Not a Children posted:Super NTs should be shipping soon, right? I haven't been able to find any details or updates on that from their website or social media pages. Should I temper my expectations for on-time shipping? It still says end-of-September on their storefront but I haven't found any corroborating information. I've been wondering this too. It looks like with previous shipping stuff it took about a month to get everything shipped, in order of orders received, so i wouldn't necessarily expect anything super soon. maybe they'll be faster this time though?

Karasu Tengu posted:No, because the Xbox One does an extremely different and way better method of running original Xbox games. I was under the impression it was the same emulator the X360 uses? PaletteSwappedNinja posted:It does, actually. Orta has been fully playable on X360 since April. Looked it up and apparently it was patched specifically on the X360. I guess some very kind engineers at Microsoft solved the episode 4 bug and realized the same fix would work on the X360. Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Sep 24, 2018 |

So came back from Goodwill. The Xbox that was there turned on, but it also flashed orange and green. The AV cable wasn't connected. So I think that was the reason. That said, the disc drive sounded rough at times, like a DJ scratch, and there was no disc in there. So I think it's bad. Edit - No game was in the disc drive for reference. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Sep 25, 2018 |

Generally most Xbox's should still be fine since they're so recent and they used slightly modified normal PC drives, though there is a particular model with a really bad drive from the factory. Any Xbox with a straight U shape in the drive has a Thompson branded drive and they're really fragile and prone to failing.

So I've recently gotten back into using my Wii(once I obtained a reasonably decent way of hooking it up to an HD TV) for both it's games and GameCube games and figured I should ask for some recommendations, here's my current library; Wii New Super Mario Bros Wii Donkey Kong Country Returns Kirby's Epic Yarn Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles Battalion Wars 2 Tatsunoko vs Capcom Wario Ware Smooth Moves Wii Sports Resort Godzilla Unleashed Call of Duty: Black Ops Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law Blast Works Monster Hunter Tri Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Skylanders: Giants GameCube Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction Metroid Prime Viewtiful Joe Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Sonic Mega Collection Mega Man Anniversary Collection Mega Man X Collection Gotcha Force F-Zero GX Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Zoids Battle Legends Lost Kingdoms Bomberman Jetters Custom Robo Skies of Arcadia Legends X-Men Legends Star Wars: Rogue Leader Beyblade Vforce: Super Tournament Battle* *only reason I'm listing this one is because of the unusual circumstances in which me and my brother obtained this game, winning it at an official Beyblade tournament we went to, which was probably the most Weeaboo thing we ever did

punk rebel ecks posted:So I'm going to Japan in a few months. Is the stereotype true that I can get retro Japanese games for a fraction of the price at random Japanese shops compared to eBay prices? Yes as long as you stay away from the tourist places like Super Potato, that being said, sometimes even the tourist places have great deals if its off tourist season, so just check them out. I also find a lot of great deals on Monday-Wed, vice weekends, as the stores get slammed, by.. tourists. I just got back from a recent trip, so I'll try to look up my list of places I hit. Where at you going and what type of retro stuff are you getting? This last trip for me was only to pick up arcade PCBs, although I did look at some SFC and Neo Geo AES stuff.

Has anyone worked with one of these universal CRT chassis to retrofit a tube or replace a bad chassis? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Replacement-Arcade-Monitor-chassis-25-27-29-CRT/120966957215 Curious if they're straight up rubbish before I bother removing old chassis and taking ohm measurements to see if it's even compatible. This is for an arcade cabinet. While I already have an arcade CRT, i want to 'downres' it from 480p to native 240 to simplify its circuitry. I also believe you could just gut a consumer TV's tube and use it with this if its in the right resistance.

I assume I shouldn't be a piece of poo poo and buy rare games on the cheap and flip them for profit for eBay. I doubt I'll buy anything, but maybe a few MegaDrive games.

I dunno where you are planning to visit but if you want stuff that isn’t ULTRA rare I love going to places in the smaller cities like Manga Souko, Book Off/Hard Off, GEO, etc. Prices are way more reasonable than Akiba’s big stores.

If you're at all interested in old computers or arcade PCBs, BEEP is pretty cool but hard to notice from the outside. It's a little further away from Super Potato and not in that kind of fancy bazaar section. https://metropolisjapan.com/beep-akihabara/ It definitely carries a price tag that is worthy of the real estate, though, so you probably won't find a deal so much as confusingly well-preserved artifacts of the past. You can play a ton of games for free on original hardware.

Most of that has already happened by the Japanese, the Italians and Spanish, so it's not really worth it at this point. Yeah, you can get deals here and there (saw a Japanese 240p 3DO for $50, sells on eBay for $250), but it really wasn't worth my effort to do it, especially when I could fill my suitcases up with poo poo I wanted to keep. I make plenty of money though, a $100 profit doesn't float my boat to deal with eBay for 2 weeks, your mileage may vary?

If you're really looking for console stuff, smaller towns with Book-Offs and Hard-Offs are the way to go. I got some dog-bone NES controllers for $5!

Just a clarification regarding Rodea; literally any WiiU copy should have it included, you can ignore the "first print copies have it!!" stuff. Gamecube Rogue Squadron 2&3 Lost Kingdom 2 (it's WAAAY better than the original, AND you can transfer your cards over) Metroid Prime: Echoes Pikmin 1&2 Luigi's Mansion Eternal Darkness Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes Wii Metroid Prime: Corruption Disaster: Day of Crisis (PAL only) Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon Red Steel 2

I found a remarkably healthy 37" Philips plasma screen outside, no HDMI, only DVI+D with HDCP support, RGB Scart, etc. Is retrogaming a no-no unless kept under X hour long sessions? Watching blu-ray films on this I am blown away, and colourful PS3 games have never been this glorious before.

Is a recently capped PVM20M4U worth $700? If so, is it one of the better PVMs for SNES and PS1? Is 800 lines of resolution "too much" that I should actually be looking for one with lower number of lines?

I appreciate it PVMs still pop up on eBay for reasonable prices (usually as auctions that end at actual market value, rather than the wishful-thinking numbers people use on their Buy It Nows). Create a saved search and sign up for email notifications on it and eventually you'll come across one for a realistic price.

I believe it's supposed to be the originals for both games but also, Rondo wasn't translated until the PSP version so that's probably somewhat right. In any case it's more expensive and contains less content than the PSP collection.
