/vr/ - Retro Games

Because it sold like 12 units, and now there's many thousands of sweaty nerds such as yourself that wanna collect it.

>>6447842
Sick burn.

>>6447859
I gave you an honest answer, nerd. The burn is on the house this time.

"I got mine at a flea market for $2.50. I'm dead fucking serious."

>>6447842
Yeah and now that I have it I have no idea what to do with it, start a Cosmic Carnage tourney scene maybe?

2007 was a better time.

That's usually how collectables work; dirt cheap in its time because nobody wanted one becomes priceless in the present because nobody has one.

>>6447835
Because zoomies like you want it

>mfw I bought a mother 3 deluxe box in 2010 for 100 bucks
>they're 1000 bucks now

>>6447835
What do you mean with expensive? I have 4 and they did cost 15 bucks each.

>>6447867
That's about what i'd pay for it. The price that terrible Spider-man 32X game goes for is much funnier though.

>>6447835
I got one for cheap to use it with the MegaSD

>>6447835
Can it really fuck up your Mega Drive games?

>>6448109
No.

>>6448082
It isn't even worth taking up the extra plug space, in fact the saddest sight I've ever seen is the same three 32X owners port begging in every homebrew Mega Drive game thread on SEGA 16.

>>6448015
Stop underage posting

>>6448237
Sad you don't know why people use it. keep quiet until you do, kiddo.

>>6448251
This

>>6448041
But your dumbass won’t sell it because you think you need it.

>>6448270
I never needed it, I just like it.

>>6448251
The supposed better A/V?
Reminder that most Mega Drive games are better with RF due to dithering.

>Reminder that most Mega Drive games are better with RF due to dithering

No.

>>6448290
the only way to connect your genny

>>6448290
no

>>6447835
They're not. Model 1 Sega CD's are expensive.

>>6447916
I got one of these from my work's lost and found. It's a total piece of shit. People only want one to say that they have one.

>>6448429
Exactly what is a total piece of shit about it?

>>6448434
Too fucking small, no backwards compatibility. Anyone is better served by a regular gba.

>>6448434
He's lying. These are great.

>>6448458
This.

>>6448458
What exactly is so fucking great about them?

>>6448462
Highly portable. Great screens. Better battery life.

>>6448480
So's an SP. Micro is overrated as fuck.

>>6448458
Yeah, how come Chinese haven't made a knock-off? I'd like something about the same size that plays other stuf, maybe a slightly larger screen

>>6447878
Get into Knuckles Chaotix speedrunning.

>>6447835
I NOW WHAT ITS WORTH! I SEEN THEM SELLING ON EBAY FOR $200 MY JUNK IS VALUABLE SONNY U GOT TO PAY ME.

>>6448485
No it's technically better you turbo mong.

>>6448579
Small enough you can enjoy shoving it up your ass. I'm sure for autists that far more important than a screen large enough you don't have to hold it to your nose or smooth, working shoulder buttons.
"It has such a long battery life for all the times I don't go outside! It's so small nobody will see I'm not talking to anyone at the dance but playing gameboy!"

These posts unknowingly spouted answer. Random people on Youtube making videos about something, people get interested again, reselling Satan worshiping child raping leeches see this and start upping the price of their trash. You sold it for five bucks in 2009 now you want fucking 200 you FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT I SHOULD JUST RIP THAT FUCKING FACE OFF YOUR SKULL I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE WHY WE'RE ALL GOING TO HELL HEAVEN DOESN'T EXIST YOU FUCKING FETUS HUMPERS ALL BURNT IT DOWN

>>6448613
You OK senpai?

>>6448480
I know the sperganon already said it but why not just use an AGS-101 model GBA SP? it's got a proper good screen at a size i don't have to squint at, and it's comfier to hold. Obviously an original-model GBA with a modded backlit screen would be the ideal formfactor tho, especially since rechargeable AA's are superior to proprietary rechargeable batteries.

If I'm staying at home though I'd rather just use GBI on my GameCube, though. Even the regular GBA's screen is very small for me and makes me strain my eyes, and I have very sensitive eyes so I'm going to prefer a big TV whenever it's possible.

