/vr/ - Retro Games

That feel when when OP randomly capitalizes a when and it sets off some weird OCD.

>>1601254
You've got 50/60hz TVs with RGB SCART. That's the big, heavy, expensive part. Just import NTSC consoles.

>>1601262
That OCD you get when OP says tfw and when in the same sentence.

>>1601275

Wont i need some sort of power converter as well?

>>1601262
>terrible flaming willy when

>>1601283
Most consoles have external power bricks, and the actual DC input to the console is the same across regions (i.o.w., just pick up a local power brick).

I think the SNES breaks this rule, but again it's not difficult to find modern switched-mode bricks that handle essentially any input voltage.

>>1601283
They're like ten cents. They're just prong converters - or if you want to be a real cool dude you could just install some US outlets or at least buy a US surge strip.

>>1601293
I might get it modded when i stop being a poorfag soon. Because muh superior PAL SNES design. fuck that purple fischer price nonsense.

>>1601293
>They're just prong converters
I wouldn't recommend using these with old transformers. If it says "INPUT: 120V 60HZ", plugging it into a Euro power outlet will probably be bad news. Newer bricks will say something like "INPUT: 100-250V AC" and those are totally fine.

>>1601317
The worst that'll happen is he'll burn up the power supply and if he's using an SNES that's no big deal since he'd need to replace it anyway... Sounds like he wants to use Dreamcast though and they, aling with Saturn & Playstation have internal power supplies.

>>1601324
could i not just use one of those travel converter things?

50hz curse is the worst. I really feel for you guys. first time you experienced 60fps you must have came.

>>1601339

me and my brother went to USA to visitn our cousin and we played Street fighter 2 the new challengers. We bitched at him for putting it on some sort of cheat code that made everything move in fast forward. Oh if only we knew the real reason.

>>1601334
That's what we're discussing. I say sure. He says no. So I said "Try it on your SNES and find out since it's easy to replace its power supply anyway"

>>1601283
>power converter
The term is "step-down transformer".
And yes.

Or you could find an equivalent power supply.
eg. A US Super Nintendo requires 10V DC, 850mA, and center-negative plug to function. If you cut the end off a Sega Megadrive 1 power supply (same as above, except 1.2A which is even better) and wire it to a US SNES power jack/plug, hey presto you've got a functional power supply for your imported console.

>>1601254
Just mod your fucking Systems then.

You can mod a PAL Wii and then play Gamecube, some N64 and all 16bit games (even neo geo) in 60hz... looks glorious with RGB on an CRT. Get a Playstation with a chip and burn some NTSC games to enjoy them in 60hz. And I'm sure there is a solution for nearly every other console I didn't mention.

Its really not that difficult you know.

>PAL prices.
Harvest Moon on SNES costs ~$150 AU
Secret of Mana is ~$180
Thank god for flash carts.

>>1601407
"burning?" may aswell use a bloody emulator

>>1601456
Not hardly. A well burned game played on original hardware is, indeed, identical to playing a real game. Emulation, especially for disc based consoles, is certainly not.

OP you're on the wrong side of the retro gaming spectrum. Europe was the place for PC gamers back then. You should be looking back on all the classic computer games you missed because none of the console developers gave a fuck about you guys then except for Rare.

>>1601254
>your countries TV
Don't most countries where the TVs belong to the state use SECAM?

>>1602429

Maybe he already played those?
Italy here and here we never got the NES until 88(not joking), which meant most of us(poorfags) kept on playing Atari and Commodore(if not the intellivision) until the SNES and Megadrive came out and we'd see those at some rich relative' house.

Imagine the reaction.
In the 90' though Pc(especially LucasArts games) and PSX were all the rage, mainly because you could pirate everything on the PSX no problem and same for the Pc, except the games with MP like Age of Empires.
There was simply no time for the SNES and Nintendo to get a real audience, the SNES launched here in 92' and the distribution was ass, most kept on playing on Pc until the psx came out in 95 and revolutioned everything.

>>1601254
Emulate. Problems magically vanish.

>>1602540
>Staring at a picture of the Mussolini instead of actually going there

>>1602540
>magically vanish
Just like your ability to play many games accurately.

>>1602561

>>1601254
You sound like you could use an Amiga. All the 50/60 hz problems are the opposite way for those.

>>1601254
Are you really THAT clueless? Modding PAL SNES for 60Hz is extremely easy.
Also, being a PAL territory retro gamer is great if you are into home computers.

>>1601254
RGB makes SNES games look like shit? What is wrong with you man!
