No it isn't. Sorry you're mad about quite frankly last-ditch efforts to keep the SNES viable when the N64 project turned out to take longer than they were planning for?

I dont know if has been posted before but I found the most amazing retro game store in south west Florida right on Ft Myers beach. Literally had walls full of stacked loose nes and snes game and at a price well below what I thought a B&M store would price them at.They had any game and console I could think of, In box for the consoles or loose if you wanted. Owner was a kid in his twenties and was chill, would def recommend if you guys are ever that way.

The HD Retrovision component cables for SNES/Genesis are back in stock. I know it's been said in this thread before that you might as well put the money towards Framemaster / RGB modding but the option is there.

Besides my HDTV(s) I've got a 4:3 LCD TV that should work great with it, although I've plugged my SNES into it with composite and get a very distracting jittering when doing so. We'll see how it goes.

Mak0rz posted:Is Crystalis that short? I picked it up recently and played it for a few hours before I got bored of the grind and put it down again. univbee posted:If you know what you're doing it's definitely doable in one sitting. Totally random guess like 5-6 hours of casual play? There are a few elements which are annoying if you're going in blind, though, like if you're underleveled at a boss (which is likely) you straight-up can't do damage to them and have to die, and I think some more obtuse "puzzle" elements. Less than that, even. 4-5 more like, and record speedruns are under an hour. The grind gets less painful as you get deeper into the game and there are a few enemies you'll encounter at various points that are basically built for grinding and provide way more XP for the effort than everything around them---the zombies and blue jelly things in Mt. Sabre, the gorgons near Portoa, the poisonous flower-turtle-whatsits in the one ocean cave, etc. Grinding out the last two levels (the game caps at level 16) takes less time than grinding out basically any one previous level if you just keep clearing the scorpions out of the cave just beyond the last town for like five or ten minutes.

Only Shallow posted:Has anyone else ordered a deluxe edition flash cart from Stone Age Gamer? I picked up a Mega Everdrive and wanted the case and manual to fit in on the shelf next to our boxed retail games, and they sent me just the flash cart. Did the extra stuff come as a second shipment, or did they just gently caress up? At least the flash cart itself is cool I'll pm you too, but I was at a con today where StoneAgeGamer had a booth. I mentioned your post and they said to contact them and they'll make it right.

I was never a Sega kid so I was always extremely jealous that the games came in actual cases. Storing your Nintendo games in their boxes was a little impractical. I don't know anyone that ever kept them.

Yeah Genesis cases are amazing, and are basically what the entire industry moved to eventually (dvd cases). Its crazy that Nintendo did flimsy cardboard for years, and Sony did those lovely cd jewel cases (although at least that kinda made sense). CIB Nintendo games are much harder to find as a result, Playstation games aren't hard to find in the case but its often cracked, and Genesis games almost always come complete in box with manual because it was so much easier to keep them.

hell, i've ordered cheap Genesis games from Gamestop's online store expecting a cartridge in bad shape, only to get a CIB game instead. never anything where that really matters value-wise, but it's still cool to have stuff like NBA Jam TE with the case and manual and everything

I'm starting to learn that the Blinking Light Win mod for the NES, while dramatically increasing the success rate of getting games to play, is still liable to both humidity/heat and the generally thick PCBs of NES games and need to get bent back inwards with pliers or something.

Mak0rz posted:I beat the bug boss in the poison forest and then went to some snowy mountain and that's about as far as I got. The game was a bit fun, but I think the lack of direction and constantly respawning mooks got to me after a while. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, from what I'm told people love that game for the world-building and that takes effort to find and enjoy. I played it on og xbox in like 05 or 06 (whenever Oblivion came out, that's what made me grab it) and personally it bored me to tears. If I was a little younger and got a chance to play it before college/adult life I probably would've devoured it though.

Bizhawk 2.0 has been released. It adds ports of Mednafen's Neo Geo Pocket and Virtual Boy cores, and replaces the old Yabuse-based Saturn core with Mednafen's. I'm always looking for excuses to not use Retroarch, so this is great!

On the upside its easy as hell to case swap PS1 games because of the abundance of jewel cases, I wind up doing it a lot. Makes the games look nice and you can't really tell the change since those cases are pretty standardized. Speaking of Playstation I guess I can be counted in the "loves Mr. Domino" camp, I just got it and quite enjoy the challenge.

If this isn't the appropriate thread then please let me know and point me in the right direction. I'm trying to remember the name of a tabletop electronic game I had in the early / mid-80's. The form factor was similar to Tandy tabletop games of the era but I wasn't able to find it in any of the lists I looked at. You controlled a little guy in a spacesuit as he spacewalked around. you had to avoid enemies, grab a person, and return him/her to your ship. I think in some levels you used the ship and tried to catch them with a grappling claw or something. It was not Defender.

Curious if anyone has RGB modded their consumer TV yet? http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=56155 I've been somewhat casually looking for a 25" arcade monitor for the last year or so locally (craigslist) with no luck. Seems like perhaps grabbing the right consumer TV, doing this mod and then somehow mounting the tube may work.. maybe?

To be fair, Atlus localized the PlayStation version of Tactics Ogre, though the SFC one is free of load times and (probably) Star Wars references. I like the PSP remake best, but it changes a lot.

So I picked up an N64 and an SNES from my in-laws house today (as they had no use for them and they weren't even hooked up) the scuff pads had partially melted/dissolved and left a sticky black goo like residue that got on my hand and was kind of a pita to clean off my hand (solution was to cover it up with black electrical tape). They weren't stored in a hog area or anything. Just wondering if this had ever happened to anyway else. Never had it happen or even heard about it when I was younger.

I haven't experienced it with those consoles, but that's definitely a thing with old rubber. I've seen scuff pads on old stereo equipment turn to goo, and of course rubber belts in stereo equipment. The analog sticks on dualshock 2's will also start to "sweat" goop if they are left for a while.

Same with SNES games. Genesis had cases that kept.

Seeing all these RGB mods & enhancements kind of makes me salty for the North American TV market. RGB via SCART was the HDMI of its day while most of us were slumming it on RF, Composite, and S-Video. Component wasn't terribly common and by the time it was gaining a bit of traction HDMI was starting to creep into the market. That said, I currently have an SNES, Saturn, and N64 currently hooked up via SCART cables to a switcher, that feeds a lovely generic chinese SCART>HDMI upscaler, and it fuckin owns. Saturns have especially fantastic RGB output.
