I wonder what could be inside?

Well, step 1 is to find a way to get that thing cleaned properly. Looks like it might be a job for the dry cleaners.

>>3108734

>>3108772
The bags are toast. I can only hope the contents are okay.

>>3108845
open the fucking thing

>>3108845
Oho? That gleam! I'm hoping that it's all good OP. This looks pretty sweet!

>>3108889
Watch it be one of those unlicensed NES games that had the gold carts.

>>3108902
Those Camerica games are arguably more valuable than a gold Zelda simply because fewer were produced. They're actually decent games too.

>>3108889
no visible water damage, so far so good

>>3108918
poop fumbled the captcha and the image

>>3108734
Make sure you sell it all on EBA¥ baby ;^$ Robert

>>3108921
show pics of squaresoft demo discs

that's what gets me off

>>3108927

L@@K RARE GAMEZ!!! buyer must pay as soon as auction ends, no haggling I know what I got $12,000 BIN, partial trade for loli body pillows considered.

>>3108992
whats in the 2nd bag?

>>3108994
Probably no more NES games. Which is disappointing, given the bags. I can see Diddy Tang Racing though.

>>3108992
Game gear was fucking awesome. You had good taste.

>>3108992

>>3109030
I hate my job. But I love your art.

>>3108992
>i hate my job

>>3109000
nope, I sold and traded most for snes games because I was young and didn't know the admission price would be so high in the future. kept my favorites though.
>>3109002
I wanted that "light up" screen so bad. I had to grind chores forever to get that damn thing.

turns out it was a diablo case but the tagline works

>>3109064
Best thread in ages.

>>3109048
Nice. You have all 4 dongs + mischief makers.

show me the demo discs you dirty tease

>>3109068
and I took them all at once.

this is the only console I found.

What are the apex versions of the rest I need. Should I trade this for a different model? the extra bobbles give me hope the rest were in a sealed box I didn't look in.

>>3109105
I'll say, this model looks sweet as fug. Keep it.

>>3109059
new other: ***RARE BLACK LABEL OPEN CASE NBP FREE SHIPPING***
>>3109103
sorry to leave you high and dry, no demo disks.

>>3109103
Not OP, but I have some of those demo discs.

>>3109139
Availability of the lcd attachment sealed the deal, I'm keeping it. Would spending the extra on a boxed version make me a lamer? I want to have a match to the sole surviving console box I have.
So I just got back from a long drive after rummaging through dusty boxes.

>>3109048
at current prices that's a college fund

>>3110130
Stuff is getting silly, I am so thankful that this stuff is still around. PSone is confirmed functioning.
>>3110113
I found them!!! (zelda chest melody)

>>3110165
I think the Game Gear came with lion king. I won it in a raffle. No joke went Nintendo 64 kid in front of everyone. I might have cried too.

>>3110169
Nobody wanted to play with me because of where I lived in elementary school. I played with these instead. Thank you electronic friends

>>3110165
>>3110169
That poor yellowed SNES. I'm so glad that mine kept its grayish luster. Too bad I can't say the same for the mouse it came with.

>>3110165
Fucking jealous of that blue Game Gear.

>>3110165
At least it looks ok..... we have that one fella in the other ebay thread who thought it was gold and tried to sell it for a fortune or something.

Anyhow, good thing you found them! They look pretty clean! Just open them up and clean the case and you're good to go! The SNES might need some retro bright though...

>>3110838
it is still working with good sound! Had to scrounge every AA in the house and it died in 10 minutes but it works!

>>3110767
I am going to sticker bomb it with lisa frank stickers and cover it in clear vinyl?

Space Dolphin powwwwwer!

>>3110897
that rare console

And on to the meaty stuff. Went for one final trip, opened every box, scoured through every tote, the garage boxes and the attic boxes. About to lose hope I open the few boxes from the shed, paydirt!

take this unboxing shit to reddit you faggot

>>3111235
take me from behind and hate fuck the jealousy out of your crippled dick.

>>3111248
aaand I'm spent.

>>3111248
you haven't presented anything above mediocre quality or rarity, and this showcasing of your parents previous gifts to you only reveals that you grew up with nothing to show for it but a desire to prove yourself on the internet that you are cool to strangers. bravo faggot.

>>3111261
I bought a lot of this with odd job and after school job money, it's My Mc.Legacy. wish I had some fries for you to sprinkle that salt on right about now geez.

>>3111261

>desire to show off pathetic meaningless collection
don't worry guys, i'm above you and I know it

>>3111248
wow that was sad

>>3111257
I bet that felt pretty good, I don't know what I would do if I didn't know where the fuck my collection ended up. I know right now that I've been stressing for years over a lost Tales of Eternia (Destiny 2 on PS1) disc that I left at a friends place.

