Finally got my RetroPie setup going and holy crap this is awesome, it's incredibly easy and just works so well. Just need to order a few of those buffalo USB SNES pads. I think I might build one of these for a friend of mine for christmas, he wants a simple retrogaming setup for his kids, and this could not be easier [and his kids are old enough to not go loving with the setup menu and break it] Gonna probably build/buy one of those power switch setups though, it's dumb as gently caress that the pi does not have a power switch.

If you don't want to gently caress around too much, a switched USB cable does the trick. You just have to remember to shut it down from the menu first.

Miles McCloud posted:I gave up on trying to find a dead CPS2 B board, that's why I ordered the Hispanic Xmen vs Street Fighter. Hispanic B boards are in less demand than US or Japanese ones as they only work with Hispanic A boards. Since I'll be installing the Darksoft kit I don't need to worry about that. I got it today and it's even more filthy than I was expecting, I'll have my work cut out for me refurbishing it. Sorry for my idiocy, but you're pairing the hispanic B board with a US A board? For some reason I'd thought the donor carts needed to match region even with Darksoft's kit. If that works I think I'm definitely gonna go this route.

No, I ordered a hispanic A+B set. I normally wouldn't have done that because the A board can't play US or Japanese games but since I'll be installing the Darksoft kit into the B board it won't matter as it'll have all the games anyway. I paid $120 for the set from Mexico and it looks like hell but I'm not picky.

More retro vgm vinyl: SNATCHER (Sega CD) from Ship to Shore PhoneCo - It'll come in red/orange/white, crystal clear and green/grey variants, plus a black-on-red splatter variant exclusive to theyetee. Preorders start December 1: https://www.shiptoshoremedia.com/  Panzer Dragoon from Data Discs - 2xLP in black, sky blue or a limited-edition "frosted clear, sky blue and grey" variant; includes the full OST plus bonus synthesised versions of a few tracks. Data Discs tends not to reprint LPs with fancier packaging, so you may not want to sleep on this one. Preorders start December 3: http://data-discs.com/products/panzerdragoon  The Revenge of Shinobi by Data Discs - it'll come in black, bone or a limited-edition bone-and-black variant; composer Yuzo Koshiro wrote the liner notes and he'll be signing 50 copies of the limited edition which will be randomly distributed to people who pre-order within the first 12 hours of availability. Preorders start December 3: http://data-discs.com/products/therevengeofshinobi  Data Discs also confirmed they'll be putting out Gunstar Heroes and Streets of Rage 3 (shut up). Ship to Shore has more Konami and Taito soundtracks in the works, including Darius, Gradius, Rocket Knight Adventures and perennial favourite The Adventures of Bayou Billy. EDIT: oh and Brave Wave recently announced two remastered Ninja Gaiden series OSTs - it looks to be a ways out right now but the first OST will include the music from the arcade game and the first NES game and the second will include the music from NES games 2 and 3, with oversight from the original composers: http://www.bravewave.net/genseries/003 PaletteSwappedNinja fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Dec 1, 2016 |

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Hey, someone (I think d0s) mentioned that coinopexpress is unreliable as hell and might not even be able to get you the stuff that you order. If they have a quantity listed for something on their website, does that mean it's safe, or is it still a crapshoot? I'm not the one who said that in this thread but that is the consensus, they pretty much put everything on their site and when you order they e-mail you and tell you if they actually have it or not and if they do its usually for a lot more than is listed on the website.

I got that Art of Atari book this week and have been paging through it. I was surprised at how much work the author did to track down some of this artwork and their artists. I was expecting all scans of boxes/manuals, but he must have got ahold of a lot of originals because some of the scans are beautiful. And there's often a short quote from the artist about the work. There's also some stuff that you probably won't find outside the book currently. For example, there's a quote from the artist of the 5200 version of Realsports Basketball (unreleased) where he states Atari made him change the black player on the cover to a white guy. The book has both versions of the cover, and I can't find either one online (it's different than the 2600 artwork, which is out there.) Overall, it's a very high quality art book and I'd highly recommend it.

Are there any dealers/importers who do what they do, but in an actually reliable fashion, or is pretty much any way of getting candy cabs in the US gonna be a crapshoot? I've heard even the bulk orders on neo-geo.com tend to not pan out a lot of the time.

Windy Gaming was importing them for the last 3 years or so but after having shipment issues with his suppliers he stopped. Otherwise you had a chance~ vv yeah Windy was more like $700-900 in the US but like I said, he stopped. Shipping or delivery was also significantly less horrible than that.

Huh, so apparently my local game store in bumfuck nowhere has some ties to Ancient Corp because they got gifted a Famicom Mini from them, and then also sent a promotional pixel art thing of the store owner's image to them. That's kind of cool. I was wondering what the random facebook post from them months ago boosting Gotta Protectors was about considering how obscure that is.

I dont think I saw this posted, but ESPN did an article on game collecting. It's focused on Stadium Events and some events around it: http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/18121761/the-true-story-nintendo-most-coveted-game edit: well then.

I remember seeing few candy cabs during our search. We finally found a guy unloading a Soul Caliber cabinet for like $100. Carrying that up 4 flights of really narrow stairs was not fun.

I have an american street fighter II cab with a tiny screen, bought it from a friend in high school for $100. you don't want a standing cab like this for your house if you actually want to play games and not just have a piece of cool furniture, they're engineered to be uncomfortable and happ style sticks/buttons are imprecise garbage. I'm putting it on craigslist soon if anyone in florida wants to buy the wrong kind of cab

I haven't watched a lot of Game Chasers, but I actually heard about them from The Video Game Years, which is pretty much like a videogame version of VH1's tributes to various decades in music and tv. Seriously, it gets cheesy at points (many points, actually  ) but overall, I absolutely love The Video Game Years and strongly recommend it to anyone and everyone in this thread. Good god, I hope they tackle the 90s.

I have an AV famicom coming in the mail. Official NES controllers seem to sell second hand for like 30$ (i'm in Australia) which doesn't seem like such a good deal. What should I get? I'm thinking of just getting an 8bitdo wireless receiver and using that.
