/vr/ - Retro Games

>>8685807
Lol
I pre ordered this when it came out and got a hat with it.
I wonder how much that goes for now.

>>8685807
I have it for Xbox

>this is getting ridiculous

>inkjet-printed cover

Emulate, chip your console, play on PC, play something else,read books, get out and meditate. Anything but paying lamo.

>>8685807
Downladed this for free haha stupid paypigs

Is it even worth buying Gamecube games anymore?
It's one of the few consoles out there that has confirmed issues with discs rotting

>>8685807
>why isnt everyone poor like me? STOP IT!

>>8685842
No. That is a rental case swap out. Looks like original cover. Rental cases used textured plastic since the cases are mostly made of recycled materials to save cost.

Why the fuck would ANYONE care about the price of GameCube games when you can play the entire library flawlessly on a hacked Wii
Everyone owns a Wii. You own a Wii. There's literally no excuse for not just hacking it, you're being pointlessly obstinate to insist that collectorshit for this console matters whatsoever.
The discs have no value outside of what collectorshits are propping them up to have. If you're thinking logically that is.

>>8685957
Yeah, thats the problem. You stupid ass faggot.

>>8685807
>worst version of the game
>is the most expensive

>>8685957
If you’re spending $120 on a video game that doesn’t mean you’re not poor. It means your stupid.

>>8685957
No video game in the history of the universe has been worth $120, not even Sonic.

>>8686252
I'll take a dozen of these. zoom zoom

>>8685807
This is why you soft mod all the old consoles you have

Gamecube is getting crazy. All the 5 year olds who grew up with it as their first system are now old enough to make adult money so there's currently a run on the thing. Its only exacerbated by the odd trend of there being a "Nintendo tax" in the secondary market.

>>8686072
A guy I know spent £60 on a Gamecube without even a controller when I told him for years all he needed was a controller and a memory card and he could play on his Wii. The reason he wanted one? Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3, which I genuinely believe did not get a PAL GC release, although I think it got a very limited PS2 and Xbox one. He also buy games he wants for the PS5 and Switch new despite not owning either console, I'm not talking about obscure shit that'll be hard to find in a few years, I'm talking Pokemon and Ratchet and Clank.

>>8686460
Can download whatever game that is for $0.00

>>8686529
Yeah why is Twilight Princess so expensive, I've seen it 100 dollars minimum and as high as 200 dollars. I dont think that game is very rare.

>>8685807
Huh, wow. Nothing can be done, I guess.

>>8686593
>Can cope whatever game that is with 0 IQ

don't buy it then and accept the reality. people were literally giving this kind of shit away for free a couple years ago but you missed the boat.

>>8686252
>mfw sonic on the mega drive was around 100 bucks here in switzerland when it came out

>>8685807
Some years ago I bought the PC version off of amazon for $40. It included the box even though it wasn't mentioned in the description.

>>8686593
can't download the hardware check and mate

>>8686694
Nothing to say? Easy W.

>>8686712
Makes sense considering how awesome the game is.

>>8686727
The hardware isn't a game kek. Stay on topic.

A lot of brick stores are trash because they Google the price and see the first listed price (often a high one). I don't know how they are suppose to move product there. I went to one yesterday and out of the entire selection only Forsaken and Soviet Strike was reasonably priced. Who is throwing down 59.99 for Spider The Video Game?

>>8686738
This is part of the tactic of some retro stores. They'll have a bunch of high value items on display that, while technically for sale, are mostly window dressing. Its acceptable for them to not sell for a while because it draws people into the store where they'll then buy a lot of the low value items that don't make good showpieces. That said, Simpsons Hit & Run doesn't really qualify.

