of course its possible, it's just expensive and you're better off with a set of flashcarts, ODEs and softmodded consoles

I've been collecting since 2006 and never stopped

[Anonymous No.8978739]

I just got out and sold all my shit a few weeks ago. Wasn't an amazing collection but I had a few hundred games, pretty rounded out between gens. In the last few years the market has become completely ridiculous and based on absolutely nothing, going up and up and up. So I quit I'm not gonna pay through the nose just to have a game that there's fucking 12 million copies of. I kept all my hardware though, gonna go the mod/flashcart route. I used to think that wasn't the real thing but the only thing separating that from modding is the game boxes and manuals so....not gonna keep wasting money for the rest of my life just to have the scratched up piece of paper or plastic I came in. I just don't want to interact with collector faggots anymore.

You can start collecting retro games now yes, but there was new autism injected into the community every few years that you’ll have to deal with now. Nintendo fans have been removing OEM cartridge screws and replacing them with fakes when they resell them so unless you’re willing to test them you won’t even know. That’s in addition to fake reports carts being sold as real.

Sure, you can do anything you want. I start building a library of games like 5 years ago. 400+ games later and I'm really happy about it.

But honestly I think most people should just stick to collections, digital downloads, or roms.

If you want to COLLECT games then you should just stick to stuff like Limited Run or similar. Those are made for collecting. But collecting is stupid. I have a library of games that I'm always playing or replaying. If you want to do that then go for it.

If you don’t care that’s fine but other people realize you don’t have the entire game if you don’t have the OEM screws. consider this. If you have the circuit board the game is on, and it’s in a different cartridge shell, so you still have the game? To some people you wouldn’t. what about not having the sticker on the cartridge? Or the manual? Or the box if you want a complete collection?

Yes. If the shell has been swapped for a different identical Nintendo shell you still have the game, similar to how you could swap identical genesis cases between games and still be considered to have the case (just change the sleeves). That takes care of the back of the shell, obviously the front has a label and that label cannot be replicated so you couldn't swap that.

>To some people you wouldn’t. what about not having the sticker on the cartridge? Or the manual? Or the box if you want a complete collection?
These are extra parts in addition to the original game that are nice to have. They don't fit your analogy at all - the swapping out the shell was something similar to swapping out screws and I dealt with that. Manual etc. are a totally different thing.

1. Speed running- the different screws have a different conductivity, and they can influence the speed the game runs, screws aren’t made from the same metal

2. Dwindling suppply- they want back ups to repair with

3.they sell them

4.they sabotage other carts by replacing the screws to make their carts worth more

I told a younger person the other day if they grew up with Wii or Xbox 360 and want to collect for that, that's fine too, but I feel like people specifically only want older + more expensive retro stuff, even if they're not that interested in it. But when it comes to kids especially it's really hard to watch them spend a ton of money on retro games without saying something

There was a kid on a server I used to go to who spent something like $80 on a copy of Gunstar Heroes, no telling how many other games he got like that, just so he could post a photo of himself holding it. It's a little worrying imo

[Anonymous No.8981684]

>Is it possible to start collecting retro games now?

No. A Used PS2 now costs as much as a NEW PS2 cost when it first came out. Many games are more expensive than when they first came out. And there are many games that are simply so rare that you can't even buy them- period.

I would stick to emulators, modded/soft modded + burned games (for disc based consoles) or flash roms (for cartridge based systems).

Get high quality DVD-R and CD-R discs while you can. DVDs/CDs are almost a dead format, now. ( I called "Best Buy" and they don't even carry them any more. :( )
I say this because
all pre- PS2/Xbox generation games are very easy to emulate, whereas PS2/Xbox/Gamecube games barely work on emulators and are full of glitches. (Don't even think about emulating PS3 or Xbox 360!) So you will have the best results with a modded PS2/gamecube/xbox.

Surprisingly, PSP games work flawlessly, however.

Hope this helps you/

It sucks because when I was younger (26 now so like 11/12 when the 360 came out) I was not interested in modern games at all and got really into retro stuff. I grew up with a PS1 and Mega Drive so I wanted a 64, I got pic related (boxed) with Pokemon Stadium with the transfer pak and 1080 Snowboarding for £40, that was less than a new game at the time. I remember all the cool neckbeards at game stores would give me deals and recs because they were happy that me as a kid was taking interest in the games they grew up with. I'd love to be able to do the same thing with any younger people into older stuff these days but unless you've got infinite funds I can't. I'm still a physicalfag but I've gotten pretty much every game I've wanted over the years so I don't begrudge the odd purchase but I don't want people to start from scratch in this day and age.

I mean old cartridge stuff was durable and held up but I can agree on systems like the Sega CD where these thousand dollar now games are just printed on some cheap CD and CD based systems are more delicate with the laser so yeah k think I will avoid the Sega CD even though I really want one have been looking into the Mega SD instead but it’s out of stock right now

Not too late, all depends how much you're willing to spend and what consoles you're aiming for. Will you be paying more than others did around 15 years ago? Yeah. Can you still find solid games at affordable prices at 15 bucks and lower? Yeah.

