How much of a fortune you wasted?

>>3647643
nice bait sampai

>he fell for the MUSHA meme
kek

Nice fake.

>>3647643
I'll take it off your hands for 26 dollars.

I have every snes and gen game in my phone in my pocket

>>3647643

never got that void sticker off, eh?

>>3647930
I just need some rubbing alcohol and it should be fairly easy to take off.

>>3647937
Or you could just use the back of another Genesis game's shell.

Eh, repost, but my most recent haul from last month.

>>3647907
I have every game ever released prior to 2008 on a usb stick no bigger than my penis

>>3648359
Nightmare Creatures was pretty shitty, but seeing it now gives me a huge nostalgia boner.

>>3647643

>posts a fake to prove it's not fake

Hahaha

>>3648521
Board looks legit to me.

>>3647643
dude at least put some anti-static bags under the board to protect it, shit nigga you gonna waste your money

Also I'm on the fence on whether to get Legacy of Kain or Rayman 2 to add to my Dreamcast collection. I haven't added anything to it since Ecco Defender of the Future like three years ago because I'm still fucking stuck in that bullshit slip n slide level.

>>3648959
Both great games

>>3647930

Oh, the joys of visiting a 4chan board with a small regular posterbase.

>>3648983
I told the nigga that he could just use goo gone to remove that shit ez but he's either lazy as fuck or too poor to afford a $5 bottle of the stuff after blowing his money on the game.

I got Jackal but my NES to Famicom adapter isn't here yet so all I an do is read and reread the manual in excited antipaction.

>>3651210
It's here!
Time to run over bad guys with a jeep!!

>>3652294

Is there a reverse of this? Does it work well?

Wanna plays Ki's Quest on some lind of actual hardware

>>3652296
>Is there a reverse of this?
There are though I've never tried one. I'd think things are more complicated on an OG NES because of the way you put the cartridge into it.
You won't get expansion audio on a NES without extra surgery but I don't think Ki's Quest has an audio chip in it.
>Does it work well?
I got a grey screen at first but I pulled up on the cart a little and now it's working fine.

>>3647643

Got this masterpiece of a game for a small bargain of 150 dollars at my local retro game shop. Best game on PS1 hands down. The incredible music, atmosphere and storytelling sets this game apart.

>>3652296
Yeah, I've got some "NASA" Famicom to NES adapters. Works OOB with small carts but I modded my NES to make it read tall carts withouth having to push them down, by springing each of the 72 pins up. Worth it just for playan some Gun Sight with the Zapper.

>>3652357
No expansion audio is a bummer indeed but this way you can play dem famicom and famiclone games in original hardware free of RF cables and without paying out the ass for another system. It's great

Just this week I got the GBA Medabots RPG I've been looking for. It's a great fucking game.
Thing is, as I'm playing on the DS and DS lite I realized it was kinda pointless going through all the trouble to get it, since I had already started emulating the game on my phone, which has a really good screen compared to both DSs and having a blast. 2X Speed certainly makes the game more enjoyable, and I have already got far on that save.
So I want to know /vr/ what's /vr/'s rationale for collecting physical copies?
Not baiting since I do it too, but with the ease of pirating and amulating I find myself doing it less often, only for those games I have been hunting for a long time.

I don't care about the original cart for genesis (just want to play on real hardware), so I've been buying repros. Wild Guns is also repro I couldn't pass it up for $5. Anyway, these came today.

>>3651210
What console is that in the pic? A clone?

>>3653445
Sharp Twin Famicom
It was licensed by Nintendo and uses Nintendo chips so generally people don't call it a clone.

>>3653263
Yo where did you get the repro for that cheap, scumbags always try to charge $30 and upwards

>>3647643
>recently picking up musha

I love Musha but it's not worth the insane price it goes for now or aggravated robbery.

>>3648994
Just lazy, when I go shopping next I'll buy some.

>>3653485
Aliexpress. It seems you need to look out for when the games drop (sales always happen) but even still games are dirt cheap.

Got these two for $5 each as well with working battery.

>>3653549
No! I am glad I found this thread. I remove that silver void rental stickers with the same isopropyl alcohol you would use when you clean the pins. I think the goo gone may have a chance of melting the plastic. A friend told me goo gone messed up a controller that way and I have seen it do the same to another plastic item. I promise you the alcohol will work, as I have done it, just make sure not to get any of the alcohol on any labels.

>>3647643
I recently piced up some magazines and the OSSC. I have being poor, but it is all I got. I still got to get my friend something amazing for his birthday and Christmas because he gave me his old NeoGeo Pocket Color with a couple of amazing games.

>>3653263
>>3653485
I too am interested in $5 repros. I don't want to spend the $35-40 when I have a dedicated emulation computer, but $5 is a sweet spot for bootleg Wild Guns, Undeadline, Wily Wars, etc.

>>3653584
I had to remove a smallish sticker from the label and there is still slight sticky residue left behind, what would be the best way of dealing with that?

>>3653584
>>3653575

Just in case you skipped it, Aliexpress is where you get the games. Most genesis games are $2-$4 depending on sale and most SNES games are $5-$12 depending on sale and if the game needs a battery. However, the SNES games differ because they know people actually want to buy (and most likely sell) these ones.

>>3653586
If the sticker has low-tac adhesive left, I'd just lightly dab the area pulling up the adhesive with the adhesive. To clean labels, I use a 1/3 Pine Sol 2/3 water mix to dampen (not soaked) a soft towel to gently wash, then dry with paper towel immeadiately.

