/vr/ - Retro Games

You're never going to look at it when you play the thing. Just keep it on.

You keep that fucker on you hear me!

>>413620

Leave it.

don't touch it.

Removing a barcode on a gameboy is full retard. Unless it is already torn off half way, leave it on. Also stop using two different brands of batteries in the same device, my autism hurts.

Alright, I shall go by your word, anons. Thanks for the input.

Keep it on, it's a part of history.

>>413672
Don't you mean OCD?

But what about the Repair sticker on the back of a GBC?

Put transparent sticky plastic over it.

>>413694
Autism is the same thing as OCD around these parts.

>>413694
They both prevent you from being a social pariah so they're equally disadvantageous.

Remove it. Who the fuck wants to see the price a random store put in it? Replace it with Mario Bros sticker, that would look more Nintendoer.

>No battery cover

If you leave it on at least buy a battery cover.

>>413935
Yeah unfortunately finding a replacement red cover is not the easiest of tasks these days. I may have to suffice with a clear cover for now since there are an abundance of those on ebay.

>>413719
>Autism
>prevents you from being a social pariah.

>>414028
Dear God, my clear model came with a red battery cover. I hate these people who stick the wrong covers on shit.

>>414049
Yeah I agree. I was able to save this from a guy for $5 today. I'd send you a few bucks + shipping for your cover, anon.

>>413935
The tab on mine snapped and fell off.

>>414057
It's a damn shame I'm too much of a liar to do that deal, otherwise I'd put the money towards a clear battery cover.

>>414089
Indeed it is, anon. But it's alright buddy

>>414071
>that feel when my GBA battery cover broke because some sperglord decided to take it off and push and pull on the tab when I gave him my GBA to try out Quidditch World Cup

I DON'T FORGET THIS SHIT. I NEVER FORGET YOU SON OF A BITCH.

Oh and the tab on my GBC has gotten weak but should be find provided I'm gentle with it. Nothing can stand up to the build quality of my GBP.

>>413620
I don't see the point of removing it OR leaving it on.

>Brother convinced me to lend his friend my red(pinkish) GBC that had my initials engraved into the back
>Friend moved away shortly afterwards (I didn't know)
>Kept asking my brother when he's going to get my gameboy back
>He keeps putting it off
>After a month of me pestering him about my stuff he finally tells me that the guy moved off
I will never forgive him.

Hey wtf, does everyone keep it?

I recently got a pocket and removed everything, even the cartridge sticker. I of course kept them in good condition, but the gb itself is clean, completely naked. I'd remove the ABstartselect if I could; I love how things look without any indicators of any sort.

All I have is a naked gray gb pocket with a single cartridge: Guess it.

Also, How would someone lose the battery cover? Just, HOW? I've seen a thousand people selling them on the internet and 90% have no battery cover... >mfw

>>414501
>my initials engraved into the back

>>414579
This was when it first was released in the US and I was 8-9 at the time and my mom didn't want it to be stolen.

>>413706
Fuck that somehow happened to mine. Though I just found the battery door to my GBC about a 4 months ago, so I may have done it back when I was like 8. I used to hold the batteries in by taping a pokemon card to the back. The batteries fell out multiple times and I got screwed over multiple times in vidya as a result. As for the barcode sticker, I don't even remember it, I must've torn that off the first day I got it.

Keep it, it kinda looks cool. If you really want it so bad find a barcode online similar to it, copy the numbers and make your own barcode. Then print it on sticker paper and slap that bitch on there.

>>413620

>had a clear gameboy pocket
>decide to remove all those stickers so i can see more things on the inside of the gameboy

>>414507

Mine broke

>>415064
>almost mint green GBC
I'm envious.

Was there ever a blue-green Gameboy?

>>415149

Teal? Yes.

>>415160
Teal isn't blue-green.
Thanks though

>>415074
Here, I even made one for you. Not perfect, but it's better than that I'd say. Just re-size it and you're good to go.

>>413620
Keep all the barcodes on. After I get home tonight, I will upload the back of my GBP and your OCDs will kill you all.

>>415185
>Teal isn't blue-green

Then what the fuck would you consider "blue-green"? Seafoam? Cyan? Are you that picky?

>>415185
Teal is a color between blue and green. Not everyone on here is a professor of color theory.

>>415342
>blue-green
I consider blue-green to be blue-green. It's a real color, look it up.

>>415365
Not on a modern color wheel it isn't. That would be Cyan.

>>415387
God damn PC color wheels. Keep my wheels pure!

>>415317
Dat barcode

>>415406
Cyan is one of the primaries for subtractive color, which is the traditional paint based system. It existed long before PCs.

>>417328
>PC
>Personal computer
PC is politically correct, you pleb. If you are referring to personal computers, please use the term PeCom.
I am being facetious

>>413706
Ausfag here, none of the GBC's i've ever owned had a barcode or battery cover sticker.

The battery cover has gameboy embossed in it.

When i went to buy a replacement battery cover, none of them had gameboy written n them

Yurup seems to have a nicer looking barcode than other regions; unfortunately I don't have the repair sticker because I'm using a replacement battery cover though.

Sorry for the shitty 3DS quality photo.

>>420230
Thats because none of you poor niggers got Official Nintendo Repair.

>>417346
Do you realize you're shitposting? Do you actually think you're trolling?

>>413719
I'm not sure you know what pariah means.

>>422098
You are saying it as though the argument as to whether teal and blue-green are the same color isn't shitposting already.

Do you know what facetious means?