>>8685807
Hey its "zoomer faggot complains about the price of collecting thread #52357"

>>8686734
>Coping to cope? Easy C

>>8685883
seethe emulatorfag

>>8686738
We do it because people do end up buying it. It's embarrassing to go to a store to not see a copy of something retard common like ocarina of time or mario kart 64 because they keep selling out. Mine are priced pretty high ($75 for Mario Kart) guess how many copies I have in stock. zero. want them cheaper? Get me more copies and stop buying them for such high prices. Scalpers come here to to buy and flip my games so you either want a business like this locally or you want more consolidation on the ineternet.

>>8686738
>>8686746
every hobby industry now is based around one-time or very infrequent purchasers, or whales.
the infrequent purchasers don't mind dropping a lot because they just want a very specific thing, and want it now. The whales are of course whales and will buy anything. There is no middle ground anymore, whether it's cards, action figures, games whatever, it's all only for those two markets.

>>8685807

/thread
i would also say flashcarts if ya need to do it on the tv but well give it a year or so now

>>8685807
Why would you not play it on PC?

Yes, speculators ruined the market. BTW these are the same conmen who did it in the 80s with coins and in the 90s with comics.
I stopped collecting games. I have flash modules for most of my systems now. I'm not paying astronomical sums to some dealer on ebay.

>>8687112
Col story reddit. You can go back now. Not a suggestion.

>>8687050
This coincided with Ebay's transition from an actual auction site to retro game Amazon. Buy-it-nows were always set higher than standard price but now that's all there is.

>>8687174
I never visited that site because /pol/ said so.
I'm serious. These are the same people, just with a different object as their scam.

>>8686746
>That said, Simpsons Hit & Run doesn't really qualify.
Yeah that's the thing. If it was Zelda or some SNES/PS1 JRPG I can see it as a window item that is expensive. Simpsons Hit and Run or Spider The Video Game? You'll be waiting a long time if never to move that game.
>>8687049
That's the thing, you can move those games if they are Zelda LttP, Mario World, Mario 64, Suikoden 2, and so on. But pricing Blasto for $79.99? Who are you catching with that? While it probably is Phil Hartman's last work, it isn't exactly a game people constantly talk about on the PS1. Compare it to Crash, Spyro, the PS1 JRPGs, Castlevania, Ridge Racer, Grand Turismo, and many others. It's as if they are actively telling me to just seek the games from the comfort of my own home and get them shipped to me.

>>8687207
I don't see anyone buying blasto for 2x ebay price. People do not frequently seek out well known bad games for exorbitant prices and those that do know the values of DKJr. Math and don't hesitate the cough up the triple digit price tag on it despite having no interest in playing it.

I don't know the circumstances of your local store.

>>8687092
Consoles are just better man.

>>8687220
Not in this case. The PC version has tons of cool mods, and support for high resolution and framerate.

>>8687049
You brick and mortar faggots are scumfuck losers for using eBay/online prices as your business model and can't sincerely believe youre going to be able to keep getting away with it because quite frankly if I want to throw down that kind of cash for a childrens game I will seriously just get it online despite you. I'm not paying these prices, I simply won't do it. you can sit on your precious stock as long as you want, its your livelihood on the line nigger. I mean when you're profiting off of childhood nostalgia it really seems like a gamble to ask for these type of prices because the people who grew up with this stuff are adults entering their 30s who don't play children's games anymore and ive got to imagine that a vast majority of these games mean absolutely nothing to kids today. I've been doing this for a long time and have already experienced and enjoyed a vast majority of everything worth playing but I guess I feel bad for the kids who havent yet that are getting their pockets picked by the greedy manchildren who are hellbent on ruining this hobby. Seriously fuck you

>>8687250
didn't read just wanna say we make over 100k in a month

>>8687251
Which probably has very little to do with your retro games sales. Yes I agree there are stupid and desperate people who are willing to pay top dollar for retro games but every single store in my area are sitting on plenty of product that doesn't move and really the only thing proping these game stores open are table top games and other various nerd culture schlock.