>>3111283
You're completely in the right. I was acting like a complete elitest douche now that I have a few games I can play on hardware. You told me and I stand corrected. Here's your (you)

>>3111298
I guess I never even thought about it. I left all my old games at home so my youngers could jam on some games I had already played out.I suppose I have a collection now, before they were just games. These genesis games are dirty as fuck though they were in a box outside for maybe a decade. What I've tested so far is working though. Canned air and an eraser seem to be doing the trick. I need to ditch this RF connection in a hurry though.

>>3108992
i thought i was the only one who'd lose my ps1 case covers

>>3111465
>Canned air and an eraser seem to be doing the trick
retard confirmed

>>3111257
>>3111248
Rad dude nice to see someone appreciate their games like this. You've got quite a few classic there.

>>3111484
Most of it was in good shape and cib except for some used games when I left. Not a biggie, been dl'n a bunch of pdf manuals to my tablet. Games still work and I'm happy to see them again.

>>3111531
Blew out the old sega with some co2, gave the contacts a quick wipe and pow, games work. I should probably Google the Aspergers method though.

I have no idea what I was doing in this game but it loaded. Fuck the lone star.

>>3111598
Shadow run was a favorite. Unfortunately not all the games fared this well.

>>3111607
I forgot how awesome this manual was.

>>3111578
Thanks, I've hardly slept the last two nights. Too much anticipation. I haven't felt like this since the first time I got puss. Thank god for cousins rite?

>>3111635
Others are hammered. Not even sticking these in until a game bit gets here and I can really clean them up. Hope zombies is still working.

>>3111645
>>3111598
An eraser or a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the contacts should do the trick in most cases. Even the dirtiest carts are savable. Garfield is a surprisingly decent game.

>>3111680
Thanks for giving me hope. I will pick up some 99% and swabs tomorrow.

Forgery Level: Master

Scan that Resident Evil 2 cover for the good of us all. It's too hilarious to be lost.

>>3111680
>>3111702
An emery board with fine grit is a last resort if there's stubborn dirt, as long as you're gentle enough to not rough up the contacts themselves.

I've salvaged a couple of carts that way.

>>3111745
scary, hope it doesn't come to that

>>3111739
so thats what compression does.

>>3111778
saved! very high quality op.

>>3111645
Which game is middle left?

>>3111867
shining force

>>3111778
Most of the time, it doesn't. The q-tip with rubbing alcohol method should do the job for 99.9% of carts you have. For that 0.1%, there's the emery board. Don't apply pressure, just run it back and forth.

>>3111261
Hey, keep getting upset about threads on 4chan.

>>3111875
good looking out anon.

>>3111645
Is that water damage or camo on the middle game? And what game is it?

>>3111938
its probably mold/fungus. The box they were in smelled like a dank meme.

Stormlord

>>3111946
Make sure you open those fuckers up and give them a good rub down of alcohol.

I opened an N64 game once that looked like it had coffee grounds or some shit inside of it. There was another one that looked like a moldy piece of bread on the inside.

>>3111953
eww, will do.

doing more cleaning and testing but keep getting sucked into the games. gotta get a few save batteries too.

Also is it worth it to spring for enerloop rechargeables for the handhelds?

gotta led backlight the gg, all these new (to me) mods are fucking rad.

need to get a 3/4 board model 2 gen though the sound on this one is clipping like a mofo.
might just sp101 screen the gba instead of mucking with the gbc.

this find is gonna end up costing me.

ordered stuff to make a s-video cable for the snes/64. hunting a "good" genesis to s-video mod.

this is interesting stuff.

>>3112769
I have been putting off replacing batteries in my games and doing repairs since i need a multimeter. Dont go to overboard mods since the genesis outputs rgb with component if your tv has that.

>>3112769
don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, cleaned the genie so I can test carts without worry.

I need to disassemble the whole lot and clean it up, looks like it was in a gangbanged in a vacuum bag.

>>3112787
I have component inputs on 2 of 3 sets but was under the impression that you needed scart to YUV transcoder to get rgb through YPbPr inputs. I want it clean and simple.

>>3112795
>YUV transcoder
retro gaming aint cheap even the cables. N64 is s-video only tho.

>>3113017
oh and dont buy chinese composite/s-video combo cables from ebay. Get official ones if you can since the cheap chinese ones are not wired correctly.

>>3110165
How'd you get that gold-edition SNES?

>>3108992
Why are there 2 copies of FFIX?

>>3113017
I'm just running svid, I have consumer sets and I'm not a pixel perfectionist.
>>3113021
I'm going to make my own if possible, already have the stuff for snes on the way.
>>3113391
I have 2 ff9.
Gex and thps1 on both ps1 and 64

Relatives would just send you shit back when every one wasnt a click or two away. Old people using email, text msg and smartphones wasn't really a thing 15 years ago. I lived in a Cemetery in interior Alaska and didn't have acces to the stores they were purchased at so I kept them. No ragrets.
