What /vr/ items are you currently wanting to purchase or have bought recently? I want pic related, but for $120 minimum for a non working unit it is a hard sell.

These are my next planned purchases, not all at once but my main goals. Over the last month or so I picked up RE Director's Cut Dualshock, Wild Arms and Sub Rebellion. Also bought a copy of Rogue Galaxy but the disc did not work.

I've also thought about getting one of those, but from my research it's a huge ass hassle to do maintenance on it in the current day. It's too old, and even if you do a re-capping and re-lube the gears, you need to cross your fingers and hope the laser itself isn't in need of replacement. It's why I've decided to instead just settle for a Super HD System 3. The parts aren't going to crap out within a month of use and serves as a flashcart/ODE. Haven't bought one yet since fuck paying 275 Euros plus extra because I'm American and need to pay even more, just gonna wait for Christmas and hope Terraonion does a holiday sale for it.

Anyways, I just placed an order for Virtua Fighter 2 (USA CIB Long) on Sega Saturn. That new anime has reminded me that I've neglected my Saturn, so I'm looking to build up my physical collection beyond the cardboard Daytona and disc-only NHL 96 I have right now. Too bad Saturn games have always been expensive as fuck unless you settle for jap copies.
Maybe I'll just get that Pseudo Saturn Kai thing, apparently it's how you play pirate copies but also doubles as the RAM cart?

I just got a really good deal on 8bitdo's NES30 and SN30 (2.4ghz) controllers from the local thrift shop, already had Retro-Bit's bluetooth Genesis and Saturn controllers so I'm one step closer to completing my collection. Now I just need the 2.4ghz TG-16 controller, the Yok or JoyRetro PS Classic controller, Hyperkin's Admiral for N64, the Big 6 Genesis controller (not out yet), and maybe the M30.

Keep in mind that the emulation of the disc on the TerraFagnion SD System had notable errors that caused inaccuracies in some games. I don't know if they fixed it in the new revision. To be quite honest, this is one of the systems that you're better off just using mednafen, since it works almost flawlessly.

[Anonymous No.9146216]

I'm pretty close to just giving up on physical games at this point, pic related is the average retro seller these days

Thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, and let everyone in meatspace know that you're looking for old shit.
People I barely know will just give me systems, games, and computers. It's still useless junk to 90% of the population.

Always wanting to purchase anything that's a steal. Picked up some a few months ago. Already have 3 of your pic related. Sucks to be a bandwagoner I guess.

[Anonymous No.9146236]

Can't really think of anything. I own the vast majority of shit I want, I guess at some point I want to get a twin stick and maybe a DC arcade stick, but they're pretty expensive these days.

Waiting on shit to be delivered.
NTSC PS1. Stuck in Australian customs for "(Specific reason)".
Xstation + Memcard Pro from Castlemania games. Hasn't even been set yet since I purchased it early last month. They weren't pre-orders. I have submitted a ticket, but haven't heard anything.
Boxed NTSC SNES.

Recently got a ton of flashcarts. The Atari 7800 Concerto cart, the Atarimax Ultimate SD Multicart for the 5200, and the Jaguar Gamedrive.

Daggerfall CIB, been my white whale for awhile, thrifting never found me a hint of it. So I just sold an expensive catch of mine to get what I wanted. So fucking excited. Even built a period accurate PC for it.

[Anonymous No.9146505]

>>9145979
just get one of these bro. they're worth the $ because it's all in one so no need to collect all expensive system cards and you don't have to deal with physical discs and drives.

Kinda /vr/, My Arcade Galaga.
Found at a thrft store last night. Minor leak in the battery compartment, and missing the stick, but for $3, I'm not complaining. My mini-arcade is coming together, got maybe a dozen of these things now.

Dude, honestly just do a PayPal chargeback right now. Castlemania is a huge scam and people often wait six months to over a year for their shit, and that's from people living in the States. He doesn't read tickets, wont respond on Twitter, he's just a jackass who takes people's money. I ordered component cables from the guy, not a pre-order, waited six months for him to ship them and then the retard forgot to write my apartment number on the package so it just got sent back to the mail centre, where he never called them to have it re-directed. I'm an ausfag too btw. Save yourself the hassle, do a chargeback, get your money and buy that shit elsewhere. He fucking sucks and is only in business because of partnerships with YouTubers.

Castlemania takes forever to ship anything out. I have a feeling they have very little actual stock on hand.

People who order Xstations from Ryan at Castlemania often complain that it takes upwards of 6-8 months to recieve it. Their business sucks dick and it seems like Xstation and Memcard Pro stock is the worst offender.

[Anonymous No.9146681]

>>9146675
I bought memcard pro off 8bitmods and it took about that long for them to stock so I don’t see it as far fetched for them to take that long to ship

They do copy everdrives, it just takes them a while to catch up.
Do you really believe an ODE for an ancient console is more complicated than a modern laptop or phone? It has to be worth it for them to actually copy it.
As soon as they think it is, they'll do it.

Are you a goldfish? Do you often forget what you were talking about minutes prior? Go see a neurologist.

I guess it’s a hard concept for you to distinguish me saying for someone else to make one and a complete copy which would have the exact same fucking problems

I'm eagerly awaiting my Steam Deck, coming by Monday or Tuesday.

I paid around $100 for the Super CD add-on in 2019 because I was too impatient to wait for SSDS3 stock to come back. Didn't come with AV cables, AC adapter, one of the plastic gears was broken, missing teeth. Spent another $25-$30 to get all those and it worked great for a few years. Oh, if you do buy one, make sure it has the power connector that goes from the add-on to the PCE itself. For some reason, stock ones on their own go for retarded prices, like up to $120.

Now it doesn't power on anymore and I'm thinking of just donating it to someone who knows a thing or two about fixing them and likes PC Engine CD games. I eventually got my SSDS3 last year anyway.

>>9146505
the fact that TO aren't selling new stock of the first model is fucked up. The extra SuperGrafx support is not worth the price increase IMO.
