ITT: Systems that are cheaper in Japan Anonymous Mon Dec 2 15:21:58 2019 No.6046864 [Reply] [Original]

I'll start off with the Saturn. Outsold the N64 there, everything's dirt cheap.

thank you based anons. Looking to get into retro now that I can afford it and the most daunting thing is actually hooking up everything nicely using a scaler, etc. So many fucking options and it's difficult to tell what's good and what's trash

Only killer is shipping. It is easy to go on a Yamatoku buying spree, winning CIB games for literally spare change up to maybe a few bucks, but their combined shipping fee jumps the total way up. Still can be a good deal, but shipping charges from Japan, be they real or inflated to make up for the dirt cheap sales prices, can screw you over in the end.

Not a system, but one thing to look for from Yahoo are Capcom arcade I/O boards.

Most modern TVs support NTSC nowadays so composite should work but don't expect a good picture.
If you're upscaling on a new set then I'd suggest a RetroTink. I
f you're going down the CRT route I'd recommend looking for an early model N64 and getting an RGB mod.

The N64 PSU is an external PSU, so can just buy a PAL PSU and plug it in to and NTSC machine no problem.

if you're going down the CRT

All of them, especially CIB. I got most of my CIB US stuff in Japan and paid less than I would have for loose shit on eBay.

>>6046909
If your daddys TV is actually PAL only then you need to sacrifice a goat to the village witch doctor and pay bribes to the fat nigger who's mud hut serves as the "post office" to import.

>how hard is it to hook up NTSC systems to PAL TVs nowadays

damn near all PAL TVs have scart input, unless you have some really ghetto model from the 1980s, so it's pretty simple. And damn near all of them support NTSC 60hz signal decoding, since the sets are first made in japan/usa and then outfitted to handle pal+50hz... they don't remove the ntsc part, just add the pal one.