>>8686738
>went into a retro game store a few years ago
>owner didn't have a price tag on anything, just looked up ebay prices whenever you asked him how much something was
God I wanted to punch that faggot so much

>>8685842
It looks more like the paper was drenched in some sort of liquid, maybe soda or piss.
>>8687250
Don't worry too much about it. Most of the buyfags are just overpaid idiots passing around the same, shit-stained hardware amongst themselves at this point.

ebay seller here.
we choose price based on sold/completed listings.
this means if one single person buys some game for a retard price, everyone else prices their game that much and it can take a long time for the price to normalize again.

also some games at times will only have 1 listing, and an unexpecting customer will think that's the normal price and impulse buy, randomly changing the price to something it shouldn't be.

>>8687719
Which wasn't always the case since most of the time everything was an auction. Buy-it-now has become the defacto way Ebay operates now. I wonder what would happen if they removed the completed listings search.

>>8687251
Based, how are the monthly expenses and shit anon? I've always wanted to open a used vidya store but I always figured it'd be too unprofitable.

>>8685807
If there is a demand why isn't there a supply?

>>8685957
Theft and property crimes are wrong, except against bankers, jews, cryptocucks, scalpers and gamers.

>>8687730
You'd have to be in a major city like New York or Los Angeles to make anywhere near $100k/mo. If you're in bumblefuck it will be much harder since your customer base is extremely narrow. You might be able to get by if you also sell new merchandise but the profit margins on new games are razor thin.

>>8686072
But i want the plastic

>>8685807
It has a PC port that you can play for free if you are opposed to emulation for whatever dumb reasons.

>>8685815
I have an umtima one cloth map ony wall and last I looked I couldn't beven find one online to see the average price.

I swear this board fucking reeks of the worst kind of autism. Nowhere in the op did they say they want to play or own the game. It’s pretty obviously meant to express incredulity at the fact that some cunt is trying to sell a water damaged copy of an extremely common game for an exorbitant price. How the fuck is that so difficult to understand for some of you utter mouth breathing retards?

>>8687798
Why would you emulate over the PC version?

>>8687201
based 12yo conspiracy theorists

>>8687719
What a shitty system no wonder the economy crashes every five seconds

>>8687861
Collectors take any observation of their hobby as a personal attack and miss the point

>>8687861
>I swear this board fucking reeks of the worst kind of autism.
since when do we have chris chan types? taking the question literally isn't so bad come on

>>8687787
I've been to a few retro stores in the cities and I find they flip games like crazy, I asked what they'd buy my games for and they're only a LITTLE better than gamestop. I think with an online storefront and paying like $10 for normies retro games could manage to keep a store afloat.

>>8685807
Is there any reason this quasi shovelware is selling to this price now?

>>8687961
Gamecube versions of multiplats tended to have lower print runs than their PS2/Xbox counterparts. And Nintendo kids tend to be a little more rabid. Those two factors are the only explanation I can come up with.

>>8687932
That's usually how it works. The convenience of unloading games on the spot comes with the tradeoff that you aren't going to get Ebay prices. But at the same time they do have to be fair with higher value items because they don't want a reputation for offering $8 for a copy of Chrono Trigger.

>>8685807
Haha stupid nintencuck paying a premium for a shitty port with low res textures.

>>8687961
>it's gta+simpsons, this shit has always been popular
>simpsons remains popular and has seen it's nth resurgence
>this is debatebly the final good simpsons game ever made. it's also one of the only good simpsons games.
>millennials are in their coomlector phase now that the clock is ticking
>it's for gamecube, nintendo is premium priced autism
>retro games market is extremely overvalued and manipulated
that should just about cover it.

To give some context to how weird this is, NCAA College Basketball 2k3 is known to be the rarest retail release on the Gamecube with around 6,000 copies. The PS2 and Xbox versions had normal print runs but the GCN version was going to be canceled so they just printed enough to cover preorders.

Even that game goes for $200-$300. Simpsons Hit & Run can't possibly be rare enough to be $120.

