/vr/ - Retro Games

i found a ps one with lcd screen being sold at 36,500 MXN
>1 USD = 19 MXN

If things went a little different, the Nintendo Playstation would have been the reality. I wonder if it would be competing with the Sega XBox...

>>4521791
Wow only $90 more than Aliexpress

>>4521791
I found a Fairchild Channel F but it's $300.

Might be more appropriate for a gore thread, but here you go.

>>4521791
that mak light gun would be pretty damn cool to have for ps1/2 tho

>>4521963
That's kind of cute in an autistic sort of way...

Found this literal gem awhile ago

The hunt is still on /vr/troopers!

this asshole who keeps trying to sell a burned cd of nes roms

>>4522438
I thought that was a bra at first.

>>4521967
I have a Simba's lightgun that looks like an automatic pistol for my AV Famicom. Works great.

>>4522209
What's odd? It's just a regular Gameboy Light with Tetris.

>>4521963
Why would someone sell this? Shitty as it is, it seems like something with sentimental value.

>>4522393
What's fucked is these sell. I keep seeing usb drives full of roms getting sold on fucking facebook all the time

>>4521791
isn't that lightgun technically illegal in the US?

>>4522446
Now I wish someone would invent a Mario bra

>>4522535

>>4522538
Super mario bra

>>4521791
As someone who grew up with famiclones I laugh at you poor souls paying more than $5 for literal electronic junk.

>>4521963
I would never buy this shit but if someone gifted me that I would probably be hella happy.

>>4522524
>isn't that lightgun technically illegal in the US?
This is how you sound like

>>4521791
The fuck? I remember the PolyStation being comertialized here almost 20 years ago, I almost bought one thinking it was the real deal.
What's the point of having it nowadays? No kid would have interest in a PS1.

>>4522740
It might actually be illegal. There's laws in the US prohibiting toy guns that look too much like real guns.

>>4522748
Dude you seriously need to let go from that stick in your ass.

>>4522740
It wasn't a value judgment on whether or not it should be illegal(frankly it shouldn't). It was a question I asked because I remember there being a US law about toy and fake guns having to have a bright colour scheme, or at least a bright red tip, so cops don't get scared. I'm not up to date on whether or not y'all got rid of that yet. Just conversation, you know?
that video was fuckin cute

>>4522747
Also
>$110
Holy fucking shit, that was like 15 bucks back in the day, and I'm not even readjusting the inflation.

>>4521791
I don't even fucking know.

>>4522761
I guess I get the appeal of having a custom emulation doohickey, especially if it's a project you worked on yourself. But making them to sell?
maybe dude's in money trouble

>>4522769
Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of controllers they are either. Maybe just generic USB cheap shit?

Just fucking kill me now.

On Craigslist and Facebook I keep seeing people selling Raspberry Pis just for emulation. But in my area people will buy these damn things. Funny how Walmart has the retro Ataris and Segas that been sitting on the self and moved around a lot and no one buys them. The handheld ones sold tho.

>>4522783
does it wub your lubbadubs?

>>4522791
If that's shorthand for "make you chug a gallon of bleach", yes. Yes it does.

>>4522105
>That's kind of cute in an autistic sort of way.

In other words, it appeals to hardcore sonic fans.

Don't get me wrong, I loved genesis sonics and even the adventure games, but damn if the fanbase didn't go full furry eventually.

>>4522753

I've heard some criminals paint the tips of real guns so it looks like a toy. Hell, i've seen pics of shotguns made to look like super soakers.

>>4522783
To be fair you need to have a really high iq to enjoy 9000 games

>>4522783
>>4522792
>Ricky & Morty
Literally the gayest thing I've ever seen.

>>4521963
honestly i'd be so stoked to have this dreamcast

have seen a lot of good deals on arcade stuff in the denver area. we have a bunch of arcades and i think that type of gameplay was just more popular around here as Sega was a lot bigger than Nintendo.
Lots of Saturns and Genesis for sale in Northern Colorado

have seen working neo geo's for $250 around here.

Also saw a MvC 2 Cabinet that need a little work for $200-300 iirc.

>>4521932
Sounds like a retard was selling it. It's probably a 40 dollar console at best.

