What's even fucking worse is the person who gave it to me gave me a fucking dirty ass used one not even from the box. Like I don't want to complain about a gift but when I saw this shit with scratch marks in a bag I was just kind of like "Ooooh nice.."

Your own dumbass fault for writing you wanted something retro gaming but didn't want something retro gaming.

That hobbies section was for what you DO want

Nope, there was a section of stuff that we write we specifically don't want. It's where I wrote what not to get. That's okay though, I forgot /vr/ is mad gay.

>> No.3688930

This is entirely your fault, and you should be thankful someone tried to get something you'd like.

You're a fucking idiot. You wrote you like retro games but you didn't want retro games? So were you just bragging or something? That person got you something related to retro games that is not a retro game, following your instructions and you complain. Please return to /v/.

You wrote retro games as your hobby but you didn't want retro games. So someone got you something that plays retro games but isn't a retro game.

Buddy. What the hell were you expecting? Literally how autistic are you?

And you have the audacity to not only complain about it having a few scratches - as if this thing is going to be worth a fucking fortune someday - you act as if they killed your dog or something. Just because they gave you a little plug-and-play for free.

You're a complete fuckwad. Remind me to cross you off my Christmas list.

This is actually one of the better plug n plays with arcade accurate games and a twistable analog stick for Pole Position but I suspect you'd be just as ungrateful had you gotten a C64 DTV or anything else for that matter.

Why you bitching OP? Give it away to somebody, try and hack it, or tear it down and install it inside the case of an old black and white portable tv and make a retarded portable console, fuck get a pocket tv for $5 or even a cheap backup camera screen and make a tiny arcade cab for shits.

Pic related - best PnP by a wide margin and objectively not shit.

>Following PNPs could be subjectively considered shit by many, but are p. good

>Famiclones
You should be able to pick up an N64 controller shaped PnP Famiclone for under $10 and some good ass chinese multicarts for like $5 each (it'll probably come with an ok multicart). Buy one with a zapper built in for some legit crt raster light gunning


>2nd gen "Flashback" consoles
Atari Flashback 2 is a legit VCS inside kind of like the C64 DTV. Colecovision and Intelivision Flashbacks let you experience consoles you probably wouldn't otherwise play in close-to-original format with replicas of their original controllers which is part of the experience

>FireCore "Genesis" with SD slot
Hit these up for cheap ass easy peasy 16 bit gaming. Sound is shit and save games don't work period even in games that are supposed to save (often even crash) but the Genesis library is still vast and great there's even a FireCore with its own screen but the inaccuracy of these consoles brings you into the range of "maybe I should just emulate"

>PnPs of arcade machines with unique controls
Golden Tee jumps right to mind. Using its big trackball makes it a different experience. I'm sure there are others but there should be more. Imagine one of those "Buck Hunter" shotguns with CarnEvil built in.

>>3690613
Famiclones are pretty accurate like I said a dirt cheap N64 controller shaped Famiclone with a zapper attachment and some $5 aliexpress multicarts is a killer bargain. Other than those three (and sort of FireCore) no there aren't any more real SoaC clones that I know of. Most just run Famicom ports of games on Famiclone NoaCs because they're super cheap.

If the success of the AVS is indicative hopefully we'll see more FPGA clones of consoles that may in turn create roadmaps for better cheap system-on-a-chips to start being cranked out assuming the market proves to be there.

C64DTV's are golden. Highly-hackable and can be made into legit small-scale modern C64's.

The Namco ones have the best inputs for Pole Position. Worth it for that alone.

The Sega Genesis Radica units are actual Genesis on a chips. Easy to add cart slots to.

Likewise the Atari Flashback 2. it's a real atari 2600 in there.