[Anonymous No.8983060]

>>8978073
Depends entirely on you. I avoided any unnecessary contact with the unwashed massed for most of the scamdemic, so didn't buy much of anything. The internet was full of shitposters shitposting about how it was impossible to find cheap shit in Japan any more, so I didn;t think I was missing anything. But I decided to hit the flea market at the beginning of this year and the prices were the same as before. Picked up a bunch of games for ¥100/each. Famicom, Saturn, X-Box, and some not retro. A famicom for ¥100 because it didn't work, but was just a simple problem on the video board. PS1 and PSP for ¥500 each.
So yeah. If you're not an EOP and are able to travel outside Nigerica/Eurostan you can start collecting on a shoestring right now.

Honestly, with all the re-releases and Nintendo failing to take down all the rom sites, it’s not too bad a time for physical or digital collectors. There’s always gonna be some stuff that’s hard to find, and if you want a collectors edition of a pre-2012 game you better have a big fucking budget, but all in all it’s an alright time for retro vidya.

90% of the time you don't even get a picture of the item. You have to trust that some random Amazon seller's valuation of "used - good" means the game works and doesn't have any major cosmetic issues. Also pic related, for whatever reason sellers on Amazon seem to always price things about double what they should. Probably because people just search Amazon and buy games without bothering to see what the actual going market price is.

[Anonymous No.8985631]

>>8985596
I looked at some other games and they were reasonably priced and matched what other sites listed, give or take a few bucks. Of course there will be those that high ball the price by double. On the other hand no pictures is a valid complaint. If you're shopping online for physical video games it isn't like you're just going to stop at a single place.

I started collecting loose game boy games last year and I basically have every game I'll ever want, around 100 games. Probably spent around $1500 in total. I'm completely satisfied and I don't ever see myself buying more game boy games in the future.

You can still get decent to great games for ten dollars or less. I picked up Stuntman this year for five bucks, same with Forsaken 64 for less than ten. If you're going to focus for Mystical Ninja Goemon, some Squaresoft PS1 JRPG, or Earthbound then yes you will be hitting that fifty dollars and over price. There are plenty of good games out there for a great price. If all you have is eyes for the most known/sought after games then yes you're up shits creek.

After playing all the classics I can safely say

No NES games hold up
Dragons curse on SMS does hold up
Sonic holds up really well
Mario world holds up
Saturn games have aged the best by far
PSx has aged the worst of all the consoles- the triangle jitter is the funniest shit ever
N64 holds up if you use a usb N64 controller
Dreamcast games are amazing
PS2 games at 4k play as well as anything out there today

There's pretty much no other way of playing arcade games (M.A.M.E), because arcade machines are extremely rare!

I remember hearing that Mark from "Classic Game Room" refused to use emulators, but had no trouble playing compilations (Like the Namco arcade and Sega Genesis collections) which are basically just emulators on a disc.

If you want the "true arcade experience" you can buy M.A.M.E arcade cabinet...

or just emulate on a PC.

We live in an era where the phone you carry in your pocket can emulate nearly every console from the NES to the PS1 flawlessly, and you would not be able to discern the difference.

The cost of raising a kid is really just what you want to invest. Billions of people do it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day, of OPM. It can actually give you freedom to do things you want but can't now. And I'm not just talking about how the cops are always telling you to stop hanging around the children's playground because you don't have a kid. There's literally a thread here right now with faggots crying about how they have no one to play games with. I've had kids to play games with since the N64. And not just my kids. As mentally stable children my kids had friends who would come over and play.
Having kids isn't for everyone and there are a lot of people who shouldn't reproduce. But you don't need to make excuses. If you don't want to perpetuate your variety of the species that's literally the best reason to not do it.

I started a few months ago, was big into it growing up and sold it all years back. Got a snes jr yoshi island bundle, something I always wanted, along with an nes and a genesis. Have realized it’s expensive as fuck and I’m adult now, I’m happy grabbing a few carts of games I truly love (luckily it’s mainly commons) when I have the extra money occasionally, other then that I’ll just emulate everything else

Look buddy, I'm not the one hammering out extensive diatribes trying to convince myself that having children was somehow a good idea because I could possibly play fucking video games with them once their brain develops enough.

If you enjoy having them, that's fine. Again, I wouldn't.

And I'm still agreeing with you that you should never reproduce. Not sure why that triggers you so much.

Only for virtue signaling or questioning moral choices. Otherwise, you're better off pirating and modding your system to play said pirates games.
Off topic, but pic related is what I got recently.

Haha, remember when Capcom sold people Final Fight with online phone-home DRM? Haha, that was cool.

Its insanely expensive, even more so than the grubbing nerds on ebay.

Remember when Midway sold us Primal Rage with the copy protection glitching out just as bad as MAME? Corporations sure do know best.

Not really. And most arcade ports are worse than the original.

If you have nothing at this point, then it's highly retarded
If you have a console and can't even manage to get a decentish collection because the prices are stupid, then it's not even worth to get one to mod/use it with a flashcart
Shit like Analogue and other clone consoles are also mostly just good for people that actually have a library
Just emulate at that point. "Collect" a collection on the new consoles