Pic is not recent pickups, just to show I am same poster.

>>3648373
don't lie it's bigger

>>3653602
Oh! Yes I see them there, cheap/free shipping too! I will put this thing to good use now (I don't want those Chinese diseases in my actual consoles, in case the boards are thicker).

So, uhh...

Why won't you just emulate?

Serious question.

>>3655949
>emulating genesis

>>3647930
CRC or CFC cleaner gets that shit off way more easily than alcohol.

>>3655949
I do, especially since I cannot afford arcade boards nor their setups, NeoGeo, SuperGrafx, and the only way I can enjoy my old DOS games (ScummVM and DOSbox). Emulation has also introduced me to some games which I was too broke to get in their day. I am poor, so everdrives are out of my price range.

>>3647643
>Falling for the Musha meme.

I know PS2 as a platform isn't retro but all these games sorta are. Got them cheap, today was one of the better flea market days.

>>3656126
can't afford an everdrive, so you bought an alienware PC? say whaaaat

>>3656126
>controller
>that'll be $40 + usb adapter tip
you could have just got a bluetooth controller d a d

>>3658272

>>3656070
every emulator i know of has a high quality fm mode along with a low pass filter. turn those on and you're good

>>3658268
It was used, and I believe outdated since there are newer models out, from someone who didn't want it anymore, so it was pretty cheap, less than the SD2SNES. It works pretty well for the individual emulators I use.

>>3658272
I actually like the 360's controller shape, it is pretty comfortable in my hands. I also like the symmetrical layout of the analog sticks, the Nintendo-styled D-pad is pretty good too. The only weaknesses of that controller to me are the lack of analog triggers for racing games and the button layout is the 4-button diamond layout opposed to a 3 over 3 Street Fighter layout. I do have plenty of adapters and controllers so I can plug in something more appropriate if need be, but in that picture I just used that controller for "general use". Say the Hori 360 controller on the upper right which has offset analog sticks.

>>3658820
meant to say "upper left" ... for a 360-styled controller with a 3 over 3 button layout ...

>>3658268
Also the Alienware has a nice small form factor just for a emulation machine, is one of the reasons I thought it would work out.

>>3658275
Ouch, controller prices are so expensive for me now. How does one get a $25 discount?

I got Outrun 2006 (PC), Tamagotchi 3 (GBC) and Gambare Gorby! (GG). All under 10 bucks each.

No pic as my phone camera has recently decided it will only take selfies...

>>3658827
>tfw can never find the sega playstation controller.

>>3658856
They were mostly sold in Japan and Asia.

You can still get a USB Sega Saturn controller for cheap. The USB Sega Saturn controllers plug into a PS3 and functions well (the buttons are even mapped exactly as the Sega Playstation ones except without a select and PS button). I did recently pick up another SLS USB one for under $20 shipped, because it was just listed as a Sega Saturn controller, but I do not want to post the image nor eBay auction to keep myself relatively anonymous (I will once the old listing expired). You just have to look, but you will be in competition with me for a cheap SLS one.


>>3658829
I love that new Outrun on Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox. It is a lot of fun. I am jealous as now I have the urge to bootleg that game onto a computer of mine now that I know it exists for PC. Don't know about the other two.

>>3656070
I love that image, it is so funny to me.

Got a couple Super Famicom games on the way.

Umihara Kawase and Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventure.

>>3659278
Definitely get OR2006. It runs smoothly at 1080p on my 6 year old laptop and looks awesome piped through to a big ol' plasma screen. So much fun!

Tamagotchi 3 has a real-time clock and built in beeper so it will alert you to your pet's needs when the game boy is switched off - in fact when the cartridge is out altogether. It's pretty much a screenless Tamagotchi when not in play.

Ganbare Gorby! is a very odd game where you play Mikhael Gorbachev stepping on switches to hand out food rations and decadent western goods to Soviet-era citizens whilst warding off vicious KGB agents by shouting at them. It was released in the west as Factory Panic with the same gameplay but little of the weirdness.

>>3659346
OR2006 is awesome, but the force feedback isn't super great if you're using a wheel though.

Finally got to cleaning it. Looks so much better. Any tips for cleaning the parts in the Sega logo?

>>3659562
Now to get the stickiness off the label.

>>3658820
Hori has great dpads these days, dunno about on those

More aliexpress games. i fucking love the game boy/game boy repros. they look and feel flawless.

>>3660243
*game boy colour

and just so it's known that they work. (super gameboy)

>>3659562
use a dish brush with alcohol.

>>3647643
I got this game for $10 on AliExpress.

>>3659562
I concur with >>3660260 ... I use a cheap new toothbrush and the same 91% isopropyl alcohol (highest concentration I can find at Walmart).

>>3659952
The N64 one is really small, so not ideal. The ones for MD, PCE, and SFC are exactly like Nintendo's but maybe with slightly harder plastic. The 360 one is pretty good too (the only negative to me is the offset analog sticks, and I like the feel of the bumpers too!) makes up for the stock 360's D-pad which I found awful (but I know people love the stock 360's D-pad for UMVC3 and BlazBlue, it just doesn't work for me).


>>3659317
I really should get to Umihara Kawase, promised someone on /vr/ I'd get to it on its dead dedicated thread.

>>3660496
Umihara Kawase has some incredibly dedicated fans from Japan. The games are also very, very, very good and I urge anyone into platformers to play them.

>>3660496
Both good games, hope you enjoy

>>3660518
Das fuckin' neat, fambly.