>>8686252
Pokemon Stadium was like $120 when it came out. N64 games were regularly in the $80-$100 range.

>>8688006
Pic

>>8686125
Worst version is PS2, it runs at half the framerate, I think.

>>8688031
gamecube has mono audio like it's an n64 game.

>>8688010
pokemon stadium was NOT 120 dollars when it came out lol. my mother would not have bought me that game if that was the case and i got it when it came out. i want to say it was 70-80 bucks.
Star Fox 64 was 70 bucks at my local toys r us in 1997 (came with rumble pak), I think DK64 was even more, maybe 80 (came with ram expansion pak), and CBFD was 70 bucks (64mb cart) so yes oftentimes they were more than 60 bucks, but never have they been 100 fucking dollars. i wish my memory was slightly better but i'm pretty sure they were around these prices at retail.
somebody should find an old advert scan so we can figure this out.

>>8688062
It was literally half that.

>>8688074
that makes more sense, no way it was 120.
that being said, this advert seems to be using pre-release boxart for pokemon stadium and doesn't list it as coming with the transfer pak, iirc that did increase the price of the game but i could be wrong.

>>8688074
>$49 for the shittiest ridge racer developed by incompetent western hacks
imagine getting that instead of paying $19 for a new copy of R4

>>8685807
Is this standard for Hit & Run in America? I'm a Bong and can get one for £15 - £30 depending on condition and console.

>>8688857
>pal
i wouldn't take them bloody games for free innit

>>8685807
>local game shop in town has a copy of pokemon heart gold for DS complete in box with pedometer in a locked case behind the counter.
>$299

>>8688878
Do you even loot bro?
*peacefully protest

>>8688857
According to todays market its about 45 dollar game but in reality its a 20 dollar game or less

>>8688062
>NOT 120 dollars when it came out lol.
>i want to say it was 70-80 bucks.
What's the difference?

>>8689515
The difference is that if you handed them $120 back in 2000 you would get $40-50 back in change.
Dumbass.

>>8689515
>What's the difference?
Numbers. Cope. The list goes on

>>8685807
You can currently buy this on ebay for less than half that price

>>8687787
While I'm on the East Coast, I'm not in or near a major city. We also don't do much business online, only selling bulk junk (lots of sports games, wii shovelware, way too many 360 commons, etc.) Personally I think I'm just in a good area for it. It's all suburbs out here though.

>>8687730
rent for one location is around 2500/mo, utilities 300 or so on top of that. We cover rent in a day which has allowed us to expand. I wish I could say what the secret is, but it's basically just being the store you wish you had instead of gamestop. Offering good services, maintaining presence and relevance through simple promotion (even craigslist), not sitting on product and keeping product available and affordable. You get the occasional idiot that bumbles in "why is silent hill so much? It's so OLD!" well because if we sold it for you for $7 like you could buy it 20 years ago, someone else would come in and resell it for a $90 profit.

You won't please everyone, /vr/ doesn't buy games so I don't care about pleasing people who obsess over emulators. But you can please a lot of people, someone sells their stack of gamecube games worth $600? Well how much are they looking for? Do they understand that we need to resell things to profit? That your filthy old games are missing materials, may not work without restoration or are just disgusting and require labor to become presentable? Do they think $200 is a fair purchase? How about 250? Would 300 make them happy? Happiness is ultimately worth more than a short term gain, but you can't teach stupid people their copy of Mario they saw sold on the news for 1,000,000 dollars isn't actually worth that.

It gets to the point where if you're decent, fair, people understand the business, they will come just to see you. I'm lucky I can talk to people about SSX3 and they buy it and come in and tell me they have never had that much fun in their lives.

