Whoops. Started another pick up thead after I somehow missed this. Anyway...
I went to 2nd & Charles today. The best score by far is the 6-button Genesis controller for just 7 bucks. It was stoked to find it! And I'm checking pricecharting.com right now and it seems I pretty much robbed them of Prophecy: The Viking Child which seems to go for about 11 bucks loose.

Got the Mega Drive + CD II combo from some britbong last month. He hadn't tested it out because one of the AC adapters had gone missing so it was sold as is. I took the gamble buying it because it looked like it was in pristine condition from the pics, and it paid off.
Both systems look virtually untouched as if the guy had started them up once and then just stashed it away again. Got two 3 button controllers (the later with the rocker style D-Pad) with it, also near mint condition.
I sold the MDII to my big sister and put the pictured chafed Model 1 on top of the Mega CD (I haven't gotten around to region modding the good looking one). Sadly, no extender piece was included.
Game-wise I got Puyo Puyo, Bonanza Bros. and a chink Everdrive MD.

Mate, mod the beat up one, keep the pristine one pristine.

>>2893692
you call that a monstrosity?

I found this on 2chan a few years ago

Here's what I picked up yesterday. Super Metroid is my first CiB SNES game, so I'm happy about that one.

>>2894012
THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM.

>>2893692
What a coincidence, I was on the ropes about buying a Sega CD model 2.
I also have a unplayed copy of Final Fight CD that I have itching to try.
I did some homework and decided to not get the model 1 or model 2. I bought a JVC X'eye since there is no region locking and only 1 power brick.
I wish the mail would hurry up.

>>2893692
>Alien Soldier, Snatcher and Virtua Fighter on one system

It may be a Frankenstein monster but it's hard to argue with that library.

>>2894012
where's the karaoke unit?

>>2894075
>region locking

damn, figures there would be a catch.

>>2894075
>I bought a JVC X'eye since there is no region locking

It's only region-free in the sense that it doesn't have the ridges on the cartridge slot so Japanese cartridges will fit, but any game that's encoded in software to be region-locked (i.e. most titles from 1993 and onward) will not play, exactly like the Genesis 3. Same goes with Sega CD games. Only US games will play on it.

>>2894323
It is conplete

>>2894323
It is complete

>>2894346
>It is complete

Nowhere fucking near.

Needs more 32xs

and needs more & knuckles

>>2894003
How is the chinadrive? In particular, playback of genesis/master system/32x games and as a CD BIOS supplier? Those are the main reasons that I want one.

>>2894369
LEWD

>>2894908
I have no problems that are caused by the ones who cloned the cart, the problems I've had are supposedly there on the official Everdrive too.

It plays Genesis and Master System games with no problems, only game I've had trouble with yet was Megaman Wily Wars, but that can be played with a ROM patch. I do not have a 32x.

The Sega CD BIOS loading function is a bit iffy however. Some games don't work correctly with it; i.e. Snatcher displayed no text and Popful Mail wouldn't start unless I pushed the reset button once after loading the BIOS.
Krikzz is aware of the BIOS loader bugs, and he says himself that this is not fixable without a new hardware revision iirc. Most Sega CD games work without a hitch though.

Overall, it's pretty great and I'm more than happy with it. A steal at $30.

And none of these appear to be using the Sega modem.

Pretty cool shooter IMO.

>>2895003
It's okay-ish, didn't really grew on me. But linking two Nomads to play some co-op was fun.

>>2894961
Dang, you got one for 30? That's a great price.

Shame to hear about the bios part though, that's a big reason I want one.

Incidentally, can you play the first phantasy star in English with FM sound on an everdrive? I'm sure a hack exists for that but I don't know if it would run on a flash cart or not.

>>2895015
>the only game to use a proprietary cable that let two genesis be connected for co-op mode across two TVs
>also worked on two nomads

That's so incredibly 90s rich kid, I love it.

>>2895057
But Genesis was the poor kid's system. We appear to have a paradox on our hands.

Almost got a Saturn and a bunch of games (among other things like a ram cartridge and controllers) for 50 dollars, but sadly the seller stopped responding to me. Damn craigslist, should've seen it coming. :[

>>2895824
Can confirm, was poor and only had a Genesis. Missed out on all the SNES classics in their prime.

Now my family is much better off and I have all the current gen consoles plus a gaming PC, and all of the world's best games can be had for free on an emulator. Go figure.

>>2895849
He might have just figured out that he was getting ripped off. I don't think there are many Saturn games that sell for under $20-30, except for maybe real shovelware.

>>2895854
i had both consoles, poor fucks!

>>2895857
Yeah, that's what I figured too. It was his price though, not mine.

Oh, and the least he could have done was not tell me that "something came up but it's still yours, we'll wait until tomorrow and I'll even come out your way" after I tell him that I am halfway there and got money out of the bank, and then never speak to me again.

Oh, and he also said that he had other games that he was willing to bring and sell. I did feel like it was too good to be true, but hey if he still wants fifty bucks for the saturn and games then here I am!

>>2895854
>>2895057
Genesis for poor kids but Nomads for dumb rich kids

Got these here over the last couple weeks. The Zombies cart is rather faded, but I'm still glad to finally have it.

>>2894028
Is the Metroid complete? How much did it run you for?

Might as well ask here, what's a fair price for a regular, good condition Dreamcast in the US?

>>2899727
A few years ago I would have said 30 with at least a controller and a VMU. Now maybe 40? I dunno. Price raised at my one local shop but that place overprices the hell out of a number of items.

>>2898501
turtles in time and mega man x describe my childhood pretty well.

>>2899727
>>2899782
I would say that 40 is a price that is on the low side nowadays, actually. If you don't have one and see it for 50 dollars (with a controller and VMU at least), then that is probably a fair price.

so good price = 40 or under

fair price = around 50

bad price = 60 or above

>>2900751

yeah, those 2 in particular i'd play a lot at my friend's house back in the 90's along with mario kart... then actraiser2 and zombies came as recommendations from here.

>>2893692
I just got a box of 5v flash. Gonna make some carts.

I just got X (Ekkusu) for $18.
I'm so excited!


I guess it's time for me to learn moonrunes.

Massive disappointment.

The enhanced edition has 2 new control schemes.
Mouse, which is probably just like the tablet version.
And controller, which is an abomination. They kinda got rid of the behaviours and just mapped actions to buttons. Run is A, attack is X and so on.

I can forgive the tutorial popups that tell you where to go and what to do, but the game is pretty unstable. I've played it through twice and it crashed a total of 7 times, 4 on the same area,
And it has an unusual bug whereby the framerate drops the longer you play. After half an hour I need to close it and reopen it just to give my eyes a rest.

Not happy.

>>2895824
kek i dont get this stance as the games on both costed ass loads either way

>>2893692
>I got a full Genesis/CD/32X monstrosity
hipsters are the easiest people to sell garbage to

Went to a thrift store and picked up black label copies of Wild Arms and Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo plus loose discs of FF Tactics and FF Chronicles: Chrono Trigger. Pretty stoked to finally get around to having some PS1 games
