wouldnt recognize my memory cart until I wiped it twice for some reason.

Well looks like Surugaya-too on Rakuten got in copies of Super Metroid. Decided to bite the bullet since their price was under 20 bucks. Of course they also had copies of Princess maker 2 and the Super Robot Wars games were only a dollar. And better calculate the weight, oh look I still have under the minimal limit oh a bunch of Special Edition games for under 10 dollars. 60 dollars later.

gently caress it, I'll change my username later. RGGE:Summer Games2. Will you ship international? Sorry, too expensive  But if we have a dire drought of US goons willing to ship overseas I could chip in the sheckles.3. A list of your consoles NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, PSP, DS, Gamecube, Wii, Neo Geo Pocket Color, N64, Dreamcast, Game Boy, GBA. 4. Favorite genres of game RPGs, platformers, anything super weird and obscure. 5. Any specific requests. Ys and other Falcom games. If you can find the special edition of Oath in Felghana for PSP for cheap that's next on my list. Japanese games. I'm starting to learn Japanese and want some games to practice. I hear the portable Zeldas are good for this. And to bring it back to Falcom, Ys vs Sora no Kiseki for PSP is cheap on Rakuten.  Pretty much anything cool for Super Famicom. Also anything even remotely Dragon Quest related. Don't be afraid to go cheap, I'm just excited to be included.6. Do NOT send. Like everyone else said, sports and racing games and such.

Cuz it takes a long time for them to get back to me so if I'm just curious about shipping it's a hassle to just try and see. Unmature fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Apr 26, 2013 |

Which one did you get? Please tell me it's not one of these:  Those only upscale the composite signal in the SCART cable (I know this because I tried to cheap out on an upscaler, too, before buying a Framemeister).