>>8689618
>but you can't teach stupid people their copy of Mario they saw sold on the news for 1,000,000 dollars isn't actually worth that.
Those "check your attic for these games!" clickbait Facebook articles that mention how a sealed Mario 3 sold for a billion dollars has destroyed the hobby. Its become baseball card and comic book levels of stupid. Earthbound being literally $2000 is just the tip of the problem. Its the side effect that nobody wants to part with anything anymore out of FOMO so everything shoots up in general.

>>8689645
On the plus side, that’s why flashcarts and emulation are such a welcome addition, never mind softmods or ODEs. You get to experience the console library without paying up the ass for eBay prices, and you can make your mind up about a game without justifying the hundreds spent on it.

>>8689645
It's just the retard side of the market that's shot. I don't like Nintendo games and urge others to get away from them because other games are cheaper and better. Earthbound? It kinda sucks. That's why it's really not worth $2000. It sold fine for an RPG back then but has so much pretentiousness attached to it, that it's selling for more than genuinely rare great games. It's 100% bullshit. Don't buy Earthbound. Buy something good like Dark Cloud instead. It's cheap, a great game with a fun story, and a cool town building mechanic. Earthbound won't change your life.

>>8687679
This. Every single "retro store" also sells trading cards. Not a single one survives off of old games alone.

>>8689804
"Cheap" is becoming relative though. Even a Super Nintendo, of which there are millions, sell for $80+ now.

>>8685807
>buying retro games

Imagine charging this much and putting a sticker on the cover

I'm glad I bought the dip in the early 2000s instead of trying to get in on the ground floor now.

That's a second hand case, probably reused from one of those gamestop cases, and I am betting 100% this is some shit store in the mall trying to pass these prices off as legit.

I think the vectrex is the only item in the picture I payed over $60 for.

The price of the game in 2000 was not 120 dollars in 2000 money, that’s the difference. Useless post.

>>8690003
Lol projector

>fagbuysgames.png

>>8685807
A bunch of retro stores I've been to aren't actually that bad when it comes to prices. Others will charge you $60 for a loose copy of Mario 64 or Final Fantasy IX, a game which was still in print as late as 2018. For anything that's ballooned in value recently, buying flashcarts, ODEs, or even just burning discs is the way to go. At least until the economy crashes and people realize all the collectible shit they were treating like speculative assets aren't as valuable as they thought.

>>8685807
Yep my game boy collection GB/GBC/GBA has gotten to the point where I am rich.
Drill Dozer was like 3 dollars 10 years ago but is now 120 at the cheapest.
I bought a copy of Yu-Gi-Oh Dark Duel Stories for 99 cents, which is now 15 dollars.

Should've invested in games instead of stonks ffs why are the prices so high?

>>8690906

>>8689943
He's not lying. In the early 2000s GameStop was liquidating their retro stock and had deals like buy 2 get 1 on NES games that were all marked for literal dollars. I got Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 for cheap. I was also walking out with 10 Game Boy games at a time for about $20.

>>8687251

I didn't get in quite that early, I got most of my stuff when sellers were using eBay to clean their basements instead of pay off their house and shops still kept decent games on the shelf instead of behind glass. I payed about $20 a game for most of my collection.

>>8691691
good for you bro, you are apart of the problem. just out of curiosity just exactly how much do you undersell people who bring games into your store? with how hard this gravy train is rolling are you at all concerned that people are going to cut the middle man out (you) and start selling their games online exclusively for maximum profit? why would i sell my game to your store for 10-20 bucks if its worth 50+ dollars online? do you ever feel like you're contributing to the slow suicide of this industry? considering your pawn scum perhaps this question isn't as relevant to someone who owns an actual game store but as we continue to move forward there becomes less and less reason to buy from a physical store as a consumer

>>8686738
The real answer is because there are rich (really upper middle class, not actual rich) onions boys and boomers who will pay. $120 isn't even a lot of money if you aren't poor. Most wagies spend that much on beer per week just to cope with the reality of their existance. I'm not defending any of this, just saying that enough of a market exist so that setting your price that high makes sense for items that don't sell quickly to being with. I'll keep using my hacked wii though, even though I'm actually rich (half jew trust fund baby)

>>8692382

The thing is I can see someone dropping that money on Chrono Trigger, but Areo the Acrobat, or some less known game that doesn't have a cult following? I don't see that game moving. If it was something like Mario RPG then yeah someone will pick it up, but how often do you even hear Spider The Video Game even discussed on a board that is dedicated to retro games? No one is shelling out 60 bucks for it.