>>4522462
Lights are usually more money

I FUCKIN WANT THIS SHIT

>>4521963
I think this is freakin adorable

>>4522761
>>4522775

Wew, total autistic shit here. NO HAGGLE.

>>4522783
>>4522792

EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARYDOOS. I could see someone buying this actually because people are stupid.

>>4523594
Wow, that's pretty neat. If there is no burn-in it would be pretty fucking sweet to own.

>>4523606
These are so common. The MVS carts are pretty cheap, but since Neo Geo emulaiton is 99.99% accurate it would make more sense to just throw in a cheap PC tower running MAME

>>4523626

Pictured 1/2 - horrendous MAME Cab

>>4523653
Fuck forgot the pictures: Horrendous MAME Cab for FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS

> This is the time, First $450.00 and it could be yours. I will include the Arcade building book. Please read below as the buyer needs some kind of Mame knowledge to complete. I don't have the time myself so when sold I will not be able to answer any questions. Arcade is being sold as is, buyer can test/play before purchasing. I will review the basics. $500. is the absolute lowest I will accept, please don't ask for any lower or schedule to come and see the arcade and once here try to get me to lower the price as I will stay firm at $450.00 Arcade application is set up to support many other old school game systems and games/roms. The ones programmed now are the ones noted above.
Arcade is set up to support a coin door if wanted to install. Arcade runs off a computer and application.

> Arcade has easily over $1200. in it with electronics to operate as an arcade. Selling for $450.

>>4523653
re: neo geo, yea I agree. There's a couple neo geo's at my arcade and I hate playing them. Lots of slow down and they're really awkward to play if you're tall because of how far the top bezel sticks out and how low the screen in.

I know people like Neo Geo's though so thought I'd post.

You mean I could own a NIB copy of NBA jam FOR ONLY $150 dollars? Fuck yeah, man!
Seriously, this game is so goddamn common I wipe my ass with them every time I take a shit. Who the fuck would fall for this?

>>4524942
crt worship is stupid. i sure as fuck would never intentionally buy or implement anything again.

you'd understand if crts werent some "retro" thing to you. as it stands, every single one of them will cease functioning within about 10 more years, so doesnt really matter.

>>4526272

That's what they go for.

>>4527219
it's this shit right here that keeps me coming back

Gameboy advance with damaged speakers for $15usd, worth it? Kinda want to see if i could fix it.

>Why pre-loaded Rasp Pi's sell?

It's not too different from the reason why the NES classic and SNES classic sold. Normies have a 60-year-old grandmother level of tech understanding, so something as simple as downloading an emulator and roms, or reading an article about how to download an emulator and roms, is FAR too difficult for them to understand. They know about emulation, they've seen their friends able to play any game they wish, and they want in but don't know how.

Then they see an ad for a little box that's already pre-configured and can be plugged into their TV with one of their PS3/PS4/Xbox controllers. So they pay $100-$200 for $30 worth of hardware that someone spent 30 seconds configuring.

It's called "The Stupid Tax". Dumb people pay it often in life.

>>4522748
It's only illegal if you get caught.

>>4529863
some people also just value their time more than others.

My time is worth about $100-200/hour so it's worth it for me to just buy something already setup than to spend the time to set it up.

>>4530480
Fuck, that was some expensive shitpost you just dropped.

>>4530480
Whoa there buddy why dont you just buy the original arcade machine in that case?

>>4526272
Itll work for 10 more years? And that is hardly worth it to you?

Finally I wont have to play video games alone. Although if I was this desperate I would just order a new one from China. There is nothing more sad than a used sex doll.

$100 for a box of a/v cables.

I see a dreamcast controller. There might be a hidden gem underneath all that dirty trash and tv remotes. This reminds me. Last time I went into Goodwill they were asking $169.99 for a dust n64 and 5 sports games with 2 controllers. I should have took pictures.

>>4530672
Does it come with a bottle of isopropyl?

Should I bros?

>>4530797
Are you willing to pay the price and does your TV/monitor look great with the component input? Do you care a lot about playing gamecube -and possibly gameboy (color/advance) games as well- regularly?

If so then I don't see any reason not to get it unless you can find it cheaper somewhere else or if there is a high chance the cable won't work because of an untrusty seller.

>>4530809
I have a Wii U that I play my GameCube isos on, was thinking of buying it keeping the GameCube player and GameCube and selling the component cables?

