I probably should. It's just hard to find a used Nintendo handheld that hasn't lived a hard life. Thought I could find a new-in-box one for a price that wouldn't make me flinch. I'm not sure WHY I thought that.

Ofecks posted:I reached this episode yesterday. What you came up with during that video sounds super cool. Kinda has a middle-eastern-slash-India texture to it? Anyway, I really enjoyed it. I probably would've enjoyed tinkering with that "game" as a teenager when I was learning guitar. It's been a year's worth of videos since I recorded that, but I think I mentioned that there is a Japanese band who composed a bit using Ikinari Musician. My options for recording a theme song off the Famicom were Ikinari Musician, Dazaemon, and Do Re Mi-kko. Since I didn't have copies of the other two at the time, that made the pick easy. Ofecks posted:e: I noticed a weird audio glitch - whenever you scene transition in game footage, it sounds like the audio slows down and gets all choppy for a second. Like what happens in an emulator if I set the frame delay too high. Did you ever fix that? Huh... I haven't noticed the audio glitch. That might be the editing tool I'm using and I'll do a giant transition to see if I can make that occur.

I'm not sure WHY I thought that. jbone geys his from Japan if I'm not mistaken, and it's my experience that handheld from Japan have been treated at least a bit better. I picked up a DSi LL last year that was listed as "good condition" and it's in drat near perfect shape.

Thought this was pretty incredible. Local friend and used game store owner going through the inventory of a game store that closed about around 1995, and left all of their unsold inventory in storage. What they found is a shitload of factory sealed SNES, Genesis, 3DO, Saturn, Sega CD, etc. stuff. Pretty wild finds in there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8QBSK-kRRQ

I also kind of wish they had showed off the GameBoy stuff. Yeah, it's not things that people are going "OMG!! OMG!!" over, but complete GB stuff is crazy rare to the point that there's likely to be somethings picked up from that batch that will be the only complete copy known.

Yeah, Game Boy stuff is WAY harder to find in complete condition than people tend to realize, and collector interest in the platform has really picked up in the past few years. There's a lot of esoteric stuff you basically can't find at all, and when you do, it's demanding prices between what you'd pay for Chrono Trigger and Little Samson. So finding sealed GB games is a much bigger win than most people might think.

I'd joke about the flood of supply collapsing prices, but we all know retrogame prices are disconnected from reality at this point. And speaking of boxed GB games, I just got a boxed copy of Yakuman! I'm sure people are mad with jealousy. Also, got my copy of Battle Formula on the Famicom thanks to the tax return and now I've checked off one of the ugliest ones I had left. Edit: YouTube is recommending retrogame "investment" videos to me and I'm not sure if I want to add this awful content to my viewing or not:

whats the deal with the n64's lack of rgb? the snes uses the exact same port and cable and outputs it natively but this thing somehow needs to be modded for it?

Seriously a bummer. I feel like the Wii eShop lasted way longer than this. I actually bought a Wii U a while back to load up with Virtual Console games (because what else is worth getting in physical media that isn't already ported to the Switch?) and only ever bought Wind Waker HD. Should fix that... Framboise fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Feb 16, 2022 |

Pirate all the things! When I hacked my Wii U you could still pull games right off the e shop using a PC. Not sure if that’s been fixed yet.

i got home with my big japan haul and was able to test some stuff. im glad the n64 i bought (800 yen) works fine aside from being dirty, the controller even works alright except for a slight sluggishness at a certain angle, most websites i read say that composite is generally high quality on the n64 but i do think it looks kinda frayed and blurry so i might mod this thing. the junk snes i got doesn't seem to work even after i cleaned it with IPA, it just doesn't power on, the power switch seems okay but might be busted somewhere, or it might just be something else. not sure if i can do anything to fix it but if anyone has ideas please shoot ps3 (5000 yen blue slim 320gb) and wii (1000 yen lol) work perfectly. gameboy color (3000 yen) also works but has a kind of crappy screen so i think i'll mod it up the one im most curious about is the megadrive (3000 yen) but i don't have a power cable for it yet so i need to order that first

Hard to render polygons at 320x240 without them being a mess of saw-toothed edges. We're looking back on these consoles with rose colored glasses so a lot of their characteristics are charming but at the time they were seen as flaws that needed to be smoothed out somehow. Also no US consumers in 1996 knew what RGB was or had any way to make use of it. I'm not surprised they didn't bother to connect those pins.

So where's the list of things that you have to get before the shop goes away. SMB3 for the GBA is the obvious one, but I know there's plenty of other small things quietly stuck on the platforms.Shibawanko posted:i got home with my big japan haul and was able to test some stuff. im glad the n64 i bought (800 yen) works fine aside from being dirty, the controller even works alright except for a slight sluggishness at a certain angle, most websites i read say that composite is generally high quality on the n64 but i do think it looks kinda frayed and blurry so i might mod this thing. I keep meaning to toss a Japanese Wii into one of my orders to open up some GameCube and weird Wii games to my options. And as you might have noticed, they're crazy cheap.

I'll just note that s-video on the N64 is a nice step up, pre-modding. But I usually feel like the odd one out for liking the stock N64 on a CRT.
