Not sure if this is really retro yet but I was given a PS3 with a dead disc drive, I think its the one with backwards compatibility, can these things be modded to play games off a hard drive or something? I never really played PS2 so I have a lot of catching up to do.

So, this got lost in the shuffle, I'd appreciate if anyone has any tips:

I'm reassembling my GBA SP with a new case, but I can't sort out how the ribbon connector connects. Disconnecting it was a breeze, but now it won't go in the slot. It's completely intact, not broken or anything, which is good, but I'm pretty close to seeing who repairs systems and having them do it because I'm a giant dumbass.

Hmm did you make sure the tabs on the connector are open? It should go in easily, hardest part is getting it through the hinge mechanism

Uh, I think a mod chip and a copy of the boot disk.

From what I have read I need an SD media launcher but its just called action replay now? And a separate SD memory card thing since the included one doesnt support many cards

Or is the gamecube mod easy to do?

I just beat Mario 64 for the first time, I liked it a lot at first but playing the same level 6 times got so tedious that As soon as I got to 70 stars I went and beat Bowser. Should I go back and get 120 stars or at least try to play through each level once?

The DS version has 3 extra characters, more stars (same levels), and a bunch of minigames, a few of which are actually pretty fun.

The graphics also don't look like mud.

Is the camera better? Really hated it on 64. I bought Mario Sunshine too so I think I'm playing it next

Every 3d Mario game's camera is pretty bad until maybe Odyssey. The Galaxy games are almost ok just because they lock it in place a ton and it still falls apart really badly when you're in the free camera areas.

Hmm this isn't good news I have the Galaxy games on my to do list too

The camera in the Galaxy games (and 3D World for that matter) is just fine. 3D Land, OTOH, I remember it being more trouble than I'd like.

I 100% cleared 3D land and only remember having a problem with the camera on the last level 8 crown or whatever it was. I beat that level once and was unable to do it again.

That post reminds me - recently in dealing with some estate stuff, I found a plastic crate with a stack of my old n64 boxes in it, complete with manuals, inserts, etc. Most appear essentially brand new.

I have large 8 and 16 bit collections, mostly loose carts, but don't currently own an n64 or any games. If I wanted to get some dosh out of boxes, would the right way to go be buying loose carts and selling them as CIB? Is that somehow dishonest? Would the boxes sell on their own?

I sold all my n64 boxes about 2 years ago and got about $300 for them. I sold the valuable ones individually and then the rest in one bulk auction. I kept all the games.

Finally beat Space Station Silicon Valley like 19? years after buying it, for the longest time the 2nd to last level would always freeze and only recently did I learn it was due to the expansion pack. Not sure if the N64 boots with no jumper pak in so I just used a different console with the regular thingy in it, cartridge still had the save file on it from way back in the day. Took around 15 tries to beat that on rails shooter level then the final level was easy as hell. Feels good.

I want to play them on my CRT so the new collection probably won't let me do that. I really just want to play x2 without having to read a guide for the Japanese dialogue or spend over $100 for one game. The rest are all available on ps1 or Saturn but x2 doesn't work on the everdrive or sd2snes and gently caress paying that much for a mega man game.

If you can't understand that, fine. But when someone tells you you're being insensitive and you defend the behavior perceived that way rather than just moving on or apologizing, don't be surprised if people see you as being intentionally insensitive.

Whichever gives you the best video connection for the TV you are playing it on.

I’ve been playing it here and there since getting my Eon hdmi adapter and it is probably the most frustrating Mario game I have played (haven’t played Galaxy, so not sure about the wiimote controls). The camera auto adjusting as I try to platform is a pain. I had to stop playing it in front of my kids to avoid letting choice words out in front of them. Even when I censored myself, hearing my 3 year old repeat “stupid Mario” as she played with her amiibo made me say no more.

Maybe i'll just play it on dolphin and abuse save states, I hate playing the same section repeatedly

I also don't get why people would want repros, especially now that SD2SNES supports Super FX for stuff like Starfox 2.
If you want to display something on a shelf and don't want to fork out the money for the real thing, maybe do some high quality custom cases or something just to line a shelf with.

Does it fully support everything now? Like could I play Kirbys Dreamland 3 on it

The PSP is the only way to play downloaded PSone Classics on the big screen at the original 240p resolution (well, there might be a PS3 homebrew method I'm not aware of), and the PSP Go happens to be the only model of the PSP that supports PS3 controllers.

Do you need a PSP Go cradle for this? Looks like they are $100+ now
