I was never in the "OMG HE 3D PRINTED IT" crowd, more like in the "...why can't he just actually get it to someone who can simply open up the thing, and test what's on the cart?". I understand this is supposed to be very rare so all must be done with the utmost care, but this isn't a skeleton from 10m years, it's just a console from 20+ years. It's okay, anyone with basic electronic knowledge could open it up, I'm not even saying he should turn it on, simply open the damn thing and take pictures of the inside. Also the cart ROM could be easily dumped, just like any other regular Super Famicom cart.

Now he's going to travel to the other side of the world with it? Keeps getting shadier and shadier.

I think it is important to keep in mind that the finder is a guy in his mid-20s who doesn't appear to have a very strong personal interest in older videogames. To a lot of people on here, it is no big deal to open up a game console (or other piece of electronics) and look it over, mod it, or repair it. For all we know he has never done anything like that before. Not everyone feels comfortable around technology beyond its basic, creator-intended use. Not to mention the fact that he probably understands its value and would hate to blow a ticket to an easy few grand just because he wanted to test it. In fact, it would almost assuredly sell for more completely untested than it would fried.

I'd also not be surprised if a significant portion of his interest in this stems from the attention it seems to be bringing him. I guess try to think of it from the point of view of someone who found a mysterious relic that could potentially bring him easy cash rather than as someone who found something in which he has a strong personal interest to examine, use, and appreciate for just what it is. I could be wrong, though, but since the game he touted as being one of his faves was UT for DC, I doubt he still has huge interest in stuff prior to that.

Anything can be made to look old and worn if you just take the time and effort, and know what to do, even if it's something that's all new.

to be fair Sony vs Nintendo in gen 5 already delivered more and better games than all the SEGA vs Nintendo years. Also if they get tired of making games, they will just go get back to make TV's and probably sell all their franchises to MS.

So why CAN'T you fake the yellowed plastic?

Tell me, why can't you somehow produce the plastic in the proper colors, why is it 100% inconceivable to you that the plastic could be fake? I'm not saying it is, necessarily, but you seem offended at the mere notion, you adamantly claim this is impossible but you don't really give an explanation as to why.

I suggest that the plastic -could- have been made to look aged, or treated to look aged after molding, or otherwise look to be aged, why couldn't it?

He could put it inside a tanning booth for a period of time. I think it's real though, because the discoloration on the unit is not a consistent shade across the unit.

Why is it yellow in the first place? If it sat in an attic for 20 years, the bromine in the plastic wouldn't've been exposed to any UV in the first place.

>> No.2712079

>>2711885
It was only in an attic for 10 years when the dad took it home from the office. Besides, Super Nintendos have been found yellow when taken out of sealed boxes, so it's not impossible to yellow from being in an attic

>> No.2712142

>>2712079
I'm not saying it has never genuinely happened, because I haven't done any research to demonstrate that, but if I opened a "sealed" box and found a yellow console, I would say "hmm, looks like the guy who sold this to me ripped me off by giving me a re-sealed box."

Anyway it just strikes me as odd, like he/his dad thought "oh boy, if it's not yellow someone is gonna say it can't be old. Better make it yellow." Of course I can't prove that happened, and I don't have any reason to believe that other than a hunch.

>> No.2712282

>>2712142
No one's claiming it was in a sealed box or that it wasn't already yellow when it went into a box for x years. It's entirely possible that that it could be naturally yellowed if it was legit. Which it's not.

possible the people running the expo dropped a bag of cash in front of them. it's happened before.

never said you couldn't reproduce this by using UV lamps. I said you couldn't do it by "dyeing it" or "staining it with coffee", big fucking difference

>>2710883
you say "god tier bullshit" yet offer no evidence to the contrary. achievement unlocked I guess

and wtf am I "shilling" for, autist?

>>2711020
you could conceivably do it by exposing the plastic to UV lamps for a very long time, but this then assumes that the shell was printed using ABS-infused bromine, which I find hard to believe.

Moreover, the yellowing isn't uniform and consistent across the unit. This could also conceivably be faked, but now we're approaching "9/11 and JFK was the Mossad" levels of conspiracy theory bullshit.

the simplest explanation is usually the correct one, and, in this case, the simplest explanation is that it is real.

sorry to shit in your cereal.

>> No.2712396

Considering it was only recently discovered, not really. I think that this convention is probably new, the organizers want to build hype by cashing the owner out to show up with the proto. it's smart marketing.

now, if we find out that he was approached to attend, say, Portland Retro Gaming Expo and he declined, then I'd be vastly more suspicious.

>> No.2712505

You could be shilling for fun or profit. Who knows. No evidence is going to change that. You asked if I did a whois, which I had. That, and the facebook page prove this "expo" was pulled out of someones ass maybe two weeks ago. I'm certainly not going to try to learn you how coloring plastic works when you can't even manage that.

I think the whole thing is a fake. Right from the story of the unit. This was all orchestrated by the guy's dad who published fake articles and staged any sort of showing or media release with actors and models such as this one. Dude forgot about it and never profited due to finding safer and better employment than trying to earn from a scam, son rediscovered one fake unit, and now Dad, wanting some extra scratch, finally decides to bring the whole project to fruition. So yes, it is real, but only in the sense that it is a unit from the time and not that it is a real project between the two companies. Anything to the contrary is simply thanks to foggy memories, false data, and co-conspirators spreading bullshit for the hell of it.

Case closed.

>yellowing lends neither authenticity or suspicion
That's exactly what I'm saying. If it were unyellowed, people would say "hey, that doesn't look 20 years old!" Being yellow doesn't prove or disprove anything, but it prevents people from bringing the color up as a point of suspicion. Thus, they had some motivation to artificially yellow it if it were indeed fake.

>> No.2713412

If it's real i really hope that customs or anyone who wil handle it in some way won't take it away. Like "sorry sir, somehow your luggage is LOST".
Some time later we suddenly see clone consoles which emulate that thing made in hong kong.

Also who knows why he chosse Hong Kong at all, maybe making some business with people to give/sell them everything of info they need to make clones..

Somehow every further step by him smells more fishier than before. Actually i believed at first but this announcement suddenly made it even more unserious.
Maybe he even choose Hong Kong because he knows only very few will have chance to see it then who might detect that it's actually fake.
