/vr/ - Retro Games

Shouldn't you be asking reddit about that garbage?

I have it on display in my living room to ward away evil spirits that may wish to abscond with my virginity.

>>9205372
Yes because Mario RPG and FFVI didn't get a euro release

The controller hurt my hands. Am I the only one?

>>9205372
Yeah, playing Chrono Trigger on mine right now

>>9205372
yes

>>9205412
cope and seethe

Never got to own one because of the scalping surrounding Nintendo's mini consoles. I'd really love to have at least one of the controllers to use on the Wii and Gamecube, but even the shit condition ones are pricey given what they are. Pic related is lopsided because the guy forcibly pried it open.

>>9205479
You can find one with 2 controllers for 70€

Yes it's a good machine. Especially with 8bitdo controller

>>9205552
Poorly crafted bait

Not to me. Been seeing ton at Best Buy.

don't real SNES have problem with CPU failure?

>>9205769
I thought that was mostly an issue with US models and SFC and PAL SNES did not have the problem.

>>9205479
No excuse. The NES got a rerun, and the SNES was easy to get.
They put out way more because people got butthurt about how quickly the NES sold out initially.

>>9205372
Not lately, but it was worth it for all the nostalgia of playing 2-player with my siblings.

>>9205479
Got mine cheap at yahoo auctions using jauce, well, shipping notwithstanding.

>>9205769
I have heard that however it's also a question as to whether it's actually CPU failures and not something else like broken traces. The reason I say that is because the eject lever on the SNES is a pretty poor design and it flexes the PCB when used which may crack traces.

>>9205372
Yeah, I still use mine to play romhacks and fan translations.

>>9205617
?
With most cores I prefer using an M30 to the SNES controller

>>9205442
Yes.

>>9205984
I believe actually fried chips would be hot to the touch? That should be a good way of determining if the CPU is at fault.

No, because I never bought it in the first place.
>paying $80+ for a handful of roms
no thanks lmao

>>9205372
>still

>>9205372
>bought this exact product 4.5 years ago
>stopped using it 6 months later
>been stowed away ever since
it's not that i don't like the product or that i was bored of it. it's that feeling of dread that comes from cherishing or valuing something that can very easily be lost - so you subconsciously distance yourself.
as a kid, when they discontinued products, a few years afterward i thought it would be cool if they would remake them again (the naivete of a child and business practices) in full swing.
these little classics consoles coming back to store shelves, albeit for a limited time, was a refreshing experience for a change after roughly 20 years.
but looking at the way life is, it doesn't matter anymore.

>>9205984
I'm positive it's the shit power filtering on US models because it doesn't appear that SFC or PAL SNES have that issue.

I found a loose controller for like 10$ that I use for Wii VC, it's pretty nice. I wish there was an N64 version.

What the fuck are you talking about. How do you just lose a console that you have hooked up?

>>9205984
this?

>>9205372
yes this and my american snes
i use the hyperkin one the most as it has hdmi and av so if im just testing a cart real quick all i need is a 5v charger

>>9206707
jesus christ
i just realized its the mini
i collect them but i dont recommend it
there are better cheaper emulation options available


its kinda neat if you can get one at MSRP
i have the complete retail library but it clunks titles in to folders of 30-40
so i close my eyes
scroll randomly and play titles from within that folder randonauting

ive found some cool titles like this
but i will admit its kinda autistic

>>9206695
Yes. The better question is do those chips get hot when running (I mean like scalding hot so you can't put your finger on it)? if not they may not actually be dead and the problem could be something else like a broken trace.

>>9206716
yeah it was mentioned that the eject lever flexes the PCB and might break traces. it's hard to say though.

>>9206568
if you've never been homeless before, been poor and subject to the fuckery of shitbag landlords to where you have to scrounge up cash by any means necessary, or have served a lengthy sentence,
losing everything,
you wouldn't understand.
it doesn't take much for things to go wrong, and when it does, everything is taken from you.
it doesn't matter if you manage to rebound, everything going forward is laced with cynicism because you know how little it takes for it all to slip through your fingers and that your perceived achievements, possessions, and existence are just for show - redundantly temporary.

Should've said funcoland, it'd at least be funny.

Quality post

>>9205372
are there any bluetooth/2.4ghz controllers like that for sale?
All I can find are shitty 8bitdo versions and they ruin the aesthetic

>>9206795
fuck man, sorry to hear about what you've had to go through.

I was using it until last sunday I accidentally loaded a state instead of saving and it overwrote the savegame for Super mario World.

I ended giving up and restarting on Retroarch with a 8bitdo snes gamepad (the old shameless snes clone before they changed the design).

I just ordered an OSSC, so the mini is problably being relegated to the status of display piece. Real hardware RGB Snes + Snes Powerpak, and I will probably get one of those 8bitdo gamepad adapters, or maybe some membrane replacements. for the snes gamepads

Still, I like the little device, and I would probably bring it with me on a trip. Still better than the Switch Virtual Crapsole
