A store near me has a used SNES for $40. No discoloration, but it does look like they leave it on all day. Anyway, good price, right? Cheaper than anything I'm seeing on Amazon. Just wondering if I'd kick myself later on for not buying it.

I still plan to buy 6 Game Boy Four Player Adaptors, 16 Game Boys, 15 Game Link Cables, and 16 copies of Faceball 2000 one day, so as to play a full 16 player deathmatch in it.

I absolutely cannot imagine that all the games would actually stay synchronized over that kind of setup. The GB link port is extra lovely with an extra lovely non-protocol.

It's a port of MIDI Maze for the Atari ST, which ran up to 16 players over using the MIDI ports on the computers as a networking setup. Some people managed to get together a 9 player game of it and didn't have trouble actually playing it: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=23613.0 It was supposed to be 16 players but 7 people either didn't show up, or didn't actually have a copy of Faceball 2000 and a Game Boy with them.

I received the PS2 RGB cable today and tested the Mini. It looks like the Mini is at fault, the RGB input no longer works. It's just like the SNES. Audio works with all cables, the cable with the sync-stripper shows black picture, the one without shows no_input.  It's not a complete write-off though. Using S-Video for the SNES still results in an excellent image and I have also been using the device as a HDMI switcher. In case anyone didn't know, there are config options to set the HDMI ports to passthrough, useful in the situation your TV has limited HDMI ports. Also, the English remote overlay arrived from fatpat. It's great, thanks a bunch! Here's a slightly blurry photo with terrible lighting:

overdriveGTO posted:I need a CRT. Can anyone comment on a Sony PVM vs BVM? Specifically the BVM-20F1U vs the PVM-2030. TheRedEye posted:If all you want is a monitor that displays 480i or 240p signals in the most beautiful picture possible, you can't go wrong with a PVM. I've had a 2530 for about ten years and we've formed a strange emotional bond. Oh hey, I should weigh in here I guess since I have a Sony BVM-20F1U. The BVMs are as good as people say. The scan lines aren't too overpowering and the picture is pretty much fantastic for retro gaming. With all that said I don't know if they're really worth the extra cost over a PVM. Some negative marks for the BVM would be:

Discount Viscount posted:Also, in case you weren't aware R-Type Tactics got a Japanese-only sequel, Operation Bitter Chocolate, but prices for that are pretty nuts right now. OK, it was Command I was thinking of. Forgot Tactics was JP only. Speaking of prices being nuts, when the hell did the price for the Sega CD version of Final Fight spike? I was at a local game store today and they had a copy for $65. I thought that was dumb but when I looked it up on eBay complete copies were going for close to that, with disc only going for $25-$30.

ATTENTION, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GOONS http://www.sc3videogames.com April 26th, a Saturday. Held at The Last Arcade On The Planet in Santa Ana, California. For those of you who haven't heard of this event but are interested:
Because he seems to somehow miss the opportunity every year, I'm gonna spell this out for 8-Bit Miniboss: Bitch, if you wanna go, I will shove your goon rear end into my Prius. The fact that you don't have a car/don't drive is no excuse. You have 2 months' warning. Do the thing. Do the thing with the , and RSVP. If you RSVP but aren't able to show up, no big whoop. But if you're at all remotely interested in some serious-rear end video games, do it harrrd.Also yes, this is where I won a motherfucking Vectrex at a raffle last November. It's happening again. It's time to get ready. Get ready for .

Install Windows posted:I'd just hate for the official reproduction SNES/Genesis etc to be on the level of like the Majesco Genesis 3 where addons stop working and some games can't run. Whenever this comes up I feel the need to mention that the addon incompatibility was an intentional cost-cutting measure rather than a technical failure on Majesco's part, modders have been able to restore function of all 3 addons, although it is an extreme pain in the rear end for the Sega CD. The games that can't run are the addon chip one (fixed by modding) and one game (Gargoyles?) that used an illegal 68k operation that had been fixed in new manufacture 68ks when the Genesis 3 went into production, which is obviously unfixable.

Yeah I'm just saying, I don't want new official consoles to come out and then immediately need modding to use things. Though it brings to mind, an official repro Genesis system could come out that fully integrated genesis/32x/cd functionality and just need a single power adapter and a single set of a/v cables coming out. That'd be awesome, especially with not worrying about the 32x connection getting loose.

Fair point, the Wii Mini is already an example of what that would look like. However I don't think we'd ever see a re-release of old Nintendo consoles, the Famicom only ended in 2004 because the Ricoh parts ran dry, and I'd expect something similar of the SNES' parts to have happened by now since that one ended much sooner. EDIT: The closest I'd ever expect to see happen is Nintendo C&Ding some emulator box or fpga-reproduction-with-modern-video project and then pulling them onboard as an official product or something.

I think you have to time the button presses to the shaking of the pokeball. Seriously, Pokemon Red/Blue has to be the #1 source of fake tips and myths out of any video game ever created. Take a relatively in depth portable RPG, target the 8-12 year old market, and release it in the days of the internet's infancy where the only places to learn about a game were some guy's Geocities page or RPG Classics shrines and you have a source of a ton of bullshit on the level of "My dad works at Nintendo."

People were legitimately saying that you had to press a certain button combination at just the right moment in order to insure the capture. Of course, none of them could agree what the buttons were and what the timing was... FWIW, the last thing for me to do is defeat the Elite 4 and then I'll have completed my first Pokemon game. I'll be trying to do that tonight...

It just involves TASing the game, because every button input influences other parts of the game's memory and with perfect inputs you can guarantee anything you want through the RNG setup used.

Before I die I want to see a Sega system that takes Game Cards, SMS carts, Genesis and 32x carts, and Sega CD/Saturn/Dreamcast CDs, with full compatability. Would require some badass multi-mode CD drive and a front-end menu system. The fact that you can't even have 8 and 16-bit all-in-one without modding is disappointing.