It seems I rejoined the Game Cube party way too late. I have been seeing Fire Emblem PoR listed for over $100 LOL what is wrong with people?

I am now trying to buy all WarioWare games but for some reason they are all so expensive too... Fuck that. Where do you guys usually buy used GC and GBA games?

>>8685915
I just have all the GameCube games I wanted on my Wii HDD. Fuck paying the prices people want for these games.

>>8685883
>Emulate

>>8685915
not at all
just download the games you want and throw em onto a wii/wii u hard drive and you've got a nearly perfect gamecube experience
even if you want to use an actual gamecube for whatever reason you can just get it modded with an sd card reader for the price of like 2 games
instead of paying a gazillion dollars for games that are just gonna rot away in a decade use the extra cash to buy nice hardware like high quality official gamecube controllers or any accessories that might interest you depending on what system you're on (memory cards on og/wii, game boy player on an original cube, controller usb adapter on wii u, etc...)

>>8685883
or get a better job.

>>8687049
>Mine are priced pretty high ($75 for Mario Kart)
are you proud of yourself?

>>8689656
except that people who make flash carts tend to live in warzones.

>>8701368
can you use GC controllers for stuff other than smash on wii u now?

>>8685915
Collecting Gamecube games to play them? No.

If you actually want to play games, the gamecube is one of the most easily emulated consoles, and not only that the cheapest, most readily available console of all time has almost full backwards compatibility with it and a loader that practically has 100% compatibility with the entire library. And even then, if you MUST have a purple cube under your TV, you can still hack a gamecube and run loaders on it.

Like if you want to play gamecube, just get dolphin running or go fish a Wii out of your grandma's living room and hack it. No one has to suffer because smelee goes for like 300$ on ebay.

>>8701581
yeah, nintendont has had native support for the official adapter and the mayflash one for years it is really quite nice as it just works out of the box
not sure about other adapters but if they're based on the wii u adapter they should also work
for wii/wii u stuff it's a bit more limited, i haven't experimented with it much but there's patches & controller tools you can use to get them working i think

>>8690003
None of these games are particularly expensive or rare

If I were feeling frisky I'd offer you $20 for Balloon Fight.

Yo if you guys are so not poor and bad with money you should buy my Ideon bluray set for the current asking prices on ebay.

>>8702584
Respectable.

>>8703254
retro games are still affordable and even basic bitch overpriced shit like nintendo is dirt cheap, then you look up music and dvd/blu ray prices for hobbyist content and it puts into perspective how whiny some gamers are

>>8702820
>480p isn't perfect
well when you put it that way I guess there's no choice but to buy a gamecube, nvme adapter, 4 wavebirds, GBP+disk, component cable, and a sealed copy of TTYD (players choice edition)

>>8703623
exactly.

>>8701442
Lmao, get a job to buy games released 30 years ago that cost more than they were when they released when you could just run it through an emulator or just burn it on a disc.

>>8702820
>that has shitty 480p output quality.
Hasn't been true for years. That retroRGB article has ruined discussion of this.

>>8703778
>run it through an emulator or just burn it on a disc.
not the same.

>>8703984
The only legit way to play video games from your childhood is to build a time machine and reinhabit your previous body. Original hardware and legit games in 2022 is a cope.

>>8685807
>$119.99
That’s a bargain compared to what Go! Go! Hypergrind goes for now a days

>>8704087
Psh that's nothing. Take a look at Disney Sports Basketball.

