/vr/ - Retro Games

prices got higher with the retro fad, dongolo

>>1139809
well no shit, but come on... busted snes going for 30 bucks?

i just want one to have fun fixing, then play the shit out of.

is that so much to ask?

>>1139804
that's because you're buying online from faggots who think they have super rare old machine.

>>1139814
i just saw one that was spray painted gold.... with a zelda sticker on it...

US$165

fuck me in the ass.

People started realizing there was money to be made in emptying an old closest or attic with this stuff.

Honestly I'm too the point I'm just making a good emulating setup. Good machine, emulator, controller, and proper tweaks make it pretty damn hard to tell the difference.

Its a lot less headache unless you find hunting for old stuff still functioning and taking that gamble fun. Some do, I don't.

Beyond that everdrives if you have the console. And a few bitch to emulate ones are worth hunting down if you really care for them. Me there is a few I emulate I probably shouldn't, but I'm too lazy to plug in the N64 for the few games on it I like when I have a really nice emulation set up.

>wtf, i just want to play snes again.

Yeah, enjoy that.

>>1141453
I fail to see how playing super nintendo is going directly result in being raped.

>>1141456

It will result in wallet rape.

Shit's overpriced, yo.

Guess what?
You're not the only one that can fix shit and wants to play an SNES.
You're also not the only one that can fix shit and wants to sell said fixed shit once it's fixed.
Get over yourself and welcome to the real world where demand of something makes the price go up.


That said, I wish the "retro fad" would die so I can come to /vr/ without having to listen to whiny bitches like you who want everything for cheap.

>>1141471
"Why can't things be cheap when I want them and expensive when I want to sell them?"
"Why can't the shit I have be worth a ton and the shit I want be worth nothing?"

Fucking getting tired of this crap.

Just play an emulator, fool.

Anybody complaining about retro prices needs to step back and ask themselves: would you sell your SNES for less than $50? What the fuck can you even get with that kind of pocket cash these days?

>>1144105
Eat for about 8 days
You're right though

>>1144096

This

>not being apart of the glorious emulator master race

>>1139804

OP you fool just use an emulator I recommend fceux.

Don't you know how2emulation?

Fuck jewbay and craigslist.

I've gotten 3 SNES in the wild for $20 and under. Yardsales, thrift stores and flea market.

Happy hunting!

I honestly just gave up trying to find a not expensive and working SNES and got a Retro Duo. The controllers aren't amazing, but so far I haven't had any issues playing games on the thing, I can't complain.

Fuck emulation.

>>1145531
Can you use actual snes controllers on it? Just keep looking I gave up too started to emulate, and then found a non yellowed snes for $10 at goodwill. Happy Hunting! Like >>1145529

The sound on the SNES side is terrible. Hard to notice until you pop in the right game (Maui Mallard in my case) and the song plays on just the (wrong) channel and ugh. Terrible.

Videos perfect thou.

>>1145538
Same guy as ^^^ had one before, real SNES controllers are SUPPOSED to work but I find that the ports are super cheap and sometimes controllers only half work.

Pop them into a real SNES and they work fine.

Flea market is full of le happy merchants, yardsales never have shit, ever, and the best I've found at a thrift store was a shit stained N64 and Ballz for Genesis.
