/vr/ - Retro Games

Yes.

Remove the console's shell, or use whatever passthrough cart you may have (Game Genie, "game adaptor", whatever)

Just buy a damn flash cart off of aliexpress for $40 and be done with it.

>>2713965
Can you cancerous pirates just leave already? I'm sorry mommy doesn't wanna buy you Genesis games all the time but most of us have jobs and don't wanna leech off of society.

>>2713969

I can't even tell if you're pretending, good work.

>>2713969
>Most of us have jobs
>In 2015
Ha. That's a good one.

This >>2713963
If you're not all assburers over sound quality and such, you could also get a Genesis 3. I believe its cartridge slot is big enough to fit Asia carts without modification.

Just use a Game Genie as your base.

>>2713969

what do you benefit from buying carts versus flashcart. sounds like someone lured you into a shekel trap

>>2714096
This. Plus a Game Genie can unlock about half of the 10-15% of Mega Drive games that are region locked.

I'm sure you can get the cart to fit if you use some lube

>If you're not all assburers over sound quality and such, you could also get a Genesis 3. I believe its cartridge slot is big enough to fit Asia carts without modification.
The Model 3 does have a larger cartridge slot that should let it play cartridges.
And aside from being mono, the Genesis 3 actually has really good quality audio.

>>2713958
game genie, action replays, random pass through cart designed for playing imports.

Cheat carts would be preferable because they can disable any region locking the game has.

>>2714056
An X'Eye will work too. It's a bit more pricey, though.

Game Genie...But games made after 1992 are going to require some way to bypass the region lock.

>>2717301
what's that in the picture between the genesis and game cart?

>>2717308

A Game Genie. I removed the label for aesthetic reasons.

>>2717312
Ah, I couldn't see the switch.

The only Mega-Drive games I own are Sonic 1 and 2, both pre-92 games. Imagine Sonic 3 and Knuckles don't work the same way.

>>2717315

Apparently Sonic & Knuckles isn't region locked, so it bypasses Sonic 3's region lock...So you should be able to play it.

>>2717320
That's kind of weird. Why wouldn't S&K be region locked? it was released after 3.

Also, I'm not terribly surprised this doesn't work.

>>2717370
Huh, all these years I never realized Sonic and Knuckles still had the Mega Drive side-notch.

>>2713969
I have a job but I'd rather save my money you idiot.

>>2717489
>Officer it's ok that I stole from the food store I was just trying to save money!

Get out of my board thief.

>>2717312
looks stupid now though

>>2717549
Fuck I can go into the grocery store and make copies of all the food there for free?

>>2717583
Ironic anti piracy is a new meme.

>>2717583

DONT COPY THAT TOFFEE

>>2717370
I don't know...I don't own the game. I'm just going by what I read.

>>2717581
Then don't do it on yours.

>>2714096
this is what i use, no issues ever

>>2713969
Enjoy buying some rare and overpriced games asshole

Should I go for it? I don't trust AliExpress.

Plus I heard that Chinese EverDrives don't have as much compatibility or that they won't accept firmware updates or something like that.

>>2714097
kek, this.

>>2713969
You know. Sega isn't making any money off these games. The developers aren't making any money off these games. Pirating old games like this hurts no one. Who are you trying to save. The guy who runs your local game store. He could make up that money by selling everdrives and shit.

>>2717976

Everdrive MD China clone is really good actually. The only game you can't run is Virtua Racing, I think that's it. You don't need updates, it runs basically everything out of the box.

Aliexpress is reputable, they're an affiliate of Alibaba and the largest online marketplace for china. It's pretty much their Amazon.

>>2717980
That guy is almost never a cool guy anyway

he's a cunt

>>2718014
Yeah he is. Downloading roms is part of preserving gaming history. All things turn to dust in time. I'm ensuring the magic for many years after every old console is dead.

That sounds just like the genuine/non-Chinese EverDrive. I guess the compatibility issues are with the SNES and possibly the N64 flashcarts?

>You don't need updates, it runs basically everything out of the box.
Are there firmware updates available anyway?

>Aliexpress is reputable, they're an affiliate of Alibaba and the largest online marketplace for china. It's pretty much their Amazon.
Then how do you explain all the bad reviews on those sites I posted?

>>2718196
>I guess the compatibility issues are with the SNES and possibly the N64 flashcarts?

nah, those are actually identical to what Krikzzz sells too. he doesn't have the special chips in his carts either.

for Aliexpress, make sure you look at the individual seller's feedback and ratings before you order.

>>2718201
It turns out the compatibility thing was about the SD2SNES, which I'm pretty sure is made by different people. Oh well.

Leave.

>>2718243
no. I make good money. Drive a nice car. Sorry if I don't pay to get assfucked like you do. Keep your fetish to yourself.

>>2718312
Being this stupid should be a banable offense.
I don't give a shit how much money you make. It won't buy you a new brain.

>>2718323
Wow, you'll defend you collector fag fetish to the grave huh? You buy overpriced trash while I drive a nicer car and my kids have their college paid for. I'll retire while you work a shit job in your old age because the garbage you buy is just one aspect of your mental illness.

>this thread
Jesus fucking Christ

People enjoy their vidya in different ways.

Some people emulate and pirate roms to play them on their computer.
Some people get the hardware and get a flashcart and pirate roms to play them on the hardware.
Some people refuse to play a game in any form other than as the legitimate cart in the hardware.

Everyone has their own reasons for doing this, and nobody is going to stop doing what they do because some anon threw a tantrum on the retro video games board of a Pacific Islander shadow puppet forum.

Also, nobody cares how much money you make, we don't believe you anyways.

>>2713969
reseller shill get cancer

>>2718591
Some faggot called you mentally ill. Your reaction is to defend your mental illness by saying everyone has their reasons. Enjoy your sanford and son lifestyle.
