flyboi posted:I have a scaler and the gba looks great on my setup but everyone I've ever talked to about the gba player states that it is 480i on the gamecube and as far as my xrgb mini can provide it can confirm that. I hope someone can prove me wrong but honestly it looks beautiful on my tv so I am kind of indifferent. Hold down the B button on power on. Tada, progressive GB Player.

Argh, finally got a refurbished controller for my 5200 and now it won't start! Delightful. Finally got a/v cables for my dreamcast, don't have any games yet. (e: Is it files to talk about how my attempt at burning a boot disc seems to have failed as well?) Man, this is excruciating. hexwren fucked around with this message at 05:44 on May 1, 2013 |

Kilazar posted:Man those are nice. Are they emulators or real old school hardware with a new shell? If they are emu's are there any quirks or non working games? I just got my old GBC back from a friend I traded it too years ago. And while I play I keep wishing the screen were lit with something other than my stupid worm light. The dpad is... meh. Unfortunately you can press it in and activate all four directions... and can be amusing in some games. That said, it's actually fairly responsive, and I don't find the dpad to be much of a hindrance in gb games. The buttons feel good as well.

RGGE: Summer Games 2. Will you ship international? No, I'd really rather not ship internationally. 3. A list of your consoles Retro Duo, toaster NES, non-working N64, fat PS2. 4. Favorite genres of game I like pretty much anything, honestly. 5. Any specific requests. I would really like a working N64, an actual SNES of any stripe, and games for either system. 6. You may include an optional "do not send" list. Don't want 5 EA titles showing up in the mail? Say so. Here's my RF Generation profile. It's a partial list at the moment, I'll complete it after I go home on the 9th for summer break (there's a shitload of NES games at my house that aren't on it, and an even bigger shitload of PSX and Genesis games), but basically don't send me anything on this list.

Holy poo poo this only tangentially related to this thread but I just popped open Steam and there's a new Shadowrun game coming out in June, and it looks just like the SNES Shadowrun but prettier. And it's looking to be like $20, too, and it has ridiculously low system requirements to boot [yay my broke-rear end PC can run it!]. It's also set in Seattle, which is awesome. I am very excited. SNES Shadowrun is one of my favorites on the platform, and I've got a stack of Shadowrun pen and paper sourcebooks because I keep trying to get a thing started with my local nerd friends. e. and the soundtrack is being done by the people behind the original game soundtracks too, holy dickens  deluxe pack comes with the soundtrack and some short stories, gonna buy that deluxe packe2. Now that I think about it, I think I do remember hearing something about this a long time ago, I must've totally forgotten about it until now Code Jockey fucked around with this message at 06:51 on May 1, 2013 |

What the gently caress, PAL Mega Man X is now worth £60 for a cart-only copy? Oh god why did I sell mine in 1998, it had the box and manual and other crap and probably even the small plastic bag the cart was in, gently caress me I was a dumb little poo poo  Looks like Final Fantasy VI Advance is pretty drat expensive now as well. Also, half the carts on eBay look like dodgy bootlegs, don't ship to my part of the world, or don't have pictures on the listing. Most of them don't look quite as bad as this, though, check out that amazing Nintendo logo on the label. I'm sure this is perfectly legit

I think they said they'd be adding content that directly ties into both the SNES and Sega Shadowrun games, too. (Maybe that was a stretch goal or something, I forget.)

I finally figured out how to open the 21 pin connector on the OEM SFC RGB cable. Push each of the four tabs in, turn the fastener, repeat. Seems the caps were fine and after putting it back together I got it working with the XRGBmini. Feel kind of stupid about the whole situation, but at least everything's working well. No checkerboard effect either, unlike what I get using the non OEM S-video I picked up for my J-NTSC N64  Another day, another

I like to think that the original SNES Shadowrun team was fueled simply by their hatred of what Microsoft did with the game on the 360. And yup, the game, aesthetically at least, looks very much like the SNES version of the game. It has the original overworld music in the game, too!   ACID POLICE posted:Dammit, is there nowhere in the USA that stocks female SCART connectors?

WickedIcon posted:I'm actually sort of tempted to try and get a complete N64 collection. Looking at the vg price charts page for it, I already have a lot of the expensive games from my childhood, so that'll make it easier. Your biggest worries are Conker's Bad Fur Day, Worms Armageddon, Clayfighter Sculptor's Cut (The only $100+ N64 cart), Harvest Moon 64, Ogre Battle 64 and I think that's it for any games worth $40-50+ Anything with Mario or Zelda in it runs $20+ The rest is mostly cheap. I wish I had the money to grab the last ten carts I need.

I just arrangede to buy these for about $26 on a Danish ebay-ish site: The lot comes with a Network Adapter - is that useful for any games these days besides PSO on private servers? Not that I really plan to use it I'm just curious. And it will be nice to finally have a piece of Nintendo memorabilia plugged into one of our GC's various available holes

I can't buy the entire lot myself, but definitely count me in on the group by at $85. Also I just realized the SD card goes into the "hand hold" area of the NES cart. That is freaking genius.

zenintrude posted:Networked Mario Kart: Double Dash. Also Kirby Airride, if my memory is correct. For shits and giggles I priced out what a Mario Kart: Double Dash network would cost for 16 players and came up with $1-$2k for an 8-screen setup with everything required. Tack on an extra $1k if you need component cables. Having said that, the only advantage this gives you over a 4-console setup is not having to do a 2-way split screen (every individual kart gets its own screen with an 8-way configuration).

That's 4 so far... if no one can drop $850 at once (which is a bit silly) I suppose someone could be tasked with collecting $91-ish ($85 + $6 for Priority Flat Rate) from 9 other people and then ordering. Bare in mind that this would be for the board-only, no case or USB-port... not sure if the bulk order deal is good when you start adding on things.

It is, but you don't get any discounts on the addons. So, it'd be an extra $15/cart for the USB port and another $15/cart for a shell if somebody wanted to do get them with everything.