>>422110
Do you know how to have enough self-esteem to not tripfag?

>>422119
No

>>422129
That's sad.

>>422129
>another one for the filter

>>422119

>Anon is legion.

Take it to /b/.

>>422151

No one cares. Everyone filters someone. Just do it and be done.

>>422181
>Defending the worst tripfag on /vr/

>>422181
>implying that not liking tripfagging morons is a /b/ thing

>>422181
>implying you're not the tripfag, butthurt and trying to post anonymously now

>>422185
Where do I rank?
Polite sage for off-topic

>>422220
>"please feed my ego"

So can we all agree that the Game Boy Pocket is the most aesthetically pleasing handheld to date?

>>422234
Nope. That would be the NGPC.

>>422229
Actually, I still wouldn't give a single fuck if you said I sucked. I'm just curious
To keep things on-topic, should I get the Atomic Purple or clear GBC?

>>422110
>>422181
>>422234
lol, samefag

>>422236
Are you kidding, the NGPC is ugly as fuck

>>422243
You do suck, and you care deeply. If you didn't, you wouldn't be tripfagging or asking in the first place.

On-topic, I think you should just end it all.

>>422247
Nope. Not kidding.

>>422253

>>422248
Oh no, my feelings were hurt over the internet. Whatever shall I do?
Keep talking like that.

>>422185

Wasn't defending him. When someone makes a shitty post, focus on the content, not the poster. For people who hate anyone who stands out, you sure do love to give people attention.

>>422261
This is hot sex.

Further explanation required?

>>422271
>still implying you're not the butthurt tripfag

>>422283
You mean ParkerPeters?

>>422289
Yep.

>>422274
It looks like a cheap dollar store "electronic game player"

>>422283

Prove that I am then.

I bought a GBL
and was VERY disappointed that all of the stickers on the back had been removed

it just irks me, it doesn't look complete

>>422292
Oh ok.
I thought you were that one other Anon samefagging.
Still, you'd think /v/ would be too busy shitting their own board up to even touch /vr/

ok ok ok, fuck.
that's enough...

>>422274
Everything but the control pad and screen is kind of eh. The shape just isn't very good.

The games tend to look better than most any other handheld, though.

>>422293
Opinions vary, I guess.
>>422295
Don't have to. You prove it every time you post. Stay embarrassed and butthurt, tripfag.

>>422310

That's not proof. Show me our matching IP addresses.

>>422317
Will you please stop being butthurt now? This thread doesn't need shitposting.

Sorry you caught shit for being a pathetic tripfag, and I'm sorry you got caught samefagging. Get over it.

>>422296
Didn't realise lights used AA batteries. Does it feel weird to hold?a

>>422329

Why don't you stop making unfounded claims?

>>422350
Why don't you stop being embarrassed and butthurt, and stop shitposting?

>>422354

But I'm none of those things. And I'm not shitposting any more than you are.

>>422361
But you're both of those things. And you can't let it go.

>>422367

Negative.

Also, says the person who just responded.

>>422383
Positive.

Also, says the butthurt tripfag who's going to keep responding to me with shitposts in the hopes of getting the last word in before the thread poofs.

Anyways, dumbass tripfag is gone.

This thing ruled. Who owned one?

>>422345
No, it feels pretty normal... the weirdest part about it is the D-pad
it feels more like a gameboy color D-pad than a pocket D-pad
so you've got the form of a pocket, with the D-pad of a color.

never change, /vr/.

>tfw you have a special edition Pokémon gameboy color
>tfw you lost the back being a retard
>tfw the color isn't exactly yellow, it's a shade of yellow
>tfw there are no backs for this specific colour

To be honest, I don't care much, but since I found out you can replace them online, the colour just never worked,

Fucking /v/ leaking onto /vr.

>>422185
Rude. Back on topic
>>422234
Fucking right. I like that it has the same shape as the fat, with the form factor of the Color. It is the best gameboy.

>>422317
>>422350
>>422361
>>422383
No need to defend anything I did. They can be as mad as they want. I was shitposting last night, no need to defend that.

>>415846

I always wanted one of those

>>424663
My first GBC was atomic purple, that one was defective, so nintendo upgraded me to a Teal one for free. Best defect ever.

Nice meme.

>>424724
Just drop it and stay on topic. Joking might not be legitimate shit posting, but fighting about tripfags is, so don't encourage either side.

>>417346
Just leave already.
Literally everyone on /vr/ dislikes your underage tantrums and manorisms.

>>424783
I never threw a tantrum at all. I was joking about political correctness. I am sorry my color wheel humor offended you.

It wasn't funny, so I dropped it. Why can't you?

>>424830
>Justifying it

>>424832
Not justifying anything. I was shitposting off topic bullshit. It wasn't funny. People with autism blow it way out of proportion.

Sage for off topic.

Can we talk about peeling labels off things now?

Both of you children, quit this shit now.
In case neither of you had noticed, this is a thread about removing labels.
NOT SHITPOSTING AND RESPONDING TO THE SHITPOSTERS.
Thanks.

So if something is peeling or curling on a console or handheld, would you remove it, leave it as it is, or try to re-apply it?
Pic related, my famicom.

>>424910
forgot pic

I had a clear purple and two teals. One of the teals broke, the others still work but I only know where the purple is.

>>424783
I don't give half a fuck about his trip. Why should anyone, it's just a name, he'd be just as annoying as an anon.

Good to see that tripfags are so butthurt that they've been raging about this thread all day. Back at again, then? And they wonder why no one fucking likes them.