How can anyone be a speculator without tearing their hair out?

>>6448015

>4chan

>>6448686
Based, you deserved it.

>>6447835
Define expensive because I got one for like $60 less than two years ago

>>6448686
I'm not a speculator though, I got it because I wanted it, and I don't care if it goes down in price later on. But even regular Micros are expensive, and Mother has the crazy cult following, so I dunno. I don't care either way, just glad I got it when it wasn't crazy expensive.

>>6447835
I paid like $40 for mine CIB just a few years ago why would anyone pay more than that? It's crap. It's only use is as a component piece of a tower of power.

>>6448397
RF is unironically better, look how seamless the curved graphics are, no jaggies at all.

>>6448251
People don't use them, they just buy them to put in the background of their shitty YouTube videos.

>>6450168
Get your eyes examined.

>>6448397
Rf looks better, the shining spots on sonic actually look like glare rather than just white spots

>>6450343
I've seen you namefagging around today and most of your replies were based. This one, however, reeks of zoomer.

>>6448397
Notice how the dithering effect on the red and white flag's left and right parts don't work with SCART, but it blends nicely on RF.

>>6450373
"Don't work" is a bit of stretch. It looks fine.

I better example would be the water in The Adams Family. This is the thing with the dithering argument, I think most people would agree that the blending is nice, but it isn't really that much of an issue for the games that people actually care about.

>>6448449
>what are gba flash carts
pop a microsd loaded with roms and a gbc emulator and you’re good to go. battery life lasts fucking forever too.

>>6447835
Such a failure

Sad part it's actually a good piece of hardware too bad there wasn't much good games for it.

>>6450152
I use mine to play those 0 good games for it
Actually there's one good one but I won't admit it

>>6450671
Cosmic Carnage is a good game anon, you can admit it.

>>6450457
The SVP add-on card showed far more potential than this piece of shit. I'm pretty sure there was a way to combine it with the SegaCD, too. But I'm not electrical engineer.

>>6450457

There's always the DEMOSEENNNNNN!!!

>>6450671
I'd rather just play Blackthorne on the PC. Those 3D sprites are ugly as sin.

>>6450676
The SVP was still limited to only 64 on screen colors though. And the 32X was still far more powerful. Really the issue here is Sega was trying way too many different things all at once. You had the SVP, the 32X, and the Saturn all within a year of each other. They just needed to pick 1, maybe 2 and stick with them.

The Sega CD usually gets thrown into this but it got released years earlier and was fine really.

>>6448109
It actually makes non-32x games look better

>>6448290
It's a ridiculously expensive add on to make shitty composite signals on most Models of the MD to look slightly less shit.

>>6450675
Sad thing is, in todays world of zoomerism, I can't even be sure you're tolling.

>>6447835
Half of them don't even work, same with most Sega CDs. I had to repair my 32X and CD more than once before I just cut my losses and sold the fucking things. Buying either is just asking for problems.

I think if they just added more display colors to the cd and focused on sprite games instead of fmv, it would have boomed in America the way rom^2 games did in Japan.

>>6450691
>The SVP was still limited to only 64 on screen colors though. And the 32X was still far more powerful.
It's not about raw power. It's about perception and cost of ownership.

SVP: can be easily spun as an add-on card, optional and nothing more.
32x: "I-Is this yet *another* new console, Sega senpai?! Too many! Too expensive! Boo!!!

One can practically market itself. The other automatically requires explanation, because to the untrained eye it *looks* like a whole new console.

>>6452771
>Half of them don't even work, same with most Sega CDs.
The MegaCD tried to use an consumer audio CD player as a CD-ROM drive. The results weren't pretty.

>>6452801
>>6452779

(What the hell?)

>>6450418
>emulation
Fucking gross.

The biggest crime of the 32x is that it breaks master system support. I'd take the the Master System library over the 32x library any day.

>>6452801
Blasphemer! Blasphemer! The Sega CD was the best thing since sliced bread. Better even than sliced bread. I'm going to call the cyber police and tell them you're lying on the internets.