I know there were trash-quality licensed Nintendo 64 radios, cassette players and 35mm cameras, because they stuck around at stores like BigLots for years. Never seen this one though.

Holy SHIT! I can't believe that there are still versions of these that work. It was a gimmicky game, but was really cool.

>>4537760
Ha this game was a pretty big deal when it showed up at our main arcade. There was a samurai ninja one that came out shortly after and it was good, but even a DDR weeb fag like myself had to admit Police 911 was the better game.

This almost looks legit.

My local Kikebook marketplace has a bunch of fags selling wii's with a bunch of burned ROMs for old games.
I live in a subhuman-infested city (Denver), so chances are it's actually working.

Thing is I kinda want to buy a Wii that's already been homebrewed up and has the IOS shit necessary for USB Loader GX. I've done it all multiple times from scratch, but gave away my Wii a while back. I just don't want to go through the hassle again, but I suppose I should to avoid dealing with scum like this.

>>4541831
Don't do it. It's a shitty practice, and they know you're a sucker for paying them.

If you do it yourself, you know exactly what has been modified and can troubleshoot it yourself instead of trying to figure out what the fuck they did.

Thanks, appreciate it. And there's certain IOS stuff that can't be reversed IIRC. I do need a refresher so I'll find that /vg/ homebrew thread when I'm ready.

dude was selling a catalog book of loose PS1 and PS2 games for $50

Diablo for PS1 was one of the titles.

Do you want to buy your own country or 8 Sims discs?

>>4543276
Nice carpet.

>>4543276
I doubt the price is legit what he's asking for, he just put a bunch of numbers in and he's expecting you to contact him for a price. Still, I hate when people do that, just put the price on the ad.

I don't have the original post but I found a guy who was selling his spare statues of Mario/Fox he painted back in the early 2000's. He said that he painted all of them from the Mario, Fox, and Pikachu statues and even had a few pictures of the process. *pic related.
Anyway, he told me a whole lot about how each were made, like how the Fox statue was the hardest due to it's multi colors and the Pikachu's were the easiest. He also gave me a number of how many statues he made of each.
Mario- 400
Pikachu-150
Fox-70
He was a pretty cool dude too and I bought one of his Fox statues for $70 and learned some neat history about them.

>>4534491
They are all lazy setups where the guy making it just downloaded complete romsets and dumped them on the harddrive without even trying to filter shit out. They always use the Split archives too, so every single game has a base ROM and 3-20 different region clones, inflating the list even more. There's only about 2,000 games that actually work in MAME that aren't barcade crap, but every one will have 30,000+ fucking ROM files. It's pretty easy to throw some romsets onto a Pi, it takes time and effort to filter out the shit.

>>4545795
FLEENSTONES??

>>4547639
>30 seconds

I have a current image of retropie, a finely curated set of roms and every bios file imaginable all on my computer and ready to roll at any time. I've made 6 raspberry pi systems now. It takes probably 2 hours to set up, minimum, and that's with the process streamlined enough that I just have to write the image then plug in the pi, set up wifi, and transfer all the necessary files over via ftp.

The first one took me months of tinkering to perfect, now I essentially just clone that first one. It's not hard, but it's definitely not as plug and play as you're making it sound

>>4547639
>it takes time and effort to filter out the shit

1000x this. I take a lot of pride in my romsets, they're an eternal work in progress making sure every game worth playing is included and every game that's dogshit/clones/half-assed romhacks isn't taking up space.

It disgusts me when I see people bragging about their complete nes game set consisting of like 4000 roms, especially since most people I know who do this only play games a couple times a year when friends are over, and then they only ever play shit like smb1/3

>>4547912
Yeah, the old adage that 90% of everything is crap applies to videogames, too. Full sets are full of shit. 90% by volume.

I've gone over the entire MAME library (as of version 0.158) a few times. Having snapshots really helps to visually filter out crap.

>>4548438
Ever thought about uploading it somewhere? I'm sure plenty of anons including myself would appreciate not having to go through all the bullshit of sifting through mame roms. My arcade collection remains pretty light because I hate all the extra hoops you have to go through with mame

>>4549192
Maybe I should write a guide instead. DIY is better always. I may have added games you consider crap or even entire genres you don't like.
