Ugh yeah, thanks guys. I might just pick up a SNES at that rate. And for the record, you got my number. I went SFC 100% for the aesthetics

On the flip side, modifying a US SNES or SNES mini to accept Super Famicom carts is really easy and only needs a pair of pliers.

I have to do this soon, I just got Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventure. Off hand, does anyone know if the tabs are easier to access if the system is dissasembled (talking model 1 here)? I want to do a cleaner job than just reaching in with pliers. I know on the SNES mini you can remove the plastic section with the tabs entirely by taking the system apart, so long as you don't mind not having the door on the cart slot anymore.

Monitor Burn took care of the region tabs on my Mini when he modded it, and it still has a cart slot door. Of course, he had the console disassembled to do the other mod work, so maybe it was easier for him that way. Regardless, just plier up. No one is going to see the scars of the former tabs, no one is going to care if they do, and it's way easier and probably less risky than getting tools, trying to disassemble your console, and then reassembling it.

I'm not so much worried about looks as getting the tabs flush with the bottom of the slot. Or am I over thinking how deep the cart sits in the system?

Sorry, so many reasons I hear for not breaking the tabs are related to aesthetics concerns or somehow violating the pristine retro spirit of their console. As if the Smithsonian will call them up one day, looking for exhibition pieces, and then go "NOPE NOT GENUINE ENOUGH!" or something. It doesn't have to be super-flush, in my experience. Just deep enough that the cartridge edge can get a good contact with the slot. If you have some small pliers and snips, you should be able to remove the tabs enough to allow this to happen by snipping, twisting, and pulling at them. Your Super Famicom games will probably need a firm press to insert, but I suspect that's the case no matter what since they aren't as wide as US carts and don't have the same form-fitting support in the slot.

Honestly these days you can cheat and go to the library and 3d print a new cart support if you really want it to be clean and smooth inside for some reason.

There's probably a market for replacement SNES case parts in different colors considering how many of them are yellowed.

I came across this thing going through a storage bin and thought it would be fun to set it up This is how we we pirated N64 games back in the day, it's a Bung Doctor V64. I actually had a different device called a Z64 when the N64 was current but I was introduced to the whole copier scene during the SNES days by a friend who had a Super Wildcard DX, and I ended up with one of those as well. When the N64 came around he went with the V64 and I got the Z64 and I always kind of wished I had gotten a V64 as well, it was just a cooler device (and it played VCDs!). Flash forward a bunch of years and I'm at a different friend's house and we're talking about how piracy was back then and I mention the V64, he's like "yup, that's what I used" and pulls out his setup, fully loaded with all 3 save adapters and maxed out 256mbit RAM, I ask if he wants to sell it and he lets it go for $90, which was and is a steal. I ended up selling my Z64 for something like $400 on a forum soon after and have had this thing ever since. The two adapters between the cart and system are for save games, they're not stacked like that to make a funny picture; the N64 actually uses a few types of save technologies. The DX256 is for EEPROM 4kbit saves, the DS1 is for SRAM saves, so both stacked like that will handle both kinds. The black adapter to the side is used when a game uses 16kbit EEPROM saves, you have to put a legit game in that has a 16kbit EEPROM and the save writes to that, erasing the game's own save. Even if you don't need to save you must use either the black "emulation adapter" or the DS1 (but not the DX256) between a legit cart and the N64 to bypass protection. Here's the rear:  There's a parallel port to load games from a PC or to save dumped games. Notice the RCA jacks, the OSD is generated by the V64 itself and sent out it's own video output, and you're supposed to plug the N64 in it's input. The game loading procedure goes like this: 1. Turn only the V64 on, put in a CD 2. Navigate to the ROM you want to load using the OSD and buttons on the V64 itself and select the game which is loaded into the V64's memory 3. Turn the N64 power on when prompted and play, the V64 detects this and switches from it's composite feed to the N64's Since I use an S-video cable I have an extra step of switching inputs when the game is loaded. Kids today and their everdrives have it too easy

My 4 year old is starting to get into wrestling. What's the best wrestling game from nes up to dreamcast for that age? Easy moves a bonus. We'll probably just do 2 player so he can beat up on me.

Acclaim made a bunch of wrestling games for the system (WWF Warzone, WWF Attitude, ECW Hardcore Revolution), but all of those are terrible. Oh, and then there's WCW Mayhem and WCW Backstage Assault by EA. The fact I forgot those existed probably gives you an idea of their quality.

Not the Acclaim ones, definitely (WWF Warzone and Attitude, ECW). THQ published ones are pretty good, and moves are pretty much just direction + button. WWF No Mercy is probably the best, but launch copies can have a fairly serious bug that erases saved data. WWF Wrestlemania 2000 is pretty decent as well. They made WCW games before they got the WWF license, but I'd hazard a guess that earlier = worse.

I know nothing about wrestling but I know people who are and they say N64 and Dreamcast are the best consoles for that (for dreamcast I understand there are some good imports as well if they're into Japanese wrestling) edit: there's also this for dreamcast, originally an arcade game and a perfect port since dreamcast and naomi are extremely similar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_Royal_Rumble_(2000_video_game) d0s fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Jan 17, 2017 |

We'll probably just do 2 player so he can beat up on me. Most of the really good ones are, as mentioned, on N64. Wrestlemania 2000, No Mercy, WCW/nWo Revenge, and World Tour are sort of the Mount Rushmore, as far as actual quality/playability go. On an anecdotal level though WWF Royal Rumble on SNES has super simple controls and might be a good starting point, even though it might not be as much fun for a more mature player. Also, as a gaming geek, a wrestling geek, AND a parent, I am very happy for you

WWF No Mercy is usually in the discussion of next wrestling game so I'll nth that recommendation. Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 shares a lot with No Mercy and might be worth checking out too.

VPW2 is the best of the AKI games in my opinion (it's more polished and has more content than No Mercy), but it's probably not the best choice for someone who just wants a wrestleman game to casually play with their kid (for one, the whole thing is in Japanese). I'd pick No Mercy or Revenge. Hardcore Gaming 101 has an extensive writeup on N64 wrestling games, mainly those by AKI: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/akiwrestling/akiwrestlinggames.htm

Discovering the existance of bAtari basic has given me this weird compulsion to write an Atari 2600 game using it. I have to keep reminding myself that a) I dont like the 2600 and b) I dont know basic. Even so I may download it and mess around with it anyway.

Quiet Feet posted:No mention of the NES pro wrestling game Pro Wrestling? Not to speak for anyone else but part of my goal was partly to get the kid to learn more about old wrestlers who actually existed but yes this is a must-have if you're looking to try some old-school wrestling games, especially given that it tends to go for like five bucks even at the price gouging retro stores. Also, since the original question got my wheels turning, I'll mention that WCW Superbrawl is probably the "best" wrestling game on SNES but WWF Wrestlemania: the Arcade Game is pure, cartoony fun. It is, however, very important to not confuse Wrestlemania: the Arcade Game with Super Wrestlemania. There is almost nothing good about Super Wrestlemania.
