Grevlek posted:I did test it after removing that part. It didn't work. I noticed that it looks like the board got pushed in or something, and I've updated that link with some more pictures. The board doesn't feel loose but I didn't really put any pressure on the weakened board. I'm seeing what appears to be a decent size crack on the rear of the board below the battery. Am I right? If so that's a pretty big deal, you probably have multiple bad traces.

Monitor Burn posted:Edit: actually looking at the new pictures, it looks like there are broken traces on the board due to it being flexed and cracked in several places. I did this, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be when I read it. It did not work. I did another game for fun and it did work. ^^^ Yeah that's what I'm thinking to. I noticed they sell repro circuit boards, is it reasonable to think one could unmount the chips and other pieces and get them put on a repro board?

Don't bother with a repro board if you're doing that, import a cheap japanese game with the same PCB and swap the maskroms over.

Neddy Seagoon posted:If you absolutely gotta have a less-ugly version of OoT, get the 3DS version. It's superior to the original in every way, save maybe unless you want to do framerate-dependent bug-exploiting speedruns or something. OoT 3D really rekindled my love of the game and Master Quest was everything I wanted (I wish it was unlockable before beating the game, though). I'm tentatively looking forward to playing Majora's Mask 3DS because the N64 version really soured me on that game. All it took was a solid framerate and not-garbage UI.

So it looks like I can get the same PCB stateside, and its a sports game so I'll be hunting the pawnshops for NBA Live 96. I'm guessing I just have to swap a couple of the chips over, hoping that a couple of the native chips can stay on the NBA donor board. If this works, do I have to put an asterisk next to this game in my collection, or for all intents and purposes is it still the original game?

The Columbus Gaming Expo was pretty fun. Always nice to play a free game of DDR Extreme and shop for retro games. I forgot the Euro 32X games come with frozen dinner trays:  Copy of Sonic & Kunckles I picked up has some way past cool merch:   Ditto for Virtua Racing. Check out the sick competitor for the Apple Watch, and that denim jacket

Honestly, the only reason to have VB on the 3DS would be to make stuff like Jack Bros and Wario Land VB playable on a system that doesn't burn your eyes out of your skull.

Awesome, that's how I feel about it too but I don't know if people are going to be nit picky. I'm going to practice up on some sports games swapping those back and forth, but just to confirm the two maskroms are the chips on the lower right next to the C2 and C3 in the link below? http://www.snescentral.com/pcbboards.php?chip=SHVC-2A3M-20 falz posted:I think I have this, I bought a shitload of snes sports games for .50 each and was just going through them today.

Yes, they're the chips marked "U1 P0" and "U2 P1". What kind of equipment do you have? Be advised that swapping not one but two through hole chips like this is a nightmare without decent equipment. I have experience working with these types of boards and can say that they aren't impossible to do with just a solder sucker, but it is really tedious. If you know anyone who has access to a vacuum station you can make short work of it.

I remember being the one idiot kid who rushed to the Toys R Us aisle to play their VB model. I've never had a (physically) painful experience playing video games except for that one Bit Trip pong game which tripped me out and an early 90s 3D headset for Master System or Genesis, can't remember which.

I was also one of the weird kids kind of obsessed with the VB, rented one from blockbuster a few times/did the TRU demo thing a lot when it was actually out but didn't own one until I ended up buying a friends' for $40 in the early 00's e: as cool as I think it is I definitely don't think it's worth $100+

I'd be interested in sending you a few bucks for a donor shell for a Wild Trax/Stunt Race FX board if you have one. It would just need to fit a full-sized game board (with all 3 contact sections) and have one or more metal ground clips.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I mean, when you think about it, the wii-u doesn't support N64 carts, and the Xbox one doesn't play Windows 98 games, that's the same level of generational jump The Xbox One could be set up to play Windows 98 games, if Microsoft was willing to allow just any programs to run on it, the OS it's running these days is very close to regular Windows 10 but with fancy overlay stuff going on and the hardware is perfectly x86 compatible stuff. It'd require some extra patches to the OS or whatever but in principle it'd be very easy and they might very well start selling collections of older Microsoft-published Windows titles on it some day. (For that matter, the Xbox One could certainly handle emulation of original Xbox titles much better than the 360 did, but who knows when that'll ever get done).