The Gamecube is the new Sega Saturn.

>>8701368
Remind me, can Wii/nintendont handle fat32 256gb cards?

https://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?51193-THE-rarest-Gamecube-game

A message board thread from 2005 talking about rare Gamecube games. It's fun doing a side by side with Ebay almost 20 years later to see how right or wrong they were.

>>8701120
This, honestly I have no clue at all why you wouldnt run every Wii and Gamecube game off of a Wii USBloader. It drastically improves load times too.

Dokapon Kingdom already sells for ~$200, I figure in 5-10 years that shit will be worth $1000 before inflation

>>8685807
>Gamepube
You did it to yourself, OP.

>>8687689
Was this mother fucker at a flea market in Flowood, Mississippi, perchance?

>>8687689
There is this cunt who has a store that has a wall of 2600 games with no prices on them and will always look them up and goes by sold complete listings for loose carts. Word of advice was to never buy anything without a price on it already. Now however he has gone turbo-jew and instead of honoring the prices of stuff he still has on, he says he will look them up and adjust them based on their current prices, instead of doing the work himself to change his damn prices before hand. He also has owned the store for 40 years but has the balls to claim that he is not the owner and his boss makes him do it, just so he can weasel out of blame.

>>8702834
I can download all of these in under two minutes.

>>8703254
>there is a us-version of ideon
what what what

not gonna go through the thread and make a giant quote list but imagine unironically believing this is just how things are now, that we should all sit crosslegged on the ground and tongue deniz kahn's ball hairs, and accusing others of being "poor" because they don't submit to price gouging. like, really imagine being this kind of unthinking simian.

retro gaming equivalent of "just buy a bike/just walk" when complaining about unreasonable gas prices

>>8704830
if you could drive a car for free, or pay to drive it, which would you choose?
retro vidya is FREE

>>8704830
maybe if bikes were free to own and maintain, didn't require physical exertion to use, were faster, and more comfortable than cars

>>8704803
Few years ago they dropped a limited us release with the full series and two movies for fifty bucks. I'm just talking shit but I am glad I grabbed one when they were available seeing people trying to sell them for $300+ online.

What the FUCK is going on?! Is this just the bubble of bubbles because covid fucked shit up or is every PS2/GCN game going to be fucking Panzer Dragoon Saga?

>>8685883
or
>get a wii
>mod it for free

or, if you're really stubborn,
>get GCloader for $100
>install in 5 minutes

>>8685807
>119.
>We got that at the shop last week and sold it for about 50.
Dude that fucking sucks.

>>8704264
not 100% sure i remember hearing there was issues with cards over 64gb at one point
i would just suggest getting a 256gb external drive, you'll need to get a usb splitter cable or have it be an externally powered drive but it is worth it as sd cards can have issues with loading anyhow

>>8685807
>getting
OP it went passed that point a long time ago. Invest in a GCloader.

>>8704286
theres plenty of games that arent rare that sells for way too much.

>>8704830
Unironically yeah, not a weird coincidence a top 10 fattest nation on the planet is resistant to anything that expends physical effort.

>>8705517
The picks in that thread are all pretty on the money. A couple are currently in the $20 range but most of the games mentioned are $50 minimum today with some being over $100.

>>8703254
Totally forgot I bought this.
Haven't even opened it yet.

I'll eventually get around to watching it; got a huge backlog.

I wanna see some deaths like that kid getting his head zapped off.

>>8704830
Owning consoles is throwing money at a decrepit Subaru.
Emulation is driving a Ferrari for free.
One doesn't have to be poor to make sensible choices. When your only response is HUR HUR U POOR you're completely admitting your own stupidity at wasting resources on an inferior solution.

retro gaming equivalent of "just download a car that's 99.9% identical to the original car BUT it will never be the same experience as buying it from a dealership. The reason you won't pay 10x the original MSRP for a used car is becuase you're a POORFAG."
