flyboi posted:I did a similar deal but use the snes gb commander controller. It's pretty awesome. Dammit, thanks for reminding me of another thing I wanted to grab now that I have a little money. Today I bought Road Runner's Death Valley Rally for the SNES. Rented the poo poo out of it as a kid, partly thanks to it being the cover game on one of the handful of issues of Nintendo Power I had. I remember the controls being pretty, uh, wild, and the game not being held in terribly high esteem, but drat if that stopped me from enjoying it. Haven't popped it in again just yet but I'm looking forward to it. I have similar feelings about the Taz-Mania game. There were a lot of Looney Tunes games on SNES.

Hey guys, I haven't read this thread in two years/ 50,000 posts but have they come out with a GameCube to HDMI adapter yet? I seem to remember something about them being very expensive and I'm looking for a way to play my GBA games on a nice big screen My next option is finally having a use for my Raspberry PI but I'm not sure which emulator suite is best and the downside to going this route is I wouldn't be able to play my saved games on my various cartridges (Pokemon and Fire Emblem especially) Edit: unless the easiest route is a homebrewed Wii and if that has a way to connect to HDMI FAT32 SHAMER fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Mar 8, 2016 |

I seem to remember something about them being very expensive and I'm looking for a way to play my GBA games on a nice big screen If you have an original DS or DS lite and a flash card, it's real easy to back up and restore GBA cart saves with a utility so you can rip your saves, play them in the emulator, then restore them. The easiest route to emulate that stuff on an HDMI capable system would be through the vWii in a Wii U, but note that it will display at 480p. If you want it at a sharp 1080p resolution, a retropie setup is your best bet.

(I mainly do it to give myself 99 of every TM in the Pokemon games because after playing the newer games that have unlimited-use TMs, single-use TMs you only get one of can get hosed.)

If you want it at a sharp 1080p resolution, a retropie setup is your best bet. That's not entirely true, since it does get upscaled to 1080p, but it is rendered still at 480i/p according to the game and your settings. It does have far better compatibility than Dolphin though.

I seem to remember something about them being very expensive and I'm looking for a way to play my GBA games on a nice big screen There are a few people building them and selling them. One of the guys whose youtube videos on the subject that were pretty popular was about to start making more to sell but apparently got hit by a drunk driver and is recovering and not making them yet. Other people make and sell them though, but very small scale so who knows if you could even get one. I believe the schematics are available and maybe even PCB layouts as well if you have any experience with getting boards manufactured. I know the guy who reverse engineered the chip in the component cables made his stuff open source since he has no desire to make and sell anything, and others took it from there. I was just searching around a few days ago about that, but can't remember which sites had what. Shouldn't be too hard to search out. However, these are boards that you have to solder in yourself. I don't think there are any solutions that just plug into your digital port yet (you'd still have to solder to get audio, or they'd have to do a funky digital + A/V port solution). I think someone was at one time working on 3D printing the port casing for when a plug-n-play type solution is available... but I think the people working on it just gave up and went for the internal board instead.

The Coleco Chameleon has lost the Coleco brand, leaving it with, uh...quote:Retro has decided that the work that they have created is not sufficient to demonstrate at this time. Consequently, we can no longer proceed with the project and the Chameleon project will be terminated. This separation is amicable. We wish Retro luck in the future.

Ah, yeah, I'm okay with soldering and stuff but my GameCube is mint and I'm a sloppy fucker I managed to grab a Silver Japanese GBPlayer before it got way more expensive to bring stuff over from Japan and while it's awesome, the only tv in my house that works with my GameCube is my old Sony CRTV in my basement  I've been playing GBA ROMs on my CycloDS Revolution flashcart but the original DS screen is tiny and i don't have the cash for a legit GBA flash cart (or any other equipment for that matter  ) Maybe for my birthday  Edit: for some reason my GameCube refuses to play the GBP disc even though every other disc I give it works fine and the GBP disc is in good shape...

There are different builds depending on what kind of setup you are using I.e crt, xrgb, 480p, etc. Have you tried the other versions?

It sucks that the Game Boy Player seems to be one of the very few pieces of Gamecube software you can't launch from SD. I have to disc juggle every time.

If I could still install the board in my GC without the digital out... I would. For your disk issue, my instincts would be to clean that disk just in case, then disconnect and reconnect the GB player from the GC (also unplug the GC and push the power button on with it still unplugged). Is it spinning up but nothing happening? If you leave the lid open, turn on the console then close the lid when it gets to the menu, what does it show the disk as?

Between this, backing up gc isos for use on wii u, backing up gc memory cards, and just general homebrew, Wiis are so handy to have around. Good thing they're so cheap.

Not sure who else I could tell this to, but one of my cousins got a Subor D30 for $5 on a scrounging trip. Any of you guys have messed around with them? Given the age and wear, and the complete lack of english on it it looks like one of the original early ones. Obviously not going to be valuable but could still be fun I guess.

Feels like they tried to make something slightly Sonic the Hedgehog-esque and just couldn't get the formula right. Road Runner feels really floaty and slow when he's not running and there's just too much platforming IMO.

Its the hardware version of restarting... power down, disconnect everything, hold down power button for a bit, then reconnect everything... I've watched enough IT Crowd to know restarting is the fix to everything. I assume some residual charge somewhere made it think the GB Player wasn't connected, so the disk didn't boot anything.

That said, since sales tax is deducted for international sales, it's quite cost-effective on the products where it does work, and it's fast, usually arrives 2 days after shipping; I've gotten stuff on "release day" (not really due to time difference but the calendar dates match) despite being on the other side of the world from them.

Comparing the price to play-asia it's $10 cheaper with just play-asia's cheapest shipping option. ~$15 if you go with their premium. Can't wait to blindly stumble through dqcraft
