Vinyl records are just grooves imprinted into vinyl so when the needle of a record player goes over them is creates sound. Old games are either circuit boards with special chips or CDs with special data on them for DRM. All the companies closely guarded that shit and when is was time to be done with it just threw it out because they don't want to waste time or money on limited rereleases.

Vinyls are just a type of plastic, right? Cartridges are silicon, plastic, and metals all rolled into one with some cartridges having special addons to give more capabilities. Seems like a bad comparison.

[Anonymous No.8646340]

>>8646282
the reason theres still a market for vinyl and not cartridges is because theres a legitimate sound advantage to records compared to digital and cd, while cartridges only have gimmick appeal compared to installing rips on your computer.

I disagree. If anything, i think these will only become more and more common as the quality improves and with the success stuff like the retrobit/natsume rereleases have been and stuff like mini plug n play consoles, more rights holders are going to notice a market for these in the same way an new vinyl to an extent. No Nintendo probably wont ever do them, but big companies like Capcom and Konami are and thats pretty substantial. You also have clone systems become the equivalent of "modern record players" for those without original hardware and full release homebrews on cart have only gone up greatlyin frequency so people still want to buy new games for this stuff. If they know they can squeeze cash out of digital rereleases, i doubt they are going to completely ignore this market that they can also easily get some revenue out of by working with these publishers willing to do all the work for them for new printing of old stuff.

It would make more sense for CD based games but we are clearly not there yet because I don't think there is a single one done.

Cartridges need a mold for the plastic cart and boards for the actual game. Those will cost money to even start producing on any kind of level. It could get bigger through the third parties that are already doing it but it will be a while like I said, not right now. Records never really went away and started to really come back, in a way similar to old games are now, in the mid to late 2000s. Reprints were kind of rare and it was mostly bands that just wanted their shit on vinyl. So yes, it could happen. But I say it wont for at least another 6 years.

This stuff is like the midwit filter.

Yeah, I just don't see the point. If I were gifted one, sure, I'd keep it, but if I really wanted a Mr Gimmick as a collection piece, would I be happy with some modern repro? Probably not. Better to just save that money toward the real thing, and if that's totally unobtainable, put the money toward some other collectible that will be "the real deal" and not a modern cash grab. Maybe if I had one of their releases I'd change my mind, maybe they're really nice and high quality or something, but I just can't place something like that as a suitable swap for the original release.

>Vinyls can't be easily pirated
Most wrong statement ever. You can pay for basically anything to be printed on vinyl if you want. Also vinyl does not really have a historic value greater than games. Music is re-released all the time. Unless you're a collector who is obsessed with owning an original version, then it doesn't matter. It's not like owning a record or game is historical in the same way as owning as master recording or source code is.

The reason why CD-R's ruined Dreamcasts was due to improper disc dummying. This caused the Dreamcast laser track to wear out.
The biggest culprit was the SNES emulator that excessively scanned the entire disc every time you wanted to browse the game list.

This is easily solved by placing dummy files on the disc and use a game list file for emulators.

The fact that so many video game critics still name the Mario games as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" video game franchise ever only tells you how far video games still are from becoming a serious art. Film critics have long recognized that the greatest films of all times are Citizen Kane and The Seven Samurai, who were not the most famous or richest or best box office successes of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial 2001: A Space Odissey over mainstream films who were highly popular in cinemas around America. Video game critics are still blinded by commercial success. Mario games sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Film critics grow up watching to a lot of classic films of the past, literature critics grow up reading to a lot of classical books of the past. Video game critics are often totally ignorant of the video games of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Mario games did anything worthy of being saved.

I'm kinda surprised chinks haven't yet started doing reproduction PS1 games
They can print discs that bypass the copy protection as seen with discs like the Breaker Pro. I assume it's just a matter of the process not scaling down very well so they'd need guaranteed sales of thousands to make it worth doing

They have lost to Russians in that race decades ago and still can't recover.

If you're buying an official print, chances are you don't want to play it non-official consoles.

There is a taboo against adults buying posters? What part of the world are you from?

[Anonymous No.8650573]

Not that anon, its not about part of the world but more the kind of income level you and your peers are around in. Generally its expected that you stop hanging up posters after you graduate college and decorate your place like an adult.

If you buy those "niche collector products" to expose them on a shelf, doesn't it also break social norms just as much as hanging posters?

I hadn't heard about this, but the pressing plant I used back in 2018 went out of business the next year. It looks like the industry is going through a hard time right now. There's so many moving parts involved in getting a record pressed, it goes through like 6 different companies before you get the final product. That's why we should all point and laugh at this retard who is objectively the most wrong in this entire thread >>8646408

Another thing wrong about this post: this guy has no idea how much collectible records go for. First prints and underground releases are very valuable, some more expensive than most retro games

Yeah that's stupid, the pressing plant I used had a minimum of 100 and was $400 cheaper

By the way, the record in your video costs $80 to make.

Aren’t mostly all modern vinyl releases digital or something and therefore hot have the audio advantages that older vinyl releases had? They’re not releasing the soundtrack for “sound quality” that’s for sure

[Anonymous No.8653276]

>>8652574
Represses of old vinyls generally keep the advantages. Vinyl tracks of something like anime or video game soundtracks just don't because the songs were originally produced digitally, so you're just downgrading the audio quality by transferring them. They're 100% just collector's items and nothing else.

>unlike retro consoles.
People who buy physical games consider fpga emulation consoles pretty legit. Then there's even "more hardware" (but less accurate) clones.
>>8646340
Quite the opposite. Vinyl is worse quality wise than anything digital (within reason, e.g. 128 kbps mp3 and up). Real console is better than emulation, mainly because of all the interface and ux problems. (but you don't need real media as use flash carts exist)

[Anonymous No.8655135]

>>8646656
If you're talking about simple rom carts then fair enough, but actual hardware that has complex chips - not just consoles but also many nes and snes carts too isn't really being replicated by clones to the original quality. Ever heard how many bugs "nes on a chip" are having?

Nevertheless it's very likely they played Pacman, Space Invaders and Super Mario Bros.
Maybe familiarity with earlier work is less so due to games being newer media but don't dramatize, your perception is such since you're really into games.

Wrong, before localized editions appeared shelves here were full of Asian PS1 bootlegs.
I can't test it myself cause my console is modded but I wonder could they boot on an unmodified one. Couldn't think of any reasons they couldn't have copied the protection layer. To clarify - of course all the bootlegs are pressed, not CD-Rs.
>>8649471
What surprises me more that chinks haven't been reproducing PS3, PS4, Xbox One games. I guess laws are enforced when it's about serious business and if you go full yolo then it's easier to counterfeit money like North Korea does.
